he had no such intention she accepted
eagerly enough. And then the gentleman
took Alice by the hand and led her away,

In two-wheeled huckster's cart, which
had been disabled and deserted. stood a
little girl about nine years old. She had

but apparently the little girl thought she
was dressed up.
She had washed her face back rs tar as

very pretty. Her skin was q clear olive.
Her eyes were big and bright and brown.
Her hair was almost the color of mahog-

down below her waist.
She wore no stockings, but on her feet
was pair Of blue satin boots, with tassels
at the top, and little pointed heels, such

She was standing with her head thrown

across her chest, singing with all her
might. Around her we're grouped about

not Rpprecihtive listeners, were very en-

Prof. Hale was man who dared. He
proved that when he first took charge OF
Alice.
At last il was time for her to appear.
She came forward almost rs timidly as
she first entered the great house on Fifty
ninth street in New YORK.
The hundreds of people. the dazzling
lights. the sudden burst Of applause and
the hush OF expectation which followed
it were all so confusing that Alice was
bewildered.
Her first impulse was to turn and run,
but then she remembered what Prof.
Hale had said to her:

triumph OF my life tonight. You must

"Oh, won't !, just !" exclaimed Alice,

When Alice came forward the second
time she found herself confronted by n
barricade of roses, which her enthusiastic
audience had piled in front of the foot

She hadn't thought of the old song for
years. But it came to hGr now, and with

1 MEEK LITTLE EDITOR.
His Peculiar Experience with
Huge African Lion,
From the Butt He Became the Ter
ror OF His Town.

Bradsley was editor and proprietor OF a
small country newspaper published In a
hilly district OF southern Kentucky. He twas
meek little man, with large ears and large
eyes that bespoke the patience OF COW. In
the community OF Gray's Point he was sort
OF father confessor, In that TO him were
brought all sorts OF complaints and schemes
OF revenge. Honest people who at least once
week made public profession OF love for
their fellow-man, would steal up the rickety
stairway leading to Bradsley's ONCE and
whisper against q neighbor the insinuating
words OF scandal. Bradsley's weakness was
his desire to please everybody not at once
| for he knew that to be an impossibility, but
| to give each one his turn. He had personal
grudge against no man, and yet no man
| in the county had so many enemies as
he. The Graysons had so Influenced him
that he gave the Taylors rar
In his newspaper, the Banner oj
Freedom, and after that the Taylors hated
him. Then the whitsons, not so influential
as persuasive, induced him TO slam the
Grapsons, which, OF course, made them, re-
gardless OF the favors which he had formerly
shown them, his sworn enemies for life. II
was thousand wonders, people said, that
| some one did not Kill Bradsley, and It was
really marvel; still, he was too meek a
little man. 1t was doubtless his meekness
that saved him. At q time OF anger we are
more strongly tempted to shoot a big man
than little one, for we content ourselves
with merely Slapping the little fellow.
Bradsley did not escape the slapping. Bless

available foot OF Gray's Point

the man pointed towards the hies, which
were now a mass of flame.
"Why did you let her go in there"
She thought you we're there and she
went to save you." was the answer.
The Professor, before the other could
prevent him, sprang in after her.
An instant later he dragged her out on
the stage. Streams of water began to play
over the flames, and soon the two men
were able to make their way out to the
street. carrying Alice between them.
In spite of the long cloak the fire had
dealt cruelty with her. For several min
utes she showed no sign of life. Then
she opened her eyes and made an effort to
lit her head.
