 And during many weeks the men worked on the bridge and Jack and Mabel would stop on their way from school to watch them placing the great beams and iron rods and strong boards of the floor. And they counted the days till the bridge should be completed. and when they might go into the Fairyland beyond.
 The official opening of the bridge was q gala day for the people of both sides of the river. Before the sun was an hour high in the heavens farmers wag. ons, carts, carriages and buggies were lined up to cross the Great bridge which had brought the families of opposite sides into close communication. Formerly the people living on opposite sides of the river had been as strangers, and few of

 But Jack, who had fancied so many beautiful farms on the other side, could not believe that his father had really seen the better places.

 It did not take Dan long to seek out the poor of the town and to establish many of them in small business fitting their capacity. Others of the poor he pensioned, for they were old and could not work. And soon a fine hospital was built for the sick poor, and everything done to make them comfortable and to aid in their. recovery. And every one marveled at the money Dan had to spend and at the lovely little home he bought at the outskirts of the town and wond- cred still more when he set up factory for the weaving of cloth where those who worked for him were paid liberally And as the years rolled on Dan prospercd and when in his twenty sixth year he married a lovely good woman the entire town sang aloud his praises

In vain he had tried to get work from first this one and that one, but all to whom he applied for en- ployment shook their heads and said they had no work for him. Dan. being of an independent spirit, loving his liberty, and holding hopes for the future. had thus kept himself from becoming an apprentice to some weaver of cloth or maker of cartwheels. and had fared better-even while considering his poverty and suffer- ing at times-than fared the poor little apprentice boy of his acquaintance.
 ''Ill run to my room and clean out the bottle,' whispered Dan. And hiding his blue treasure beneath his thin coat he ran with all possible speed to his room which was in the rear of a stable
