here that II would be simply fool
hardy for boy aged 1-2-S to dare to
venture down the back stairs to the
kitchen, The guinea pig must be fed
with what was at hand. Let us see.
M, yes. There was the medicine
chest in the closet. BY placing has
sock on chair he could reach it and
he had frequently seen his papa or
his mamma pour things from bottles
into spoons and give them either to
himself or his sister, Oracle. True,
he had crafily taken the liquids into
his mouth snd at his opportunity had
saat them ont again. but none the
less ne fancied that the medicaments
must be good for the animal kingdom.
II pills and cod liver oil were, as par
enlS claimed, advantageous for a
smaa boy, why not for a hungry
guinea pig? Surely.
Ha! Good luck! Here was the big
bottle which his papa had christened
as "Bogum" in fancy that he, Victor,
would not know it was that same old
cod liver oil Of two months before
Come, Victor, and get your nice boz
gum. your delicious begun that
makes you strong and big. All, think
of the poor little boys who have no
gum! Come, dear!" That was his
para's dcceitful speech. 1t had fool
ed him the first day.
He spilled the cough syrup, which
ran in sticky river down the wall
and formed saccharine and glutin-
GUS lakeet on the lioor-a lakelet in
to which he stepped as he climbed
down and into winch he subsequently
poAed Inc nose vi oae guinea pig in
the kindly meant effort to afford it q
treat. The guinea pig had already
revolted at the cod liver OIL, making
noises of alarm like the cracking of
some kind of machinery, and in its
hurry bury had spilled The oil upon
his night dress and lne rug. He re-
buked the little animal for this, for
he knew his mamma would be justly
angry at it. Tn. A he presented its
front to the stepped-in ponr of cough
syrup If the guinea pig had with
ed and twisted at the time of the oil
it performed daring and unusual
feats of acrobatism now in the mat
ter Of the syrup. 1t rolled in the
compound and so coated itself that
when at last itbroke away and went
scurrying it picked up all sorts Of
things in its course, like a magnet or
blotter on legs. 1t was the most I'M
grateful animal II had ever been the
fortune of the little boy to encounter
in all the span Of his life. He was
minded to weep at it's manner of
receiving, or, rather, refusing TO re-
ceive his attentions-4but after all
what was the use? AT least Il quarter
of the apple remained buried in the
bed clothing and he would go and
consume it. Now that he recalled it
he felt glad that he had not offered
his apple to the guinea pig. The
beasties conduct showed that ii was
altogether unworthy of such treat
as brown and rusty apple--a hold
over of the night before. No; the
apple was for drawer folk He would
go and get it.

His papa and mama having been
in town to attend a theatrical per-
formance on the previous night had
returned home after midnight, and
were accordingly unusually sleepy.
Little Victor remembered that he had
been left alone with nobody but his
small sister, the guinea pig and the
girl to bear him company, and it
seemed to him unjust. He believed
that it would be no more than right
for him to go into the room of his par
ents and mention to them the fact
that he had been obliged to go to
sleep without a single story. He had
rather expected on the evening be-
fore that his papa would tell him for
the eighty-third time-although of
course he was quite too young to keep
count above seven, and even then he
jumped from three to fve-the yarn
Of the elephant which flew UP into
the top of the tree and there found
the dog, which he gathered in his
trunk and threw across a mountain
into river. 1t was good story, and
being deprived Of it, he felt himself
victimized and defrauded He would

Two little bare feet stuck out of the
legs of small, pink nightdress, and
in moment he felt the cold, hard
surface of the oilded floor and jerked
them back again. He knew of a rug
at the other end of the bed and he
also knew of the pillow on which his
head had rested. So he tumbled the
pillow off the bed, overtnrning the
glass of water which stood on the
stand near by, and saturating the left
ley of his nightfrok. GOO! 1t was
cold! A thought occurred to him.
He had not realized before that he
wanted a drink. Now, however, the
notion became overwhelming. So he
searched about the floor until he
found the glass and went rummag-
ing for the bathroom. 1t was fun to
see the water run from the faucet.
He watched it for awhile and then
decided that he would heap Goals of
fire upon the head OF his mama by
fetching drink to her bedside. lie
filled the glass, got half way to the
parental bedroom and caught sight
of the guinea pig under the dresser.
This, of course, annulled all previous
intentions and purposes. He placed
the vessel of water in the middle of
the hall and bolted for the guinea pig,
chuckling exutantly. He did not
know that the washbowl in bathroom
was now overlooking and that the en-
tire resources of the suburban water
works were trickling over the floor
and forming a pool wherein lay an
archipelago Of soap and tooth brushes
and other things which he had knock
ed off the shelf when he had climbed
up to get his drink.

THE MARKETS..
Wall Street Review.

New York, Oct. 5.~-Speculative atten-
tion was directed to the American Su-
gar Refining company's shares today
by the cut in prices Of the various
grades of the product. Advices from
the sugar district were that dealers
were holding off in expectation of fur
ther reductions and that a lively war
In the trade was looked for. Wall
street received the various develop
ments with some concern as 1t was felt
that renewed liquidation in Sugar
would tend to deprive the market of
the outside support which 1t was now
experiencing and that the efforts
which were being made to sustain
various specialties would be abandon
ed. Subsequent developments how
ever served to reassure the street
as supporting orders were placed all
around and the drop in Sugar of 8
points to 112A was without apprecia-
tive effect. The firmness of the eener-
al market coupled with open buying of
other industrials by a leading interest
brought about a rally of :, points In
Sugar Irregularity was quite pro-
nounced throughout the day and the
list gave little semblance of strength
except for a brief interval at the start
and again in the late session. Final
dealings We're characterized by
strength but net changes are irregular.
Total sales were 402,355 shares.

of appeals today, Judge Bland set
aside the divorce obtained recently at
Springfield, Mo-, by Mrs. Isabella
Campbell from William c. Campbell,
on the grounds of desertion and gen.

Judge Bland said the evidence went
to show that Campbell was a poor
man, working for wages. while his
wife had $4,000 in property and a fixed
income of $50 a month besides. The
husbands only offense was his pover-
ty. Judge Bland said there was no
law in Missouri which made poverty a
