He Agured on the distance Of the stars up in the sky: He figured on our planet's And when this earth will He figured on the railways And the trusts with patient skillBut he never found the errors In his monthly grocery bill.

-Washington Stan "When Wits Won. The little clock on the mantel had Chimed the hour of four, when Beth Day became suddenly aware of 8 strange, distant roar, which grew momentardly louder. She passed Into the kitchen and opened the outer door. All day 1 the skies had been threatening, with sullen, gray-colored clouds banked in the west. in one angry somber-looking mass.

The wind had risen-it was rising more and more; it moaned around the corners of the house, blenddng with that distant, muffled roar, the source of which Beth could not understand. As she stood in the kitchen doorway, braving the keen air, her brother Jack came flying up the south drive. His head was bent, his warm cap powdered thick with snow flakes. As he reached the door. he drew one arm around his sister's waist, pulled her into the kitchen, and slammed the door, setting his back against it.

At that very moment the force of the storm broke upon them. The house shook in the blast; the air was dense with whirling snow. Through the window's the terrifled eyes of the children saw nothing except one swirling blur of white. The door was wrenched back by the terrific wind; all Jack's young strength could hardly close it again and turn the key in the shaking lock and slip the bolt. "A close shave, Beth," he said, his voice a trifle unsteady.

"I ran every step of the from school-a good mile--and just made it. Where would I have been if the storm had struck five minutes sooner? Look, Beth, look! there is nothing nothing but drifting snow in all the world outside. Everything is swallowed up. Not even the well-curb ds to be seen." Beth wrung her hands in sudden, acute distress. "Uncle Will went to town to pay off the mortgage," she a said wildly.

"He rode Black Joe. He has been gone two hours. Oh, Jack, what if he started home again in the teeth of the storm? That lonely stretch of road across the prairie! He will be lost!" Tears of affright stopped further, epeech. Jack's bright young face clouded with anxiety. He was only 14, but he felt all a man's responsibility resting on his slight shoulders as he peered forth into the storm.

"Oh, yes! It was do the last day of he have to go?" grace, and the money for the corn was paid into the bank yesterday afternoon. The (arm is safe now, safe for and me, if anything happens to you him, Uncle Will said as he rode away." Tears stood in her eyes and her voice choked with sobs. She was only 16. For the last year she and her orphan brother had learned to love their big. bluff, bachelor Uncle Will, who had offered them a home on his Nebraska farm.

Beth was the housekeeper and her' uncle's confidant in business matveron, what is "How to be can done, Uncle Jack?" Will-how she again. could anybody-reach us in this storm? He will lose his bearings completely. He might wander round and round within a few feet of the door and never And it," sobbed the girl. 'A horse surely ought to find his way home," said Jack, anxiously, as he again took his station at the old south but kitchen window. "Black Joe is he is smart.

If Uncle WIll gives him his own way, he ought to find the stable. Beth, is there a rope about the house-a long one? I might try to get as far as the stable, and see if they are there, and throw down some feed for the stock. The poor cattle will never get home. They will suffer tonight, I'm afraid." "There is the clothesline," said his sister, "but I fear short. We can try it after supper, You must have some hot coffee if you are going, out into the storm.

I am afraid you cannot stand on your feet against this wind." But when the supper had been eaten, they got the clothesline and lengthened it with stout strips of denim from some old overalls. Jack tied one end around his waist, and taking a lighted lantern, went bravely forth into the storm. The great barn and the stock sheds stood south of the house, nearly a quarter of a mile. Jack had to fight the wind all the way. He groped his way along the side of the fence, and then by means of a line of small cedars, until he reached the gate of the corral.

Not an inch of the way was visible, for it had grown rapidly dark, and the snow was falling so thick and fast that the air was like one, moving. muffling, terrible snowbank. He stumbled into huge drifts, fell and rose, only to fall again and yet again. while the wind stung his face, nipped his ears, and seemed to All. his eyes, even beneath the protecting lids which he kept closed.

Blindly the slight, boyish figure fought its way through the fearful storm. It seemed to Beth that she waited hours, kneeling on the floor close to the kitohen door, the end of the rope In her Again and again the opened the door, only to be met by the wild storm of wind and snow. When Jack finally staggered against the door, having made the return trip with much greater facility by fastening his end of the rope to the gate of the corral, the relief was so great that the overwrought nerves of the girl gave way, and she fainted. A dash of cold water brought her to. Jack had reached the barn in safety, but found no trace of Black Joe and his rider.

But he had a plan, which he eagerly proceeded to unfold. "There's a small strawstack at the east end of the corral," he said. "It has a rack built around it to keep the stock from scattering it, you remember, and the rack is of green willow saplings nailed firm. If you can help me make line enough to reach that stack--I shall have to grope and grovel like a mole to do it I will try to set It afire. If Uncle Will and Joe are anywhere close, they will see it and make for it." "But the storm-the snow!" objected Beth, aghast at the daring project.

"You could not light It, brother: It would not burn if you did. It must be one mass of snow by this time." "It can be done," insisted her brother, stoutly. 'Anyway, it's worth trying, and it's the only hope. See, Beth, I will take this little covered tin pall, half All It with ashes, and then put in some live coals from the stove. I will take a bottle of coal oil in my pocket.

We must hurry! No time to lose." This time two stout sheets were torn up for a line, which Jack colled around his waist, He tied the end of his first cable to a post by the door, and, taking the bucket of coals, plunged forth once more. Another slow half hour went by. Beth. watched the south kitchen window for the first gleam of Jack's beacon-fire. Despair clutched at her heart as the moments crept along.

Had she lost brother. as well as uncle? Half frantic with surprise, her wild eyes stared hopelessly forth alt the white blur of the storm. At length her patience was awarded. slow slow grew In the southeast, deepened, mounted and fought with the spirit of the storm. Plain- visible from the window.

His story was that he had left town just before the storm broke, and had traversed perhaps half the distance, when he lost his bearings. For nearly three hours he and his horse had wandered about in a circle, how wide he could not tell.

Half-frozen, and all but exhausted with the buffetings of wind and snow he, had, as a forlorn hope, given his horse free reln. Suddenly a dull light appeared, scarce a rod distant. He turned toward it fearing the house might be on fire, and discovered his nephew and the burning stack. "I had a time that stack to burn," said the was a mass getting, of snow, of course just like a huge drift. I managed to scrape off the side opposite the wind, and burrowed a hole in the straw.

I did it by feeling, for I couldn't see a wink. The lantern was no good. Then I uncorked the oll, poured it into the hole, and dropped the Are in on it. It blazed in my face before I could dodge, but I was snowclad, and it didn't hurt. In a moment the whole thing was on.

"Oh, barns!" cried Beth, scornfully. "Who cares for barns! I'd Durn a dozen barns for lanterns to gulde Uncle Will home." She had helped him off with his overcoat and opened the oven door of the kitchen stove for him to warm his half frozen feet. Uncle Will laughed. "Well, chicken, I suppose you think we could build another, now that the mortgage is paid off.

But I'm glad we don't have to, for the father of a promising family of youngsters has a lot of "The cows were in the stock pen, Beth, bellowing with cold and fright. I got them all into the barn and threw down some feel. They'll be all right if this storm holds for two days." It was a happy family that sat down to Beth's hot, savory supper a half hour later. To be safe and warm and together again served to show them how precious they were to one another. -Little Chronicle.

Forage. Teddy's First Pockets. "I want pockets in my new pants," said Teddy. "You are too little," said mamma. "Please, mamma!" Teddy pleaded.

"Pockets go with pants. All the big boys have them." "Well," mamma replied, "I suppose you must have them. Yes, I will put some in." "Nonsense!" exclaimed Aunt Emily. "Clara, don't mean to let that baby have pockets? He will have them full of rubbish and in a dreadful condition all the time. He's too little for trousers, to say nothing of pockets." But mamma put the pockets in, and Ted was happy.

He went round with his hands in those little snuggeries, feeling very proud and grown-up, and trying to whistle; and by and by he began to put things into them. "If I had the darning-cotton, I would mend the said grandma, "but it isn't in the basket." "Here it 1s," said Teddy, taking a little black ball out of his right pocket. "I found it behind the door, grandma. I didn't know it was darn-cotton; thought it was just string." "You didn't happen to find my pencil, did you" asked Sister Sue. "I lost It yesterday, and I can't find It anywhere." said Teddy.

"It was in the waste basket. I picked it out and put It in my pocket. I didn't know it was yours, Susie," he sald, as he passed it to her, Pretty soon mamma could not find her thimble. "I had it this morning," she said, "and all at once I missed it. I am sorry, for it was the one you gave me, Emily." "Here it is," said Teddy.

"I found It down in the pansy bed. I meant to give it to you, but I forgot." "It must have fallen off the window sill," said mamma. "I remember now; I was sitting by the garden That afternoon Sister Mary asked if anybody had seen a button, for she had lost one off her blue dress; Tom inquired if anybody had run across his Jack-knife, which he was using at noon and mislaid; Johnny needed a piece of string in a hurry; and grandpa could not find a little nail. All these things Teddy produced as they were wanted. "I take It all back, Ted," said Aunt Emily, laughing.

"Your pockets certainly are the most useful ones in the family. You don't happen to have box of chocolates, do you?" "No," Teddy replied soberly, "but I have some candy that lan't chocolate. Mr. Smith gave it to me. It's taffy." Aunt Emily laughed again.

"'There, Clara," she said, "I told you Companion. A Spring Airing.
