WHEN THE GIRLS WORE CALICO.

There was a time, betwixt the days Of linsey, woolsey, straight and prim, And these when mode, with despot w&y% Leads woman captive at its whim, Yet not a hundred years ago, When girls wore simple calico. Within the barn by lantern light, Through many a reel, with flying feet, The boys and maidens danced at night To fiddled measures, shrilly sweet, And merry revels were they, though The girls were gownetl m calico. Across the flooring rough and gray The gold of scattered chaff waß spread, And long festoons of clover hay That straggled from the loft o'er head, Swung scented fringes to and fro O'er pretty girls m calico. They used to go a-Maying then The blossoms of the spring to seek In sunny glade and sheltered glen, Unweighed by fashion's latest freak, And Robin fell m love, I know, With Phyllis m her calico. A tuck, a frill, a bias fold, A hat curved over gypsy wise, And beads of coral and of gold, And rosy cheeks and meny eyes Made lassies m that long ago Look charming m their calico. The modern knight who loves a maid Of gracious air and gentle grace. And finds her oftentimes arrayed In shining silk and priceless lace Would love her just as well, I know, In pink and lilac calico. —Hattle Whitney m Munsey's Magazine.

AN UNCONSCIOUS ALLY.

All's Fair In "War and In Love, Especially In Love.

I have always had a remarkably large number of friends of my own Eex. Lest this should lead people to give me an undue amount of credit for amiability and sweetness of disposition ! I may as well state at once that I have a marriageable brother. Being possessed also of a fair amount of brains, I was never for a moment deceived aa to the nature of the affection lavished upon me by most of my female friends. But when my dearest chum, the girl I really thought loved me for myself alone, told me she was engaged to be mar ried to my brother Fred my grief and anger knew no bounds. I had gone over to stay all night with Maud and had laid awake till 3 a. m. exchanging confidences, and all the time the sneak never said a word about Fred. At last I dropped off to sleep and was Just m the midst of a glorious dream, m which I was lead ing the cotillon with a magnificent man with soulful eyes and a bank ac count In seven figures, when Maud suddenly threw her arms about my neck, entirely shutting off my wind and scaring me almost into nervous prostration, and with a burst of tears confessed tm% she had been keeping a secret from me for two whole days and that we were to be really, truly sisters, not Just sisters m affection, as heretofore, etc. I managed to wriggle out from under Maud's arm, and then I sat up m bed and said things^ I don't remember exactly what they were, but they must have been pretty bad, for Fred didn't speak to me for a week (of course Maud had to tell him), and Maud her self went around looking like a suffer ing martyr whenever we chanced to be under the same roof. I was convinced that I waa the most miserable girl m the world after that, and the worst of It was that every body, Including Maud herself, thought that I was only mad because she was engaged first, an Imputation which I need not say was entirely unjust. I'm sure I could not see what Maud had done that was so wonderful any way. Fred is anything but brilliant, and I never considered him even good looking, while as long as mamma lives ha hasn't & penny to his name except his salary, which is by no means princely. But Maud! You'd have thought she'd landed a Vanderbilt or a poet laureate the way she acted. I pretended not to notice her airs and nursed my g^ief In proud silence, but I had no doubt that I was the most wronged and unhappy creature that ever lived until subsequent events taught me that our affairs are arrang ed by an all wise Providence m whom we may safely trust, no matter how dark our way may seem at the time. I shall never doubt the wisdom of Providence again. To begin with, I found I was likely to get a lot of amusement out of this engagement. Fred was madly Jealous of Maud all the time, though any one could see with half an eye that she was simply mad about him and m deadly fear of losing him herself. He would come home at least three times a week, pale, haggard and wild eyed, a man bereft of hope. The rest of the time he was madly Joyful and talked about Maud as if she was sev eral degrees higher than the seraphim. It was enough to make a St. Bernard dog laugh just to see him. I also found further consolation In the fact that his state of mind inter fered seriously with Fred's appetite, that I got all the extra pudding and things that had always fallen to his share (Fred was always a greedy thing), and then Perceval Jones came from abroad. Perceval was a millionaire's son, with a face too beautiful for words and a taste for Ibsen. Of course all this made him desira ble beyond most other men, but I must say the way the girls of Archerville made different kinds of fools of them selves about him was enough to dis guet even a woman's rlghtß advocate with her sex. : I need hardly say that I waa smart enough to treat Mr. Jones with mark ed coolness, The first tlmo I met hlcr my behavior seemed to puzzle tin j

pampered youth. The second time he appeared distinctly grateful. On the third he asked permission to call, and I went hope at peace with all the world, even Fred. , For five consecutive afternoons after that I sat by the tea table m the back drawing room, attired In my best gown, expecting Percevalr—ln vain. On the sixth he came. "What a delightful surprise," I said ( gushingly. I was a trifle nervous from Waiting so long. "Ah, thanks!" he remarked, looking disappointed. And then mamma came In and m ipite of my previous warnings finish ed things by treating Mr. Jones as if he were Albert Edward or Mark Han na or at least a royal duke. Mamma never could resist a millionaire. Our visitor took his leave m less than half an hour, and I knew that unless I adopted desperate measures Perceval Jones was lost to me forever. But I'm not one to give up easily, and after thinking hard thinks all night I finally hit on a plan and went to sleep at daybreak and slept till noon as sweetly and as innocently as a child. Early m the afternoon I telephoned to Maud and asked her to go with me ! out to the golf links at 4 o'clock. Then I telephoned to Fred to meet us there and proceeded to make a fetching toilet with a light heart. When wo reached the links, there was Mr. Jones (he had mentioned that he was going the- day before). v He was looking bored, as usual, but cheered up when I treated him with ; haughty coldness. I eluded his attempts at conversa- ! tion, however, and threw Maud m his way whenever I could. I was rewarded by seeing him seat himself by Maud's side and commence a disquisition on Ibsen as Fred came around the hill on his bicycle. No sooner did Fred's eye light on the couple than he commenced to glare like a madman, and *In spite of my in nocent efforts to keep him away he wound up by b^ng so outrageously rude to Mr. Jones that that gentleman was confounded, and Maud went home m tears. As for me, I went to bed happy. My plan was working to a charm. A day or two later I got mamma to ask Mr. Jones to dinner and managed to have him take Maud out. That set tled it. Fred treated Perceval m such an insulting manner that even he could hardly overlook it, and he left early, to mamma's distress and my secret joy. After that I began to meet Perceval every time I went out of the house. No matter whether I walked or drove or rode a wheel I was sure to en counter him before long, and he would escort me on my way, leaving me al ways on our return at the end of the street leading to our house. "Since your brother, who is your guardian, dislikes me so, I cannot go to your home," he would say regretful ly, and I would blush and stammer an apology. "But I must see you In spite of him," Perceval would add with a melting glance, and I would go home m the seventh heaven. At last after three weeks of this sur reptitious courtship Perceval could stand It no longer. "Be my wife, Rosamond!" he cried one day. "Never miod what they say at home. I must have you. I never knew what love was before." Poor boy, he had never known the bliss of trying for what he wanted. Before this it had always dropped Into his lap. But I couldn't trust him even then, "Oh, no!" I said timidly. "I dare not. Fred would kill you if he thought of such a thing." "Let him try," said Perceval valiant ly. "I'll have you m spite of him. See, here Is the minister on his porch, Rosa mond. Come, darling, he will give me the right to claim you from your brother." And before I knew what I was about I found myself In the minister's par lor being married m a bicycle skirt and pink cotton shirt waist. Ten minutes later I walked Into Fred's office, leaving Perceval wait ing outside, looking a little pale about the gills, but with a combative'gleam In his eye. "Fred," I remarked coolly aa I look ed my brother square m the face, "I want to thank you for what you've done for me. I'm Mrs. Perceval Jones, by your leave." Then a smile of incredulous relief spread over his face. "Gosh!" he ejaculated. "To think that the fellow actually wanted you!" —Chicago Times-Herald.

A Fowl That Won a Battle.

A singular story is told of a gallant cock whose moral influence at a criti cal moment during the battle of St. Vincent helped to save a British man of-war from the hands of the enemy. The fowl m question formed part of the live stock of the Marlborough, a vessel which had suffered so severely that her captain was considering the advisability of striking his flag. The ship was entirely dismasted, while the chief officers had been carried below severely wounded, and the crew, with out anybody to cheer them up, were beginning to grow sullen under the beavy fire of the enemy, to which they were hardly able to respond. At this emergency a shot struck the coop m which the fowls were confined; The only surviving occupant, a cock, finding himself at liberty, fluttered up and perched himself on the stump of the mainmast and surveyed the scene of carnage around him. Then, flapping his wings m defiance, he began to crow vociferously. He was answered by three hearty and exhilarating cheers from the crew, who all had a good laugh, and, with spirits thus renewed, continued the action with a vigor that lasted until ft turn m the bottle rescued ihem from their tight position.—Wash ington Star.
