Tho sun was sending lone lines of yellow light through tho western win tlows of tho pleasant school room, rorty pairs of little hands were busy (Hitting books and slates awn? for the day, and forty pairs of little feet shuffled restlessly In their eagerness to bo free. Miss Boyd gave n tired r.lgh as tho last small klndergnrtner was out of flight. Had to-day, sho wondered, been moro t.an unusually full of bruised heads and cut fingers de manding her nttcntlon, halr-rlbbons and npron-strlnEB lo bo tied, and small outbreaks of mischief to be checked? She rested her head on her desk. I alter, patter, enmo tho sound of bare Icet down tho hallway; tho door was t'mldly opened.

Tho few sunbeams which found their way through the narrow win dow seemed to loiter gladly In tho red- gold of the child's hair, which lay n violets, and that was her father's vlo- ncn profusion on me pmow nnu keM Ikes," ah MM; "ataaw ami thea cm ay pillow;" and the for tha fra( time Mtaa Boyd Betted that tbe eall hands were aferuakea aad nleeaapea and lay e the bad M If llfolees. The child looked at them with a sad little anile. "Mutter aays they will not alwaya be so," she said. "Some day I shall go to God's country and Me will touch ray poor hands and make them nil well. Then I can gather vlo lots for myself when I'm In Clod's country." Many n day after this found Miss Uoyd at tho bedside of the little suf ferer, and tho violets always camo with her. Thcro was only ono thing tho little ono loved better than tho framed a face of surpassing loveliness. As Miss lloyd leaned over the sleep ing child this sweet, tender flower breathing out Its delicate llfo nmldst tho foulness of a tcnament house as sho noticed tho transparent whiteness of tho little face In vivid contrast to lln Ho was a stolid old German with sleepy blue eyes sleepy except when ho was bending over llttlo sister or his beloved violin.

Sho turned to llttlo German Kreddy with with tho smi o which tho smallest Kln dergartner said made you "feel so comfy," and there was no trace of fatigue fn tho bright voice as she said "Well, llttlo ono. what Is It? "Our llttlo sister," stammered Fred dy, "she wants to see you." Miss Uoyd laid her hand upon the boy's shaggy hald. "Tell me about your llttlo sister." sho said. "Oh. she's Just our llttlo sister," replied Freddy, "nnd she's sick all tho time. her bed Is uy the window, and when smell tho violets and see tho blue of Juno skies as tho man breathed tho country into his violin. And gradu ally tho lines of pain on tho child's faco would disappear and only tho sad eyes told tho story of anguish. "It is always so," said her mother. "Tho voter's violin can sooth o her bet ter than anything else. Hut it will not bo long cro the great Voter takes her In Ills arms and soothes her forever." A week had passed nnd Mlsa Boyd had not called at the houso, when one day Freddy said, "Miss Uoyd, our llttlo sister's going to die, and mother wants you to como tonight if you can." Miss Uoyd found a wonderful change In the llttlo child. Tho look of pain and suf fering had gono from the eyes, and in its placo was a light which only tho whlspors of messengers from God's country could havo brought. "She does not suffer," said the mo ther. "The doctor saya she will go to night, and we wanted you." And so the mother and father and the "good teacher" sat by the bedside watching and waiting while llttlo sis ter passed Into the silent land. Only the tlck-tock of the clock and tho shortened breathing of the child broke the stillness of the room. Suddenly she half raised herself. "Tho country," sho said, and trem blingly the vater took his violin but alas! tho babbling of tho brook had nothing, savo tho sound of tears running through it; whiteness of tho songs of the birds were hushed and i.o rn.n .o,n,t in imiimtn mfT..rine. sad: tho low crooning or tno wmus The story was nil In tho eyes.

Taking tham from her bolt, the teacher said with a Blraplo smile, "Would you Ilko them? My boys and girls bring me somo every day, and I should llko to stare with you." The glad light which flashed Into tho child's eyes showed that they could speak a lan guage other than plain.

AN EGYPTIAN MUMMY, 2,000 YEARS OLD, HAD APPENDICITIS, An Egyptian mummy of 3,000 years ago, recently examined, showed evi dences of having died of appendicitis, ao that tbe dlseaso Is not by any means new. Four hundrod casos were oporated on in London hospitals last year, all but ton successfully. Sir Francis Treves has oporalod with success on 100 succcsslvo cases.

Prospectors have lookod over the pavlnaw hill In tho Cherokee nation for mineral and after a careful Inspec tion of the country It was found that jnlncral existed. Enough has been learned about the lead and zlno of tbe pavlnaw country to warrant a mining ompany being organized for the pur se of developing the lead and zinc nines of tbe Cherokee nation.

Ono hears of the big mil lionaire owners moro than he doos of tho thousands of substantial com panies that go right, on with little notoriety, pnylng good wageo and monthly yielding dividends.
