nothing surprises me now. Well, we have seen something of the world, so far, brother"
 The first apple said. "Aye. we have" Then the third apple, that had been listening to his companions. put in: "And we'll see even more, I'm thinking. be- fore we end our time by sitting snugly in pie or dumpling. An, apples like us are not eaten at once for persons buying us want to keep us to look at for . while. So, guess we'll live some time before we go to our destiny in the shape of pie or dumpling.''
 I'm happy in any case,'' smiled the second apple, the one that had been nudged. If only people knew that we enjoy being eaten as much as they en- joy eating us, they'd never hesitate about putting an end to us.''
 That's because we're born to be eat en-" said apple number one.
 Just then lady, leading q little boy, came along. As the little boys eyes fell on the three red apples he cried out: ''Oh. mamma, I want one of 'em." The lady stopped to give the smiling grocer an order, and the tradesman took up one

 When they reached the top of the hill Bert took Scotty's arm and, lowing to his rich and finely dressed comrades, said: Here's a hero-a brick of q kid, girls and boys, and he's going to be- come one of us-if he will Three cheers for the Newsboy who is BIG- HEARTED enough to save fools life. fool who hopes to repay his great service in some way"
 scotty felt bit abashed. Playing the hero was not in his line, but he could not get away from the girls and boys who swarmed-50 fin number-about him. Each one wanted to shake his hand and to say something nice to him. So, blushing like girl Scotty stood there, wishing he could break away and run home to his dear old Granny"
 The next day three boys. Bert leading them, tapped at the door to Scotty's home. When Granny" admitted them Bert dragged in behind him fine coast CT, one that any boy might be happy to own. And he bore a letter from his father to Scotty, asking him to call at his office on little matter of business.
 You see ma'am, this little present designating the coaster) Is for Scotty, your grandson. I know 1t is a trifling thing, but I haven't any other way of expressing my gratitude to him. But in the years that are to come I want to be q friend to your grandson-a friend he may call upon in any sort of pinch or trouble. And-papa has a proposition to make to him."
 | And Bert's fathers proposition was q very good one. He proposed that Scotty
 and his grandmother move into one of
 his pretty residences, where half the house should be set aside for their use and the remaining rooms let to another tenant Scotty's grandmother should be caretaker. thus paying their rent in look ing after the place. Scotty was to at-

When 5cotty seized his racing opponent. the fellow tried fighting him off. What are you about, you nnmbskull!" he bel lowed in Scotty's face. "Ill give you what you deserve for this-if you call it joke"
 But the watching crowd on top the hill were cheering wildly. and after two or three brief seconds, when Scotty and his companion -in-arms stopped rolling and sat up, the latter heard such cries as Good for the News Kid! He saved Bert's life! Good for the chap with the bum sled !"
 Rubbing his face, the boy, whose name was Bert, looked inquiringly at Scotty. Scotty pointed finger toward the bot tom of the slide. Look at our sleds," he said. And see that runaway horse going down the street? He ran over your coaster just now. Good thing you

reach within the space of few moments. Scotty was sitting upright on his sled and knew that he could manage to miss the runaway horse and dray. But the boy who raced beside him was lying face downward on his coaster, and evidently was too busy taunting scotty to notice the danger that threatened him. Scotty had no time to think. His first impulse was carried out instantly. He threw him. self from his sled--which was a few feet from the boys sled and slightly in ad- vance of it-just in time to stop the sled's progress and to grasp the boy in his arms. The two rolled over two or three times in the snow and their sleds went on to- ward the bottom of the slippery slide.

tend school along with Bert, and work on Saturday-certain hours-for Berts father, who was wealthy merchant.
 Well, well, son, that home made sled just carried you right into good luck" laughed good old Granny" q few days after they had moved into their new quarters. And you don't have to sell papers any more, but can go to school and learn all about books and business. Oh. am so thankful things have turned out in this way for my fine boy"
 And I mean to prove myself worthy of Berts and his fathers kindness to me-" declared Scotty. T only saved Bert from sliding under that runaway horses feet. And just see what they-Bert and his father are doing for you and me, Granny"
 Dear, unconceited boy" smiled Granny"
 Then they sat down to supper to talk 1t all over.

 It took Bert some minutes to under stand 1t all Then truth dawned in his mind. He stood looking at Scotty, shame in his face. "Gee," he said at last, q was pup, wasn't I? Was poking fun at you at the very minute you saved my life. Say-I don't know what to say I'm so ashamed of myself. I've been a fool-a big headed fool. But-where Is your sled, old man?"
 ''There, unhurt," said Scotty. 'It stopped soon after I tumbled off. It's wooden runners don't go like steel run ners, you see.''
 "Say-will you shake my hand?" And Bert held out hand to Scotty. And I'll not ask you to forgive my conduct that would be too much. But-as sure as my name Is Bert Jackson-I1l show you that I know how to repay good turn. Come-let5 go to the top of the hill. My, but that horse is going some,

Come, take positioni' Robbie and Jack at once struck brave and daring atti- tudes, Robbie, making believe he was about to slip from the mountain side, was holding excitedly to his staff, which was firmly planted in the snow. Jack was in the act of climbing a very dan gerous point (the danger being suggested in his face and attitude) and was looking boldly at the window of his own home. where his mother stood smiling out at him. Katherine took a more unassuming attitude, leaning gracefully on her walk ing stick and smiling into the camera.
 After the pictures were snapped, Mrs. Kingdom told them their ten minutes had expired and that they must run into the house to get warm. Jack accompanied his play-fellows to their home and there Mrs. Kingdom gave them some bread and jelly, and they all talked over the excite ment of the morning, the climbing of the Jungfrau.
 And we'll print your pictures on post cards and you may send them to all your friends" promised Mrs. Kingdom.
 And that was how Katherine, Robbie and Jack came to be called 'The Alpine Climbers" for that was what they wrote across the postcards on sending them to their young friends.
 ''It was a great day-when we went to the top of the Jungfrau," Katherine would say when describing her trip into the Alps.
 Aud her mother would laugh and reply: And 1t was a daring venture for three little folks like Katherine. Robbie and Jack"

 ''Yes, must sell all my morning papers, getting ready for any afternoon extras" said Scotty.
 The next day was Saturday and Scotty had no night school to attend. So he got through with his chores and went out to the coasting hill to enjoy an hour with. his new sled. Hardly had he appeared, however, when the other children, who had fine steel-framed coasters to ride on, began to laugh at him and to ridicule

"A STORY roR wEr ONES.

0N top the big basket. just out side the grocer's door, lay three
 red apples. Underneath them, and all round them,. were other apples,
 brothers and sisters, no doubt. But all the others had varying colors, such as green and yellow. Some were pink checked on one side and apple-green on the other, with variations of shades. But the three little apples of which this story tells were red, redder, reddest. Not one spot of any other color marred their richly-tinted jackets. They were as beautiful on one side as on tle other. And that is why the grocer had put them topmost of the basket of apples displayed outside his door.
 As they lay there one of t1em nudged the other and said.

MUST Be
CLOSE TO PEOPLE
Good Work Possible Only Where
Complete Sympathy Exists, Says
Rev. r. M. Traver.

In the course OF an address on THE
pastor as comrade and counselor" be-
fore the Baptist conference In the
Woodward-ave. Baptist church, Mon
day morning. the Rev. Rufus M. Trav-
err, OF the First Baptist church, Pom
tiac, Mich, made plea for a closer
Relationship between the clergy ana
laity. He said In part:
Our men OF today demand that we
exhibit, as pastors, the spirit OF broth
erly interest and sacrifice, which was
first exhibited by the Christ. The
man who spends all his time In his
study In theoretical sermonizing, how
ever eloquent II may be, will not un-
derstand the people nor be under
stood by them. As Christian coun-
selor, the pastor must discover the
whole life OF the people. They never
fee, at home with the minister OF the
church when he does not make HIM
self welcome guest In the home
where they dwell. That minister viii
have no great hold upon the hearts OF
his congregation who Is not sought
by his people as a counselor In all
sorts of questions. This doubles your
work, II triples II, but II wins for you
the spirit Of comradeship. When the
people are persuaded that the pastor
will die for them, they will live for
him. II means sacrifice and petty
round OF detail. Some OF you may
feel as II the unwilling advertisement
of a young country pastor was, after
all, true: 'Wanted-A strong, young
horse to do the work OF country
minister
There Is no need OF arguing the
question that In every church, even
the Roman Catholic, the successful
pastor OF today Is a man among men.
We cannot get away from the spirit
of the age. You may call Ii the spirit
of Socialism, you may call II the spirit
of organisation. but mere force OF pull
pit eloQuence cannot meet the needs
of the age in bringing men into the
Kingdom"
The conference appointed a commit
tee, of which the Rev. M. p. Fixes
Is chairman, to consider the question
of inviting George Robert Cairns, New
York evangelist, to come to Detroit
for q years evangelistic work. The
Rev. Frederick T. Galpin, OF the First
Baptist church, announced that the
Rev. w. M. Lawrence, OF New York,
who 10 to conduct the Lenten SER
vices during the Baptists' week in the
Detroit opera house, would hold meet
ings In his church, four nights, be-
ginning March 81.
