: Captain Kidd's
m.
Two Loves.

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

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."
