CHAPTER III.
Continued.


"Git up" said he; you're wanted"
This was so judicial summons that
little Make Believe looked around for
he policeman who had come to seize
Ter for some unknown crime. Seeing
~ officer of the law, her head sank
pom her breast again.
Don't yer hear?" cried Dot-and-
arry-one. 'sYou're wanted"
what for?" asked Little Make-Be-
Ieve, in listless tone.
Were going to play one of your
ames." replied Dot and carry one.
We're going to pretend"
Little Make Believe shook her head,
The had no heart for games, not even
or the game which had become almost
second nature to her.
'Let me alone" she said.
Some unaccustomed note of suffer
ng in her voice caused Dot-and-carry-
ne to stoop and lower his face to the
evel with hers.
What's the matter with yer?" he in
Iuired, less from compassion than
rom curiosity.
"I'm almost starving" she said, "and
Iaranne's waiting at home for grub
md / ain't got none to give her. /
ant play no games, cause amt got
frength to crawl"
''If yer'll play this game" said Dot
Ind-carry "yer'll git lots Of grub
or the pair on yer. amt CANNON
ng.
what sort O. grub?" asked Little
fake Believe, increduliusly.
"Pies.s
With glad cry little Make-Believe
umped to her feet.
The mention of pies and the prospect
# possessing them were like Heaven
her.
A pie was the very thing Saranne
expected her to bring home.
For moment or two she throbbed
With ecstacy; then came a revulsion.
Had not Dot-and-carry-on said they
we're only going to pretend? He saw
he doubt in her face.
'Don't be little fool" he said. "We
ire going TO pretend 10 nRAt Lne saw
lges. The chief one Of 'em is Mike,
he Pieman, and wen tackle him fust.
Hes waiting for us to play the game,
ind the Governments going to pay him
sor the pies"
This last statement was perhaps the
most daring and original declaration
Dot-and-carry-one had ever made. In
his way, the lad was genius, and
Iuick in device when questionable
transaction was in view.
Little Make Believe did not pause to
consider; she thought only Of Saranne
ind, accepting the flag handed her by
Dot-and-carry-one, took her allotted
place at the head of the ragged regi-
nent.
The children sat up cheer when
hey saw her there. Little Make-Be-
aeve was great favorite with them.

SO long as men have only their physi-
cal senses to guide their minds in
Judging one another there win always
be more or less injustice in the world,
for no two men are equipped exactly
alike by nature. And because of this,
too, there will Always be honest dis
agreements among men on all but the

Epictetus said. 1.-THE appearance Of

From current discussion in the Eng

fact is learned that the development Of
the motor bus in London has been so
rapid OF late that 1t has put complete
stop to the identification of street
lines built for horse traction or other
than electric propulsion, states the
New York Times. The experience Of
one London company may be briefly
summed up as follows: 1t owns and
operates a line of motor omnibuses.

netting an average Of, say, 5000 per
week of profits.

match for her pursuer, who overlook
her and laid his hand upon her shoul-
der just as she reached the door Of
Thomas Dexter's shop. Then came
suddenly upon her the full and true
consciousness OF her act.
In fancy she saw the helmet, the
truncheon, the dock, the magistrate,
the lookup.
The strength with which exaltation
of spirit had inspired her weak form
deserted her at the touch of this hand
upon her shoulder, and overpowered
with terror she covered down at
Thomas Dexter's feet.
ssWhats the matter?v inquired
Thomas Dexter, gazing on the crouch-
ing form.
Little Make Believe did not stir.
Quick Of fancy, she was realizing the
horror of her position.
1t narrowed her vigorously. What
would Saranne do? How could she
get food-when her sister, her child
mother, could no longer provide for
her?
"There's nothing to be frightened
at" said the man, raising Little Make
Believe from the ground. Il sent the
policeman off on wrong scent. So

''Nothink."

CHAPTER ".
What Occurred to the Expedition Com
manded by Little Make eliev
Against Mike the Pieman.

What Occurred 10 the E1pe0ltlon OoA-,
handed by Little Make Believe
Against Mike the Pieman.
Mike the Pieman was little shriv-
eled-up old man, who had been In the
Die business for more years than any
,ne in the neighborhood could remem-
Der.
His stand was on the curb outside
the principal entrance of The Maiden's
Blush, and he drove roaring trade,
seldom going home without his entire
stock being cleared out.
He made only one sort Of pie. What
sort Of pie that pie was no man knew
except himself, and no one inquired.
The only thing of which q buyer
could be sure of was, that the pies
were very hot in temperature and sea-
soning.
There was legend that Mike the
Pieman was very rich. That is scarce
" probable. for a fortune is not to be
made out of one pie can; it is likely,
however. that he was well-to-do, for
he was close-fsted old fellow, who
was never known to give away a pic
or to sell one under price.
.sHaftr cried Dot-and-carry-one and
his ragged regiment came to q stand
still within few yards of The Maid
ea's Blush.
"There he is" said the young scamp.
"There's the chief of the savages.
Hes got a extra hot lot O. pies running
over with gravy. which he made espe-
cialIy for us. can taste 'em afore-
hand, can't your"
The sight Of all those hungry mouths
working would have been q sight to
remember.
"He knows we're here" continued
Dot-and- carry one, "but he mustn't take
no notice Of us till we goes up to him,
or the Government wouldn't pay him
for the pies he's made for us. If yer

a dear friend of mine used to say OF
fine old doctor in Philadelphia that
his simple presence did his patients
more good than his medicine. and was
easier to take beyond all comparison,
states Robert Collyer. Well. such a
presence is always a noble medicine in
itself. The contagion of a cheerful
soul helps us always to look toward the
light, sets the tides Of life flowing
again, and cubes all our chances Of

Much Wreck For Little Loot.

Cracksmen entered the postoffice at
the store Of William P. Lippincott, at
Hartford, early in the morning, and
with nitro-glycerine or dynamite blew
open the safe and reduced it to frag-
ments. The terrific force of the explo-
sion drove pieces of the safe through
the brass lock boxes and imbedded
them in the heavy wood of counter
twenty feet away. The interior of the
store was a wreck. and little of value
remained in the Postoffice Depart
ment. Postmaster Lippincott lives in
the house adjoining the store. He
heard the explosion, which sounded to
him like the firing of a gun, but as
he thought it was as far away as the
station he made no investigation.
Other residents were disturbed by the
noise, and Miss Cora Gilbert said she
saw three men walking toward Camden
after she was arounsed. Postmaster
Lippincott said stamps amounting to
about S45 were taken. The thieves
overlooked some valuable papers and
the money order book.

Governor Stokes, at Trenton, signed
the Automobile bill which passed the

DODGING THE MAIN ISSUE.
TechnicaIities of Various Kinds Be-
ing InterpOse in the Alleged
Land Fraud Cases.

Portland, Ore, April 18.-In answer
to United States Senator John H. Mitch
ellis charges that the federal grand
jury which brought indictments against
him in connection with the land frauds
in this state was an illegal body, and
that United States District Attorney
Heney was p~rejudiced, Mr.. Heney in
PRODUCED a%ffidavits relating the facts OF
his appointment as district attorney,
and declaring that the bears no malice
toward any of the defendants from any
causes whatever. The affidavits also
certify that George Gusin, the juror
whose citizenship is questioned by the
defense, is a naturalized citizen of the
United States.
Attorney Bennett, for the defense,
raised objections to the introduction
of the afidavits, on the ground that
the government had not adopted the
proper curse of procedure.
Mr.. Heney argued that a statute of
the United States provided that aft
davits could be introduced to show the
citizenship of a naturalized foreigner.
He stated that the statute provided
that pleas in abatement shall be tried
by a judge without a jury, and that the
federal laws provide for the introduce
ton of evidence in the form of aft
davitS.
