"Well, what do you think of her?"

assortment of class pins of the girl

it really true?"

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.

CLEVER LITTLE DON,
Llttle "llfla?h 4ore Dt
Than Are Many People.
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-

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

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

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

young girl met It tells of the books
she read, Plutarch's "Lives," Pope's
"Iliad;" sho reads "Iiasselas," and

Moreover, the "Diary" proves plain
ly that Fanny's close attention to
brald-stltch, cross-and-changc, pink

niceties of that needlework which her
stepmother regarded as so important
to young persons, did not leave her
without leisure for literature.

"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."
