HOBBS SPARA6US KIDNEY It The Mountains of Italy She round An Experience. This ti a true siory; 11 was told to nw by Miss Anita, herself. M1m Anil a 1 on of Ihe brightest young girls I know. Her parents are vry fond of traveling. Every year they choose a country that both are desirous of teeing, and learn all they out about It The study Its language. It history, and Its literature. Then, tn the summer, when M1m AM- ta'a vacation begins, they take her with them to visit all the delightful scenes and places of which they have been reading. In this way she has been able to sea la much larger part of this world than have most other young people. TTntU last summer, however, Miss Anita had on grievance to mar the pleasure of her holidays she had n ver met with a single adventure. It was most annoying, this entire lack of any. thing marvelous or thrilling In her va rted existence, for If ia Anita has an Impulsive, daring nature, and aspires to things heroic. People she met In bar wanderings would recount to her the queer, the grotesque, and the some. times even fiorrlble things that they had seen, or done, or escaped, and Miss AnKa would clasp her hands and ex claim: "Oh. If I only had been there!" But she never was there. Events that were strange, ridiculous or exclt. tng seemed to hurry up and occur Just an hour before she arrived on the scene f action, or to purposely wait over until a minute or so after she had departed. tast summer, however, when she started with her parents on a walking tour through thai wonderful region known as the Scotland of Italy, her hopes began to revive. She confided to hw mother, at the outset, her belief that, in the heart of those vast moun tain ranges, there was every chance of meeting with a truly blood-curding ex perience. Her parents were perfectly content to atooept the commonplace In life. Indeed they would rather have araided a blood-curdHng" experience than other, wise, tt was by no means a disappoint ment to them to find that modern ho tels Lad replaced many of 'the old mountain Inns, and that modern con veniences were obtainable. When, upon one occasion, they found themselves obliged to pass the night hi a disreputable-looking and little-frequented Iras, they were anything but delighted at the prospect Miss Anita, however, was enchanted. Tt was a weird and lone! situation, and the house seemed to Have weathered the winds of more than a century. When the land- M. J. deist's new cottitgo l nil under roof.

Afterward Miss Anlla remem bered the exact position of the soap. It was towards the middle of the night when M.ss Anita, without any os tensible reason, awoke from her slum, her and became aware of a slight noise somewhere In her room. This was sim ply perfect: Jus as It always Is In story hooks, but strangely enough. Miss An ita failed to appreciate the fact. She only lay still, scarcely daring to breathe and strained every nerve to listen. It was a very slight noise, but It was too distinct to be Imaginary. It sounded ns though some one were groping In the vfcirk among the things on the wash, stand. The truth flashed on her mind- a robber was feeling about, trying to find her candle. ltoth It and the marches, however, wore on a chair by the bed. All the dcllrhtful ran of the adven. c- p- smr J- Kellog ture was lost upon Miss Anita. Her, '"""d to Portland on Saturday. courage seemed to have completely de. serted her. She clung to the hope that after all. she might preslWy he mis taken. Then there was a hard thud on the floor, and Miss Anita felt herself grVw coal. Now there could he no doubt! That wss her soap! The rob. her. while blindly fumbling. had knocked It from the stand! It had been very near the edge, sh recollected. There was a pause, the man was ev. dently waiting to assure himself that the noise had not disturbed any one. Miss Anita's heart was beating s loudly that she was sure the robber must hear It. and her trembling made the bed shuke quite audibly. She could feel that he was looking straight at her! Oh! If she only had searched the last closet! Then It suddenly came to her tha this was her first adventure. "Now my turn has come to show my presence of mind to be brave." sh thought. She remembered, gratefully, that th door between the two rooms was open and that her father was a light sleeper Sh -decided to call him ,vnder pretens of being 111. and thus give the robber chance to slip quietly away. She mad "several efforts before she could com mand her voice, and then It broke out tn almost a shriek: "Papa!" "Yea. my dear." he exclaimed. In. stnntly. "Papa. I feel quite 111: do you thin' I can get a, glass of water anywhere?" Her faxher had a pitcher of tce-wate In Ms room. He rose at once to bring It to her. With th sound of his vole Miss An ita's courage had somewhat returned. She determined, at least, that she would not permit him to face the danger fo her.

This, she considered, was the neates ruse In the world for getting safe out of the room, for It never for a moment oecured to her that the robber probably a Spaniard and, therefore, had not understood a word she had said.

And though "Ps-pa!" Miss Anita exclaimed, after this happened more than a year ago, opening about the tenth door, "there is ! fright has remained so vividly 1m. room enough In these closets for a whole band bf brigands to hide in. I cannot think of sleeping In either of the rooms until I have searched every cor ner of every closet." "My dear." eaM her father, "if there is anyone 1n the closets, the safest plan for you Is to keep well out of them." But Miss Anita did not agree. She set to work at once to explore each possl. ble ambush, even crawling Into all the dnrk, low places. The first room was vry large and there were at least a fewen closets 1n Its walls. By the time she had gone through them her ardor was almost exhausted. Her father no ticed that she glanced rather wearily at the six or seven In the next room, which was to be her own that night. "Suppose you don't bother with those closets, Anita," he suggested. I think th day of brigands Is about over; don't your' "But there are robbers still, papa,1 add Miss Anita, .

She was about to open the last door, when her parents entered to say good-night. They suggested that Miss Anita should leave the door between the two rooms open during the night, as she would be alone. Then they went out, and every, thing became dark and quiet In the next room. Somehow tMs made Miss Anita feel rather lonesome, and she suddenly changed her mind as to the necessity of looking m that last closet The day had been a fatiguing one and the was exceedingly tired. The furnishing of the old Inn was ex tremely crude. In Miss Anita's room a wooden table was made to serve as a wash stand. After washing, she looked In vain for something to hold her soap. pressed on her memory that she has not wished for a single "blood-curdling ex perlenee" since.
