was told me by the governess who was
living with the Tolstoi family, and who
saw It with her own eyes, His little
daughter Sacha, ten years Old, had been
out in font of the house playing with one
of the peasant boys from the village.
They had quarreled and the boy had

running in to her father to complain Of
him, the tears coursing down her face.
'Oh, papa, whip this naughty boy"
The Count took her up on his lap and
wiped her eyes and reasoned with her
why, Sacha, what good would 1t do
to whip him? He struck you because
he was angry, hated So1. If l VIII p him

And this she actually did, and If know
anything Of human nature there was far
more chance Of trat bCys turning out a
good man than IL he had received the
whipping which he doub less deserved.
1t Is true that Tolls OF has used stout
language in criti~isirg the Church; but
tried by the standard Of love, did It not
deserve Il? If he receives the same treat

received. who were scourged and put out

Next day was Saturday. and the boys
all came to Roy's house to so chestnut

but all that Roy would answer was
Fun" and that was enough. The boys
knew that Roy had a good head on his
shoulders, and If he said Fun" it was
more than equal to Charley saying, Il
say, fellers, let's go up to the cave over
in the wintergreen lot. More fun an a
goat there"
1t was a jolly crew that piled into the
wagon. There were Roy and Charley and
Teddy Grey and Joe Sampson and Billy
Barton and Sam Mercy, and on the way
over they picked up Rufus.
Roy drove right up to the rock, and a
chorus of "Ohs" greeted the first sight
of the enlarged hole.
Roy said nothing, but Rufus said Huh,
we saw that yesterday. Didn't we, Roy?'
Yes"
"And Roy went in. Didn't you Roy?"
Yep"
Lets all go in" said several of the
boys. What you s'pose did it?''

Before any one could stop him he had
dropped into the cave.

there, and so was the gold-all but the

before they had gone mile. But Roy was
equal 90 the emergency. One had sug-
gested covering the load with bags, and
another had proposed making a cover of
boards, but Roy solved the problem with
one word
Dirt" said he.
And dirt they used. shoveling It up
until the cart seemed to be a load of
earth.
Then the six boys walked alongside as
bodyguard, ana Roy sat on the dirt and
drove. 1t took them three hours to go the
ten miles, and il was twelve O'Clock when
they reached the big jewelry store of
Roy's uncle. Joseph Starr.
he was just about shutting up, as it
was Saturday afternoon, but when Roy
shook hands with him and said Load
or fairy gold" his uncle. who wasted
words as little as his nephew and who
valued them in proportion said, En-
ter this Eard."
He had yard where ell goods were
received. 1t had a high board fence
around 1t, so that loiterers would not
be excited by the sight of the Jewels and
precious stones that come to the store
IN .arge quantities
Fie was delighted to see such a huge
amount of gold, and he himself drove the
cart on TO the scales and weighed cart,
earth and gold Then the gold was re-
moved, and he weighed the earth and the
cart and deducted their weight from the
total and that gave the weight of the
gold Roy thought II would have been
easier to weigh the gold by itself, but
he said nothing
Then Mr.. Starr told the boys to come
INTO the store. He made some calcula-
tons on piece of paper. and then went
to his safe and took out seven bundles
of greenbacks, which he handed to Roy.
Each bundle was worth $4,000
Thanks" said Roy, and gave a bundle
to each one of the boys. who hid it in
his blouse. Now. boys, hurry home be-
fore you're robbed, and don't spend all the
money on candy" said Mr.. Starr, and the
boys piled into the cart and started for
Plainville. All the stores were closed,
or they would have spent some of the
money at once, but they were full OF
what they were going to do with it, and
when they passed Plainville poorhouse,
Roy took up contribution, and they left
$4,000 with the matron, who thanked them
kindly. and said, Every little helps"
and then went indoors to distribute II
among the inmates.
They stopped at the cave on the way
back, but, although the light was glow
ing, there was no more gold.
But l dare say that IL they spend the
money wisely they will find more in the
cave when it is all gone.

Helen Keller's View Of Joe Jefferson 8
Fishing.

Joe Jefferson, according to James s..
Metcalfe in The Ladies' Home Journal
for July, does not care fer the sport to
be found in angling for amber-jack In
the waters at Palm Beach, Florida.
"Thereis no attraction to me in that
kind Of fishing" he says; "the fish are
not good to eat, and killing them is
purely wantOn. Of course 1 catch
more fish than I can eat-my appetite
not being large one-but they 60 to
the Captain as a sort of perquisite.
What he can't use he sells, and event.
ualiy they are eaten by some one.
And that reminds me that Helen
Keller once asked me how I justified
my killing 80 many fish. I explained
to her that the fsh is naturally cam
nlbal and is constantly killing other
fish-hundreds of 'em-and SO, by kill
Ing one fish, / save the lives of hum

humane reason then that you catch

defense of his favorite pastime.

Sand.
Augusta Chronicle.

Nothing is more deceptive to the
casual Northern tourist than Southern
sand. Florida sand produces oranges
OF unequaled quality and best OF garden
truck. When the Seaboard Air Line was
pushing its track construction through
North Carolina, beyond Raleigh toward
Atlanta, a French laborer, in what was
then considered hopeless desert, curl
ously examined the sand and discover
ed that it was precisely the soil from
which his native country produced its
finest grapes. This Frenchman COM
municated his ideas to the engineer in
charge, who, at first, was inclined to
think the man demented. The French
man asked permission to 60 to Balti-
more and talk with Mr.. John NJ. Rob
inson, then president of the road. 1t
was granted, and Mr.. Robinson listen
ed attentively and gave the man and
some OF his fellow-countrymen passes
to the North Carolina reputed desert.
and they settled there. Lack of mon
ev made their habitation there q par
tial failure, but they demonstrated on
a small scale that grapes and peaches
and berries grew there in a wonderful
way. At last the Frenchman induced
Western man of experience In horti-
culture to visit the place, and the
Westerner said: eff you can send me
box of ripe grapes grown here by the
! LIST of June will develop this coun-
try" The grapes were duly shipped,
the man returned, bought thousands
| acres of sand land and planted vine
wards and fruit trees.
