How He Knew
A Story by Frank E. Graetf.

The examination week had been
full of anxiety to the children,
, but at last the lessons were all
finished, and today Alice and
Lawrence were to receive their
averages for the term, and upon
them depended their promotion.
If they made an average of 70 or
more they would be promoted,
but If they made over 80 they
would pass as number one. They
could hardly wait to know.
Papa and mama, too, were very
much interested and anxious to
know the result; and Uncle Ben,
iE the city, had promised each a
gold dollar if they were number
one. But papa was an engineer
on the express, and although their
home was near the railroad-not
more than so yards away-they
could not see him, for his train,
on its down trip to the city, stop
ped only a few minutes at mid
night at the station in the center
of the town, 80 he could not know
the result until the next day, on
his return trip. when he came
home for few hours.
eve don't want you to have to
wait go long to know" said Alice.
eff you knew on your way to
the city tonight you could tell
uDcle Ben, and bring the gold
pieces with you tomorrow-if we
pass number one - eagerly added
Lawrence.
Twelve O'Clock is too late for
us to stay up, and besides it is
too far to the station" said mama,
$50 l suppose papa will have to
wait until he comes homes to-
morrow"
"But Uncle Ben Is going away
tomorrow to New Orleans, and
will not be back until September,
and we would like him to know,
80 he could send the gold pieces
with papa, for it would be so long
to wait until he comes back from
the SOUTH" said Lawrence.
go, children, don't set your
hearts too much on the gold piec-
es your Uncle Ben has promised
for you may not pass mum her
one,yOu know :" cautioned mama.
81 have a plan," said papa, "for
L am quite anxious to know"
You dear old papa, it is just
like you to help uo out :" said
Alice. Now tell US your plan"
"WeIl," said papa, you know
those old red and green lanterns
up in the storeroom that | used
when ! was a brakeman? The
red one shall be AEce's and the
green one Lawrence's. If you
pass, light them tonight and hang

you Qao' number one hang them

the lanterns were brought from
the storeroom and cleaned and
filed, aid soon stood ready on
the kitchen mantel to announce
to papa the result Of the exami-
nations. Nails were also driven
in to the window frame and the
front porch post before they went
to school that morning, SO that
everything should be in readi-
ness.
At noon two happy children.
flushed with excitement, rushed
into the house, crying triumph
antly, "We passed number one
Let's hang out the lanterns - and
then both made a dash toward
the kitchen.
"Oh, children, wait a little !!
There is no use hanging out the
lanterns until we 20 to bed," said
mama, as she kissed them.
Nov you go out on the porch, "
said mama, after she had quieted
them, land you remain there un-
til l get luncheon ready, when l
will call you"
Then mama took down the best
dishes and the silver and the
finest tablecloth from the side
board, and set the table just as
she did for company. Then from
the pantry she brought a large
cake, and quickly outlined on It's
brown surface with white icing :
Number 1, 1908.
"Now come, children !" called
mama.
"Oh! Oh !" they cried when
they saw the table, and all the
nice and good things on it.
What a long afternoon it was
But at last the sun set and the
night came on, and when the
clock struck nine they lighted the
lanterns and hung them out at
mama's bedroom window, and
after & ding down into the yard
an then into the street, to see
how they looked, they went to
bed, knowing that when papa
passed by in his engine he would
surely see them.
They could hear the freight and
passenger trains pass, and tried
hard to keep awake until the
1902, drawn by old zone hundred
and ninety nine," was due, but
long before ten o'clock they were
fast asleep. They slept soundly,
and it seemed as if it must be
morning when they were startled
from dreams to hear the whistle
blowing.
Whew whew whewl whew
whew! sounded the whistle in
two short, and then three long
blasts, like this: - -

TRADE CONDITIONS

Briskness In Nearly All Lfnes--Un-
precedented Consumption OF Goods.
NEW YORK, Feb. 28.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'s weekly review of trade says:
Mflder weather not only accelerated
the demand for many lines of merchan-
disc, but relieved the pressure for fuel,
which threatened to become serious
matter, and incidentally facilitated eff
forts to reduce the freight congestion.
With no other retarding feature than
the holiday, business fully maintains
its gratifying position. Returns of both
domestic and foreign trade are fully
equal to those of the same month last
year, and in many cases there are mark
ed gains. The people are consuming on
a scale never before equaled, as evil
denced by the enormous distribution
and continual inquiries for prompt ship
testimony to the fact that demand is
often greater than supply.
Increased interest has been displayed
by purchasers of all products of iron
and Steel giving decidedly firmer
tone to the market, and in many in
stances quotations have advanced.
Western receipts of wheat aggre-
gated only 2,5O9,610 bushels for the
week compared with 1854, $40 bushels
