The old lady bent her sharp look.

II needed YOU"
GRANDMA sat perfectly still for
~ half day thinking of this.
When she came out of her trance
a kind of royalty came with her. She
went about touching things. mime"
Jill heard her Whispering.
Soon she was helping with the
work and digging in the Autumn
garden. Not a particle of trouble!
Jill could have cried with vexation.
The days held more thinking places
than ever. In desperation she added
to her family again. This time she
took in the towns bad boy, Red
Lomax.
He'll keep the house in an awful
mess, and he'll tear up all his new
clothes and track in mud and break
the dishes, and chase the cat with the

Red, established in the cozy attic
bedroom, tiptoed reverently over
JilTs rugs. He was pathetically well
, behaved and quiet Hidden away
under his mattress. Jill found dog
cared volumes of history. She
dropped a tear on the well worn
pages, anu put tllGHl DdCh gently.
Bad?
rs anybody really bad?" she puz-
zled.
BY the end of the week Red was
milking the COW, feeding the chick
ems, showing Jill how to drive nail
straight. patching that back screen.
He called the old lady ''Grammer."
And Grammer began at once darning
and mending his tattered wardrobe,
sewing on buttons. Jill found her
self with happy, grateful little
family on her hands, where she had
planned for tempests! Without real
izing it she grew interested in them.
And one night. with a laugh that
was half sob. at the queer turn of
fate, she gave them her dearest
treasure.
She got down the old atlas and the
Polly. They polished and scrubbed
her; they loaded her hull; and when
she was ship-shape they turned her
nose into the wind and sent the
white foam skyward. Jill was her
captain. Red preferred to stoke
swinging great shovels of coal into
her scarlet, laughing mouth. making
her cut sharply through the waters.
Grandma went aloft and hauled in
the rolling topgallant sail. Wonder
full journeys, SO different from the
old, spirited voyages and yet-happy!

A Queer Windmill.

NEAR the town of Eureka. Calf,
there is windmill on the top
of 15-foot redwood stump Origi-
naliy there was dense redwood for
est covering the whole region, and
the owner of the land saved this tall
stump when the largest trees were
logged off, in order to lift his wind
mill high enough to catch the wind
over the surrounding treetops. AL
though all the original forest now has
been cleared off, the convenience of
the idea has continued it's use. which,
now that the second growth has be-
come lofty, is again a necessity.

Locke. "a concentration OF .0025 mg.

The result of these experiments is
the discovery that to obtain the best
results with dogs, the concentra-
ton of the gas should be at least
six times as great as has been found
necessary in the treatment of human
subjects.
DIR. Locke has been planning to
determine the exact efficacy of the

HUNTSVILLE, Ala, Feb. s. Following the destruction of the Green Bar school house, near the border of Marshall and Madison counties, Albert Sullivan, young farmer os the commu- nifty, was arrested and taken to jail at Guntersville, according to informa. tion that reached here today. It is claimed that Sullivan and Principal Gray of the school had a quarrel be- cause of the discharge of pupil and Sullivan is said to have made the re. mark that the. school would. not be running long after that. Immediately after the fire bloodhounds from Merri. mac were put on the trail, which they followed to a house near by and Sulli- van was found there, arrested and de- ivered to the sheriff of Marshall county,
 Pupils Underweigh.
 A considerable number of school children who are not as heavy as they should be for their ages have been found in the schools of Madison county by the inspectors for the health de- pertinent, who have almost finished their tour of the country schools. In the case of each child under weight the parents are instructed in ;he best meth. ods of dieting.
 Explains Wheel Tax.
 John F. Smith, well known farmer of Maysville precinct, died Thursday of pneumonia, age 51 years. He leaves a widow and eight children.
 Reports that the Madison county wheel tax is being collected from own CTS of wagons and other vehicles that visit this county are being so persistent ly circulated in adjoining counties that it has prompted $. W. Fleming, chair man of the board of commissioners, to issue an official denial. The wheel tax is levied on vehicles in Madison county on local people and is not collected from non-residents unless they come here to make their home and engage in public hauling.
