FLAVIA
The day was sultry and stlfllng. for
the sun shwwn wtth a flerce heat on
the scorchlnjj clty of Pompell. Over
Vesuvlus a clnud ln the shape of a
plne had been hovorlng for some days.
A gladlatorial show was gotng on
.to-day, and bloody conftlcts were j
raglng In the arena, whlle fterco I
crles nf tho populaco could be heard
expreaalng approval or dlsapproyai.
Llttle Flavia had been left at
home by hor parents, who were at the
show. Tho nurse loft tho llttle glrl
in the maln hall to nmuse herself.
Flavia took her kltten ln her arms, and
polntlng to the garlands of flowers fes
tooned on the marblo rolumns, arvl to
the fountaln which sparkled amld the
flowers and statuos, told lt of the
great banquet her father had glven
last nlght. Many great men had been
here, but now only chlldlsh prattle
could he heard. Flavia, becomlng tlred,
cllmbed upon one of the marble seata
and was soon asleep.
She was sleoplng soundly, when sud
denly (here was heard a deep roarlug.
It became louder and louder, and tho
hoiiye trembled. Thft slaves rushed
out into the street, forgettlng thechlld,
who still slumbered peacefully. Ve
[ suvlus was in an eruptlon, and ashes
and lava poured down on the strlcken
clty. The peoplo rushed out from the
show trylng to escape, but many per
lshed. Flavla's mother was separated
from her husband, and runnlng on and
on, reacher her door, where she fell
in a falnt.
Whlle the oxoavatlon of Pompell was
belng condnetod. thls house was dug
out. The workmen found a woman's
body at the door. On a bench In the
hall was what poemed to be one of the
many statues. But closer examlnatlon
proved |t to be a little g'rl's body,
and ln her arms was clasped a kltten.
V>ne of the men. who had a llttle
daughter a' home, hastlly brushed a
tear from hls eye.

THE AnVBATtmrcS OF A PIN.
When I tlrat tama to llfe I found I
waa In a large department store in
Norfolk. I was an ordlnaiy braaa pln,
and had for my companlons about two
dozen plns made of tne same ina
terln.1 as 1 was made of.
We were all to sell at 5 centa a pa
per. Here we stayed for a long tlmc
"" on a counter in this aame etore. tiev
ot erai peoplo looked at'ui, but dld not
i- ' seem to want to buy us. 1 S"6on be
,d-came acquainted wlth the lady that
' . preslded over the counter I waa on.
" | One day the daughter of a poor dres.-,
3- maker purchaaed tne and my compan
lt . lona. I was one of the tlrat plns she
e j uccd. i was atuck in a prlncesa dreaa
,_ made of crepe de achene, which ahe
waa maklng for a rlch young lady of
Norfolk. When ahe got the dresa I
stlll remalned In it. ,
But, like jnost plna, I had my ups<
nnd downa, too. One day a lady eare
lessly let me fall on the floor, and tho
noxt mornlng before I knew anythlng
T waa 8wopt In a duat-pan and thrown
In a back yard in a trash plle. About
a week later a llttlo boy who carno to
the hotise on an errand found me and
stuck me ln hls llttle coat, for what
reaaon I dld not know. On golng on
_. the atreot the next day a pretty young
lady who was about twenty yeara old
( aaked hlm to glve me to her to pln a
bunch of vlolots on her walat. which
he readlly dld. This same lady that
night put me in a handaome ptn
crtshton, and there I would have been
contented to remaln all the^ reet of
my yfe. I was in very good com
pany, too, for I had aa my companiona
a rtlamond acarf pln and two broooh
plna?one aet wlth aapphlre, and the
other wlth emeralds and rublea?and a
gold hatpln aet wlth araethyat, which
waa laylng near me on the hureau.
But I waB doomed to dlaappolntment.
One day I Baw the lady coroe ln the
room where r waa, and ahe began to
move around. I soon found out that
she waa packing her clothes in her
trunk. After she dld thla, I notlcad
that she began to dress. and I kne%
ahe waa going away to vlalt aome
plaee I dld not knrrw nf. I began to
hope that ahe would not take me wlth
her. because I waa reallng so peaceful
ly, but when she put on her hlgh collar
ahe used me to hold it together. I
went on something I had never been
on before?a traln. r atayed on the
train such a long time I thought I
would never reach my deatlnation. but
when I dld get off I was completely he
wlldered. There was nolae every
where: there were horses and carrlagea,
automoblles. street cars, blcycles, mo
torrycles and moro people than I had
even thought of seelng In all my llfe.
I aoon found out to my satlafactlon
that thla clty of so much nolae and
commotion was tho great and famoua
clty of New York. I ai? found out
that I was to he carrled acroaa a
large body of water. which waa calle-J
an ocean, to a Torelgn land. I waa
carrled on a largo ocean ateamer by
the name of Lnalfonla the next day.
Aa this lady who wore mo leaned over
the ralllng of the hoat to look down
at tha water, somehow I slipped out
of her collar. which before T had faa
ten?d. and I fell Into the de-p water
I fell and fell and fell, and when I
reached the bottom r knew no more
and explred at the ripe old age of
elght yeara.
