lived near mountains all their short

mails about them; and-greatest joy OF
all-they have never been to school. They
are well educated, Of course, Herr Zen
has seen to that, but to a very large
extent and especially in their inclina-
ton to art, they have been LETT TO

They have not had single lesson in

father, who confessed naively to q news

while he can plan buildings, his three
sons can draw things they see, and can

low the promptings Of their own mind.

Baby Postum sat all hunched up on
branch of the black birch tree crying De-
cause he was lonesome and AFRAID. lie
was afraid just because he was lonesome,
and he was afraid, too, that SHADOW the
Weasel might find him, and Reddy FOX
had said that Shadow the Weasel would
gobble him up.
The tears ran down to the end OF Baby
Possum's sharp little nose and fell one
by one in little shiny drops down to the
ground. Suddenly Baby Postum remem-
bered something. lie stopped crying and
began to think. Every time he had start
cd to climb down the black birch tree
when the fine gentleman In red had been
sitting below Baby Postum had seen a
funny little fellow with long ears stick
his head out from behind a big pine tree
and shake his head until 1t seemed as II
he would shake it off.
Baby Postum didn't know who the fine
gentleman in red was, and he didn't know
who the funny little fellow with long
ears was. but somehow he felt that the
funny little fellow with long ears was a
friend So each time when the latter had
shaken his head Baby PoSsum had
climbed back to the safe snug little hol-
low in the black birch tree.
AS lie thought of all this Baby Postum
looked in the direction in which the fine
gentleman in red had gone He was no.
where to be seen. Then Baby Possum
looked over to the foot of the big pine
tree, but the funny little fellow with long
ears was not in sight.
..Ah wonder, said Baby Possum to
himself: "ah wonder If that funny fellow
who shook his head at me is still behind
that tree. He seemed TO want me to stay
up here, and-and perhaps Aid better. :
Just then he noticed that branch of
the tree in which he was sitting touched
"a branch of another tree, and that a
branch of this other tree touched a
branch of the big pine behind which the
funny little fellow with long ears had
been hiding. Baby Postum had an idea
He would climb into the next tree and
from that into the big pine tree, and
then perhaps he could surprise the funny
little fellow with long ears and find out
why he shook his head so much. BABY
Postum wiped away his tears and his
eyes began TO sparkle.
Very carefully Baby Postum crept out
along the branch leading over into the
next tree. He held on with his hands
and his feet and his tail. And sometimes
he held hi breath. In the same careful
way he climbed from the other tree into
the big pine. Then he drew a long breath
and looked down. Sure enough. there at
the foot of the tree. lying fiat on his
stomach, was the little fellow with long
ears Somehow Baby Postum didn't feel
lonesome any more.
AL this time the fine gentleman in red.

LONDON, July GA mothers alleged
attempt to Sell her seventeen-year-old
daughter to Mormon was described at
Liverpool police court. when middle
aged woman of respectable appearance,
named Emily Doughty. was charged with
attempting to procure for unlawful pur-
poses the girl in question for a man
named Samuel David Lee of Salt Lake
City, L. S. \. The woman was remand
ed after evidence had been given.
Mr.. Duder. who prosecuted. said that
the woman was charged with three Of
lenses. only one of which would be pro-
ceeded with.
The man Lee it was brought out, first
became acquainted with the family of
which the accused was the head some
seven years ago. just after her husband
had died. Alice, an elder daughter of
Mrs. Doughty. became acquainted with
Lee, and after few days left Liverpool
with him for London, route for Salt
Lake City. They were not married at
the time.
The next development occurred some
years later. In her letters to her mother
Alice mentioned a Mrs. Kelly. who lived
next door to Lee and herself in Salt Lake
City. Mrs Doughty wrote to Mrs. Kelly,
asking aIter ner daughter, and Mrs.
Kelly wrote back, inclosinC a part of a
paper which was called the Salt Lake
City Herald Republican. This paper
gave an account of the suicide of the girl.
Writes to "Dear Mamma"
Early in March of the present year Lee
was corresponding in affectionate terms
with Mrs. Doughty, calling her his dear
mamma" He was also addressing letters
to her daughter Mabel, in which he made
use of endearing expressions. In these
letters he held out hopes in reference to
that young girl of seventeen years OF
age. Lees age was apparently between
fifty-six and siXtyfour. Mrs. Doughty
became aware, In the course of this cor
respondence that the man had married
another young woman, aged twenty-four,
in Salt Lake City. \ newspaper cutting
reached her to that effect.
In spite of the fact declared Mr.
Duder. that her first daughter had gone
away unmarried with this man and had
committed suicide; in spite also of the
fact that in March of this year she had
heard that Lee had married another
woman, she had endeavored for none
tary consideration think Sl25-to send
her daughter Mabel to Salt Lake City, in
order that she might become, az far as
we know. the third wife of this man

der, that her suspicious became aroused

where the girl visited him with the per-
mission of her mother.
