 " Haven't you any governess or nurses or somethingT asked Selwyn, finding hlmsef already on the stairway, and still being dragged upward.
 Our governess is away said Billy trumphantly, and. or nurses can do nothing with us.
 "I cont doubt it, murmured Selwyn; b.. where are they?'
 Somebody lhust have locked them in the school room observed Billy care lessly. Come on, Uncle Philip; we'll have q frst-class drag hunt before we unlock the school room and let them out
 " You ought to let them out, he said. You'll surely be punished
 We will let them out after we've made noise enough said Billy, calmly. w ell probably be punished anyway, so we may as well make a noise.
 Yes added Drina, we are going to make all the noise we can while we have the opportunity. Billy, is everything ready?'
 'An1 before Selwyn understood precise ly what was happening he found himself the center of circle of madly racing children' and dogs. Round and round him they tore. Billy yelled for the hur- dies and Josephine knocked over some chairs and dragged them across the course of the route; and over them leaped and scrambled children and puppies, split tin, the air with that same quality of din which had greeted him upon his entrance to his sisters house
 When there was no more breath left in the children, and when the dogs lay about, grinning and lolling Drna ap- he'd nd
 That circus she explained, was for your entertainment Now will you please do something for ours?
 In the first place. Drina continued 'yoA are to lie down flat on the floor anu creep about and show us how the Moros wriggle through the grass to bolo our sen ntinels.
 I don want to get down on the floor he said feebly; is it necessary
 But they had already discovered that he could be bulied, and they had 1t their own way; and presently Selwyn lay prone upon the nursery floor. impersonating a ladrone while pleasant shivers chased themselves over Drina, whom he was stalking.
 And it was while all were passionate ly intent upon the pleasing and snake like progress of the-r uncle that young girl in furs. ascending the stairs two at a time, peeped perfunctorily into the nursery as she passed the hallway-and halted amazed
 'Selwyn. sitting up rumple1 and cross legged on the foor after having boloed Dr.na to everypodys exquisite satisfac- tion, looked around at the sudden rustic of skirts to catch Q glimpse of a vanish ins figure-a glimmer of ruddy hair and the white curve O. a youthful face, half buried in a huff. Mortified, he got to his feet"

Women and the Stores.
the Ohio State Journal.

From the Ohio State Journal.
 It is fact that a dry goods store is a happy part of a woman's life Watch them come, each with little purpose in her heart, or some fancy to satisfy or some dear anxiety to dspe liko blossoms in a gale, fiuttering here and there, now at this counter and now at that, picking up piece of lace here or a ribbon there or a soft texture wonder and throwing out dainty question every where as she goes on and on. Isn't 1t q vision? As the tides respond to the moon, so does the dry goods store to the wom- an. Either is the fulfillment of the other. One cannot think of one and not the other. They began in the garden long ago. It was greater evolution than Burbank ever dmected-this developing of fig tree into dry goods store. but the woman did it. and she shall enjoy it till the worlds clash together
