TOM NELSON and his cousin.
Harry Morton, were deeply inter
ested In the rearing of pigeons.
Their fathers owned adjoining farms,
and the houses were about a quarter of
a mile apart. Many were the journeys
that the boys made to and fro In order
to compare notes and to exchange ideas
In regard to the care and training of
their pets.
Indeed, so urgent and pressing at
times was the need of speedy communi
cation that they so trained several blnla
of the carrier species that a message
could bedlspatched and a reply received
m an astonishingly short space of time.
Each boy carried home every night a
pigeon from the other's dovecote, which

he kept In a cage ready to send with a
note when occasion required.
One rainy day Tom Nelson, having
nothing to do and finding the time
hanging heavily on his bunds, thought
it a favorable opportunity for him to
pay his cousin a visit, and had caught
op his hat with that Intention, when his
father, passing through the kitchen
where he was, said:
'Tom, I am going to the village, to be
gone several hours, and I don't want
fou to leave the house. I have noticed
everal tramps around here lately and
they might be troublesome to your
mother if they found her alone."
"All right, sir," said Tom, who felt
somewhat disappointed, but be had
long ago learned to not grumble about
trifles.
I feel uneasy about that money,
Beorge," said Mrs. Nelson, who had en
tered the room and was looking anx
iously at her husband.
"What money?" asked Tom.
"Why," said his father, "the school
Doard at their last meeting made me
treasurer and banded me all the funds,
mountlng to a little over $500."
"Where la it?" asked Tom again.
"Safely hidden away where no one
will be likely to find It," answered his
father, laughing. "If you and your
mother don't know where it is you will
not be able to tell any one, tbat'a cer
tain," and be went off.
"I never feel safe with bo large an
mount In the house," said Mrs. Nelson,
and she went about her work with a
preoccupied air.
Tom busied himself writing a note to
his cousin, and when It waa ready he
went to the woodshed and brought In
the cage containing the messenger. He
waa just going to tie the note to the
bird's wing when the kitchen door
opened and a man walked In without
knocking, a man of the real, genuine.
unadulterated tramp species dirty,
ragged, unkempt and brutal-looking.
"Villain" was written 1b unmistakable
characters on his ugly countenance.
He asked abruptly for, or rather de
manded, something to eat, and Mrs.
Nelson, with a troubled glance at him.
set about preparing a meal, pretending
to take no notice of the furtive glancrs
which her unwelcome guest was cast
ing around him.
Tom, who was a slightly built lad of
15, did not seem a formldabje obstacle
to this burly rogue, for after one care
less glance In the boy's direction he
took the chnlr offered by Mrs. Nelson
and sut down to bis dinner.
Tom. remembering his father's part
Ins words, was in a sore dilemma. He
- lustwi-tlvely feared the man. for he
knew that he had not the strength to
contend with him if violence was offer
ed, and he felt sure there would be
trouble when the tramp had refreshed
himself. There were no near neighbors,
and be could not leave his mother alone
while be went for help.
While all this was passing through
his mind his glance fell upon the note
he bad written, and he started as a
thought entered his mind. Seizing the
pen, he oieued the note and hurriedly
added:
"A rascally looking tramp has just
jome in. Mother is feeding him, but
there is no telling wlmt be will be up
to when he gets through eating. Ask
uncle and Mike lo come over as quick
as i hey can. Father is away."
1 jleuln;f the note securely to the
p'e-ju, he went to tl-e door, and open
Mg .t let the bird go. As he did so the
31:111 iirung from the table where he
had been swallowing his food In great
gulps, caught Tom by the shoulder and
flung him across the room, saying,
roughly:
"Sft down, sonny, and make yourself
easy. Uoln' to call the neighbor, was

and be quick about it,"
airs. Kelson, pal and trembling,
sprang between them, trying to explain
that they were Ignorant as to the loca
tion of any money.
"Come; none of that!" fiercely Inter
rupted the man. "Shut yer jaw or tell
me where it Is. It'll be the worse for
ye if ye don't. That school money yer
man's takin' care of. Too know what
I mean."
Then he drew a revolver, threatening
to shoot them both If they persisted in
their denial.
Mrs. Nelson snook her bead; abe could
not speak; but Tom, white to the lips,
muttered hoarsely:
"You'll have to shoot, then, for I don't
know where It is, and I'm glad I don't
for I might be coward enough to tell If
I did," and then shut his eyes, expect
ing the worst.
The tramp eyed them Incredulously
for a moment, and, making up his mind
that they were speaking the truth,
after a pause of indecision, opened a
door near where be stood. Discovering
that it was a dark closet, without win
dow or means of escape, he drove them
into it at the pistol's point, and as there
was a key in the door locked them In.
, Then be began the search. It was a
long one, tcv the money was well hid
den, apparently. Cursing and swearing,
he emptied the secretary and bookcase
into the sitting-room; the bureaus and
wardrobes In the bed-rooms, scattering
the contents over the floor; the side
board In the dining-room, and the clock
on the mantel. He ripped up the mat
tresses and pillows, turning the house
into disorder, but no money could he
find.
Mad with rage and disappointment,
still he persisted, in spite of the danger
of discovery if he lingered. He was in
the act of splitting open a tin savings
bank, a relis of Tom's babyhood, which
was heavy with a weight of 1-cent
pieces which Mrs. Nelson found con
venient to have on hand, when a calm
voice of authority waa heard at the
door, saying:
"Give It up, my man; it's no use. And
come along with me."
It was the village constable who
spoke, at the same time holding up a
pair of handcuffs in a significant man
ner. The tramp made a dash at the oppo
site door, where he found Mike, Mr.
Morton's hired man a brawny Irish
man who said, soothingly:
"Whist, whist; not so fast, honey."
He glanced wildly at the windows
and saw stationed outside Mr. Nelson
at one window and Mr. Morton at the
other. Mr. Nelson bad returned earlier
than be expected, and had fallen In
with the relief party which the con
stable, on the trail of the tramp on his
wn account, had also joined.
The man, at bay, felt for his revolver.
"You made a slight mistake, ray
friend," said the constable, in a Jeering
way, "when you left it lying on the dining-room
table."
Seeing that the game was up, the
man, with an Imprecation, allowed him
self to be handcuffed and followed the
constable In sulky silence.
Harry, who hnd followed the others,
soon discovered the prisoners by the
very vigorous blows and sounds In the
kitchen closet and released them. One
and all then and there agreed that the
pigeon is one of the most useful and
lovable of birds. Mr. Nelson, who had
been Inclined to consider his son's inter

bills from the top of a door-casing
where it had been snugly reposing, "the
rascal might have got away with this
after all If there had been time. How he

possession Is what beats me."
It was a mystery which was never

has given performances every day In
the year, save on Sunday, during the

Is more profitable than Is the regular
season of the average theatre. The
scheme of providing entertainment
from noon to 10.30 dally is as popular
here as It Is in other cities In which the
Keith houses are located. It la not
unusual for a o'clock P. M. assemblage
at the Keith house to be aa large as
that gathered for the regulation evening
entertainment at any other house In

The amount of gold turned Into ateta
each year by the mints of the world ia
a mere nothing to the huge Quantity
used In gliding picture frames, painting
signs, binding books, designing on fur
niture and on pottery. The world's en
tire stock of gold Is about 1,100 tons,
but of this only 190 exists In the form
of coin.
This stock Is Increasing by about
three and a half tons a year. Four tons
and a half are minted, but a ton Is lost
by waste. This Is a small Item com
pared with the 120 tons which Jewelers
and gliders use up every year, and none
of this vast amount Is recoverable.
France Is the largest consumer of gold
for the arts. She uses 35,000 pounds a
year. Great Britain Is a good second,
with 34,100 pounds. The United States
follow next, with 31,000 pounds. Some
things marked "Made in Germany"
must be genuine, for her craftsmen use
29,040 pounds. Switzerland, with ber

pounds; Italy, 9.100 pounds; Russia.

similar amount.
Paper Made from Leather.
A novel use of leather is In the manu

alant, of Barentin, in France. This is a
sort of leather paper on board, which is
made from waste cuttings of skins Into
small bits, and then immersing them in
a large vat containing an alkaline solu
tion, which dissolves the glutinous
matter, but leaves the fibers unaltered.
The resultant fiber is then beaten and
afterward pressed through a refiner.
The stuff is run onto the wire and a
very thin paper Is made, which Is cut
into sheets, and while wet is placed m
piles and subjected to pressure to
squeeze the water out.

Alone In a bustling. Crowded city,
without friends, experience or refer
ences, John's chance of getting a posi
tion looked exceedingly slim. But. all
unknown to himself, be bad in his pos
session a better recommendation than
any employer could give; and this 11
was that secured him the situation
which proved to be the first step on
the ladder of success.
John was 18, and very anxious to gel
a desirable place in the office of a well
known lawyer who bad advertised foi
a boy, but doubted his success, be
cause, being a stranger in the city, he
had no reference to present.
"I am afraid 101 stand a poor chance,"
he thought, despondently; "however,
IU trv to aonear as well as I can, for
that way help me a little."
80 he was careful to have his dress
snd person neat, and when he took his
turn to be interviewed, went In with
his bat In his hand and a smile on his
face.
The keen-eyed lawyer glanced him
over from bead to foot
"Good face," he thought, "and pleas
ant ways."
Then he noted the neat suit but
other boys had appeared In new clothes
saw the well-brushed hair and clean
looking skin. Very well, but there had
been others there quite as cleanly; an
other glance, however, showed the fin
ger nails free from soIL
"Ah; that looks like thoroughness,"
thought the lawyer.
Then be asked a few direct, rapid
questions, which John answered as di
rectly. "Prompt," was his mental comment;
"can speak up when necessary. Let's
ee your writing," he added aloud.
John took a pen and wrote his name.
"Very good, easy to read, and no flour
.shes. Now what references have
vou?"
The dreaded question, at last I
John's face fell. He had begun to
feel some hope of success, but this dis
pelled It again.
"I haven't any," he said, slowly; "I'm
almost a stranger In the city."
"Can't take a boy without refer
ences," was the brusque rejoinder, but.
as he spoke, a sudden thought sent a
Hush to John's cheek.
"I' haven't any references," he said,
with ' hesitation, " "but here's a letter
from mother I Just received. I wish
you would rea It."
The lawyer took It. It was a short
letter:
My Dear John I want to remind you
that, wherever you find work, you must
consider that work your own. Don't
undertake It, as some boys do, with the
feeling that you will do as little as you
ran, and get something better soon, but
make up your mind you will do as much
as possible, and make yourself so nec
essary to your employer that be will
never let you go.
You have been a good son to me, and
I can truly say I have never known you
to shirk. Be as good In business, and
I am sure God will bless your efforts.
"H'm!" said the lawyer, reading it
over the second time. "That's pretty
good advice, John excellent advice. 1
rather think I'll try you, even without
the references."
John has been with him six years,
and last spring was admitted to the
bar.
"Do you Intend taking that young
man Into partnership?" asked a friend
lately.
"Yes, I do. I couldn't get along with,
out John; be is my right-hand man!"
exclaimed the employer heartily.
. And John always says the best refer,
ence he ever had was a mother's goo
advice and honest praise.
Itrldae of Hand Built by Anta.
Something new and Interesting about
anta was learned by a florist recently.
For a week or so he had been bothered
by anta that got Into boxes of seeds
which rested on a shelf. To get rid of
the ants he put into execution an old
plan, which, was to place a meaty bone
close by, which the ants soon covered,
every one deserting the boxes of seeds.
As soon as the bone would become
thickly Inhabited by the little creepers
the florist tossed It Into a tub of water.
The ants having been washed off, the
bone was put In use as a trap again.
Yesterday the florist bethought himself
that he would save trouble by placing
the bone In the center of a sheet of fly
paper, believing that the anta would
never get to the bone, but would get
caught on the sticky fly paper while
trying to reach the food. But the
florist was surprised to find that the
ants, discovering the nature of the pa
per trap, formed a working force and
built a path clear to the bone. The ma
terlal for the walk was sand secured
from a little pile near by. For hours
the anta worked, and when the path
was completed they made their way
over Its dry surface In couples, as In a
march, to the bone.
Black Know.
Recently In the Alps some of the na
tives were greatly worried at a fall of
apparently black snow. Had It not
been that a scientist was on hand to
explain that the blackness of the snow
was caused by Insects the Alps might
have furnished a miracle story for fu
ture grandfathers to talk about by the
winter fire. It is a curious fact that
an almost microscopic flea as black as
Ink feeds In the winter upon the moss
and lichens of the trees and rocks of
the mountain tops. In mild weather
millions of these minute creatures fly
In swarms, often taking advantage of
a snow storm to emerge. When tired
they settle upon the snow, thus mak
ing it look black. Sometimes whole
acres will be dotted with the Insects,
the snow appearing a dark gray color
on account of their presence.

The Teacher of PaderewakL
Tbe chief attraction at Vienna has
been Professor Leschetltxky, the teach
er of Paderewskl, and perhaps the best
known of all teacher, of piano". He Is
moody and Impatient, but Is a prince
of good fellows to the pupil who shows
talent or excessive Industry. He has
taught most of the great American
pianists.
I visited Professor Leschetltxky at
bis summer house at Ischl, and during
our conversation be made tbe follow
ing statements In regard to American
music students which are well worth
their attention:
"They ought not come to us unless
they are musical and know music.'
"Too many of them don't know how
to touch tbe piano, and I have neither
the time nor the patience to teach tbe
scales."
"A talented man or woman ought by
all means to come over here. If only
to see how little he or she knows about
music."

Industry. They are very enthusiastic
at first, but most of them drop off when
the hard work begins." Woman's

light of a frolic and his efforts Indulg

Baptists Porta, In his treatise onn.t

marble sepucher of the Roman period
was discovered in an Island near Na
pies, and on opening the tomb wa
found a vial containing a burning lamp
Thle lamp became extinct on breaking

open air. It Is supposed that this lamp
bad been concealed before the Chris
tian era, and those who saw It reported
that the lamp emitted a splendid flame.
In 1550 a remarkable lamp was found
near Atestes, Padua, by a rustic digger,
who unearthed a terra-cotta urn con
tatnlng another urn In which was a
tamp placed between two cylindrical
vessels, each of which was full of s
very pure liquid, by whose virtue the
lamp had been kept shining upward of
1 500 years. This curiouslamp was not
meant to scare away evil spirits from a
tomb, but was an attempt to perpeuat
tbe profound knowledge of Maximui
Olyblns. who effected this wonder bj
his extraordinary skill in chemical art.
St. Augustine say. a tamp was found
In tbe temple ef Venus, exposed alwayt
to the open weather, and which could
never be extinguished. Ludovlcus

waa found a little before his time, thai
had continued burning 1.050 years.
