ceiver. The little end of the shell must
be broken first and all the contents re-
moved. The edge may then he broken
carefully down to about one-quarter of
the length of the shell. A stem may be
made Of twisted green paper and pasted
on it at the base. Another device is
made by cutting the small end of a shell
straightacross FASTING on a stripof paper
at the side and placing a bit Of wood or
cardboard underneath. The little q
thus made can be tastefully decorated
with either oils or water colors. This Is
as easily constructed a any and is q
rather neat object when carefully fin
ished. A basket made from q good sized
eggshen is another novelty. 1t is not
hard to make, but care must be taken in
breaking the shell and in cutting it down
trim and smooth.
One of the new designs is especially
calculated to catch the fancy Of mascu-
line juvenility. It is made out of an un-
broken egg which has been painted to
resemble a swan, and to which a tail of
pasteboard and small feathers has been
appended. The throat and head can be
made either of paper or Of a wire around
which paper or cloth has been wrapped.
By carefully blowing out the contents
Of the shell through pinholes and sealing
up the holes before adding the head and
tail the artificial bird may be made to
float on the water like its natural relative
In the parks.
One of the Easter devices Is very elab-
crate and a rather pretty trife in its
way. 1t is simply an egg from which
the little end has been cut neatly away,
and upon which figures, like those seen
In Chinese fowerpots, have been paint
ed. Into the open end small artificial
flowers of wax are placed. The whole Is
TO be mounted on 8 little three legged
support of the very light, thin bamboo.
Two other designs are eminently prac-
teal in their uses and are not hard to
make. One is q matehsafe, and the other,
which is painted to resemble a tub and
fitted with q pasteboard bottom, may be
used to hold matches, pinsor other small
articles. In making both of these de-
vices considerable caution will have to
be used in cutting the shell. After that.
however, the work is easy. On any or
all Of the designs there is great scope for
ingenuity, and . cheap box Of paints
viii enable one TO make any number Of
decorations that fancy may suggest.
The McCook tribune. (McCook, Neb.) 1886-1936, 1894-03-23

When the city editor was gone, and
the place was almost quiet, he threw
down his pen and clasped his hands to
his burning head. How the old pain
racked him tonight-the surging, the
humming, the vertigo that seemed as if
some day it would surely drive him mad
again.
Again!
He was almost afraid to think the
word, lest in some way it reach the
minds of the men he heard laughing in
the other room.
What would they say IL they knew he
had been mad-the inmate Of a mad
house for years? Now they spoke Of him
as a man who had suffered much-that
was evident from the settled sadness OF
his clouded eyes-and who was strangely
reticent about his origin, his past.
What would they say if they knew that
to him there was no past-that beyond
his first conscious hours in the Swiss
madhouse he knew nothing?
Dismal thoughts-terrible. penetrating
loneliness. How his soul was torturedi
But worse ven than this poignant pain
was the feeling that often beset him
when he awoke just at the edge of day,
just as the gray light of dawn was steal
ing over the sluggish world, a feeling
that his consciousness was trembling on
the brink of a discovery-that a great
joy or a great sadness would be his in
that food of light.
But it did not come, and the cloud did
not lift from his eyes.
Easter morning dawned fresh, crystal
clear. The sky was a tremulous azure;
the fragrance of trumpet shaped lilies
hung in the velvet air; the church bells
pealed out gladly; the streets were
thronged with people who seemed un-
troubled by a care.
To the city editors gift King had add
ed a bunch of white flowers, and feel
ing the happy consciousness that he was
going to make one small boy happy
made his way to the dreariness of Min
gins alley.
As fate decreed, he met old Mrs. Ryan
about to sally to church in her Sunday
bonnet.
"Will you tell me, please, if a little
boy lives in this alleyway named TedY'
King asked.
"Wen upon me wurdp and Mrs. Ryan
tossed her head. sIE's Ted now, is it7
And Yesterday it was a futman that I'D

she'll be havin barooches stoppin here
rixt. H'mi" And with these charitable
remarks Mrs. Ryan pursued her self
righteous, self satisfied way to church.
Outside the door to which he was di-
rected King paused.
Dare he venture in? There was grief
beyond that door. He heard q woman's
weeping voice, q child's short, heart
broken sobs.
"Oh, Ted. Ted, Ted, what shall we dos
Oh, the cruelty Of the worldl There,

EASTER IN MINGIN'S ALLEY.

"She do. Jest beyant that fus' dure,

They stood at the entrance to the al
kyway, SO chill. 10 damp this cloudy
day of early spring-an old woman in a
shabby quilted bonnet, a market basket
ON her arm, her scanned, fabby face fair
~ quivering with curiosity, and a foot
man in dark green livery, as carefully
groomed as the master who sent him.
He certainly was an unusual sight in
Mingin's alley-so unusual indeed that
old Mrs. Ryan could scarcely get her
breath back as she looked after him.

but that's airs, ! must say! Mrs. Terry

1t was a choice bit of news, and Mrs.
2ary.Ann Ryan of Mingin's alley looked
forward to retailing it over a glass of
whisky, just as Miss Manhattan at 5
o'clock tea rattles the skeletons her alb
sent friends think hidden.
Meanwhile the footman went on, gin
gerly picking his way over the muddy
pavement, until he came to the door in
the small rear house to which he had
been directed.
It was still wintry and cold in the pas
sageway, but when the door was opened
to his knock there was something spring

rose as If ont OF . mist He remembered
all-the bright sunny day when in a
holiday mood be had left her; the fall
into the hidden snare in the mountains;
the awful period of hunger passed there
as in q walled in chamber, where he was
imprisoned like q bird In a snare; then
the terrible struggle for freedom, aided
by the sun, whose sudden, unreasonable
heat loosened the drifts about him; his
crawling from the place and wandering
h knew not where-a wreck from pri-
walton and hunger; his mex memory the
madhousei How it ell came backi
Oh, it was q moment that a century of
life, If that were possible, could not blot
out.
And yet-and yet-he dare not hope
for too much. How could he expect to
find Mildred, his proud, gentle Mildred,
here in Mingin's alley?
His faint knock was not heard, SO he
gently opened the door, Ted's letter and
the white flowers in his hand.
All. the scene that met his eyesl A
young woman was seated by a table, her
face hidden on her clasped arms, a cherub
faced, yellow haired boy leaning on a
crutch beside her and gently stroking her
shoulder.
"You got Ted to help you when he gets
big, he was aying. 'Isn't Ted nothingT'
As King entered the baby face was
turned wrathfully toward him.
"Don'tyoutouch my mammal Are you
the landlordy'
mo; I've come from The Trumpet,
Ted. with some Easter gifts for you" an
swered King, scarcely able to control his
voice as his eyes fastened ON the wom-
ans downcast lead instead of Ted's face,
now wildly jubilant.
Slowly, at sound of that voice, Mil
dred looked up, turned, as if expecting to
see a spirit beside her, rose slowly, all
the while gazing into Kings eyes as if
magnetized.
"Did-you-speakr' she gasped.
He caught her in his arms.
"Terry" came in a ringing cry of mad
joy from her lips.
Yet still she trembled and gazed, still
u~nbelieving, still dazed. Could the dead
come back?
There, while in his arms, she heard the
whole story.
"The people who took me in when
they found me wandering half crazed
never thought, / suppose, that | was the
chap who disappeared weeks before.
Those graves of snow seldom open, and
one false step usually means oblivion.
They gave me the name of King at the
asylum. and I kept it. l hadn't an idea
who l was any more than if I had never
heard of myself, but otherwise my mind
was perfectly restored, and I've been in
journalism in New York on different pa
pers for three years"
"For three yearsl" And she shivered
as her lips met his.
But, oh, the glory in Mingin's alley

Ted was monarch of all he surveyed, in

of eggs and driven by a little cherub not
unlike himself?
Ted took the paper and spread it out
on his knees. 1t was, in fact, the chill
dren's page of a daily paper. He liked
the hen and the eggs. How he wished
he might have a candy egg for Easter
Sunday, as he had had when times were
better the year before!
But he was a philosopher in his small
way, and he put the tempting thought
aside.
Nevertheless the page interested him,
and he began spelling out this conspicu-

ously printed notice in a loud, lisping
voice: easter gifts for the children.
Send your name and address to The
Trumpet Office, = Broadway"
Ted's cheeks flushed; his eyes almost
started from his head. He seized the little
crutch and ticktocked over to where he
kept his schoolbooks and a stubby PEN
Gil. After an hours hard work the fol-
lowing letter was completed on a page
of his copybook:
Dere trumpet ofice-i am Ted sewn year old
next joon and i want q gift, my mama cryed
hard yesday she has no muny for gifts a letter
came that was horid, a man with butonss brot
it, i am lam but i don't min that j was horned
that way, do pies send a gift my papa is ded i
CESS that makes mama sad, 80 plese send the
gift to Ted in mingins alley yor true friend
TED.
Posting the letter was an easy matter,
for when Sophie, the little German girl,
came up stairs he gave her explicit di.
rections about sending it at once.
Not a word did Ted say to his mother
about this venture Of his, and his cheeks
were very red when he went to sleep that
night, his first secret weighing most i'm
p~ortantly OF his heart.
It wa Easter eve, and the city editor
of The Trumpet was very busy.
Among his letters was n in a very
cheap and rather soiled envelope, the ad-
dress written on it in q hand that was
~ludicrously babyish.
''This is from one Of the kids about
the Easter gifts" he said, with a smile.
"How in thunder did it stray among my
papers? I'm afraid it's too late now
yes, for it's almost ii, and the children's
editor is gone"
But when he had waded through little
Ted's scrawl there was q mist over his
eyes. He thought of his three boys at
home, and he determined that this little
chap should have an Easter gift II he had
to fetch it himself.
Folding the letter, he looked hurriedly
around the room.
There was q man busily writing at .
desk a by. He was the assistant ed
ftor, q young Englishman but lately n
gagged by the paper.
"See here. King, I've got a job for
you"
He showed Ted's letter,

late to touch it tonight, but go. like .
good fellow, the first thing in the morn
ing. Here are q few dollars, and you'll
find some of those painted eggs we sent
vi to the children in the desk there"
What's the Manner asked King, his
sad, vacant eyes glancing down the
page. HIN, the little chap has forgot
ten to put anything but Ted How
ever, I dare say Ted Of Mingin's alley
will find him. Have you sven noticed
what little royalists children are? Their
signatures : kingly. One name is
quite sufficient. they think, to distin-
guish them from all other mortals. He
probably supposes there is only one Ted

"You know where Mingin's alley is

anarchist, hiding-s sad, poverty striok-

"Yes, / remember. I'll go in he

King went back TO his desk. The light

CHICAGO, April I'm a lecture delivered
last night Theodore Westmark a young
Scandinavian who made two explorations
of the Congo State in central Africa, un-
der the auspices of King Leopold IL, of
Belgium, accused Henry NJ Stanley of
having lunohed on human flesh to satisfy
a morbid curiosity. Mr.. Westmark said
that at Stanley Pool, in 1884, Stanley, Gu
rious to know how human flesh would
taste, sent his servant Duala to procure a
chunk Of the native material, but it proved
tainted and DUala received a sound drub-
bing. A second foraging trip after flesh
from native proved more successful. 1t
was fried in butter and served with sauce
piquante and mixed pickles. but despite
these condiments Stanley pronounced the
flesh to be tasteless.
