The wind, as. Johnnie's senses We're

of rain in the air. The boy opened his
eyes and looked out Of the window.
The wind seemed to be blowing the lit

his eyes he wished he wereiin the boat
and wondered if he should be able to
hold the sheet of the golden sail in such
a gale, and then he fell fast asleep.
It seemed to him that he had been
sailing for some. time when there was a
stopping of all things, and he awoke
with a start. 1t was at that solemn
hour just before dawn. Johnnie crept
to the window to see if there was now
a promise Of a fair day. The storm had
ceased, but it must have been furious
one, for the firm little bridge that Mr..
Duckworth had built over the river a
few steps from the house was broken.
Johnnie could plainly see the wreck in
the clear night. just then he heard a
sound, sound as big as a sigh, way,
way off. It was the Canadian express
whis tling for a switch at the junction.
The boy waited at the window to see it
go by. Suddenly a thought flashed into
his mind and his he.art stopped beating.

farmer had imported them..from far New

candles and scintillating wheels, such
as the little village way up in the north
Of the state had never had on the coun-

ders! there were grea flights, green and
red, that iii" up acres and acres Of the
farm, and even illuminated Johnnie's
and his Mothers facesas they sat on the
little piazza of their home watching the
distant show. The next day Johnnie
asked in the village what the great
lights were.and was told that they were.
called Grecian lights. Immediately the
desire to possess so much glow seized
Johnnie, and he resolved to have one
himself the next year. His longing was
so deep that somehow he could not tell
anyone about it, not even his good
mother. His secret had charm for
him. In the following spring he was
still as enthusiastic, and he began to
hoard the occasional pennies he made
by one and another little service to the
village folk. By the last week in June
he had saved Is cents, and was ready for
his purchase. And now, hoW'to secure
