would get cool very soon.
We knew what that meant, and we sat
down. Then / was requested to sing col

Thereupon l received as many long duckings

verses.
After the duckings was again requested to

the water, and Tom was called upon for clog
dance. He danced. l was asked to sing an
other song. / sang another song. Seeing that
we were blue with the cold, we were all made
to dance for some time in order to warm us up.
While dancing, Will Rathbone dropped a
little rubber stamp with his name and address
on it.. Discovering what this was, he was
compelled to take off his upper garments and
was duly labeled all over his body and arms
to keep him from getting lost, they said.
A nice, large juicy onion was then, in the
way of refreshments, presented to each of us,
and another ducking was promised to whoever
should finish his onion last.
We none of us took bite, for cold as it
was, we all preferred ducking to eating the
onions. We got what we preferred; we also
ate the onions afterwards.
1t was now beginning to grow light, so we
were told that. as soon as we got that stage

managed to get it there but I try never to
think of that journey.

This was an unlucky thought, but we did
not think so then.
Slowly and without sound we pulled the
big stage out from under the shed, and drag
ged it to the top of Long lillian ascent Of
mile and quarter We afterward thought
it not less than five.
'Pm glad we are going down grade now"
said Tom. "I'll bet that stage weighs ten
TONS" and he famed himself with his hat.
1t was easy work going down the hill, but
getting that stage across the meadow was
awfully hard.
'I'm sorry for the horses that have to pull
it." Tom remarked, as we tugged and pulled
and perspired, until at last we reached the
brook.
Carefully hiding the stage in the bushes, we
sat down for a few minutes rest.
Suddenly there was a commotion in the
bushes around us, and some one said:
isn't it very late for you freshmen to be
out"
We all recognized the voice and knew that
our plans had been discovered. At the same
time we saw that we were surrounded by
fully half of the sophomore class, and that
there was no chance for escape.
We struggled hard, although we realized that
our struggles were in vain. The sophomores
walked us out into the brook where the wa
ter was about two feet deep, and told us we

the shed, take them down to Long Hill,
across the meadow, and hide them in the
thick brushes by the river.
Bakers stables were on the outskirts of the
village and he kept no dog, The sophs would
be in tremendous fix! Altogether, it would
be great joke.
"That will be great!" said Tom Fowler.
And of course they were all anxious to 60.
About one o'clock we dropped quietly out
of the back window, and stealthily hurried to
Bakers.
On the way to the shed, Tom suggested that
we take the larger stage first, for we would
be somewhat tired on the second trip.

MoLLIE's LESSON WITH PEARLS

long she heartily wished she had not taken
them.
She was afraid to run too fast for fear they
should come undone, and that spoilt her fun.
Her conscience was pricking her very much,
too, and altogether she did not feel at all
happy.
However, the last game they played was
hide-and-seek in little wood at the end OF
the garden, and it was so exciting that for
some time Mollie was as merry as any of
them, and forgot all about the pearls. 1t was
not until the fireworks had begun that with
a start she remembered them, and quickly put
her hand to her neck to see if they were
there.
The pearls were gone!
For a minute Mollie felt stunned. What
should she do? She did not care for the
fireworks any longer, so she wandered miser-
ably away by herself in the direction of the
wood. 1t seemed very gloomy and dark when
she reached it, and Mollie shivered; but at
last she plunged in among the trees and began
to search
But it was no use, no pearls could she fnd
and it was very sad and silent Mollie that
went home with nurse.
The next afternoon she went to the house
and asked~to see Joan; but the maid who
came to the door said she and Mrs. Bayley
had gone away for week She looked so

Molhe burst into tears and rushed out of
the room.
Thursday was beautiful day, just right for
playing games in big garden, and about five
o'clock Mollie was in her room ready to CO..
She looked very nice in simple white frock
and hat; but Mollie was rather vain, and
frowned as she looked at herself in the glass.
1T looks so plain" she thought; 81 wish l
could wear the pearls"
Then she suddenly turned very red, and
her heart began to beat very quickly, She
stood still for minute struggling with the
temptation; but it was too strong for her, and
she. ran out of the room and down the passage
to her mothers. She knew where the pearls
were kept, and in minute they were in her
hands.
"Mollie,"' called her mother; make haste
it is getting late!"
Mollie hurriedly stuffed the pearls into her
pocket, and ran downstairs. She felt very
guilty when her mother said goodbye to her
lovingly, and she ran off as quickly as she
could.
The pearls were admired very much at the
party and for some time Mollie was the cen.
tire Of group of envious schoolfellows. But
somehow, it did not give her the pleasure
she had thought it would, and before very

miserable that the maid asked her what was
the matter, and Mollie told her.
"I'll tell the gardeners about it, she said,
kindly, perhaps they may find them" So
Molie thanked her and went home.
Two days passed and nothing happened, and
Mollie's spirits sank lower and lower Every
minute of the day she expected to hear her
mother say that the pearls were missing, and
she started every time she was spoken to.
Those two days were the most miserable she
had ever spent, and at last she could bear it
no longer
When her mother came to say goodnight
to her after she was in bed, she sobbed out
the whole story, and begged her to forgive her.
Mrs Ransome said nothing, but after a min
ute when Mollie's sobs had grown quieter she
got up and left the room, returning in min.
ute with small leather case which she told
Mollie to open.
In it was the string of pearls.
'Mother!" gasped Mollie, too surprised to
ask any questions
'Mrs Bayley sent them to me the morning
after the party before she went away. They
were found in the wood Then 1 guessed
what you had done, and determined to punish
you by not letting you know they were found.
And" she added, kissing her, II wanted you
to confess it yourself instead of waiting for
me to find out about it"

HYVT was the second month of my fresh
I@l man year at college. We had been
kA duly hazed by the sophomores had
JENSpI been victims of their many practical
jokes, and otherwise suffered the Gus
tomary severe treatment visited by
sophomores upon freshmen. But for the last
few days there had been a lull in their hos
tilities, and we rejoiced in our present immu-
nifty. We hoped that we had been put to
bed before supper for the last time, and that
we were once more to be allowed an undisturb-
ed nights rest. An anxious feeling troubled
US lest this lull only presaged storm, but
nevertheless our spirits were daily rising.
There were five of us gathered in my room,
one night, discussing our first experiences at
college, when the door opened and Will Rath-
bone entered.
After looking carefully about the room, he
motioned us to the corner furthest from the
door, and, in low voice, said:
"Boys,1I know what's the matter with the
sophs. They have been getting ready for
their class supper. It's tomorrow night"
Will paused, seemingly very proud of his
knowledge.
"Where is it to be?" ! asked

playing rough games. Supposing they came un-

pennies in your money box would replace even

/. PAN!ES ARE MAILING
MESSAGES. -
GRAVE PROBABILITIES THAT THE
il SOUTHERN PACIFIC WILL
GET MIXED UP IN THE
TROUBLE. Z.

San Francisco, June ga bulletin
issued by the press committee from
the telegraphers headquarters tonight
said:
Gas an, evidence of the inability of
the Western Union to handle the bust
ness offered by the public, they have
notified customers to use the tele-
phone wherever possible. A report
reached headquarters today that g.
600 kilograms had disappeared from
the overland division of the operating
room of the Western Union office in
Chicago. This would indicate that
business was being mailed, from
Chicago"
The strikers discovered today that
public business was being handled
| over private wires. President Small
notified the brokerage firms who have
permitted outsiders to use their wires
for public business that unless the
practice was stopped at once their
operators would become involved in
the strike. ii. .ig ra .&g
The Southern Pacific officials have
discharged several operators at out
side points on complaints from Chic
Operator Jeffs of the West Oakland
office of the Western Union that they
had interfered with the working o.
Western Union wires.
The Commercial Telegraphers Unio1
of America and the order of Railway
Telegraphers have working agree
ment. There is grave danger of the
Southern Pacific operators becoming
involved.

which Orchard fed in the night and
that when he reported to Sterling
he got Orchard to call the dog off.

Dramatic Scene in Loving Trial
When Daughter Tells Her Sad Story
lesties That Estes Gave Her Whskey Which Seemed 10
Be Dragged and Prevented Resistance 10 His Carnal
Appetite. This Story Drove the Father to Murder

from the stimulant, witness declar-
ed she recalled nothing more until
she regained her senses while in bed
late that night at the home of Coun-
ty Clerk Kidd, where she had been
visiting Miss Kidd. 85i#
She testified that on the follow
ing morning, when her father asked
her for the cause Of her being
brought to the home of Mr.. Kidd in
an unconscious condition she relat-
ed to him the same statement she
made today.
It was this recital, declared the de-
Tense, that so effected the mind Of
Judge loving that it impelled him
to commit the crime, which, accord
ing to his statement, could have been
prevented by no power except God
almighty"
Whether the story told by the 10
year-old girl can be torn TO pieces
by the prosecution remains to be
seen and on the disproving of this
story hangs the fate of the defend
ant.
The prosecution claims that the
outrage laid at the door of the man
whose lips are sealed, was fmpossi-
BILE.
Miss Loving admitted she had TAX
en- two drinks with Estes during the
drive. the first one being while at
Estes store. She was asked about
other occasions when it is charged
that she drank whiskey, but the pro-
secution objected on the ground
tnat it had no bearing on the case.
The defense waved the question
for the present, but may insist up
on similar ones later in the trial.
DR.. VIM. Tunstall, of Lovingston,
who saw, Judge Loving before and
after the killing testified that, he
thought Loving was insane when he
committed the crime. Tunstall is
! a practising physician of Nebon coun-
ty. He based his theory that Loving
was insane on the fact that he failed
to speak to him in passing before
the killing and afterwards; that Low
ing's head hung low and he was
pale" and also on his personal know
ledge of Loving, who, ne said, went
on frequent debauches ending in de-
lirium tremens. IS
