I JIM'S DARLING. 1
K-ViihlH.HiriKijiiHiHVrflKtidWKV
IH It posKliile to be In love Willi two
girls nt the same time? That was
the problem which had been tor
meiitltie; .11 111 llnrrlHou for the Inst
six mouths or more. It was the ques
tion lie nsUed himself nervously -whenever
he happened to sea May mid
I.ncy Thompson together.
Stay nnd I.ucy wore cousins, or
phans, who sbnrvd n homo, nn aged
nmit who performed the duties of a
chnperon and n dross allowance of
ZM per annum.
May was young and pretty. Now,
youth and beauty being two of the
surest of Cupid's darts, May's youth
ond good looks wonld surely have set
tled .Tim, only, unfortunately, IiUey
wns young ami pretty, too.
May wns tall and dark, with a Greek
protlle. and mnsses of smooth, blue
block bnir, arranged In simple colls,
regardless of fashion's decrees.
I.ucy, on the other hnnd, was a
small, fair girl, with nn aureole of
ilulTy hair aud the sauciest nez re
troussc In the world.
Jim admired tall, dark women, and
the contemplation of n Greek prolllo
was to him n source of unceasing Joy,
This would, no doubt, have led him
to glvo tho preference to May, bad It
not been for the fact Hint nn equally
amiable weakness for Lucy's typo of
loveliness drew hi 111 In the opposlto
direction.
.Tim's friends spott- of May ns 0110
ef the most accomplished and atulnblo
creatures they had ever met.
They referred to Lucy In precisely
similar terms.
May looked magnificent In white
sntln, nnd when Jim saw her In n ball
room he wondered how he could ever
have given a thought to Lucy.
But, then, Lucy was altogether be
witching In blue linen, nnd no sooner
did Harrison behold her thus attired
In a punt on the river thnn the I.slon
of May's charms faded Into Insignifi
cance. To make a long story short
Jim's adoration of May was only
equaled by Ills devotion to Lucy, and
dltHcultles were In no wise lessened
by the fact that both parties recipro
cated his affection.
Tho chances nre thnt Jim would
havo ended by remaining a bachelor
to his dying dny but for tho advent
of a fourth party upon tho scene of
action. Tho fates selected ns their In
strument ono Bertie Thompson, broth
er to May, home from school for tbo
summer holidays.
Bertie, aetat fourteen, was a smart
lad, with somewhat decided views
upon the respective merits and de
merits of his cousin and sister. lie
took In the situation at a glance, and
having uo particular objection to JIra
as a brotber-ln-law, decided, for rea
sons to be herelnfator set forth, that
May was tho girl for Jim.
He pondered tho subject at monl
times and other odd times not occu
pied by weightier matters. After the
lapso of seven days his youthful re
flections might have been crystallzed
Into some such soliloquy as this:
"Both the girls nre dead nuts on
Harrison, and Harrison Is dead nuts
on both tho girls. But, then. Harri
son's only seen 'era In their best bibs
and tuckers, stuck all over with com
pany manners. Suppose tie caught
sight of them mouchlng around the
house say, at 0.30 In tho morning
would be go on being spoons on them
both? I'd back May a hundred to one
against Loo, any day. P'raps he'd
chuck them both, though. But It's
worth risking, anyway."
Thereupon Bertie hatched a diaboll
cal plat.
As the nearest relative of the ob
jects of Jim's affections Bertie was a
privileged visitor at Harrison's room
Jim evinced no astonishment, there
fore, when Bortle burst Into his don
late one Saturday night and announced
his Intention of accompanying him on
a long-projected bicycle trip on the
following morning.
"You'll have to pass our show, In
any case," said the astute Bertie, "so
you might as well pick me up on the
way. Besides, the girls want ,to see
yon shout a picnic they're getting up
next wepk."
This lattpr orgnmpnt, an Inspiration
of the moment, not nltogethpr founded
upon the fact, proved Irresistible, nnd
so It fell out thnt, punctually nt 0.30
on the following day Jim's rnt-n-tnt
sounded upon tbo Thompson's front
door.
Now Mny nnd Lttey wero quite ne
customed to tho sound of double
knocks on n Sunday morning. It wns
thn sound with which certain chums
of Bertie's, tho boys from next door
but one, were wont to present them
selves nt the Thompson doorstep every
Bnhhntli with unfailing regularity.
Thus It vns that, vrhm Hnrrlron,
admitted by the nimble Bertie, entered
the Thompsonlnti domicile neither
Mny nor Lucy was prepared for bis arrival.
The two girls, ns Bertie bad takpn
enro to ascertain, were engaged, each
In her own way, in killing the time be
tween breakfast ond dressing for
church.
Lucy, who Invariably Indulged In
tea and toast In her bedroom, bad
just emerged front thnt sanctum in
scml-clvllli-.cd nttlre, nnd when Har
rison, at Bertie's Instigation, entered
the drawing room, nn unexpected vis
ion met bis giizp. ..- -.,.
Lucy wns seated at the plnno, bang
ing the keys with 0110 hand, nnd with
tlio other mnintnlning a steady com
munication between her mouth find n
box of chocolates, placed within con
venient reneh. She wns garbed In nn
old satin skirt no longer In Its primp,
nml 11 mueli-befrllled dressing jacket,
thnt must have been coquettish In Its
youth, but wns now slightly soiled. A
pair of pink sntln shoes, no longer lr-
eproachable, completed the costume.
Her preliy llufTy bnlr. with Its dls
tnictlng little poufs nml curls, that
.Tim considered the most ndorable part
of Lucy, bad sulTered total eclipse
under a mass of halr-eurlers.
Jim, having 110 sisters of bin own,
was unaccustomed to this last phe
nomenon. Who t lint has ever expe
rienced It will readily forget the shock
produced upon a dellcnte nervous or
ganization at tho lirst glimpse of ft
young and beautiful woman under the
Influence of linlr-curlers?
In ten second Jim Harrison suffered
nil the tortures of 11 terrible disillu
sionment. Lucy, the child of bis
dreams, winsome, delicate Lucy, with
her feathery, golden curls ond her
Prcsden china daintiness, faded from
bis vision, niid there remained a very
ordinary young person In a soiled
sal In skirt and questionable shoes a
young person with a tlp-tllted nose,
who devoured chocolates wholesale,
nml owed her chief attraction to ex
trnueous causes commonly called
curllng-plus.
Without 11 word nnd beforo Luev
had had tlmo to become conscious of
bis presence, Harilsou turned and
tied from tlio room.
"Como and see May," whispered
Bertie.
"Xo, for heaven's sake!" cried tho
miserable .Tim. "I can't stand nr.y
more of thin'."
Nevertheless, n Fort of fearful fnsel-
nntlon, n wild desire to know tho
worst, led him to follow the relentless
Itertlo down tho stilrs Into tho regions
devoted to culinary pursuits.
they found Mny in the kitchen, mak
ing a Yorkshire pudding. Attired i.i
n pink cotton overall, the long sleeves
or winch were rolled bnck well nbovo
the dimpled elbow, she vigorously
stirred tho batter, pausing every now
nnu men to brush nwny certain rebel
lious tears Hint threatened to mliislo
with tho pudding. Her heavy black
unir was coiled, as ho bod always
seen It, in neat braids around tho
shapely head. Jim remembered that
he bad sometimes considered tho stylo
n trlllo severe, and had even compared
tho simple colls unfavorably with
Lucy's picturesque locks. At tills mo
ment bo could not understand how he
bad over tundo such a mistake. Tho
thought of tho curllng-plus dispelled
tho charm of tbo curls.
Mny, making a bntter' nuddlns nnd

slfilllilo. To Harrison tho girl had
neier neomea so beautiful as now.

bright youth! had disappeared. Jim
was nlono with May and her pudding
and her tears.
"Tell me. oarllng," asked J!m, ten
minutes later, ''why you wcro crying
when I cnnio In Just now?"
"I I was thinking you wcro in love
with Lucy, and. nnd "
The rest of tho sentence was whis
pered to the second button of Jim's
wolstcoat.
"Why, you dear little goose, what on
earth could havo put such an Idea Into
your bead?"
At this Juucturo Jim. tho shameless,
would most certainly havo placed his
arm around tho dear littlo goose's
waist, only it already happened to oc
cupy that position.

softly to hlniself.-Wonian's Life.
Why Borne Children Are Tlinlil,
now many children have been terrl
fled by stories of tho "Bogy Man," of
"the wolf that will come aud eat
them," of "tho policeman who will
put tbem la the lockup," till their
feur of the dark amounts to positive
agony. Bedtime should be an hoar
Inseparably associated with the prayer
at tho mother's knee, followed by a
quiet talk, after which tho little one
settles down to a restful sleep. But
Instead how often does It happen that
the child Is tucked In bed with the
admonition, "Now go right to sleep,
like a good boy, for If you don't there's
a big dog over there In tho corner
that'll como and btto you!" Go to

the child awake. How can lie be ex

Not thnt tlie tarpon Is not nn edlliln

The trouble Is thnt the tarpon In Its
eagerness to get n square tuenl, gets
after these edible fish, stents bnit nnd
often runs nwny with the books nnd

nnd run In the opposite direction.
Soon on all sides tho tnrpon will begin
to plunge nbovo tho surface of the

penrs thnt the tarpon Is quite n g"n

But the tnrpon Is nn enemy to any

Wholesale Terjiiry In Court.
At tho recent meeting of the Iowa
Bur Association President McCarthy
rnndo boiho very startling charges ns
to tho prevnlenco of false testimony
In courts of the present dny. Uo
snld: "Where Is thero ft lawyer who
has not seen a guilty criminal pass
out of the court room acquitted aud
free because of perjured testimony?
What one of us has not seen rights
of persons nnd of property sacrificed
and trampled under foot, presumably
under due forms of law, but really
and truly by tho uso of corrupt, falso
and sometimes purchased testimony?
These ure the things thnt beget dls
trust nnd disrespect for the courts and
for verdicts nnd for our boasted forms
of laws. Theso are tho things thnt
produco anarchy, lynchlngnnd Invito
a Just contempt for, ns well as a IneE
of confidence in, tho tribunals called
courts of Justice."
Ono remedy, be thought, was to
make oaths more Impressive. Onths
should be administered solemnly by
the Judge, he said; and tho Judge
should take frequent occasions to im
press on witnesses the severity of
punishment for perjury. He thought
oaths of ofllclnls to do their duty
should bo abolished, and that la no
case should they be allowed to bo
taken lightly.
Need of Third Era.

"Why a third eye?" some ono Inquired.
He answered: "To cnablo mo to seo

Some men have that extra vision. But
It Is not a separate organ, not concreto
