beautiful place, where everybody was

beautiful place, where everybody was
happy.
Nevertheless, she often wished Billy
would come back-wished it more and
more as the days went on; somehow, every
thing seemed to be going from bad to
worse; everything went wrong since Billy's
death. Often she couldn't sing, no mat
| ter how she tried, she had such dreadful
cough. She couldn't walk very far, either,
without getting dreadful tired, and her
head ached and burned at night
| Granny drank more gin than ever. and
was, in consequence, crosser than ever. If
Billy were only back, perhaps-and an
idea struck her all at once. He might
come back if he knew all about it.
| One afternoon she set out for the ceme-
terry where he was buried 1t was long,
long way off, and she had to rest great
many times; so that when she reached it
darkness was already setting in. She
knew quite well whereabout Billy's grave
was; it was near an angle OF the high wall,
and just beside it there was big, dark
tree, with pink, waxen looking berries on
it.
Billy" she whispered softly, sitting
down on the rank grass beside the little
mound and placing her lips close to the
earth; "Billy, darling, l want to tell you
something" She listened, but there was
no answer. ooh, Billy, l want you to
come back-Tm so lonely"
Again no answer.
1t was nearly quite dark, and Mary be-
gan to feel afraid, for there were no lamps
like there were in the streets.
cts getting dark, Billy, and we won't
) be able to find our way home if you don't
come quick"
Still there came no answer.
| Great tears gathered in Marys eyes. 81
wonder if heavens so very far down that
he can't hear me?" she thought. at
didn't look far the day he went"
The clergyman's words came back to
her. Billy had "gone to heaven to sing
all day long," he had said. If Billy was
singing he might not be able to hear. She
put her ear to the ground and listened, but
in vain. perhaps he doesn't know it's
me. / know what Pll do-I'll sing. and
he'll be sure to know it's me that's sing
ing"
She stood up, and gathered all her
strength to sing so that he would hear and
recognize her. Through the evening still
ness the childish voice rang out, clear and
sweet as an angels:
"Home, sweet home-there's no place
like homer
She broke off suddenly.
"He hears mew she cried in delight.
"He's singing it along with me, like he
used to do"
| She continued her song, and that other
mystic voice repeated the words after her.
A great rapture filled all her soul because
she was so near to Billy-why, he must be
close at hand. 1t wasn't SO dark, either
they must be lighting lamps somewhere.
In another minute, if the light went on
increasing at this rate she would be able
to see him.
AS she neared the close of her song,
Mary slipped down ON her knees, that she
might be closer to Billy. Lighter and
lighter it became, and his voice was still
there. Her own grew faint and yet
fainter.
There's no place-like-home,
Her head sank on the mound, and the
echo died away with the last word-home.
Mary had reached home fairer than any

Mount Tacoma.

By the new measurement the famous
Mount Popocatepetl, of Mexico, supposed
to be one of the highest mountains in the
world, is not quite SO high as Mount
Tacoma, the marvellous mountain that
towers three miles into the air within
sight of the city of Tacoma, on Puget
Sound. From the city Mount Tacoma is
SO grand and so vivid in every feature that
it seems to be almost within rife shot.
'How far off is the mountain ?" stranger
was asked one evening when the sunset
flush REDEEMED the lovely peak of eternal
snow. at is farther than it appears,
suppose" was the answer; "but it is not
more than two miles away" The mount
ain was sixty miles distant in an air line.

The Farmers Confidence.

They had opened bank at Medina,

the history of the town, and one day after
it was in good running order Farmer Adj

of the building, looked to see if the crock
of butter and basket of eggs were safe, and
then entered the building. He was we'll
known to all of the officials, and each had
a word for him as he entered. He looked
around hip in wonder, and then addressed
himself to the President.

Que of the regular drivers of a K-sireet
bobtail was breaking in a new man the
other day.
He showed him how to twist switches
ION the run;" how to make quick stops
and canse CONSERVATION among the passen-
gers; how to make starts that would land
half of the passengers through the door
into the street; how to let a Chinaman
alight from the car on his neck-and in
fact ali the accomplishments necessary for
first-class car-driver.
They were coming up from the depot on
the third trip and the new man held the
reins. block ahead of them stood a lady
in the middle of the street. As the car
neared her the new driver began to wind
up the brake.
go on" said the old driver taking the
brake handle from his pupils hands, and
unwinding it; 'she doesn't want tn ride
She's only waiting for the car to go BY"
Sure enough, as soon as the car passed
the lady stepped across the track and went
on up the street.
A block ahead of this point stood another
iduy III tue mluule OF the street. The new
driver was going to drive by her, when the
teacher again interfered.
Stop the car, she wants to get on.n be
said.
The new man looked bewildered. After
the lady had gotten aboard, he turned to
his teacher and said How in thunder is
man going to know when a woman
wants to ride. Now both of those women
acted alike; both stood in the street appa-
| rently waiting for the car--but still one OF
them didn't want to ride and the other
| did. How do you know what they wani?''
The old driver chuckled merrily. "That's
one OF the tricks of the trade It took me
some time to learn it, but don't mind tell.
| Ing you. You must never pay any atten.

street and car is one or two blocks away
she will wait until it goes by-but at the
same time she will stand there in the mid.

down by other vehicles. Now when YOU
want to know if they do want to get aboard
just glance at her mouth. If she has a

Not until Mary had seen him laid in a
tiny grave two days later did she realize
how lonely she was without Billy. She
had nobody now in all the big world to
care for-nobody to care for her. "Gran-
ny" was not her granny at all; but only
an old woman she and Billy had lived
with ever since their mother died. Mary
remembered her mother quite well, and
she often cried because she was dead, vet
she missed Billy far more than she had
ever missed her mother. When her mother
died there was Billy left-now Billy was
gone, and there was nobody. "Billy wasn't
no use" granny had said. That was true.
in sense. He didn't make money like
Mary, for he couldn't sing unless she was
with him, and, even then, very badly.
But, oh, how much use he was to the poor,
lonely little sister, no one but she could
know.
Just to feel his small fingers in her own
made her remember that she had someone
to live for that she must sing well, that
Billy might get a bit of supper. Now she
had to go out all alone, and stand by the
side of the footpath and listen to the ieers
OF the passers-by, and there was nobody to
comfort her by being there beside her.
For many and many day after he died
she could scarcely sing note She could
only sit by railing and cry, and then
granny was SO angry when she came home
without money, and beat her worse than
she had ever done before. The only thing
that reconciled Mary to Billy's absence
was the thought that he was out of the
reach of granny's treatment. She won
dered if he got beaten in heaven. The
clergyman in the cemetery had told her
that heaven was the name of the place
Billy had gone to, and that there he would
sing all day long. Would he be able to
sing without her-and would he get beaten
if he couldn't? Perhaps not; for some
one had once told her that heaven was a
