A young mother went upstairs one
evening to be sure that her son was
safely sleeping. As she paused at
tho door of the nursery she saw her
husband standing by the side of the
crib, gazing earnestly at the child.
As she stood still for a moment,
touched by the sight, tears filled hor
eyes, and she thought, "How dearly
Frederick loves that boy!" Imagine
the shock to her feelings when he sud
denly turned toward her and said:
"Amelia! It is Incomprehensible to
me how they can get up such a crib
as this for three dollars and sixty
cents."
Next Thine
The shades of night were falling.
Swiftly and gracefully an aeroplane
descended, landing as lightly as a
feather on the smooth roadway of the
boulevard.
Forth stepped an elegantly attired
man, wearing a mask.
"Snatching a purse from a richly ap
pareled dame who was passing, he
stepped back Into the aeroplane and
was soaring aloft and disappearing In
the distance before It occurred to tho
astonished victim to let loose a scream.
