"There may be Mimeibiug in the new neighbors, after all," said she to herself. When she had gathered the fruit and flower, she took a blue-and-gold edition of Mr. Ilrowning' poem, nnd went down into a certain woody uook th.it she loved, to read and dream. . "I can't be there when dear little Fairy id sent away," thought she, with a iuivcring lip. "The darling! she is so luippy in her nest of cottou wool in the basket.

But Walter had rescued the kitten from hi mother's avenging hands. "It's n pretty little creature," said he. "And it's bad luck to maltreat a present. 110, we'll keep the little shivering ball of snow, mother, nnd try and teach it to respect our garden-bed.

"Is this Mr. Vallingcr?" said she. "Mis Wylie, I believe," said Walter, who had the kitten nestling in it cotton lined basket ou his study-table in full view. Oh, treacherous Fairy, who was already entirely reconciled to her new lot that she had not even a recognir.ing purr for the little mistress who had loved her so dearly I "1 am so sorry so ashamed!" began Tinette. "But I neveieveu knew it until this morning. Oh, what must you have thought? What sort of people must you have supposed us to bet" "I beg your pardon!" said Walter,him self beginning to get 11 little confused. "The kitten, you know," explained Tinette "I feared that i. I was tpuite certain that she was going to bo an an noyance to you, so I packed her in a basket to send to my uncle, who lives on the other side of the mountain. And I gathered some strawberries on the same day, aud mamma think she must have sent the wrong basket because, when I went to I'nele Hob' to sro how dear Fe.iry was getting along, thero was no Fairy there, and I couldn't understand what he meant when he thanked mo for the lovely strawberries and roses. So then it flashed over mo all of a sudden, nnd mamma can't think how tho could have been so careless, and oh, please," with n pretty clasping of the hands that laid a pink dimple in every knuckle, "do forgive us, and let us havo Fairy back again!" "But I don't think," said Walter Val lingcr, "that I can spare her. I've be come very fond of that kitten, do you know, Miss Wylie?" "I thought you hated cats," said Tinette." "So I did," said Walter "at least I didn't liko 'em. But I havo changed my platform iu regard to this particular cat, She is tho dearest, gentlest, most sagac ious littlo creature " "Oh, isn't she?" cried Tinette, with kindling eyes. "I knew you would find it out in time!" "Aud my mother is as fond of the kit ten a I am, strange to say," ho went on. "You will let us keep her, I am sure?" Tinetto's eyes fell; her color rose; this was too severe a trial of her loyalty. "Couldn't couldn't we own her to gethsr?" she murmured. Wulter Vulliuger could not resist this appeal.

And it was a full hour before she went home to tell her mother what charming people the next-door neighbor were I "And I ara to take Fairy over to seo them every day," said she. "I declare," said old Mrs. Vallingcr, "I didn't think it would be possible for me to miss a cat so much ! She was a deal of company for me. By tho way, Walter, how very pretty that young girl "Very." said Walter. Mrs. Vnllinger snid no more, but her thought traveled nfar into tho future. Liko nil women sho wa a born match maker.

According to tho most authentic In formation that can be obtained, the Eng lish sparrow wa first brought to this country in 1850, when eight pairs were imported into Brooklyn by director of the Brooklyn Institute. They were liber nted iu the spring of 1851, but did not thrive. The next year n large number wa imported. Fifty were let loose nt the Marrows, nnd in the spring of 153 the rest were liberated iu Greenwood Cemetery, and n man was hired to watch them. Tiny did well nnd multiplied. In 1851 nnd 1S5S sparrow were intro duced at Portland, Me., and in the latter year nt I'eacedale, II. I. Some of these birds escaped iu Boston, but nothing was heard of them, nnd it wa ten year later whi n they were llr.-t let loose on the Bos ton Common. Twelve bird were liber ated in Madison Sipinre, New York, in lhbO, and four year afterward thev were introduced to Central Park. In IMIG 200 sparrow were set free in ln ion Square. Tho following year forty pair were let loose in New Haven, Conn., and a colony wh established in Galveston, Texas. In 1809 1000 sparrows were imported in one lot by tho Municipal Government of Philadelphia, this being prolmlly the largest single importation of sparrow ever made to this country. By this time the "crau for the siucv littlo sparrow had become full v de. vcloped, nnd they were rapidly colonized in nil parts of the country. Some idea of the marvelous rapidity of the sparrow's multiplication, the swiftness of its exten sion nnd the size of the area it has over spread may be gi.ine.l from the fact that nt the close of the year 1 Still it had es tablished itself in thirtv-Jive States and livo Territories, oeoupving 11 total area of 885,000 square mile in the United Slate nnd about 148,000 square mil"S in Cana la. In ISSt) alone the sparrow spread over 51G,50tTipiare mile. It i a hardy, proline, anil aggressive bird, intelligent nnd with more than ordinary cunning. It is domestic and gregnrious 111 habit, and through the protection afforded by prox imity to man it escapes nearly all the ene mies which check the increase of native birds. Beside all this the sparrow had food and shelter provided for it for inauy years. AVie York Yim. Trick of Lightning Shcteli Arils!. In the illustration of his lectures by the drawing of rapid caricatures on tho stage, Thomas Nasi, the cartoonist, i said to resort to one of the e helpful tricks which every artist who attempts this sort of "lightning" sketch business before audience find it necessary to make use of. No mini, however practi cal and expert, can be siilriciently sure of hi nerve and skill under such circum stances to rely wholly upon them, and thus ho is compelled to resort to soino little harmless deception. The im portant line iu cartoons so executed Mr. Nast has pricked out beforehand with pin holes invisible to the spectator, and by these hi chalk i guided. Others lightly sketch their outline with a solu tion of gmii-nnhic, which is made visi bio to the artist by tho reflection of the glare of the footlights. The most com mon woy, however, is to do tho tracing with a mixture of soapsuds aud Canada balsam, with a drop or two of some fixed oil. This leaves uti invisible but sticky line. When the urtist goes to work before the audi ence ho holds in his hand n rag ou which crayon-dust has been rubbed. This dust catches on the outline, and really makes tho mark that is apparently produced by the stick of crayon held iu the fingers. 1'icnyttne. Tho Drummer's lltise, A short time ago a driimaier from abroad called u a B.mgor livery stable nnd wanted 11 double team for a ten days' , trip into the country, and the stable uum refused to let him have one on the ground that he was a stranger. There was much ! discussion over the matter, and filially thy drummer said: "What i your team worth?" "Four hundred and fifty dollars," was the reply. "If I pay you that sum for it, will you buy it back again when I return?'' nslied the customer, and ujioii receiving tin nflirmiitive reply, ho promptly put up tho cash. Ten day later ho returned, uud ' driving into the stable, he alighted and ; entered tho olhee, saying. "Well, here is your team, aud now I want my money back." Tho sum was passed to him and he turned and was leaving tho place when tho liveryman called out, "Look here, aren't you going to settle for that team?" "For what team?" asked tho drummer, iu a surprised tone. "For tho one you just brought back." "Well, now," drawled the drummer, "you nren't fool enough to think that I would pay anybody for tho use of my own property, uro you?" and ho shook tho dust of tho place from his foot. llungor Me.)
