This little girls whose name was Lucy. cried with sjoy when she beheld her brothers gift So glad was she that quickly the sickness left her. Not long was it before she was complete ly recovered.
 'And I am sure the dolly is the req son for 1t all" she said.
 Again the Doll Fairy used her magic. so that a thought came into the little girls head. and she sighed. regret fully:
 "since, the dolly came to make me happy and well, I'm sure 1t would do the same for some other little girl, who perhaps needs Dolly more than l."
 From hand to hand passed the won- derful doll, bringing cheer and glad mesa into the home of many a little girl. And as the sprites in Fairyland report that she has not returned, I've no doubt her noble mission is not yet ended. Perhaps some one you know may own the Doll Fairy: but rest as- sured tha she will not possess 1t long, for the Fairy wishes to please thou sands and thousands of the lassies she loves before she goes back to her home in Fatryland.

INTIMATE as was the boy officer,
 Colonel Francois Rebaut. with his A marshal. there was one subject he never touched upon. and that was the exile of his father.
 The Marquis de Rebaut had lived in his chateau in Anjou. where he owned broad estates. But as his sympathy was entirely with the old form of government under Louis, he was exA lied from France and his possessions confiscated. He crossed the channel to England. What grieved the mar quis most was that his only son. Francois. remained loyal to Napoleon and entered the service of that doughty general. This the lad did. even though he was given no share of his father's lands.
 Strange 1t was that Francois should have been thinking of his father on the eve of battle. He was alone with the marshal, who wondered at the silence of his favorite oficer. inas- much as the young colonel was usual ly in his gayest and brightest mood just before an engagement.
 If the boy was disturbed by sad thoughts he did not show 1t on the morrow, when the French met the allies in fierce encounter. As the marshaPs aide, he was everywhere upon the field. riding hither and thither at breaknecIz speed to enforce his chiefs orders. It so happened that he joined in the charge of a regiment of hussars. With such vigor did the French cavalry hew their way through the enemy's ranks that soon the allies retreated. Just as Francois was about to make his way back to the marshal he observed that one of the prisoners looked strikingly familiar. Wheeling his horse,' he approached nearer. He was shocked to discover the man was his own father! Much disturbed. he

 At first the lass was proud of her beautiful dolly and she was as happy as could be. But she was already be- ginning to tire of it, as rich little girls often do, on the day Nurse took her for a stroll in the park Dolly was carried in the arms of her mis- tress.
 Perhaps you have guessed that the lovely doll was none other than the Doll Fairy. And as the fairy had great power. when the little girl had finished her romp among the trees and upon the gorgeously tinted leaves laid in a carpet on the ground, she was made to forget all about the doll nss-' ting at the base of a great oak. So the doll was left behind when the rich little girl began her journey
 However, the Doll Fairy did mot in tend to remain idle. She had made one little girl happy for time; now she wished to bring joy to some other girl-one who would appreciate the

Crossing the road several rods ahead were a trio of British troopers. Paul sat very still. Then he quickly drew from his pocket the pellet Lieutenant Remsen had told him to destroy and swal- lowed it. It was a great deal bigger than even the largest of the immense pills the village doctor gave him sometimes. Then. too, 1t stuck in his throat in a horrid, nasty manner; but

CONCLUDED FROM LAST suNDAYo

D AUL carefully tucked the pellets
 away in different pockets of his A jacket. He stiffened. put his heels together, and saluted, as Dick had taught him.
 Goodbye. Lieutenant Dick" said he.
 Lieutenant Remsen's eyes gleamed brightly as he returned the salute. But his voice had a suspicious huski- ness when he replied:
 Good bye, Private Paul.
 Without pause the lad darted across the open space between barn and meadow. Creeping through the tall grass of the meadow. he waded the brook (without even thinking what mother or Aunt Harriet would say to him for wetting shoes and stoekings). and slipped into the woods beyond. Shortly he found Dobbin grazing peacefully in a sheltered hollow, as unconcerned as though there were no such events as wars. Not an inch did the faithful beast move when the lad climbed big rock and scrambled des- perately upon his back. Otherwise. Paul never would have succeeded in mounting: for to him this was a great height, unattainable. except through the assistance of a father or a fence or watering trough-something much higher from the ground than he. But, although Dobbin permitted this liberty, 1t took him the longest time to realize that his tiny rider wished him to undertake a Journey. After much tugging at the shaggy mane and prodding with heels, however, the boy induced him to move out of the woods on to the road. From Bueschwicke 1t was no great distance to the ferry station, which stood upon the site of the Brooklyn of today, and it was toward this point that Paul directed the horse.
 The boy was now very near to a bend of the road. beyond which he would be able to see the rude lr..t bv

 Soon there came walking by lad who seemed quite poor. He was searching for nuts, but only half heartedly, since his thoughts were with his tiny sister. who lay very i'll at home. Then he saw the doll.
 And the boy was filled with wonder ment as he said to himself, Surely. there never was such beautiful doll. How pleased little sister would be with itr'

 Afterward the colonel walked calmly to the tent of the marshal and reported what he had done
 The marshal could hardly repress his consternation and sorrow, but as Francois had confessed that he had liberated a prisoner taken from the ranks of the English. there was noth- ing to do but court-martial the lad The penalty, of course. was death.
 Next morning Francois was led out to be shot. But so much was he loved by his soldiers that not q man in the squad but refused to fire the fatal shot.
