Dangerous Enough.

Rear Admiral Mason. chief Of the
governments bureau Of ordnance, talked
of martial inventions at a recent dinner
in Washington.
MANY of these inventors" he said,
with their automatic torpedocs, their
new explosives, and what-not, fail TO
take into account the danger to the
users of their inventions. They are like
the farmer and the bull.
"a farmer was driving bull along a
fairly busy country road.

WATER Pans for Poultry.

In the construction of a water pan
for poultry some provision should be
made to keep out dust and litter. The
forms shown in the illustration permits
fowls to drink from different sides at
one time and presents the smallest

A little girl was a witness before him,
and he preceded to ascertain whether
she knew the nature of an oath. The
child, in answer to questions, said she

Little Elizabeth was an orphan. At the time of her parents death her aunt-a very cross and selfish old woman-took her to her home, promising her food and clothing for a certain amount of work In return. The work proved plentiful and heavy, but the food was small in quan- tity and poor in quality. and the clothing that was given to the little orphan. to wear was some castof garments of former little servant whose lot had been So hard that she had run away, leaving her old rags behind her. And thus Eliza beth found herself dressed in dirty and ragged clothes as soon as her own little wardrobe was worn out. And with the constant work 1t did not take long to ruin her pretty frocks that her dear mother had made for her.
 And as the weeks wore on Elizabeth grew thin, pale and weak from the ef- fects of heavy and constant work and insufficient food. And never an hour had she to play, for as soon as her daily tasks were completed she was so weary and sleepy that she would go to her cold. cheerless attic room and creep into the miserable bed that had been occupied by the former little servant.
 One night as Elizabeth lay slumbering and shlyering In the dark room a voice whispered in her ear: Come. awake and harken to me. l have something to tell you"
 Elizabeth opened her eyes and was sur prised 70 see standing there beautiful little girl. She was comfortably dressed in nice warm garments trimmed with fur. She held a silver lamp in her hand, and Its brilliant flames lighted up the miser- able room, showing Its aged and rotting ceiling and broken bits of old furniture.
 Who are you, beautiful and happy lit tie girl?" asked Elizabeth in a voice of surprise. Are you q fairyi If so, please take me away from this awful place. l shall die soon If obliged to remain here"
 No, l am not a fairy, but the little girl who used to be a servant in this house. One cold night last winter-just about n year ago-I became so miserably unhappy that l determined to run away from this wicked old woman and this house. which wns nothing more than q jail 10 ne stole out while the old woman was asleep in her easy chair be side the great and beautiful fire that al- ways burns for her in the library.

woman's threats. At the first sound of her voice she hurried out of doors and softly closed the door behind her. Then to the river she flew, her poor little half bare feet scarcely touching the ground as she sped over 1t. She was sore afraid that her old aunt might go into the hall and look from the window and see her running away. But she knew that the only other servant in the house was an old woman who slept like a log, and whom it was almost impossible to rouse from her slumber, for aside from her be- ing deaf she was usually so tired at night that as soon as she got into bed she was as one dead. So it would take the wicked aunt sometime to rouse the old woman; then 1t would take the old servant some time to understand that she was to dress and go after the runaway. And consider ing all this delay Elizabeth knew that she would have time to reach the river and to hide beneath the clump of shrub bery. Besides, whatever was to happen might happen before the old serving woman came after her.
 As soon as she reached the bank of the river little Elizabeth found the clump of evergreen shruSbery and sank beside 1t, drawing her thin wrap about her, for she was shaking with the cold.
 Scarcely had she taken her place by the shrub when to her amazement she saw coming on the surface of the frozen river

 Yes, yes" eagerly replied Elizabeth, her pretty childish eyes wide with sur prise and hope, and her poor heart all a iutter. T have seen that lovely clump of evergreen shrubbery. but have cever had time to go near it." O
 Well, do as I bid you, if you would be made happy" repeated the strange little visitor. AS soon as the moon peeps into that window do you get from that cold old bed and wrap your rags about you as securely as you can and go to the spot I have told you about. And I assure you that you shall not have long to wait. Something very. strange, but very splen- did, will happen to you. And now must be going, for I have told you all that is necessary.

 The little girl blew out the lamp flame md disappeared, but whether she went out through the door or just vanished into tbiu air Elizabeth did not know. And for a long time Elizabeth lay in the dark room, her eyes closed. Presently she sat up with start The moon was beaming full in her face. It was time for her to creep from the house But-had she been dreamingf Or had there really been a

little girl in the room, little girl who had once been a servant in that house?
 Elizabeth stepped upon the floor; went to the window and looked out. It was a moonlight night, still, but intensely cold. Should she go to the river? What if nothing good should happen and she out in the cold? She might really freeze in the snow. for her clothing was so thin and her shoes full of holes. But was this place to be preferred to a more sudden deathl Here she was dying by inches, working and starving her poor little life away. Yes. she would go to the river to the shelter of the clump of evergreen bush and wait-wait, If nothing hap pened-well, she would not be any the worse of. Her bed was almost as cold as the out t-of-doors. Her room was like ice. She could only freeze, anyway.
 Taking her thickest garment she wrapped 1t about her and crept down stairs. Just as she reached the front door and opened 1t to pass out she heard her old aunt's voice calling from the library:
 Who dares to go prowling about my hall? Is that you, Liz? Come right here, you little sneak-thief What are you do- ing out of your room at this time of nightf It's o'clock. Come here this in- stant And if you can't give an account of your stealing down stairs in this way I'll beat you, l wisl."

huge swan, gliding over the ice as though swimming It came nearer and nearer to where Elizabeth sat, and when opposite her it stopped and turned its head in her direction. Then the most marvellous thing happened. Up went one of the giant swans wings and out stepped as dainty a fairy as one could wish to behold. Straight up the bank to where Elizabeth sat came the fairy, smiling and beckoning to the wondering child. Eliza beth, her heart so full of gladness, could not speak, but she followed the fairy upon the river and into the suggest little place under the giant swans wing.
 Oh, how cozy and warm 1t was there. Soft feathers wrapped her about and the cold soon left her limbs, and she fell into a sweet sleep, the little fairy sitting beside her. smiling
 And how they did traveli The swan fairly glided over the ice with the swift ness of the wind. But so soon Elizabeth fell asleep that she took no notice of the time that passed Indeed, so peacefully did she slumber that no dreams came to her, and she felt only the sweetness of rest and warmth.
 When at last Elizabeth awoke she found herself in a cozy room, all furnished in pink and white. Beside a window sat a sweetfaced lady of middle age. At the moment of Eiizabeth's waking she was looking out of the window watching a flock of birds that had just alighted to feed upon some crumbs she had evidently thrown out for them, for in her lap she held a great bowl full of crumbed bread. And as Elizabeth watched her she kept throwing handfuls of the crumbs from the window, smiling as the birds scrambled to get them.
 Having fed the birds to their fill the lady rose and came softly towards the bed in which Elizabeth lay. 'Ah, are you awake, little One:' And as she asked the question she bent over Elizabeth and took her hand, gently stroking it.
 How came l here?" asked Elizabeth, looking about her.
 You were found half-frozen iH the snow last night. One of my servants was out hunting rabbits and came across you on the bank of the river. Instead of hunting about among the houses that bOr- der the river for your home he put you in his sleigh. wrapped you snugly iu fur robe and brought you to me. And how much I should love to have you for my own little girl. for l have no children Of my own. and my heart has a place for al dear little daughter. But, come. deIrie. tell me where you live and what your name is"
 Slowly Elizabeth told her story. not emitting tEe visit of the little girl to her attic bedroom auI her advice. And then she told of how she had gone to the river and how a great swan had come with fairy hidden beneath its wing. And how -Elizabeth-ha gone with the fairy; but whfthor she did not know.
