shop. Now, it seems to me, this little niece is bound 10 wake him up. lie calls her sHanhah's CarIyn.'a
 Hannah Stagg was his only sister," said Mrs. Gormley softly. q remem- Der her.
 And she's just died, or something, and left this little girl" Chet contin- ued. Mir. Stagg's bound to think of something now besides business. And mebbe he'll need me more. And I'll get chance to show him I'm worth something to him. So, by and by, he'll put me forward in the business" said the boy, his homely face glowing. "Who knows? Mebbe it'll be Stagg X Gormley over the door one of these days. Stranger things have hap pened."
 Perhaps even Chetwoods assurance would have been quenched had he just then known the thoughts in the hard ware merchants mind. Mr. Stagg sat in his back office boring over the let ter written by his brother-ln-law's law yer friend, a part of which read:
 From the above recital of facts you will plainly see, being a man of business your self, that MT. Camerons financial affairs were in q much worse condition when he went away than he himself dreamed of.
 l immediately looked up the Stone bridge Building and Loan association. It is even more moribund than the papers state. The fifteen hundred dollars MT. Cameron put into 1t from time to time might just as well have been dropped into the sea.
 You know he had only his salary on the Morning Beacon. They were rather decent to him, when they saw his health breaking down, to offer him the chance of going to the Mediterranean as correspond ent. He was to furnish articles on "The Debris of q World War"-stories of the peaceful sections of Europe which have to care for the human wreeks from the bat uafieds
 It rather cramped MT. Cameron's im- mediate resources for your sister to go with him, and he drew ahead on his ex- pense and salary account. I know that Mrs. Cameron feared to allow him to go alone across the ocean. He was really in a bad way; but she proposed to come back immediately on the Dunraven if he improved on the voyage across.
 Their means really did not allow of their taking the child; the steamship com pany would not hear of a half-fare for her. She is nice little girl and my wife would have been glad to keep her longer but in the end she would have to go to you, as, l understand. there are no other relatives.
 Of course the flat is here, and the fur niture. If you do not care to come on to attend to the matter yourself, I will do the best can to dispose of either or both MT. Cameron had paid years rent in instrumentation unwise thing, thought-and the term has still ten months to run. He did it so that his wife on her return from abroad, might have no worry on her mind. Perhaps the flat might be sublet, furnished. to advantage You might state your pleasure regarding this
 You will see. by the copy of your broth er-in-law's will that l enclose. that you have been left in full and sole possession and guardianship of his property and af- fairs, including Carolyn May.
 And if somebody had shipped him a crocodile from the Nile Joseph Stagg would have felt little more at loss

ENGLISH ONE-MAN COLLIERY Unique Industry Is Matched by Rail. road That Is Operated in the
 United States.

One-man businesses are many in these days of depleted staffs, but Il working coal mine, controlled, super vised, and staffed entirely by single individual is something of novelty, says London Answers.
 This one-man colliery is found at Hether Heage, Ambergate. The own CT works the mine every day and all day to secure an output of 1000 tons of coal year. The mine is small, and the produce near the surface, while the coal is smut-used hitherto in the manufacture of backing, but thought of greater value In war time.
 The other side of the Atlantic can. however. match us in one-man indus tries. There. on the Idaho Southern system, is found road run solely by one man.
 The track was once a portion of an irrigation system. long since abandon ed and high-powered motor ear with flanged wheels has been built to run along the rails. It carries 16 passen- gers. and in the two light trailers go the freight and luggage. This quaint railroad has neither guard nor porter. yet it has q printed time table of it's own, and runs it's trains strictly oD time.

RIGHT THERE WITH PEDIGREE
With That Documentary Evidence, Who Could Doubt That Pigeon
 Was of Blue Blood?

Bushrod was establishing q pigeon coop of his own, emulating his neigh bor. Bill Hite. In arranging the finan- cial promotion of this venture he went to his mother.
 Mother" he said, T want q dollar to buy a pigeon"
 Mother thought a dollar a rather high price for pigeon, with com mon birds averaging about 50 cents.
 But, mother.n Bushrod said. ear nestly. you don't understand. This is il pedigree pigeon. With it's pedigree it's cheap at dollar"
 Bushrod finally wheedled his mother out of the dollar, and left to buy his blooded bird. He returned with the pigeon and q scrap of erumpled paper in his pocket.
 "Mother.n he said, this is the pedi- gree"
 On the erumpled scrap of paper was written:
 Grandfather, unknown. Graadmoth- CT, unknown. Father, unknown. Moth CT, Bill Hites pigeon"

as to what disposal to make of the creature than he felt now regarding his little niece.
 "Well-she'll be a nuisance an aw- ful nuisance" was his final comment, with a mountainous sigh.
 Thus far Aunty Rose Kennedy's at titude towards the little stranger had been the single pleasant disappoint- ment Mir. Stagg had experienced. Aunty Rose was an autocrat. Joseph Stagg had never been so comfortable in his life as since Mrs. Kennedy had taken up the management of his home. But he stood in great awe of her.
 He put the lawyers letter in the safe, For once he was unable to re- spond to a written communication promptly. Although he wore that band of crepe on his arm he could not actually realize the fact that his sister Hannah was dead.
 Any time these fifteen years he might have run down to New York to see her. First she had worked in the newspaper office as stenogra- pher. Then she had married John Lewis Cameron and they had gone im- mediately to housekeeping.

Would Have Huns Warned.

A negro in precinct of the Fifth ward added little humor to the stern feelings of those who were filling out their cards.
 My names Elisha Smith," he said to the registrar.
 Any middle name?' the officer asked.
 "Yes, N.," replied the negro.
 But he didn't know what the "N'' stood for, so he said:
 Make it Nick When I was little my mother used to call me Nick be- cause I was so mean and always had blood in my eye. You can send mes sage to those Hun devils that Nick is coming after their sealps. ."-Kansas City Star.
