Once there was poor little girl who

fruit or flowers.
Sarah felt hungry. so she plucked an
orange from one of the lower branches
of tree which stood In front OF her
She sat down and began to peel the
orange. but-wasn't 1t queer?-the peel
ings broke of In hard pieces. At last
the orange was all peeled. and Sarah
sat down on Il great stone near her and
set the orange in her lap.
At that the orange split into ter
parts. and a most beautiful little mar
sat in the middle Of it Sarah thought
he was prince because he was dress

free he looked up at Sarah and said ir
a sweet little voice: THANK you kind

GRISTLE BREAD.
A Faverits In Norway and In Parts Of
Germany.

A Faverits In Norway and In Parts OF
Germany.
"What Is gristle bread? Why. that"
said a baker. "is a kind Of bread that
is peculiar to Norway and to some
parts of Germany. In Norway 1t has
been made for many years. and here
there are bakeries In which 1t Is made
for Norwegian patrons who still pre-
fer 1t wherever they may be.
'Tn making gristle bread the loaves
when first formed up from the dough
are laid on boards and put through an
extra heated oven In which there Is
baked on them an outer crust or skin,
the gristle. Then the loaves are turn.
ed over and put through the oven
again. so that the gristle may be baked
all over them. This quick oven makes
only that outer crust on the loaves.
which are then placed in another oven
for their final complete baking.
"Originally in Norway gristle bread
was made of rye -four only. In this
country there was a demand for a
handsomer and larger loaf. and wheat
-four was mixed with the rye. as has
now to some extent come to be the Gus
tom in Norway also. Here the pro
portions now used are about half and
half. the result being bigger loaf OF
the same weight as one Of all rye.
"Gristle bread costs more than or
binary bread because Of the greater
time and labor required In making It"

WHEN POLLY FED

On the lust day OF the long vacation
Poll" had fallen off the back fence and
had hur, her knee. The doctor said
she would not be able to walk for two
weeks So day after day she watched
the children 30 By to school. feeling
rather sud thatshe was not with them.
One afternoon papa carried her up
stairs from dinner and put her In
mammals big rocker In the front bay
window. Then ne kissed her and left
her alone with her handful Of nuts
that she had brought away from the
table.
She laid them on the window sill
and began picking out the meats. Sud.
denly her hand struck a peanut, and
away 1t whirled out Of the window
and down to the sidewalk. 1t fell
right In front Of little Italian boy.
He grabbed 1t. his dark eyes all

dow and held out the nut.
mo. don't want it." Polly smiled
You can have it"
The ragged cup came off. the curly
head bobbed bow. and sweet
'T'ank-a-you" foated up to Polly.
Polly ate her nuts slowly. watching
for more little brown eyed boys. but
none came. The school bell had stop.
ped ringing. When mamma came In
she told her all about It. Then she
asked IN eager question. and mamma
said YES"
The next afternoon when school was
out Polly was at mammals window.
and her nuts that she had saved from
dinner were on the window sill.
Two tiny girls came first. They were
not well dressed. '.They don't look rs
II they had nuts for dinner" thought
Polly.
Two English walnuts fell at their
feet and rolled down the walk. They
sprang for them and then looked up.
Polly smiled and nodded and tossed
them some peanuts.
Three little boys appeared apd then
group Of little girls. Polly threw
down nuts as long as they lasted.
The children laughed and sQuealed
and shouted. darting this way aud that
to catch the nuts. Finally when they
saw that no more were coming they
walked slowly away. eating their It'd
bits and smiling over their shoulders
to Polly at the window
The next afternoon mamma added
generous handful Of nuts to Polly's
own. and again the fun went on
Mamma enjoyed 1t almost as much as
Polly and the children. and a: night
when papa heard all about 1t, he said
he wished he could be there to see
Polly feed the chickens.
The nut tossing was kept up until
Polly was able to 60 to school herself
and even after the weather grew too
cold for open windows mam1a saw
the little children cast longing glances
up to where Polly had sat to feed her
chickens"

BOYS ESCAPE
TWO INDIANS,

Indians were numerous In the west
where Washington was In command
The portion of the country west OF the
Allegheny mountains was In 171I con
sidered the west, and the country was
not densely populated. The Indians
were always feared, and the name OF
Simon Girty, their leader. was receiV
I'd only with horror by the settlers.
The incident in this story relates to
the present vicinity Of Wheeling, W.
Va.
"wetzel, my son, is 1t not time to
bring the cattle in from pasture" saio
young Wetzel's father as he STOOD
within the cabin doorway and puned
leisurely upon his long stemmed clay
pipe.
"Yes," replied Wetzel as he arose
from his seat near the entrance ana
started upon brisk walk toward me
pasture. Leaping the low three rallied
fence. he proceeded to get the scattered
cattle together. AS he drove them
through the opening In the fence to-
ward the shed he discovered that one
of the herd was missing. After feeding
and watering the remainder he start
ed toward the pasture again In search
OF the missing COW. He gaZed ABOUT
the pasture. but no sign OF the missing
animal presented itself. Crossing the
nasture. he met his old friend. John
Kc gerson. Hello. John" cried Wetze!
":Scen any sign of our cow mean
the ,ne with the bell around its neck!
10" replied John. but did see
.llof marks In the ground up there neal
the wood pile"
"You did," in surprise.
"Tcs."
"W'e'u have look at those marks"
said Wetzel.
The hoof marks led directly toward
.he timber. At this instant n low
tinkliug was heard from the nearby
woods.
"That's her bell. John" cried Wet
eel rs he started upon Il dead run to-
ward the timber, followed by his
friend. As they neared the woods
they slacken.d their pace and listened
for the tinEling to be repeated. IL
wus again heard in Il cluster OF ceGars
nearby. AS they directed their steps
toward the bushes whoop sounded
from the clump and an Indian sprang
forth. Grasping his tomahawk, he
shyed ut John Rogerson's head. John
escaped the missile only by dartins
quickly aside.
The lads now turned and started
unon run for life toward the cabin.
Another Indian stepped from the bush
es, and the two bounded after the two
boys. AS the lads bounded on their
fears lent them speed.
"Help. Helpw yelled Wetzel as they
neared the house. The Indians heard
their cries. and they sent forth another
whoop. Young WetzeIs father ap'
reared with long barreled rifle and
fred Mt the foremost Indian. with
veil of pain the red man clapped a
hand to his shoulder and pitched head
long to the ground. The other Indian
now halted, and. picking up his wound
ed comrade, he rushed with him with
in the safety Of the forest, and was
not heard Of again. In the early morn
ing of the following day the COW was
found In the pasture and the lads were
| safe. Later In the day John Rogerson
returned to his home rejoicing over his
| escape.

HOW BESSIE
RANG CHIMES.

VIII had come home from college
for few days, and as 1t vas rainy
day he called his small sister Into the
library.
Nothing doing today, Bess," he
said. Don't you want me to play
with your
"You wouldn't care for any OF the
sit still games, like dolls and things
complained Bess.
VIII thought for moment. mo; l
haven't played dolls since my fresh
man year at college," he said. II think
I'm rather too old for that now. But
once, when was sick, got lot OF
comfort out Of just fussing round with
things, and l learned to do some eS-
periments-at least / called them that
and I'll show some of them to you
now. First run and get me a silver
tablespoon and some string, and I'll
teach you how to ring the bells OF 20
logne.'"
When Bessie had brought them to
her brother he took the spoon, tied the
thread round the lower part OF the
handle and wound the long ends round
Bessie's forefingers.
"Now, just put your fingers tight In
your ears" he said. "Then stand OF
and hit the bowl Of the spoon against
the table"
The little girl did as she was told.
and her face lighted up with the hap
piest, most surprised smile. Any one
in the room would have seen only n
little girl knocking spoon with Il
Misunderstanding noise. but in her ears
sounded long, glorious peals Of silver
bells. each note different and more
beautiful. she thought.
do you hear It, WIFI" she cried.
"Do you hear 1t too? Oh, isn't 1t love-
lyw
Her brother smiled. "No. i can't
hear what you do" he said. you see.
that's what they call an experiment In
sound. The sound waves run up from
the bowl Of the spoon all along the
string into your ears"
For long while Bessie rang the
bells Of Cologne, then Will showed
her how n drop Of mercury could be
separated into a hundred parts and
yet join together again in n round
shining drop that ran round and round
the saucer, lust like quick little
silver bug" Bessie said.
81 like experiments, WILL" said Bes'
sic. Don't you know any more"
"Not any l could do now" said her
brother. "But some time, II you'll
soak a piece Of shoe thread all nigh!
in very, very salt water and then dry
it out, I'll tie ring to one end OF 1t,
and the other end I'll fasten round the
electric fixture. Then I'll light 1t and
let it burn all the way down. and still
the ring won't fall"
"why won't 1t, WHIP" demanded his
sister.
"Well, Just because the salt crystals
are so placed that they are strons
enough to bear the weight even when
the thread is nothing but ashes. That's
all can tell you now. You'll have to
wait until you take course in chem
Istry and physics before you really
understand"
And when get to college I'm going
to-" said Bessie rs she ran back to ring
again her new found bells Of Cologne
