and never was she prouder of her son than
when she learned how, disregarding his own

"He surely had no cause for apology, for

ally referred to the incident Of the afternoon
in school when Jarvis figured SO creditably.
He told him-what the boy already sus-
pected-that Squire Hawkins was caught on
the question of the watch figures, as Mr..
Willett himself had been, and the squire was
as pleased as he was surprised when JARVIS
earned the offered reward.
This led Jarvis to say that he was then on
his return from the house Of the squire with
the reward in his pocket, besides which, as
he related, he had won and received twice
that sum for finding the lost wallet.
The teacher congratulated him again, as he
could well afford to do. Jarvis was on the
point once or twice of telling him of his

and they were now close to his home. So,
bidding his teacher goodnight, he entered the
gate and opened his own door,
His dear, good mother was there and re
ceived him with a kiss. Dollie was still wide
awake, and would not be content until she
was tossed to the ceiling and caught in the
strong arms Of her big brother and kissed
and tumbled about in promiscuous fashion,
The evening was well along, but supper had
been kept waiting, and there were no chores
table, and while the three ate he told his
story.
The Widows eyes sparkled when her son,
anticipating her protest against accepting so
much money from the good-hearted squire,
made haste to relate how he sternly rebuked
his "impudence" for venturing to express any
misgivings on the point. After that she could
say nothing in the way of objection.
Then came the story Of the trestlework and
the railroad train, though Jarvis did not re-
late that until the supper things were cleared
away and Dollie was put to bed There was
an element in that of too tragic and terri
flying nature to be told to one so young, and
Jarvis deserved credit for showing such rare

Scientists have come to the conclusion that
it is the effect of electricity. This great power
is constantly being generated everywhere, and
when the positive and negative parts of the
power meet they produce a shock in any living
thing. There is good deal of electricity in
the air, and when the human body is made
meeting point the sensation is liable to be felt
about the region of the spine.
Some people are liable to shocks now and
then in special parts of them, in the ankle for
instance, or, very commonly, around the base
of the brain. There is no harm in it, but it
shows rather highly-strung organization.
These shocks, which give other people the
idea that the subject of them is feeling cold,
occur as much in hot weather as at other
times II they occur very frequently the sub
ject becomes more than usually liable to them,
