One evening. early in 11s7, Molly VIM
gate sat noddinS before the cheerful
wood fire burning on the hearth in her
fathers house in Western Massachu-
sets. She was alone, for her father was
away on urgent business. and good old
Thomas Matthews and his wife, the
housekeeper. had some time before gone
to bed.
browsing thus she did not hear a
knock at the door, although it was by
no means a light one, and brought the
maiden to her get with bound.
AS she opened the door and peered out
a gruff voice said:
You will pardon us for disturbing
honest people at this time of the night.
but we are three men travelling in this
vicinity. and. darkness coming on. We
made bold to try whether or not You
could spare us a room till morning.
Molly saw that the men were spattered
from head to foot with mud. as IL they
had been riding hard.
For a moment Molly hesitated
II hardly know. The night is dark
Come In. We will see"
While Molly brought out another cam
die and lighted 1t. the strangers warmed
themselves at the fireplace. Refreshed
by these few minutes before the blazing
hickory. they followed Molly with rather
more cheerful faces
Up the broad stairway the strangers
followed their guide. AS they passed an
open door one of the men halted. and
said:
Why would not this be a good place
for us? We are not particular"
Sut that is only an old storeroon,
more than half full OF empty boxes and
rubbish" Molly FASTENED to say. You
would not be comfortable there
Just the place" went on one Of the
other travellers. NO one would ever
think
"'Sh"' came in a warning undertone
from him who had hitherto done most Of
the talking Then turning to Molly. he
said, hurriedly:
Indeed, We would just as soon be in
this room as anywhere. We do not want
to go into any room where our wet
clothes and muddy boots might soil your
floors"
Thus urged. Molly led the way into
the dingy storeroom. Great boxes and
casks hedged the way. and it was with
difficulty that they made their passage
into the place Molly set the candle on
one of the boxes and turned away.
Good night. miss came from one of
the party. I'VE are sorry to trouble you,
but Excuse me. did you Ever hear of
Daniel Shays?"
oh yes. sir!" said Molly. I'VE hear
much about him Of late. My father Is
even now away leading a company
against him and his shameless men. III

1t was but fair that she should know
whether her suspicious were we'll found

heart she crept up the stairs and along
the hallway in the dark until she could
listen at the opening of the storeroom.
No door had ever been swung at that
room. and she had no difficulty in hear
ing from within the low voices of the
strangers. Three Of Daniel Shays' men
had taken refuge from pursuit in her
fathers house.
Quickly Molly laid a plan for their
capture. Thomas and his wife We're too

in Australia and New Zealand are fond
of wearing a sharks tooth, mounted in

perhaps 81 each for the largest teeth. Al
together, the average value of the shark
is about so or SIS: and think. when We
remember the courage and GOODNESS the
hunter shows to kill the shark. We will
agree that he we'll deserves that price.

him to be in the near neishborhood, for
Daniel Shays and the men who were fol-

even then were being holly pursued by
the indignant law-abiding colonists. AS
she unused over this and the words Of

great folds of greasy blubber. They

They seemed to find the sharks as much

When the tide went out it left the
whales almost high and dry, and as
they lay tail to tail, they made a sort OF
triangular Enclosure: and behold. nearly
twenty greedy sharks found themselves

MINING AND THE COUNTRY
PRESS,

Real mining news from the many
scattered mining districts of the
southwest is exceedingly hard to OBJ
tain. The country newspapers are the
main source of information from the
mining districts, and the accounts they
publish of new discoveries and Of new
developments in old mines constitute
the main supply of mining news. In
teresting articles are copied and re-
copied and are thus given publicity
far beyond the circulation of the
paper in which the story originated.
The editor of the local paper is ac-
quainted with everybody in the region
for miles around and is in the best
possible position to Judge of the prob
able merits and accuracy of mining
news, and it is only fair to state
that there are country papers which
do endeavor to keep their stories
reasonably accurate. Also there seemsl
to be developing a recent general ten
dency toward a saner presentation of
mining news. Throughout the min
ing districts are hundreds of live lit
tie newspapers, devoted heart and
soul to the development of their par
ticular region These papers can ac-
complish a great deal, if they will
assume a little more responsibility
for the accuracy of the stories they
print; if they will send out regularly
the real mining news, taking the
trouble to get reasonably close to
the facts and refraining from print
ing the exaggeration. The real facts
of a successful mining district are
sufficiently interesting and attractive,
and the local paper can best develop
it's district by establishing a reputa
ton for conservatism.-Ba Barstow
