Lubin and Ba'oette were dressed as angels or fairies and were wating, ^ with childish impatience to rehearse I ' their ascenuing feat. They wore little wings to their backs, and Lubin j carried a quiver of arrows slung on his shoulders, such as Cupid wears. | couple of workmen adjusted the wirps that should convey them I through the great slit in the roof, down which at night the limelight was to penetrate, and the ringmaster rubbed his hands in a satisfied way and condescended to laugh with his subordinates, because he knew perfectly well that he had an excellent effect in preparation that should delight and astonish his patrons. Lubin was a stout boy of nine. His heart beat high at the thought of his ascent, and. though probably entertaining some misgivings, he assumed a stolid front and smiled bravely, tapping his little pink legs in the most casual manner with his gilt bow. Babette was only six. She had golden hair dressed like the halo3 one sees around the heads of saints, and - 1 -* J A n c ner eyes were uuimu a.uu umm a.-> a doe's, and her limbs slender and fragile, and easily bruised or broken. She had no mother to stand by acii? comfort her; but Lubin, who bad vowed his love for her, placed one arm around her waist and said: "See, Babette, we shall rise up toward the sky, like angels in the pictures; and the people will clap their hands and shout! And they will throw us sweetmeats, and the ringmaster will take you in his arms afterward and kiss ycu, and not use the whip, for you and I will bring him much money by our flying." "Yes, Lubin." answered Babette, shivering, "but it is a long way up *.o the roof, and the wires may break." "Not a bit of it." retorted Lubin stoutly. "See. I will go up first, and then you will feel sure." The wires were held in readiness. ""Now. then, youngsters," said the ringmaster, "up you go: Ha. ha, ha! This shall be a surprise!" Lubin stepped boldly forward, ..nd the hooks on the wires were fastened to a belt concealed in the folds of his trunks. Then the men above pulled, and he sailed gracefully uuward; his little pink legs posed elegantly, his arms held forward, and his wings fluttering as if he really flew, so naturally and prettily that the manager and those below cried out, "Fine! This is indeed fairylike; " When he was within three feet of the roof, the ringmaster clapped his ! hands, and down he came, and, being unfastened, was seat off to dress himself, with a pat on his head and a j penny. "Now, Babette," said they, "you come and try." Babette was nervous, but fearing i the whip more than the fall, submitted quietly enough. Up, up, up. 'intil she passed through the slit in ! the roof and was basking in the real ' sunshine outside "Excellent, excellent:" shouted the ^manager. When Babette descended she was rewarded with two pats on .the head and two pennies. She rushed to tell the news to Lubin. "I can fly higher than you. Lubin," she saiu exultantly. "I went right through tae slit m the roof, and Monsieur Cfaude gave me two pennies, and I am not a bit afraid." ' And she clapped her hands and danced around he? niid lover in great glee. 'Bravo, Babettf:"" cried Lubin proudly. "I told you there was nothing to fear." "Ah! Lubin." she laughed, "I can fly higher than you?I can fly much higher than you." Then she kissed him. and he kissed Her, not in the least envious, and they went out and shared their three pennies in chocolates. Night came, and the circus was full. The two children eagerly and joyfully looked forward to the limelight ascent that was to conclude the fairy ballet. They danced in the tlance, they sang lustily in the choris, and then as a hundred other children were whirling round them, they took their places in the centre ' of the arena, while the lines were rirooDed from the slit in the root. through which the limelight flashed. The Dand played something dreamy, the crowds of fairies parted', anl Lubin commenced to ascend amidst the plaudits of the audience. How handsome he looked with his smiling face and gracefully posed limbs! The people were delighted. Babette was delighted. She called out in spite of herself: Oh, Lubii:, I | s can fly higher thau that!" Then ha disappeared through the slit in tho roof and already her little legs were ten fet from the ground. Up, up, up she went. The crowd cheered, and she smiled and bowed and waved her baby arms, while her heart seemed too big for her body to hold it. "I'm coming, Lubin," she shouted, as she neared the slit in the roof, and saw the f.ce of her little sweetheart looking down and smiling and proud of her. "But I flew higher thau you this morning, dear, and " Snap! The wires had broken. Crash! A little bundle of quivering humanity and bloodstained gauze lay throbbing in the dust of the arena. The ringmaster and his attendants crowded around her. He tried to lift her, but she screamed out. and some body said, "Let her be! Let her be! You can't mend her!" Then the pale faced public went j away. Lubin was by lier side, crying over his little sweetheart. He laid his hand near her; he would not touch her for fear of causing her pain. She turned her eyes toward him. "I didn't fly so high as you tonight, dear Lubin," she whispered, "but I'll try and do better next time." Then she fell asleep. ? Miriam Highes, in Spokane Spokesman. SHOOS BEARS WITH LANTERNS. Wily West Virginian Protects Sheep by Hanging Out Lights. In the Williams River country of West Virginia the bears are greatly on the increase. There is a blue grass settlement about the extreme head of the river, says Recreation, which ha3 all but been driven out of the sheep business by bears. On the Black Mountain run one man claimed to bave identified the signs of 117 bears in one day's hunt. That seems a good many bears, but I have hunted and fished so long and told about my adventures at so many campfires that I cannot conn n vf h i n o* OIO Lea LI J UCUJ O.LAJ buiu^. Nevertheless, every now and theu a hunter runs upon a bear and kills, it. Premeditated killing of bears is rarely known, as this wisest of the forest animals knows well how to avoid men. A rabbit is courageous compared to a black bear. This I shows the superior intelligence of Bruin. A'- ut twenty years ago an unarmed fisherman killed a bear with a large stone at the Red Hole. He was resting at the top of a precipitous bank of Mauch Chunk shale when a bear, chased by dogs, came into the river and passed at the foot of the bank. The man cast a large stone down upon it and stunned it so that he was able to kill it. It was a twoyear-old. The occurrence is well au| thenticated. The sheep killers are generally the biggest bears of them all and are very wise. They never enter a field without first making a complete circuit to see if a man has crossed the fence. If he lias they withdraw One sheep raiser found that hanging a half dozen lighted lanterns about his farm caused the bears to leave hi3 flock severely alone. A Domestic Tyrant. "If burglars mean to burgle, I believe they'll burgle." said Miss Lucilla. "Bolts won't keep them out and dogs, won't drive them away. Anyhow, Lois and I aren't timid, and we've decided not to keep a dog again. "Oh, yes: we like dogs; and poor Bounce was an unusually intelligent animal. He was a trifle oversized for a cocker?forty pounds really is excessive?but he was a beautiful creature, too. We were very fond of him. "He always slept just outside our bedroom door. But he was rheumatic occasionally, and one night he couldn't get up the stairs, he was so stiff. So we put him to bed on the rug at the foot, instead; but as soon as we went up, lie puiuieu uia uuas <x\. i the ceiling and began to howl. Lois ! was convalescing from tonsilitis, and j I was run down that spring, and there was sickness next door; and Bounce was a most determined dog. We knew he wouldn't stop. " 'Let's carry him^up.' said Lois at last. 'You take one end of the rug and I'll take the other, and we'll carry him between U3.' ' Bounce didn't understand, and at the first lift he went out with a yelp. But we coaxed him back, and presently he caught the idea. He sat up I straight, perfectly quiet, with his | tongue lolling and an air of supreme , self-satisfaction, while we toted him up that long flight of stairs, stagger- j ing at every step! Lois was so ex- i i hausted she dropped her end at the j I top. and let him roll out. | "Next night, when bedtime came, j he planted himself on the middle of the rug again, gave a short bark, lolled his tongue impudently, and complacently waited for the bearers I to lift up his lordship's palanquin! | We had to do it, too; he would howl, j | or we must hoist?and hoist we did. ' For thres nights running we carried that forty-pound dog up those stairs, and then the weather changed and his joints limbered, and he kindly excused us from duty. By that time, though, the neighbors had somehow found out. and?well, perhaps wa ought to have been pleased at affording innocent amusement to a whole town, but I can't truthfully say that we were. ' Bounce was a remarkably intelligent dog?remarkably intelligent! But Lois and I agree that, now he's gone, if we have to choose between burglars and another such protector, we'll take burglars."?Youth's Companion. A Little Vague. A Boston lady seeking summer board on a farm saw an advertisement giving a description of about such a place as she wanted, and sent a letter of inquiry.

The popularityandusefulness of folding beds have long beou established. Until recently this novelty was applied to wooden beds only, but the univers-' al demand for iron and brass beds has led a Detroit inventor to devise the folding iron bed shown here.

The head and foot of the bed are made by lazy tongs, which move toward aud away from each other iu folding and unfolaing the bed.

At. tachmemts are provided for locking , and unlocking the bed when it is iu either position. Poisonous Ecru. Certain eggs are poisonous, and among them are toe kinds which are commonly eaten by human beings, namely, the hen's egg and the duck's egg.. Recent investigations made by a French chemist have demonstrated the ?act that the yolk of many eggs contain poison enough to kill small crefttures^ if administered in the form of j Injections under the skin. The ordinary J hen's egg of the breakfast table is capable of causing this result. The duck's egg is still more poisonous1, while the turtle's egg takes first place. Even the white of the turtle's egg is poisonous. Be it noted that the toxic action occurs only when the egg is used for what medical men call subcutaneous Injections; tli'ire is no need to be ularined concerning the eating of these natural products, says I-Iome Notes. The process of digestion nullifies any 1 noxious effects which these useful dietary accessories may have when f taken into the system iu any other 1 way. The Doe Never Knew.

Former Officials of Road Also Convicted and Fined. Chicago, 111.?Judge Landis in the United States District Court sentenced the Chicago and Alton Railway Company, which was recently convicted o" granting illegal rebates fit Kansas City, to pay a fine ol $20,000 on each of two counts, or a | total of $<0,000. | John Faithorn and Fred A. Wann, former officials of the road, who were also convicted, were sentenced to pay a fine of $5000 each on two counts, or a total of $10,000. The defendants were fined on two ?ou:its of an indictment containing ten counts. The specific charge on which they were convicted was that they had given to the Schw?.rzschild k Sulzberger Company a rebate of $1 per car on all shipments from the Kansas City plant of the packt * ? rr AAmnonir TVio /lafonHonfa claimed that the charge was made against them by the packing company which had the right to levy it because it owned the track near the plant, and therefore had the right to charge the railroad for trackage. Judge Landis in his instructions practically directed., the jury to bring in a verdict of guilty. After the verdict had been rendered, the attorneys for the railroad and for the individual members asked time to show that the rebate was not a secret matter. The attorneys for the railroad said that they had not been able to bring witnesses into court to testify because the wifriesses feared prosecution. The judge, in passing sentence, said that he could see no extenuating circumstances in the granting of the rebates. After the entering of the sentence the defendants gave notice i of appeal. The fine inflicted by Judge Landis is identical with that imposed on {.he Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad in a similar case by Judge Bethea in the United States Circuit Court. In the United States District Court in Kansas City, on June 22, Judge Smith McPherson passed sentence upon seven defendants convicted of making concessions and accepting and conspiring to accept rebates on shipments. Judgments in the nature [ of fines were assessed, in the packers' cases, as follows: Swift & Co, $15,000; Cudahy Packing Company, SI5,000; Armour Packing Company, S15.000; Nelson Morris & Co.. $15,000; Chicago. Burlington and Quincy Railway, $15,000. George L. Thomas, of New York, was fined $6000, and sentenced to four months, in the penitentiary. L. B.

Bringas, a millionaire, of Guayamas, Mexico, passed through El Paso on his way 1:0 Europe, seeking relief from leprosy, the disease that is 0at~' ing away his life. He has a family and is wealthy, but is dying gradually and knows it. To prolong this living death as long as be can he is now seeking the European specialists, those of his own country having failed to help him. To get to Vera Cruz, where he will take a European steamer, he had to pass through Arizona and New Mexico, re-entering his own country here. To do this he made special arrangements with the Marine Hospital service, representatives of which traveled on his train and guarded him as he passed through the United States.
