LITTLE ANNE OLIVER.
BY LUCY A. LEEDS.

a recollection of their giver's parting
words of advice
Il should take those kids to the sea
II were you, by hook or by crook"
She glanced at the kids hanging
breathlessly on her next words, poor
things, as though the fate of empires
depended upon them. They were thin,
WVax-like, anaemic, pining for fresher air
than that of the noisy, dirty London
streets. Other children, beggars almost
could run and play and shout barefooted
IN the green fields or on the shining
sands, healthy and happy, despite their
rags; 1t seemed as though the little ones
OF the crowded towns and cities were
tated to endure even a heavier burden
than the poor in the country and by the
sea.
What was Lady Chilcote and mere
conventionality beside the health and
happiness of these young, frail creatures
dependent solely on her decision?
Nan is going to say yes! She is
Phil Look at herl" screamed Gerry
capering round the table
Yes, l am. We will pack up tomor-
row, children, As Phil says, we can but
come home again if we make no money
but surely we have not got our talents
for nothing. We viii try and turn them
to account" said little Anne Oliver.

The following extraordinary letter
was written by Horace Greeley to
President Lincoln after the battle of
Bull Run. 1t will be remembered that
before the battle Mr.. Greeley kept a
standing headline in his paper urging

New Scare for
Timid Londoners
Members of Commons Says Germans
Have Store of Ammunition and
Soldiers in City.

LONDON, May 1s.-The German scare
grows apace. and no sooner is one wild
rumor at rest than another arises to try
the nerves of the English people. Last
week there was the story of a big German
liner filled with troops, which, 1t was
alleged, had entered the Humber, surveyed
the possibilities of making a landing, and
departed without being sighted by the
British warships with which the North
sea is supposed to be closely detted. cot
Today Sir John Barlow, a liberal member
of the house of common and a well known
merchant, started the country with the
sensational suggestion that the Germans
nave established a depot of arms, con-
ia lining 5000 Mauser rifles in the center
of London, together with 100000 rounds of
ammunition for the use of 5000 trained
German soldiers now employed in various
capacities in England as an evidence that
Sir John attaches some credence to this
remarkable story, he has notified War
Secretary Haldane of his intention to
question him concerning 1t in Parliament.

Tunnel Over
Tennessee Pass
Breaks Away
Five Hundred Feet of Rio Grsnde
Track is Buried Under Mass
.of Dirt.

DENVER. Colo. May 1s.-Nearly 800 feet
of the famous tunnel over Tennessee pass
on the Denver & Rio Grande railway, To-
Gated about five miles west OF Leadville,
caved in last night. There were no casual
ties.
The cavern occurred about 1000 feet from
the portal of the tunnel. probably at one Of
three air shafts that lead up through the
tunnel roof, and was undoubtedly caused
by the melting of the unprecedented heavy
SHOWS. Although heavily timbered
throughout, the tunnel is always carefully
watched and precautions have been
doubled during the last few weeks.
The discovery Of the cave-in was made
by a track walker. Believing that the vast
mass of dirt and rock had buried a train,
he hurried back to the first station and
gave warning. A train. bearing engineers
and officials OF the road. was rushed to
the scene. but in the meantime the wires
had been at work and II was found that
there had been no loss of life or any one
hurt.

the cavern was probably less serious h
