James Wanted II Known That There
Was at Least One Thing Useful
After Death.

Always at the beginning of every
term the primary grade and kinder
garten teachers have to explain fire
drills and the necessity for such to
their new wee pupils. The other day
an Indiana kindergarten teacher gave
instructions for the first fire drill OF
the year. Now, children" she admOn-
ished. "yOu mustn't stop for anything.
You must just march right out of the
building when the fire bell rings"

get them first?'
NO" the teacher was emphatic.
"Why. you couldn't use your hats or
coats If you got burned to death, could
you? Why. there isn't anything You
can use or need after you are dead"
But little james held up his hand.
"Yes there is, teacher" he insisted.

Had Right Idea Concerning Petu-
liant Miss Eighteen Years.

The average girl of eighteen does
think she is much the superior of her
mother. But it often takes the clerks
i'm the dry goods stores to tell just how
superior. In downtown store the
other day Miss Eighteen Years and her
mother went to the veil counter to ex-
change plain veil mother had bought
for her child. Because 1t did not suit
her. daughter was decidedly peeved.
She would not even look at wells, but
sat with her back toward the counter.
Mother coaxed and finally got her to
show some interest.
A little boy was watching the per-
Torrance with some interest. Finally
he turned to his mother. "MOm," he
asked, in an amused tone, don't she
make you think of exactly the way our
old settin' hen acted when you built
her new neSt?"
Mother laughed, but she could not
help wondering If n little "ducking" of
the order to which she Had treated the
hen would be of much benefit to the
spoiled er.-Indianapolis News.

CHAPTER VII.
My Third Peril.

"Mr. Purvis" took his pay In salts
and stayed with us until my first great
adventure cut him off. 1t came one
July day when 1 was in my sixteenth
year. He behaved badly, and /, as any
normal boy would have done who had
had my schooling In the candle light.
We had kept Grimshaw from our door
by paying interest and the sum of $50
on the principal. 1t had been hard
work to live comfortably and carry the
burden Of debt. Again Grimshaw had
begun to press us. My uncle wanted
to get his paper and learn, II possible,
when the senator was expected In
Canton.
So he gave me permission to ride
with Purvis to the post oflice--a dis
lance Of three miles--to get the mall.

she liked a free head when we took

rider who had been resting at Sewers

day. He was a traveller on his way
to Canton and had missed the right

shiny brass trimmings and a pistol in
a holster, all of which appealed to my
eye and interest. The FLY was little

We heard quick stir in the bushes

"What's that?' Purvis demanded in

stopped.
Then promptly voice-a voice
which l did not recognize-broke the
silence with these menacing words,
sharply spoken:

ing the view from Water Street of the

ed nothing on it but posters setting
