The Adventures of Penny.

I am a brand new penny and 1 just came out of the mint. 1 am going to be sent to the bank.
 One day a man came into the bank to get some change and when he got the change he found, he was lacking two cents so the man picked me and one of my companions out.
 When the man got home his little girl wanted a penny so he put his hand in his pocket and pulled me out. The first thing the little girl did was to spend me for candy. I was very sorry because I do not like to he shut up in dark drawers.
 I was not there long before I was given to another man. I stayed in his pocket for two days and then was given to a lame man who with some of my companions and dollars gave me to the doctor for a pair e1 1 crutehes.

The Foolish Fly.

Once there was a foolish fly. He was called foolish because he had such foolish thoughts and he also thought he was keen and cunning and it would take a great many swats to kill him.
 One day he was walking along a nice table filled with meat, potatoes, sugar. and honey. The first place he Weht was to the honey. Oh! but that was so sweet when he got full he went home and boasted about how he could get honey without getting caught.
 One day on lady's table was a jug of mo1asses so the fly thought he would have some as it was very sweet. He ate all he wanted and started to get off of the jug but to his surprise he stuck fast to the jug Of molasses.
 As he was trying to get up he al- most broke his legs, and he stayed there motionless and soon died. And 1 that was the end of the foolish fly. 1 ELEANOR DANIELS. Age Il. ! New London.

Andres. as no other of the islands,

stretching all around Its coasts. We
were inside the breakwater OF the
reefs and the rolling swell Of ocean
gave way at once to millpond calm
ness. We were at the entrance OF
North blight, one of the three bights
which. dotted with numerous LOVELY
ing Gays. breaks up Andres island In
the middle and allows a passage
through a maze-like archipelago direct
to the northwest end Of Cuba. Here
on the northwest shore is small and
very lonely settlement--one of the two
or three settlements on the else-de-
serted island-Behring' point.
Here we dropped anchor and Char
lie, who had some business ashore,
proposed our landing with him; but
here again our passenger aroused his
suspicions-though Heaven knows
why-by preferring to remain aboard.

his most toplofty English accent you

so our passenger and I thereupon
withdrew for our conference.
1t was soon over and couldn't help
laughing aloud at the simplicity of 1t
all.
"Just as told you. Charlie" ex-
claimed: sits innocence ITSELF Turn
ing to the lad. said: Dear boy,
there is really no need to keep such a
small secret as that from the skipper
here. You'll really have to let me tell
him."
The boy nodded acquiescence.
"All the same, / gave my word" he
said.
Z When / told Charlie the innocent Sc
cret, he laughed as l had done. and
his usual good humor instantly re-
turned.
The stubbornly held secret had
merely amounted to this: Our lad was
acquainted with my conchologist. and
had paid him visit the very after
noon / did, had In fact seen me leav-
ing the house. Answering to the boys
romantic talk Of buried treasure and
so forth, the shell enthusiast had
thought no harm to tell him OF our
projected trip; and that was the whole
Of the mysterious matter.
Yet the day was not to end without
a little incident which, slight though
indeed II was, was momentarily to
arouse Charles suspicious OF our
charming young companion once more.
Presently, In the far southwest, tiny
points like row Of pins began very
family to range themselves along the
skyline. They were palm trees,
though you could not make them out
to be such, or anything In particular,
till long after. One darker point
seemed closer than the rest.
There's High Cayl" rang out the
rich young voice of our passenger,
whom we'd half forgotten In our tense
scanning of the horizon. Charlie and
| both turned to him together in sur
prise-and his face certainly be-
trayed the confusion of one who has
let something slip involuntarily.
'Ho no I young man." cried Charlie,
his face darkening again, what do
yop know about High Cay? i thought

That's because you've about as
much imagination as turnip In that

of my young Apollo.

ued Charlie, paying no attention to

"Maybe!" answered our youngster
pertly, with an odd little smile. He
had evidently recovered his nerve, and
seemed to take pleasure In piquing
Charles suspicious.

He had certainly been right about
Behring's point-Charlie was absurdly
certain that he had known 1t before,
and mad some reason for not landing
for more forlorn and poverty
stricken foothold of humanity could
hardly be conceived; poor little clus-
ter of negro cabins, indeed, scram-
bling up from the beach. and with no
streets but craggy pathways In and
out among the gray clinker-like coral.
But 1t was touching to find even
here that, though the whole worldly
goods OF the community would scarce
ly have fetched ten dollars. the souls
Of men were still held worth caring
for; for presently we came upon a
pretty little church, with schoolhouse
near by, while from the roof of an adj
jacent building we were hailed by a
pleasant-faced white man, busy with
some shingling.
1t was the good priest of the little
place, Father Serapion. disguised In
overalls and the honest CRIME Of his
labor; like a true Benedlctine, pray
ing with his strong and skillful hands.
Father Serapion and Charlie were
old friends, and Charlie took occasion
TO confide In him with regard to To-
bias. and, to his huge delight discov
cred that man answering very close
ly to his description had dropped In
there with large sponger two days
before. He had only stopped long
enough to buy rum at the little store
near the landing and had been Off
again through the blight, sailing west.
Father Serapion, who knew Charlie
Websters shooting ground, promised
to send swift messenger should any
thing further of interest to us come
to his knowledge within the next week
or so.
Then we sailed away from Behring's
point, due west through the North
blight. Morning found US sailing
through maze of low-lying desert is
lands of a bewildering sameness Of
shape and size, with practically moth
ing to distinguish one from another.
We had hoped to- reach our camp,
out on the other side of the island,
that evening, but that lodging the
shoals and sticking in the mud had
considerably delayed us. Besides.
though Charlie and the captain both
hated to admit Ii. we had lost our
way. So night began TO fall and, as
there is no sailing in such waters at
night, we once more cast anchor un-

forced to own up that the island, dis
covered TO the day, was not Little

er with sailing man than having to
ask his way. Besides, who was there
to ask In that solitude? Doubtless a
cormorant flying overhead knew 1t,
but no one thought to ask him.
However, we were in luck, for, after
