: QUEEN FOR
A DAY
By EDITH
WYATT
Copyright' iMf. by Ldlth FFvcUt
TT1I.1E WOLFGANG was tbe
dower of her family, so that
when an uunt living In Bata-
____
via. a large manufacturing
town lu Missouri, asked that two of
her brother's children be sent to visit
her. Ottllie was the first selected for
that pleasure.
Walter, tbe noisiest and thus regard-
ed as the brightest among tbe little
stepbrothers, accompanied her at tbe
special request of the auut, who had
been charmed by bls lively habits of
strutting and squirming and of pulling
and tooting through bls fat lips.
Tbe aunt was a timid and supersti
tious German lady. Sbe could not
speak a word of English, she kept no
servants for fear of collusion wltb bur
glars, and sbe led a life of naps, of
locking windows and of making lace lu
a small, liot, one story bouse, wltb no
grass plot In front or behind, only a
little, bare back yard with a summer
bouse overgrown by a coarse, feathery
cucumber vine.
Walter played and showed off all
day wltb new found little friends next
door. Ottllie had mended all her aunt's
clothes wiieu she first came. She did
all the housework, but to her quickness
and vigor this occupied only a very
little time. Sbe longed to go out walk
ing and seeing tlie sights of tbe pave
ment, but her aunt was too fearful of
kidnapers and abductors to permit of
this. She tried to read “Nathan der
Weise,” tbe ouly book In the house,
but this was more of a task to her than
a pleasure, so sbe used to sit In tbe
summer house, with her book opeu In
her lap, and watch tbe backs of tbe
rows of houses on the next street.
This street was much more preten
tious than tbe one where her aunt
lived, and few of its people seemed to
stay In the backs of their bouses. Oue
room, however, was frequented in the
morning by a thin, dark young man,
with a low collar and a pulling head of
hair, who used sometimes to sit In his
window and read excitedly and some
times to practice on tbe flute.
He had a piano, and occasionally he
would amuse himself by picking out
popular airs on Its keys wltb one fin
ger.
When be did this Ottllie always ac
companied him softly with her voice.
He spent some endeavor on "Die
Lorelei." He did not know it all, and
when be had come to tbe end of bis
memory he would wait for a moment
and tlqlsh conventionally.
Once he waited for several rests, and
Ottllie’s voice was left rising conspicu
ously alone. Tbe young man evidently
heard it. for he played correctly as far
as Ottllie had sung and then waited.
Ottllie sang to the end of the song.
The young man followed her as far as
he caught the notes and then wuited
again. Ottllie sang again, and by
grees the young man learn<>d all
song.
When lie kiail finished he came to

back yard, but the cucumber vines pre
vented him from seeing In the summer
house anything but tbe light folds of
Ottllie’s fresh pink gingham dress.

When the afternoon of the tournu

mourning for best. Walter was ex
tremely dapper In a frill skirt, a richly

blooming rose.
The aunt started them very early, so
that they might have good seats, and

lief ensuing after her perilous passage
of tbe crowded corners and tbe street
crossings tbe aunt answered Walter's
questions about the tilting with more
than her ordinary coherence and calm.
Sbe said that young men dressed as
knights rode around tbe circuit carry
ing long poles. As they trotted past
they tried to catch on them the rings
hanging from a horlaontal bar at one
side of tbe circuit.
Whoever got tbe most rings on bls
pole received a wreath of roses, and
with this be crowned her be chose as
queen of tbe Revels.
Ottllie turned to watch tbe knights as
they rode in. There were perhaps twen
ty of them, all young, picturesquely
dressed and decently mounted with the
air rather of masqueraders than of
knights.
Among these was a young man wltb
a heavy plume, dressed In black vel
vet costume, rather too large, and rid
ing a stout gray cob, evidently a car
riage horse.
Some one behind tbe Wolfgangs re
marked that she guessed that man In
black velvet wouldn’t have to choose
any queen, and her comment attracted
Ottllie’s attention to blui. Slie nearly

Bhaer. Ottllie was breathless with sus
pense and exhilaration when he trotted
by and tilted bls pole, and when he got
six rings more than anybody else and
was loudly applauded sbe could hardly
lift her eyes from pride.
As be rode around tbe ring in tbe sec
ond turn, for all the knights bad three
turns, be continually cast searching
glances among tbe audience.
Walter waved his cane jubilantly in
the air. It arrested the young man's
attention, and his glance fell on Ot

or even to meet his happy look of ad
miration. Sbe glanced radiantly away,
