NLUFFY was a little dog-a white,
II woolly little dog-with the DEAR
Il est black nose and pink-rimmed
eyes you ever saw.
He belonged to a very pretty little
maid named Daisy Dean. And, al
though Daisy Dean loved Fluffy, she
sometimes teased him almost beyond
his endurance.
One day while Daisy was playing
with Fluffy in the yard she conceived
the idea of dressing the poor fellow up
like baby, and ran into the house
and got some of her big dolls clothes.
Now, doll doesn't mind being dressed
up in long, burdensome clothes like a
baby, but it was real torture to Fluffy

ing given up tryig to imprison old
Tabby. Daisy had scratched nose,
Jean a bitten hand and Aggie badly
scratched and bitten wrist. So they
had let old Tabby go. But, thinking
that Fluffy would be gentle and submit
to Imprisonment, they set about look
ing for him. Fluffy, Fluffy!" called
Daisy. "Oh, where can that dog have
gone to? l wouldn't wonder if he's in
the barnyard. He has a low taste
sometimes and goes there to call on the
horse and COW and chickens. He's of
aristocratic blood, but he has low
tastes. If I find him there 1 shall
punish him severely by keeping him in
the bear cage all afternoon"
So to the barnyard went the three
children hunting for runaway Fluffy
Los Angeles herald., 1909-10-03

the entire family began assisting Daisy
in the search. But they looked in the
wrong direction, for while they went
about among the neighbors, even into
the busy part of the city, Fluffy was
trotting down the dusty country road
as fast as his little feet could carry
him. And he was very light-hearted,
too, for now he was to find a home in
the country, where his feelings would
be considered He loved Daisy as
much as he could under the circum-
stances, but he felt hurt that she
should tease and hurt him so much.
So he felt that he was justified in hunt
where he would have certain rights un-
disputed. Freedom he felt he must
have, and he knew the fairy would not
lead him to a home where that was
not to be granted him.
After going some distance Fluffy sud
denly beheld a pretty cottage nesting
among green trees. A white paling
fence ran about the well kept grounds,
where flowers bloomed everywhere. A
high gate, rose twined, opened into the
yard. Fluffy stopped at the gate and
peeped through the palings. Yes, there
on the front porch sat a dear, white
haired couple. The old gentleman was
fast asleep in his chair, and the old
lady was knitting some soft pink yarn.
Fluffy stood irresolute for moment,
then, remembering the words of the
fairy he decided to make himself seen.
First he began wagging his white bushy
tail Then he barked, gently at first,
then more vigorously, as II saying

mo, mother none but the one you
put me up to-"
"Why, child. what do you mean?'
Don't you remember you said that
if Aunt Mary asked me to have the
second piece of pie or cake I was to
say, Thank you, no; I've had enough?'
Well, / said it at each dinner time
when l wanted the second piece"

but he was not there. Then to the
house they went and searched every
room for the white doggie. In vain, for
no sign of him was to be found.
Daisy's mamma said she had not seen
him. nor had she heard him bark.
Where could he have gone? And then
Los Angeles herald., 1909-10-03

Mamma-Hore, your shoes are all
worn out again; do you think you
could possibly keep your feet off the
ground two weeks?

had roller skates.

Is your Family Reading
s.WOrth While?"


So much of current reading Is
merely entertaining at best that n
question naturally arises, is it worth
while? Your sons and daughters are
bound to read something. They hun
ger for stories which take them into
the other half of the world-the world
of az venture, of valor, Of fortune-mak-
ing. The problem is to give them
such reading without putting into
their hands the literature that is
either silly or demoralizing. The
editors Of The Youths Companion
believe that a periodical can be made
entertaining and yet worth while, "
and The Companion is conducted on
that theory. And this is one reason
why more than half a million Ameri-
can families read it. The paper IS
safe, but not dull. Its tales of adven-
ture illustrate the advantages OF
fortitude and self-reliance. Its stories
of character lay stress on the truth
that right conduct is ne yer a mistake.

The Markets.
NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
Features Of the Days Dealings in All
The Leading Stocks.

New York, Oct. 26.-The speculation in
stocks showed clear evidence today of
coming to hating place. following the
rather feverish fluctuations of the late
markets. This was a consequence of the
persistent uncertainty over the money
outlook. in spite of the relief afforded by
yesterdays developments over the mme-
date prospect 1t was growing i'm
preston in stock market circles that
while the relief might be relied on to
check the urgent pressure which the Ii
quotation was beginning to show, it
would not be discreet to attempt a re-
newal of important operations for the ad-
vance.
The relaxation in the tension of the
money market which came yesterday was
believed to be due. in fact, to a slowing
up of speculative demands on the money
market and to be dependent on a con-
tinuance of a policy of moderation in
that respect. The approach of the United
states Steel quarterly meetings also was
calculated to have some repressive effect
on the speculation, owing to the question
which has arisen as to the response the
market is likely to make to the most IA
vorable influences which might emanate
from that meeting. The increasing weak
ness was due to this cause. The divided
action announced after the market closed,
