AS'A WORKING TOOL for the student and the writer, as an authoritative reference book for schools, teachers, families, business and professional men, there is one book which ofTers superior advan tages in the solid value of its in formation, and the ease with which it is obtained. One's admiration for Webster's International Dictionary increases daily as it comes to be better known.

"One, two, three; one, two, three," counted the teacher, taking step daintily on the tips of her slippered toes. The class In advanced, dancing fol lowed her with more or lesa precision. At the head of the line Margaret Mor ton, secure In the proficiency acquired by three years of training In the in co mer school, flung back her pretty head and urn! led at the awkward young man In the oppoulte row. At the foot of the Une poor little , Mary Cobb, teacher In a district school, with ambitions toward a phys ical directorship In the state normal, struggled with the Intricacies of the new steps and blushed and blushed as she felt the eyes of the class upon her. "One, two, three; one, two, three," counted the teacher again. The music played a lilting measure, and the pu pils swung across Hie floor In the mazes of a folk tlnnce. Most of them did It well, but Mary and the awkward young man hopped up and down, this way and that, and came together at last out of step, out of time, out of everything breathless, discouraged, dlttbeveled. "It's dreadful Mary gasped. "You are doing It nicely," the pant ing young man encouraged her. "Oh, I'm not !" The words came with a sob. "I dance like like a hippo potamus." "Ton couldn't" Ills eyes rested with appreciation on the delicate flushed face, the loosened yellow hair. Tou're too too little and graceful." He stammered over the words, as If com pliments did not come easily. "I'm not graceful," she said. "Look at that lovely creature at the head of the line." Seeing their eyes upon her, Marga ret Morton nodded to them, smiling.

"It looks easy when you do It," Mary Ighed. "but I am so stupid." But Margaret held out her bands to the Awkward Young Man. "Let mo show yon," she offered. "Now," and they danced away together. For the next fifteen mlnutee Marga ret held the Awkward Young Man at her aide, and Mary, practicing forlorn- ly by herself In the corner, watched j them and envied the ease with which i Margaret talked and laughed and piroueiiea in a suiue ui uiaua. muu and of copper colored hair. When the music started, the Awk ward Young Man came back to Mary. "How are you getting along?" he asked, with a smile that lighted his face and made It very attractive. "I shall never learn," Mary said, "never," and her Hp quivered. "Ob, yee, yon will," he said. "I don't believe you are the kind to give up." "But Miss Morton doe It so beauti fully," Mary told him tremulously. "This la Miss Morton's third year of training In the physical course at the nmmer school," he reminded her. "She ought to do It beautifully." And then they struggled on aa the teacher counted. Interminably: "One, two, three; one, two, three." Erery day Mary and the Awkward Young Man had a few minutes to gether. But the minutes were few, for. Margaret Morton had taken upon herself the Instruction of the Awkward Young Man, and more than once Mary was left to do the steps in ber lonely corner. "Everybody seems to know how but me," she said despairingly, In the third week, to the Awkward Young Man. "I don't" he assured ber. "But Miss Morton takes such an In terest In you." " "I wish she wouldn't" he said moodily. A light leaped Into Mary's eyes. "I would rather be with you," he added, with a look that changed the world for little Mary. "One, two, three; one, two, three," counted tb teacher, and Mary flew around the room on feet that seemed winged. "How well you did that!" said the Awkward Young Man aa aba daneed up to him, ber cheeks red, eyes like stars, br little figure swaying to the rhythm. "I don't know how It happened," she laughed. "OhJet's do It together." . Margaret Morton watched them from the other end of the room,' and when, In the Intricate windings of tha folk aance, she passed the Awkward Young Man she whispered, "Don't you want to go with me to the lighthouse In the morning?" ' ' "I'm sorry," be fibbed, "but I have other plans." '' And when he passed Mary be asked: "Will you let me take you to the beach after the class tomorrow? We can carry our notebooks and study." "Oh, It will be lovely," she said, and all the happiness In ber heart seemed expressed in her tripping feet so that the teacher patted her on the shoulder as she came up at the end of the les son. "You are getting on. Miss Cobb," she said. The day at the beach, with the waves lapping the nnnds lazily and the gulls dipping and rlalng against a sky of sapphire, gave an opportunity for an Interchange of aspirations and Ideals.

A RUNAWAY FREIGHT CARS DITCHED ON SAXTA FE ROAD XEAK SAN BERNAR DINO CATCH FIRE. Los Angeles, Aug. 7.

The train, which was made up of fifty-two cars from the north and east, consigned to points along the coast division, was made up at Bars tow. Several miles above Hesperla the two engines cut loose to take water and In some manner the air brakes became powerless to hold the train, which started down the steep grade. The heavy train shot down grade, gaining momentum with each revolu tion of the wheels, and before the trainmen could set the hand brakes on, the first few cars of the heavy train were thundering down the mountains around sharp curves, threatening derailment every minute. The trainmen leaped before the crash. Nine of the cars broke away and, distancing the others, ran fifteen miles to Oro Grande, where they stopped. The middle Bectlon, consist ing of thirty cars, heavily laden with merchandise, remained on the track for a distance of eight miles, finally leaving the rails at Victor Narrows, forty miles from thla city. Finally plunging from the track, the thirty cars struck the telegraph poles, de molishing them like Bpllnters and de stroying all telegraphic communica tion. In the ditch the cars took fire, and the entire section was burned. The remaining section of the train, consisting of thirteen cars, ran seven miles down the grade before they were wrecked, bringing up In a heap alongside the roadbed. The accident occurred on the north slope of Cajon Pass, In the steepest section of the San Bernardino moun tains. Russian Newspapers Are Warned. St. Petersburg; 'Aug. 7.
