A Book in q Tree Trunk.

There have been numerous stories
told of the finding of live frogs in the
heart of tree which WAS sound in it's
outward appearance, but perhaps the
best tree story of the series comes from
Ware county. a negro there. as the
story goes, was cutting down a dead
pine tree, when the blade of his AK dis
closed numerous thin particles of
printed paper. He was naturally
amazed at this, but kept chopping
away until he discovered the remains
of a leather-bound book, which subse-
quently proved to be a Testament Or
small Bible. There was a considerable
hollow in the heart of the tree, but it
was not visible from the outside. The
leaves of the book were old and faded,
and the question is: How did it get
there? This is the second occurrence
OF the finding of strange articles in
Georgia trees within the last month or
two.-Atlanta Constitution

capital removed from Topeka to their

| luckily.
At last we heard the rumble Of the
express in the distance. Then pulled
the throttle and we began to make
good speed, so that out gait just equalled
that OF the express, and we ran side by
side, first. second. third car.
That was the one had told Molly to
be in, and on the farther side, SO that
her grandfather should not see my en-
CINE.
We fell back little and ran even
with the rear platform of the ear.
Would she have the courage to do it?
Such slight little thing as she was,
and it would need such pluck.
Could she escape the old mans vigil
lance?
Yes; there she was on the platform.
Quick now: there was the result of
my nights carpenter work, a plank
long enough to reach from the cab of
my locomotive to the platform of the
car. provided with rail, so that the
perilous walk might be made as safe as
possible.
It was fitted in place and she stepped
upon it bravely, though her cheeks
were deathly pale.
How anxiously 1 watched every step,
keeping one hand on the throttle lest
either engine increase or slacken it's
speed and the plank be shaken or bent
from the straight line.
Hall way across. A little falterine
as she glanced down at the flying
gravel.
Courage, my darling" cried.
People were beginning to crowd to
the windows, and out upon the plat
form rushed the brakeman and half
dozen passengers, among them grand
father Stackpole.
No one dared to speak for fear that
Molly would lose her balance. The
brakeman steadied that end of the
bridge and the deacon wrung his hands
in misery.
Almost over, two steps more, and
then pulled her in and smothered her
with kisses, while the fireman slack
ened our speed and played engineer for
awhile.
The plank, Molly's dangerous bridge,
fell to the ground as the express pulled
ahead, and we noticed that the feat
had been accomplished just in time, for
l looked out and saw only a three
quarter mile stretch of the side track
before us.
We reversed the engine-dear old Al
that had won me wife-and within
an hour L was the husband of the
sweetest little woman that man ever
loved-my Molly, here.
What became of GRANDPA ther?" he
soon forgave Molly, and has always
been kind to us. but his heart is till
hardened to Toms sons, whom Molly
insisted on hunting up in Maine.
We found them both prosperous
farmers, who had no need of grand
fathers help, and this fact seemed to
confirm his determination to have moth
ing to do with them.
Grandmother has visited them, and
is the same kindhearted old lady, de-
votedly fond of Molly, and attached to

Well, p'raps you wouldn't believe it

on the stone wall opposite the house,
resting and specializing as to who she
was, she came to the window and looked
out at the moon.
All the next day kept thinking how
pretty she locked with her hands raised
to hang the sheet, and how the light
glistened on her hair. and how she had
leaned forward to look up at the moon.
and that night-that was my Boston
