Y-~ IS name was Samuel. but every ReA body called him Sandy. It was
 & owing to his red hair that he went by the nickname. He was far from handsome, but being brave, strong and honest, he had as many admirers as he had acquaintances. Every one who knew him either liked or loved him; which goes to show that looks don't count for much. !"
 Sandy's home was on the banks of a pretty river. As this little river was fed from a range of high hills, 1t had rough and rocky bed, and the water flowed fast owing to the tre- mendous fall it made from source to mouth. Near to Sandy's home there was a lovely waterfall, and often our young hero went there to watch the glow of the sunset in the spray of the fall. which tinted it like gold.
 One afternoon Sandy went to fish l just above the waterfall. He knew where the finnies were thickest-in deep. quiet pool in a curve of the stream and overhung by a great ledge of rock. Upon this ledge Sandy would ! sit for hours, dangling his hook. And, 1 he never dangled it in vain. Usu- ally he carried home string of fine i fish, and his mother always said: Hes my fisherman. He never fails me"
 As Sandy sat fishing, his mind far from the spot where he was, he was called to himself by a sudden com motion on the breast of the water a short distance up stream. A little skiff had dashed round the curve into sight. A boy and a girl were in the frail craft, and both seemed much agitated. It did not take Sandy long to understand the reason of their ag- itation. The boy had in some way lost one of his oars, and as he was in mid-stream, and Just above the falls where the current was very strong, he seemed in quite a serious dilemma. He was brayely trying to TOW with the one oar. changing it from side to side-paddle-f fashion. But the length and weight of the oar made this impracticable, and the boat was drifting, sidewise. as fast as 1t could towards the waterfall.
 Sandy took in the situation at look, threw aside his fishing rod and hurried to the bank opposite the little skiff at the moment. Cant you row her right towards the bank here?" he called out to the boy in the boat.
 No, I've sprained my right wrist, and can hardly use the oar," replied i the boy. "The current is carrying me against my will. It's terrible strong here-above the fall. How can l get out of the current?"
 "Oh please, Boy. call to some one to come and rescue us." It was the little girl who cried out in agony of fear. Sandy replied to her that the nearest farm house was half a mile distant, and that they had no time to waste calling for help. They must help themselves-with his assistance
 Paddle this way!" he cried to the boy. Turn her towards me-" But in vain did the boy in the boat wrestle against the current. The skiff was getting nearer and nearer to the fall.
 Sandy jerked off his coat and shoes.

somehow Sandy seemed endowed with superhuman strength at the time. He managed to place the shivering and weeping girl on the bank and went back for her companion. The boy had acted on Sandy's advice, and was clinging for dear life to tree trunk which had caught in the rocks over which the water rushed so mad1y. The boat had gone over, and was capsized and bouncing among the rocks over which it was tumbling to the restless pool below.
 Sandy managed to help the boy to the bank, but it required all his will power and strength to do so. He was exhausted after the fight he hao waged in the water, and once on the good old ground, the boy and girl beside him, he sat down and felt like fainting.
 But he didn't faint. He was too thoughtful to do that. He knew the little girl might catch her death of cold if he did not get her to some

house soon. So he rested only a few minutes, getting his breath and bit of strength, and then advised setting out towards the farm house up the river.
 We came from there." explained the boy, who was now sufficiently re- covered to talk. We're Annie and Jack Glover. and live in town. We came out to spend today and tomor- row with our uncle, Mir. Frank Glover, who owns the farm just above here. That's his skiff we came down in. hurt my wrist trying to turn the boat and accidentally dropped the oar. I'm sorry we lost Uncle's boat.''
 Don't worry about the boat, Brother" said the little girl. We are lucky to have saved our lives--or rather to have had this good boy save them. Hadn't it been for him, just look at the place we would now be in" And the little girl pointed to the upturned boat which was whirling in the pool below the falls.

And how happy 1t will make Papa to read it over-to realize that not only are he and rich in our children. but that they are rich in us and each other. How true 1t Is. that often those who are the richest are in ignorance of it, and envy those whose only wealth lies in their world ly possessions-things that fire, wateT and thieves can take from them. You are true little philosopher. my child. But tell me-. how did you happen to, think of all your riches, and to put them down at money value?"

Y FIERY few persons realize the E profit there is in rearing prize w rabbits for show purposes. s
 " While there Is good money in prize rabbits in this country, the busi- ness is still better in England. writer in an English weekly has this to say of the price brought by little ze-bunnies:
 "A six-weeks' old Dutch rabbit was sold the other day for fourteen pounds (about seventy dollars), . price by no means unheard of in show circles. The writer knows of an instance where a Belgian hare was priced so highly by its owner that he refused one hundred pounds (about five hundred dollars) for 1t.
 Tt will be news to most readers that show rabbits change hands al- most every day, in all parts of the United Kingdom, at prices ranging between five pounds and thirty pounds. And, further there is the in- .teresting fact that there are 500 ex- hibitions in the year where rabbits of immense value are on show. While the Southern counties have studs of prize rabbits, it is the Midlands and Northern counties that the greatest interest is to be found and profit ob- tained from this hobby of breeding rabbits for show purposes.
 There are eleven distinct breeds of fancy rabbits, namely. the English, the Dutch, the Himalayan, the Polish, the Belgian, the Angora, the Lop, the Black and Tan, the Silvers, the Elem ish giant and the Imperials. The first three breeds are notable for their curious markings upon a white body, the English being a large rabbit weighing about seven pounds. the markings on the body of which whether black. blue, grey, or tortoise shell-nust be evenly distributed by a chain of unbroken spots on each rib side, butterfly nose marking, eye circles and spots, and deeply colored ears. To look at the Himalayan is to get the idea that the little animal has been dipped in paint box: for, small

 Yes, Mamma, I am on my way downstairs this minute" It was a cheerful voice that answered Mrs. Young. The impatience and restless ness had gone out of it since its owner had gone upstairs. Mrs. Youngs face cleared. Whenever Sally was unhappy or "blue" 1t dis tressed her poor. loving mother very much. She always made every sacri- flee that was possible for her children. and owing to size and age, she stinted the little ones in the matter of clothes to give the more to her "big daughter"

 It was no easy thing to do-drag- ging the heavy form of the helpless child after him to the bank. But

course of his craft, he sent the boat swiftly towards the danger which menaced it. With a wild cry of warning from Sandy, who was be- ing whirled about by the boat, and a scream of terror from the little girl passenger in the boat, tho three chil- dren found themselves on the verge of death. Great rugged rocks were ready to tear and wound their flesh. the rushing water ready to swallow them up.
 Sandy knew that only the matter of a few seconds stood between them and the rush over the falls. He could easily save himself, for he was a good swimmer. But how could he save the boat and it's precious freight? But he thought quickly and acted in the same way. With a mighty effort he jerked the little girl into the water, at the same time cry ing out to the boy to leap overheard.

~ ALLY YOUNG was just twelve years old. She was the eldest ~ of five children, and her par V ents were in very moderate circumstances. When Sally saw other girls of her own age dressing in fine apparel, riding in automobiles and living in great houses, she felt un- happy because her own lot was so poor.
 T wish we had lots of money. and fine home," she said to her mother one day. T wear my frocks tilpI out grow them-never laying one aside because it Is worn out and old-fash- toned.

SANDY'S HEROISM:

and, though the weather was rather too cool for swimming-it being in November-he went down the steep bank and darted. head first into the stream. He swam to the .edge of the skiff and began trying to turn it to- wards the bank. But the task was more difficult than he had even feared. Help me with that oar!" he panted, directing the awe-struck boy in the boat, for they were now within a few feet of the fall, and the cur rent was very strong.
 But the young boatman did his best. and fought with the one oar, but fought the wrong way. In his excite ment, he did not realize what he was doing, and instead of rowing back wards and trying to stop the onward

 Velvet that has been spotted with rain should not be brushed dry. Shake the velvet and leave it. The water will evaporate and show no mark unless the velvet was dusty before getting rained on. In that case, wipe the velvet while still rain damped with a clean damp cloth. This will remove the dust. Then shake well and leave to dry.
 Lemon juice and salt spread over the stains made by ordinary ink, and the cloth then laid in the bright sun, will erase the stains within a few hours. Of course, this recipe is for cotton and linen, but not applicable to silk or woolens, as the lemon would remove their color.
