; home, it is getting late" allied the
! Dutch mother to her son, who sat on
the side of the canal fishing.
AS Hans ran along the path by the
water in the twilight he was thinking
sadly of what he could do to help his
mother. She had been sick in bed for
year, ever since her husbands death,
then the rent was due and the land
lord said he would wait no longer.
/ How terrible it would be to have his
i'll mother turned out of doors in the
| cold.
He found his geese and trudged
homeward behind them in the grow
ing darkness. AS he climbed the top
of the hill he was surprised to see a
little light shining behind a rock
Looking down, he saw a troll sitting
before a fire in which some fish we're

Hans was so interested that he
leaned over too far and fell plump
down on the troll.
= You rude boy" screamed the troll
Nov you have spoiled my dinner"
Il am very sorry" said Hans. But
If you will wait, l will run home and
get some l caught this afternoon.
So out he flew, and was soon back
again with long string of fish, which
he gave the troll.
'Will you tell me where the land of
the Dragons Curl is?" asked Hans.
my mother is i'll, and if l could get

swung it backwards and forwards, and
broad grin slowly lit up his lean,
brown face. He thrust the gun in his
holster and held out his hand.
Cookie, you're all right" he ex-
claimed. you've done the trick this
time. Say, you're a miracle!"

going to like you here"
Craig watched them ride off. The
bitterness had passed from his face.
Evening came and with it a repeti
ton of his labors. When everything
was ready to serve, he stepped from
behind the wagon and looked across
the rolling stretch of open country.
There was no one IN sight. Softly,
almost Steaithlly, he crept up to the
wagon, fetched out from its wooden
case a small violin, sat down with his
back to the wheel and began to play.
Suddenly the bow rested motionless
A look of fear came into his face. He
sprang up. The cowboys were all
stealing from the other side of the
wagon. They had arrived and dis
mounted without his hearing them.
He sprang to his feet and began to
stammer apologies. Long Jim's hand
was laid firmly upon his shoulders.
Say, cookie, you don't need to
look so scared. You amt done moth
ing wrong. Me and the boys, we like
your music. Sing us another tune
on that fiddlei"
The cook looked at him for a mo-
ment incredulously. Then he real
lied that the COWBOY was in earnest.

There was q cloud Of dust in the
distance. The man rose to his feet,
shaded his eyes with his hand and
shambled round to the back of the

with the grub, cookie"
Silently the man filed each dish
with the stew and laid it in its place
Then he retired to the background and
the cowboys commenced their meal
Long Jim winked at the others as he
picked up a biscuit.
Cookie, you're no good" he called
out. 1.-THE stew's rotten. Here, take

He flicked the biscuit, which caught
the cook on the side of the head. For
a moment the man started With his
hand upon his temple he flashed a
look of hatred towards his assailant.
Long Jim laughed carelessly.
"Say, cookie" the latter went on,

We'll have to tame you a bit"
The meal was soon over, and Jim
strolled across to where the others
were saddling up. He passed his left
arm through the reins of his horse

Craig.

This is the true note of youthful
morbid sentiment, which either has
its day and dies out, or is, unhappily,
continued into later life in the form
of an utter inability to look on the
brighter side of things.
The silver lining should always be
sought, if our lives are to hold that
brightness without which we never
can be successful or truly worth
while.

When mems shirts become torn

from wearing stiff collars, mend them
in the following manner. Take a

A recent newspaper case disclOses
an interesting psychological study. A
young woman, who was of a highly rO-
mantle turn of mind, had been surfeit-
ing on an overdose of sentimental lit
erature, the result of which was that
she developed a neurotic outlook and
finally fancied she was the victim of
an unhappy love affair. Without any
foundation for such an idea, she tried
to kill her sweetheart and then shot
herselfi Her lover had never given
her any cause for jealousy and his in
tentions toward her were entirely
honorable-but the girls mother tes-
titled as to her melancholy DISPOSE
ton, a melancholy which she attrib-
uted to the fact that her daughter
loved romances of gloomy order,
and, in fact, was nevsr so happy as
when she was reading some gruesome
tale with an unhappy ending.

for these miserable Stories" said the
mother sadly. eve gave her every

1t is true that at certain period of
youth there is a tendency to look on

Darkness came early and the little
company grew closer and closer to the
camp fire, where Craig had once more
taken up his violin. The professor
had wandered off somewhere into the

She galloped off while Laura was

Laura laid her hand upon his rein.

He galloped off into the darkness.
