A WALKING Fern.

Most ferns are confirmed travellers.
New fern leaves grow out from the un-
derground roots some distance away
from the old plant. The average OBJ
server scarcely notices this. but there
is native fern that steps off at so
lively a pace that its odd habit has
long furnished one of the unceasing
entertainments of the woods. The
walking fern often carpets lodges and
tops of shaded rocks. The slender,
tufted leaf fronds are singularly I'M
fernlike in appearance. They squirm
about and walk by declining their
taper tips to the soil and taking root
there and growing. In time clusters
of new leaf fronds spring from such
rooted tips. By and by some of these,
too. bite the earth and, taking root,
start still other colonies, which In turn
will continue the progress again and
again. Naturally, with the lapse of
time. the connection between the older
tufts and the younger becomes broken,
yet one sometimes finds series of three
or four linked together, representing as
many steps In the pretty ramble.-

SPELLING
SCHOOL
BY c. p. Lewis
Copyright, 1902, by tho
S. S. Mcclure Company

When the school board of district
No. 5, which included the hamlet of
Bebee's Corners. announced that they
had engaged a schoolma'am for the
winter term instead of a schoolmaster,
there was much wondering among the
farmhouseS as to how she would man
age things. For three successive win
tiers the schoolmaster had been thrash
ed by gang of bad boys. led by hulk
ing Joe Whitman, and folks predicted
that the new teacher would be picked
up. carried out and dropped into a
snowdrift the first day.
Seth Thomas. a young farmer, drove
over to the railroad station to meet
Miss Baker when her school was ready
to open, and his surprise was reflected
on all sides. She was a slip of a girl,
less than twenty years old and shy,
and this was her first school. She had
taken IT because her mother was an
invalid and her father had failed in
business, but that came out afterward.
That good looking. refined young wo-
man like Miss Baker should take a
country school at $25 a month instead
of getting married was a mystery no
one could solve.
Seth Thomas was twenty-three years
old. and he also was shy. During the
three mile drive the pair did not ex-
change hundred words Seth was
awed and scared by the girls good
looks. and she was frightened at com
ing among strangers. She was driven
to the Carsons'. where she was to
board. and she saw no more of Seth
for a fortnight. Her only remem-
brance of him was that he had a plain.
good natured face and a pleasant
voice.
During this fortnight Bob Graham
walked home with her from school on
several occasions. Jim Taylor made
two calls at the Carsons', Tom Lane
drove her to school one stormy morn
ing. and Charley Saunders. acknowl-
edged the most stylish young farmer
for five miles around. escorted her to
evening church services and home
again. Her school had started off
bravely. and she had no idea that it
was all owing to the bashfu Seth. He
had been afraid to call on her. but he
wasn't afraid to meet Joe Whitman
and his crowd the day before school
opened and to say to them:
Look here, now. You boys have
got to behave yourselves this winter.

A mining expert recently described a
lode as traversing "a metamorphic
matrix of a somewhat argllloarenace-
Gus composition" This means literally
"a changed mass of somewhat clayey-
sandy composition" This In its turn
may be translated into plain English
as mud.
Why choke puny fact with muir
derous polysyllables? Huxley and OAR
win. Lyell and Faraday could so write
as to be ''understanded of the people, ="
and there is a suspicion abroad in these
times that the big words SO freely used
by small men are device to conceal
ignorance and inexact thought rather
than proof of superior knowledge

about three years ago my sister was so
badly affected with heart trouble and neu-

to live. Although we had a first-class ply
stefan she grew worse under this tire atment.
She had a swollen dropsical look and had
frequent spells of neuralgia pain at her heart
when she would render the most heart-rend
ing means and shreks. At times the pain
would go from her heart to her head when a
lump would appear on her temple half as
large as an egg. One night she got up in
bed and ran into the back yard crying with
pain; she was not conscious of it, however,
and was brought back to the house by neigh
bors. bought for her bottle each of DR..

her greatly. She afterward used some five

cutlery rushed on the stage anu snouLeG
words meant to be calming to the audi
ence. They succeeded in a measure in
allaying the panic which was begin
ming to get under way, but many peo-
pie, overweight by the evenings hap
penings, rushed from the theater out
into the street. Then it was discovered
conclusively that there was no fire, but
that the scare raised by the cry had
added to the start already gained by
Gentleman George and his band.
BY noon on the day following the
sheriff was ready to start for the
haunts of Gentleman George with a
strong posse, when the mayor sent for
him and read this letter, found on his
doorstep that morning:
Dear Mr.. Mayor-A dastardly outrage
has been perpetrated on my good name
and incidentally on the people of your
city by the ruffians who held up the
Opera House last night. The person call
ing himself Gentleman George was only
an impersonator. l believe I know the
scoundrel and by the time you receive
this myself and a few trusty comrades
will be on his trail. The good citizens of
Oaktree cannot be more grieved than I
am over the regrettable occurrence of
last evening. To show you that 1 was not
the man who held up the Opera House 1
inclose you my latest photograph, made
in San Francisco. You can depend upon
It that the evildoers of last night will be
brought to Justice Yours in good faith,
GENTLEMAN GEORGE.
The sheriff did not like the cool, i'm
pertinent tone of the letter and thought
that, owing to his long immunity, Gen
tleman George was inclined to Jest
with the township. The mayor thought
differently. 1t was. he said, very
courteous note. and he could not see
that it in any way reflected on the
town. Sides were taken, and the next
election was fought out largely on the
question of the good faith or other
wise of Gentleman George. Though
the election went in favor of the may
or and the upholders of Gentleman
George, to this day it has not been de
termined whether or not it was that
polished bandit who had held up the
Opera House.
