well he knew how precious were all these new ideas
Brand-new songs and music, plans for undreamed-

grandest pictures, ideas Fire Insurance recipes

fact, his brain full of wonders that 1t seemed
TO reel and make him dizzy.
Suddenly the thought occurred to him to carry
away a big bundle of these plans, and he at once
began to gather them together, whereupcn the
keeper shouted:
"Here! Stop that You can't take them out
of the building" and darted at him.
Although so small a man, his fingers seemed to
clutch Arthur's throat and shoulders with giants

dream.
But the funny part of 1t was that he remembered
all the plans he had seen and he went to work upon
them so that in a short tine he was a great
writer of the newest books, songs and poems as well
as the inventor of Richardson's celebrated Com
bined Stove Polish-and- Baking Powder, which alone
made him very rich; the Reservoir Patent Popcorn

are yet alive; but all of them interesting.
