Of 1894 and the high of 1892, whil'
there has been no new extreme with

States has bought no silver in 1:
years. The last purchases were un
der the act Of 1890, by which in ex

They had all they could do to get
through the crowd. IsobeI was intro
duced to number OF people and they
ali went into the hall. One young wo-
man took her place at the plano. and
Miss Van SFyck stood at the head or
the room. The young woman began to
play a march, the doors were opened
and IN ehronged the children.
They were so funny-gay and dirty
some with rubber boots on, some
with patent leather slippers OF strange
cut and fashion-some well dressed
some hopelessly untidy and ragged. but
all very much alive and very happy.
At first Miss Van WICK had them
form long lines and she gave them pre-
iinnnary gymnastics and steps. She
had wonderful control Of them.
Then the dancing began. They were
allowed to choose their own partners,
while Miss Van Wyck and some Of this
other teachers helped those who had
learned much.

curious tinid little girl with appealing
brown eyes. For q moment 1sobel

draggled, her apron was mussy and
her fingers were terribly sticky. A
second later Isobel was ashamed She
smiled and rose.
The little girl couldn't really dance.
but she hoped around content and
happy to go wherever Isobel led her.
At the beginning Of the next dance
IsObel found herself confronted by
bold-eyed boy about her own age. He
invited her to spiel with him
Isobel was embarrassed and blushed
hotly. At that moment she caught a
smiling glance from Miss Van Wyck
and she rose immediately and accepted
his invitation. He danced very well
and entertained her with glowing &C
counts Of the "theayters on the avenoo"
and the troubles he had keeping away
fran the @cODs.s'
After that she forgot her embar-
rassment and entered into the fun
gaily. They marched and had a Yir-
ginia4 reel and an altogether happy and
hilarious time. AT nine o'clock prompt
~, the children were marshalled out
and Isobel and Miss Van Wyck put on
their things to come away.

Once there was hve-year-old girl
called Mabel. who had a doll named
Grizel that she had possessed for a
long. long time, as far back as she
could remember.
There was no other Of her dolls that
she loved so much, though Grizel was
only a rag doll and had not beautiful
golden curls like the waxen Emily. nor
the pink and white china complexion
of Sarah Jane
Mabel loved Grizel a great deal more
than either of these, and lugged the
shabby old thing about with her Wher-
ever she Went-although Grize1 had
become terribly dirty!
Every year she had grown dirtier
and dirtier, and every month she got
blacker and blacker. Once she had
had black hair and blue eyes and red
lips: Nowadays, you could hardly tell
her hair from her eyes, and when you
wanted to kiss her on the mouth, you
had to guess at the place! Being soft,
she was not the sort of doll you could
wash. Mabel had tried it, but it only
made her look worse than ever.

would burst out, and sometimes a
great split would come in her side,
and a whole range of mountains would
tumble out and harden on her. So,
after a little the poor Earth began to
be very humpy and disagreeable. to
look at-not at all what the Head APP
prentice had planned. 1t was borne
In upon him that something must be
done, or the Earth would either turn
wrong side out. or split all to pieces
some day. So he sat down on the very
edge of the Universe and thought and
thought.
And in the meantime the Earth went
on jerking and humping, and once a
great big piece fell right off the place
where the Pacific Ocean is, and that
turned into a Moon
That rather sobered the Earth for a
while, and she went more quietly, and
It also gave the Head Apprentice a
new Idea.
1.-THE Earth is doing better" said he
to himself, therefore it cannot be be
cause I did not grease the roller auf-
l17ciently."
So he watched and watched and
thought and thought and thought
At last he noticed that it was toward
the Sun that the Earth did her jerking,
and the Moon, being on the other side
of her, helped to steady her. So the
Head Apprentice said to himself.
The thing the Earth wants IS
Light, Light Lighki Now the Sun. can

the Moon, being so much smaller, can
not steady things. Besides. the Moon
herself is only one-half light. Now
I've got to find some way to get more
| light on the back Of the Earth, be-
cause, with all this Jerking and bounc-
ing I can see places where the Sky is
coming loose, and the Sky once rips
off, it's all up with the poor Earth:
there'Il be no saving her"
So the Head Apprentice thought and
thought, and at last he went to work
and made some stars. and set them up
behind the Earth, and he made a beau
/ tiful belt, called the Milky Way and
/ fastened it around the Earth, right
through the middle Of the sky. Then
the Earth began to roll much smooth
er. and would have been all right, only
L the stars were pinned up too far away
and the belt was not quite tight
enough.
But at all events she was so much
steadier that she never gave a jerk
oftener than once in four year, but that
Heap added, and does still, a day on the
tail Of February and that's why we
thave Leap Year.
/ Things were going pretty nicely now.
and the Earth rolled along IN a jolly

noticed that the Sky was still loose in

tie 1t made the most terrific thunder

The Head Apprentice was called
away about that time to another part
of the Universe. where Saturn was
busy for a long time, but at last he
started hack to the Earth again, and as
he drew near, he noticed. that the Sky.
was all fastened down snug and tight
on the back Of the Earth and he Won
dered.
Then, as he came nearer. he saw
what had conquered the difficulty. The
men had built fires all along the rivers
and the lakes and the sea coasts, and
below every fire there fell long gol-
den nail down into the water; and all
the ragged loose edges of the Sky were
fastened neatly down with these golden
nails.

Joe went to his room weeping He
DIDN'T care for the pain so much,

he knew that he had been unjustly
