A WOman's Invention

When an alarm of fire is rung up in any of our large cities, and the en- zines of but one district are called out, there is an expense to the depart ment for fuel and wear and tear of the apparatus estimated at $1OO per alarm. The turning in of a false alarm is therefore no trifing matter. and the perpetrator of the joke" mer- it's condemnation. Miss Ellen E. Tyn- dale, q London woman, has patented an invention which is meant to check the false alarmist and put an end to his pernicious activity. The contriv- ance takes the form of an automatic alarm post which not only rings up the fire station, but also grips the wrist of the alarmist with a steel bracelet, blows a police whistle and presents the man with a shilling for his trouble. The prisoner cannot be released until policeman arrives and the authenticity of the alarm can be verified. The invention is not likely to become popular in this country, where men would not be willing to be chained to a post in a public street, even for the magnificent compensation of 25 cents.-Scientific American.

Black will give her back the money when he knows what l want it for"
 "Oh, how lovely of you!"
 "Isn't that beautiful of her?" the girls chorused admiringly, and Tom my Trott got red in the face and walked off over to the other corner of the yard, winlling to the boys to follow him-and they did, even though there wasn't bit of shade there and the big thermometer stood at 9S de- grees,
 Tommy whispered to his cronies, and they grinned and chucllled and nudged each other, and hunted in their pockets, and Tommy lugged out a big leather pouch, and Jim Brastow got out pencil and paper and wrote down the names of every boy who put in something in one column, and the names of every boy who promised something in another column-that was pretty short column because every boy had his Fourth of July mon- ey, for the Fourth was only two days off, and they'd been saving ever since Christmas. After awhile Jim Bra ow got all the names written down, then he put his pencil in his pocket and Tommy pulled the strings of his pouch up as tight as he possibly could Git was

and her poor aunt is almost distract ed, for though the hospital people will find her Q home for d week or per- haps two, there would be no one to take care of her, and two weeks would not be long enough"
 Then the twins strengthened up and walked away without even stopping to beg for a kiss, and every one of Miss Swinton's admirers followed them, and Miss Swinton sat there looking after them with a queer little half-puzzled smile.
 'I wonder what bee those children have got in their bonnets now," she said to herself.
 Meanwhile Dottie and Tottie, as everybody called them, though their real names were Sarah Josephine and Amelia Ann, walked straight down to the playground, and all the primary scholars followed them, and they found all the big girls and kindergar- ten tots waiting for them in the shade under the big elm.
 What did she say?" cried the big gest girl.
 'ls it all true-every bit?" anxious ly asked the very littlest one.
 The twins nodded solemnly and Dot tie cried:
Newport weekly independent., 1901-07-05

Do you want me to buy them for you so you can celebrate here at school?"
 "Oh, mol" please!" cried Dottic; give 1t to Sallie Manson and then"
 'And then you can go away"
 And have a Nacation--"
 And Sallie'l get we'll"
 And you won't get tired out and d-i-e-e," finished the twins together, throwing four chubby arms round Miss Swinton's neck and bursting into tears, while they hugged her till they almost chollcd her to death.
 When she could get her breath, Miss Swinton thanked them all in such sim pie. earnest words that even the lit tleSt child understood how good and brave and kind she thought they were. Then she kissed all the girls and shook hands with all the boys-and a proud CT, happier lot of children never danced and made merry in the town hall on any Fourth of July than the Thompson twins and their classmates.
 To be sure, there weren't any fire works or refreshments. But the hap pV face of Sallie'S aunt, as she thanked them all for the chance of life they had given her little niece, was better than all the fireworks in the world; and when Mir. Sutphen made them 8 speech and told them how proud he was of the ooyS and girls of Ward Five, it filled their hearts so full that mo- body thought of refreshments.
 And did the big, big boys and girls in Mir. Sutphen's own school do any thing to help?
 Why, of course they did! You didn't suppose they would let the little ones get ahead of them in generosity, did you?
 And between the two schools they raised a little over $20O. So you see there was enough to let Miss Manson go with Sallie to take care of her, and when she came back in the fall, just before Thanksgiving, "stingy old Barker" told her aunt she might bring Sallie to stay with her until her uncle came back.
 ""Tain't likely she'll eat enough to bankrupt me-" he muttered. Any how, l ain't goin' to let no passel of children git ahead of me-"
 In spite of the absence of fireworks, and lemonade, and ice cream, all the children-boys and girls too-agNed that they'd never had so jolly a Fourth of July before, but they changed their minds the next year.
 What happened? Oh, you can guess, can't you? Well, I'll help you out q little. I'll just whisper two or three words in your ear--"Sallie's uncle klondike! e!"-Ladies' World, New York.

so full he couldn't get it very close to- gether), and they all marched over in body, keeping step like soldiers, and stopped in front of the Thompson twins.
 (Iou had to stop in front of both of them, because they were always just as close together as they could possibly get.)
 Miss Dottie Thompson and-and- young ladies'" began Tommy Trott, with a defiant and yet bashful glance at Aggie Davis. You have slandered and insulted us boys by saying we couldn't be generous and self-sacrific- ing, and us boys want you to know that there's all our Fourth of July money-in a bunch-and us boys want to know where's yours-and you can have it all and welcome. And as my father says: Now put up or shut up!' And we wish it was more-and we don't want anybody to die and now Miss-s-s-Swint can go on her vacation--and-a -and-that's all." And with a very red face Tommy turned and tried to bolt.
 But Aggie Davis was too quick for him. She caught him by the front of his jacket with one hand, and with her eyes full of tears and her pretty face all flushed with surprise and joy, she held out the other hand to him, crying:
 Shake hands, Tommy. I'll take it all back. Boys can be generous and self-sacrificing and smart too, Tom my" Then she laughed a little and Tommy twisted away, and with shout of: Come on, fellers!" ran down to the fence and jumped over it-three times-standing jump, and it was most as high as Tommy's head, too.
 Nobody stopped to play on the way home that noon. Everybody ran just as fast as their legs could carry them that is-everybody but the Thomp- son twins. They walked very slowly indeed, weighed down by the respon- sibility of taking care of all that money.
 Miss Swinton, when she went to the window at five minutes past 12, won dering at the unusual silence, opened her eyes in astonishment. Not boy or girl was in sight except the Thomp- son twins, and they were slowly and carefully turning the corner.
 That afternoon when school opened Dottie and Tottie walked up to Miss Swinton's desk and carefully laid on it two open boxes. One was nearly full of pennies, five-cent bits, dimes, quar- ters and halves, and one big silver ''cartwheel." In the other reposed a leathern pouch from whose open mouth issued a perfect stream of varied coins.
 "Yessum,'' said Dottie, in answer to an inquiring glance from her teacher. ''They're from us-it's the money for our firecrackers-"
 And lemonade and ice cream" put in Tottie.
 And why do you bring it to me?
Newport weekly independent., 1901-07-05

"And I most know that lovely Miss Swinton is going to give up her vaca tlon and spend the money for that poor sick Sallie-and she didn't ought to, COS she's all run down anyway, my mother says, and first thing she knows she'll be sick herself" and Dottie looked mournfully round on her com panions and gave a pathetic little sniff.
 And whatever should we do if Miss Swinton d-i-e-d," dolefully mourned Tottie.
 By ythistime allth Kindergarten tots and more than half of the Primaries fling, and even the big girls looked red eyed and mournful.
 ''And my mamma said that Fourth of July would be here day after to- morrow, and I'd have some money then-all my own-and I asked her if I might and she said: 'Yes.'"
 Might what?''
 ''What did you ask herr"
 'How much money will yoH have?"
 What did she say?"
 ''Is it all your own?"
 Dottie looked around with the ap- proving self-conscious sr.rile that comes from superior virtue, and Tot tie answered for her sister:
 "Of course it's all our own and mamma said yes-we might give it to Salie Manson-and I said I was going to ask everybody to give theirs too, and then maybe Miss Swinton would n't have to stay at home and di-e."
 Dottie nodded solemnly and looked eagerly around.
 Its the Fourth of July money" she said, eXplanatorily. "The money we'd spend for frecrackers and torpedoes and lemonade and going to Boston to see the balloon"
 "And the soldiers" chimed in Tottie.
 "And the fireworks" finished Dot tie. Mamma says it's always half dollar apiece, and most always more, and she'll give us that, anyway. and papa says maybe he'll chip in, too."
 Do you mean you're going to give up your firecrackers and torpedoes TOT the EOuIln. dShtu d DlS DON, incredulously. Huh, you would be a fool!"
 Dottie turned on him.
 "Yes, I am," she snapped. "Guess I'd rather never, never see a firecrack CT again than to have my dear Miss Swinton d-i-c-e," and the blazing blue eyes filled with tears at the mere thought.
 Or poor little Sallie Manson, either," snapped Tottie. Don't mind him, dear," cried Aggie Davis, the prettiest of the big girls. Boys are mean things anyway. They couldn't be self-sacrifcing if they tried. We girls will all help you, Dot tie. We can give up things that we like better than boys like firecrach- CTS, and I'm going to ask mamma to take back kthat lovely blue sunshade she bd ught me yesterday-I guess MT.

 ee dergarten and the Primary and the two lowest classes in the Grammar. The other for the seven higher classes. Miss Swinton was the principal of the lower school and Mir, Sutphen the principal of the higher. Two such popular teachers had never been known in Abingdon, strict and firm yet gentle and kind popular with everyone and univer- sally respected. Miss Swinton always had an adoring circle of girls, yes, and boys, too, around her at recess-time To-day there was more than the usual crowd-but they stood little way back, and only the Thompson twins leaned on her chair, one on each side of her, and fingered her chain and rings and looked up ador- lngly into the kind brown eyes.
 Dear Miss Swinton, was that story you told us yesterday all true, every bit of it?"' asked Dottie.
 "And is the little girl going to die if she can't get away by the salt water?" cried Tottie.
 And did her father die down in Cuba?''
 And did her mother go out to nurse her father and catch the fever and die. too?"
 And is her auntie sick and lame so she can't work for money, but only get home and clothes for work ing for that stingy old Barker?"
 Ssh! Sh! Dottie-you mustn't''-be- gan Miss Swinton, but Dottie hurried out her question so quickly she had no time to say any more.
 And is her uncle way up in the Klondike, and-and-''
 Then both chimed in together:
 And is he all the relation she's got, and don't they know where he is and will she die-certain sure-be- fore they could possibly find him?''
 Miss Swinton had been bobbing her head in answer to all these questions so fast that she looked good deal like Chinese mandarin-and now when the twins stopped to take breath she answered:
 Yes, yes, my dears, it is all true, every bit of it. Dear little Sallie Man son is so very, very weak that the doctor says she can never get well unless she can get away for month at least to the seashore and have good, nourishing, wholesome food,
