E. L KEMP,
Principal
Fashion Cavalier 1
The Knight of the Golden Helmet
rode brleVly down the lane. His sword
made a pleasant clanking In the rusty
scabbard, which It waa never Intended
to lit; hit eyea sparkled; his plumea
wared bravely ln the breeie.
The general get-up of the gentleman
of the aureate headpiece waa a trifle
startling. Upon his head waa a basket,
the handle beneath his chin and Its
bottom (or rather top In Ha present
position) decorated with the tail-feathers
of an Incautious rooster; about hla
waist waa a red sash stuck full of
wooden dirks; from the left side of
this sash half hung, half dragged the
naval aword ln the old cavalry soab
bard. A rake handle answered the purpose
of a lance and bore as Its pennon a
uttering, three-cornered piece of red
flannel; upon the knight's fat, chubby
legs were fastened plecea of zinc, evi
dently Intended for greaves. The
ateeJ he bestrode was a crooked piece
of apple limb, with a bit of twine
about one end of' It for reins.
It Is probably quite aa Heedless to
cite that, now the literature had been
absorbed, he thlrstpd for deeds of valor.
Hence the ride down the lane, and
hence the whoops. But very unfor
tunately It seemed to be an off day for
opportunities
He had Just aplaahed through the
muddy pool where the cattle dranV
each evening, and waa cantering
blithely past the blrchea beyond, when
he aaw a young man approaching a
young man In flannels, very tall and
straight, pleasant faced, too, although
Just now the forehead was wrinkled
In a frown and the firm Jaw was set
ln determination. The young man was
puffing vigorously at the briar pipe
between bis teeth, aending out great
blue clouda of smoke ln hla wake.
The Knight of the Golden Helmet
reined In bis steed and accosted the
man before htm with a familiar:
"Hey, Charlie!"
Then, suddenly remembering the
dignity of bis position, he squared his
smalt shoulders and threw up his
chin.
""What ho, Charles!" he corrected
his firdt saluatlon. "Hold a bit I
wouldst have converse with thee."
The young man seemed aware for
the first time of the other's presence.
"Hello, Billy," said he, abstractedly
glancing at the queer figure before
him. "What's up now?"
"I am the Knight of the Golden Hel
met." waa the grave response.
"You don't say. Where are you
bound?"
"Where la thy lady?" the knight de
manded. "My lady? Tou mean your Aunt
Margaret?"
The knight nodded.
"Down the lane a, bit, by the wal
nut tree. Know ' (be place, don't
you?"
"Sure," was the unknlghtly reply.
He drew a bit nearer; one band
rested upon the hilt of the sword.
"Why are you here, varlet?" he de
manded. "Why hast thou deserted thy
lady?"
"Huh!" aald the man ln flannels.
Then h burst Into laughter, but there
was certain grating noise ln it
Wen, Billy Mr. Golden Helmet, I
mesa I'm bare because she sent me.
Couldn't seem to endure my society
are you en? And I hardly think you're
correct In calling her my lady. Bhe
Just told me mighty plainly that abe
wasn't"
"Back you go, craven!" he declared,
flatly.
"Hua? What?" aald the man ln
the flannels.
"Back you got I ride to the succor
of ladies in distress."
"Bully for you, old chap!" the other
replied. "I think you'd better go alone,
though."
"Never!" bawled the knight "Turn
around!"
"See bere," the young man began
Irritably, aa be took a step forward;
but at that moment they both beard
quick steps down the lane.
Around the bend came the lady under
discussion. Bha started violently at
the eight of them. Her face was flush
ed and her eyes wer auspiciously red.
"I've got him," shouted the knight
Joyously; "he's ln my power. He was
deserting you, but I held blm up. I'll
see he begs your pardon. If you aay
to."
The young woman drew herself up.
Her face was scarlet now.
"Billy, what are you doing? What
is the meaning of this foolishness?''
she demanded.
"Come on, you! Apologize!" said
the youth sulkily, prodding the Imma
culate white trousers with the point of
his sword.
"Margaret," he cried, "he's right 1
stould apologize, that's a fact I'm a
pig-headed duller. The quarrel U my
fa dt all mine."
Xtea came few low words; a lit
tle happy laugh from the girl, and
then two of them strolled down the
lsne together, utterly oblivious to the
ridiculous figure which stood silently
wa' -lng them until they disappeared
around the bend.
The Knight of the Golden Helmet
remained thus for some moments. Ion
in thought Then he turned about and
went slowly up the lane.
"Gee!" be muttered, "wouldn't that
cook yer? This ain't tbe way they
done it la the book."
He waa still lost In his own mus
lags as, whooplesa, he passed again
the grating cattle and the huddled
sheep. BARRY PRESTON.
The American Girt Abroad.
At the luncheon hour in the 8trand
recently the traffic was held up, pe
destrians puizled after the nearest
fire alarm, constables spread tbetr
arms and the crowd Increaaed. From
the edge of the crowd tbe struggling
wayfarer peered and heard the snap
of the camera through the official si
lence. It was an American girl snap
hooting her companions.

The reading room wag as quiet as a
ton..... is'ow n:id t'arn r,ora studs its
turned a page Impatiently and the pa
per gave forth a sharp rustle as
though aggrieved at such -irreverent
treatment, but visitors and attendants
alike moved about with slieut ire .d,
rubber caps rendered chair legs noise
less when they were moved, and the
very card catalogue drawers moved
on silent ways.
Linda loved this quiet After- the
clatter and clutter of a buBy office
which she had been compelled to es
cape because of nerves threatened to
grow unruly, the bookish silence of
the reading room waa more than
grateful. She was sorry when the
closing hour came, ard, after a brlet
interval spent in checking up the slips
and aeeing that the books were re
placed In their proper stacks, she bad
to go out into the turmoil of the bus)
street
The quiet place was never lonesome.
Linda bad many friend among those
quiet, atudious men and women who
spent their days pouring over the ref
erence books. There waa the little
old woman from the costumers who
spent daya over old books In search
of correct pictures of the dresses of
by-gone days; there waa the little old
German who waa reading everything
he could find upon chemistry, and
there was the tall, quiet man who dis
played a singular catholicity of taste.
One day It would be books on astrono
my that he wanted, and again he
would be Interested ln geography or
chemistry.
Of them all this man Ballington was
the most regular ln his attendance
and seemed the most I like an old
frlond. It was he who. had quietly
aided Linda with suggestions which
ehn bad first come to the room. He
had been a "resular" and had known
ni'-e of the routine than she did. But
it was often that IJnJ was able to
help him with a suggestion as to
new book, for her . heart was in her
work and she was something more
than an automaton, dealing out the
books called for with mechanical in
difference.
Balllngtcn, Richard Ballington she
knew the name from his slips seemed
almost a part of the rending room it
self, bo regular was he in attendance
and hla good morning smile was a
pleasant opening of. the day's routine.
Last Christmas he bad brough. a
little gift the day before the holiday
and sometimes, when luck was par
ticularly good, a box of candy would
come back with a book.
The summer before their vaca
tions had overlapped and for an
entire month she had not seen
him. Bhe was glad whan the vaca
tion waa over and she could come
back to her place at the desk with the
beloved books around tier and with
Ballington sitting in the chair ln a
far corner where he was least likely to
be disturbed.
For once Linda was glad as the
hands of the clock crept around to
closing time and ebe knew that ln an
hour more she would be free to hur
ry home and creep into bed. Just be
fore the hands reached the closing
hour Ballington rose from bis place
and brought a book to the desk. Then,
instead of leaving, he went over to
the catalogue and began to scan the
cards ln one of the drawers. Fo- a
few months Linda watched him, then
he looked up with the familiar glance
of appeal and she came over to the
catalogue drawer.
"Struck for a title?" she asked In
a voice so low that it seemed scarce
ly to be a whisper. "What's the let
ter?" . . t a. ..
. ."'L.' said Ballington. !' 'Lo,' to be
exact."
"Logging?" she asked. "That's un
der lumber." '. r' . . ,
"Not logging," be denied. "It's a
shorter word. 'L-o-v-e.'"
"I don't think that's catalogued,"
she said in dismay. "It's a funny sub
ject Suppose we look for 'Ro
mance'?" "Let's look for romance, but not In
books," be pleaded. "I know that this
is a silly sort of proposal, but I love
you, little girl I've been sure of It
ever since l?.3t summer, when I missed
you for a whole month. Those two
weeks when you were away I sltrply
could not do any reading. I've been
trying ever olnce to toll you, but I
didn't see how. I don't waut to hant
around outeide o! the library until ; oti
couio out, and I do want you to he'.i
me look for rouia::ca, Linda, even
though It la not In toe titles?"
"I think It Is !n the catalogue," she
said, eoi'tly, "but If you'd rather, I'll
help you after hoars."
"There may be a romance in the
catalogue," snld Bslllngron, "but no
as good a romance aB there la this
uiorae nt Just outside tbe drawers. Yoi
do tare a little bit, Linda."
"Since lat vacation," she admitted
'You may come this evening If yo
!ko lo begin the study."
Pallinpron mpde a note of her ail
3re33 ard left the place with e'.asti
stsT aud beating heart, while L'r.-t
ent back to roeive the books t'ai
I'eadt-rs were returning. As she gav
rni 1 look around aa tlie.iast boolt v,-?
strcVed and t:ie day's vvork done, sV
patttd the catalogue .cabinet aa sh
passed It,
"You're awfully wise." she wlilste
td, "with your thousands of titles. 1
you haven't 'Love,' and I'm er
ror you." Then Linda walked o r
enter a new world.
Unfortunate.
"Ah!" said the candidate, "this Is
Farmer Whlffletree's place, I believe.
And you have Just celebrated your
golden wedding, I understand?"
"Golden weddin' nuthla'l" was the
response. "I've Just been sued for ten
thousand dollars' wuth of breach of
promise. You've got your card Index

j Addse's Proposal
cj iis a an as aa .
Of course, Addle Ronolda did not
flirt She would toll you so herself,
but there were some ill-natured per
sons ln Brookton who were an un
kind as to declare that a young wom
an who dragged half a score of esger
Minors at her chariot wheels was e,
confirmed flirt
"She's the sort that dies an old
maid," explained Mrs. Cady, In the
awed voice of one who regarda spin
Isterhood as a disgrace unbearable.
Phil Brewster, one of her most ar
dent admirers, was undoubtedly good
looking. He was full six feet tall,
we'll built and, when he forgot to pose
which was seldom he moved alert
ly and with natural grace. Tim Darn
ley waa his exact opposite. He lacked
six Inches of Brewster's height and
he could not coax a romantic glance
Into his blue eyes, try ss he would.
His hair was thin and Inclined to
reddish tint and there were times
when be felt that bis banda were as
large as dinner plates.
Now aa she sat there with halt n
dozen cavaliers ln attendance, and the
entire congregation of the Brick
church looking on, Addle enjoyed the
situation. 8be could Imagine tbe gos
sips declaring, as they had done at
every social she could remember, that
the Sunday school rooms were Just
the same as the church Itself, and
that It was profanation of the house
of the Lord for ber to carry on so.
That was one of the reasons why
Addle always flirted more desperately
at the church socials than at other
times. Thus It happened that the
New Year festival of the ladles of the
Chancel guild waa enlivened hv iho
addition to the ranks of Addle's vlc-
muo ui uie latest arrival in town,
Sam Bhanlev. who had
charge of the new bridge. The town
men were inclined to resent the pres
ence of the newcomer, anil tha rant
of Brookton regarded with amusement
tneir efforts to oust the latest rival,
.a the evening nassed Addle fnnnii
tho maneuvering rather tiresome, and
she slipped away so quietly that none
saw her go. It was supposed that Bhe
had gone home, but Tim, wandering
into tne empty auditorium, saw the
gleam of white dress near the chan
cel, and In the dim light that flickered
through the ground glass partition of
the Sunday school room, ha recognized
the proud toss of the head. He would
recognize Addle anywhere, and his
heart leaped with Joy as he realized
that she bad not permitted 8hanley to
escort her home, but bad slipped away
from that eager young man and waa
here alone. Softly he made his way
toward her, but not until he spoke did
she seem to realize his presence.
"I came In here to be alone," she
explained, as she looked up. "I don't
mean that I mind you," she added,
quickly, aa Tim offered to go; "but
the boys have been horrid to Mr.
Bhanley, and I haven't been enjoying
myself a bit"
"I thought you liked to see the
boys fighting over you," suggested
Tim. "I know that when Brewster
came to town "
Addle interrupted with an Impa
tleut gesture.
"I don't want to talk about Phil
Brewster or about anyone," she said,
wearily. "I bave been sitting here
making a New Year's resolution. I
am not going to let any of the boys
pome to see me during the new year,
and if anyone dare to propose to I
me I ahan't apeak to him again. I'm
tlird of it all, Tim." .
"If n very good resolution," de
clared Tim. virtuously. "I bona that
you live up to It."
"I'm going to," declared Addle,
flrmlv. "What are vnu Innkinv a ni,i
watch for?" she added, curiously, as
rim struck a match to glance at the
dial.
"Tea minutes of 12." he announced
aa he slipped the watch back into his
pocket and ground the match under
his heel. "I was wondering bow much
more time I bad."
"Are you going to make a resolu
tion, too?" she asked.
"Not a resolution, but a last pro
posal." be exolalned. "If vou am ant
going to listen to proposals next year,
want to mass mine now, before it
IS tOO Iste. I have, not annlran ha-
cause when I see you with the othor
fellows I reallzo how little chance 1
stand, and yet uhen you tell me that
I cannot spoak for a whole year I feel
that I must tell you that I love you
mil a3U you If there Is any hope for
ne. I dou't suppose that there is."
Ha had risen to his feel sgaln, while
ne poe, end now be stood before
'ier, his pale, eager face lighted by
"he dim Illumination from' the rooms
T'tere tho festival was In progress.
As he finished tpeaking. the bell in
he. tower began to toll the knell of
ho ycr and the sonorous strokes
chocd oddly througn the empty
hurch.
"If you want me to ssy 'No,' of
onrae 1 shall try and do aa you ask"
i'gin Addle. Tim grasped her hands
mi drew her toward him.
"Ho you mean that perhaps there Is
1 different answer?" he cried, hoarse
v "Addle, do you -mean that ?"
"Don't yoa suppose that there was
OT,e reason for my not accepting the
rther proposals?" suggested the girl.
Of course, I could not ask you to
arry uie, but now that you have "
"You have had your last proposal,'
e cried. "Dear, this Is going to be
he happiest New Year for me!"
"And for me, too," agreed Addle.
