J “VOMS BUT THE BRAVE.”
Or the Way n Coward Lover AVon Ills
Sweetheart.
By PRINCE T. WOODS.
"Don't say that, Mary! You know I love
you and ”
"Now, Tom Dalton, stop right where you
are. I’ve told you often enough that I
like you. You have been my friend and
playmate ever since I was a little girl
and I will always like you as a friend.
No, sir! I won't listen to any love-mak
ing. I won't marry you, sir, and that's
the end on’t. I will marry no one hut a
brave man, and I don't love anybody, and
"But, Mary, surely I ■' ’
"There you go again, sir. If you ever
mention love to me again 1 will never
speak to you, os sure as my name Is Mary
Ha rt.”
“Oh, if you put it that way 1 11 really
have to retire, for I couldn't survive Ihe
punishment. How do you know I’m not
the brave man?”
“And I've known you ail these years
and—but I won’t have It brought up
again, and there's an end on't, sir."
"Well, well! If a woman will, she will;
and if she won't, she won't and there's
the end on't,” quoted Tom, gaily "Every
dog has his day, Mary, what do you say
to a sail down the bay?. Let's have that
mother of yours and take a run down to
Kim Island for dinner at Cobb's farm and
a bath at the short beach. It's a fine
morning for a sail, and I’ll be bound I'll
learn to swim this time."
"Tom Dalton, If there ever was—well, I
know' there wasn't. And I really began to
think you were serious, sir. But mother
never would venture out in that crazy
knockabout of yours. Wouldn't it be
jolly? I'd love to go.”
"It's all right about the knockabout. She
is high and dry for a new-coat of copper
paint. Capt. Doyle has his new schooner
Willie, and told me this morning he should
run down to Elm come flood tide. Wht
do you say, May? And—you know I was
in earnest and '*
"Say! I’m off to mamma at once," and
before he eouhl declare what he was in
earnest about, she was running swiftly up
the pier, shouting back to him: "You
naughty, boy, I'll bet you a box of choco
lates I am first at the house, sir."
Mary Hart was the only daughter of
the widow of Col. Hart of the Indian serv
ice.
The Colonel had been both soldier and
business man, and when he had been kill
ed in a jungle fight, soon after Mary's
birth, he had left his w’ldow a comfortable
income. ' A,
She had come to America and settled in
one of the quiet New England seashore
villages in a cosy cottage adjoining the
estate of Mrs. Dalton, who was an old
school friend. The young people had
grown up together and had been friends
since childhood.
Tom Dalton, a happy-go-lucky young
man. had inherited an independent income
from hie father, and now, having passed
his finals at the law school, was about to
practice his profession In Boston. He
loved Mary Hart with all his heart; but,
in spite 6f himself, he could not be serious
about his lovemaking, though bound to
win her.
And the little minx herself threw diffi
culties enough in the way by bringing him
sharply to account whenever he attempt
ed to broach the subject. She didn't pro
pose to love or be loved. And if she ever
could be so foolish it must be a brave man.
"None but the brave deserve the fair,
and you er’n't brave; you know you are
not. sir."
Flood tide found them skimming down
the bay on the natty little schooner Willie,
In a spanking breeze, Jumping at the sea
like a mettlesome horse, while Capt. Doyle
stood at the wheel extolling her virtues to
Mis. Hart. The young people were camp
ed comfortably on the deck at the wind
ward side of the mainmast.
"Great, isn't It?" said Tom. "Now,
what would you say to lobster chowder
for dinner?"
"Tom you villain! You have been plot
ting this spree with Cobb. You know I
dote on lobster chowder."
"Down there last week. Told 'em we'd
be down. Tried to get mother to come,
but she wouldn't step her foot in aything
smaller than a liner."
"And you never told? I can hardly be
lieve it. I never know when to believe
you, sir.”
"Fact! Sure enough this time, isn't it,
Capt. Doyle?"
"Fact, sure," said the skipper. "Me an’
Mr. Dalton had a bit of a run down to
Elm last Tuesday. Tight bit of weather
coming home, loo.”
"Thomas Dalton, do you mean that you
were down here In last Tuesday’s gale
and never told? And you let us think you
had been detained In Boston on business."
"Get it straight from Doyle," qouth
Tom.
The Cobbs were on the beach to welcome
them. Master Harry had hauled his pots
that morning, and there would ha lobarer
chowder for dinner at 2 o’clock. Would
they try a dip at the abort beach by the

runway between Eltrt and Elm. Jr.? They
would; that is, the young people would,
and Mrs. Hart would watch the sport from
the beach.
Once in the water, Mary's spirits seem
ed bubbling over, and she was soon dar
ing Dalton to try a race to a dory moored a
short distance from Ihe beach. He-seemed
reluctant at first, and was sure it was ioo
near the current of the runway, but to
take a dare form Mary and have her (aunt
him with lack of courage was too much
for a young man of hts temperament.
i3he was wading toward the boat, and
when but a few strokes from it,called back,
laughingly: "Will you swim for it, Tom?
If you reach It first I’ll be your prize, sir."
He was s riking out after her as soon
as the words had left her lips.
She had nearly reached the dory, and
confident of winning the race, hut her
hand up to catch the gunwale; then miss
ed it, and suddenly discovered she was out
of depth and in the runway current.
"Tom!" she cried, and then all Tom saw
was a pair of frightened upturned eyes
and terror stricken face, as she swept un
der the surface.
A fine pr dicament for a lover who was
not a brave man and who had barely
learned to swim! Drawing a deep breath,
blind to all danger, and with no thought
but to save her or die with her, Tom
struck out into the current and under the
surface.
His heart thumped wildly as he felt a
mass of that sun-gold halt- come into his
grasp, and in a moment more they rose to
the surface. Through his salt dimmed eyes
Tom saw a bit of rope and grasped It.
They had ccme up under the s ern of the
doty, which had swung into the current
with them, and lie was now firmly grip
ping a bit of painter which hung over the
stern.
In a few minutes more he had lifted
her over ihe side, clambered in after, and
was chafing her hands briskly. Mrs.
Hart’s cries from the beach had brought
the Cobbs io the some, and Master Harry
was running a dory down the beach to the
rescue.
It had all happened in a very few min
utes. Mary opened her eyes, smiled and
said: "You needn't rub all the skin off my
hands, sir.”
“Thank God! She Is all right," said
Tom. fervently.
“Tom, dear, your reached the dory first.
Kiss me. sir! You won!"
'And then Master Harry's boat grated
alongside.
NO LAWYERS IN' CHINA.
Notaries rnbllr Plead Cases—Also
Catholic Priests.
From Ihe Indianapolis Times.
There are no lawyers In China. There
are licensed notaries, who pay the manda
rin a certain amount for the privilege of
drawing up the complaints end statements
of the pqople who may have business In
the court over whkti the mandarin pre
sides. They extort heavy fees from those
whom they serve, and use their influence
with the mandarin. By a concession on
the part of the government the Catholic
priests have a rank which gives them
the right to plead a case before a man
darin. It has been said that this right was
abused to Buch an extent that the people
revolted.
"If a man did anything for whleh be
could be held." said a writer on the sub
ject, "he would go to a Catholic mission
ary and be converted. In return Ihe mis
sionary would plead his case, use his In
fluence end money with the mandarin anti
the criminal would go free. By that means
the number of converts has grown rapidly,
and the natural hatred of the Chinese to*
ward the foreigners has been Intensified.”

Copyright. 1900. by Beumas MarManus.
Once there was n widow woman, ami she
hnd one son railed Jack. Jack and h!s
mother Just owned three cows. They lived
well and happy for a long time, but nt last
hard times came down on them and the
crop* failed, and poverty looked into the
door, and things got so sore against the
poor widow that for want of money and
for want of necessities she had to make
up her mind to sell one of her cows.
"Jack,” she said one night, “go over in
the morning to the fair to sell the branny
cow.”
Well and good, in the morning my brave
Jack was up early and tdok stick In hi®
fists and turned out the cow. nnd off
to the fair ho went with her, and when
Jack eamo into the fair he saw a great
crowd gathered in a ring on the street.
Ho went into the crowd to see what they
were looking nt. nnd there in the middle
of them he saw a man with a wee, wee
harp, a mouse and hum-clock, ami a bee
to play the harp. And when ihe man put
them down to the ground and whistled,
the bee began to play the harp, tho mouse
and bum-clock stood up on their bind It gs
and got hold of each other and began to
waltz. And a© soon as the harp begun to
play the mouse and the bum-clock to
fiance, there wasn’t a man or weman or a
thing in the fair, that didn’t begin to
dance also; and the pots and pans, and
the wheels and the reels Jumped and
rigglrd all over the town, and Jack him
self and the branny cowr as bad as the
next.
There w*as never a town In such a state
before or since, and after a while the man
picked up the bee, the harp, the mouso
and hum-dock nnd put them into his
pocket, and the men and women. Ja< k and
the cow. pots and pant*, wheels and reds,
that hopped and jigged, stopped, and ev
ery one began to laugh as If to break
their heart. Then the man turned to Jack.
"Jack,” soys he. "how would you like
to he master of all them animals?”
"But,” said Jack, “I should like It
fine."
"Well, then," says the man. “how will
you and me make a bargain about them?”
"I have no money," ways Jack.
"But you have a fine cow?” says the
mnn. “I will give you the bee and harp
fox It.”
"O, but.” Jack says, says he, "my poor
mother nt home Is very sad and sorrow
ful entirely, and I have this cow to sell
and lift her heart again."
"And better than this she cannot get."
says the man. “For when she sees the
bee play the harp, she will laugh that she
never laughed In her life before.**
"Well,” says Jack, says he, "that will
be grand.”
He made the bargain. The man took
the cow nnd Jack started home with tha
bee and the harp In his pocket.and when
he came home his mother welcomed him
back.
"And Jack.” rays she, “I see yon have
sold the tow.”
"I have done that," says Jack.
"Did you make well?" says the mother.
"1 did well, and very well," says Jack.
"How much did you get for It?” says
the mother.
"O,” say? he, "It was not for money at
all I sold her, but for something far bet
ter. "
"O, Jack, Jack!” says she, "what have
you done?”
"Just wait until you see, mother,'* says
he, "and you will soon say I have done
well.”
Out of his pocket he takes the her* and
the harp and sets them on the middle of
the floor, arid whistles to them, and as
soon as he’s done tho bee began to play
tho harp, and the mother she looked at
them and let a big great laugh out of
her, and she and Jack began to dance,
the pots and pans, the wheels and reels
began to Jig and dance through the floor,
and the house Itself hopped also
When Jack picked up the bee and the
harp again the dancing all stopped, and
tho mother laughed for a long time. But
when she r*me to herself she got very
angry entirely with Jack, and she told
him that he was a silly, foolish fellow,
that thera is neither food nor money in
the house, and now he lost one of her
good cows also.
"But we must do something to Jive,"
says she. "Over to th* fair you must go
to-morrow morning and take the black
cow with you and sell her." And off in
the morning at an early hour brave Jack
started, and never halted until he was
In the fair.
When he cme into the fair he saw a
big crowd gathered In a ring in the street
Bald Jack to himself. "I wonder what are
they looking at?"

and bum-clock, and he put them down in
the street and whistled. The mouse mu I
the bum-clock stoixl up on their hind
legs ami got hold of each other and be
gan to dance there and jig, nnd ns they
did there was not n man or woman In
the treet or thing who didn’t begin to

and tho wheels nnd the reels and pots
and pans nil of them were jigging and
dancing all over the town, and the houses
themselves jumping and hopping about,
and such a place .lack nor any one else
ever saw before.
When the man lifted the mouse and
bum-clock In his pocket they all stopped
dancing and settled down, and everybody
laughed right hearty. The mnn turned
to Jack.
,c Jack," said he. “T om glad to see you;
how* would you like to have them ani
mals’"’
“1 would like well to have them," says
Jack, says he; “only I cannot.”
"Why cunoot you?” says the man.
*'o,” say® Jack, says he. “I have no
money, and my poor mother Is very
down hearted. She sent mo to tho fair
to sell this cow and bring sonic money to
lift her heart.”
“O,” says the man, say® he, “If you
want to lift your mother's heart f wl’.l
sell you the mouse, and when you set the
bee to play the harp and th** mouse to
dance to It your mother will laugh n*
she never laughed In her life before."
“Hut I have no money,” says .Tack, ways
he, ”to buy your mouse.”
”1 don't mind.” says the mnn., says he,
“I will tako the cow for It.”
Poor Jack was so taken with the mouse,
nnd had Ids mind ©<> set on It. that he
thought It was a grand bargain entirely,
and he gave the man his cow and took
the. mouse nnd started ofT for lioniC. and
when he got home his mother welcomed
him.
Jack,’’ says she, ”1 see you have sold
the cow.”
“I did that,’’ says Jiick.
"Did you sell it well?*' Hays she.
"Very well indeed,” says Jack, says
he.
"How much did you get for her?”
”1 didn't get money,” sayit he, "but I
got value.”
"O Jock! Jack!” says l\a. "what do
you mean."
"I will soon show you that, mother,”
says he. taking the mouse out of Ids
pocket and the harp* and bee and setting
ail on the floor, and when tie began to
whistle the bee began to play, and the
mouse got up on tier hind legs and began
to donee and jig. nnd I tie mother got
such a hearty laugh that she never laugh
ed In her life before. To dancing and
jigging herself nnd Jock fell, and the
pots and pans and w ties la and reels be
gan to dance and Jig through the floor,
and the house jigged also And wh*n
they were tired of this Jack lifted the
harp and the mouse and the bee and pur
them Into his pocket, and his mother she
laughed for a long time.
But when shs got over that she got very
down-hearted ami very angry entirely
with Jaek "And ft. Jack.” she save, ”vou
are a stupid, good-for-nothing fellow We
have neither money nor meat in the
house, and here you havw lost two of niv
good cows, arid I have only one left now.
To-morrow morning.” she says, "you must
be up early and take this cow to the fair
and sell her. Bee to get something to
lift my heart up.”
"/ will do that.” say* Jack, says he Bo
ha went to his bed. and early In the morn
ing he was up and turned out his spotty
cow and went to tho fair.
When Jack got to the fair he saw a
crowd gathered In a ring on the street.
”1 wonder what they are looking at. any
how.” Ha pushed through tha crowd, and
there he saw the ©arm* wee man he saw
the two days before, withs hum-clock,
and when he put tho bum-clock on the
floor he whistled, and the bum-clock be.
gari to play, and the men. women and
children In the street and Jek and the
spotty row began to dance and Jig also,
and everything on the street and about it.
the wheels and reels, pots and pans, be
gan to Jig. and the houses themselves be.
gan to danc* likewise. And when the man
lifted the bum-Hock end put It In his
pocket everybody stopped Jigging and
dancing nnd every one laughed aloud The
wee man turned and saw Jack.
"Jack, my brave boy.” says ha, "you

"O, but,' say a ’Jack, says he, "1 have no

"No matter for that." aavs the man;
"you have a row, arid that is as good a
money to me."
"Well," says Jaek, "I have a poor moth
er who Is very down-hearted at home, and
she sent me to the fair to sell this cow
and raise some money and lift her heart."
"O, but Jack.’' sivs the wor rnan. "this
bum-clock is the very thing to lift her
heart, for when you put down your harp

that you have wild the cow."
”1 did that, mother," said Jack

after awhile, when she came to herself,
and saw what Jack had done and how
they were now without further money or

along with her, to any man who would
take three laughs over her?”
"If that 1 ho.” say© Jack, Hays he, "it
is riot here I ©hall be."
Back to the house he went and gathers
together the her, the harp, the mouse and
the hum-clock, and, putting ch* m Into tils
pocket, he hade Ida mother good by, nnd
told her It wouldn't be long till she got
good news from him and off he hurries.
When lie reached the cgstle there was a
ring of spikes all around the eastle and
men © heads on nearly every spike there
"What heads Is them?” Jack asked one
of the King’s soldiers.
"Any man thut comes here trying to
win the King's daughter, and that fails
to make her laugh three time© loses tils
head and has it ©tuck on n spike. Them
are the heads that's failed once"
"A mighty big crowd." says Jack, snvs
he Then Jack sent word to tell the
Kings daughter and the King that there
was anew man who tried to come to win
her, j*
In a very little time the King and
King's daughter and King's court all ■ ame
out to sit themselves down on gold and
silver chairs In front of the c-astle and
ordered Jack to he near until he would
have his trial. Jack, before he went, took
out of hJ© pocket a bee and a harp and
mouse and a bum-clock, and be gave tin
harp to the bee, nnd he tied a string to
one and the other and took the end of the
suing himself and marched under the
castle yard before all the court with his
animals on a string behind him.
When the Queen and the King and
court sow the prince and |oor, ragged
Jack with his bee and the mouse and
bum-clock hopping behind him on a string,
they pet up one roar of laughter that was
long and loud enough, and when tho
King’s daughter berrsrlf lifted her head
nnd looked to see whnt they were laugh
ing nt, and saw Jar k and hi© parapherna
lai. she o)oned tier mouth and she let out
of tier such a laugh ns was never hear
before.
Then Jerk dropped e low oourtaay, end
siid. "Thenk you. my ledy; I have one
i>l Hie three pnrte o, you won."
Then tr* drew up his erdmels in a circle,
end be spin to whistle, end the minute he
did the bee bearen to pley the herp, and
the mouee end bum-cloe.k stood up on
their hind legs, got hold of egch other end

court snd Jerk himself begen to dance
end to Jig. end everything nlmul ’he
King's resile, pots end pens, wheels and
reel* and Ihe 'asMe Itself Ivgen In danca
also. And the King's daughter, when she
saw this, opened her mouth again, and
let oait of her a laugh twice louder than
she let before, end Jack, In the middle
of his Jigging, drops another courtesy,
end says, "Thenk you, my lady; that 1*
two of the three parts of you won.” But
Jack and hi* menageries had been play
ing and dancing. From this day Jack
could not get the three leughs out of her.
and poor Jock saw his big head In danger
of going to the spike. But the brave
mouse came to Jack's head and wheeled
round upon its heel, nnd as It did so Its
tall wwiped Into the bum-clock's mouth,
and th* bum-clock began to cough and
cough and cough. And when the King’s
daughter saw this she opened her mouth
