Mr. Dunham had just finished his
morning chores at the barn and was
going in to breakfast when Briggs,
the man who had bought the neigh­
neis
boring Alden farm, appeared. He
was a genial person, with a well
padded waistcoat and an ene^ging
«mile. Mr. Dunham had met nim a
day or two before at the postoffice,
but had not been favorably im­
pressed.
"M orning!” said the newcomer
briskly.
"M orning!” said Mr. Dunham.
" I ’m going to be neighborly right
away,” declared Briggs, with an air
o f'sim p le frankness. " I want to
borrow your wood sled fo r the day.
I ’ve had no time to get settled yet,
and there’s so much to do I don’t
know which way to turn, hardly.
But I ’ve got to get some wood down,
and I want to ao it while the heal­
ing’s good.”
“ That’ s all right,” said Mr. Dun­
ham. “ Take it and welcome. It’s
out there under the shed.”
Briggs was back in half an hour
with a yoke o f scrawny steers and
went off with the sled. Mr. Dun­
ham heard him come into the yard
with it that evening after supper
and found it in its proper place in
the morning.
A day or two later the new neigh­
bor came again. This time he had
the oxen with him. He nodded
cheerfully as he passed the house
and, remarking casually, “ I s’pose
it’ s all right to take the sled
again?” hitched up. This time he
kept it two days.
A week later he came when Mr.
Dunham was away and, whistling
errily as he yoked his steers, drove
off without question. Dunham wait-
ed lo u r days and then had to go
after the sled himself.
On the next occasion when the
new neighbor called he found Mr.
Dunham milking. Leaning against
the stanchion, with his hands in his
pockets, he began:
“ Dunham, I like that sled o f
yours. It’s new, ain’t it? ”
Why, yes. It was new this sea­
son.”
“ Want to sell it ?”
“ N o, I don’t know as I do.”
“ What did it cost ye ?”
“ I paid Smith $25 for making it,
id I furnished part o f the stock.”
“ Well it’ s worth it, and you ought
to have some profit on it too. Now,
I tell ye what; I don’ t feel right
borrowing all the time, and I ’d like
to bay it. How would $35 look to
you ?” *
Dunham milked silently for a
moment. Then he said, “ Well, I
guess thirty-fire would be all right.”
“ Good enough!” cried Briggs
heartily. “ It’s worth that to me. I
ain’t got the ready cash just now,
but we can fix it up this way: I ’ll
take the sled over to my place, and
any time you want to use it you
come right over and get it, just the
same as if ’ twas yours. I ’ ll keep
track o f it and charge you a reason­
able amount each time you take it—
say mebbe a dollar— and when it
comes to $35, why, the sled’ll be
mine, and w e ll be square. That’ll
save you buying a new one, and I ’ll
feel better’ n ’s if I was borrowing
all the time. Is that all right ?
What say?” — Y outh’s Companion.

That Saved a Life.
For many years after it was taken
over by the Germans the province
o f Alsace had many difficulties.
Every possible precaution was taken
to guard against «ny demonstration
o f the French national spirit, and,
though the children were allowed
to learn the language o f their an­
cestors, they were not allowed to be
taught it by French instructors.
The following instances indicate
the extent to which the government
carried its practice o f watching the
people:
A little girl was seen plaving with
a doll which was dressed in red,
white and bine. The suspicions of
the official were aroused, fo r it cer­
tainly was dreadful to see the power
empire so boldly
threatened. The child was tracked
to its home, and there the officer
learned that the doll was s present.
He immediately proceeded to the
woman who had given it to the child
and obtained the address o f the
shop where the dangerous plaything
had been bought. It was a modest
little establishment, but the officer
found it at last and then discov­
ered that the doll had been made
and dressed in Leipzig. This was a
surprise, but the matter did not end
here, for the manufacturer in Leip­
zig was officially requested not to
send any more red, white and blue
dolls to Alsace.
<
The other story is that two Ger­
mans were walking one cold day on
the banks o f .a large pond 'when
one of them fell in. He could not
swim and screamed for aid. The
other, who was an officer, did not
feel inclined to take so cold a
plunge and calmly watched the
struggles o f the sinking man. All
at once the man in the water began
to sing a verse o f the “ Marseil­
laise,” and the officer jumped in
forthwith, fo r his strict orders were
to arrest any person whom he heard
singing that famous song. The un­
fortunate citizen was imprisoned for
eight months, but that was better
than drowning.— New York Press.
Wilkie Collins' Fat Villain.
Here is a story that was told by
Hall Caine concerning Wilkie Col­
lins: “ The most successful charac­
ter in ‘The Woman In White’ was
not a woman, but. a man— Fosco,
the fat villain. When the book was
produced everybody was talking
about the fat villain. While the
author was staying
his mother
y in g with
wi
a visitoi
visitor came. The lady said to
Collins:
“ ‘Y ou seem to have made a great
success with your villain in “ The
Woman In White.” I have read the
book. I have studied this villain,
but he is not half a villain. Yon
don’t know a real villain, and the
next time you want to do a villain
come to me. I am very close to one.
I have got 'tone constantly in my
ey>—in fact, it is my own husband!’
“ Wilkie Collins often told this
story, but withheld the name o f the
lady. It was the wife o f Sir Ed­
ward Bulwer Lytton.”
