THE THREE LINKS.
(6y Richard Dulz.)
fC~-2s.aaIA

Dawn OF morning appeared on the
landscape. Birds chirped merrily
among swaying crystalized branches.
made 80 by the falling snow. A wood
chuck was laboriously gathering food
for the day.
AS John Bushman awakened from
q restless sleep he rubbed his tired
eyes and rose slowly. with pain In the
limbs. With an instant's thought he
became busy gathering dry branches
which the snow had not covered, TO
build FIRE. Thrusting his hand down
a torn pocket In his trousers for a
match, he was disappointed to find
Just a torn hole.
An idea came to him, and with
stumbling strides he descended to-
wards a farmers house at the bend
OF the lane. Returning we'll supplied
with food. he Immediately made hre
and ate a hearty meal.
Extinguishing the fire, John began
digging a hole with broken shower
that lay nearby to bury the waste. On
covering the hole, be saw, TO MS
amazement, lying on the ground al
most covered with dirt, a glitterins
medal. One. glance backward, with
quivering hands he picked IL up, con-
cealing Il In his coat pocket. and has
tened to the woods. which lay In the
distance. Arriving at the inlet. john
went Inward 70 select a suitable place
for examining his find. A spreading
oak was chosen, and slowly dragging
the medal out OF his pocket, he soon
held II IN the palm OF his hand. Turn
ing the valuable trinket over Few
times. he found II to be three links.
but ignoring the material II contain
ed. he was shaken with anger. and
with cursing words John cast II aside
and proceeded on his cold, wearisome
journey.
The reader may want 10 know how
the three links were buried In the
shed. About two years before John
discovery a Mexican family lived In
this rude shed. The father died, ono
on his dying bed granted these three
links to the elest son, villa. There
were letters engraved inside OF these
links, which would lead the owner TO
a vast fortune. The inheritance was
published In a newspaper, which led
TO jealousy among bandits. who roam
ed the forest in the Vicinity. one
day as villa was hunting for birds
eggs he overheard plot between the
bandits 10 secure the medal. Notify
ing his family of the threatened trag-
edy, he took up board In the shed,
burying the three links under the
floor. When night came the Marroi-
can family were posted at various
hooks about the house, waiting for
the arrival OF the bandits. Soon they
heard the sound Of horses hoofs draw
ing near. Not giving the bandits time
TO work out their plot, they charged
on them, killing one, hut the bandits
were too strong for them. They had
more ammunition and guns, so they
killed the whole Marroican family
Then they searched the shed thor
oughly, bat were disappointed TO fnd
nothing. This IL how the three links
were left buriued In the ground.

The soccer game between the Har-

to the Marcy because the Harris did
not show up full team. The Marcy
players were much disappointed not
to play, for they think the game great

Christmas.
BY ELIZABETH BENNETT,


Christmas coming brings us cheer;
Soon St Nicholc< will be here,
With toys and gifts OF Joy
For the happy girl and boy.
He is welcomed by old and young,
While his merry songs are sung;
Round the fireplace hung are
Stockings waiting for Santa's call;
Empty now but soon shall be
Overful with JOY and glee.
Soon St Nicholas Will be here
Christmas coming brings us cheer.

His right to do this was challenged
but, Of course, the chair upheld him.
The object Of this party rule was to
prevent would-be candidates from US

to further their own interests as
against other would-be candidates.
Mr.. Griffith knew this perfectly well,
for he was chairman Of the committee
that drafted this rule. But when the

Los Angeles, May 27.-Little ac-

ket yesterday, although the receipts
in butter were triple those of the pre-
vious day, causing a slump in price
of l per pound in that commodity.
Cherries were little firmer, the best
quality selling at 10c a pound. The
non-receipt of gooseberries and cur
rants yesterday created a scarcity in
that class of fruit.
The receipts of potatoes were dou-
BILE those of the day previous, and
there seems to be a general decline
in all classes of vegetables.
