our tail- suppose you go up 'to the house and ask Mrs. Keppy for a bit of red ribbon or tape or Sammy darted, 'away among the trees, dodged under the fence and made a detour through the. hayfield. Professor Irving whistled over his task, and when it was completed he threw himself back, on the grass and, pipe' in mouth, dreamily watched the clouds. "I have gotted a flyaway, daddy," an nounced Sammy's voice.

Professor Irving sat up, yawned, and in the very act paused with his mouth wide open. He stared at the trophy in Sammy's grimy hand. "What is that?" he thundered at last. "It's a. pretty curl er, flyaway, daddy." "Where did you get it?" sternly.

"I found it," evasively. "Where?" "Garden!" all the amazing things! commented his father, taking the long silken curl that clung to his fingers in the most annoying manner. 1 He smiled as he folded the curl carefully and tucked it into his note-hook. "Sir!" Here was a peppery tempered voice indeed. The professor turned mild eyes upon fhe speaker.

She had advanced upon them from behind the trees.and she was a veritable tioldilocks, albeit her Iiair was a shower of redolden curls that hung far below her waist." She wore a faded lawn frock, and about her neck was tied a huge bath towel. Professor Irving had struggled to his feet, his puzzled face partaking of the embarrassment that clouded his son's. "What do you mean?" iie asked. "What has Sammy done?" "That!" she pointed tragically to the curl. Slowly Sammy's father opened the book, took out the dainty silken curl and regarded it with bewildered eyes.

"My curl, if you please!" she demanded haughtily. "I am very sorry for what Sammy has done," said the professor gently; "You see, we have been making-a kite, and I sent him up to ask my housekeeper for a bit of ribbon for the end of the tail we needed a- gay He brought this back. He said he found it in the garden." i- "Sammy found it in the garden, but not in his own garden," said the girl, with eyes suddenly brimming with laughter. "I had been washing my hair and was drying it in the rectory I was sitting on the grass, sewing, when suddenly I missed my scissors. Just as I- turned to search for them I felt a tug and heard a snipping sound and Sammy was running away with one of my curls!" Sammy bawled lustily and burrowed his head under his father's arm.

"Never mind, Sammy," she said at last. "I am sure you didn't mean to dp a naughty thing. If you will come with me will find you a might rib-bon? of a flyaway." Sammy "smiled at Goldilocks and tucked his hand in hers. "1 rwill send him home soon' she Then she turned and added rector's niece, Miss Allen." She went away with when the two had disappeared among ihe trees "the professor still stood there staring after them, with the red-gold curl twining around his fingers, as the image of its owner was entwining itself about his heart. And the professor neglected to return that curl to Rose Allen.

In fact, he kept it always. "For," said he afterward, "a man may keep a curl of his wife's hair!" "Even if he doesn't use it as a fly away," added Rose, as she hugged little Sammy.

Mr. Dearborn says the English sparrow reduces the number of some of our most useful and attractive native birdsrsuch as bluebirds, house wrens, purple martins tree swallows," cliff swallows and barn swallows, by destroying their eggs and young and by usurping nesting- places.

It attacks the wren, redeyed vireo, catbird and mocking bird; causing them to desert parks and shady streets of towns. Unlike our native birds, whose place it usurps, it has no song, but.

It was formerly the custom to obtain the "funds to maintain principal thoroughfares by collecting a toll from those using them. Pikes or gates wefe set across the roads by the keeper or toll-collector To prevent people who traveled his road from passing without paying the toll he was armed with a pike, a long-handled stick with a sharp iron head. This was put across as a barrier, and when the toll was paid It -was turned aside to permit the carriage or wagon to pass on Itsr way. Hence the name turnpike.

Headquarters for TO GET $3 A VEEK FOR EiCHT YEARS Frank Shade Awarded Compensation From Ash Grove Lime and Port-' land Cement Company. Erie, Feb. 17. A jury in district court decided that Frank Shade should receive $3 a week for eight years from the Ash Grove Lime and Portland Cement Company as compensation for injuries which he received while working at the company's cement plant at Chanute.

Mr. Shade asked that he be given judgment on the basis that his disabilities decreased his earning capacity eight-ninths. He sued under the provisions of the workmen's compensation act. It was the first case of the kind ever tried in this county. 7 The jury was discharged yesterday, having' disposed of all the business that will come before it this term.

LONDON HAS A BID FRAID HOLE READY Its People Will Be Permitted to Seek Shelter in Subways in Case of Bombardment. London, Feb. 17. Plans have been completed- to permit London's vast floating population to find shel ter in the underground railway tubes in the event of hostile attack. The city has hundreds of miles of subways, affording an ideal place of safely from bomb or shell fire.

The availability of the subways was first called to the attention of the authorities some weeks ago by an enterprising citizen. Since that time detailed arrangements have been made for the regulation of traf fic if a raid comes. Special telephones have beeninstalled throughout the system: all employes have been instructed just how to act, and everything has been organized to prevent panic. Women and children will receive preference, but all those who seek shelter majT do so without purchasing a ticket. In case of a prolonged attack it is suggested that subway traffic be sus pended entirely and the system converted into a stronghold superior to the forts of feudal times.
