Jexmie Bartlets father and moth er iiad been StxMexily called away for the night to Graysford, -where Mrs. Bartlett's sister was lying se rioosry ilL and Jennie was left to keep the toilgate alone. It was not a dimcult task, for scarcely any one traveled over the Brrington road after 9 o'clock, and those who did passed through the open gate with owfc paying toDL Bet even if the task had bean harder, Jennie would have been eqeal to it. She had lived at the tciigate ever since she was a baby, and knew perfectly well what to charge and how to give the proper change indeed she often took toll for her father when he was at home, and people passing through wtmkl woader how to bright and pretty a girl could grow up in so lonesome a place. Jermie, however, did not mind the kraesomeness. Her dearest wish was to go to a boarding school, bet as kig as she was at home it mattered iKtle t her that Barrington was three miles off on the one hand and Weycester ten miles on the other, and that there was scarcely a house between. She even liked the soli tode, was almost sorry when the telephone eoonecsLcg Barring toa with Weyeester made a eonnee tioa by the way with the toll gate. Btifare that they seemed to be out of the world, and the people coming tbroagh the gate were like visitors from another sphere. Now the fre quent ringing of the call bell re minded her that civilization was not so far distant after alL Oa this par ticular night there was not liable to be even the usual number of pass ersby. Looking out of the door about 9 o'clock. Jennie coo Id hardly see more than 100 feet either up or down the road. It would be a bad night, she thought, for the gate to swing shut. Anybody coming alone might run into it without warning. Por that matter, people might run into the posts on either side. So phe hang a lantern oa one past to pre sent this accident, end, g jing into the house, locked the door and went $o bed. The fact that she wsb alone in the house did not disturb her ia the least, and in a zaiaete or two ghe was fast askjep. Fame time in the night she was suddenly awakened by the ringing of the telephone belL She listened confusedly to hear if it would ring three times, which was the tollgate signal. If it rang oftener, it was to call up some of the other people on the same wire. Two of the coHee a"ops she knew were in Weyeester, the third and fourth were in the Barrinsrton bank, the fifth in the tannery and the sixth in the central oiSee at Barrragwm, In the bewil derment Jennie could not determine at first how many times the bell did ring, but at last she decided it was six the call for the Barrington cen tral office. That did not menu the toilgase, of course, aad Jennie pre pared to turn over for another nap when a sudden thoeght aroused her. v It was certainly after midnight, an& the central office did not keep $ek later than 12 o'clock. The bank, too, was shut up, and so was the tannery oa the whole line she jras probably the only person who coQid hear the heSL What if it should be something important i fa deed it would hardly ling at tha? time of night unless it were impor taut. Quickly jumping out of bed, she ran to the instrument, put the receiv er to her ear, and called through, the transmitter: "Hello! Eea' A voice came back to her, s dis tia&q that it seemed "almost ' in' the same room, saying ; t'HeUo ! Is that the central Sets?1 Piie tone was quick and sharp, and Jennie felt sure that something must have haffxaned. " sir:' she called, "It's the tfiihraie, Jennie Bartiett." "'""ell yotir father to come here immediately the voice said. "It's very important. " Jennie felt sinking at her heart. "Father's away," she said, "and la here alone." She heard the voice exclaim some thins: in an impatient tone, and then the sound of two or three people talking, as though there was some doubt as to what could be domi. "Can I do anything? she inqtnr fd, almost hoping that she coshi not. Another conversation followed, IThich Jennie overheard; the speak ers were no doubt nearer the tele phone. "Why qo you want to let them get into Barrrngton at aEJ" the voice asked. "Why not stop them af the tailgate?" MTo be sure" said another. "If thy get past the gate as likely as not they'll turn down the Biverton road, and get Allen off the track. They can't turn off before they 1 reach, tne gate, vf e are sure of them as far as that" "Tell the irrri" And Jennie caught only a confusion of sounds. Presently she heard another "Hel lo!" "Hello!" she responded. "The Wevcester bank has been robbed, " the voice went on hurried ly, "by two men who are in a spring cart, drawn by a white horse. They nave driven toward Barrington, with Mr. Allen and two constables ! in pursuit, but the thieves have half an hour's start. You must" Here the voices stopped suddenly and completely. Even the hum of electricity was cut off. It was in vain that she rang the bell and call ed "Hello I" sb one answered. Jen nie felt once more the old sense that she was out of the world Wevcester seemed all at once hundreds of miles awav. But what was it that she must do i Why had not the conneo tkn lasted a minute longer, when her instructions would have been complete ? When were the robbers expected? Jennie made a little calculation. If there had been some 30 minutes before any one started in pursuit, that would carry them, by fast driv ing, half wav to the toll irate. If ten minutes had gone by before the tel ephone bell had rung, she might ex pect them within half an hour. What was she to do ? The conversation which she had overheard came to her mind. "Stop them at the tolfeate," one of the voices had said. Very likely they would have told her what to do if the telephone had kept on. But how could a little girl arrest two armed and desperate men J By this time she began to feel be wildered. She could not go to bed with this responsibility upon her, even though she did not know how to meet it; so, dressing herself, she opened the front door and looked and listened. The night was darker than ever. A littlv space about the gate was lit up by the warning lantern. It would pot help in stopping burglars, she suddenly thought, to illuminate their way; so, going over to the light, she blew it out, leaving the road in tot?il darkness. That was at least one step toward the desired ead. All at once she thought of the gate. "now stupid of me!" she said to herself. "Why didn't I think of that before.'" The gate was fastened back against the front of the house, but in a moment she had unhooked it and swung it round, until it stretched completely across the road. There was only a latch upon it, and going into the house shebroughrfroca one place a padlock and another a chain, with which she fastened the gate so securely that no ordinary strength could force it open. '"They can't get through that,'' she said to herself, "and there isn any way of getting round it," Thee, she went into the house, locked and bolted the door, pushed a heavy chest of drawers against it, fastened all the windows, pulled down the blinds and waited in the dark for the sound of wheels. It was not long before the sound came, but to Jennie every minute seemed an hour, while every rustling leaf outside sounded like a man's stealthy tread. When at last" she hard the robbers coming, far up the road, her heart stood still, Nearer and nearer they came. Would they see the gate? she won dered. The horse kept on; there was a sudden exclamation outside, a crash as though something had come into collision with the gate, the sound of splintering wood, and the noise of a pluagmg horse, Jemrie did not ven ture to movie. She dared not go to the window, but sat in the, middle of the room shaking with fear and listening for what would happen next. .Presently steps sounueu oa the pavement outside, and in a mo ment there was a rap at the door. Jennie remained perfectly quiet, though her hajrt beat so loud that she thought they must hear it out skia. Ia a moment the knocking ceased. "Folks asleep," she eoufci hear one of the men say. "Asleep or dead or run away," he other man growled. "Shall we try the window?" "Yes." Jennie trembled all over, but the sash, when tried, held firm. "Oh. come on!" exclaimed the companion. "Don't let us waste time. We can splice the shafts our sleeves with the halter. ' They moved off again and Jennie breathed more freely. Jf the shafts were broken, it would fake some time- to mend them, and the pursuing party might yet arrive in time. Mr. Allen, whom Jennie knew to be the manager at the Wevcester bank, had the fastest horse in the country, and ought to be able to make up at least ten min utes in ten miles. Por awhile there was quiet out side. The men were evidently work ing at the shafts, and only the trampling of a horse's feet gave any sign of life. Jennie began to get nervous, and to listen more intently for the pursuers' approach- By this time surely they could not be far off. Pinally, unable to sit still any longer, she crept up stairs, and, sit ting dqwn on the floor near the open window at the attie, ventured to look out. The white horse was distinctly visible as it stood by the gate, but the men, bending over the cart, were hardly more than an outline- Presently they seeraed to have fin ished, and, backrngrthe horse round, proceeded to put him in the shafts. Would the others never come I The gate was not yet opened, but J ennie began to fear that the burglars would not find that a serious diffi culty. Suddenly, from afar, came the sound of horses hoofs galloping as if for life. Did the men hear it too? Apparently they did. "Onen the eate," she heard one of them say. TTTs companion went to it and vainly tried to pull it open. "It's padlocked I" he exclaimed after a minute. "Pick it!" he cried. "They've put up a iob on us here. I knew we didn't cut that wire quick enough. It was a minute before the bur glar's skill could pick the lock, and by that time those in pursuit were dangerously near. "Open the gate!" shouted the first mnn, pulling back Ms horse to es- cape its sweep. The other pushed and the great bar swung slowly back. But before it had opened wide enough to let them through, the other vehicle had dashed in upon the scene. "Stand where vou are," Jennie heard Mr. Allen's voice call out, "or ril shoot you down. " What immediately followed Jen nie did not see, for, leaving the window, she rushed down stairs, lit the lantern, rolled back the bureau, unlocked the door and went out. When she had gained the road, the two burglars, captured and tied, were being guarded by the consta bles, while Mr. Allen was investi gating the contents of the spring cart, and making sure, as far as he could in the darkness, that all was right. At Jennie's approach he looked up. "Ah !" he said. "Are you the gate keeper's daughter? Just ask your father to step out here, please.'' Jennie smiled. "Father isn't at home, sir," she gaid, "Oh, well, your mother, then, or any one who keeps the gate. " "Mother isn't at home, either, sir. I'm keeping the gate." The gentleman looked at her in surprise. "You!" he exclaimed. "What made these fellows stop here?' "They broke their cart, sir." "How did they happen to do that.'" "The horse ran into the gate, sir. " "Was the gate shut?' "Yes, sir." "You don't usually shut the gate at nhrht?" "fo. sir; but I did tonight He looked at her for a further ex planation, and Jennie, who never liked to tell of her exploits, was, gbiiged to go on. "They telephoned me about it rrorn veycester, sir, she said priefly, Did they tell you to shut the gatef "Sb, sir; the telephone stopped before thev rot as far as that. These men cut the wire, and I had l to think for mvself what I should do." "And you thought of that?' "Yes," she answered modestly. "Well." he said, "you are a thoughtful little girl. You've saved me a great deal of money, and I shall never foreet it. " And he never did. The directors of the bank pasped a vote ot thanks at their next meet ing to Miss Jennie Bartlett "for her prompt and efficient services in ar resting the burglars who felonious ly entered the bank building and abstracted the valuable contents of its vaults, and, more than that, sent her a purse of money which enabled 'her that winter to carry out her long cherished plan of go ing to a Varding school It was a disagreeable experience for her, but Jennie wiB always date whatever success she had in the world from that night at the Barrington toll gate, Spara Moments. A Broil Pera Beggar. Several beggars in Pera own a large amount of property. One well known man has houses worth 10,000 lire, and yet is to be seen begging in filthy rags. A poor governess, who was very charitable, used to give him ? piaster twice a week. One day she missed a lira (pound) and thought she must have given it to the beggar by mistake. He had gone home for the day, so she fol lowed him to his house on the Tas ime. He received her graciously, looking like a pasha at least in his magnificent robes, "I never like to lose a good client,' he said, and gent for his bag of mk-mtrg "if there's a lira here, we shall find it."5 Sure enough, the lira was there. "Take it," he continued, and the poor girl, full of thanks, was hurry ing away when the beggar stopped her. "Wait a moment; you haven't given me the piaster." San Fran cisco Arconaut. In some parts of Scotland it is cus tomary for a bride to bring a dower to her husband, no matter how lit tle. One couple who had experienced the strife of wedded bliss for-some years were having the usual row, "hen the husband taunted the lady with the paucity of worldly goods with which she had endowed him. 4Awaf said he, "When ye ranr rit me, a' ye brought was a cask oT whisky an the auld Bible.

"Deity Wrought Splendors of the 2ugfr.t In Tne Fastnesses of Utah. jSbwhere on all God's earth are the phenomena of air and sky and light more marvelously gloriOUS and beautiful ftm-n in this eolden mountain region of the holy land ! and the American dead sea. It is a region of magnificent sunrises and sunsets, of rainbows and halos, mir- ! ages, aureoles and auroras, where : snow falls and lightnings ffnh amid all the glory of radiant sun light and moonlight and starlight, where ebon thunderclouds frown around one peak, while a dazzle of radiance bathes the lofty brow of its next neighbor. "So where is the nightly sky more deeply, purely blue or luminous with larger jewel like stars. It is a realm of meteor ic wonders, of prismatic miracles. Lunar rainbows, scarcely seen once in a lifetime in other lands, are fre quent occurrences here, but never even here never since the strange, resplendent token of Jehovah's cov enant with a dripping world first cast its luminous coronet around the frowning brow of Ararat has the heaven turned eye beheld a richer, rarer manifestation of the divine handiwork than that which feasted the gaze of a few late vigfl. keeping citizens of Zion last Saturday night. The display of celestial decorative taste and genius was transcendently glorious and sublime. Omnipotence itself, with all the dazzling pris matic stores of the universe at its command, could have devised noth ing more enchantingly beautiful. The sky of this grand intermoun tain realm was as bine as ever bent its sapphirean arch above the far famed waters of the Golden Horn, as blue and clear as the prude, trans- lucent crystal that domes the gold payed, jewel gated city of God, "not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. 11 The moan, radiant queen of love and romance, sailed up the fieckless azure attended by a royal retinue of gemiixe stars. A flood of soft, delicious light fell, like a silver mantle, on snow crowned crag and mirrored lake, on stream and woodland, roof and spire. The city lav asleep, ami all nature seemed bathed in sweet effulgence and holy calm.

It drifted on tmd up nil, enveloping- the moon, she peeped oat from be hind it like a fair girl face through a bridal veil. A ring of light, coir orless as pearl, white as the ghos? of a dead sun gleam, surrounded her, Pnee. having caught her in its coils, it rapidly expanded, and its outer edge took a pale lemon hue. This soon deepened intq yellow, and that to orange. Then came a circlet of green, so tender, so delicate, that it eoukl only have been wrought by mermaids' hands in ocean palaees of shadowy shells.

Most people believe that witch- , craft among civilized people ended ! when the Salem witch mania' ran its course and died out in the year 1692. It did, as far as America is concerned, except among savaeres. but in other countries the belief in the superstition did not die until a much later date, even if it can be truly said to be dead now. In Prance an old beggar was tortured to death as late as ltfOT on the charge of be ing one who "communed with evil spirits," and in Spam a witch was burned in 180S. In 1S30 in France a man and his wife tortured a suspect ed witeh to death, and nothing at all was done with them by the crim inal courts on account of the linger ing belief in sorcery. Pour years later a witch was drowned in Eng land, and in 1860 one was burned in Mexico. Li 1S74, 1S79, 1810 and again in 18S9 witches were publicly burned in Bussia, and even as late as 1890 regular judicial trials of witches were had in Prussia Poked and Austria-Hungary.
