The girl Was sincerely ill edthosSi
and it was something . of a sjiock
when he turned, toward .her that un

‘‘Irfellkee.Melican gal.**.
Fah Chung slept in.a tiny box of
a room at the back of Ids laundry.
Presently he tdok to bunking on his
Iron table.and Tet-tkctjOkld a toUgef.
Fah Chung seemed to desire’ a IdrgPr
income. He began “wasting his
substance on riotous” green-iade
boxes afid Chinese HalrpjnR, Which
he presented tb'hls spiritual sponsor
when he took Wfer washing home.
.Thef recipient .thought he i^fs.setting,

When.he laid* the mdneyoW (he table
and would have .none of it, she took
it that it was'below his price, so re
turned the pin, olid pocketed the
money herself. Finally KdaWned OH
her that he was making her a present.
She promptly declined thy gift, but,
the n?xt week It turned up. again.
At last she became SO tired of seeing
the much-relused : article ' boh' up

With alPherprimness, Miss Pear
son was of a somewhat adventurous
nature. The.great town tohercoun*
try mind, was full of wonders; and
leading, as a woman, even a young
and very pretty woman can, if slid
choose, in Now.York, as independent
u life as if she were her own brother,
she indulged her passion for explor
ing frequently. Her studies usually
occupied the day, but on those even-
IngS'tVherf she was not engaged in
setting the boarding' hoilse by the
ears’by catechising one or another,
fortunate young masculine, sinner,
she donned a trim little gray bonnet
and cloak and wandered out Into the
bewitching, brilliant night world.
She was not sure just why, but she
found that she felt a little uncom
fortable in walking by herself up
Broadway, Fiftli avenue or Madison
square In the evening, but tlio good-
natured crowds It) the less fashion
able partsof the town never annoyed
dr frightened her.
1 What more blissful than to walk-
down Sixth avenue, with its cheap
restaurants filled with noisy, merry
people?

A LITTLE FIDDLER.
'‘Guess what Uhave in my hand,”
iMid Lucy, as she held her fat little
fiat close to Minnie’; ear.
1 “Hear it!’’ she cried; and Minnie
listened intently.
“Isn’t that pretty?”
“Oh, very,” said Minnie. “What
ean it be?”
“Guess!” cried Lucy again, laugh
ing heartily.
. It was of no use. Minnie guessed
and gnessed, and listened over and
over to the sweet, fine little song that
went higher and lower ns Lucy slightly
clasped and nnclasped her hand.
It was such a queer, merry littla
tune, like nothing she had ever heard
before.
“I give it up,” said Minnie. “Do
tell mo what it is!”
Lucy opened her hand and showed
Minnie a long, narrow, scarlet insect
with black spots.
“It is a fiddler,” she said, “and
you only find them on milkweed
plants; one fiddler plows very well,
but two do better, let us get soma
more.”
So the little girls ran away to some
milkweed plants near by, ;nd were
soon enjoying fine concerts from their
qdd little fiddlers. ^
They were very carefnl not to
squeeze the little players too tightly
or hurt them in any way, and after a
few tunes would let them fly away,
getting fresh fiddlers when they
wanted more music.—Youth’s Com
panion.

ANNIB FRAZER, HEROINE.
Tiny Annie grazer, who saved her
father’s.life at the risk of her own last
month, has shown that heroism is not
a matter of years.
Samuel Frazer is a miner. His home
is in the little village called Hell Gate,
not far from Wilkesbarre, Penn. Ho
drew his month's wages - on Friday,
July 6th. Times had been hard at the
coal minesj and when Frazer found
that he had earned, twenty days’ pay
he was very happy. It was more money
than.he hpd seen at one time in years.
He, could not' stand prosperity. Ho
drank too much whiskey, and wandered
AwayTrom hoine early next morning.
Mrs; Frazer and their only child, An-
nie, •who is otily eight years old, set
out to look for him. -They walked in
opposite directions along the Lohigb
Valley Railroad. -
The child found her _ father
fast asleep on' the' track. Sho
tried to arouse him but the fumes of
liquor deadened his senses, and he lay
almost nneonseious. . Annie knelt; be
side tke man^and bogged him to get
up, The rails began -to 'vibrate.- A
train, was coming. The man lay near
acur.ve in.; deep.cut whoso' high em*
baQkments.hid him from view.
"Wake,up,- papa!’,’ cried, Annie.
“The cars, are coming I Wake up!”
But the drowsy man only mumbled
incoherently. Annie sobbed as sho
tried with all her strength, -to lift her
father out of danger. She could do
nothing. -
Hc,w could she stop tha train? . Tlia
end of a red bandanna handkerchief
drooping from her father’s pocket
gave Annie a hint. She quickly drew
-/jut’’the handkerchief and ran down
Abe railroad track. The roar of tho
approaching train could now be dis
tinctly heard. Tho little girl fell
twice, and bruised herself on tho
Tough road-bed. But she struggled
on..to the end.of tho cut. There she
stopd, waving the red handkerchief
ind ,crying. , The pngi.neer . saw tho
signal, and he stopped the train so
•suddenly that many passengers were
thrown from their seats. The child
stood between the rails when the
loebmotive was halted in front of her.
Two brakemen shook Frazer, and
told-him bow his daughter had saved
his life by putting her own in peril.
In?..shock sobered the miner. He
bivJke down a^id wept.
. The passengers cheered Annie as
her father carried her away, and he
has promised his wife that he will never
drink liquor again.—Harpers’ Young
People.
