Approached the Boundary Wall.

1t was one OF Asa Ashley's dreams to
some time pipe the water from that
spring into his house. Therefore it
was with incredulous wrath that, one
summer day, he spied two men digging
on his land while John Raymond stood
by, directing the work of running
pipe line from the spring into his own
house.
Only kept from some act of violence
by Raymond's superior strength, and
only convinced of his neighbours sole
wight to the waters of the spring and
right of way over the Ashley prop
erty by a sight of the deed, Asa's feel
ings changed from passive dislike to
open enmity.
The next day the wall was begun,
and Raymond thereafter was forced to
be constantly on the alert for acts of
petty malignity on the part of his
neighbor. Taking no chances, he WIS.,
tied the spring daily.
The children caught the spirit In
the air. Annie Raymond's little red
| tongue always stuck out its full length
when Harry Ashley appeared, and the
scion of the Ashley family would yell
| derisively. Hello, freckle-faced car
rottop!" That secretly Harry greatly
admired her mop of red curls Annie
| did not know.
At seventeen, just after the death
of his mother the boy quarreed with
his father and ran away from home.
1 Some time later John Raymond learn
ed from the gossip of the countryside
that Harry had shipped in the mer-
| chant marine.
The years passed, bringing their
eternal changes, but Harry Ashley did
| not return home. Inseparable from his
uaemory of the old place, however. was
a mental picture of an authenticated
girl, with very red tongue perpetu-
lily thrust out at him.

Nothing Doing There.

Noiselessly, but with all his might,
the burglar tugged away at the dress
ing table drawer.
In vain. 1t refused to open. He
tugged again.
"Give it another jerk" said voice
behind him.
The burglar turned. The owner of
the house was sitting up in bed and
looking at him with an expression of
the deepest interest on his face.
Jerk it again. There's a lot of
valuable property in that drawer, but
we haven't been able to open it since
the damp weather began. If you can
pull it out I'll give you handsome
royalty on everything that's"

 Six of them. Mercury. Mars, Saturn. Venus, Jupiter aud Neptune will be in COD unclion: grouped together ir the , mi%hsiest "ieague of planets'' eve,

 Directly opposite coming into posi- tion with this gigantic league, will be the huge planet Uranus. The magnetic currents between Uranus and the six planets will pierce the sun like a mighty spear.

The high cost Of leather has created

According to makers of such goods. they
are worn by skaters in place of the
usual skating boots. which are very
costly this season. The demand from
this source is said to be quite good.

but they are not Mt all in liberal supply,
The color demand is very largely for

man, one of the most important prob

guarding against too liberal allowances
to the merchants who are using partial
