The 0VigiIant Dragon"

Nervous folk will welcome the so
called "vigilant dragon which is not
unlike a small brass shelled tortoise. 1t
is, In fact, a dome gong table bell, with
spiked legs, and with a spiked dragons
head. When a bedroom door is closed
the spikes are placed in the floor and
against the door and then the dragons
tail just touches the floor. This tall
is connected with the bell clapper, so
that if any one endeavors to open the
door from outside an obstacle is met
with, and the alarm given. When the
anxious watches OF the night are over
the 'vigilant dragon" becomes a re-
poseful bell for the writing table.
Good will is a quality you should try
TO cultivate In your rich old uncle.

soon His strict honesty was frequent
ly imposed upon. He tried other things.
but his efforts were always unsuccess-
full. He had gone steadily downward,
and now at 80. sick, broken-spirited,
hopeless, and almost penniless, he looked
what he was. a dispirited. heart-broken
man, old before his time.
Five years ago he had sent Marvia
Belknap her freedom. He was a proud
as well as an humble man. and would
not ask her to accept poverty; for even
then he was losing hope. Since then he
had heard of her falling heir to a large
fortune, and later of a trip abroad. Only
a short line ago, when the Big Penny
seemed TO offer hattering prospects, be
fore his Illness. he had seen a Boston
newspaper which mentioned her as beng
present at some social function at the
Hub, and she was still unmarried. He
had dared hope little then. If the Big
Penny should turn out well. She had
loved him once, and she was still unmar-
ried Buzz now
He groaned aloud and his quiyering
lips whispered brokeny:
