SEND THEM TO BED WITH A KISS.
O mothers, so weary and discouraged.
Worn out with the cares of the day,
You often grow gross and impatient.
Complain of the noise and the play:
For the day brings so many vexations,
So many things going amiss;
But, mothers, whatever may vex you,
.Send the children to bed with u. kiss.
The dear little feet wander often,
Perhaps from the pathway of right,
The dear little hands find new mischief
To try you from morning till night.
But think of the desolate mothers
Who‘d give all the world for your bliss.
And, as thanks for your infinite blessings.
Send the chlidren to bed with a kiss!
For some day their noise will not vex you.
The silence will hurt you far more;
You will long for the sweet children voices.
For asweet childish face at the door.
And to press a child’s face to your bosom,
You‘d give all the world just for this;
For the comfort ’twill bring you in sorrOWJ
Send the children to bed with a kiss!
A MAN’S PURPOSE.
“What outrageous conduct I” exclaim-
ed Mrs. Fielding, gazing at her daugh-
ter with wide opened eyes.
“Very extraordinary I” agreed Ethel.
“I never heard of such a thing in my
life I”
“I should hope not!” returned her
mother, “what would your poor, dear
father have said if, during his lifetime
ayoung man had come to propose for
your..hand,.and onbeing refused-by- you -
had expressed his intention of staying in
the house until you accepted him? I’ve
not [even read in novels (with a fine
touch of scorn) of such a preposterous
notion. Did he—did he seem firm abou
it, my dear?” '
“Frightfully l" Ethel assured her,
“frightfully firm, and you should just
see what a chin he has! It would make
three of mine 1”
“What did you say?” asked Mrs.
Fielding. .
“What could I say? I’ve already told
you everything. I met him, as you
know, at the Merchant-Mainwarings,
and after our first introduction saw him
almost every day {during the following
month. The nightgbefore I came home
he proposed to me: and I—well, you
know what I said.
“Heithen declared his intention of ask-
ing me again every six months, and did
not seem to care in the least when I as—
sured him that my answer would be
, just the same, however many times he
would ask. Well, it is exactly six
months to-day since'jthe—the first time
that I told him thatI couldn’t think of
marrying.”
“And he expressed his intention of
staying here—in this house—till you
said ‘yes?’ put in Mrs. Fielding.” Ethel
nodded.
“Then,” was Mrs. Fielding’s decision,
“we must send for the police.”
“Oh, no—no—nol” ejaculated Ethel,
springing up, “please don’t do that.
He’s sure to go. He’s~ very gentlemanly,
mother, and I’m sure he’ll behave him-
self if he does stop. Besides if he fought
the policemen, and I’m sure he would
fight them, there would be such a scan-
dall”
“Yes, Mrs. Fielding agreed that the
affair would give Market Norbury food
for tittle [tattle for a month if the
strong arm of the law were to inter-
vene.”
“I will see the young person myself I”
exclaimed the elder person, majesti-
cally.
“Don’t be harsh, mother,” said Ethel,
blushing a little, “because, after all,
you know, he’s—” ,
“Head over heels in love with you?
Of course,” rejoined Mrs. Fielding. “Of
course he is. If he weren’t I should
suspect him of having evil designs on the
plate. Leave him to me Ethel!”
So saying, Mrs. Fielding swept mag-
nificently into the drawing room.
Twenty minutes later Mrs. Fielding
returned to her daughter.
“My reasoning had no effect what-
ever,” she informed Ethel; “none what-
ever. Isuppose he must remain. He
may he in a more sensible frame. of
mind in the morning. Don’t let the
servants know anything about the real
state of things, and say his luggage will
arrive in due course.”
The result was: (1) That Mr. Rich-
ard Waterbury gained his point. and
stayed at Pleasant View. , (2) That
only his fixed determination to win
Ethel Fielding would have led him to
take such a desperate step. (3) That
Ethel by no means deceived her ma-
ternal judgment when she expressed
herself indignantly about Dick and his
resolution.\ (She let slip his name—
"Dick”—several times unthinkingly.)
(4) That it was the general "opinion in
the kitchen that the gentleman who
had come so suddenly—without any
r'uggage—was “a man in possession.”
(5) That he seemed to the kitchen a
very well dressed man in possession.
(6) That the gentleman immediately
sat down and wrote a long letter which
was given to the housemaid to post.
(7) That be wired to another address
for some clothes. (8) That the letter
was addressed to Mr. John Blunt,
Friar’s Temple, London. And (9) that
in the opinion of the kitchen, "Friar’s
Court” sounded like a low place for
any gentleman’s friend to live in.
I Dick Waterbury had been with tho
Fieldings aweek, and still showed in
signs of departing from his resolution.
He had soon made himself at home; he
ble during the first night of his stay.
Mrs. Fielding and her daughter had
opened the ball by treating him with
rigid politeness; but Dick had pre-
tended not to notice their manner, and
rattled on so gayly that he effectually
dispersed the cold barrier which the
ladies had attempted to place between
themselves and their self-invited
guest. ~
After dinner he regaled them with
comic songs, anecdotes and news of the
day which had failed to penetrate to
the fastnesses of Market Norbury. So
very agreeable did he make himself, in-
deed, that by bediime he had quite won

play nor sing, although she could do
both very nicely. On the following day
_ his clothes arrived, and on the third
day a letter, addressed to him in a hold
masculine hand. He appeared to per-
use this letter with much intercit, and
one he wrote in reply he delivered to
the housemai with special instructions
that it was to be posted before 6 P. M..
at which hour the Market'Norbury
mail cart was despatched. The house-
maid told the cook that, for a man in
possession, the newcomer wrote a very
elegant hand. This letter, too, was ad.
dressed to that low place, Friar’s Cour
Temple. . “
So, by the time Dick had been located
at Pleasant View seven days, he was
quite on friendly—nay, intimate—terms
with the hostess and her daughter.
Every morning when he met the latter
at the breakfast table—seizing an op
' portunity, of course, when Mrs. Field-
ing was not present—he had asked,
.“Well‘?” and Ethel had shaken her head
very determinedly, and made the most
of the exceedingly diinpled chin, which
only represented one-third of Mr. Wa-
terbury’s. During the whole of that
'week Dick had never once been out.
The kitchen commented severely on
this point. It savored ‘more of the
“man in possession” than any thing else
he had done.
Seven days had gone—the seventh
night had" come, and still Ethel re-
mained obdurate. But she paid, her
mother noticed, considerable attention
to her toilet, and wore her prettiest
dresses.
What was that?
Mrs. Fielding sat up, bathed in cold
perspiration.
What was—there it was again—a
scratching on the window. She listened
—her heart beating a. wild tattoo
against her ribs. Yes—there again—
somebody was trying to break in!
Only a sliding door separated Mrs.
Fielding’s room from her daughter’s.
Her teeth chattering in time with the
wild throbbing of her pulses, she crept
out of bed, and, the sliding door being
partly open, into her daughter’s room.
Ethel was slumbering peacefully, but a
touch woke her. There was a hurried
explanation in whisper from Mrs. Field-
ing, and then the two women, clutching
each other for comfort, stole into the
outer bedroom and once more listened.
The scratching had ceased, and only a
shuffling sound could be heard. Then
there were footsteps on the gravel walk
and then the scullery window—which
was immediately beneath—was shot up
with a force that denoted a careless
haste on the part of the, midnight in~ ' I,
truder. .
“A burglar I" exclaimed Ethel, pale to
the lips, for she was an ordinary girl,
with ordinary nerves.
Unconsciously .her lips formed the
word “Dick 1”
“I’ll wake Mr. Waterbury,” said Mrs.
Fielding. She tripped swiftly out of
the room, down the passage, and rapped
at her guest’s door.
In almost _less time than it takes to.
relate it, dick found himself standing at
his door in dressing-gown and slippers,
trying to instill some calmness into the
troubled breasts of Mrs. Fielding, her
daughter, the cook, and the housemaid
—for Mrs. Fielding had roused the ser-
vants, there being comfort in numbers,
even scared ones.
“Stop here,” said Dick. “I’ll go
down. If he does not use arms I can
manage him I” .
So saying, he moved hastily down-
stairs, and the women, afraid to be left
by themselves, followed him at .a re-
spectful distance. A few moments, and
the darkness had swallowed up Dick’s
form. An anxious interval followed,
during which nothing could be heard.
Suddenly there was a crash of crock-
ery and a savage exclamation. Then
another crash, then a whole series of
crashes. The cook and housemaid
shrieked with fright. Mrs. Fielding
grasped the banisters and trembled.
Ethel trembled, too, for Dick. Yes, for
Dick. She loved him, she knew it. His
life was in peril.
A desperate fight was going on in the
passage leading to the kitchen. The
women could dimly discern the forms
of the two men, who breathing in short,
quick gasps, were struggling furiously
for the mastery. Backward and for-
ward they swayed, with clenched teeth
and straining muscles. Still the women
dared not move. The couple had fought
their way down to the extreme end of
the passage, and were close to the soul-
lery door. Suddenly a pistol shot rang
out, there was a cry, a. splintering of
wood, and a crash of glass, and the two
vanished. *
A few seconds later Dick returned,
his dressing-gown . half torn off his
back.
“‘He got away,” he exclaimed; “but
he didn't take anything. I’ll get some
things on and be off to the police sta-
tion.
The women gazed at their hero with
fond admiring eyes. Once again they
breathed freely. Slowly they moved
upstairs—all but Ethel. , ' -
Are you hurt?”'she‘ asked him, with
infinite tenderness in her voice.
“Only a bruise or two,” he replied.
"I’ll soon set the police on his track.
out first—”
He took her hand in his. '
“I said I would not leave the house,”
he began.
Ethel looked quickly up the stairs to
make sure they two were unobserved.
Then she bent forward, quickly breath-
“Yes” in his ear, and fled to her room. '
The police never caught the burglar,
who got back to the Friar’s Court quite
safely, after catching the earliest train
from a roadside station six miles from
Market Norbury.
Ethel quite meant “yes,” and in due
time was married to the “man in pos-
session,” much to the cook’s and house-
maid’s wonderment.
And Mr. John Blunt, reading the
wedding announcement, chuckled softly
to himself : ' '
“It was a good idea of Dick’s!” was
all he said—Tid Bits.__

‘ROME, Oct 12.—-—Ten days hence‘ ,th;
wedding fetes connected with the mar.
riage of the Prince of Naples and Princess
Helene of Montenegro, which are expected
to do so much for the Italian dynasty,
will begin. ‘If the bride’s father is to be
believed. the future of Princess Helene is
not to be tranquil. The last lines be ad-
dressed to his daughter on her betrothal
were these: _
“To Mine Helene:
“All is not gold that glitters Be mind-
ful, O my daughttr, and know that hap-
piness has never chosen for her seat a

crown of thorns, and not even in fable-
can we find a happy king. Seek happiness

The Italians perhaps are not speculat~
ing much on the bride’s future happiness,
but they are counting with all the enthu-
siasm of their southern nature on the pure
Montenegran blood to re-establish the
physical splendors of the house of Savoy,
whereof the Prince of Naples is an ex-
tremely unworthy specimen. With rthe
exception of a few grumblers, the mar-
riage gives satisfaction to everybody—
king, pope and people. By the alliance

the Italianity of Rome as capital of the
kingdom, and for this reason he has di-

pope is pleased at the marriage, because, .
he regards the conversion of Princess He-
lene as being of the nature of a personal
triumph. All the while the holy father
considers it another step toward the re-
union of the Roman and Greek churches.
Then, too, the choice of the crown prince
saves the Vatican from the serious em-
barrassments and political preoccupations
which would have been inevitable had the
bride been a daughter of an ancient reign-
ing family of Europe. ,
The nation is pleased for the reasons
given above and additionally because of
the national love of a fete which the royal
house has for a long time been unable to
supply. The popular fever for display is
. taking many forms, sensible and ridicu-
lous. Among many projects it has been
proposed to reconstruct the Forum, the
Coliseum and even the baths of Caracalla _.
with wood, linen or plaster and to popu-
late them with persons dressed in togas
and sandals, who are to form a triumphal
procession of “Caesar returning from sub-
duing the barbarians.” Fetes for the
populace will, hbwever, be held every-
where, and odes with and without music
have been composed in dozens all ever
Italy. Rejoic'ings and festivals will be
universal from Cape Passaro to the lakes
of Lombardy.
“’1“ Be \Vell Provided For.
Whether happy or not underthe gloomy
prophecy of Prince Nicholas, the material
side of the future awaiting the young
couple will be well lined. When parlia-
ment assembles, a grant of $100,000 per
annum will be made to the Prince of Na-
ples and a further sum to his bride. The
honeymoon will be spent in Florence, at
the Palazzo Pitti, the magnificent Meridi-
ana apartments of which have been put
in resplendent order.
There is little doubt but, the young
folks are in love with each other. Princess
Helene is a stalwart and stately brunette
with coal black hair, flashing eyes, a su-
perb figure and a stature of nearly 6 feet.
She was largely reared under the supervia
sion of the dowager empress of Russia and
at one time was favorite of the Russian
court for the position of czarina, now filled
by Princess Alix of Hesse. The crown
prince made his fiance’s acquaintance at
the coronation festivities of the czar, who,
rumor asserts, was the matchmaker for
both. Be this as it may, since the en-
gagement, daily letters and, several times,
daily telegrams have been the order, with
many presents at Short intervals. Among
these figure the betrothal bracelet, of great
value, and several rings almost priceless.
One of the rings is composed of four cir-
cles, each set with stones of different col-
ors—diamonds, sapphires, rubies and
emeralds. The four tints of these stones
combine the national colors of Italy and
Montenegro.
As the programme is at present arrang-
ed, Princess Helena will arrive at Bari
from Antlvari on Oct. 20. Next day she
will make formal profession of the Catho-
' no faith in the Latin Church of St. Nicho-
las at Bari. The formal entry into Rome
takes place on the 22d. the civil and re-
ligious marriages on the 24th. The re-
ligious rite will be celebrated] in the
Church of Santa Maria degli‘ Angeli,
which forms a part of the famous baths of
Diocletian. '
The authorities will be formally pre-
sented to the princess on Oct. 25, and on
the day followingwill take place the state
dinner to the diplomatic corps. A mili-
tary dinner andgnla performance at the,
Argentina theater. will be given Oct. 27.
There will be a grand review on the 28th,
I and the following day the bridal couple
departifor Florence.
