"Well, what do you think of her?" asked the girl with the miscellaneous assortment of class pins of the girl with the drooping pompadour. "Is it really true?" "I don't know," replied the poinpa doured one, having a stick of gum and offering her friend one of the halves. You mean you don't know what you think or her?" I don't know whether It's so. I know there must be something, though. Elmer wouldn't go down there two or three times a week just to see Mr. Watson, and I suspected something the moment he Introduced me." "Did they look at each other aa If they were engaged?" N no, but she was so sweet to me. You can never tell anything about Elmer, anyway.

Don was very unhappy when I was out of sight His cage was hung at first ln a glass conservatory, where he had sunshlno, flowers and two can ary birds for company. But he did not care for them. He wanted some thing else. Hewas silent and mop ing. So the loving little bird was made happy by being placed In my room upstairs. It was wonderful how soon he learned to distinguish my step. Often his clear, sweet tune could be heard pouring from hla dainty throat. Or perhaps he was silent It was all the same. The instant my step sounded in the hall below or on the stairs, the whistle ceased, or the silence was broken. "Come he-ere, come he-ere, come he-ere!" was the eager cry. Of course I always did "come he-ere." tie fellow was touching. Down he Jumped to the door of his cage post- I i a rm. nHnnM 111. a m Vkalt UHBIU. JLiiCU, yiuuug WUk lino wwi, and fro as if wound up to run for hours. And such a sweet piping as there was, too! But he never played about the room when I was away. He was too sor rowful for that His favorite haunt, next to my head or shoulders, was my bureau. He loved to hop all over it; but he loved best of all to mount the big, fat pln-cushlon. It was such fine fun to pull out the pins and drop them on the bureau scarf. Sometimes he carried them to the edge of the bureau and dropped them on the floor. One day I bent the point of a large pin and twisted it well into the cush ion. It was rather naughty, to be sure, but I wished to see what Don wpuld do about it The other pins came out and were dropped as usual. Then came the "tug of war." The poor little bird pulled and pulled, and tugged and tugged. The big pin mov- ed but did not come out. He put his head on one side and eyed it severely. Ho was not one of the "give up" Bort. He had made up his mind to conquer that pin. He worked very hard for at least ten minutes. Then the plaintive "Come he-ere, come he-ere 1" rang out. I waited to see wnat he would do next. And what do you think? He thought a little, then . mounted the cushion again, and wmstled and danc ed to that obstinate pin. But it stay- Mi right where it was. Then he seized It once more, and tugged so hard that his tiny feet slipped and he sat right down. Next he got up ana uiarea at it, then hopped to tne eage or ine bureau and called again, "Como he-ere, come he-ere!" I could not tease him any longer nnii itfMit to 'the rescue. The moment that pin was loose, Don seized it with happy chuckle. Hopping to the back part of the bureau, be dropped the pin down between it and the wall. It was In disgrace, you know. One day the dear little fellow had been very busy Indeed. The cushion bad been freshly filled with pins. That gave him a great deal of work to do, of course. The pins had all to be carried to the edge of the bureau and dropped overboard. That task finish ed, he went into his house to get his dinner. I went to work to pick up the pins, telling Don that he was a naughty bird to make mo so much trouble. It seemed as if he understood every word. At once he stopped eating his seeds, come out and peeped at me over the edge of. the bureau. Then down he came, making steps of my head, shoulder and arm until bo reach ed the floor. And there the dear little "He Just told you that and made you believe It" "He couldn't fool me so easily." "Oh, I don't know. It's Just as you say. A man win ten xninga to any body rather than his own elster some' times, and his own lister is sometimes the last ono to find anything out." "He'd tell me aa soon as ho would anybody and a little sooner." "You Just think so. lie knows you would give him away." "He doesn't anything of the kind, He's got every confidence ln me, There's no reason why he shouldn' have." The girl with the class pins laughed Incredulously. "Well, he has." "You told me Just now that he never did confide In you." "Oh, well, I was Just talking. Say. Gertrude." "Well?" "Promise hope-you-may-dle and on your solemn honor you'll never tell anybody If I tell you something?" "U-huh." "No, say 'yes.' " "Yes." "On your solemn honor?" "On my solemn honor." "Well, then, they are engaged. Only they don't expect to announce It for a month yet Elmer told me. And she's real sweet and she's got some stunning frocks. But don't you ever breathe a word of this. I did my best to throw you off the scent" The girl with the class pins giggled. "I knew I'd get it out of you," she said. Chicago Dally News. bird hurried around with all his might, picking up the pins. He flew up to the cushion, laid them down and came back for more, until they were all gathered up. Tnen he sat on my chair, whistled his tune and finally went to sleep. St. Nicholas. FUEL OF THE FUTURE. Feat Fields Near Chicago May Bupplj City for Century. One-seventh of the area of Ireland consists of peat bog, at present un profitable, but soon to be worth as much as so many coal .mines, owing to Improved and cheapened methods of collecting, drying and preparing peat for fuel. Even now Sweden uses 2,000,000 tons of peat briquettes year ly, while within fifty miles of Chicago are unused fields of the .substance con taining .enough to supply that city for a century. Of a new method of prepa ration the writer says: "In this new process the peat Is ex cavated from the bog by machinery and conveyed directly to the plant without the long delay of alr-drylng. Here it is jacked into rotary cylin ders, which are revolved at great speed, the peat being beaten by an In terior heating device while the cylin ders rotate. The centrifugal force ex pels the moisture so that It la a very low percentage. Then, by means of electrodes connected by conductors with a dynamo, the centrlfugally dried peat is included ln an electric circuit; the resistance of the peat generates heat, and It Is carbonized. A mass of black globules represents the results and retains all the valuable properties of the raw material. It then passes to kneading machines, and after being well kneaded it Is either molded into briquettes or left to dry and harden, In which latter case It Is afterward broken, screened and graded. "As has been stated, the value of this process lies greatly in the fact that ln climates where the drying sea son is short it can be prepared despite the weather conditions. In Alaska a supply could hardly be prepared after our methods, and what a boon pre pared peat fuel would be In that cli mate! It Is a fact that the peat sup ply Increases proportionately with the distance from the equator, and, under the eternal law of compensation, there must be some means by which it can be utilized ln .those cold climates where it abounds. Again, in the elec trical process there is no loss, no es caping of valuable elements in the form of gases. One ton can be pro duced at the almost Incredible cost of "Prepared peat 1s an almost smoke less fuel. It burns to the last vestige, leaves a clean, white ash and no clink er." Popular Mechanics. Troubles of the Rich. The "automoblllst" who had been "scorching" on a country road was brought, says the Chicago News, bo fore a justice of the peace who had fined him before. "You have been out with that ma chine again, have you?" demanded the Justice. "Frightening horses some more, eh? Why don't you get a flying. machine if you want to beat time and' be ececntrlc?" "It would do no good," wearily re plied the prisoner. "You would arrest me for frightening the birds." Door Knooker in Vogua Again. Door knockers are to come Into vogue again.

Miss Fanny Burney, tho friend of Dr. Johnson and the author of "Eve lina," began n diary, at the ago of 15, The rt'uson which induced her to keep a journal was, ln her own words, that "when the hour arrives ln which time 1b more nimble than memory," she might have some accounts of her thoughts, manners, acquaintances and actions." Her father and friends seem to nave discouraged the idea, writes Mr. Austin Dobson ln his life of Miss Burney. I cannot," wrote the young girl, "express the pleasure I have ln writ ing down my thoughts, at the very mo ment, of peoplo when I first see them, and how I alter, or bow confirm my self ln It, and I am much deceived ln my foresight, if I shall not have very great delight ln reading this living proof of my manner of passing my time, my sentiments, my thoughts of people I know, and a thousand other thing ln future, there Is something to me very unsatisfactory in passing year after year, without even a memoran dum of what you did." The diary, begun ln 1708, was edited and given to the public ln 1840 by Miss Burnoy's niece, an amiable and learned lady who happily combined a knowledge of Hebrew with a genius 8 J V? w " luiiuciiuiiB wero iiguu n contains many interesting and amusing descrip tions of notable people whom the young girl met It tells of the books she read, Plutarch's "Lives," Pope's "Iliad;" sho reads "Iiasselas," and thinks the style and sentiments inim itable. Moreover, the "Diary" proves plain ly that Fanny's close attention to brald-stltch, cross-and-changc, pink ing, pointing, frilling, and all the other niceties of that needlework which her stepmother regarded as so important to young persons, did not leave her without leisure for literature. A Cheerful View. "But, my dear Mr. Meeklns, you can't go home while it's raining so," Insisted Mr. Wilson. Ho was known as a poor provider and his wlfo tie aboutthe worst cook ln tho community! "Really, now, you can't go home In this downpour. Stay, do. now, and have dinner with us." "Oh, no, thank you," protested the guest. "It doesn't look very invitinar outside, that's a fact, but I don't think I'll stay, I guess It Isn't as bad as all that." It is a question when time drags slowerat a church social or a family reunion. Sometimes a man's love for horses is but a hobby. I W. BOLTON & CO.
