ago. There was little girl named
Anne Randolph, who lived on a
farm not far from Philadelphia
Her papa and two brothers had
joined the American army and
she and her mother were left alone
to take care of the farm.
Now, Anne had a cow, which
her papa had given her when II
was a little calf, and the two
were great friends. and Anne took
all the care of 1t. One day during
the time that the Egnlish were sta
toned in Philadelphia some Eng
lish soldiers came out to the farm
where Anne lived and tied rope
around the horns of her COW ant
drove her away. Anne cried tc
them not to take her pet, but the
rough soldiers did not pay any at.

DAILY SNORT STORY
Magazine Courtship
BY Frank H. Williams.


"How very peculiar" declared
Jessie Burden as she opened the
package which the messenger
boy had given her.
In the package reposed a copy
of the 'Ingleslde Magazine" and
on top of the periodical was the
card of "Mr. Fred Wilson" Jes-
sizes face turned rosy red as she
glanced at the card.
Dear, bashful Fred" she
whispered, and, looking hastily
around to see that no one was
watching her, she kissed the card
and placed her hot, flushed cheek
lovingly against 1t.
After an interval of two days,
during which Fred, much to Jes-
sizes secret roget, failed to call,
she received another package
from him. This package contain
ed a single copy of the Ladies
Companion" magazine. The next
day came the open Road; the
following day brought her the
Victor Magazine" and the day
after that the Empire Monthly"

who she was and where she lived
and all about her cow, which she
had raised from a calf. "She has
always been my COW, Lord Corn

Then for another interval of two
days nothing appeared. Again
on the third day Jessie received

Fred neither called nor did Jessie
receive any word from him.
Puzzled at the curious state OF

she had told him all. "Aha, I see

Even after this discovery Fred
