I ABOUT A MINX. $ gi m ISS BETTY MAYNE had been back In Llndenthorpe for a ' week, and for a week Linden- thorpc bad been shocked. Miss Mayne felt hurt. When she returned she had been homesick for the sea and the sea board folks, left behind when her aunt carried her up to London years before, and friendliness was In ber heart to ward them. Instead of receiving the same, she had been, met with envy and Jealousy and all uncharltableness. Part ly it was her fault, partly theirs. They only remembered ber as the Imp and scapegoat of the village, who played on the rocks nil duy long with bare feet, and they resented her grown-up fashlonablllty. She could not help re alizing that she was better dressed, knew more of the world, and was In many ways a hundred years ahead of Llndentliorpc. It was Sunday that the shock of shocks occurred. To begin with, sever al minutes after service had begun Miss Betty Mayne walked In almost strolled In as cool as a cucumber and clad In the most outrageously One dress, and stood In the entrance (Instead of mod estly finding herself a seat) poking away at the stones with a green par asol until Mr. Atteuborough, who was church warden the youngest church warden Llndenthorpe had ever had rose In bis Sunday best to show her to a place. People were more disgusted than sur prised when Miss Mayne, after fan nlng herself ostentatiously for some time, rose and stalked out of church by the front door. Such behavior was to be expected from a Minx. It was what' followed that left Llndenthorpe resigned to anything short of an earth quake. Miss Mayne wandered down toward the beach In a pensive mood and took a seat on a bit of sandstone, She was a pretty sight In blue and gold whatever Miss Griggs' opinion might be A church warden Is at lib erty to differ from a Sunday school mis tress on a question like this, and Silas Attenborough, bb be walked from church down to the sea and saw the Minx on ber rock, differed In toto from Miss Griggs. He felt a desire to rebuke the Minx for ber conduct In church that morning, but was It wise to ven ture onto the rocks? He was In his Sunday clothes and not very sure of foot among slippery seaweeds. Never theless, his sense of duty being strong, Mr. Attenborough crossed the rublcon, and at length reached the sandstone rock. The Minx nodded to him. "1 saw you in church this morning," she said. "I zee you," said Mr. Attenborough, gravely. "It was very funny," she went on "The very first thing I noticed was a chalk mark on your coat from leaning against the pillars and I do believe you've got It on still." This was hardly the conversation Mr. Attenborough had pictured to himself, and he rubbed the chalk away before replying. "It seemed you left the church avore the sermon?" "Dreadfully ventilated, Isn't It?" she said, nodding. "I really wonder people ilnn't iflt MiifTnrated Rometlmes." ; "It's agreeable by t' sea here avore dinner," he remarked. "The same as ever," she said. "All Llndenthorpe's tbo same as over the sea and the village and the folks. They might have slept and never waked since the day I left seven years ago. Oh!" she roused herself to sudden ani mation "but I'd like to shock thorn!" " "Shock 'em?" said Mr. Attenborough aghast. "Shock you all because I detest peo ple who can be shocked. And If I knew for certain that ! detested Linden thorpe I'd be content to leave It and never see It ncnlu." She Bank back against the rock. "Would you now?" said Mr. Atton borough, astonished. She nodded. "It's quite true," she said. "I doan't think I'm casy't shock," he said guardedly. "Perhaps you're right," she said "But," she pointed a finger toward the shore, "Is that Miss Griggs over there?" He followed the direction of her tin ger and saw that most of the congre gatlon were assembled In groups about the shore. " 'TIs Indeed," he groaned, "an' Mrs Griffin and t' whole Sunday school watching us. I think that we shud be getting back." 'Don't let me keep you," she said. 'It Is not keeping me. 'Tis only" be looked about him for an excuse. "Zip me! T' sea " "What do you mean?" "T' sea!" said Mr. Attenborough. It's coom up " She sprang to her feet in great Indig nation. "This comes of your talking. Why couldn't you keep your eyes open what Is to be done?" "Could yew wade?" suggested Mr. Attenborough apologetically. He knew nothing of the rocks and what depths cut him off from the shore. Only be remembered that In old days the Imp of the village knew every Inch "Wade? In my best things?" Her scornful tone made him feel more at fault than ever. "P'r'aps they'll send us a boat," he said. "After we're drowned?" "P'r'aps I could take yew over to th' shore." "See how deep It Is first," she said. Imperiously. He let himself down gingerly, and the water closed over the knees of his best trousers. "Think yew would lolke to be car ried?" he asked dolefully, stretching out his arms for her to hurry. But she kept him there while she struggled to bide her laughter, and then said threateningly: "If you drop me I shall never forgive you " "And If I doan't drop yew?" said he. "Llndenthorpe never will " "Coom!" he said. And at that she let him take ber Into bis arms. The folks of Llndenthorpe on the beach were taking much Interest in the proceed' lngs. "The Minx!" said Miss Griggs "did you ever?" The church warden was splashing through pools of water, regardless of bis appearance, and only careful to protect the affected burden In bis arms. Most of Llndenthorpe was assembled on the shingle when he .reached the unlnvadcd sand. Miss Betty Mayne made no motion of de scent "Shall I set yew down here?" he asked. "No," she said, "It's damp I should wet my shoes. Carry me right up to the shingle." He breathed deep, not because of her weight, which was nothing, but be cause of the publicity of the thing. "Whom be I carrying?" he asked. "Be I carrying ma sweetheart?" "If you will," she said, stormed by bis unexpected boldness. He put her down In the middle of the assembled folks, some of whom feigned to be watching tbe sea. Miss Griggs hap pened to be tbe nearest, and she shook ber head archly at tbe church warden. "I'm shocked," she said. "We're all shocked, Mr. Attenborough." "Are yew?" said he. "I'm I'm sweetheart ed." mutunlly Impressed, and so strongly that the Queen would hear of no other suitor. She pleaded "a cold" us ex cuse for not attending a dinner where she was to pass In review n number of aspirants. The Queen mother, seeing this, prudently curtailed the visit to Berlin. Inquiries were In due course set on foot about Prince Henry. All tho reports received about him were favorable, and the Queen arranged to have opportunities to becomo better ac quainted with him. Instead of coming to the Exposition, she planned an ex cursion to Sehwarzburg. Booms were taken at nn hotel In a picturesque site Colonel Cbrlsmau ror me gueen, uer mouier anu me uow nger Duchess, who was asked to be their guest. Prince Henry was not disinclined to tall In with the little plan. He obtained a furlough to come to sec his mother. He got up excursions to the show places in the principality, and accom panied the two queens In their walks, rides and drives. She was supremely happy In his company, and was sorry when it was time for the party to break up. As sho was leaving, she said to the Prince: "What a happy tour! I never spent such a happy time In my life, and I feel I owe so much to you." Correspondence followed, and one line morning the Prime Minister was sum moned by the Queen to ioo. She lost no time In Informing him that she was engaged, and to whom. She said sho hoped Uie Council would give Its con sent to the marriage she had decided upon. The Prince of Mecklenburg be longed to the oldest house In Germany, Its International situation was high, It played no part In European politics, Prince Henry could play no part In German politics, bis career had been highly honorable, and he wns beloved In his own family circle. "When you see him," added the Queen, "you will, I am sure, be of tbe opinion that I could not make a better choice, whether for myself or my people." In striking contrast to tho exciting . .1 I I.

STRUCK TERROR TO LIONS. WILHELMINA'S WOOINQ. How the Queen of Holland Met and Won Her Fiance, Some Interesting particulars of Queen Wilhelmlna's courtship and betrothal aro supplied by the Paris correspond ent of the London News. Although the Queen of the Netherlands made the ac quaintance of the Grand Ducal family at Cannes, sho did not, it appears, see her betrothed till she went last year to Berlin. She had heard a good deal about him from his sUter-In-law, the Princess John, nee Snxe-Welmar, and daughter of tho late Princess Puuliue of the Netherlands, Duchess of Saxe Welmar.

The show people dread a timid lion, tiger or leopard not only because In Its panic it la likely to Injure tbe trainer, but because it is unreliable and may take fright nnd spoil a performance nt any moment from the slightest causes. An incident at the Porte St. Martin Theater In Paris has become port of the annals of the show business. The chief feature of the exhibition was a "turn" consisting of tbo casting of a young woman, securely bound, Into a cage of lions, heralded as being the fiercest and most bloodtbristy of maneaters. Unfortunntely tbe woman who had the "thinking" part of the victim was taken 111 and a substitute was found In the wife of one of the trainers, herself a trainer of some exiierlence, but with out any acquaintance with these par ticular six Hons the old fiddle roar.
