When the Sunlight
Pierced the Shadow
tcopyright, 1909, by Daily story Pub. Coz
By ANNIE BRASHEAR

T HE graphophone had been placed
on the table, and the family had
gathered around to listen to the new
music which Mr.. Leigh had brought
for the entertainment of the girl sit
ting In the shadow OF the curtains.
For once he almost regretted his
popularity in the family, for while
his heart was one moment agitated by
hope and the next dulled by fear, he
was anxious to learn the fate which
awaited him. He had asked the hand
OF the girl in marriage, and tonight he
was to learn his fate. For awhile the
family listened, then turned away. Mr.
Leigh said:
wait a moment, Mrs. Hardy Here
is one selection which am anxious for
you to hear. 1t is, to me, a singularly
sweet song, and the saddest romance
is associated with it. l have a friend
In Dallas who is a dealer in graphic
phones. One day he told me the story
of this song. Its author was a bril-
liant musician, and this song was writ
ten upon the occasion CT his acceptance
by the young lady he loved, and after
ward lost. He allowed my friend to
have several plates made. but it was
never published. This plate wis given
80 me-"
He screwed IL upon the graphophone,
and a prelude, soft, sweet, thrilling
beneath the touch of a master hand
foated through the room, and voice
beautiful and vibrant, sang the triumph
OF accepted love when the Sunlight
Pierced the Shadows"
No one noticed the cry which burst
from the lips of the girl near the win
dow. All were in touch with the senti-
ment OF the words and music.
They seemed to feel the hush OF
evening, to listen to the murmur Of

FAITHFUL TO HIS TRUST.
This Dog Is Not Beauty, But What
He Lacks in Looks he Makes
Up in Fidelity

During the hours OF three and four
o'clock every morning in the week ALL
nighters and early morning pedes-
TRANS meet dog in the vicinity OF
Main and Twelfth streets carrying in
its mouth tin bucket. The dog SEEM
ingly comes from the southwest part
Of the city and persists in keeping the
middle of the roadway and walking
between the street and car tracks. II
never ventures on the sidewalk, and
when an owl car happens along t.
steps aside and waits until the car is
well out of the way before resuming
its journey, which terminates some
where in the wholesale district.
He would never win a beauty prize
at a dog show, but what he lacks In
beauty he makes up in fidelity to duty
and master. His coat is shaggy and
unkempt and he seemingly believes
that familiarity breeds contempt for
he steadfastly refuses to make friends
with anybody and shows disdain
toward those who have made a show
Of friendliness.

dogs manner, and this holds good to
dogs as we'll as people, for it is notice
able that he is not interfered with by
CANNES that be meets up with in his
travels. The other dogs gaze at him
in wonderment, but make no advances
either friendly or hostile. AS yet no
one has been able to find out what the
tin bucket contains. but it has been
suggested that it may be the early
breakfast of his master, who, it is
thought, is employed as either watch
man or night engineer somewhere in

A DOGS WISDOM.
Story of How Nero obeyed His Mas
ter at the Sacrifice Of
Shirt

Stories of dogs are so plentiful that
one more or less doesn't seem to make
much difference, and yet the cumulative
evidence of canine reasoning power Is
piling up high.
Nero was a st. Bernard owned by d
man in Virginia One day while in the
yard cleaning his gun the master told
Nero to go in the house and bring him
rag. Nero bounded off, and was OBJ
served by a woman to be searching for
something. Interested in his motions,
she watched him. After looking every
where in the room he went to the closet,
and finding on the floor his masters
shirt, shifted at it, took it up, hesitated
a moment, then evidently satisfied that
iC was not "a rag" laid it down and
went back empty-mouthed. His mas
ter reproved him SHARPLY and said:
60 now and bring me a rag!"
Turning slowly, the puzzled dog went
into the house again, still watched by
the woman who had heard the order
He went to the closet, picked up the
shirt in his mouth and started to go out
then evidently reasoning that whole
garment could not properly be called
"a rag" he placed his foot on the por-
ton that trailed on the floor and DELHI
erately tore out a piece, with which he
returned triumphantly to his MASTER

THE POWER OF KINDNESS.
Balky Horse Conquered by Woman
and It's Driver Taught a
Wholesome Lesson.

An elderly lady tells a story in Our
Dumb Animals that will be very inter-
esting for you boys and girls to read,
because most of you love animals and
hate to see them ill-treated.
Says this lady: We were going from
to S. one day. My nephew, a lad of
IA, was driving; beside him was a grand
child, and before, pair of favorite
horses. We came round a sharp turn in
the road. and at the foot of a steep hill
found a Quadruped and a biped The
former was noble-looking horse, the
latter an unmistakable brute The
horse was harnessed 20 a farm wagon,
containing perhaps half a ton; the man
was beating him and shouting loud
enough to be heard a mile away. / told
Eddie to stop, and l said to the man:
Please don't whip that horse any more
He answered churlishly that he thought
he knew his own business. / thought he
did not, but kept it to myself | kept
talking to him pleasantly, as l wished to
gain time for the painting horse. After
a few minutes, said: You think, prob
ably, that women don't know how to
manage balky horse, but l have been
accustomed to ride and drive ever since
l was IL years of age. If you'll allow
me, would like to try your horse, and
II l fail with him, will help you up
the hill with my team He looked an
noyed, but after a little hesitation said
All right, you can try l stepped from
my carriage and went at once to his
horses head, which l loosed from the
vile check. He dropped his head, and,
as II he knew l was his friend, he turned
his face toward me for a good look. l
patted him on the neck and face for a
minute, and We soon were on the best
Of terms. Soon I mounted the wagon,
and indicated my wish by slightly pull
ing one rein, and saying: Come He
started promptly, and went straight up
the hill to Tie top, when stopped him!
His owner followed. To his credit be
1t said, he removed his hat helped me
from the wagon, and said: L thank you;
you have taught me lesson"

Strawberries on Trees.

M. Ballet, a French specialist, was
enabled to grow Strawberries on plants
Of a decidedly tree-like nature. The
method was simplicity ITSELF The run
ners were trained vertically and tied to
a stake in the same way that pot to-
mato plant is, and then the lateral
buds were pinched out. The result was
q strawberry tree on a small scale. The
system, as regards the strawberry
plant, has been utilized in the produc-
ton of tree heliotropes, or cherry
pie" as the fragrant flowers are usual
ly called on account Of the strong cher.
ry-like perfume they give out. The
finest specimens of these are to be seen
in the season in the lovely gardens of
Walmer castle, the late marchioness of
Salisbury having been very partial to
them.

THIRTY MINUTE SAILBOAT.
Just the Thing for Boy Who Has
Neither Patience Nor Mechan-
ical Ingenuity.

The boat that is here shown was de-
signed especially for a boy who had
neither patience, tools nor skill. He
wanted a boat, and one that would go
last. A board with a sail stuck upon
IL was not to his liking, and so this
entirely original affair was produced.
Nothing in the boat was of value ex-
cept as kindling wood, but the making
and sailing of similar boats afforded
many an hours entertainment. Each
day when the wind was blowing off
shore one or more of these boats were
set adrift in Long Island sound. OF
they would go like catamarans, some
times at an angle with the wind, but
always out of sight, never to return.
once in awhile one would be adjusted
just right, and then it was hard to
keep up with it by rowing, it would
go so fast The seas would go over
them, but as they had Do deck on they

would go. 1t was found after awhile
that too short boat would not steer
very well. A long boat, on the other
hand, would keep pointing about right,
so that they were made from two to
eight feet long. The best way to
build the boat was to find a board
about four feet long and six or eight
inches wide. This was sawed diagon-
ally across the center, and the angle
made on each piece was made the bow.
These two pieces were held side by
side eight inches apart, and two mar
row strips were nailed across bow and
sterpu an eStca piece hrvl2g. hole in
1t was nailed ON the bow strip, and a
stick about foot long was stuck in it
for mast. The best kinds of masts
Were made of dowels-sticks one
quarter inch thick TO be found at lum-
Der yards and hardware stores.
On the mast was fastened q cross
arm Just as wide as the boat A piece
OF sheeting made an excellent sail, and
after it was fastened on the arm with
a thread and needle the two lower
corners were fastened securely to the
sides Of the boat. The sail was put as
far forward as possible in the bow of
the boat, for it helped steer, and no
rudder became necessary. Without
any doubt the boy who lives near the
water and finds some odd pieces of
lumber, some nails and a piece of
cloth will find in this boatmaking
enough to amuse him OFF and on half
the summer.

was enacted by two women, who
fought duel, with the result that one
Of them was stabbed to death, while
her antagonist escaped. The cause of
the encounter is a mystery.
1t was about o'clock in the after
noon when two cabs, driven at a flu
rious pace, suddenly made their ap-
pearance In the street and stopped alb
ruptly in front of No. 9. Immediately
two elegantly dressed young women
stepped out and closed In combat,
decorating each others faces terribly
with their nails.
Hat Pins and Dangers.
A large crowd quickly collected
around the two combatants. but no
body interfered. Soon natures weap-
ons proved insufficient. whereupon the
women stabbed each other with hat
pins. Eventually one OF them ex-
claimed: I'VE must make an end OF
this. One OF US will have to die" and
in the twinkling Of an eye they both
drew small daggers.
After few savage thrusts one Of the
antagonists suddenly shrieked, "She
has killed me-" and sank to the ground
pierced through the heart.
