Sweetheart and I had many adventures
together, but there was one pleasure
which l had hitherto kept to myself

had never yet let her see the sunrise.
Now, | am a professional seer Of SUM-
rises, not having missed above dozen or
SO in as many years. There are few tales
that sweetheart likes so well as to hear
me tell of some of these in various quar-
ters of the world.
"Tell about the man in Africa what
wouldn't put the photograph box on his
camel No, that isn't the way. 1t be-
gins, His name was Muhammed Ali
Mustapha Ibharim el Raschid.' Yes, in
deedy; you said so last time, and you
mustn't make it up as you 60 along, but
tell it right"
Or it might chance to be "the story OF
the man who climbed the cocoanut tree
to get you some milk when you were
thirsty-or, no. about how Dog Royal
took you in swimmin and made you play

and you promise you won't tell'-
"Yes, yes, father-I will mean I
won't-tell me what it Is we are goin to
do, and I'll be as good as, oh-that!'
And sweetheart opened her arms to
their fullest extent in order to express
the measure of her goodness.
"Perhaps-I don't say l will. But
if"-
Get on, father! You talk so slow
when little girl is watin"'
Perhaps tomorrow you might see a
sunrise for yourself!
"Oo-oo-ooh Can L? I wish 1t were

"But you must, or I shall not tako

spiders That Hunt Fish.

There are certain large sea spiders, two
feet from toe to toe, called Collosendeis
gigas, that live in the water and feed
entirely upon mollusks and worms.
The carnivorous wolf spider, an am
phibious inhabitant of the tropical re-
gions of South America, is said to prefer
a fish diet, though it is not averse to eat
ing mice, young birds and even snakes,
resembling in this respect the theraphosi-
dae or bird catching spiders of India and
Queensland, some Of which equal rat
in size.
The collosendeis is the most formidable
specimen of the spider family, measuring
six inches around the body and possess

grips its 6nny prey. 1t attacks fish sew

the suns path, "as If the horrid things

said. Then she grew little frightened
at the image she had conjured up.
"But they won't, will they, father?'
This little girl has always a fear lest
some great pleasure, long looked forward
to, should escape her at the pinch. Pres
emily new terror struck. her.
"Docs he go off with a bang, like the
gun on the castle at lunchtime!" she
asked, and she caught my hand and held
it very firmly, to be ready Sin case"
l reassured her on this score, and we
waited. We had not, however, long to
wait nova red rim, a sort of hush as
the hilltop whirled into the westerly
bound wave Of light, our shadows rushed
out 30 yards behind us, and the sun rose!
AT the same moment black cloud of
rocks was flung high into the air from
the woods about the hall and drifted
noisily away toward the turnip fields.
Sweetheart did not say word till all
was over. Then she drew long breath
of raptest pleasure.

said at last.
Alas, that such thing should be in a

But certain it is that ON this particular
morning sweetheart's prayers were com
pounded for by the stirring strains of

Sand now," said sweetheart. with a
sharp change Of expression, "l'ze hun

We sat down by crystal spring in the
high, brave morning air, and never did
breakfast taste better. We took bite
about Of the sandwiches, and when it
came to drinking time followed my
palms, and sweetheart drank daintily out
Of that cup as q bird drinks at foun-
tain's edge.
Then we went down, shouting aloud to
awake the mountain echoes. The great
things of the world are quiet. But we
did not want to be great, only to be hap
py, SO we climbed back again into the
road, with its fine dust drenched and laid
with the dew.
At the turn of the road on little patch
of grass a tramp family had encamped.
There were a father, mother, with a
and little girl who rose at sight OF us
and ran toward sweetheart.
"We are awful hungry" she said. 1--WE
have had naething to eat since yesterday
morning"
'The shops are not open," said sweet
heart, rising TO the occasion, "but come
with me, and I'll find somethin in the
pantry"
So the ragged little girl trotted along
after us, every now and then with a re-
assuring air, as much as to say: "He's
all right. He looks very imposing; but,
bless you, it's all put on'
In this manner we came to the house
Of our lodgment. The door was as we
had left it. Not soul stirred within.
This was strange.
1t seemed the middle of the forenoon
to us. Sweetheart entered and after a
while emerged with the ham bone, knuc-
ky indeed, but in spots capable Of repay
ing attention. To this were added half a
loaf, large pat of butter and an un-
opened tin of cavare, all the necessaries

From Sylvan Valley News, Bragard, NC.
1t may be question whether the

to publicly recommend any of the

: tive of suffering we feel it duty
to say "A good word for Cham ber-
lain's Colo, Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy. We have known and
used this medicine in our family
for twenty years and have always
found it reliable. In many cases 81

that if bottle Of Cham berlain's

ing might be avoided and in very
