The Sick.

Geo. Grants child is still very low
with scarlet fever, but the Doctor
thinks there is chance for it's re-
covery. Mr.. Mayhugh's children are
better and are considered out OF all
danger. M. w. Biggs' little boy was
quite sick last night but was much
better this morning, and it is thought
that the fever is broken and his re-
covery assured. So far as we know
there are no other serious cases in
town.

approach with strange, spell-bound
wonder in their gaze.
What could it mean? She seemed
to float toward them instead of walk

tie space before the tent and illumined
the white lady as she came on. Breath

How They Dance on TiDtoe.

There is popular impression that
ballet dancers have the soles of their
shoes made stiff, so as to enable them
to dance about on their toes.
THAT is nonsense" and Miss Qualitz

Of her dancing-shoes to illustrate.
"You can't stand up this way with
your ordinary shoes on" and the pre-
miere gracefully mounted her toes and
viewed the reporters three-dollar foot
wear with extreme disgust.
"A stiff sole in shoe would not
help, but absolutely prevent, dancing.
And, besides, the strain is not on the
toe, but it comes on the rear of the an

Dimly through the gloom of the
gorge they followed their odd guide.
rom what danger unseen was she con-

ask themselves, but kept on.
She might be leading them into a

the mystery they never gave that fear
thought.
On and on she led them. Over hard,
uneven, rocky paths, over dangerous
chasms where a single misstep would
have proved certain death, and on into
the dark mountains they went.
At last the ghostly guide stopped
under large, ehelving crag that jutted
out over a considerable space Of the
gorge below. The pine trees of funereal
darkness sighed and ,noaned, like lost
spirits: in the mountain wind. Wild,
dreamy and lonesome the spot was.
Earnest and Willard came also to halt.

Under cover of the night and the

near tho cave. Dimly. as they peered
