before the hearing of a cause, to allow
the orator To move for tho production
of documents relative to the matter in
question which has been admitted in
the answer ~ the defendant to be in
his power OF possession. This power
arose out of the courts power to order
discovery. The matter OF exercising
this power has been modified from time
to time, so that now the order can he
made even before answer, by an af
daVit or other positive admission by
the defendant that such documents arc
In his possession or power: and IL posi-
tive denial in an answer that they will
cast no light upon the issue involved,
will not affect the right under the mo-
tion. IL the answer taken as n whole
shows that they will shed light upon
such issue.
The Legislature of this State has ex-
tended this power To the courts ot law
by sections l4!O and l456, Vermont statutes
and the tendency of the courts of law as
well as courts of chanccry in modern
times. has been to extend those powers
as the erds of justice require rather than
restrict them.

stead OF school or visiting with boys in
the alley, instead of feeding the pigs and
cutting the kindling-wood.
So 1t was that Snip was the only one In
the world who did not question Freckles
about his goings and comings and con-
duct In general. Snip fully understood
Freckles, and knew that the little lad
had some object In doing whatever he
did. OF course, the object may not have
been just what 1t should have been, but
that was not Ships business.
And thus It was that Freckles loved
Snip tenderly and was beloved by Snip
In return. Long hours they spent to-
gether, Freckles doing all the planning
and talking, and Snip doing the following
and listening. Snip was a goodman
nered little puppy, too, never disagreeing
TO anything that Freckles said ;-but that
was because he felt perfect confidence In
his masters wisdom and good judgment.
If Freckles said to Snip, Lets 60 hunt
ing for bears and snakes In the woods
today" the little shaggy fellow wagged
his tall, squinted an eye and said with
all his body: Yes. yes, Master Freckles,
let's hunt bears and snakes In the woods
today. 1t will be perfectly grand"
One day--it was not Saturday, either,
so you will understand that 1t was no
time for Freckles to do what he did

hearts wero becoming calmer another
sound-the step of a human being-was

In another moment hideous old man,
Lumpbacked, beak nosed and claw fin
gered, stepped into the path beside them.
slight movement of Rosebud caught his
ear. He paused, turning sharply round,
and caught sight OF Brave Jack, whose
color had instantly fed on seeing him.

BY HELENA DAVIS.

In a strange country far over the seas
there lived In a pretty village y good man
and wife who had two pretty children,
boy and girl, named, respectively, Brave
Jack and Rosebud. Brave Jack was nine
years of age and his sister was two years
his junior.
Ons day when the spring was far nd
vanced and the flowers bloomed on river
bank, valley and mountainside, Brave
Jack said to Rosebud as they played in
the garden of their home: Come, sister
dear, let's go for a walk In the great
woods yonder There Is the home of the
wood nymphs and sun fairies. We may
get glimpse of them IL we go while the
sunbeams shine through the trees"
But we must not leave this garden till
our mother returns from the fshmonger's
shop.% said Rosebud. "Should she come
home and find US gone 1t would make her
very uneasy. She would think we had
been stolen by the gypsies and carried far
away Then she would have the watch
man ring the bells and the town-folk
would turn out to help In the search for
us.
''But l have a way In mind that will
prevent our mothers worrying about us,
said Brave Jack "We'll tell Granny
wrinkles, who is coming to make our Sun
day cake this morning She will explain
to our mother that we have gone for a
walk In the woods that cover Mount Porte.
Then the bells will not be rung, nor will
there be any alarm, for our mother, as
well as our. father, knows I am brave and
very capable of taking care of you and
myself"
"rhen let me get my bonnet and a bas-
ket," said Rosebud, starting for the house
1--WE shall bring home the basket full of
wood blossoms to strew about the rooms
oIr IaA IL 4Ixa Ro1r
Bring my hat and wooden sword"
cried Brave Jack, as his sister disappeared
into the matched cottage that stood In
the center of the we'll kept garden. 1T
will be as we'll for me to be armed against
bears and wolves that might come down
the mountain In quest of us"
Just as Rosebud entered the cottage to
get her bonnet, Brave Jacks hat and
wooden sword, old Granny Wrinkles came
in at the front door, having engaged to
bake a Sunday cake for the mother of
Brave Jack and Rosebud. Upon seeing her
Rosebud cried out: "Oh, old Granny, my
brother wishes to speak with you. He Is
In the garden beneath the fig tree"
Old Granny Wrinkles, smiling indul-
gently, went to the garden. where Brave
Jack was waiting the return of his sister.
Granny" he exclaimed upon seeing the
old crone, will you oblige me by telling
my mother on her return from the fish
monger's that | have taken my sister
for walk In the woods that cover the
feet of old Mount Porte? Well be back
for evening cruel, SO save some Of 1t for
US. Also bake an extra large Sunday
cake, for we'll likely want a slice of 1t
before the day after tomorrow"
'Such a lad, such lad" said old
Granny Wrinkles. shaking her head. "You
should not go away from home till your
mother gives her consent. In the woods
yonder are many strange reptiles and
monsters. I've heard say that a dragon
lives In a cave far up the mountainside,
and that on every warm day 1t comes
forth to get fresh air into Its nostrils. 1t
