sion to Cross Rock Creek Park.

In the process of removing the overhead
wires from the streets of Washington, I'M
der the policy OF the Commissioners and
Congress. the American Bell Telephone
Company has applied to the Rock Creek
Park commission. composed of the Commits
sioners and the chief of engineers of the
army. for permission to cross the park in
order to substitute line for their through
trunk line from New York to the south,
which now runs on 14th street and Column
bia road and twice crosses 10th street. The
members OF the park commission are reluct-
ant to have this line cross the park, and
are determined that II 1t has to be done 1t
must be done at the narrowest part prac-
ticable and in the least conspicuous way.
The Commissioners are, of course, very
DESTROYS to get this long and heavy over
head line off the streets which II now in
cumbers, and the company also desires to
have this done. Several alternative routes
across Rock creek have been suggested
and this morning the members of the Rock
Creek Park commission who are now in
the city Gen. Mackenzie chief of engineers,
being on the Pacific COAST, Commissioner
Mcfarland, president of the park commits
sion, and Commissioners West and Biddle,
examined the different routes, in company
with representatives of the telephone COM
pany. They will take up the matter with
Gen. Mackenzie upon his return.

A True Story of One Christmas in Old Missouri

lifted latch and saw the door open.
There stood little Marcy her face
aglow with the cold, her red wooden
hood tight about her head and her
eyes wide with wonderment.
Go awayl Go away, quick, child"
shouted old Hugo, as he dropped
bunch Of silver handles into a half
made casket and ran towards her.
But little Marcy stood her ground.
In fact she stepped quickly inside and
closed the door behind her.
Didn't I tell you TO go away from
herei" said old Hugo again, i'm milder
tone, for he saw the awe-stricken face
OF the child and he realized that his
secret was his no longer.
Let me stay, grandpa" she said at
last. "I couldn't find you anywhere
and so I came i'm here"
But you shouldn't come i'm here.
Don't you see what am making?"
yes grandpa. It's collins. But I
don't care for them. They took my
papa and my mamma away in boxes
just like them"
"Bless the dear child!" said old Hugo,
and he clasped her in his arms and
put her on his work bench, where she
watched him for a long while, saying
nothing
After that the child made pilgrimages
daily into grandpa's shop and became
familiar with all the belongings of the
place. He gave her scraps of the white
Innings with which to make dresses for
her doll and he made a doll house for
her in one corner of the shop; with the
pretty, bright silver screws for door
knobs. silver handle for each side and
a piece of the black velvet across the
top. Grandma objected strenuously to
all this, declaring 1t would depress the
child and give her sorrowful thoughts.
But old Hugo laughed at her fears.
And you would have agreed with him
If you could have heard the fairy
stories he told her as he worked and
the childish laughter that rang through
the dreary place.
So the winter passed by and the
springtime came and old Hugo went
less often to his coffin shop. The epi-
demic of sickness had apparently
passed away and work on the farms
called into busy activity outdoors not
only all the neighborhood but old Hugo
as we'll But as the spring began,
grandma began to notice that little
Marcy was not well and although the
best physician was summoned and
nurse employed and old Hugo and his
wife worked and prayed day and night
passed softly away one morning just
when the green grass and the flowers
were beginning to peep above the
earth and the air was blowing warm
and free from the southland.
Old Hugo sat dumb and dry-eyed
with the shock and sorrow of it. 1t

THE COFFIN-MAKER'S IDOL

packages, which he placed carefully In
the sleigh and then returned for more.
Little Marcy wondered why there
should be four horses instead of Eight
tiny reindeer" but she remembered
that she had never seen any reindeer
since she had come there and she had
sublime faith that Santa Claus knew
what he was doing and that II was all
right. In a few moments the sleigh
was loaded and old Hugo got into It.
Then he cracked his long whip over
the lead horse. and away they all
flew like the down Of a thistle"
Old Hugo made a long drive that
night, surprising many Of his poor
neighbors and bringing happiness to
many heart. 1t was midnight when
he drove quietly into his own barn
yard and put the horses away. Then
he tiptoed into the house and found
his good wife sound asleep In er rock
ing chair by the fire and little Marcy
nesting snug in her trundle bed.
1t was broad daylight on Christmas
morning when the child awoke and for
a moment she lay there wondering If
Santa Claus had come back and
whether he had anything left in his
big sleigh after he had finished his
visits to all the good little girls and
boys. But she had no idea that she
would be disappointed, and so she
sprang from her bed and ran to the
big fireplace, where the back log was
sending out a smoldering glow of
warmth, and then made the house
ring with her shouts and cries for
grandma to get up and see what Santa
Claus had brought her Old Hugo had
been awake for some time, impatiently
waiting for this very scene, so while
little Marcy chirruped to grandma in
praise OF the good old man who had
given her so many beautiful and pleas
ing things the old fellow hid his head
in the quilts and blankets and chuck
led to himself until he could stand 1t
no longer; so up he got and joined in
the merriment.
1t was very merry Christmas for
little Marcy, except that in the after
noon she missed old Hugo, who was
working for dear life in his shop and
who at sundown drove out of the yard
with a spring wagon containing one
of his queer shaped, grewsome boxes.
But he returned early enough to have
pleasant evening with grandma and
the child.
After that he had to spend a great
deal of his time in the shop, for pneu-
monia and other diseases were busy
that winter. He didn't like to separate
himself so frequently from the child,
and he thought of her all through
the short days of his toll.
But one day he had forgotten to lock
the shop door behind him, and it came
about that while in the midst of his
labors he heard the sound of the up
