THE STORY OF
 ANNA HELLMANN N
I-oNTINUr0 rnou rInsr rtgr- !

Fleeing from Colorado the Pugh f,mily maintained nomadic existence for several months, the wagon their home, till they arrived at Coleman, Texas.
 From Coleman they went to San Antonio, Texas, and there Miss Hellmann again attended school. All this time Elsie believed herself to be Anna's sister, but the older girl knew the younger ones his tory. though ignorant of her own.
 Mrs. Pugh was mistress of her household. A woman of fierce temper she exacted strict obedience from all Anna had been forbid den, with dire threats, to enlighten the younger girl or tt ever mention to anyone that Elsie was not Elsie Pugh and Mrs. Pugh's daughter. Fearing her foster mother as she did, the girl kept the secret.
 Ten years ago the family re- moved to Nogales and here the two girls were supposed by all to De Mrs. Pugh's daughters. Elsie attended the public school here and Miss Hellmann was permitted to return to San Antonio to com plete her education and when she graduated in 1898 she in turn came to Nogales, spent the sum mer here and in the fall of that year went to Calabasas to teach school. Some years later she went tp teach at the Harshaw school.
 All those years, knowing that she was not the daughter of Paul Vogt, the woman's Denver hus- band. Miss HellmaEn tried in vain to ind ee her supposed mother to tell her of her father. Always she was repr led with harshness and receive l only curt. angry replies. She WIS told that her true name was Felder, and that when she marrieI she would learn of her father
 When she married?
 An, but that promise was in definite. It was rendered in- definite by the actions of the woman who made 1t.
 Did Miss Iellmann meet and converse with q young man, and Mrs. Pugh learn of 1t, the young girl was berated fercely. Did young man visit the home, Mrs. Pugh's ungovernahle temper was given full vent and such pro- ceeding forbidden. Under such circumstances, when would she marry? When would she learn her life story2 When would she be able to affirm or dispel the ever lurking suspicion that the woman who treated her 50 harshly-so cruelly-was not her mother?
 Between the young girl and Mrs. Pugh there had been no mutual affection for many years. Nor was its presence affected. Some years ago the woman and her second husband, Mir. Pugh, had parted but Miss Hellmann continued to live with the woman, because she still believed, despite her vague doubts, that Mrs. Pugh was her mother and she felt 1t was her duty to remain with her.
 Often she thought of Paul Vogt If Denver and wondered if he knew aaght of her early childhood And she wondered if he was still alive; ii he was still in Denver; if sne would ever meet him again
 Al iast she determined to try to
The oasis., 1906-04-21

 trace Mir. Vogt, with faint hope that she might locate him and learn something from him. But first she would write to him per- sonally and await developments. Perhaps the letter, forwarded from one town to another, might reach him.
 She wrote to Mr. Vogt, sending the letter to Denver "Care of Gen eral Delivery" Promptly, and of truth unexpectedly, came an answer Paul Vogt was in Dem yer, cashier at a hotel, and the letter had reached him without delay.
 Eagerly she opened the precious message and for the first time in her life learned her true name and nativity. She learned she was not Anna Fielder, not Anna Vogt, not Anna Pngh, and not a native of the United States, but Anna He'll mann, native of Germany, and presumably an orphan.
 "She IS not my motherl She is not my mosherl She is not nay mother!n
 Over and over again the excited girl repeated so herself: She is not my motherw
 Then came the thought:
 But my mother is deadw
 And the glad light was dispelled from the soft blue eyes.
 She had learned who she was, but she knew not where to turn, nor to whom. Certainly not to the woman who had 50 wronged her and whom she had learned to fear with q fear she could not overcome.
 My mother is deadl My father is dead But have I sister? Have I brother?"
 The thoughts raised new hope in her heart. She would seek them in Germany. She would seek them in the United States. She would seek them the world over, but she would find them if they were on earth.
 She read and re-read the letter of Paul Vogt. He had always known who she was, but had been told bv his former wife that her parents were both dead. He had never told Miss HeIlmann during their residence in Denver that she was not his wife's daughter, be- cause She was but d child at the time and he believed the woman meant to tell her all when she grew old enough to understand matters more clearly.
 As she read and re read the let ter, she grew more hopeful.
 That woman has lied to me all my lifew she told herself. "She may have lied to Paul Vogt and to all others My mother may be still living My father may be still living. Perhaps l have brothers and sisters who think me deadw
 Like feeting shadows the thoughts chased each other through her excited brain. Like ghosts of the dead past came the recollec tions of a woman and a man whom she had been taught to remember as an aunt and an uncle. She tried in vain to recall faces of loved ones she must have known

Goldfish a Terror to Frogs.

A goldfish which has run amuck Is

ornamented his grounds with a num-
ber of small ponds. in which he
grows water lilies and keeps gold
fish.
One pond in particular. says Out

fish, a large black one. about three
years old. This lonely hermit has
taken a great dislike TO the small
frogs which swarm in all the pools
at this time of the year. and will not
permit a single frog to come into
his pond
The moment a frog jumps in the
fish attacks il, lashing the water with
his tail, butting the frog with his
head until he drives it out. The frogs
swim about in a dazed way and nm
ally climb out.
Almost any evening a numbe OF
disconsolate little frogs can be seen
sitting in a row on the brick edge of
the pond, desiring bat not daring to
jump in
The fish lately has become such
an autocrat that he will not permit
frog even to hang a foot in the
water. working himself into such
frenzy. lashing about and leaping out
of the water. that the frogs withdraw
