Lftllla lived in the name house where
her grandmother and her great-grand-moiJher
had llvi-d and died. Her own
parents died when she was very youns--Vfid
she had eonie to live there with her
vlreat-aunt Vettny. (Heat-mint Pk
v.a9 her grandfather s sister, and
waa very old woman. However, she
was very active and biU-ht. and good
eompany for I.etltla. That was for
tunate, berause there were no little
Kirls of Letltia's ape nenrer than a mile.
The one maid-servant whom Aunt Peg
gy kent was older than she. and hud
chronic rheumatism in the Hk'ht fuot
and the left shoulder-blade, which af
fected her temper.
Letltia's Great-aunt Pegey used to
Vlay grace hoo'is with her. uud dom
inoes and checkers, ami even dolls.
Sometimes St was hard for Let I tin to
realize that she was nut another little
girl. Her aunt PegR.v was very kind
to her und fond of her. and took care
uf her as well as her own mother could
have done. Letitla had all the i-are and
comforts and pleasant society that she
really needed, but she was not a very
contented little crlrl. She was natural
ly rather Idle, and her Aunt PeRsy. w ho
was a wise old woman and believed
thoroughly In the prove h about Satun
und Idle. hands, would keep her always
busy at soinethilif?.
If she was not playing, she had to
pew or study or dust, or read a stent in
u story-book. Letitla had very nice
story-books, but she was not particu
larly fond of reading. She liked best of
unythniR to sit quite IdKand plan what
she would do some other time, and
think what she would like to have if
he could have her wish and that her
Aunt Peggy would not allow.
Leiitin was not satisilod with her
dolls and little treasures. She wanted
new ones. She wanted tine clothes like
one little gill, and plenty of candy like
unother. When Letitla went to school

lier room newly furnished, and thought
the furniture In the whole house very
shabby. She disliked to rise so early
In the morning. She did not like to
take a walk every day. and besides
everything else to make her discon
tented, there was the little green door,
which slie must never open and pass
through.
This house where Let ilia lived was,
of course, u very old one. It had a
top roof, sasgy mid mossy, gray
shingles in H walls. Hint- bushes half
hiding the gi - it windows, and a well
sweep In the ;.v.rd. It was quite a
large house, and there were sheds nnd a
Kreat brtn attached to It.but they were
nil on the south side. A the back of
the house the fields stretched away for
acres, and there were no outbuildings.
The' little green door was at the very
back of the house, toward the fields, In
a room opening out of the kitchen. It
was called the cheese-room, because
Letltia's grandmother, who made
cheeses, used to keep them there. She
fancied she could smell cheese, though
none had been kept there for years,
and It was used now only for a lumber
toom. She always sniffed hard for
cheese, and then she eyed the little
green door with wonder and longing.
II was a small green door, scarcely
higher than her head. A grown person
could not have passed through without
stooping almost double, it was "very
narrow, too, and no one who was not
slender could have- squeezed through
It. In this door there was a little black
keyhole, wlth'-no key In It, but it was
always locked. Letitla knew that her
Aunt Peggy kept the ltey In some very
fafe place, but she would never show
4t tn 1,1,1 lllilnnb tl.a .l.r.t
"It Is not besffor you, my dear," she
always replied, when Letitla teased
lior; and when Letitla begged only to
Know why she could not go out of the
tloor, she made the same reply: "It is
not best for you, my dear."
Sometimes, when Aunt Peggy was
not by, Letitla Would tease the old
maid-servant about the little green
door, but she always seemed both cross
and stupid, and gave her no satisfac
tion. She even seemed to think there
was no little green door there: but that
Was nonsense, because Letltia knew
there was. Her curiosity grew greater
and greater; she took every chance she
vould get .to steal Into the cheese-room
and shake the door softly, but it was
always locked. She even tried to look
through the keyhole, but she could see
nothing. One thing puzzled her more
than anything, and that was that the
little green door was on the Inside of
the house only, and not on the outside.
'.When Letitla-went out into the field
behind the house., there was nothing
but the blank wall to be Been. There
was no sign of a door in It. But the

checse-ioum was certainly the last
room In the house, and the little green
door wus in the rear wall. It was very
strange. Whin Letitla nsKeil her
Llreat-aunt Peggy to explain that,
only got the same answer:
"It is not best for you to know,
She
my
dear."
Letitla studied the little green dour
more tiiau she studied her lesson-books
but the never got any nearer the solu
tion of the niyst ry, until one Sunday
morning in January. It wus a very cold
day. and she ha J begged hard to stay
home from church. Her Aunt Foggy
iinl her maid-servant, old as they were,
were going-, but Letitla shivered and
coughed a little and pleaded, and final
ly had her own way.
"But you must sit down quietly,"
charged Aunt Peggy, "and you must
leurn your texts, to repeat to me when
I mk t liinie. '
After Amu Peggy and the old ser
vant. In their great cloaks und bonnets
and fur tlunets, had gone out of the
yard and down the road, letitia sat
quiet for fifteen minutes or so. hunting
in the lilbk- fr.r four easy texts; then
suddenly she thought of the little green
door, and wondered, as she had done
so many tine s b -fore. If It could pos
sibly he opened. She laid down her
I'.lhle and stole out through the kitchen
to the cheese-room and tried the door.
It wus locked as usual. "Oh. dear!"
sighed Letitia, and was ready to cry.
It seemed to her that this little green
door was the very worst of all her
tilals; that she would lather open that
and see wha' was beyond than have
all the nice things she wanted and had
to do without.
Suddenly she thought of a little satin
wood liox with a picture on the lid
which Aunt Peggy kept in her top bu
reau drawer Letitia had often seen
this box. but had never been allowed to
open II.
"I wonder if the key cun be In that
box?" said she.
She did not wait a minute. She was
so naughty that she dated not wait, for
fear she should remember that she
ought to be good. She ran out of the
eheese-rooni. through the kitchen and.
the sitting-room, to her aunt's bed
room, and opened the bureau-drawer,
and then the satin-wood box.. It con
tained Some bits of old lace, un old
brooch, a yellow letter, some other
things which she did not examine, und,
sure enough, a little black key on a
green ribbon. Letitia had not a doubt
that It was the key of the little green
door. She trembled till over, she panted
for breath, she was so 1 tightened, but
she did not hesitate. She took tile key
and ran back to the cheese-room. She
did not stop to shut the satin-wood
box or tile bureau-drawer. She was so
eold. and her hands shook so that she
had some dilllculty in fifing the key
Into the lock of the little green door;
but at last she succeeded, and turned It
quite easily. Then, for a second, she
hesitated: she was almost afraid to
open the door; she put her hand on the
latch and drew it buck. It seemed to
Iter, too, that she heard strange, nlarm
Ing sounds on the other side. Finally,
with a great effort of her will, she un
latched the little green door nnd flung
It open and inn out.
Then she guve a scream of surprise
and terror, and stood still, staring. She
did not dare stir or breathe. She was
not In the open fields which had always
been behind the house. She was in the
midst of u gloomy forest of trees so tall
that she could Just see the wintry sky
through their lops. She was hemmed
in, too, by a wide, heaping undergrowth
of bushes and brambles, all stiff with
snow. There was something dreadful
nnd ghastly about the forest, which had
the breathless odor of a cellar. And
suddenly Letitla heard again those
strange sounds she hail heard before
coming out. and she knew that they
were the savage whoops of lndinns.just
as she hnd read about them in her history-book,
and she also saw dark forms
skulking ubotit behind the trees, as she
had read.
Then Letitia, wild with flight, turned
,.,. I. ,4. ,1.. V.....U.. I, ....a. ..1. thn
to run back Into the house through the
little green door, but there was no little
green door, and. more than that, there
was no house. Nothing was to be seen
but the forest and a bridle-path leading
through il.
Letitia gasped. She could not. believe
her eyes. She plunged out Into the
path and down it u little way, but there
was no house. The dreadful yells
sounded nearer. She looked wildly nt
the undergrowth beside the path, won
dering If she could hide under that,
when suddenly she heard a gun-shot
nnd the tramp of a horse's feet. She

sprang aside Just as a great horse, with
a woman and two little girls on his
back, came plunging down the bridle
path and past her. Then there was an
other gun-shut, and a man, with a wide
cape Hying back like black wings, came
rushing down the path. Letitla gave a
little cry and he heard her.
"Who are you?" he cried, breathless
ly. Then, without wal'.lng for an an
swer, he caught her up and bore her
along with him. "Don't speak!" he
panted In her ear. "The Indians are
upon us, but we're almost home!"
Then all at once a log house appeared
beside the puth and some one was hold
ing the door ajar, and a white face was
peering out. The door was flung open
wide as they came up. the man rushed
In, set Letitla down, shut the door with
a crash, and shot some heavy bolts at
the top and bottom.
Letitia was so dazed Ihul she scarcely
knew what happened for the next few
minutes. She saw there was a pale
faced woman and three girls, one about
her own age. two a little younger. She
saw, .to her agreat amazement, the
horse tied in the corner. She saw that
the door was of mighty thickness, and,
moreover, hasped with Iron and studd
ed with great Iron nails, so Unit some
rattling blows that rained upon it pre
sently hnd no effect. She saw three
guns set in loopholes In the wull, and
the man, woman and the girl of her
own uge firing them, with great reports
which made the house quake, while the
younger girls raced from one to the
other with powder and bullets, Still,

all so strange. She stood back In a
corner.' out uf the way. and waited.
trvmbllnK. and at lam the' Here yell
outside died away, and the tiring
stopped.

ADDITIONS TO OUR SHIPPING.
A statement sent out from Washington
shows that during the first three
months of 1S9B, the total number of ves
sels built and documented In the Unit
ed States was 124, aggregating 28.170
tons, us compared with 128 vessels of
29.3liti tons for the previous quarter.
Of the vessels built during the last
quarter 65 were sail and 59 steam. The
steel steamers built were nine of 12,349
tons, of which two of 7,004 tons were
built on the great hikes. Forty-eight
wooden sailing vessels of 9,089 tons were
built on the Atlantic and Gulf coasts,
and 2G wooden steam vessels of 3,312
tons were built on western rivers,

WOOL. Sales are the smallest for
many years, at the three chief roarketF
only 2.232,600 pounds, and a month ago
when they were about 3,300,000 pounds,
they were the smallest In any week for
five years. Boston sales are said to br
about the smallest in the whole histor
of that market. Except for fine woo!
prices are tending downward, and man
ufacturers are curtailing production
The clothing trade is stagnant, am'
while foreign prices are far above thf
domestic: there Is practically no de
mand for wool. In six weeks, sales at
the three markets have been 17.559,55C

IRON AND STEEL. Furnaces Ir

since the maximum was reached No

there has also been a large Increas'

were 718.244 tons April 1. The Increasi
of 5S.16S tons for the month indlcater
a consumption at least 30,132 tons week
ly smaller than the output, and In livr
months the aciaimulatlon has been 321
575 tons. But this, savs Dun, does not
tell the whole story, for the stocks of
the great steel making concerns art
not Included, and they have undoubted
ly been piling up Iron very largely Ir
anticipation of their combination to
regulate the Mices of steel billets and
products. Jt may be Inferred that thr
actual excess of pig production over
demand for consumption has been
cidedly greater than lil.OOO tons weekly
THE COAL TRADE. The market
for anthracite coal was quiet last week,
as reported by Dun. Prices for coal In
New York harbor were steady at the
circular, or $3.60a3.75 for stove, and
$3.50a3.li5 for grate and egg. From the
standpoint of the producing companies
the most unsatisfactory feature of the
market was the paucity ot new orders,
for coal, for buyers were not willing to
engage tonnage ahend of their immedi
ate requirements. This, however, re
sulted In less complication than ex
pected, because the companies largely
reduced their output during the Easter
holidays. Since resuming work on
Tuesday the mines have worked at the
rate of about 3,000,000 tons per month.
There was less talk of an advance In
prices on May 1, and none Is expected
to bo made unless the New York state
legislature adjourns before that date.
The companies are planning to send a
large tonnage to the western market os
soon as navigation opens, and to this
end they ure allowing coal to accumu
late on their lines Instead of ut tide
water shipping points V

SHIPPING COALfO GERMANY.
There was some dmousslon in the an
thracite coal -.vaiie last week cencern
Ing a report which came from Wilkes
Barre, to the effect that an operator
there had made an experimental ship
ment of anthracite to Germany. Since
the late Franklin B. Gowen sent E.
. Quintaii to Europe for the Reading,
this "foiV.au market for anthracite"
Hem tuirs up periodically. Not lonrr
ago, as Woted by the Engineering and
Mining Journal, a committee was ap
pointed by the Anthracite Coal Ope
ra tors' Association to . investigate the
nruetieolilllty ot exporting anthracite,
The committee studied the subject thor
oughly, 'even going to the trouble of
leeurind and analyzing samples of
Welsh Anthracite, a possible competi
tor, and reported adversely. Some years
ago we believe that Coxe Brothers sent
some Mnthrurite to London, and from
time ito time Inquiries are received from
abrotd. The principal operators, inui

Blood
whether due to the inheritance of
some scrofulous disorder, or caused
by a depleted condition of the
system, is the cause of much
agony. A terrible complexion, foul
eruptions, and loathesome ul-,
ccrs are but outward symptoms
the sufferer should remember that
all of the great organs of the
body are likewise diseased, and
the day cannot be long distant
when death must surely ensue.
Bovinine
when taken for this trouble, is a
means of salvation. It creates
new flesh tissue and pure red
blood corpuscles, and by giving
strength to the great vital cen
tres of the body, it enables them
to perform their functions nat
urally, and thus dispel the existing
poisons by the natural channels.
It is not a medicine, but a pow
erful food preparation and invigo
rant, and is endorsed by over
25,000 physicians.

TO our
Ck r mrw
Washburn-Crosby Co. wish to assure thefr many pat
rons thut they will this year hold to their usual custoaa
of milling STRICTLY OLD WHEAT until the new crop
is fully cured. New wheat is com' upon the market, and
owing to the excessively dry weather many millers are
of the opinion that it is already cured, and in proper
condition for milling. Washburn-Crosby Co. will tak
no risks, and will allow the new wheat fully threa
months to mature before grinding.
This careful attention to every, detail of milling has
placed Washburn-Crusby Co.'s flour far above otho
brands.
