\ was one Of those last, exasperating
days before final examinations, and
Bob had worked through all the day
light hours and we'll into the night at
his books, brushing up on the things he
had slid through without sufficient
preparation during the term. He knew
that he had to grind or miss his pro-
motion. and he had been grinding. It
was long after his usual bedtime. The
books were scattered about his room
and the fire had burned low in the
CRATE.
Bother said Bob, "if I had known
that was going to have all this work
making UP for my carelessness would
have kept up with my lessons at the
time"
What timer asked a little voice
that seemed to come from the fireplace,
while the fire, which had been smolder-
ing, broke out into sudden flame What
time? Which time? Who time?'
Bob looked toward the fireplace with
wide open eyes. There was nothing but
shower of sparks going up the Chin
ney.
fWlTy time fly time; time flies and
fly times; why didn't your"
There was not a thing to be seen;
only this little voice coming seemingly
from out the CRATE. Bob had heard of
fairies and had vague idea of their
being gauzy little creatures with yell
low hair hanging down their backs and
with long. diamond capped wands in
their hands. This was a fairy; he was
sure, because the voice was too small
for any one human, and no one human
would talk so fooishly
He was not bit scared-not a. little.

to be scared, and then there was moth

peered around the andirons and looked
under the settee for the voice, but he

fairies was an everyday thing with him.
And when he made up his mind that he
could not find the voice he decided to
answer the question.
We'll" he began, looking politely at
the place where the voice seemed to
be, ut was so much easier then to slip
through without the studying"
Il slip, you slip. he slips; we slip, you
slip, they slip" said the voice; 'stud-i-
ing, stud-you-ing, stud-he-ing; stud
we-ing, stud-you-ing. stud -they-ing."
Bob felt that there was something
wrong with that conjugation, but he
ran ii over in his mind and it seemed
to go all right. Singular" he said.
First person singular, Singular"
squeaked the voice; second singular,
third sing-he-lar Do you want the
plural, too?
No said Bob. II thank you, but L
did not ask for the conjugation."
Did not ask OF course, you asked.
That is what everybody does"
Besides" said Bob bravely, II do

quite likely. Go to the bottom of the
class"
Bob grasped hard the arms of his
chair, for he found he was going down.
Down and down he went with the
rapidity of an express elevator in a
very tall building. My, what a class"
he exclaimed.
Hush! No whispering in school
hours" said the piping voice Here
we are now. Attention, class q in zy
cometry. Why is Zygadite? You may
answer Annie Nation
Bob waited some time for the answer,
but none came. 1t was all dark and

of some far distant fire in a cloud of
gray fog. He could see no one, but he
had the feeling OF a great number Of
pupils in long lines about him.

question. What Shall it be?" and the
flute like voice broke into the silence.
THAT is very good Now, children,

A Little Hobby Horse

There was a little hobby horse,
Whose name i do not know
An idle little hobby horse.
That said he wouldn't go.
But his master said. "If 1t be so
That you will only play,
You idle rogue, you shall not eat
My nice, sweet, clover hay"
Then Hobby shook his saucy head,
And said: "If that's the case,
Rather than go without my hay,
I'll try to mend my pace"

OLD MINES
AND NEW.

There is certai.. glsmor abo.t
the story of past ages that may be
used to deceive our present lives.
A mining engineer is quoted as say
ing that, according to his expert
ence, an old mine always attracts
more attention than new one.
People have been filled up with a
lot of tommy-rot about the wealth
OF the ancients.~ he says. land for
this reason any kind Of an Ophir
yarn makes them fall" The fact
that a mine was worked a century
or two ago may invest It with a
glamor of history and romance,
but the supreme test OF any mining
property must be the existence OF
valuable ores in commercial quaint
ties. The story of solomon or the
Aztecs viii not OF itself pay divi
dends in 1910. says the Mining Rec
ord.
John Hays Hammond, in one OF
his "don'ts7 for mining investors
warns against buying into a mine
merely because it has produced mil
lions in the past. The millions TAX
en- out are so many millions less
remaining. The same argument may
apply in some measure to the an
Client mine, which enjoys the trsdi
tion of having produced princels
