'Tim boy and the girl met In Bunday
pcltool. Mis waa eti-ratlicr old fur
her yeara; be waa twelve.
They wore aelwted to "speak
piece" together, a funny III 1 lo thing lo
whMi aha held ber bands behind ber
while La guessed what she held. Ho
repeatedly failed to guess. Thru alia
would urge him to gut again. Final
I, loalng all patleuoe, aha would cry,
"Oh, you groat, big, atupld boy-I've
Jual got klaa for you." Thou, throw
ing hlui a augury cake, alia would run
off.
Hoon after tha dialogue episode hla
mother sent her aa Invitation to U)a
boa birthday party, r'lllod with
lrtd. aha exhibit! tha tiny note, with
I la pleturee of blrda at tha top.
At tha party aha bad a aplendld
time, rirat, each of tha little glrla
waa given a pair of ribbon r'loa with
which aba niuet catch a home and trot
blm paat tha grand atand. whera tha
Judges aat ainlllngly la armchair. Tha
girl cangbt her "great, big, atupld
boy" and waa happy.
After that man In a long black
roba did wonderful trlrka and tha chil
dren's eyea grew wlda with wonder.
Then, audi a anpier-boulIlon and
turkey and chicken aalad, each In
turn. Ilka real grownupa!, Aud ollvesl
"Wbafa them tlilugar Baked tha
boy, when ba discovered tha olives.
"Look Ilka ecaiia."
"Ob, you grent, big, atupld boy, don't
you know ollvesT tha girl retorted
acornfully.
"Yea, but I wanted to aee If you did,
girlie," he answered.
The little girl turned and looked at
blin. "Why do you rail ma that?' aha
asked.
"Why do you call ma 'atupld boyf"
lia returned.
"Heauw thnt pleea anld so," aho re
idled, Iht blue eyea smiling Into hla.
"Don't you like Itr
"I- I don't mliid-froin you," ba said.
"Hut you haven't told 111 a why you
call me girlie," peralated tha girl.
"Well, because-because I Ilka you,
and that'a what t'nrle Jark ralta Ulna
rataraon. I heard blin aay 'I ran call
you girlie when folka ara round, but
when wa'ra aloue I will call you ewect
heart.' "
"Sweetheart." the llttla girl our
mured. "Papa ralta mamma that
sometimes. Kouuda pretty, don't It?
lia must tova her lota. I toes be?"
"No more than I lova you," ba aa
erted proudly, playing with her curia.
"Her hair Isn't half aa pretty and aha
hain't got auch big blue eyea. Mamma
aaya you look like an angel, ao there!"
ha blurtetl out, half ashamed of having
voiced hla admiration.
"I don't want to ba an angel," aha
retorted decisively. Hut after aba got
home aha derided that aha llkod the
boy better than ever.
Tha children were frlenda for two
yeara. Then business reverses came to
Mr. Ilurlburt, tho Itttlo glrl'a father.
and they weut abroad to live.
"You'll alwaya lie my sweetheart,
girlie." the toy anld to bla little girl
friend when aha left. "And I'm going
to marry you when I grow up. Don't
forget me."
And alio, understanding llttla of bla
meaning, aald, "I won't." Then aba
lifted her fare for hla farewell klaa.
And the boy remembered, and bla
mother eucournged the thought of
"girlie." Hlie knew thnt tho memory
of tho cblld'a sweetness and Inuorence
was good for her boy.

Jimt got-a klaa fur you." Mie beai-
tuted slightly over the lust aeuteuce,
blushing prettily.
The half ronm-lous love Worthliigton
had felt for her alwaya flumed Into
life. Looking up, ahe eatight the ex

her white aud frightened looking.
"(Jlrlle," be anld softly, "your mem

"You-you must n't rail me that
now." ahe aald. "I fa different"
"Different? How?"
"Oh" and ber voice waa almost a
aob "don't you aee, you great, big,
atupld boy?" The words bad come
back to ber. "It wouldn't be proer;
I'm engaged." And ahe extended ber
band to him with the circlet of dia
monds. After minute, when Worthlngton
bad swallowed aome bard things that
rune In bla throat, ha aald, half ques-
tlonlngly:
"You-you are happy?"
Rhe glanced at blm shyly from under
her long laahea. The band which wore

ahe aald. "I am doing my duty. Isn't
that the anrest road to bapploesa?"
The wlatfnlneaa of ber appeal made
blm bold. "Then you do not love the
man?" he asked.
"Oh, no." aim aald abruptly. The re
ply had eacaM-d before ahe realized It.
It bad been taken ao much for granted

broke through the cloud which Worth

"Miss Ilurlburt," be wblepered eager

He atood back to watch the effect It
produced. Wonder, delight, sorrow,
resignation, followed each other In
quick aucccaalon. Then ahe looked
blm squarely In tha eyea, telling blm
more plainly than worda that aha un
derstood. "I am glad you are here," ahe aald,
hol'ng out her hand to him. "It was
nice to aee you again. I must go now."
"Put-I may aee your
"Robert Worthlngton la welcome,"
ahe aald, and waa gone.
Worthlngton aaw the girl occasional
ly, but It waa only a abort time until
he learned that ahe would never break
a plighted troth. And yet yea, he felt
that ber heart waa allpplng Into hla
keeping. At last for both their aakea,
he remained away from her.
One morning, when he waa finding It
particularly difficult to keep hla reso
lution, a paragraph In the foreign
newa caught bla eye. "Count Leonardl
ltlnaldi, charge d'affaires of tha lega
tion at N., died auddenly tbla morning.
Hla engagement to Mlea Dorothy Ilurl

recently announced"
He read no further, but took tha
paper to hla mother, bla heart beating
wildly, hla eyea glowing with the light
of love.
"Mother," ho cried, look! C'-He la
free, and now the 'great, big, atupld

rVOMEN MUST KNEEL TO MEN
la tha Law Amoas Maar Trlfcaa ml
Kaal Central Africa.
Men III Africa, and exjierlally In east
central Africa, believe that their worn
eu are their Inferiors, aud many cen
turies ago, aaya the Chicago Trib
une, they made a law that haa worn it
self Into a custom that womeu must
acknowledge thla by alwaya kneeling
when they meet a man.
Duff Mardouald, who spent many
yeara aa a missionary In that country,
aaya that African women bold a moat
degraded position and are looked upon
pretty generally aa beasts of burden
capable of doing all tha bard work.
When a woman meets any man, be II
her husband or a atranger, at home or
on the road abe Is expected to "taldl-
wa la" that la, to kneel and clap ber
bands to tha lord of creation aa ba
paaaes. Although a woman may have
alavea of ber own, she observes this
custom whenever she meets them 00
the highway.
Mardouald adds: "Whenever we aaw
a woman go out of her way with the
Intention of kneeling before ua, though
abe carried a hundredweight on ber
head, knowing that ahe would have to
get up with It we shouted. 'You are
loalng your way; thla la the path,' and
ahe took It glad that abe might dis
pense with this custom."
Certain It la that If tho African wo
man kneels before a atranger or alave
ahe prostrates herself moat humbly be
fore her husband, her lord and master.
He la her father, and abe Is bla child;
he commands, and abe obeys; bo may
Inflict punishment and ahe accepts It
The title of "father" la given to all
old people. A man of thirty will aay,
"I mil only a child; ask the old man."
Tho woman must submit of course.
fthe Is her husband's chattel; be has
iKxight her for two skins of bucks,
and tills Is a fair price for one wife.
He often gets them lu payment for
debta.
If a girl la not a first wife she counts
for little, as these Africans usually
have one chief wife and three or four
minor wives. A man who la married a
few yeara la exected to have Junior
wives. The chief wife haa the auper-
Intendence of the otbera and looks
after the household. The punishment
she Infllcta for lailness la to banish the
Junior wife from her meala until hun
ger bring her to her. senses. If a
Junior wife la obatreperoua ahe Is put
In a alave stock.
The authority of a chief wife la not
a matter to Jest with. If a Junior wife
geta unruly tha whipping poet la made
use of. Thla does not annoy her lord,
for African men have llttla aentlment
for their wlvea and feel none for their
Junior wlvea. They are bla chattels,
having tbe aame value aa hla cattle,
perhaps less. When a man Is pressed
for money he usually sella bla wife and
not his cattle. He expecta them to cul
tivate tbe aoll and cut down the trees,
and when he Onda time or haa tha In
clination he helpa them.
