Entreaties were of no avail. "Daisy
must remain at home," they said.
abe good girl, good bye, DEAR
were the parting words as they
drove away. Her little heart was
swelling with grief and anger. She
was only four years of age, but, "all
the world was dark and dreary," to
her as she slowly entered the house.
Belle was busy writing and paid no
attention to her sister. At length
the child exclaimed between her
sobs, Il want to go somewhere"
"Well, go somewhere" Belle said,
impatiently.

eyes, go find Dinah."
Daisy danced out of the room. An
idea had popped into her little head;
she had been the week before with
Belle to Peaks Island, and of the de-
lightful day spent there had thought
and dreamed since. Little island
steamers, she knew, were plying back
and forth during the day at this sea-
son. She had never been allowed to
go from home alone; in her present
state of mind she enjoyed violating
the rule.
''They needn't 'spect I can be good
when nobody pays any 'tention to
me-" she soliloquized, Il must first
put up some lunch; Belle did; there's
mammals silk bsgw Soon that was
filled with goodies of her choosing.
Her favorite dress, red one, was
pulled from it's hook and hurried on
over the one already worn. After a
struggle with the buttons she fast
ened only one, and while rubbing
her aching fingers hunted for a
shawl, and found large green one
belonging to the cook. Then with
her best hat on, a dainty one of white
straw and blue ribbons, with her bag
and with Dinah in her arms, she ran
down Congress street, through the
park, into Pearl street, and toward
the wharves. People laughed to see
her mince along, holding up her
shawl as lady in front of her did
her trailing dress, and at the large,
black cotton stuffed doll, a bit of red
flannel for a mouth, two beads for
eyes, and curly black astrakan for
hair partly concealed by red tur-
ban. Trudging along, she discoursed
in this wise to her doll:
Nov, Dinah, we are going to see
bears, and parrots, and apes, and lit
tie guinea pigs, and everything.

When on the steamer she climbed
at once upon seat, and leaning over
the iron railing watched the foam in
the wake of the boat.
Child, what are you doingG" ex-
claimed lady, catching her by the
dress.
Looking at the soap 'suds the boat
makes" was the serene answer.

IneY Shook the Dice.

We are frequently censured for
publishing TOO glowing reports from
the mines in this county. We never
willfully exaggeratc any mining
strike. We know from many years
observation that it is a foolish thing
to do. But our reports from mines
are usually received from persons
who are in a position to know, and
If they see things through golden
glasses we should not be blamed.
Every mining district is afflicted
with some prime romaneers. Yes
terday our reporter encountered
three as fine specimen prevaricators
as can be produced. They were com
pairing notes. Two of them had been
in Cat Greek for some time, and the
third had just arrived from Haw-
thorne district. They told such stu
pendous yarns about their respective
claims that the reporter could not
decide which was the greater liar,
and in order to settle the matter he
asked them to go into Dave Ora
ham's and shake the dice. Col. Cur
It's shook five fours the first throw;
Curley Obenderf turned up FIVE

box and out rolled five skies. The
result showed that they were all good

liar of all. The friends of Abe Sum-
merfield say they will back him
against Shorty. It's close game
