DOWN IN FAIRY DELL.

Little Dottie Daniels, wait a bit and tell
All the pretty tales you heard down in fairy
dell:
All the little whisperings and the trilling
words
Gargled in the cr:cket,s Throat and the
meadow birds.
Tell us how the birds themselves know the
days to sing.
Know the frosty winter days from the
days of spring;
How the leaves of summertime. when the
summers old.
Turn from deepest green. my dear. to
crimson and to gold.
Tell us how the angels oome tripping
through the blue.
To tip their tiny dippers up brimming full
of dew:
And how the dewy showers look, twinkling
from the skies.
When a body takes them in through
fairy's eyes.
Tell us, Dottie. did you see in. your fairy
grot
All the eerie little caves that the imps
have got,
All the homes the bats have found and
the naughty notes
That lodge at night in peoples eyes and
tickle peoples threats?
Did you see the spinning shop where the
spider sits
And weaves his gauzy web about and knits
and knitS and knits-
See him wink his wicked eyes and lick his
fuzzy jaws,
All because butterfly was coming toward
his claws?
What host of pretty sights must have
met your eyes,
When you dwelt in fairy dell under starry
skies!
What delightful symphonies must have
filled your ear
When you lay awake at night and listened.
Dottie dear.

THAT showed you had a habit of
walking about and unconsciousiv re-
turning to bed. 1t was only when
something half reused you that YOU
were unable to act for yourself" Col.
,Warrenton reflected for a moment:
then he said: Look here. Alfred;
want to give you some advice. You have
truthfully testified on oath as to what
happened last night to the best of your
memory at the time you were ques-
toned. This little circumstance has
since come into your mind. Now, nv
advice to you is to keep this to your
self. unless. of course, you should be
called to testify again"
'Why?" asked WILDLY.
For the sake of your personal safety.
Innocent men have been executed for
crime too often for one to deliberately
put his head into a halter"
"Pooh!" said the young man, I'M
easily. 1T seems like confessing to
guilt to keep back anything bearing
or the case"
'You are not capable of seeing wha,

say anything about it for awhile,

again.
WILDLY, as he shook hands with the
lawyer.
WILDLY continued to pace the floor
of the room until Matthews rapped at
the door.
What is it now?" asked WILDLY, adj
uniting him.

No Place for Extreme Self-Denial In
Large Cities, However.
There was once an altruist who had
an important engagement in a distant
town. Accordingly he went to the rail
way station to buy his ticket; pas-en
gers were not allowed to pay on the
train.
This man possessed an athletic and
sharp-eyed conscience, which he took
along with him because he never could
succeed in leaving it behind.
Arrived at the station he found sever
al other people waiting to buy tickets;
so he took his place at the end of the
line. When he got to the window he
was just about to ask for ticket to
-, when he glanced over his shoulder
and saw another man waiting. Prefer
ring others to himself, the altruist
stepped aside, and the other man
bought his ticket. The altruist was
again about to buy when he observed a
woman waiting, and again made way.
After her came a number of men,
women and children, who crowded SO
closely together that the altruist could
not get into line again and had to go to
the foot. Even here fresh people were
constantly coming in at the door and
he made way for each of them, and held
their bundles while they went up to
tuy their tickets, SO that night came
before he had got his own at ALL
"But there is just time now" said the
aitruist. So he made dash for the
ticket window, but his conscience
caught him by the collar.
How selfish it said, severely. you
are going to take the last chance; there
is another man who wants it," So the
other man bought the ticket, and the
window was closed for the night.
"Pll manage better tomorrow" said
the altruist. So the next day he came
early and headed the line. But just as
the ticket window. was opened the man
behind him said: Just let me ahead,
won't you? I'm in a hurry" So the al
TRUST made way.-Lippincott

CHAPTER II.-CONTINUED.

ChAfl LEX 1.-CONTINCED.
He sat down and tried to collect his
thoughts, but it was impossible Half an
hour went by. He heard the jury tramp
through the hall, cross the veranda and
go out at the gate. Then Matthews
raped on the door.
"Come in," said WILDLY.

want the job. 1 tor 'em I'd see you
about it,
"Use your Judgment: engage one of
them. l can't attend to it," WILDLY
called to the old man us he was closing
the door. "What was the verdict of the
jury?" he asked.
MET his death by the hand of some
person unknown, sir. They called me
back to open the windows, and I
stayed"
"Ah, you remained in there?"
Matthews opened the door little
wider and stood in the opening. Your
name came up mighty often, sir, after
you went OUT
my name? What did they say about
me?'
Il didn't catch it all, sir. but the de-
tective mentioned the stain on your
hand and said it no doubt came from
the sheet or from the curtain between
the rooms. He said your explanation
satisfied him, and that he did not be-
lieve a guilty man would wait for the
police to come before he washed his
hands and then do it right before 'em.
1t seems to me it would be foolish to
mix you up in it, sir, even if you did
know about the will"
''Will? What will are you talking
about?" asked WILDLY, abruptly.

They seemed to think there was motive

WILDLY had turned pale, and was twist
ing his handkerchief tightly in his
hands. eff one is to be suspected of
numbering ones nearest relative in cold
lood, it is a substantial comfort to
know that there is not enough evidence
to convict. Did you hear anything
elSe?'
''Nothin' important, sir. There was
good deal said about report that
master was thinkin' about gettin' mar
ried, and that he would likely alter his
will if he did. Mr.. Soddingham men,
toned that it had been talked of at the
club, but that you had laughed at the
report. They seemed to have found
some of the young lady's letters with
masters papers, and they appeared to
point that way"
II think did deny the report at
first" said WILDLY. thoughtfully, ''but

her face with a trembling hand and
looked into her eyes.
"Pshaw! Didn't he know that the

blood-stain on his hand. To avoid the

with such force that he found himself
utterly helpless to console her.

through the gate and cross the street.

Another Old Settler Gone,

he would, we did not imagine that we

worst afflicted, and great loss Of proper

families being left homeless and desti-

from all over the state, and the Coy

matter of relief delegated Mr.. Webb to

did on Tuesday and somewhere in the
neighborhood of $500 besides 4 large

Telephones in Sweden,

Everyone has read of the remarkable
use of the telephone system in Sweden,
particularly in Stockholm, and it has
often been pointed out that this is the
most extensive system in the world
when population is considered. The
figures, which have been SO variously
quoted, really give no adequate impress
sion of the completeness and general
popularity of the Swedish telephone
system. Even the fruit women and
fishmong5 IS in the markets and at street
corners haye their telephones, and the
small shop that has not phone is the
exception rather than the rule. This
general installation in stores presuppos-
es numerous calling subscribers, and
telephones in private residences are al
most universal.
The secret of this remarkable state OF
things Is to be found mainly III the
cheapness of the convenience. a house
holder can secure ample communication
tor so year. This payment entities
the subscriber to the free use of the
wires in Stockholm and throughout a
radius OF nearly 30 miles. The highest
charge for service is only 80 per an
mum. There are two other classes,
namely, $50 and So rater.
In the private dwelling rate Of so a
| wear the messages are limited to 400 per
| annum, and charge of cents for each
| excess message, compared with $50 or
| $50 rate in American cities for limited
! service and charge OF S to 10 cents for
/ each excess message.
Stockholm is served by two telephone
/ companies. one a state institution and
! the other private concern, which, by
/ the way is the more largely patronized.
( Almost every lamp-post Is provided
! with a telephone attachment, 10y which
/ it is possible to call up the nearest cab
stand for a carriage or notify the police
! and fire departments.
While the service is tirst-cl9ss in every
respect, ali the modern improvements
being supplied, yet, notwithstanding
! the remarkably low price for service,
! the company pays ali annual dividend
of s per cent.
