"What do you do, Cnlch," Obtul l i uuncy demanded anxiously of Mr I'caslee, whom lit* found sitting under t lit* tiliado of tin* big maple tree ill front of his house, "when you think om* way u nd your wife thinks another about anything?" "Well, In ii case like that." replied Caleb, pursing his lips Judicially, "we commonly split the dlff'renee- ? and I tome round to her way of thinking I've found out I get 'long easier that way." Mr. Uuiiuey pondered this deject wily. "I H'poxe you're right," he agreed at Inst. "1 didn't know but what you'll studied out some way of gettln' round '??in and havln' your own way part of thi? time." "You ain't the first married man that's tried that," returned Caleb, with a suspicion of Irony In his voice "What's the matter now? You'n Mis' Ounney been bavin' a dlffrence of opinion?" Obed slowly polished the back of one hand with the palm of the other and gazed moodily at the ground. ^ "Well." he replied at last, "we bad some talk a day or ho ago 'bout gettln' the buggy painted." "Well," prompted Caleb n little Im patiently, "what about It?" Obed roused himself. "I'd kind of got my mind on the color I wanted it. but I hadn't gono so far as to tell her 'bout It," he explained. "I thought perhaps I wouldn't I thought some day when I wa'n't busy I'd haul the buggy down to Dan Noble's paint shop and set him to work on it ? tell him to paint the runnln' gear either red or yaller and the body a real dark blue." Caleb stifled something that might have been either a laugh or a cough. "It'll look kind of gay. won't it, when you get It done?" he asked. "I d'know ? mebbe It would have," Obed conceded, "but it didn't get as far as that." "I flggered," Obed went on, "that mebbe 'twould be as well If I didn't take my wife to Bangor with me when I bought the paint ; so I went out and dug some of my early p'taters to haul In ? I knew she wouldn't ride In on no p'tater wagon. The p'taters wa'n't much mor'n half growed and they didn't fetch much more'n half price, hut I fingered I c'd afford to lose a lit tle somethln' on the p'taters for the sake of gettln' the kind of paint I wanted 'thout havln' to argue. "It took me some time to get rid of my p'taters, and, as a matter of fact, I lost more on 'em than I had to pay for the paint, and that galled me some. When I got home I Kot the paint on loaded ofT'n the wagon 'fore she got out to the barn ? she most always comes out to see If I've forgot any thing she's sent for. I?ut I hadn't for got anything, for a wonder, so that pnrt was all right. "Come mornin', I went out to the carriage house to get out the bugjr.v i and haul It down to Noble's ? and. Ca leb. there wa'n't a sign of a huggy there! I couldn't understand It. and I went Into the house to ask 'bout it. She was workln* at the sink, and she i never even turned round when I asked , her where the buggy was. i "'The buggy's down to Dan Noble's i brin' painted!' she snaps, and I b'lieve j I heard my jaw click when it dropped 1 open. "'Well, good laud!' says I. 'Then' what In tunket am I goln' to do with all the paint I bought?' ?"You never snid anything to me | *hout huyln' any paint.' she says, kind of short. 'What color did you get?': And then I had to tell her. " 'Well,' says she. 'you c'n do any- ' thing you're a-mlnd to with It. It wouldn't have gone on to that huggvv, I anyway. I c'n see through you like su ! much sunshine,' she says, 'and I knew I a week ago what you was caliatiu' to, do. So yesterday,' says she. 'I had Man Noble come up here and get that ; buggy, and by this time he's got the! fust coat on to It ? and It's black paint.; too. You can do what you like with them fancy colors <?f yours,' she sav*. "So the upshot Is, I've 4tag a I < ?; i ? 1 <>f p'taters and ac^d.

William Ilell of Brlckervllle, Pa., as- | sen s that a dream revealed to him : the hiding place of a can of gold, the j property of John Belleman, his prede- j eessor on the farm. Belleman did not believe In banks, and aeoreted his ' money. He died suddenly and did not reveal even to his wife where he had : It secreted. Hell's atpry Is that he j had n dream that he was digging for , Belleman's money in the haymow <.f the barn. He was about to give uft the task when the spirit of Belleman appeared and commanded him to dig on. The next morning he went to the haymow, dug undor the hay and found a tin box. He took It to the home of Mrs. Belleman, who counted the contents, $5,000 In gold, *nd Hell was handsomely rewarded. THE LOST PIN By SHIRLEY MOHKItt. (Copy rlf M. I9i?. by th? Manure k?w?-., imprr HyndU-uto.) The girl*. six of thera, looked cau~ ttoutily tip Mint down tho squalid little street before venturing forth. The house t lioy wore leaving bore on u door plate the portentious words, "M iue, Cecils. Psychologist. Your Fu ture l'Y?<rtold," "Wasn't It a lark!" cried Catherine Harr. ' I'm terribly anxious to know who tho light-haired Adonis Is I am to moot this summer, and, Peggy, wasn't It wonderful what she tofcl you about the pin you got for ICaster, and how you'd lose It and have It returnou by our future husband-?" "Yes." shivered Peggy. "1 can't get over It. While she wan describing It I felt as though her eyes wore look ing clear through me. You soe, 1 have It on. pinned to my waist. ' ? The crowd separated. "Come along with me. Lois,'' beggod Peggy I have to stop In Tukif's to see about a braBB candlestick for mother." "1 can't today, dear! I'vo got to dress and go to CJrayatono'H to tea." Tukif's seemed to be deserted, but finally an old man appeared, and after Poggv stated her errand, ho retreat ed Into the mysterious region in the rear of the storo from which ho had omerged. Peggy, still feeling uncanny from her recent experience, had a sensa tion of unreality among the as semblage of ancient and oriental cu rios. She came to an old mirror and stopped, regarding herself Intently. "You big goose!" she said to the re flection in the glass, "to believe in such nonsonse as that old faker told you! Tako a long walk before you go home, and get It all out of your system." Sho drew the pins out of her sailor hal and startod to gather in some of the stray wisps of hair. The street door opened and a man came in. looking around hurriedly for a salesman, he saw nobody at first, then, spying a girl in n recess pat ting her hair, he gave a curt order: "Please tell Mr. Tuklf to deliver the lamp I ordered to this address." He held out a card and Peggy took it impassively. Of course he thought her a saleswoman, but what difference did it make. The customer turned to leave, but he hesitated, and looked deep Into the serious blue eyes. The eyes returned the look calmly and coolly. There was no excuse for staying, so he went, but, pas^pg the chair in which Peggy had b?n sitting, he stopped and picked up something. Peggy looked at the card and read: "Mr, Cyrus Harding ? Riverside drive." The old man returned Just then. Peggy delivered the card and mes sage, completed the business upon which she had come and left the store. Outside, she slipped her" hand under her Jacket to reassure herself that her new dihmond pin was safe. Hut to her dismay it was gone. Then it popped into her head that the customer who gave her the mes sage had picked something up and put it into his pocket. She hurried out and called a taxi. At the Riverside drive house, a Jap anese servant answered her ring. Mr. Harding had Just returned. She was ushered into a sitting room, a wonderful combination of black, old gold and blue. And then Mr. Harding pulled aside a portiere and stepped into tho room. He recognized her instantly, but if he was surprised he gave no sign. "How do you do?" he said courte ously ? interrogatively, for her visit puzzled him. "Good afternoon," choked Peggy. "I've ? -I've come for the pin you found," with a little deprecating ges ture. "Pin?" "Yes. The pin you picked up in the shop.' He frowned. "I don't seem to un derstand. I didn't find a pin." "But you picked up something. Don't you remember ? right in front of that teak wood chair!" earnestly. "Yes, I see now. But I didn't know you wanted it so much or I should have returned it. I really didn't think it so very valuable and ? 1 wanted it. No matter why! I didn't know what you meant when you spoke of a pin. I would have given it another name. Here- it is!" His hand went into his pocket and he held out a tiny tortoise shell comb, the male of one in her hair. Peggy flushed furiously. "Is that what you found?" "Yes. Isn't it what you came for?" "No! You see ? I ? I lost a pin, a diamond pin today. I don't work in the store. You made a mistake. I was In seeing about a candlestick, and I lost my pin. Then I remembered seeing you flnd something, and re calling your address, I came right away. I am very sorry and 1 beg your pardon. Good afternoon." "But," ho intercepted hastily. "I'd like to help you flnd your pin! You're sure It's gone!" "Why. yes! I think I am," running an Investigating hand over her waist. Then something dropped to the rug, and Cyrus Harding picked it up. "The pin," cried Peggy with delight "What a goose I've been." "A rery charming goose, whose mis fortune haa been my gain." And mm it turned out the fortune tell er wm rl*ht, for Peggy did1 marry the man who returned her pin. WONDKKtt % I'KTKOVA. "Tile Menial truest ion" at Majestic Theatre Next Thursday. MlUO.
