Newspaper Page TextHOODIRIVEB GLACIER THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 27, 1908. Three : Captain Kidd's m. Two Loves. By Cart William. Copyright, UOT. bf N. E. Dale,. Captain KIdd gave a sigh that shook his three feet four inchea of atature and looked up at Juliet Juliet, the ele phant Idol of clrcua goers, responded with a sympathetic pat that very near ly took the diminutive captain off his feet "It's too bad, Juliet," he Bald softly. "If Gretchen were here now to enjoy this, how hnppy we should be!" The captain's glance roamed over the gay crowd. It was the day of the chil dren's parade at a seaside resort and the throng of miniature men and wo men In their finery reminded Captain Kldd more than ever of bis own tiny Gretchen. Tears stole down his fur rowed cheeks, and Juliet In dumb sym pathy placed her trunk caressingly around the captain's neck. Perhaps she knew of what he was thinking. Perhaps it was only the in stinct of a dumb brute, but the captain was comforted by her caress. For fif teen years he and Juliet had traveled through the world together, and there had sprung up between them a love that until the appearance of Gretchen had been full and complete. Juliet still lavished upon her trainer the wealth of her elephantine love, but the captain had divided his heart be tween the elephant and the dainty lit tle woman whom he met In Paris Just before he had sailed for America. When the showman who paid him his salary had ordered him to go to the strange land, he had lagged Gretchen to accompnny him. She had been will ing enough, but the director of the troupe of lilliputians would not give his consent to losing one of his most valuable little players. He had hired Gretchen from her mother. When the dwarfs hnd parted In the big arena In Purls she had promised to always be true to him and had hinted that perhaps Bhe might manage to come to him some time. lie had given her his address), written on a scrap of programme, and the short, misspelled letters she had sent were tucked into the pocket of the gay uniform coat and brought comfort to him in the long nights when he lay In Juliet's JULIET HAD CArOHT HER AROUND TH1 WAIST. stall studying them out by the aid of a lantern. Exhibition midgets get little schooling, and the captain did not realize his inamorata's shortcomings since his own education was even more sadly neglected than hers. He cared nothing except that each tiny missive reiterated the "Ich lleb dlch," which bore comfort to his heart and gave him courage to face a strange land. He was at least more fortunate than Gretchen, because he had Juliet the faithful. Ills love for Juliet antedated his love for Gretchen. Fifteen years he had played in the troupe with Gretchen; there had been a long stay in Paris, and he had grown attached to Juliet the largest elephant of the herd. The proprietor, quick to see his opportuni ty, had shown the midget how to put the great beast through her few sim ple tricks. Since then the captain and Juliet had not been separated for a single day. When they traveled by rail he slept in the car. On board ship or on land he slept in her stall. The elephant quar ters were far sweeter and cleaner than some of the boarding houses at which he had been lodged, and the captain hated to be parted from Juliet even for a moment Thus there had grown up between them a love almost human in its In tensity. The owner of the menagerie had finally permitted the captain to purchase the elephant out of his slen der earnings and the tips he had re ceived. The captain had several hundred dollars saved up, but not enough to purchase Gretchen's release from her contract. In time he could manage to save up enough, so he tried to be con tent But here at the beach the sight of the children in their fancy dresses put him strongly In mind of the little troupe of which Gretchen was the star. The captain grieved and Juliet grieved in sympathy. The two of them had come down from New York that morning to take part In a circus in the evening which was to close the day's festivities. It bad been a long, tiring trip, and the tnptaln felt depressed. Even the worn letters in his pocket failed to bring him comfort and, though Juliet ca ressed him with her trunk, her efforts were of no avail, and the captiln re garded the crowd of pleasure seekers through tear blinded eyes. , Then the manager of the entertain ment came blustering up with the warning that the parade was ready to Start Juliet swung the captain up to her neck, and under the direction of his hook she moved oEt with stately tread to take her place at the head of the line. As the great mass paced along be tween the lines of eager spectators the captain no longer watched the crowd. His thoughts were far away across the water with the little madchen. Juliet proudly led the way, enjoying the st. . e she excited and glad oT the opportunity to parade. She did not need guidance wheu the way waa o plainly marked, and. rejoicing in the fact that the children along the Hue were generous with their peanuts and candy, she kept a watchful eye on the crowd. A cry of terror roused the captain from his day dreaming. Juliet waa excitedly trying to force her way through the crowd, which broke and scattered before her. Captain used the book on ears and trunk; bat though Juliet trumpeted shrilly In her pain, she obeyed neither hook nor vole. A dozen alert policemen sought to break her charge, bat they hastily dodged aside at her approach. Then a cry of horror ran through the crowd. A little girl, evidently one of the pa nders on her way to the start, stood directly In the elephant's path. One of the policemen sprang to ber rescue, but before he could reach her Juliet bad caught ber around the waist and had lifted ber high In the air. Strong men turned aside that they might not see the child dashed to earth again, while others stood fasci nated by the sight But Instead of in juring the child Juliet swung ber light ly back to the captain, who caught her in his arms with a cry of Joy. Juliet then swung her huge hulk and docilely returned to the parade with the captain still holding Gretchen with one arm, while with the other he pat ted the trunk that was held up for a sugary reward. "My Impresario died," Gretchen was explaining. "I ran away and came over In the big ship, as we bad planned. At the place where I sent your letters they told me you were here. I could not wait for your return, so I came, and Juliet saw me. I was looking for you. I knew you would be In the parade." Captain Kldd slipped another lump of sugar to the Insistent trunk. "It frightened the people much," he said with a little laugh. "But I am glad that Juliet found you. Now I have my two loves, and we three shall live together always. A man came to me the other day and said that in vaudeville we can get much more than the $ 10 they pay me now. We shall be rich and very happy, my Gretchen." 'With you and Juliet." said the lit tle woman, as she patted the upraised trunk. "I am sorry the children were frightened, but I could not wait an other minute, my Wilhelm." "Nor I," he answered simply, adding with true showman Instinct: "It will be good for the business. It has made people talk, and they will want to set the three lovers." Neglected Colds Threaten Life.
