Just as soon as his honorable mother
had left the room, Yen forgot what
she had said, and thrust the littiesE
finger OF his little left hand right into
the softest. sweetest and hottest part
OF the tart.
Now, he sat beside the window,
feeling very sad and sore, for all the

"Fie, for shame!" cried his mother,
and she went on with her work.
Just then an old blind man carrying
guitar came down the street. He
stopped just under the window by
which Yen was seated, and leaning
against the wall began drumming

he played were very lively and merry

At last, however, a king out hunting
In the forest passed the blacksmith s
home and saw the girl sitting at her
wheel spinning He stood entranced
at her beauty and dismounting from
his horse came over TO the window.
He asked her TO marry him and go TO
his palace TO live. No sooner had he
said these words than there was a
clap OF thunder, terrible laughter and
he was stricken blind.
Long and loud wept the girl and all
the kings retainers and servants.
Suddenly, 10 eyeryone's surprise, the
spinning wheel began TO turn and sing
q queer tune, saying:
In the hear OF the rose
A magic charm CLOVIS
II this charm you can find
Twill give sight 10 the blind.
A drop of clear dew
Makes clouded eyes new
This magic charm CLOVIS
In the heart Of the rose.
At once every lady set out search
ing for the red roses. The maiden
was the first TO find them and bring
the healing dew TO the king. whose
sight was restored by the first drop.
You may be sure the spinning
wheel stood in a place of honor at
the castle. In fact pictures OF II were
craven on the shields of the kings
warriors as a coat of arms.
The witch, they say, became so
angry when she heard the kings sight
had been restored that she stamped

she disappeared right into the earth
and hasn't been seen from that day
to this.

frustrated early today by the telephone
operator at the local exchange sound

the robbers that they dropped the
money and stamps that they had
taken from the safe and ran. Before
attempting to blow open the safe, the
men. who are believed to be five in
number, took tire precaution to over
power the two night policemen on
duty, and after beating them into in
sensibility. took them to the town
lookup. where, with the use of the Of
ficers' keys, the robbers opened the
doors and locked the policemen up.
The break was made about 3 A. NJ
!. The men then put the fire alarm
box out of commission and went to
the postoffice, to which they gained
entrance by breaking down the door.
and started drilling the safe. There
were two explosions. The noise Of the
first one awakened Mrs. w. A. Haynes,
who lives in the vicinity and she call
ed up the night telephone operator.
There ia a fire alarm signal box at the
telephone exchange, and the operator
promptly pulled in an alarm. BY this
time the burglars had blown off the
door Of the safe, and had removed a
bag containing $50 in money and
stamps. when they became frightened
by the sounding of the alarm and
made their escape, leaving their loor

fired several shots at the fleeing men.
His shots were answered by volley
from the band, but no one was struck
on either side. When the two police
officers were found in the lookup near
" an hour after the robbers had es-
capped. they showed much evidence OF
a hard fight with their assailants. Po-
liceman John NJ. Norton was badly
beaten suffering Commissions and cuts
on his head and body. while the other
officer. Joseph Collett, was less severe
