MONKEY AND FIREWORKS,

Tommy's Uncle Ned brought him home a monkey from South America. It was full of mischief. Last May Day. so Uncle Ned said, it was two years old. I must tell you what happened to the monkey, to Tommy and to his flrecrackers, which Tommy had left over from last Fourth of July, and which he expected to use In celebrating the New Year. Tommy could safely fire crackers any day in the year, for he lives in the country.
 There was a whole boxfuI of crack CTS. for Uncle Ned heard what was in- tended, and he bought in San Fran cisco lot of redheads and cannon crackers, and I don't know how many packs of little firecrackers. One day Tommy took them out and showed them all to Jimmy Eggers, his uttIe friend, who lives across the bridge
 Tommy lighted one and set it off and the monkey, who saw the perform ance. chattered and seemed mucb pleased.
 Two nights later the monkey broke loose from his chain and went to tho frecracker box and took out all +ba hrecrackers-the redheads, cannon crackers and every one, while Ton,rD,, was asleep. He found a match in tbe box, but knocked down the box and walked Tommy, who jumped out of pea and went to the monkey. The hght was burning in the next room.

turned into stones and trees and storks and strange animals by her. She has piled up the stones that once were children into house by magic, and In that strange house listening ever to the means of the stones, which keep their voices, lives Malenote."
 And the animals?''
 ''They are things of strange shape. that guard the house of Malenoto and rush at all strangers with horrible cries"
 Goldilocks trembled Every leaf on the Gentle Willow Tree rustled and trembled, and through the rustling sounded a sigh, so soft and gentle that Goldilocks. dear little girl, was filled with pity and courage to aid the unhappy fairy.
 Then the Fairy Queen laid a hand as light as thistle down and as white as moonlight on snow upon Goldilocks' trembling arm.
 Dearest" she said. "do this and I will unlock to you all the secrets of the Sunrise Mountains"
 Suppose" asked Goldilocks, "that Malenoto should turn me to stone?"
 "She can do you no harm when you have the opal ring; nor can she take the ring from you if you do not touch her, even when you are on the magic squares she has made as snares."
 T will try to save your sister, dear Queen" said Goldilocks, mot for any reward, but for love of you and the good fairies
 My messengers will go with you and warn you of dangers. All the good fairies will help you"
 When Goldilocks gave her brave promise every bird in Fairyland seemed to sing. Then, too, all the wonderful flowers on the Scarlet Meadows opened their lovely eyes. and the air was sweet with the choicest perfumes. Behold, now, also, every good fairy from the whole length and breadth of Fairyland was there. They came from the Palaces of the Veined Lilies, from all hooks and hiding places in the blissful country from Crocus Land to the Vale of the Kind ling Leaves.
 There were thousands of fairies.

 ''The tree" said the Queen sadly, ''is my sister, who was turned into the tree by the wicked Malenots. She can be restored to her proper shape only by good little girl like yourself, who has an opal"
 1T have an opal" said Goldilocks eagerly.
 Well" went on the Queen. "this is the only day in the year whe4 my sis ter can be saved; the day when the Silken Hooded Lily blooms. Perhaps you have come to save her."
 Is there a charm in an opal?"
 "Yes, in fairyland. We can make gold out of the pollen of the sunflower and silver from the moonlighted bub- bles that float, like little treasure laden ships, down lily margined rivers. But. although the wisest fairies, the master of the mines, who lives In the Blue Dia- mond Cave under the deep ocean, and the Spirit of the Flowers, who paints the hillsides in spring, have tried to make an opal, they have failed"
 Is Malenote dangerous to children?'

for the little baby sister and could not begin to do the few bits of washing Billie had had to help.
 Oftentimes as he went toward home with his feet aching and his little legs quite stiff from the long walk from house to house, he paused to watch the boys in their rough and tumble play and wondered why they liked to run and romp. He felt little bit im- patient when four or five chased glee- fully after the ball. One felt so com fortable sitting still or even standing on one foot. His unsatished child heart was getting dwarfed. He started out one morning with his eyes scarcely wide open. Billie had only sold 10 cents worth the day before. and that only helped them to d little bread and a very little meat. He had had a little of the remainder of the loaf for break fast, and he felt cold and pinched, and, child though he was, his heart ached when he knew the mother would have nothing to eat until he came home
 And he felt so discouraged. People did not want matches, and they did not want boys around. But what was he to do?
 Hello, Bill" some one said, coming up behind him.
 He turned around and stopped, boy fashion, holding the sack of matches carefully over his shoulder.
 "Ain't that bully top?"
 Billie looked at the little top longing ly and nodded his head.
 Sell any matches yesterday"
 "Only 10 cents," Billie said. Its no good"
 Billie's companion was sturdy little chap of IA, well fed and well clothed He did not know what it was not to have money in his pockets, nor to go without minceple and other things when he wanted them. He was a will full little body, but he was good and he stared straight at the poor little chap.

 ''I'll give you the top if you will. Ton just wait here and I'll be back"
 And he was off like a shot and al most before Billie had got through admiring the beauties of the new ton he was back, looking as ragged as Bil- lie himself.

Once when he pushed in an electric bell his thumb got caught and he couldn't get 1t out, and the bell rang so wildly that the whole family rushed to the door. And then they felt so sorry for his finger that they gave him 10 cents and would not take the matches.
 Three o'clock in the afternoon.
 We've sold every durn match" Billie's friend said triumphantly. Then he took out the money and counted it

 But his mother ought to know, and she said Billie was F.
 Billie bought matches "thirty-six punches for a quarter, wholesale he said-and sold them again. He wasn't very successful at it, because he was so tired most of the time, and he hadn't the heart to protest when people told him they did not want any. even where they did not shut the door in his poor little face.

 But you didn't keep none" said lit tie Billie, unable to appreciate the sit uation fully. Well, it was not mine," said the other. They weren't my matches, were they? You don't think I'd take your money that came from your matches, do you?" Billie's boy heart gave great bound as he saw the shining 10-cent pieces. But he was little doubtful. It didn't seem square, but his friends indignation seemed real, and he was wandering up the street and throwing rocks at a swiftly

with one James Patterson, robbed a half
drunken Swede named Holster OF SIS on
Wilmington, near First street. He was
not so drunk when they grabbed him by
the throat and stole his money but that

with blood at the time. The evidence was
