Tims it went on from the k's beginning to it end. 10 grew tired of her. and would hare , .ed to run away from her. But he lid not dare, for she was his master' daughter, and he was well, there waa the nib he did not know who he was. He woke up one dar and found him self born. The fkr was abore him, and there would have been earth beneath hia feet if he had not pointed them in tie wrong direction. He waa christened iu a random war Ola, and waa put on the parish, as they ear. Jous Oeatroo took him a his share of the pariah burden. When he was six rears old he could be made useful enough to ears hia food and shelter. Jeus Oeftmo then wanted to send him arrtT, but his little daughter Birgit was o fond of him that he decided to keep him. When Ola was twelve years old he could kick a cap from a nail high above his head. Birjit was so fond of Ola that everything he did seemed admir able. Once she said a bad word and Ola was whipped for it. So Ola was sent to the mountains ; he roamed with his alpine horn over the wide mountain plains, ate berriee, caught fish, set traps and was happy. Be hardly thought once of the little girl down in the valley. One day late in the summer she came up to the dairy with her mother. She was carried up on horseback in a bas ket. When she saw him she flung her self down upon the grass and screamed with delight But when her mother had reached the hut she ran up to him and hugged him. While the cuttle wero boiag milked he went to look after his things, bhe fol lowed him, proud in the thought that he tolerated her. "Look here," he cried, lifting up a brown hare, " isn't that a big fellow ?" What is it ?" she inked. "It is a hare." " Xo, it isn't a hare, A hare is white," " It is brown in Summer. It chaages iU skin." ' Has he two skins, one inside the other?" Instead of answering he took his knife and cut the hare's ski a. "No," he said, " he hasn't got moiVn one." The time came when he had to go to the parson to prey are for comlrmaUoa. It so hnypeaoj that she went the same year. But, though he had a coat new, it was a cast off one of Jeus Oestrne'a, which waa much too big for him. Hia boots, too, and his trousers had sees better days before they made hie ac quaintance. He walked aside from the ret; his ears burned when any one looked at him. But if any one dared to neck dm he used a pair of fists which in spired respect. He was a handsome lad aad his irowsy hair made him look ugly. Heavy thoughts came to him, sad a fierce, defiant spirit was kindled witfeis bit. It was at such a time that Birget ought him and spoke kindly to-feim. " You mustn't mind the girls," eke aid; "they laugh at everything. They don't mean anything by it It's just a way they have." " Somebody will come U harm if yon ever do it " he answered fiercely. -That is foolish talk," aha gently re. monst rated. "I know you too well, Ola. Tea wouldn't harm me." "Ah, you don't understand me," he said. It's no use talking." " Oh, yes, I do understand you, Ola," she replied, with a smile, " and I wish you would let ma say one thing to vou before I go." "Say it." "I wish I wish," she stammered, while a quick blush sprang to her cheeks. -Xo, I thimk I wont say it, after all," she fiaished, and turned to go. "Yes, say it," he entreated, seizing her hand. "Well, I I wish you could do as the hare, change your skis." She drew her hand away from bis and ran down the hillside, so that the stones and dry leaves lev about her. That night he picked a quarrel with Thorger Slettea, who was said to be at tentive to Birgit, and he thrashed him. All the following Winter he kept watch of her from afar, and picked quarrels with everybody whom she seemed to favor. - - "Change my skin," he pondered, "Change my skin. Lie the hare. How, oh, how can I do it V This thought followed hia dsy and night One day, in the Spring, an em migrant ship bound fer America ap peared at the mouth of the river. Ola packed together his few traps and went up to Oestruo's to say good-by. He met Birgit in the birch grove behind the bars. It was the time when the buds were bursting and the swallows had just returned. "Well. Ola, where are you going?" he asked, as she saw bira coining with bundle and staff in hand. " "To America." "America!" She cried. "America!" The answer seemed to frighten her. Sua turned pale and caught hold of a birch tree for support. He watched her uarrjuly. " Wist sre yen going to do in Amer ; O'u ? 'she aked softly. "Clrx?e my skin." he replied with a ri ;r that startled her. " And if I come i s.-k wr'uia uve yfirs with a change! tliu will y.'ti wronu.-e to wait for me ?" -I ir&ise." she whispered, weeping quietly ujK'i hi, shoulder. i v e Fivs ye.rs from that day a young vrii ;c?n hastening up the hilMd : Oe--'.ru x He had a big slouch hat u: his heid and he was well dressed. .

"If you want the girl you shall right for her." ".Sot with you, old man." retorted OL; but with Thorger 1 11 fight. Let him eouis forward." The bridal gneeta made a ring on the green and tho bridegroom came slowly forward. "Hard luck," he said, "to have to fiht for your bride on your wedding day." Fight? Birgit, who in her happiness had been blind and deaf, woke up with a start She unwound her arms from Ola's neck and stepped up between the two men. "Oh. do not figfct, do not fight!" she entreated, holding out her hands first to one claimant and then to the other. " You know, father, for whom I have waited for thee fire years. You know whom I have loved since I was a child. But you used foroe against me and threats. Now he has come bach. I am no lorer afraid of you."

I am glad enough to be rid of such a son-in-law. Come, folks; we'll have our wedding yet A girl belongs to him who can catch her." With a wrathful snort he stalked in through the o?en church door, sad the wedding guexs slowly followed. Boe tou Glole. A KM With Sam Good Patau. Some years sgo in an sgricultural dis trict there lived a farmer who wanted to sell one of his cows. There was not at that time a weekly paper in which ho could advertise, so he resolved to lot I jw the local custom and ask the vicar of the parish when giving out his notioee at church to advertise the cow. "Yes, farmer," said the vicar, "I would be willing to oblige you, but yo don't attend my church," . Presently, however, they struck a bargain that the vicar should advertise tus cow, and the man in return prom-i-vi to go to church. Unfortunately tii man was deaf, and on the Sunday following, when the vicar gave out the banns of marriage between Joseph So-aad-so, bachelor, and Sarah So-and-so, .puit; tor, the farmer took it for granted that the vicar was giving out particu lar of his cow, au 1 shouted out: " You might as well say while you are about ii taut she is a most gentle creature, en tirely free from vice, and is strongly croused with the Alderney breed." INVENTIONS FOR THE HOME. An effectual fly fan has three small di .ks at the end of each arm which re volve independently as the burgs arms go about. A novel household tool combines a hatchet and ice pick. A handy ice shave recently patented shaves and col 1 ;cts ice from a block without removing it from the refrigerator. A dustpan and broom combined, by means of which rubbish may be swept up aud removed without the sweeper a'.toriug her upright position, will prove a boon to those whose backs have ached over the old fashioned pans requiring to be held by thd handle.

Tho sifest placo is in the middle of the room, so it be not under a metal lustre suspended by a chain, sitting on one chair and laying the feet up in another.
