HER BOY.
i
The long-looked-for and nuirh
dreaded day bad come at last! Wil
lie Knight wis going to see his moth.
er for the first time In five years, and
he was but nine now. Colonel and
Mrs. Knight lived In India at the
time of Willie's birth. She was the
acknowledgn.1 beauty of the station,
and could give no time from the
whirl and excitement of army life to
care about tbe baby boy who had
come to ber, and It was a great re
lief wien a sister had offered to take
the 'jaby and bis aah back to Eng
land with ber. When he was 6 years
old Willie was sent to boarding
school, only leaving It occasionally to
pay a visit to bis aunt.
Mrs. Knight bad met wltb a very
serious accident while out riding one
day, and as she lay for weeks on her
sick bed her thoughts turned to ber
long forgotten boy, and an Intense
pes I re to see him cume over her. As
she grew stronger the doctors advised
her husband to take her home. Wil
lie knew Very little 01' hfs mother ex
cept tbat she was ven beautiful and
a great society leader, and tu . his
heart he worshipped this unknown
mother with something akin to awe.
She was coming on the day tbat was
the great event In the school life.
Besides "olng the lnsi day of tbe
school term, prizes for the year's
work were to be awarded, and par
ents and friends of the boya were in
vited to attend the exercises. After
the prize-giving tbe affair would be
come purely social, buildings and
grounds would be inspected, chums
juld be Introduced and feasts and
fun ad Infinitum.
For the first time lr his life Willie
Clsplayed some anxiety as to his per
ronal appearance, and as he gazed in
to his mirror he came to the pitiful
ccnclusion that even an ordinary
mother could not possibly feel proud
bf h.ra. His hair had a knack of
standing up In little tufts, his nose
was a very funny tittle affair, his
creeks were smothered witb freckles,
and he never bad noticed before tbat
his feet and hands were altogether
out of proiiortlon to the rest of his
body. "I wish she was just an ordi
nary mother a.id not such a great
lady," he thought, and the tears were
pretty hard to kpej back.! 1 .
But the gong bad sounded and (he
boys gathered ready to march Into
tbe great hll. Here the visitors
were assembled and tbe eyes of the
boys eagerly sought out teir loved
ones. "Tbat beaut'ful tall lady must
be mother,"' thought Willie, but no!
She was smiling at a boy the other
side of the room. Tbe opening ex
cclses bad started, and still Willie's,
yes were searching the throng of
Lappy faces, and bis heart began tu
ink as he realized that after all she
was not there. "She uoesn't care," he
thougbt, while tbe tears of disap.
lotn'ment welled up luto bU eyes,
'and she never tas cared." x
Uu. Jie was suddenly brought back
to the present by a vigorous nudge
from bis ncignbor. "See tbat tall
man, 6-foot-4 sure," be whinnered,
'"and soldier, too, I bet."
"Isn't be a danny?" replied Willie
with genuine admiration. "I won
der who he blongs to; wish he was
my dad." taid the neighbor. "So do
I," Came the answer, and with a cu.
rloui thrill Wllae began to realize
that he had a father, too. a soldier,
and be wondered how he would look.
At last tbe exercises were over, the
ranks broken sud the boys eagerly
greeting their frli-n lb.
Willie observed uow tbat tbe tali
oian bad his hand on an Invalid chair
In whirh sat sweet-faced mdy.
"I'll Just wait and see who they be
long to " be thought, with an en
vious grip at his heart, "then I'll go
ot and hide aoutewbere. I can't
bear to vee them ail so luippy. It is
r. irder to have a mother that doesn't
care than to have none at all."
"Well, Mary, It looks as though w
shall have to get some one to help us
find our boy," the tull man was say.
Iuk. "Can I find aDoie for you,
ir?" sa d Willie, stepping forward.
"Yes, i want why, surely this

embrace as made up to him for all
the motherless years gone by. it
seemed too good to be true! How
iroud he was to introduce the sol
dier father to his admiring friends,
and to bold tbe band ot his lovely
mother as she told him of her plans
for the future, in which she meant to
hold tight onto tbe little lad;so sad
ly neglected. If the.e was one thi
more which could be added to hlshap.

swer to his father's question to his
mother as to how she knew Willie.,
she replied: "He looks Just as you
must have looked at his age." ,

The jeweler, at closing time, was
putting his diamonds in a huge safe.
"But why do you bother to do thai
when two watchmen walk tbe shop
all n'ebt long?"
"On account of fire," the Jeweler
replied. ' Diamonds are nothing but
roalcarbon they burn beautiftrly.
Their hardness makes us think them
Indestructible, but, as a matter of
fact, a fire of diamonds would be tbe
urkkest. rettiest thing In the worid.

The ninoilthlrsty Woman.
When an English princess became
the bride of King Alfonso It was pre
dicted tbat the tide of popular favor
would turn against bull fighting In
Spain. But Queen Victoria has ab
andoned ber moral campaign against
the brutal sport because of the active
opposition of the Spanish women. It
has now become' apparent that worn
n are the chief support of bull light
ing In Spain, as they are cf the
theatre In this country. At all the
recent fights In Madrid and' Barcelo
na women have been In tbe great
majority tn the audience, and not
latistled with their seats In the hqxes
these bloodthlrMy- Castlllan womea
have organized and. forced the build
ing of special seats for their exclus
ive use on a. level with the bull. ring.
From tbeso seals they are enabled
almost to reach out and touch tbe
tortured bulls, while mere man baa
to be content to sit by his loneliness
in the boxes Queen Victoria has
Introduced English fashions In dress
Into Spain but she has been powerless
to check the national sport. After
her first taste of bull fighting, whea
a bride of two weeks, she vowed that
she would not return again to the
arena, but political expediency has

"I think It only proper to remark,
Mr. 8eet." said the haughty girl, who
thought she detected "signs," "that
I would not marry, the best man liv

Mr. Con Reel, "be isn't going to pro
