Paul Laurence Dunbar. tt A MOUNTAIN GIRL, i ClP1S naorn,n- The rising sun II Just tops the crest of that por- Uon of the Appalachian chain of mountains between the northern and southern boundaries of the State of Kentucky, tinging Its peaks and crags with a grayish vagueness. From every rarlne and gorge huge clouds of smoke Uke mist arise, assuming wondrously1 odd and fantastic forms in the uncer tain light The stillness engendered by the natural environments and the time of day Is unbroken save now and then by the far-off bay of a foxhound float ing faintly from some mountaineer's cabin, or the whistle of a dove's wings as It flies swiftly by to the sedge fields. The sun climbs higher, and conscious of Its might, drives back to earth the quenching mists. The rear guard shadows of the night are mysteriously disappearing The smoke of numerous cabin chimneys can now be distin guished rising In curling columns of blue. Along the rutty clay road, or rather mountain path, and hugging the wormeaten rail fence for safety a red fox slinks under cover of the alder bushes, his whiskers and brush brist ling with pendant drops of ekrly morn ing dew. A mother qunil and her brood, that have been pluming their feathers on a topmost rail, with an affrighted whirr fly to cover. Presently a soldier In bis uniform comes galloping furiously down the road; he passes at full speed; the sound of his steed's hoof beats grow fainter. and silence for a few mluutes again reigns, only to be broken by a dozen or more meu In uniforms of the other side, who break cover and also come down the road like mad; their horses reeking witn sweat ana blood. The first man, farther down where the road forks, hns turned to the right; these others take the left-hand branch. In a few mo ments shots are heard, and presently a horse, the one ridden by the first man, comes galloping back to be met and caught by a slim, dark-eyed moun tain girl, who comes suddenly out of the bushes from somewhere. She stands there holding the bridle reins in her right band; the left is pressed hard against her heart as if to ward off an nnseen blow. Her eyes stony In their Intensity, look off far up the valley to break In the mountains, where God's good morning displays its brightest rays. Her gaze finally turns slowly to the pursuers, who at sound of the shots have ridden back to the forks, and catching sight of the girl and the horse comes excitedly up the road toward her. "Bob Jordan's darter," says one of them. "Jes' es I thought," laconically replies he, who appears to be in command. "The pesky critter s got warnln' frum sum'ers, or he'd btn'r gone fawn skin afore now. Whut air you adoln' beah at this time o' day?" he demands of her. For the first time the girl seems to take full notice of their presence. "Did ye heah whut I sed?" he de mands more commandlngly. "I'd like to know whut consarn that Is uv your'n?" she replies, turning to him defiantly. "Ain't er body got a good right ter go wbar they please 'thout beln' stopped tn ther road and pestered ter death "bout hit by er lot ov big, cowardly ben?

Ef you'uns want ter find him, you'd bet ter look fer him." "Whar'd you git his critter, then?" breaks In one impatiently. "I stopped him In ther road, right heah, es I come from down ther path thar. The critter wuz comln' lopin' op, when I. run out an' headed him off." After parleying a few moments, the spokesman again turns to her. "We'uns think thet more'n likely ye wuz tellin' ther truth jest now," he ventures. "Spechully es ye air a mem ber uv ther church, and your daddy wuz, too, an er elder besides. Sissy," he insinuates, "nobody ever beerd tell uv your tellin' no lie afore. Which way did ye say ther critter wuz kuramin' frum?" She looks him steadily In the face. "That way," she says, indicating with a wave of her hand the opposite direc tion. "Ther Lord ferglve me," she mentally pleaded, "fer tellin' ur lie fer him." "Thet won't do. Sissy.

But he had seen the interceptor, and was prepared, and as the other fired at him going by he too had fired In return. and slew him. It was but a moment's work to exchange bis steed for the fresher one of the dead man and ride furiously forward again.

You would not think so now as you look at my beautiful wings, would you? I used to watch the butterflies sailing about mid wish I could fly as they did. I t-Ould not crawl and could not go very fast. I used to feed on milkweed leaves. I liked them as well as you like bread and butter, little boy. One day a little girl broke off the leal pn which I was feeding and took It with me on it, into a room wlier there were many children. Some ol them said "What a pretty caterpillarf I had stripes of yellow, black and white across my back. A lady took me and put me Into a glass jar. I could not get ont. Every day the children brought fresh leave for me to eat. There was nothing els for me to do, so I ate and ate and grew very fat. By and by I began to feel sleepy. 1 fpna a covering to keep me warm, roll ed myself up In it and bad a long, long sleep. One day I awoke and tried to throw off my clothes, but they seemed very heavy, and I could not move them at it first. But after trying many times I wat fit last able to crawl out of my warm bed. I was stiff at first and could hardly move. Something seemed to have grown on my hack, and I could not get rid of It. I crawled over some dry leaves and sot out of the jar and walked on the window sill. Soon a . little girl said "Oh, see the lovely butterfly!" I looked around, but ould not see one. Then some children fame up to me and said again: "Sev Vie lovely butterfly!" Then I knew they meant me, and I Knew what was on my back. I bad wings Just what I had always want ed.

We are so used to seeing the field sown with wheat and the crop come up and ripen that we quite forget how each little grain does a great work through the summer days In multiplying and adding to the farmer's harvest A farmer near Phoenix, Aria., planted one grain of white Australian wheat, and at harvest time from it had sprung 1,310 grains of this Urge, fat wheat He planted ten acres of this wheat and harvested 117 sacks, each weighing 138 pounds. The single grain spoken of produced thirty-six stalks, so you see even a grain of wheat helps wonder fully. A Little Nan. There is an old saying that opportu nity Is kind, but only to the industrious. As an illustration of this idea we may cite the old Persian legend that a poor man waited 1,000 years at the gates of paradise hoping that they would open and he could enter. Finally he snatched one little nap of a few minutes' dura tion, but then it was that the gates opened and shut. Von Moltke, the tri umphant strategist of the Franco-Prussian war, said: "To win you must be at the right place at the right time, with a superior force."

Never was the value of cleanliness more strikingly exemplified than in the success which has rewarded the ef forts of Benjamin F. Keith. He has demonstrated that the good in theat ricals Is not only the most enjoyable, but the most remunerative. He has revolutionized the branch of the busi ness to which his houses are devoted. Sixteen years ago the variety theatre was shunned by women: to-day wo men and children constitute 60 per cent, of the patronage of his Phila delphia house. No more enjoyable en tertainments are provided anywhere. and the audiences that assemble in his playhouses Include the foremost neo- ple of the city, as well as the most dis criminating theatre-goers. The Keith clientele exceeds the pat ronage of anv two other theatres in Philadelphia. While many other stages are defiled now and then bv the salacious, the Keith houses and simi lar ones are ever places where a moth er never hesitates about giving her daughter permission to attend them..

The question of heredity, or the tran mission of certain uieutal traits ot physical characteristics from parenti to children, is one that has ben mud) studied, but of which as yet too litUe is known. Formerly the inheritance of disease was believed in Implicitly, by physicians as well as by laymen, and the list of maladies to which children were supposed to be almost iuevitabl; condemned by the accident of blrtb was a very long one. Among these hereditary diseases were reckoned consumption and scrof ula, leprosy, gout, rheumatism, goitre, cancer, insanity, epilepsy and uianj other nervous affections. As we learn more about these maladies, however, one after another of them is reiuured wholly or in part from this category and placed among the acquired d1 eases. Undoubtedly some diseases are really inherited, but their number is certainly not large. Many diseases ruu in fam ilies, but are not on that account ueet sarily hereditary. Consumption, for example. vas only recently regarded as one of the uw surely inherited diseases, ami is believfd by many to be so. Hut wi now know that It Is a perm disease which, while not "catching" lu the or dnary sense of the word, is readily transmitted from the sick to the el! whea the Invalid Is careless in his hah Its. especially as regards cxpeetoratioa It Is also acquired more readily by those of delicate constitution than by the robust The children of consumptive parenti are seldom robust, and so are predl Posed to any of the germ diseases, and living constantly in a house where thi germs of consumption are necessarily abundant, they are very likely to be come victims of that disease. This Is an Important fact. It teachs us that since, as a rule, only the pre disposition to the family dis-ease is I herlted, and not the disease Itself, chances of the younger generation' escaping, if proper care is used, r 7 great.
