"Oh, the stories these newspapers
tell. I've been reading about those
burning forests np north, and here is one
about people barelv escaping with their
lives from a house."
"I should think that might be rery
likely," said mother, who sat near.
"But in broad daylight?" said Ned
"It might easily be so at night."
"Even in daylight," said grandma,
laying down her knitt'mg. "Yes, in
deed. I know, for I have seen It"
There was a look in grandma's eyes
which told that her thoughts had wan
dered into a far-away past ' Nett and
Rorry exchanged glances which plainly
said:
"There's a story!"
liut they waited until grandma took
tip the knitting before stealing coax
iugly near her.
"Where did you tee woods on fire,
grandma?"
"And when?"
"And did you "most get burned?"
"Please, grandma!"
"Yes," said grandma, with a smile.
"I will tell you all about it And if
Ned is not too old to listen he will
more easily be able to believe some of
the stories he may see.
"When 1 was a little girl," she went
on as, the small company gathered
within easy hearing distance, "we
lived among great tracts of wood-land
which have since been turned into
farms and dotted with villages. My
father had taken np some land and was
clearing it as fast as be could. But
there were many miles of the thick
dark timber between ns and the open
country, with only occasional patches
of cleared ground."
"Did yon like living there, grand
ma?" l
"Wasn't it fearfully lonely?"
"As to liking it, 1 didn't know of any
other life, dean. And there were
plenty of pleasant things about it We
went berrying and nutting. ' We
. gathered wild flowers and autumn
leaves. We ran among the trees, as
wild and happy as any squirrel among
them. And, .best of all, I suppose we
were so busy as never to have time to
ask whether or not we liked our se
cluded lives.
"We sed, I and my little brothers
and sisters, to go to a district school not
very far from my home. There was
always an early fall term to which
only the children went, for the big
boys and girls of the district were al
ways working hard and eonld not be
spared until winter set in. Then they
went at their studies, and I am ready
to say," grandma smiled, "that they
accomplished as much in their short
time as many a one to whom study
time comes as a matter of course,
"Well, this season I am telling you
of t was about the oldest girl in the
fall term. In those days we had not ao
many studies as yon children hare, and
we did things a little differently. Home
of your ways," grandma pinched Nett's
cheek, "seem very queer to me, you
know. Spelling was made great ac
count of. It was considered a disgrace
for a boy or a girl not to be a good
rpeller, and one who was especially
good was talked of for miles around.
"All the last year 1 had been the
best speller among the younger set. I
was very proud of it, and not only I
but my father and mother. I had got
to think icjr it a matter of coarse that
no one could do as well as t.
"Yod may tbinW, then, that I was
taken down a little when a girl a rear
younger than I began crowding me
wery closely for first place in spelling.
Her family had lately moved into the
district, and Susan Blake soon showed
that she had been as well tanjjht m
any of , .

and then went to the foui to work up

"I couldn t fell you how annoyed 1

had always before looked only at me.
when a hard word was going down the
class.
"You have often heard me speak,
dears, of the danger of cherishing evil
feelings in the heart. It is fearful to
think how little fostering they need
to make them grow and increa.se until
they seem to eat out everything else.
1 speak from my own knowledge, vou
see-"
"Dear me!" interrupted Nett "To
think of grandinaever being a nsnghty
girL"
"I am sorry to say," grandma laid a
gentle hand on Nett's head as she went
on, "that my jea.lou.vy of Susan grew
until it seemed to come like a great
black wall between me and everything
which I used to enjoy. I would not
plcy with her at our playhouse made
with acorn cup dishes and hollyhocks
and elder dolls. If she came to where
we swung in the vine swing I went
away. Even at home my hateful feel
ing towards Susan pursued me. 1 was
always afraid of some one saying some
thing about my spelling so that I
should have to tell that I was no longer
the best one in the class.
"The day before the end of the term
t happened to be in the schoolroom
alone and a desire seized me to find out
which of ns really stood first.
"Miss l'arsons' desk, with her report
book in it, was always unlocked. I
knew that it was forbidden to look into
it, but I took it out and turned to the
spelling page. Some one, yon know,
left off head every day. and as the class
was small Susan and I would, of
course, have a good many head marks.
1 had kept count of my own, but not
Hasan's.
"There they were, the rows of neat
pencil marks to each name. My heart
beat as I counted them. Yes seven
teen for Susan, sixteen for me.
"How my face burned with anger and
disappointment In a day or two all the
neighbors would know that Polly Car
ter was no longer head speller. How
could I bear it? What right had this
other girl to come in and take my place.
"I made tip mv mind I would nut
bear it Miss ('arson's pencil lay there
in the desk. I took it up and added
two marks to my own row.
"But there was something else to be
done. Miss 'arson's always gave us a
ticket when we left off head. I must
have enough to match the marks, for
we always took them home at the end
of the term, and everybody in the dis
trict was sure to hear htjw many 1 had.
"I hunted in Miss Parson's desk un
til I found her tickets, and took two.
"Then I rushed out of the school
house. Of course some one was al
ways there first and I had often been
th re alone before, but my guilty con
science now made me afraid to stay. 1
ran through the woods to a little spring
which we were all fond of, and stuyed
there until 1 was sure it was school
time.
"There had been a long hot spell,
and the woods were as dry as tinder.
To this day 1 never can walk orer
crackling twigs and rustling dead
leaves without a picture of red tickets
before my eyes. I did not dare to feci
in my pocket until night, and then the
tickets were gone.
"I had never gone to bed before with
such a weight of wrong doing on my
heart I had never before lain awake
long, but now those pencil marks and
those tickets danced before my eyes
until I thought I should go wild. In
the darkness and in the hush all around
of the lonely woods I saw exactly what
I had done, 1 had stolen those tickets,
and the marks were a lie. And it had
been done to rob a companion of the
credit which was justly hers. All
growing out of my wicked jealousy
and self-conceit
"How could I undo it? Oh, if the mice
would only gnaw Miss Parson's book
before morning! (We were always
troubled with mice in the old fchool
housc after the corn had been gathered. )
If only a tornado would blow it away
or if it would burn up! anything to
hide what I had done. My only
straight way out of it would be to go
and tell Miss Parsons, but that I could
never, never do.
"All day long Miss Parsons once In
awhile went to the door and gazed
about with an anxious face. We all
knew why, for in our homes we had
heard plenty of talk about the great
forest fires which it was feared might
come too near us. The sky was smoky,
and the wind seemed like a blast from
a furnace.
"The last thing In the afternoon was
the counting of the headtnarks.
" "One ahead for Polly," said Misa
Parsons, smiling at me. 'Our little
girl keeps her place, and we are glad

of it because we know it is by faithful
study.' Think of my listening to that,
children! Then she said:
" 'It is nice to have some one who
keeps so near her as Susan. Such good
scholars should be good friends. Let's
see yonr tickets, Pol'y. I was anxious
to hurry away, but my little sister and
some others gathered around mo, in

flame, and it leaps over wide clear
spaces ia which men think themselves
safe. The school house stood under a
hill. The wind had suddenly changed,
bringing the tire up on the other side
and down upon ui before we had
dreamed of its being so near.
" 'Vc must reach farter's clearing,' I
heard Miss Pnrsons say. "Quick quick!'
"She started on a run and we fol
lowed her like a Hock of frightened
sheep. How that hot wind seemed to
catch our thro its as we panted on.
Sparks and embers began to fall
around us. I had my sister Rtithie's
hand. She was a solid little thing and
hard to drag along. Jimmy Deane,
one of the larger boys, took her other
hand and wc stumbled on, the sinoko
blinding and choking us. lluth fell

" "Polly,' said Jimmy, 'it'll be cither

does. Iiulh get,' I screamed. 'If
you don't I'll whip you I'll tell moth

"I stooped and pounded her till I
think it must have been through sheer
astonishment and fright at my treat
ing her so she struggled to her poor
little feet On we went, nt last reach
ing my father's clearing, where wo
found half the neighborhood fighting
the flames.
"It was a hard battle. Men and
boys and women and girls stood with
hands burned and blackened, with
panting breath and scorched hair. No
one knows how we might have come
out of it but for the help of the Great
Hand which alone can stay the march
of a destroying fiend. At what seemed
the moment of our last hops a few
rain drops fell upon our smarting
hands. With cries of joy and encourage
ment to each other we fought on, and
before long came the blessed shower
which saved many a forest home and
many a life."
"Was Miss Parson's book burned?''
said one of grandma's listener's, as
she paused.
"And all the tickets?"
"Did anyone ever know what yon
did, grandma?
"Yes indeed, my dears. I had had
my lesson. I had felt in my very
heart that if it had not been for the de
lay about the tickets we should not
have wasted those last precious min
utes in the schoolhouse. If anyone
had died I should have been a mur
derer. You may be sure that I did not
hold on to the lie which I had brought
through the fire. The first day we
were all back in the schoolhouse,
which was built by Christmas, for logs
were plenty and cheap, I told my ugly
story to all who were there to hear."

CANINE CONVERSATION.
From This Story It Would Seem That
Dog Have a I.sngnaire.
One pleasant summer evening, a gen
tleman, accompanied by two fine water
spaniels, came to the Newport ferry
landing in Cincinnati, and took the
boat to cross the river. Somehow, he
became separated from the dogs, and
when they saw him fast leaving them
they set up a vigorous howling. Sud
denly the larger dog plunged into tho
river and began to swim rapidly to
ward the Kentucky shore. He had
gone quite a dis tance, when lie seemed
to become aware that his companion
had not followed him. Turning around,
he swam back to where the other dog
stood, and then the two began to bark
at each other, carrying on a conversa
tion in the dog language, as it were.
The largest spaniel, as he floated by
the side of the landing, apparently was
urging the more timid animal to jntnp
Into the water; and, after the barking
duet had lasted some minutes, the
smaller dog, seemingly convinced by
the other's assurance, grew bold and
dived into the river. Both then turned
their noses toward Newport and be
gan to swim straight across, side by
side, and, on arriving on the Kentucky
shore, rushed np to their master, bark

Donald Kennedy Dear Sin I will slate ciy cam
to you: About nine years ago 1 was paralysed la
my left side, and the ben doctors (are me no relief
for two years, and 1 was advised to try your Die

was restored to health. About four years ao I be
came blind In my left eye by a spotted oetcraet.
Last March I was taken wtth Ia Grippe, and was
confined to my bed for three months. At the end of
that time, as la the start, then It struck me that
your Dl score ry was the thing for me; so 1 not a
bottle, and before It was half prone I was able to go
my work In the mines. Now in regard to my eyes,
asllontmylefteye. and about six months avo my
rlirhte) became affected with black spots orer tho
sight as did tho left eye perhaps tome twenty of
them but since I hare been using your Dlecwrery
they all left my rlht eye but one; and, thank God,
the bright light of heaven Is once more making tu
appeaince in my If ft eye. 1 am wonderfully ai-toiv
Inhed at It, aad thank God and your Medical
