 "Ah! thou art a most selfish lad,' said the fairy queen. little frown wrinkling her brow. And thou wouldst leave in wretchedness, sickness and poverty thy own dear old kinsfolk-they that hast loved thee as their own, have suffered and worked for thee? An, and dost thou dare to beg of fairy good-luck charm? :? Bah, lad, thou hast yet to learn that no good luck could come through even fairys charm to one who Is selfish and ungrateful. To thy uncle and aunt l shall go, and shall tell them not to break their hearts about the cruel lad who will fully ran away from them, leaving them in their loneliness and poverty, that he might the better thrive without them. An, do not ask of fairy a good-luck charm! Fairies help only the good. Re member that. And if thou canst feel shame for thy conduct toward thy good uncle and aunt, they may take thee into their arms and forgive thee. But none of my help wilt thou receive till thou art truly repentant And remember, we fairies can read the human heart. I shall know whether or not thou art trying to deceive thy kinsfolk and me. And now sit and ponder over what has happened in thy young life and repent of thy selfshness and heartlessness. I shall return to thy people to explaln that thou art not ueau nor stolen, but just running away, but that doubtless they will see thee soon, for thou are so young that thy heart will show thee thy follies before an other full moon. And now adieu. I nm off to thy uncle and aunt, who will need my good-luck charm" And so say ing the fairy queen left Tommy Tupper sitting in the dust, wondering how he could ever have been so ungrateful to the dear old uncle and aunt who had done so much for him. And in his young heart was being born repentance and love. And tears streamed down his cheeks as he thought of the grief he was about to bring to the dear old folk who had been second mother and father to him.
 And then he saw the fairy beckoning to him. and she was crying out:

 And sure enough, just as sure as the moon is made of green cheese and a pot of gold is to be found at the end of the rainbow, little squirrel will go into even circle of boys and girls to get at a dainty luncheon. for squirrels do love to eat. So it was not very long before Johnny James had coaxed Squirrelie to join the group of picnickers, who were in reality his guests, though 1t is very likely

 And amidst a shout of eagerness-for each boy and girl was as hungry as could be-Squirrelie ran off to hide till the commotion should subside. And, strange as 1t may seem, that party of young picnickers did not take any notice of their host, Mir. Squirrel, while they were eating their luncheon.
 Its bad way to treat our host" de- clared the mamma, pointing to the squir- rel that was perched on a tree limb, eye ing the crowd.
 Well. he'll have to mend his manners If he wants to give boy and girl parties, explained the little girl with yellow hair. Then she fell to eating a sandwich and forgot her host who was perched In the tree.

 "l shall be glad of thy company" de- clared Tommy, already feeling the loneli- ness of being alone. And maybe thou c-.nst tell me about the Fairies, and where I am most likely to meet them.''
 "Dost thou wish to be blessed by Fairy for good luck? asked the old woman, looking closely into Tommy's face.
 'Oh, very, very much," cried Tommy, eagerly. T am very poor lad, and have no one to help me one little mite"
 "What-and hast thou no parents-no kin?' asked the woman.
 ''I have an aunt and an uncle," ex- plained Tommy. But they are as poor as can be. Why, very seldom do we have enough to eat. And my uncle and aunt are now too old to make fortune. The Fairies do not help the old"
 ''Oh, I understand" said the woman. And thou dost wish to find the Fairies on thy own account! Am I rightT'
 "Yes, good dame,", admitted Tommy
 And not for thy uncle and auntT asked the woman.
 For none but myself" declared Tom my ''I have run away this night that may go to the city to seek my fortune And I hope to meet Fairy on the way"
 And thy uncle and aunt-what will they do when they find thee gone?" asked Tommy's strange companion.
 ''1'hey will grieve very hard, for they love me as their own," said Tommy, proudly. And they may try to overtake me- But that they cannot do, for they are old and feeble, and hunger makes them weak. No, they will never set eyes on me again."

young married woman walked into a grocery store the other day, angry to the roots of her hair. Throwing a piece of yellow substance on the counter she shrieked forth to the grocers clerk who had taken refuge behind the coun- ter:
 Here, you swindler, is the soap that does the washing alone; the soap that makes wash day thing of joy, when the housewife may sit In her easy chair and receive callers; the soap that makes a father fine enough for a man to shave with, but which takes out every stain no matter of what nature-from the linen. Here Is the soap"

Limestone Being Used.
An Albany dispatch to the SaVan-

building machines recently purchas-
ed by the city of Albany and the
county of Dougherty have arrived,
and are to be put to work this week
on improvements which will mark
the inauguration of Dougherty coun-
Tvs good roads campaign. In the
conrse of a few years every import
ant highway in the county Will be IN
&c oood condition as any in the state.
It is probable that this is the only
county in this section or in the lower
valley of the Flint which appreciates
the immense Importance of the DIS
covery, as the result of OF exhaustive
experiments, that limestone, when
EXISTS in immense beds in this sec
tion of the state, is an admirable ma
terial for the construction OF duraDIe
highways. When taken t-2m the
ground il appears to be rotten, but
when crushed and packed with a
good foundation beneath it 1t be-
zones as hard as granite and Won
derfully durable.
The roads that have been built IN
this section in the past have been
constructed of material which was
brought from other sections of the
state or from other states, and has
been very expensive. With an abund-
ance of material at hand which can
be placed on the roads at very small
cost it will now prove comparatively
easy for all the counties of south
west Georgia to build roads such as
Dougherty will soon have.
