Good Cough Medicine for The season for coughs and colds is now at hand and too much care cannot be used to protect the children. A child is much more likely to contract diphtheria or scarlet fever when he has a cold. The quicker you cure his cold the less you risk. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is the sole reliance of many mothers, and few of those who have tried it are willing to use any other. Mrs. F. F. Starcher, of Bipley, W. V., says, "I have never used any other than Chamberlain's Cough Remedy for my children and it it has always given good satisfaction." This remedy contains no opium or other narcotic and may be given as confidently to a child as to an adult. For sale by all drug-takers. MAINE GHOST ON HORSEBACK. Peculiar Spook That Has Struck Terror to Farmer Folk. The horseback ride ghost is the very latest variety that has appeared in Bowdonham, and he is a particular spirit, making visitations only at certain times. The hunter's ghost, they call him, and the big man on the big white horse who comes galloping down the Lisbon road on the full o' the moon right up to the side door of Sunny's heart, and he is to the heart of the farmer folk as he raps smartly with his riding whip on the panels of the door. Whenever one appears in answer to the knock the ghost, so they tell the story, wheels round and disappears at a gallop, turning into the old woods road much used in revolutionary times by the soldiers of that storm period. Ghost of the old Cap'n, they call him, connecting this horseback riding spook with a certain officer of unrestricted whiskey who haunted the district of Maline. It is on the hunter's moon when the ghost rides abroad, and nervous people on the Lisbon road are much disturbed by this galloping horseman—Lewiston Journal. A FEW OF LIFE'S PARADOXES. All True, Though at First They Beem to Read Rather Odd. Peace we secure by armaments, liberty by laws and constitutions, simplicity and naturalness are the consummate result of artificial breeding and training; health, strength and wealth are increased only by lavish use, expense and wear. Our mistrust of mistrust engenders our commercial system of credit; our tolerance of revolutionary utterances is the only way of lessening their danger; our charity has to say no to beggars in order not to defeat its own desires; the epicurean has to observe sapidity; the way to certainty lies, through radical doubt; virtue signifies not innocence and the knowledge of sin and its overcoming. The ethical and religious life are full of contradictions held in solution. You hate your enemy—well, forgive him, and thereby heap coals of fire on his head; to realize yourself, renounce yourself; to save your soul, first lose it; in short, die to live. —Prof. William Hibbert Journal.

Why should an iron grate bar be come warmed, twisted and cracked after long use? The reason appears to have been discovered by Alexander E. Outerbridge, Jr., of Philadelphia, who tells that cast iron when heated and then becomes not only longer but thicker, and that this increase in size may continue with subsequent heatings and coolings until the volume of the bar is 40 per cent. larger than it was originally. Microscopic examination shows that the texture of the swelled bar has become coarser grained. This discovery, which was made about three years ago, is now put to practical use in various ways. For instance, a gas engine piston that could be small was caused to "grow" by this method until it again fitted its cylinder. Again, these tons of steam radiators that had been condensed as too short were successfully treated until they could be used as at first intended. NORMAL THEORY IS DISPROVED Quite Preposterous in the Light of Present-Day Extremism. Philosophers seldom tire of hooning the normal and deprecating the alrround abnormal tendency. They insist that the normal life is good for our bodies, and eke for our consciences. But this is absurd. We cannot enjoy ourselves and at the same time be normal. Every pleasure is something which is abnormal to us. Every man and woman at the present day who sets out with the object of achieving distinction, or popularity any description, must be abnormally good or abnormal, and before it can happen an impulse. The "normal" theory is a postponed one. Imagine a woman in normal clothes! At the present moment woman has attained the pinnacle of notoriety in the opposite direction, and on its top most point is set her hat. Imagine the successful athlete in a normal condition. Imagine the winner of a motor race as a normal pleasure seeker; and there are others—too many to mention.—Philadelphia Record. Paying the Price. "It is not some reproach upon the economy of Providence that such a one, who is a mean, dirty fellow, should have ammunition, wealth enough to buy his matronism." Not the least. He means himself a mean, dirty fellow that very end. He has paid his end, his conscience, his liberty for it; and will you envy him his bargain? Will you hang your head and blush in his presence because he outshines you in equipage and show? Lift up your brow with a noble confidence, and say to yourself: I have not these things, it is true; but it is because I have not sought, because I have not desired them; it is because I possess something better. I have chosen my lot, I am content and satisfied.—Anna Letitin Barbauld. A Restrained Grief Back in the ridges of Tennessee two mountaineers got into an argument. Words led to blows, and in the fight that followed one of the man was killed. A neighbor rode on ahead to the dead man's cabin to prepare his wife. He found her seated at a table eating apple dumplings. He broke the sad news to her as gently as he could. She listened quietly, with a dumplings poised in the air half way to her mouth. When the neighbor paused she stuffed the dumplings into her mouth and said: "You just wait 'till I finish this hery dumplin' an' then you all 'i hear hollerin'-"Harper's Monthly. The Truly to Be Pitied. Stevenson: Pitiful is the case of the blind, who cannot read the face; pittil the case of the deaf, who cannot follow the changes of the voice. And there are others, also, to be pitiled, for there are some of an inert and inolquent nature who have been denied all the symbols of communication, who have neither a lively play of facial expression, nor yet a gift of frank of speech; people truly made of clay, people tied for life into a bag which no one can undo. They are poorer than the gypsy, for their heart can speak no language under heaven. The "Jim Crow" Law in Heaven. Uncle Wash, an aged colored man who is given to seeing visions, was recently regaling a group of brethren and sisters in the church with a dream of heaven that he had the night before. As he was graphically describing his life, he laughed and the hosts of white-robed, fair-haired angels playing upon jewed harps, an old woman interrupted with the query: "See any niggahs dah?" "Bub." he secreted, indignantly, "come here to do business." Philadelphia Philadelphia Catching Rate Do rats drink water? Do they require water? The best way to catch these rodents is to put any animal substance, well perfumed with oil of rhodium, into a trap. This induces them to enter readily, and even draws them from a considerable distance, as they are extremely partial to this oil. An ounce of rhodium can kill cattle, cats, and rabbits. Cattle can kill a rhodium to a rat. Oil of rhodium is made from a species of bindweed, and is used in perfumery. Little Ones Used to Dignitaries of High Estate. A well-known family in Catholic cities, living in Spring Garden street, and blessed with three very small daughters, spent last winter in Rome, where the small daughters were sent to school. The family, being quite hospitably inclined, entertained quite lavishly some of the philatelists. Returning to Philadelphia, they received a hearty welcome, and among others some of their old priest friends called to bid them welcome home. The mother, always proud of her three small daughters, sent for them to be brought downstairs to see the father. After awhile they came, the three little golden-braided girls; but they only stood in the doorway of the spacious room and refused to come any further. The mother, much mortified at such boyhood, said to the oldest: "Come here, dear; don't you remember good Father — who used to come and see us from the cathedral?" There they stood, the three little blonde tots, and looking most disprovingly at good Father —, the oldest spoke: "We like cardinals," is what she said—Philadelphia Public Ledger. NO WONDER SHE DIDN'T KNOW. Woman of Experience Not Hasty in Expressing Opinion. Before he had been in the car three minutes most of the women passengers and some of the men were explaining to their neighbors what they would do with the little imp if he belonged to them. Spanking was the popular remedy, and if that boy had received then and there all the paddlings that his critics were aching to administer he certainly would have been well blistered. To the general baby of advice and fault-finding, however, there was one woman who contributed nothing. She was a small haired body, who remained unruffled in the midst of the small tempos raging. "If that child was mine," said the determined woman beside her, "I make him mind if I had to half kill him. Wouldn't you?" "I don't know," said the little wom an mildly, "what I'd do." "You don't!" said the determined woman. "Well, I know. But maybe you are not used to children? Maybe you never had any of your own?" "Oh, yes," said the little woman, "I know what I would do. Why I don't know what I would do." Concrete Not Modern Concrete is the ancient material for construction, but reinforced concrete is secrecy half a century old. It is said to have started in a happy idea that came to a Frenchman who wanted large flower pots for his plants which should not be thick and clumsy. He reinforced them with wire. Nowadays we see glass reinforced in the same way, especially about elevator shafts. Cofgner and others developed the reinforcement of concrete for buildings, at first, slowly until buildings a concrete villa was built on the north shore of Long Island sound, but it was many years before the idea "took" here, although in France, Belgium and Germany it was seized upon with avidity—Smith's Magazine. No More Gold Lace for Afghans. "The ameer has published an edifix, which applies to all parts of Afghanistan, prohibiting the import into the country of all kinds of gold lace, including embroidered kullas jungis and embroidered shoes. The ameer is evidently actuated by a desire to prevent his subjects from spending their hard earned money on showy clothing. It is the poorer classes in Afghanistan, this extravagance which his majesty has decided to check. The gold laced coat of the Afghan is decidedly handsome, and although the ameer has acted wisely in bringing into general use clothing less costly, his majesty's orders will doubt less be received by his subjects with rather mixed feelings. Proper Bestowal of Charity Dickie: There are not a few among the disciples of charity who require in their vocation, scarcely less excitement than the votaries of pleasure in theirs; and hence it is that diseased sympathy and compassion are every day expended on out-of-the way objects, when only too many demands upon the legitimate exercise of the same virtues in charity are in the sight and hearing of the most unobservant person alive. In short, charity must have its romance, as the novelist or the playwright must have his. Sleeplessness. A good remedy for sleepiness is to wet a towel and apply to the back of the neck, pressing it hard up against the base of the brain and fastening over this cloth to prevent too rapid evaporation. The effect will be prompt and pleasant, cooling the brain and inducing a sweet and peaceful slumber for the purpose. This remedy will prove useful to people suffering from overwork, excitement or anxiety. He Guessed It Howell- What became of Rowell who was here when I lived here? Rowell- He died of threat trouble Rowell- Yes, that's the way he died --- Well Defined by the Father of Sir Walter Scott. Among the treasures which adorned the "den" of Sir Walter Scott was a china saucer—the memorial according to the author of "Edinburgh Under Sir Walter Scott," of a striking incident in the domestic life of Scott's father and mother. One autumn Mr. Scott, Sr., had a client who came regularly every evening at a certain hour to the house, and remained there for the rest of the day after the family had gone to bed. The little mystery of the unknown visitor excited Mrs. Scott's curiosity, and her husband's vague statements increased it. One night, therefore, although she knew it was against her husband's desire, she entered the room with a salver in her hand, and offered the gentleman "a dish of tea," as it used to be called in eighteenth century parlance. Mr. Scott very closely refused it, but the stranger bowed and accepted a cup. Presently he took his leave. Then Mr. Scott seized the empty cup and throw it on the pavement. His wife was upset, but not when she heard the explanation. "I may admit into my house, on business, persons wholly unworthy to be treated as guests of my wife. Neither lip of me nor mime comes after Mr. Murray, or Broughton's." The client who had called was none other than the traitor, Secretary Murray, who bought his life and fortune by giving evidence against his gallant Jacobite associates—Dunce Advertiser. SOME SMALL ENGLISH PARISHES. Dozen inhabitants in One; in Another Only Two Houses. Probably few people know that this country contains a number of parishes so small that their population can be housed under one or two roofs. For instance, Upper Elden, near Stockbridge, consists of two houses, which with an eleventh century church and a tiny "God's Acre" in the middle of a farmyard adjoining one of the dwellings, comprise the whole parish. Not much larger is the population of Lullington, five miles from Eastbourne. Small as its church is—the interior dimensions are only 16 feet square—it is quite large enough for the inhabitants. Grove near Lighton Buzzard, there are only about a dozen inhabitants, the parish containing a modern farmhouse, two cottages and a tiny church. At Rhynd, in Flintshire, while there are only three adult inhabitants, the village contains five cottages and one ship. Until recently there were two licensed houses, one of which still remains—Tit-Bits. Store Carries Old Hotel Name. Away up in Harlem is a sign which reads: "The Old Astor House Store." In reply to an inquiry the proprietor said: "The business was established in the vicinity of the old Astor house when the latter was the big hotel of New York. Later on it moved up to Fourteenth street and carried the name of the old hotel with it. Some years after it moved up to Fort-second street and the name went with it. Then it jumped all the way to Harlem and, as the name had become one of the fixtures of the business, it was maintained. The business now is in the hands of the third generation of the family that established it. Just a bit of sentiment."—New York Press. Pleasant Situation. Clintonville, this county, had several thrills of nervous apprehension on Tuesday of last week. A driver in the employ of a torpedo firm started off with a load of 40 quarts of nitroglycerine, and when a short distance from the barn stopped, got off his wagon and started an argument with a bystander. The team became frightened and ran until the front wheel of the wagon struck an iron support of a porch at a street corner and the horses stripped themselves from the harness, leaving the wagon, with its load of condensed destruction, standing. -Oil City Derrick. Waterproof Coats of Grass Waterproof Coats of Grass. In the tropics of Mexico, where torrential rains fall a part of each year, raincoats are a very necessary part of man's apparel. Owing to the intense heat which prevails in the summer season, the ordinary rubber raincoat is made from native grasses, and is worn by the men of the middle and upper classes. The grasses are ween close together and it is impossible for the rain to beat through them, no matter how hard the storm may be. Some of these coats are made with a hood which protects the head as well as the body. Will Found in a Hat. Probate has been granted of the will of a peddler who left an estate valued at £11,937.

After a six-week sojourn in Challoner, Miss Gladys Holmerton of Newport, Narragansett, and in season Manhattan, found herself helplessly drift upon a tumultuous sea of trouble. An outwardly attractive but utterly impossible young man, according to her reckoning, was in love with her. To complicate matters further, she was fairly certain that she was in love with the young man. that's what education is anyhow. What I want to know now is lumber. While Mark Sedgewick was by no means taciturn, he never gave Susanna Brown any information about himself. Though he sounded him coverty at times, his ingenuousness was too much for her. Fancy the perturbed state of mind Miss Holmerton was in as she sat that September evening in expectation What took the imperious Miss Helmerton down to the purple-hued mountains of West Virginia, only the imperious Miss Helmerton could have told, and she did not take anyone into her confidence. But Miss Helmerton was merely tired, so the family physician prescribed mountain air. Through some agency, more or less mysterious, she arranged to lodge with Miss Jackson, the owner of the most prestigious cabin in Eben did not, as a rule, keep boarders, but as the power behind the mysterious agency was Miss Helmerton's father, who dominated to some extent the wooded mountains as far as one could see, the matter was fixed up even though Eben did not know the name of his prospective guest. In the flight from Manhattan to the Alleghanies, Miss Helmerton let her imperious slips from her shoulders as a mantle. She likewise abandoned her possessions and its contents, including her illustrious name, at the railroad station, where she took the Challenger stage. It was night when she arrived at the Jackson homestead, so after a very brief greeting to her host and his family, she went at once to her room. When she appeared in the morning all marks of Fifth avenue and Manhattan were gone. Frocks, frills, fashionable headgear and French boots had given way to a gingham dress, a white sun bonnet and a cape. She was caused Miss Helmerton's associates to shriek. The gingham dress and white bonnet worked miracles with the imperious Miss Helmerton; she looked as much of a country maiden as is possible for a bogus rustic. Moreover, she had changed her name, not by the usual method, to Susanna Brown. The advent of a strange young woman, of course, stirred up the usual furry of curiosity among the housewives and daughters of Challoner. There she also, too, begged for special interest throughout the younger masculinity of the community. Because the erstwhile Miss Helmerton had journeyed down to the mountains to rest was no reason for Susanna Brown to limit her pleasure. Before long she was drawn into the swish and swirl of Challoner society. She entered into the spirit of the life among the mountaineers with a rest that deserved to benefit her health. It did. So there was not a girl in the vicinity that had in her cheeks a more healthy color. The flush in her cheeks and the brightness of her eye made Susanna Brown a girl. She was in the imperious Miss Helmerton and about 4,000 more unsophisticated. Though Challoner was for a time agog to know whence she the charming Susanna, since it was soon passed about that she was a young school teacher from Ohio, curiosity was pacified. Susanna herself never offered any direct information. Except to one big blonde-headed giant, Susanna's conquest of the gallants of Challoner was soon complete. She had seen him pass the Jackson home a number of times on his way to the post office, and had noticed him on account of his huge frame and bright curly head, upon which, through a hat he wore, he had seded a hat to rest. She had heard he was a boss lumberman and wondered how long it would take for him to call. But a more perfect specimen of indifferent masculinity never existed. Where the other rustics had all hastened to swear fealty to Susanna, this boy giant appeared to be oblivious of her advent. But Miss Helmerton had a certain determination, and the indifference of the young lumberman aroused her fighting blood. She lent Susanna Brown all the wisdom of her several seasons since she was a "bud." There was, of course, but one end to all this, the inevitable end—the attractive young lumberman was finally appropriated, though it cost Susanna all her other admirers. It came to pass that he was her accepted escort at all the rural festivities, pleasurable to Miss Helmerton, because they were so generally unspeakable in their characteristics. Miss Helmerton, in the moments she spent with herself, soon admitted that the young lumberman was a very pleasing human being, and she mentally told herself that when she went home, if he turned out well, she would have her father do something for the young man. He was particularly amusing in his ability to be more exact, to Susanna Brown. He early acquaintance he had been somewhat condescending toward her. It was very slightly shown, and had she been the unsophisticated maiden she was ostensibly, she would probably not have noticed it. For his position, he appeared to have obtained considerable education by some means. She was very much impressed by the fact. Then she recollected that she had heard this was a very common occurrence among men of the time. "You are a very well read young man," she marked one evening. And if answered the young lumberman, innocently. There was a sparkle of amusement in his eyes as he studied the all but patronizing look of the bogus Susanna Brown. "Well, you see it was this way," he continued, as though apologizing for a fault. "I've read a good book, and I like it. I remember, I like my principal education. Guess that's what education is anyhow. What I want to know now is lumber." While Mark Sedgewick was by no means taciturn, he never gave Susanna Brown any information about himself. Though she sounded him coverly at times, his ingeniousness was too much for her. Fancy the perturbed state of mind Miss Helmerton was in as she saw the September holiday, expectation of the holiday inumbermann's visit. She must leave at once, she told herself, and there was no room for procrastination. She figured out with herself that she must tell this very nice young man in a way that would not hurt his feelings that she was forced to abandon Challoner and in going she would always reserve a place in her memory for the times they had spent together. From her knowledge she did she did not know that she was prepared to act with great fortune and reunification if he did. She felt so sorry for herself that there were tears in her eyes when she rose to meet Mark Sedgewick when he came up the walk whistling an air that was reminiscent of something, that she could not remember what. She selected a secluded corner of the veranda as the most fitting place to hold the obsequies of their affections. Mark was unusually entertaining and cheerful during the fore portion of the evening, so Holmerton did not have the time to begin the ceremony; it was just in sheer despair that opened the subject. "I am going away to-morrow," she began. "I thought you would be going soon," replied Mark, without any great show of emotion. "Does school begin Monday?" Miss Helmerton gasped. The prospect of her departure did not seem to be making many large riffs in the young lumberman's heart. She felt very much hurt. "I do not think I shall teach," answered Miss Helmerton. "That's good," said Mark, in a voice that told of satisfaction. "I have an old-fashioned notion that a girl's place is at home. I am glad you are going to be there." "I hardly think that I shall," said Miss Helmerton, very truthfully. "You're not going to make a try at the city," cried Mark. "Don't do it. The city is no place for a country girl. With all consideration for your intellect, for which I have the greatest respect, you must get that of your head." You must have got that of your head was having a hard time to keep her face straight. She was glad that the veranda was moderately dark. "I don't see how I can keep from going to the city," replied Miss Helmerton, in a subdued tone that seemed to tell of a world of trouble. To Mark her voice seemed to say that fate was at her back driving her relentlessly towards the wicked metropolis. Then, to Miss Helmerton's utter surprise and terror, the big fellow reached down and drew her from her chair to her feet. "Now, Susanna," he went on, taking her firmly by the shoulders, "I want to be honest and straightforward with you. To be honest, you that it does not seem worth while to begin to tell you how much. I hardly thought that I should ever come to the point of speaking so, because school teachers have never been very much in my line, and I may as well be honest in saying so." As Miss Helmerton's senses began to collect she made out that, as she feared, this was a proposal, no matter how indirect, and she had to meet it some way. She pictured this big lumberman and his heavy boots in the Helmerton Fifth avenue home and would have shuffled them down the dams that he would hold too firmly. She could make to make any reply, though she felt she should. Mark did not seem to think any was necessary. "Susanna!" she heard him say softly, more softly than she imagined such a big man could ever speak. Then Miss Helmerton, as she felt herself drawn closer, forgetting all about Fifth avenue mantons and remembering only such little snatches of poetry as she had read in times gone by about "love in a cottage," and "a man's a man for a that," threw her arms recklessly about Mark's massive shoulders and met. He curried lips with a genuine obedient kiss. "You see, you go to the city anyhow," she heard him saying, "I have been up in the wilds about long time. Old Helmerton said he thought it was a good thing to have a year or so of practical experience, and that a year would be plenty. "Helmerton" exclaimed Susanna, with as much surprise as it was possible to put in a voice. "Yes, the boss of all this ground around here," Mark went on. "He is a pretty good friend of mine. In fact, we are college clubmates. Helmerton about 25 years ahead. We are the boys of the college, but me on the ground is a summe of something better. We'll look him up on our honeymoon."

KNOX TO BE PREMIER ACCEPTS STATE PORTFOLIO IN MR. TAFT'S CABINET. Invites Senator to Augusta to Advise Him—Wickersham Not Yet Selected for Attorney General. Augusta, Ga.—William H. Taft, president-elect of the United States, Friday night announced the appointment of United States Senator Philander C. Aho, as secretary of state in his cabinet.

"Mr. Knox was a great attorney general; he was a prominent candidate for the presidency, and he is recognized in the senate and elsewhere as one of the great lawyers of that body." Judge Taft also feels that from a political viewpoint the selection of Mr. Knox is most happy. He explained that there was often a feeling that the state of Pennsylvania, with its as sured Republican majorities, was slighted in the matter of recognition in the high council of the party. That this will not be the case in the next administration, he announced by Mr. Taft that he should invite Senator Knox to come to Augusta that he might consult him freely with reference to filling other places in his cabinet. Regarding the report that George W. Wickersham of New York would be attorney general in his cabin, Mr. Taft said that he had not yet determined on anyone definitely for the attorney generalship.

Richh." said Dan to his dog, as he came to a warren. "But bide a minute," he added. His eye had been attracted by a little man each growing above the warren. Being a young tree, it had not lost its red, autumn leaves, and it was laden with berries. "Now, that would make a pretty Christ mas-tree for the little ones." he said. "Nol no!" said the Queen of the Elves, touching the table with her wand. "You must permit me to provide a feast for you this Christmas." He pulled it up by its roots from the earth, and put it under a neighbor poke core. The table at once became covered with candies, cookies, and grapes, and the Christmas pudding and grapes, and sweets, and boxes of crackers, and every good thing, in fact, that the heart of the world is filled with joy. taking a net out of his pocket, he fixed it round some of the rabbit-holes in the warren, and sait to the dog: "Now round 'em up, and round 'em up"¹¹¹. Rough knew his work well. He racialized it with the smallest of snow to the nearest field of winter cabbages, and there he silently routed out the rabbits, and sent them helter-skeller "Now," said the Queen of the Elves, while you are all enjoying ourselves we were all in the Mountain Ash. Strike up, my merry harpers! The tall men, with four little hats, sat down by the fire, and began to make a sweet, fairy music, and the Queen and the other elves took hold of hands, and danced round the red-lighted mountain ash. And "Drat the net!" said Dan, springing out from behind the oak. "I don't fit it firmly, and the rabbits knocked it over and escaped. Only one got entangled in the loose meshes. "One wild rabbit isn't much of a Christmas masse for man and wife and five little ones," said Dane ruefully, as he threw it beside the mountain ash, If there was one thing that little Peggy Derrick liked even more than Christmas pudding it was dancing; and there was, sides, a strange and delicious charm in the music of Elifin. "Ah, hal! I've caught you red-handed this time, Dani!" The pochier turned, and found a keeper watching him. her fashion. I had half a mind to slay you outright last night!" He returned home by the way he came, and picked up the rabbit and the mountain ash, and went to bed without saying anything to his wife. Dan then had a glorious inspiration. "It was well for you that you didn't hurt me, ma'am," he said very respectfully, yet firmly. "Look what I've done for you already. Some rabbit had burrowed under your tree, and I didn't sure I could surely have come in that hole. You oughtn't to have set that keeper on me, you know." It was to the merrymaking by candlelight that they all looked forward. The morning they spent in gathering holly, and the evening they spent in cactus cutting and Dan himself forget his troubles in a secret work of decoration. Shutting himself in the shed, he planted the mountain ash in a deep box filled with leaf mould, and he planted a pile of bits of gayly colored paper on the branches. When the rabbit pie was at last placed on the table in the full light of the solitary candle, he told his two eldest boys to bring in something which they "Yes; I'm sorry now for that," said the Lady of the Tree. "But hurry back at once to the spot from which you look me, and I will be there." And went Dan with a spade, and the Lady of the Tree and the Queen of the Elves began to talk together. When Dan returned to carriage, with some assistance, he took this shoulder, he heard the Lady say to the Elf Queen: In the meanime his wife, Doll, served him with some of the pie. But with the first piece of rabbit that he ate, the thought of his malfortune overcame him, and he burst into tears, and told his wife what had been told, and she took the skins in a very strange way. "Yes, I think you are right. The motorcars are a great nuisance. A quiet orchard lies in the forest would be the very place for us." "I know of a fine fruit-farm for sale, ma'am," said Dan. "And, from what I can see, there's plenty of money in this sack." "That, that," she cried wildly, pointing to the mountain ash, which the boys were standing on. "I don't know now I understand! Now I understand! Don't the first fairy tree you've hurt. What were you doing last winter when you put your arm? Oh, you may not be serious mad!"

What would become of his wife and the five little ones?
