A Fairy Tale.

! Once there was an awful rich man.
| Thus far the story is one that can
be easily believed.
he hads much money that he grew
tired of making it.
Here the story begins to sound
fishy, but there is worse to come.
He began to devise ways and means
for getting rid of his wealth. The
first thing he did was to quit making
money.
This seems hard to believe, but you
are requested to make an earnest ef-
fort TO swallow it.
He did not give any OF his wealth
TO the established charities. He
founded 10 universities and endowed
no public libraries. He gave great
chunks of. it to such deserving per-
sons as he could find, and employed
confidential agents TO report to him
the names of people who needed help
but were too proud to ask anybody
for 1t.
His donations were either anony-
nous or were made with the express
understanding that both the gift and
the name of the donor were to be kept
secret.
Here the story becomes almost in
credible-5ut read on.
One day while waiting at railway
station in small village for another
train to pass he strOlled into the
waiting room and picked up a copy
OF the village paper that somebody
had read and thrown aside.
He looked through the paper and
noted that the editor was making
frantic appeals to his delinquent sub
scribers to pay up, as money was
needed TO keep the Bugle going and
enable him to pay for a new press
that had just been added to the office
equipLaenU. He rushed back into the
train, grabbed his vaIise and started
downtown.
Entering the office of the Bubble a
few minutes later, he addressed tired
looking young man who was working
off q job of sale bills for farmer.
Young fellow" he said, taking him
to one side, ''are you the editor and
proprietor p
''Yes sir"
'How much would it take to put
your paper on its feet and make it

1T would take at least 50, 900"
responded the editor, looking at him
with suspicion.
1.-TWO thousand nothing Young
man, will you accept present of
$40, GOO from a total stranger who
mas money to burn and wants to help
his fellow men ?''
The editor passed his hands ner-
vously across his brow and cleared
his throat.
:" No, sir" he replied huskily 81

Yes sir" promptly replied the edi-
tor, "Pll take it, because that's bust
ness, and the paper will go to your
address all that time. The Bugle |

Pocketing the check and shaking
his new subscriber heartily by the
hand, he went back to his job of sale

snatching his hat, revolver and sword.
he rushed out OF the room, swung him
self on his horse and called to his
men: Follow me as fast as you CAM"
He spurred his horse and gaIlOped
toward GyOngy.
Gyongy was the property Of CoUn-
tetss GUlaCsy, separated from Zsaby
only by a narrow strip Of woodland.

became accustomed TO PetrOvics, who

how to make time pass in pleasant
