The wonders of Our Country.

If we would cease to depend so much
upon other countries for our models of
life and thought, we would have taken
the first step toward the Americanism
which should be, but is not, ours. We
read vast amount of the wonders of
foreign lands; but very few writer's
and still fewer reliable ones-tell us of
the marvellous secrets of our own.
Every intelligent youth knows that
there are boomerang throwers in Aus
tralia; but how many are aware that
there are thousands of natives in the
United States just as expert with the
magic club as are the bush-men? All
have read of the feats of the jugglers
of India; but how many know that
there are as good Indian jugglers with
in our own boundaries? How many
young Americans could say, when some
traveller rccounted the exploits of the
"Why, yes; we have tribes of Indians
in this Gentry whose trained chtrmers
handle the 3oadliest snakes with i'm
punity," and go on to tell the facts in
the case? How many know that there
are Indians here who dwell in six-story
tenements of their own building? How
many know that Che last witch in the
United States did not go up in cruel
smoke above old Salem, but that there
is still within our borders vast do
main wherein witchcraft is fully be-
ieved in?-Charles f.. Lummis, in st.
Nicholas.

That was all.
Then he rung bell at his side and a
merr"faced boy appeared.
''Take this to the post Office" he said.
''Yes, SIR" and the boy received the
addressed letter and disappeared.
With sigh Mark Hazard again took
up the pen and wrote another painful
note, then left the Office.

air resonant with their harsh cries:

was merry hurly-burly.
Neds companion stood on tiptoe re-
garding the arrivals; he scanned them
from his vantage in inches, face by
face, and protected her from the crush
as much as h e was able.
Mark Hazard, handsome and COM
manding in presence, came out of the
station door and moved on toward
them. Ned had not got his letter--for
gotten and very much crumpled it still
remained in Jimmie Nolan's pocket
and he would be quite surprised to see
him. Then there was lively little
woman behind Mark Hazard and Just
separated from him by two very
idiotic-appearing young gentlemen of
the genus dude; a trim, polite figure
in brown travelling dress and nobby,
brown turban. She had peculiarly
sunny smile and friendly twinkle of
eye.
One of the tall-collared young men
somehow dropped his cane and the
next moment she had slid up beside
Mark Hazard, as the cane was being
recovered. Then Ned Brownell espied
Mark Hazard, and exclaimed:
''1f there isn't my chum"
And his pretty charge cried:
There's my little mother, and she is
nearly swallowed up by the crowd"
Mark Hazard looked down at his
side as musical voice greeted him:
''Io think you and have been riding
all the afternoon on the same train
and that neither knew that the other
was there" the little woman of the
brown travelling dress was rattling on.
'Why," was all he could say.
Then the little lady caught sight Of
Ned and his 0iS-d-Uis and she cried:
And there is Bee, my little daugh-
ter! knew she would be here to well
come mer'
Mark Hazard was too taken aback to
speak for moment, and he seemed
greatly puzzled as he caught sight of
Ned and Ned's companion pressing to-
ward him. The young lady with Ned
was of a striking resemblance to the
merry companion at his right, whose
tongue was going SO fast he did not
know what she was saying-something
about: "Bee being with the Lyon's;"
"Wrote you would be here too" "We
will have splendid time!" and "You
will like her because she is like her
mother"
But the truth soon dawned upon him.
This young lady with Ned was the
daughter of whom he had been told
when he first met her mother at Jack
sonville.
1t had never occurred to him that
she could be more than a schoolgirls;
but then, his sweetheart's first unhappy
marriage was very early one. And
Ned was in love with her Those
letters he wrote, where were they? he
asked himself. He jumped at the
right conclusion about that to Ned it
must-did-come to the other address
when its intended receiver was on her
happy way there.
There was a merry meeting of the
quartette, and Ned said that he never
expected that his sedate chum would
drop in on him in that slIylarkish sort
of fashion.
Mark took him into his confidence
later about the two letters he wished
to recall, but they in time, despite his
efforts, reached their destination, and

and the tam-o-shanter he invariably
wears when lounging, and his being a

can judge by his first letter, that
which caused all the trouble.
