Another Good Story For Our Readers Since we published "The Hol low of Her Hand" last spring a great many of our readers have asked us to give them another good story in The Sentinel. We have been looking around for another good one, and at last we believe we have found the very story which will delight our readers. "The Trey O'Hearts" is the name of the story which we.will begin publishing in The Sentinel in a few weeks. This is a high price story and has not yet been printed in book form, being one of the very newest as well as best. As the nights get longer there will be more time for reading, and we are-going to give our readers the best.. Look for the first installment in a few weeks. Liberty U. D. C.

VISIT TO SPIDER'S JA There Was the Sandman, Jumping Laughing Just as F Neither Johnnie nor Jessie coul tell just when the Sandman came int the sitting room the next night, so course they did not know how b came. Perhaps it was down the chin ney and perhaps it was through tb window or the door, but, anywa: there he was, jumping up and dow on the corner of the library table an laughing just as hard as ever b could. He waved his hand to Jessi and as soon as he could stop hi laughing long enough to speak b jumped clear across from the table t the arm of the big chair in front c the fire place, and began to tell th Twins all about the joke he ha played on.a mean old wasp that aftei noon. He told them that the wasp ha tried to bite him and he htd throw the old wasp into the spider's jail, an there he was this very minute, all tie up with a lot of rope. Wasn't tha funny? Of course Mother Dear was sittin in the big chair with her dear litti Twins; but she did not see the Sant man, because he does not let growr ~up folks see him, and he talks so tha only the children can hear. When th Sandman asked the Twins to go for little walk and see the wasp in th jail they were very glad to go, an Mother Dear thought they had onI gone to sleep. So they put on the two little cap with the tiny silver bells on the ve;' tip top, and then they were no bigge than the Sandman. When they wer all ready the Sandman put one fog in his pocket and juznped up an' down on the other, all t~fe time sayin; "Osky Wow Wow, Skinny Wow Wow, and in a minute all three of ther were way out in the barn where Dad dy kept the horse and the cow. The: stopped over in one corner an' there they saw a most tremendou spider web all made out of silve threads. It looked as big as a circu tent, and every thread seemed like big rope of silver, and the ropes wer all1 covered with things like hook! having very sharp points. Something all wrapped. up with th silver ropes was making an awfu noise over in one corner of the spide web. It looked almost as large as: big dog and it buzzed very loud an' tried to bito the ropes. The Sandma: laughed again when he heard this lous noise, and he walked over and poke< the animal with a little stick. My ow it did buzz and wiggle.. "That Is the wasp that tried to biti me this morning," said the Sandmari "He is a cross rascal and I am jus going to have the spider keep him tied up there all night, so that he wil remember not to bite anybody afte this." Jessie was~sure that she aid no like spiders, so she moved around be ind the Sandman, and looked care fully about her. "I do not see any spider here," shi said, and I do not believe that shi wanted to see one either, do you? "He is taking a little nap way bac1 at the end of that long tunnel you se< in the middle of his web," replied thi Sandman. "I could bring him out heri very quickly if I were to pull one o those silver ropes, but I would rathe let him sleep until he has some wor: to do. Suppose we go and try to fin a robber fly and then chase him u here for the spider to put in jail." Of course the Twins thought tha would be lots of fun, so away the: went, out back of the barn, t a great big pile of dirty stra' and pretty soon they came to a sor of opening down in it. The Sanc man leaned over this hole an listened, and so did the Twins. Wa down deep they heard a funny sort c The Inqu MEWONlMRS WI'AT IT IS' Try An Advertisei Yes, Yes!

He had a great long tonguE f almost as long as a piece of garde 8 hose, and he kept it rolled up in hi i mouth Just like your Daddy rolls u: his hose. He had two great big eye i that stuck out on the sides of his hea 2 as big as rubber balls, and each ey I had hundreds and hundreds of litt1 i eyes all over it, so that he could se t better. That is why it is so hard fo you to catch a fly with your hands. H Scan see behiid him as well as h Scan see in front, and he can jump ani - fly away quicker than a wink. Besides the funny tongue and th tfunny eyes, this fly had two of- the loi Bliest wings, that you could see righ Bthrough, and they were color'ed jus Blike the rainbow.

The fly jumped up into th ; air as soon as he~ heard about th - sugar and flew out to the barn an - the Twins and the Sandman went rigt after him to see the fun.

"What?" 'rd hire out for a coachman." "You'd have to make It a chauffeur. There are no coachmen any more." "There are a few. I have no fancy for a machine, but I love a horse." "If there were any young women in the family there'd be one of these se cret marriages that we see so often mentioned in the newspapers, follow ed by the customary annulment or di vorce." "Oh, no, there wouldn't!" "I' bet you there would." "How could we settle such a bet?" "By putting the matter to practice. Advertise for a position and when you I find one with a pretty girl in the fam I fly take it. I'll bet you a hundred that within three months you marry the 3 girL" . "That would be interesting, wouldn't it?" said Atwood thoughtfully. t The upshot of this bit of dialogue was that Atwood advertised as sug gested and, after answering several In vitations to call and present creden tials, at last found a place where there was the required pretty girl. His cre dentials were wanting, but fortunately he was able to imitate the Irish brogue and claimed to have just come -over from the green isle, where he had been chiefshostler for Sir Charles O'Malley. Since his employer was not versed In literature he did not appreciate the ab surdity. The bet stood $500 even that within Sthree months Atwood would be at least engaged to Miss Bertha Fosdlck, Sdaughter of his employer; $500 more that he would marry her, and $500 more that he would run away with her. It would seem that Colby should have received odds on such a wager, and If be had been a real coachman twenty to one would not have been enough. But Frank Atwood was a very at tractive young fellow and had a smilf that no girl could resist. Miss Fos dick was but seventeen, and It was predicted that when the next year her SIntroduction to society should take 'place she would prove a heart smasher. 1Why parents will allow their daugh ters to pass under the influence of their drivers Is a mystery. From fifteen to twenty is an Irresponsible age for a Sgirl, and In nine cases out of ten where the sexes are thrown together without restraint, especially where they are 1young, amatch will be the result. At any rate, Miss Fosdick, being permit. ted to go out alone driven by the hand some coachman, St once fell under her tInfluence. Atwood, being full of the Old Nick, told her that he was a young er son of an Irish baronet; that, the f amily had been Impoverished by the loss of a suit In court and he had been obliged to shift for himself. He~ had come to America, got stranded and, having always been used to horses, had taken up their handling as a vocation. BQuite likely some of the low born ~'drivers who steal the daughters of their employers tell some such yarn as this. Atwood's conscience did not trou ble him because he was an American gentleman with a future, and In his own. propria persona an excellent match for the young lady. But It served to enlist her sympathies for him, and sympathy Is akin to love. She wish ed to inform her father of what the cabman had told her, but Colby, know ing that such a story going to his employer would result in his being Im mediately fired, refused permission. And so the game went on, the hand some coachman driving the pretty Miss Fosdick every pleasant afternoon, and since It was not as pleasant for her to have him perched on the box so far above her she soon came to select a cart to ride in, so that he might sit beside her. Occasionally they would meet some of Atwood's friends, who would stare at mim, wondering how any two men could so closely resemble each other as the handsome clubman and this liverned coachman. But Frank would keep his eyes on his horses and brazen It out. On one occasion they met Colby driving with a parry of friends, and although Ned, according to agreement, did not give the coach man away, the ordeal was trying. The outcome of the wager was a compromise. One day Frank Atwood appeared at 'the club (not in livery) and sat down to lunch with his friend Colby. "Ned," be said, "what was Intended for a lark has turned out seriously. I am going to propose for the hand of Miss Bertha Fosdick and I don't wish the girl I love to be the subject of a bet I propose that we call the wager off." Atwood never went back to the Fos dicks in livery. He wrote a long let ter to Mr. Fosdick In which he told as much of the truth.-it 'would do to tell, gave him re Arences and asked permission to applyi to his daughter for her hand. It required some t mne for Mr. Fos dick to be convince9f that there was not something wrong, about the appli cant, but after dligdut inquiry he be came satisfied that Frak Atwood's so .cal postion was ex lent and his in come ample to su rt Miss Bertha in the style to twhI she had been accus tomed.
