A NOVEL WELL BUCKET.
The Stranger Who Called For . Drink
Was Mystifed.

A traveller who was journeying through
Florida, not far in the interior, stopped
one day for drink of water at house by
the wayside.
"Cert'ny, stranger" said tho sun
burned, barefooted woman who had met
him at the door. Then she stuck her head
through the crack and began to call: "Sal
Here you, sal Take a gourd an 90 git
the stranger fresh drink"
He watched and saw towheaded girl
disappear down path which led through
truck patch until she stopped upon
small board platform. He saw her let a
rope rapidly down, but there appeared to
be no bucket attached, and no heard no
knocking against the sides of the well
such as a bucket usually makes in its do
scent When 1t was drawn up again, tho
girl had changed her position so that he
could not see what was on the end OF tho
rope, but he did not hear her set "a bucket
down, and after sho had left saw only
what looked like bunch of weeds dan
Cling from the rope But she brought the
water, and it appeared all right.
"How did you manage to get it, he
asked, without n bucket"
We've got bucket" said she. dad
brung us new one yesterday. He fished
IL up quite awhile ago, but IL had to be
cleaned up"
Anxious to see tho bucket that had been
"fshed up" and "cleaned, the traveller
made some excuse TO step to the well, and
what he saw was large sponge which
when IL was let down would absorb as
much water as one person could draw ND
and hold good share of It until 10 was
drawn to the top and emptied by squeez-
Ing.

"It is an unlucky influence. A person
who hates you can wish you evil, and
the wish will come to pass"
"How?"
"How? Good and evil wishes wallr

like us, though we may not see them.
and injured by those who wish us Ill,
though we may not know them. An i'll

in the soul against which it is directed"
The lad dropped his eyes.
He started suddenly. A strange
sound was In the air.
The widow stopped in her work.
"And what was that?" he asked.
II heard it," said the widow. "It was
peculiarsome. There it is againl"
A low, chuckling sound. like a
whistle, prolonged as with an evil sug-
gestion, seemed 10 come back from the
still night air. The sound was like a
voice of one in deep sorrow--a hurt
tone. and one implying purpose of re-
vcnge.
There, I heard IL again. Farther
away" said the lad.
The two listened. It did not come
again.
Sounds have souls. This peculiar
sound seemed to affect the Imagination
of the lad.
"How do we resist an evil eye?" he
asked.
"Oh, by counter influences. DO not
let us talk of it,"
A year passed. He had learned to
read now. May mad come again.
One day as they were sitting by tho
door the young sailor lifted his eyes
toward n house in full view of what
seemed TO rise out of the fowery garden
in the lane. The lilacs were blooming
there, and the red robins were Autter-

lie opened the gate with a trembling
hand. She stood under the trees and
watched him as he went away. He
looked back once; his face met hers;
she saw his true heart in his face, and
she was for the first time conscious that
she loved him. She pressed her foot
with the silent language of motion into
The newly green turf. and bent down a
branch of a tree. She was troubled.
She said TO herself that this love in her
heart should never prevent his taking
TO himself young wife. Her affec-
ton for him should yield to her moral
will for his good.
AS she stood there his form vanished,
and his step slowly died away. The
old North church loomed up from the
hill, bright with spring sunlight. The
sea birds were circling around it; be-.
yond it was the graveyard on Cops
Hill. What was that?
A short chuckling whistle pierced the
air. She recalled that she had heard it

Infnnt'a Rash.

For the rcd rash and irritation Of the
skin from which many infants suffer, it is
a good plan TO mix half a teaspoonful OF
warm castor oil with the same quantity Of
dill water. This may be sweeienei with
sugar of milk When baby is hungry, give
little at time, allowing him to suck
gently. Do this three or four nights fol-
lowing, and the result will be found very
satisfactory. To dab the skin with a
strong solution of bicarbonate of soda In
water, or with boracio acid in water, or
with ordinary lead lotion sold by all drug.
