A Spiders Musical Ear.

During the entire summer until
late in the autumn q large black
hunting spider (Lycosa) dwelt in my
piano. When I played anlante move
ments softly she would come out on
the music rack and seem to listen.
Her palpi would vlbrate with almost
inconceivable rapidity, while every
now and then she would lift her an
terror pair Of legs and wave them to
and fro and up and down. Just as
soon, however, as I commenced a
march or galop she would take to her
heels and flee away to her den soile-
where in the interior of the piano,
where she would sulk until I enticed
her forth with "Traumerei" or Hsn-
del's Largo. From DIR. Wier's

but there was some danger-something
wrong with Nannette. The dream was
most persistent. II would not leave
him.
Nannette and Keene had grown up
together in Cedarville. They had been
lovers. according to village gossip.
since they played together as children
in the sandheaps in Mother Morse's
garden. Since DIR. Coulson came to
town there had been a growing cold
ness between the two. The doctor
had been very attentive to Nanette.
Sherman Keene resented this and had
demonstrated with Nannette, but the
little school teacher had taken offense
and in words more hasty than wise
had sent Keene about his business. re-
minding him that she was still mis-
tress Of her own actions. Keene had
avoided her since that time and she.
perhaps to show that she did not care.
had encouraged the attentions OF the
gallant doctor. At all events. It was
with DR.. Coulson as escort that she at
tended many of the socials and enter
tainments that winter. Keene loved
Nannette with all the deep feeling OF
his sturdy manly nature, but he felt
that she had been in the wrong In
their quarrel and feared a taunting
repulse II he should attempt to REIN
state himself. II Nannette preferred
the doctor rather than himself he
would not try to interfere. II Nam
nette cared only for him, surely she
would acknowledge her fault some
day and all would be well again. At
any rate, Keene would not intrude
where he was not wanted. As for
Nannet.e. she seemed to be enjoying
herself.
Keene dreamed on as he sat before
the open fire. and It was not until the
first gray light OF morning peeped in
at the windows that he awoke. He
was surprised to fnd himself still In
the armchair and the vague thought
Of his dream, 'something wrong with
Nannette." still haunted him. The
wind was still bowling about, and tho
drifting snow swirled and clattered
about the windows. When he looked
out at the storm he cried out in aston
ishment. Never before had such sight
presented itself in Cedarviile. Great
mountains OF snow were piled UP In
every direction, the Morse's cottage
could not be seen for the drifting snow
and the little red schoolhouse up ON
the mountain side was buried all but
the chimney. As Sherman Keene
looked with wide-eyed astonishment
on the work of the blizzard. he seemed
to feel voice telling of something
wrong, some danger for Nannetts.

A frank and somewhat artless state
ment of what is being done in the line
of burning the farms of the Beers is
made by a correspondent of the Pail
Mall Gazette at Johannesburg. This
enterprising. person wishes to form a
company to buy up the farms of the
Beers and sell them to English settlers.
The properties can be bought for a
mere trife. The reason why, as given
by this speculative correspondent. is
Instructive. When the Boer prisoners
of war return they will find in nine
cases out of ten that their homesteads
have been burned down and scarcely q
head of stock left" They will be des-
titute and their only hope of subsis-
tence will be in the sale of their land
for whatever a speculative company
may choose to give.

The rain had poured in torrents all
day Sunday and that night the resi-
dents of Cedarville were lulled to
sleep by the never ceasing patter, pat
ter and drip. drip OF the storm. Mon
day morning the wind veered suddenly
into the north and blew a hne. light
snow into the faces OF the children
who were hurrying to the district
school on the mountain road. BY
noon the snow was falling 80 thick
and fast that big bob-sled was sent
up from the railroad for all the able
bodied men who could work to keep
the tracks open.
There were only two young men In
the village who had work enough
OF their own to keep them at home.
Sherman Keene. the village black
smith. and DR.. Abner Coulson. Not
that DR.. Coulson was particularly
busy. he had only made his appear
ence in Cedarville a few months be-
fore. but he could hardly be expected
to participate In a snow-shoveling
bet.
The wind rose steadily all the after
noon and the storm settled down into
genuine blizzard. Long before dark
1t was apparent that the men who had
gone to help clear the railroad could
not return that night. Keene closed
the smithy early and made things
snug at home for the comfort OF his
widowed mother and himself. Then
he made his way with difnculty
through the storm to some OF the
neighbors. whose men-folks had gone
with the bob-sled party, and helped
them with the evening chores. On his
way home he looked In at the widow
Morse, who had come to the door to
greet him. and had seen that she was
provided with plenty of wood and wa
ter against Wild, stormy night He
would not have stopped had Nannette
been at home. but she had not yet re-
turned from the school on the noun
tain road. where she guided the youth
full minds OF Cedarville through the
tangled paths of "readin'. writin' and
I 'rithmetic."
That night. while the storm howled
hercely without. Sherman Keene sat
In his comfortable armchair and oozed
before a great fire of blazing logs on
the hearth In his sitting-room. Widow
keene had long since sought her bed.
Keene dreamed OF Nannette. and In
his dream she was always In danger.
