poRoTHY's TREASURE.

In far-away nursery corner,
My Dorothy, winsome and gay,
TO her quaint little dolls and playthings
In singing tender lay.
Do you know why her hearts rejoicing,
Why her dark-br0wn eyes shine bright
Shall tell you the song she's singing.
The cause of her great delight?
in that far-away nursery corner.
Where rag dollies reign galore,
She discovered bright new nickel
That shone on the nursery floor.
She has never possessed such a fortune.
This dear little maiden fair,
And she shows me her precious treasure
With the pride of millionaire.
SNOW dolly shall have new bonnet,
And sweet cakes and candy I'll buy;
What a glorious time We'll have shopping
My little rag baby and I.
''1'll get her dear little cradle,
A coach and pair Of new shoes.
IA dress and bright silk umbrella,
And anything else she may choose"
SO all the day long she keeps singing,
This innocent maiden OF three,
OF the things she will buy with her nickel,
For dolly, for herself and for me.

Conscience Stricken.

Harry Root, aged IS years. walked
into the Central station at Minneap-
oils and announced that he was bur-
glar and wished to give himself up.
Questioned by Captain Coskran. he
confessed that he and a companion
had gone through jewelry store al
80 Nicollet avenue, securing six opera
glasses, some cuff buttons. watch
chains. and pins. He had been for.
mer employe at the store, and in that
capacity had managed to get a wax
impression of the lock, with which he
had key made to order and thus eff
fected entrance. He had afterwards
pawned the plumber. He was without
employment and could not agree with
his step-mother, for which reason he
left home. Urged on by hunger, he
had committed the crime.

May StifTen Cash Wheat.

The mills at the head of the lakes
have been given an all-rail rate to the
seaboard of 20K cents. This is just
one-half cent more than the the lake
and rail rate now. The mills therefore
are not very much concerned over
when navigation closes. It means,
too, that they are in the market for
wheat all through December. They
have bought much wheat to arrive, at
one cent over the December option, and
-four business has been done on the
basis of the spot wheat premium of 81
to cents over December. so they are
practically 81 cents ahead on all they
have purchased. The result is likely
to be stiffening in the price of cash
wheat

one or the Sights of the New England
Town Is the Quaint Little
Figures.

Almost the first sight that catches
the eye as we leave the wharf is the
group OF government weather signals
and vanes on the roof of the historic
custom house; for Nantucket is one of
the most important signal stations
along the east coast.
Going up into the town, we soon find
that the most popular vane is that
called by the children: the "sailor-man;"
and he is indeed an attractive little fell
low. He is always dressed in white
trousers and blue monkey jacket, and
he wears on the back of his little block
head brilliant black hat. It isn't a
regular tarpaulin, you know, but it is
something like the hats the girls wear
and name ''sailors;" and that may be
the reason that he wears it, for true
sailor is a very chivalrous sort of per-
son. This little man has broad-bladed
oars securely fastened in his chubby
hands, and, perched aloft on pole, he
swings gaily about on pivot with the
breeze, while his oars revolve as the
wind chooses. Sometimes he seems to
be making friendly signals, sometimes
signs of distress, and often he appears
to be violently whirling Indian clubs,
as if he were taking his exercise on his
own main truck.
This sailor vane is in such demand by
summer visitors that making him has
become fairly paying business. One
islander sold 500 in one year. And this
Nantucket product, like the real sailor
himself, travels to all parts of the
world. Whether he works as surely and
vigorously in a land breeze, we are not
able to say. Perhaps he is even more
frisky, as true sailor men are said to
be when they go ashore.
Next in favor to the rather flat-faced
sailor is a Roman soldier, who is armed
with broadsword' in one hand and pro-
tected by a shield in the other. He
also wears a helmet, and he is usually
all of one color-a sort of golden brown,
because he is only shellacked.
He doesn't caper quite so merrily as
the sailor, and he looks rather more dig
nified as, indeed, he should; for in the
old whaling days, at least, there was no
time on shipboard for daily drills or
dress parade. Jack Tar had to be on
deck when he was needed, and how he
got there, Or how he looked when he
did get there, nobody knew or cared

CHAPTER x.

Despite his strong will and determine
alton not to yield to weakness, Hen
bricks was compelled to remain in his
room longer than he expected. But his
mind was not idle. Every time DR..
Lampkin called he found him engaged
in some investigation pertaining to the
murder of Caruthers.
"You might as we'll go out and be
done with it," remarked Lamplzin one
day. "Don't you know you'll never get
strong again as long as you keep your
brain on the race-track?"
Hendricks looked down sheepishly.

"Oh!" exclaimed the detective. "You
