stella reluctantly took the paper. and,
avoiding the glaring headlines where
her name appeared coupled with vari-
Gus complimentary terms, read the fol-
lowing paragraph:
About s O'clock last evening a man
presented himself at the county hos

The man explained that he had shot
himself by accident, and produced a

dressed, il is more than probable that
his wound was the result lf the excel

Fred had a long talk with his father
before he returned to school, and found
himself far more at case with him than
ever before Judge Howard had been
terribly moved by. Stella's dangerous

broke into an absurd pantonine of

The two top boards can be II inches

be attached securely to the cabinet, but
they may be fastened to the wall in

The woodwork should be painted or

vanished.
To the under side of the top shelf a
light rod may be suspended. on which
small rings can slide in order that pref

exclaimed:

AT the station Stella raised the NOV

the revolver in the space beneath. After
telling Fred goodbye she was driving

daughter, whose class poem had been
pronounced to be of unusual power and
