A Statue In Prison.

A certain noted artist long ago, hav-
ing made a faithful bust of a sitter,
found his work declined on account of
its ugliness, the subject refusing to be-
lieve it was a good likeness.
Every well, - said the artist. ''You
deny the likeness and refuse to take the
bust, and l accept the excuse -
He accordingly set up the bust in his
studio, surrounded by a small. card pa
per prison, gloomily painted over, On
which was inscribed, For Debt - The
portrait was so unmistakable that
everybody in town recognized it and
HOcked to the artists studio to eniox
his ingenious revenge. Soon the subject
came, passionately complaining of the
rldlcule to which he had been subjected
''Iou, sir?' said the sculptor '.Wh no
knows this ugly bust to be yours? There
is no name upon it, and You have ut
teriy denied its resemblance 1t is my
work. and l have right to do as 1 will
with it. -
''Oh. but 1 will pay you the price
and take it awayl'
But it has become sovaluable to me
by attracting the public that I cannot
part with it for less than twice my
original charge.
"WeI, l will take it at that price"
And SO the sculptor's debtor got himself
out OF prison. New York Times.

Shell hushes crimson; the one wish
OF her girlhood has been to possess
volume OF Tennyson all her own. Yet
now that she stands with the treasure
in her hand, a strange perversity
makes her feel more than half inclined
to thrust it back upon the donor.
ct is very kind of you, Bob and
Meg" she says, in a tone of angry i'm
patience; but I cannot think Of &C
cepting your present. Take it home
and keep it until you are grown up
then you will be able to understand
it,"
Don't you like it, them" queries
Bob, looking anxious and distressed.
Pa thought you would rather have a
book; but I'll tell him to send you a
watch instead"
This threatened alternative sounds
SO very alarming that Shell hastens to
explain to the children her detestation
of watches in general and her I'M
bounded admiration of poets.
What are you making such chat
ter and fuss about, SHELF" interposes
Ruby, crossing to her sisters side and
taking up the volume in dispute. ooh,

A Fortune In Cement.

An interesting story is told about a
Kansas cement mill. For years near
Mulvane there used to be large tract
of smoking prairie, - 1t was good graz
ing ground, but during and after rain
1T smoked, and no one knew the cause
until stranger quietly bought the tract
one day and announced that he had
fortune. The cement lies on the surface
and in great quantities, and is worth
$40 barrel-New York Tribune

CHAPTER X

A week has passed. Shell has grown
tired of her self-imposed solitude; the
big, bare, echoing rooms have be-
come hateful to her. Even the grounds
seem changed and unfamiliar. The
certainty that there is no chance of
interruption to her lonely musings, at
first SO delightful, now seems to fill
her usually cheerful spirit with a sense
of depression. Until robbed of all COM
partnership she never guessed what a
sociable creature she was. Happy

Ruby, little crestfallen.
1t certainly might if we wanted to

good-tempered laugh; but. as you
know, Ruby, l have a great dislike to
leaving home''
But, mamma, l think you require
change of air. persists Ruby with I'M
wonted affection. You have been suf-
fering so frightfully from neuralgia all

bracing. Why not take this cottage
for month or so? Change is good
