CHAPTER XII.
The FOrtune-TeIIer.

Turning our attention to the distant
hilltop, we find the lonely woman slowly
treading her journey along a more lone
ly road, a road scarcely wide enough
for a wagon, winding its serpent-like
way along through the low brushes, be-
meath the boughs of the oVerhanging
trees, now down the side of a slipping
hill, now across a deep ravine, now
threading it's course between some little
mountain streams, and again taking it's
direction toward some distant height to
pass over the ridge into another valley
where the same scenes are repeated
Scarcely a house was seen along this
lonely road. When on the hilltop the
view was enjoyed by the lover of ma
ture. Upon either side were steep, slop-
ing banks, rocky declivitieS dark, fore
bOding gullies, sometimes a mountain
GERS cabin hung to the hillside like
rustic pocket nailed to the wall Across
to the opposite hill, If not too steep, a
cleared field resembled a gray patch on
a green garment, with a primitive ca bin
and a straw matched stable, for quaint
looking buttons. Still farther away the
deep valley darkened into gloom and
the distant hilltops melted into gold or
blue beneath the sky or sun. The wild
birds kept the lonely traveller company
with their cheerful, lonesome songs.
If the reader has ever observed the
songs of the wild birds, he has doubt
less detected lonely, melancholy sweet
ness in their notes, suggestive of the
probable fact that their songs are al
ways for one or two purposes, calling
an absent mate or cheering lonely
heart They are little feathery artists,
making pictures out of sound that are
always colored by a tinge of their own
pathos. The cav of the crow is not more
dreary than is the whistling of the red
bird, or the cry Of the oriole The feel
ings of these little woodland creatures
are not unlike the emotions of human
creature under the same surroundings.
In the great art gallery of nature, all
pictures are the same to all creatures
Nature never Ensembles. AS the birds
feel that they are lost and buried in
the vast depths of wooded hills they
cry forth to fill the vacant waste of soli-
tude, just as a human being, i'm the
darkness of some starless night or I'm
the blackness OF some cave, cries out,
that the echoes may break the loneli-
ness of his heart. In all nature there is
some common bond of unity, and every
creature in some way speaks to every
other creature. and altogether IL is the
universal language of nature We might
say IL is the hand of deity reaching
from one of his bodies to the other One
spirit with a million bodies, still is but
one.
The lonely woman. slowly treading
the unfrequerted path, picking a wild
, flower here. humming a snatch of some
sad song in answer to the birds. soon

Pretty soon it stopped, and Rebie
went up close to it and stopped down
to look at il. She thought IL looked
like some pretty ribbon she had seen
in the store when she went shopping
with mamma, but just then it raised its
head straight up in the air and shot
toward her a long slender tongue that
looked like a little black streak, IL moved
so fast at the same time making a lit
tie kissing sort of sound.
That frightened Rebie little, and she
jumped up quickly and ran into the
house to grandma.
ooh. grandma" she said, come out
quick and see this funny bugl He goes
this way and she waved her little fat
fingers slowly back and forth
Now grandma was busy and didn't
care to go out to look at bugs, but the
little girl was so earnest and excited she
went with her.
Rebie led her straight to the chicken
yard fence, and there, stretched out at
full length in the grass, summing him
self, lay a snake.
A viper, John said il was when he
brought the hoe and killed it. And when
she heard what it was and what it
might have done Rebie was very glad
the funny bug was dead and could
do her no harm.

An Irresistible Appeal.

A little girl twelve years old was
told last year just before the Fourth of
July that her papa could not afford to
buy any fireworks but that she and
Willie would have to watch the other
children. The small brother seemed
quite resigned to the inevitable and on
the morning of the Fourth marched
across the street to watch the other boys
fire their torpedoes. But the little girl
was not so easily satisfied. She could
not believe at first that it was not all a
joke and hunted all over the house for
bundles which might suggest firecrack-
ers, but all in vain.
At breakfast nothing was said about
any fireworks and when she was fully
convinced that it was not a joke at all
but real truth and that they were not
to have any firecrackers or torpedoes or
rockets she burst into tears and said
between her SobS:
What do you think Samuel Adams
and George Washington and John Ad-
ans and John Hancock would say If
they were alive?"
This was too much for the fond father,
who left the table and went out of the
house, returning about two hours later
with as many firecrackers, torpedoes,
rockets, Roman candles and fire bal
looms as he could carry.-Boston Journal.

man who loved her. She understood it

Daniel webstcr's Boyhood.

webster's early life contradicts the
popular notion that man is the creature
Of circumstances. He, on the contrary,
made circumstances his creatures. One
of his friends writing after his death
said:
His school time was much interrupted,
and from his own lips 1 learned that
Webster's struggle for an education was
continued from his early childhood to
his thirtieth year. Every step in ad-
vance was contested by obstacles which
he met with a lion heart, and with a
lions courage overthrow.
His books were few at this time.
There were a copy of Watts hymns, a
cheap pamphlet copy of Pope's Essay
on Man and the bible, from which he
first learned to read, together with an
occasional almanac. He used to say
that at the age of fourteen he could re-
cite the whole of the Essay on Man

Following the road to the foot OF the
hill she found herself on level ground
and was quickly beside her motionIess
friend. Her first thought was to see If
he were yet living. Placing her ear
over his heart she broke into convulsiye
sobs and tears. Not hearing a throb
from his bosom, she felt confident that
life was extinct. AS gently as a mother

over to leave kiss upon his dead lips.
In doing so. she discovered for the first
time an ugly wound upon his face After
a moments meditation again her grief
was overpowering, and again she re-
peated his name. continuing:
And this ends all; this the only man
I could ever love, whose life was dearer
to me than my own, and for whom I
would give worlds had them

But my bright hour has faded

in the buggy and shared this fate, how
much better it would have been. This
sad ending of my brightest hope is like

close beside the gate leading into the
chicken yard. She was watching the
little chickens that were running about
crying "cheep. cheep." and the old
mother hens scratching up bugs and
worms for their little folks dinner.
All at once she spied a queer looking
object trailing through the grass at her
feet. 1t had an odd Zigzag motion, and
in all the five years of her life Rebie
had never seen anything like it. She
watched it intently. wondering if grand
ma had ever seen one like it. She would
have liked to call grandma to come and
see it, only it might go away while she
was gone.
