/ Within he could hear her moaning, SO
he crept close TO the door and sad
"Do not worry, fair Princess; lust
keep still and | will IN a short time
let YOU know what to do.
ooh, .Icmp cried the Princess IN
delight, IF YOU can get me free there
is nothing in his power that my iather
viii not give YOU"
The heavy feet of the dwarf were
heard again. The lad hid in the closet
and the dwarf went into the room
where the Princess was held q prisoner.
"Will YOU be my wife, he thnn-
dered.
"No, never" she replied bravely.
"Ahl very well, = laughed the dwarf,
you can remain here and teed on
bread and water for q week. Then he
shut the door again and went to ms
room Tor the night. -,
Jem opened the closet door. There
on the floor was the spider.
Il have arranged all, J, IT said. Word
has been sent TO the hundred millions
of spiders. throughout all the land to
come at Once to this place. Those IRON
I the North can spin peculiar KIND OF
silk. and of this we viii make an I'M
mense hammock, a yard thick and
strorg as iron. Ii can be fastened be-
meath the window OF the Princess room
and II she win leap out, the fall will not
harm her. for she viii be caught in its
soft folds. You and she can then go to
the stables where the four horses with
the wings STAY. Harness them quickly
and sav simply the word Home With
IA 4 few hours YOU will be of her father s
castle"
While the dwarf lay sleeping Jem
went outside beneath the window of
the Princess and saw there a huge
hammock swinging from the trees. He
called softly to her TO leap out. She
stood a moment on the window, then
spranc down. The soft, firm folds of
silk held and she rolled TO the ground
unharmed. Quickly Jem ran to the
stable and harnessed the winged horses
To the goilded car. The Princess lcaped
in and Jem took his place beside her
Then he paused TO look for the spider
there il was on the side OF the stable
| door.
4 "Kind little creature" he said CRATE
fully, chow can we thank you for your
aid? Without your help We could have
COnc nothing.
eve are only repaying your own
Kindness replied the spider. But as
long as so many of our kin have an
swered the call think j viii finish the
good work Look
The moon had risen and the whole
place was as bright as day. Over the
cliff and all the ground, the trees, fields
and woods for miles were full OF spiders
of all sizes and colors, q vast many
legged army.
THE dwarf will sleep till morning,
the Spider continued, but he will
never see the sunrise again, for the
millions of insects YOU see here and
the many millions comm will seal
his fate. BY dawn there viii be woven
over this place a huge web 10 feet
thick end Of silk 1t will be impossible
for him to get through. We will i'm
prison this wicked creature In a huge
cobweb. Goodby."
By dawn the car alghted in the
courtyard of the Princess home And
the next night there was a wedding In
which Jem was the groom and the
Princess the happy bride.

Mamie Sitz, the thirteen year old
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. J. G. Sitz
had a serious and painful experience
last Saturday afternoon. When try
ing to hurry a slow fire in the kitchen
range she took the coal oil can and
poured oil from it onto the burning
flames which blazed into the can caus-
ing it to explode throwing oil and
flames all over her clothing. She ran
to her mother in an adjoining room
who threw a blanket around her but
failing to smother the fire quickly
enough ran to the kitchen, seized a
pail of water and extinguished the
flames with it. The child received
severe burns about the face, neck,
chest, arms and hands. At this writ
ing she is resting as well as can be
expected.
The following account of the death
and burial of Albert r. Sitz which
recently took place at Hays, will be
of interest to may in this vicinity as
he was quite well known here. He

The cost of the war is represented
by a pretty long line of figures, but
1T really is small matter when com
pared with the cost of disease.
There is a serene Providence which
rules the fate of nations, which makes
generation or race, makes no account
of disaster, conquers alike by what is
called defeat or by what is called vic
tory, thrusts aside enemy and OBJ
struction, brushes everything immoral
inhuman, and obtains the ultimate
triumph of the best race by the sacri-
flee of everything which resists the
moral laws of the world. It makes
its own instruments, creates the man
for the time, trains him in poverty,
inspires his genius, and arms him for
his task.-Emerson in abraham
