THE LADY IN THE GRAY FURS.
BY TEST DALTON.

therefore a luxury. In time he picked up bits of English and several American habits, and his greatest delight was locking at the beautiful ladies on the avenue.
 One cold night beautiful lady in gray furs gave him a dollar, and Tito never forgot her face or the perfume of vioIets, which reminded him of the little town hear Genoa. Tito in time became attached to his new country, and ambition deepened within him. He determined that some day he, too, would be an American citizen and perhaps own a fruit stand, and then little Blacenta, who lived next door, would marry bin.; but this was all visionary. He awoke to reaiza ton when four newsboys stepped in front of him.
 'Let's take the monk from the Dago." said one.
 Tito was frightened, and hugged Checko closer, but Checko, being a monkey, only grinned. Then Tito backed against a wall, but the boys closed in on him and tore Checko from his arms. In an instant Tito was all ahame and gave hoarse shout of anger. In the meantime poor Checko had been fighting for his liberty, and had bitten one of his tormentors. The boy screamed and dropped the monkey, then they all stamped him to death, and Tito heard the last cry of his little friend.
 They had loved each other for years, and Tito stood alone and cold. Tears came to his eyes, but he was very calm.

MOON TALES OF MANY LANDS.

When the boys and girls of Germany are asked what they see in the moon they answer just as American children:
 "Why a man, of course. He was sent there for punishment, and must stand for ever with bundle of sticks on his back, be- cause he was wicked enough to gather fagots on Sunday.
 But the Chinese little people would be quite surprised to hear that story. They would tell you that rabbit, and not man, lives Tn the moon. They are quite sure of 1t, because once, long ago, a little boy in China was sent to bed without his supper because he had not used his chopsticks prop erly, and so spilled rice over his clean blouse.
 Then, as he lay in bed with the moon shining on him and crying because he was so hungry, tiny hand touched him and a kind voice said:
 Here, little boy, is bowl of rice. The rabbit in the moon sent 1t to you"
 Little An Lee jumped up and ran to the window.
 "Oh," he cried, Ifs there rabbit in the moon?'
 E'To be sure" was the answer. Cant you see him? He is pounding his rice in a bowl"
 Then little An Lee pressed his face against the window and looked very hard
 "I see him. he cried joyfully. What nice, kind rabbit he must be-
 Since then every little Chinese boy has been able to see this rabbit, too.
 When the little Hottentot, the funny Iit- tie brown boy, who lives in far away Africa and who greases his face instead of washing it, and never combs hs hair asks his mother about the moon this is the story she tells him:
 One day the moon said to the hare: "Go to the earth and tell the people that just as I rise again after dying away shall they die and again come to life
 But the stupid hare did not carry the kind message right. He told the people that the moon boasted that she rose again but that they died forever. When the moon heard this she was very angry She took an axe to cut off the hare's head, but the axe missed and only cut his lip open Ever since then the hare's children have a "hare lip" The pain of the cut made the hare so wild that he flew at the moon and almost scratched her eyes out The black scars on the moons face are the marks of the hare's claws.
 Quite different story is told to the children of Iceland.
 When Jack and Jill fell down the hir they say, the moon picked them up She wiped away Jill's tears and patched Jacks crown Then, taking one under each arm she flew up to the sky again. There they draw water for her, and sometimes their buckets tilt over and the water spills Then the people on earth say 1t rains.
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1903-11-28

Tito was frightened and held Checko closer to him, but Checko, being monkey who had travelled in many lands before coming into the hands of the Italian boy, only grtnned and showed no sympathy.
 It had been a great and wonderful trip from Genoa to America and as Tito thought of the little village ia the hills hanging over the blue bay a sob almost escaped from him, but 1t was only for a moment. He passed through the gate which gave approach to the park and saw, surely, more people than the whole 9f his village contained, and he heard on all sides many Italian dialects. Then suddenly his uncle rushed out from the crowd and embraced him. When they gtarbed down the walk crowd of boys fol lowed shouting and jeering, but Tito was go surprised at the great mountains of shops that he was obIivious to all else. His uncle seemed to like the notoriety of his nephew, and ChecRo took on a serious look at the new and strange sights.
 It was all very wonderful and interesting as they walked up the great avenue, then east underneath the stone bridge which spanned the street and showed the green space in the distance. Then Tito made Checko don a little red cap; and in a few moments they found themselves quite at home in second park. The next day the boy went out with his organ and came back at night with the money, but 1t all went to Tito's uncle, for the boy was a relative and
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1903-11-28

In an instant he whipped out a knife and stabbed one of the boys. The other chree would have killed him had not a police man lnterfered at that moment.
 They were all four locked up, and the next day the story appeared in the papers The judge was for sending Tito to the re- fCrm school, as the stab proved to be only a slight scratch. Tito would probably have been deprived of his liberty had not the lady in the gray furs read the story and, hazarding that this might be the !lttle Italian boy. whom she had befrlended, come down to the court and seen to It that Tito was released and that punish ment was meted to the other boys.
 She was a good friend to the Italian boy and started him out in life again. and he always thought of her when he dreamed that Checko was still alive, and That was very often. Tn time his grief passed away, for Biacenta was taking up most of his time, and one fine day he did own fruit stand, then store, and finally Biacenta helped him to serve his customers. In time he owned a bank and became a power In the quarter. But in his life there was something lacking, and people won dered why he went down to the Barge Office each week.
 He looked in vain for what he sought for Tito never forgot. Each evening he

Now, you see that there are three ways in which we can count nine with the pen nfes thus placed. First, the stem of the cross, from the top straight down to the bottom, counts nine. Second, count from the bottom to the cross line, thence out to the right Third, count from the bottom
 The puzzle is to take two oi the pennies off the table and leave the rest in such position that you may count nine in three ways with them.
 We might stop here and let you work out the puzzle for yourself, but as you will be sure to want the right answer so that you may use 1t to amuse your friends, we give 1t to you. All you have to do is to take one penny from each end of the cross line and move the top penny to the bottom.

that he was disappointed. After several years he one day saw a little boy come through the gate with a monkey in his arms. Surely 1t was Tito and Checko'
 He stepped up to the boy and said: Follow me, will take care of you and the monkey, and you will some day be rich"
 And the new Tito looked up into his face, and he held Checko closer to him, but Checko, being a monkey, only grinned. Then they followed their new master.

An alarm of fire was sounded about
5 80 Thursday morning for a supposed
blaze at the home of Frank w. Thomas,
on High street, but it proved to be only
the burning out of chimney. If it had
not been discovered by Mrs. Thomas a
serious fire mightIhave occurred. When
she discovered it the boards which cover
up the fire place (now not used were in
flames. She promptly aroused her hus-
band, who succeeded in putting out the
flames. Another alarm for the same
place was rung in about a. m. This
time the Hose company went, but their
assistance was not needed. The second
alarm was due to somebody seeing the
sparks coming from the chimney.
