THE BABES IN THE WOOD
r.Y TATIKJiCE BTAPLETOH.
Ho was a littlo paupor boy being re
turned to the State that must maintain
him. Ho sat very quiet in his scat,
thinking of his grandmother, who had
died in thnt littlo village that was send
ing him away. Ho thought of her grave
on the hillside burying ground, where
wild roses and raspberry bushes clung
about tho stones ; where the bees hummed
in the sunshine, the bird sang in tho
maples, and tho long gruss in tho soft
summer breeo blew across the graves
liko palls. He remembered a h )i ny
hunded fanner, who h id p isse.l liimjm
his ta l journey to the depot with one of
tho selectmen of the town, nnd tho
farmer had patted his head, saying
kindly: "Take this five cents, bub; keep
it and you'll never want money for you'll
alius have it" He pondered" over this
arithmetical problem until his brain was
tired. When ho drank from the rusty
tin cup ho thought of the rollicking
brown brook that run through tho vil
lage, nnd wondered if the children play
ing on its bunks would remember him."
No one tried to talk to him, for he was
such a small, quiet child he was not no
ticed. No one saw tho pathetic little
faco grow pale or the shadows come in
his dark, bright eyes. Ho dieimcdtho
second night of his journey, th it with
his grandfather, lie was walking on a
long bridge nnd a great steamship
breathing dense, black smoke tame
crashing down upon them. Ho awoke
with a ligwo cry nnd fouud himself lying
on the ground under tho stars. There
had been an ncduent to the train and
some kind meu had lifted the uncon
scious child out of a window. A liht
flushed close to his face.
"It's tho little chuji shipped to Wis
consin," suid a brukeman, holding his
light lower, ' he is dead I think nnd
better oil no doubt, poor little fellow."
Ar a long blank the child came
bojjrto lifo with those words ringing in
hilars, "Dead and belter off." There
were thick woods near, and close to him
wounded people lying on blankets.
Afar oil was a lurid light where one of
the wrecked cars was burning. Ho
wondered what had happened; in terror
he daggered to his feet, and with the
blind instinct of a sleep-walker, stum
bled iuto the forest. When the wounded
were curried away ho was forgotten. Ho
was all alone in tho world; there was no
ono to miss him.
In a cool, grussy hollow hidden by tall
green ferns he slept until lute the next
day. He wondered then if ho were
deiuLJie seemed deserted by every one,
andhc had no idea how he cumo iuto tho
woods. Ho saw his little basket near
him, noted his clothes were burned and
dusty. He listened and the ripplo of a
brook came near to him. lie weut to it
and bathed his head and the wound in
his forehead that began to smurt. There
was a little rustle in the alder bushes,
nnd there across the brook, looking at
him with beaming face, was a little,
golden-haired child. Her blue eyes were
red with tears, hoi pretty white gown
dirty and torn, her blue sash trailing on
the ground.
"Harry, my Harry," she cried, stretch
ing out her littlo arms, "come get baby,
baby never wun oflf no more."
He went across tho brook carrying his
basket. She was very hungry and ills
generous heart rejoiced that he had eaten
iiltlu u'l the joui ueyand hud clung tight
to his basket through his trials. " From
her confused tulk he learned she had
been lost in the woods tho day before
and slept all night at tho foot of a tree.
She saw he was not Hurry, but stroked
his face with her loving hand, saying:
"Ou hurted, poor other 1 lurry ? Mamma
make ou well." His senses coming to
him with this new charge, he took her
by tho hand and set out to lind some
body. Ho was not afraid in the woods, for ho
and his grandmother had slept many a
night under tho stars. Toward dark he
saw on aside path a pair of shining eyes,
round globes of firo. He was currying
tho child, and he kept bravely on, "say
ing tho prayer bis grandmother had
taught him. Tho luminous eyes disap
peared quickly, und ho knew it was only
a harmless little fox. When he could
go no further he laid the child down,
covering her w ith his jacket, and watched
until he fell asleep by her side.
So quaint and pretty a pair might have
Veen those two sweet babes left in the
depths of a forest by a cruel uncle, and
after weary wandering, finding a serene
sleep, and a leafy shroud brought by
"the minor poets of the air," the littlo
woodland birds.
In the afternoon his basket was empty,
but he gathered tho dead ripe raspberries
and the shining blackberries under their
sheltering vines. 'I hey passed some
cows that day, mild, solemn creatures,
who looked at them curiously but did
not stir, though ono little calf ran in tor
ror, making tho baby laugh merrily.
They enmo to a deserted log hut that
night where tho men in a deserted sugar
camp had lived, and here ho made tho
child a bed of fir boughs. They were
hungry nnd thirsty. Tho brooks wero
dry in tho depths of the forest, the
only water the spring away back
by the ferns. Tho grass was
dead and sere, tho flowers wilted and
withered. The nir was close and hot
and the boy, whose arms were weary
carry his little charge, stood in the open
door of tho hut looking nt the velvet
blackness of tho fky, where, like dia
monds, a few stars peeped out over the
treo tops. Suddenly along tho grass
grown roal by tho hut he heard tho
sound of gallopping hoofs. Then dash
ing by like a whirlwind, ran a heard of
teiri icd cattle. Ho could hear their
hoarse panting, seo their blnck forms.
He clasped his hands, was it wolves thnt
frightened them? Ho listened. Into
the quiet of tho night there sounded a
curious snapping darkling, then a roar
like tho breaking of a monstrous wave
on a rocky shore. Up. far above treo
tops, leaped a great red tongue of flame
aspiring to tho stars.
1 lie forest monarchs writhed and
bowed and Hung themselves under tho
hot breath, green leaves withered and
drooped under tho fire frost, skeleton
brunches waved up and down like tho
shrivelled arms of beseeching beldames.
tho pines shot needles of tire and the
trees blossomed into marvelous flowers
of name.
Tho child looked but nn instant, thenhe
ran in, lifted the crvintr bnbv on his back
and hurried down the old road. A pungent
smoke, the breath of the evergreens, the
life of mighty oaks, filled the air, blind
ing nnd stilling him. Ho tried to run
faster, but the child's weight drugged
him back. Fiery cinders Hew past him
heralds of tho suTcring and death so
near blown by tho hot wind that
funned his pallid check. All around the
flames crept in a narrowing circle. In
his awful need he never thought of de
serting the baby in his care. When tho
fiery blast came closer he took her in his
nrmsand staggered on. It was quite
light now, w.th an awful vividness.
Hark! Above the roar of tho firo
king, the crash of falling trees, the crack
ling of brunches nnd leaves, there was
another sound. The steady thud of
galloping hoofs. Another stampede 1
herd of cattle were ns frightful as tho
lire. I he Imy listened in piteous fear.
Out of the forest p ith that met the old
road near a b:g pine, now writhing its
majestic height under tho hot blast,
came a big whito horse and a rider with
bowed head bir icd in his cloak. Merci
fully he heard the cry for help and drew
up his mad steed beneath the rainof fire
tailing all about them.
"Take her," shouted the boy, "I kin
run alone nil right."

There was one breathless moment, a
quic'.t leap, a splash in the cool water, a
slip on the muddy bottom, a quick re
covery to the shining sand, nnd a steady
push ahead. The stream rippled overthe'r
scoiched clothing and blistered flesh.

Mako tho Kitchen Attractive.
Considering the fact that so many wo
men nro obliged to pass a great portion
of their timo in the kitchen, why not
make it an attractive apartment rather
than stow it away in the basement, or in
some dnrk corner of the ho'jse, ns is now
too frequently dono f Most houses dis
play pleasant sitting-rooms; but if we
judge of tho conveniences nnd general
pleasantness of the kitchen by the rooms
in front of the house, we utterly fail in
our conjectures. To mnko a little show

Instruction Tor IO I nir Carpets.
Carpets are often badly laid down,
either from ignorance or carelessness.
The carpet, neatly folded, should bo
brought in and laid down as it is folded,
the way tho widths are to run. It must
then bo unfolded by degrees, not dragged
open any way. When the carpet is
thoroughly opened out, let tne centre
w idth be laid perfectly straight from one
end to tho other, a tinned tack put at
each end to keep it in his place and nil
the other widths laid straight according
to the first. When one end of the
wid hs is straight and thoroughly
stretched, let it bo tacked down with
tinned tacks nt regular intervals, begin
ning at one end and working towards
tho other. When this first end has been
firmly fastened down, let ono side, at
right cngles to the end nailed already,
be tacked, taking care to pull it out
"tnut," as tho sailors say. When the
side nnd end at right angles have been
fastened down, the conesponding sido
and end nro easily managed, and the
thing is done. Xeto York World.
Peacock Feather Fan.
Take n small Chinese fan, round or
slightly oval in shnpc, cover it with
dark green paper muslin or any dark

about four inches long, me isured from
the top of the fibers, llave a bottle of
mucilage ready; begin by clipping the
fibers remaining on the quill, fiom
which has been cut tho tops, takes theso
fibers and glue them nil around the edge
of the fan, so they will extend about two
inches over the top of the fan. Take
the largest si.e of the feathers and glue
in the center of the top and have them
about one inch longer than top of fibers.
Keep on glueing one feather nfter an

Veal in Tempting Shapes.
Many very deli.ious dishes may be
made of veal. To be good, veal should
be about two mouths old, when the flesh
will be firm, with a pink tinge, nnd the
bones hard. Veal is divided into fore
and hind quarters; the fore quarter is
divided into toil, breast, shoulder nnd
neck, the bind quarter into leg and loin.
Chops are cut Irom the loin, and the leg
is used for cutlets and fillets. The loin,
shoulder and fillet nnd breast are used
for rousting. The knuckle and neck lire
used forsoup, stews, pies and croquettes.

originality, seeming to reflect the
characleiistics of the hou-e-owucr. The
following examples of such homely
literature nro taken from "The Land lie

' Within this house a guest to d iv.

Against his will I cannot strive. "
Th'i mistrustful character ol the Saxon
thus finds vent :

10 teemed Counterfeits.
In tho southeast corner of the Sub-
Treasury building, toys tho New York
Comnvr-ml AatertiHr, is a quiet, cozy
little room that might almost be taken
for the private office of a city lawyer,
with its two desks, leather-cushioned
chairs, and large bookcase. There is
little about it suggestive of money or
great wealth, except tho heavy wiie
screen or partition which separates the
two employes from contact with the out
side public. In the screen are two small
window-like openings through which all
business is transacted. Currency seldom
finds its way into this ollhe, yet un
counted millions in government securi
ties arc pnssea buck ana forth tnrougn
the windows in the screen, for the office
is the bond department of the Sub-
Treasury. Hero subscriptions to gov
ernment loans are taken, culled bonds
redeemed and registered bonds ex
changed. There nrc other offices
throughout the I mted states where the
same work is done, but as New York is
the linanciulfcentre of the country, tho
greater proportion ot the bona business
is dono here.
M. L. Muiiiemnn, the heal of the
bond department, in describing the
method employed in transferring a regis
tered bond from ono holder to another,
or in changing a coupon bona ror a
registered bond, said :
"The whole matter of changing
coupon to registered bonds and of trans
ferring registered bonds is simple
enough. A person, for exnmplc, owns
a f 10,0(10 tour percent., 1JI0 , coupon
bond, and desires to have a registered
bond in its stead. He brings his bonds
here, and makes out his application on a
blank, which we have prepared for that
purpose, in which ho gives his name
and address. The application and
coupon bond are forwarded to the bond
department at Washington. The gov
eminent opens an individual a count on
its books with tho bondholder. Tho
bond is then sent here nnd delivered by
us to the owner. That bond is only
transferable by tho holder upon his rcr
sonal signatuto to the assignment ou the
back of the bond, duly acknowledged
before a judge of the United States
Court, or the clerk of such court, or be
fore me. Tho government will bsuo
several bon 's instead of one if desired
aggregating the amount of the originnl
bond. The lurg03t registered bond is
.for $00,000.
Lost or stolen registered bonds cannot
be negotiated in the hands of a third
I party, und almost all b.rge investors,
Humks, trust companies, executors and
individuals prefer them to the coupon
form. The change is mado without ex
pense to the holder.

There are between :).", 000 nnd 40,(00
separate holders of United states regis
tered bonds, and every three monihs,
just previous to tho time the interest be
comes due, a full list of the holders is
made out and sent to the dilfcrent au
thorized agents of the (iovcrnment. The
list tills thsee huge volumes. The Gov
ernment makes out the checks for tho
accruing interest every ninety days mi l
these checks are sent directly to tho
owners of the bond.
Tho bond department nt tho sub
treasury is the conduit for the subscrip
tion of the new Government loans, unci
for the redemption of culled bonds. In
the case of a bond cull, the department
is notified of tho number nnd kind of
bond to bo redeemed, nnd, ns the hold
ers bi ing them in, checks for the amount
of the bonds are made to tho holders for
presentation to the sub-treasury teller in
the main room, by wh:ch the cash is
paid, tho bond being returned to Wash
ington. There are but fow counterfeit bonds
nt present in existence. A number of
attempts havo been mado to imitate
Government bonds and for a time with
some success, but Mich counterfeits havo
always becu detected in tlie sub-treasury,
though in some instances they wero
executed witli tho utmost cleverness.
The counterfeit $1000 bond executed by
Smith, who was engaged iu tho work
with lirockway and Doyle, was tho most
dangerous counterfeit of this class ever
issued. S.nith had been in tho Govern
ment employ and engraved the plutes for
tho original bonds. Tho consequence
was that when lie executed the counter
feit plates ho improved on his fust and
legitimate work, nuil the i ounterfeit w us
really better than the original to ull
appearance. These 1000 bonds wero
the !arge-t bonds that have been counter
feited. Hut this dangerous gang of
counterfeiters huvo long since been
bioken up by tho secret service oflicers
of ti e United Mates, its members im

The tingled, unshorn hair.
And these the tbnughU that came uncallod,
Unto my musing mind:
Where, in the higher walks of Ufo,
Can we contentment firkli
Content in such a great degrefl,
As this poor workman proves
Dwells constantly within the walks
Wherein he daily movesf
IIow many of tho toilsome task.
That each new day must bring,
Could learn from that poor laborer
To be content and sing!
And find how light the work would fall-"
