She heard them, and she dared not go
up.
While she stood in the woodshed tell

child heard a step that she knew.
Kris hoped down on to the top step
Of the stairs which led to the room
overhead After moment she hoped
to the next. and after her came. one by
one. twelve baby turkeys.
Margery screamed with delight and
ran to catch Kris and pet the whole
family, while Hannah rushed upstairs
in dismay and saw a sight that shock
ed her more than the fear Of tramps.
In thst room trunks and things not
in use were stored. and menth or
more ago Hannah had carried up there
q large square "squaw basket" with a
cover. a basket such as the Oneida In
dams Of New York state make for
various household uses Of their white
sisters.

neatly mended and laid away till fall

The room was put IN order and the
door closed. and Kristine was provid-
ed with place in the yard. Every
day she wandered off with her babies,
but she never started until she had
visited the breakfast table with her
whole brood 10 get her regular moru-
ing meal.
L, At first Ii was funny to see them run
around and pick up crumbs, but as
they grew 1t began to be troublesome
to have flock Of turkeys so much at
home In the house. SO mamma made
a new law that Kristine and her fam
lily must be fed at the door.
After that her life was like that of
the other turkeys. only she knew her
name and would come when called and
never failed to run up to Margery
whenever she saw her.
And the dinner that walked away
last year supplied twelve tables With
dinners this year and provided Mar
gerry with q fine lot Of pocket money
for her pains.

generally making visit TO the table
for her usual treats.
She had not been out very long when
one morning Margery went out to see
her and she was gone. No one had
seen her since breakfast. Margery felt
very bad and after looking all about
came to the sad conclusion that she
had strayed away and got lost, for the
whole flock wandered far off to feed.
But the next morning at breakfast
time Kris walked in, as usual. and be-
gan to beg for food. Margery Rugged
her and fed her. and she ate as though
she was starved.
When she had finished her meal she
went out again, and about noon her
little mistress sought her again, and
again she was missing.
This now became the regular thing
with Kris. Every morning she was on
hand for her breakfast. and in spite of
watching she would slip sway and
hide so that no one could find her
again.
Poor Margery was almost heartbro-
ken at this tendency to vagrancy In
her pet. but Hannah only smiled and
said:
wait a bit aud you'll see something
nice"
But. though Hannah had her suspi-
cions. she was not prepared for what
really occurred one day.

going on for few weeks there came a

RAILROADS BEGIN
 BUYING SUPPLIES

Cleveland, O.. May 26.-(Special)-- The Iron Trade Review tomorrow will say: Railroad buying, so long deferred and so much hoped for, has been re- sumed at an encouraging rate.
 Developments in the trade are all most entirely favorable. The Steel corporation is now operating "A per cent of it's capacity and has ordered the resumption of the Riverside plant of the National Tube company.
 At Benwood, W. Va, an idleness of 20 months, some large Independent com panies have even greater capacity in operation.
 The strike on the lakes is annoying, but over 200 vessels are in commission, that number being more than enough to meet the requirements of the ore trade.
 In the east the pig iron market in foundry grades is fairly active at some what higher prices and about 10000 tons of basic have been purchased. Tn other parts of the country the market is rather quiet.
 The heaviest buying by the railraods is in the Chicago district, where or derS include 24,OOO tons or shapes ana plates for the Simple Railway Appli- ance company; 1000 tons of rails, contracts for @ large number of new cars and for the repair of several thousand old ones, orders for 100 loco motives for the Union Pacific and 15O for the Hartman lines.
 The east has not been unrepresented by new contracts. The Eastern Steel company vii furnish 5000 tons of shapes and the Central Iron and Steel company 1000 tons of plates for track elevation of the Pennsylvania and Reading at Philadelphia.
 The New York Shipbuilding company has orders for two car floats re- quiring 750 tons of plates.
 The McClntick Marshall Construction company has taken contracts for b50O tons of structural material for the Bos- ton and Albany and 2900 tons for the Sunny Side viaduct of the Pennsylvania Tunnel and Terminal company.
 Recent buying of steel bars has brought heavy specification to the mills. The demand for old material has inn proved and prices are advancing. The recent advance in prices of wire prod uctions has been followed by the plac- ing of a vast number of orders.
