its earliest stago, and, being a woman of
broicl sympathies and keen Intelligence,
her heart and brain were appealed to by
the complex conditions that met her at

tho sugering3 of the pioneer people who
had Eoebing and no one to turn to in their

attention, as nothing was yet provided for
sjck folks in Sedro. Services jwere j neld

. Did It ever oconr to you that a drop of
flow could nav&a story to toll or a strange
experience, to relate? i Listen, and, small
as I am, I will tell jou story which I
'saow to bo true . i '
About ton years) ago I first visited this
beautiful meadow. Whntl-
-that I am as bid as 'that? Oh-. VW - r
and a great deal 6ldorI- But lei me tell
you my story. . . .-; .
-I Wnkenod one beautiful morning to find
myself swinging in a hammock formed by
a fresh blado of grass AvhicJb grew on the
bank of this same littla stream The sun
was just peeping" over the ! hills, and the
morning, was col and 'delightful. .The
proezo swung my fammock: gently, and I
lay naif dreaiu4njl was still in oloua-
taaa wnen i Heard the voloes of obildron
Just below me on the bank. I wakened at
onco and listened, ior tho children and I
are always friends, and I never tell their
oc-oreis except to otner children like you
f And Willie,", a little girl's voice wai
was
saying, "ne sent his picture 1 with
tor, and he looks just, splendid."
tbo let-
Ana be Is coming tomorrow, you
said," came in a boy's voice and In a dis
consolate tone quite. In contrast to the
eager speech of his companion. : ;
I peeped over the edge of my grass leaf
and discovered a girl and, a boy of perhaps
10 and 19 years, just seating themselves
on the grass-a short distance down the
stream. Tbo, girl's hair and eyes were
dark, and the latter shone with pleasure
at tho news she was imparting. The boy
was lighter, and there was a troubled look
about his baze.1 eyes a look which I
thought the girl saw and rather enjoyed.
-." Yes, Cousin Harry is coining tomorrow
and will probably' stay and go to school
here next term."
"But, Bossie.you will let mo carrv your
books for you sometimes after he comos? j
can't quite bear to give that up. " His look
was tender as well, so I peeped over Just to
see, wbon'-sl leaned too far, lost my bal
ance and rolled off the end of my grass
blade into the stream below. ;
The water swallowed me up and hurried
me on, and much as I wished to hear Bes-'
ele's answer I felt sure that I never, never
should. : ' .....j'.-;.
I soon forgot my disappointment, how
ever, in my enjoyment of tho wild frolio I
was having over the stones with the man v
companion drops which made -up tho
stream. Many days we danced on over the
pebbles and by the grassy banks' were, the
wild flowers grew and bent to kiss us as
we passed. Other little streams joined iia
from time -to time and when weflnally
reached a large.city the stream haVbecome
bo many times larger than wheiTl tumbled
In that people, spoke of us vA, a river, p To
such dignity had we attained.
On and on we went until we came- to
the beautiful wide ocean, and then in Its
great depths ourrlvar was swallowed tip
nal had beenjd the little stream. At first
I was afraldf Funny, wasn't it, that I
should be afraid of the ocean when it was
just made up of little drops r liko myself?
But there seemed suoh a groat crowd of
them that I could not-realize that I was
just- as important as any other drop, and
so for awhile I kept feelinsr scared and
wondering what was going to jhappen to
me. ' ', i . , '
One day I found mvsf If riaht down at
the bottom of the ocean, and I wish I could
tell you all the wonderful things I saw
here.. I'can't begin to. but it was much
ore interesting than anything I bad ever
en upon the land. There were tho most
loautif ul shells and pieces of coral and
ponges. And there were fishos of all kinds
and some of them looked pretty ugly, I tell
you. It makes me tremble yet to think of
them but.some of them were as beautiful
as any flower that grows up here on the
earth. , - ' i v; .
Well, after a long time I reached the top
of the ocean again and as I lay there toss
ing, tossing in the light breeze and look
ing up at the glorious sun, I suddenly had
the strangest feeling as though I was light
as air and I seemed to be going up, up,
up. You may Imagine I wondered what
was happening to me thien, for though I
had had some queer experiences I couldn't
remember ever feeling like that before. As
soon as I became composed enough to look
around I discovered to my amazement that
I was far above the ocean and floating
about on a Cloud in fact:, that I was part
or a cloud, it was delightful as soon as I
became used to it.
At times we floated idly about, enjoying
the scenery below us and tho warm sun
shine abovov At other times a sharp
breeze would strike us, and we would scud '
along like the wind itself. Some of these
rides wererery exciting. We could see be
low us the great trees bonding, sometimes,
breaking in tho storm, and ' the rain
drenching everything as it fell. After
some time, spent in this delightful cloud
life we were suddenly chilled one night by
a cold wind which seemed to almost freeze
us. At the same time I felt myself be
ginning to fall. Down and down J went,
when, behold 1 1 found myself alighting in
this very meadow, almost on the spot
where I bad swung in my hammock so
many years 'ago. To complete my sur
prise, I heard a voice down by the bank of
the stream saying, "And, Bessie, 1 have
thought of you all these years, and it Is
the thought of you that: has brought. me
"Ob, mll" wa3 all the answer I heard.
Once more I peeped over "just to see.
Yes; surely they were the same, only grown
to young man and woman hood.
"And may I take you with me when I
go back again?" Will askod, and his voice
had the same wistful tone X remembered
so well.- And Bessie, very sweet and very
rosy, answered, Yes." j f .
Z. And then he slipped on her finger a
beautiful pearl ring, and ; I do j believe , it
Was tbo very same pearl that I saw at the
bottom' of the ocean and wished so much
to possess, but really this was better than
to have It for myself. '--" .
' I watched them as they wandewd down
the stream.. Then they turned as they
came nearer, and I heard Bessie ask, "Do
you remember Cousin Barry, Will?'
I think I do," he answered, and I
Jaughed to myself at the tone in which he
said it. ; h . ' -, . :
: "We had a letter from him yesterday,
.and he is coming to visit us. It is ten
years since ho was here, and" a bright
little blush "and ho will be here for our
wedding.," .1
And wasn't it queer that after all those
years I should have-heard Bessie's answer?

' j It' Stops the Crying.
To keep babies from crying an ingen
ious device is resorted to in India. The
moment a child begins to cry the mother
places her hand, over its mouth and nips
its nose eo that it cannot breathe. Then
it is allowed to breathe freely again,
but should it make use of the oppor
tunity to again set up a howl it is at
once Suppressed in the same way. This
jis repeated till the baby imagines that
the painful stoppage cf the breath is
caused hyjts own Effort to scream, and
so is careful to "keep quiet It is needless
to say that this method will scarcely be
adopted by doting American mothers.
