Out in the Storm JOHXT1E GARRETSOX lived with his grandfather and parents and little sister, 10 years old, in a yel low frame cottage on an island. Johntie's grandfather had bought this island for a small sum of money many years ago, and he had cultivated the land and had cut down trees and had added more room to the original, tiny cabin he had first built when he and bis young wife went there to live, and now there was a roomy cottage and a substantial barn. In fact when Johntie's father had grown up and married, the island was in a very flourishing condition; when town folks would row the half mile across the river to come and visit them, and would ask them if tl.ey were not lonjring to torat and live in the so ciable town. They always received the same an swer: "So, we are not lonely here and we love our island dearly. We can raise our own vegetables fruits and poultry, and as for fish, all we have 10 do is to cast either our nets or lines in the river and we can catch in a short time all we can eat, besides having plenty to bring over to the town folks to sell. We are satisfied here, and we will never need to fear poverty as long as we remain here." Johntie had a rowboat of his own, which his father had made for him and given to him on his twelfth birthday saying, "Xow Johntie, that your arms have grown so strong, you can row this boat over to the town wharf every morning and attend school and row bade to the island in the afternoons, and I won't need to stop my work any more so that you can get an education." And Johntie learned to be "Come Out and Search and See and Find Flowers All Fragrant and Fair river bv that time were dashed higher and higher every moment. r hi"s ani '""" And little Ellen began to cry out in r Srin has once mort terror at the vivid lightning and loud Sprinkling ker flowers on every sidi, peals of thunder, and to add to John- Oh. such a bountiful store. teenth. birthday and 1 want to catch le troubles, the ra.n began falling in Spring is an artist and paints Ike scene, a lot of fish.

Thanking him fervently for this add ed merciful concession the countess hastened back to her friends, telling them )inw the Emperor had pledged his word of honor that they should not be molested nor hindered.

I'm go ing to start now, as I have about all I can well manage." And then his mother came to the kitchen door, telling him he must buy a good lunch over in the town and she hoped he would have good luck selling his fish. Johntie's little sister, Ellen, came running from the kitchen, crying: "Take me with you, brother; I'll help you call in loud tunes, 'fish! fresh fish! just 'from the river, for sale.'" And so like the good, kind brother he was, Johntie lifted her in his row boat and they started off in high, good humor. Johntie was lucky that day.

She was so sorry for herself when mother came in "All alone, dear," she said. "Have you had a good time today while I have been gne?" "No, indeed," said Mollie. "It was the worst day I ever saw. It rained all day and Mary would not let me play on the porch or go outdoors at all." "Well, we can play out now," her mother said. "Suppose you go up stairs and put on your bathing suit and your little bathing shoes and we will have the time of our lives." When Mollie came downstairs her mother was standing bareheaded in the hall with a raincoat on. She took Mollie by the hand and they ran as fast as they could in th pouring rain to the front gate and back again. Then they played "tag" under the trees, mother hiding and Mollie catching her, and Mollie hiding and mother doing the catching. It was the greatest fun and Mollie ran ui'til she was warm and covered' with perspiration, and her mother was breathing hard. Then they both ran to the house. "Now, dear," said mother, "rush into thr bathroom as fast as you can and Mary will have a tub of warm water ready for you and help you tike your bath. Then lie down until it is time to get ready for dinner, and 1 hope you will sleep a little bit." Mollie took her bath and lay down and thought what a beautiful world it is when it rains for she never felt so happy in her life. She drifted off into dreamland I little bit and then Mary came to help her dress, and they chat ted together, and Mollie put on one of her prettiest dresses. "Such a dull day for little daugh ter," father said when he came in, but Mollie declared that she had never had such lovely time as she had this aft ernoon, and she told fattier all about the game in the rain. "Mother is a big baby, too," father said, as he put an arm around each of them and led the way to the. dining room. KIXD HCBSES.

But he was far down the river by that time, several miles trom the island. At last, much to his relief, he felt the boat touching solid ground; but when he helped his sister out of the boat, keeping her warm and dry all the time with his oilskin coat, he discov ered they had landed on some high rocks, without food or shelter.

There was a loud calling: "Ho! Johntie, are you on the rocks?" "Ho! Johntie, arc you on the rocks " And how glad he and Ellen were to be rescued by their father and rowed home to the dear island and a loving mother and a royal, good supper. "I'll never forget that anxious hour," he told his mother the next day. "I It cheered the heart of me.

A crocus that was not there before. tie apcarcd, it was seen that she was carrying her husband upon her back. The emperor looked in amazement as every married woman came forth car rying her husband and children, and every unmarried one her nearest and dearest of kin. In spite of the anger the emperor felt, against trie men who had so stout ly resisted him, he was deeply touched at this instance of wifely or womanly devotion and ingenuity. "These are our dearest and most precious possessions," explained the countess, "that we are taking away with us." The emperor . was as good as his ' word. Life . and liberty were given to the Guelphs and it is recorded that the countess and her husband and the em peror became the best of friends. It is also recorded that the town of which the castle had been the defend er was ever after known as "Weiber treu," which means "The Abode of Womanly Fidelity."
