The Mavcrick farmhouse was on a lovely plateau of land half-way up a dreary mountain-side. And Billv sat alone by the Are, trying very hard to get interested in an old volume of <4Capt. Coob:s Adventures." which he had read over and over again. He jumped up at the sound of familiar voices. r": ' ' <roing where?" said jltei leaning out of the window. ' ? 4'Down to Wxley'a Woods," said John J ay cox. "We're going to have a corn and apple roast down there. There's lots of fellows coining." *4Oh, I do wish I could go," said Billy, with a sigh. "Well, come on, then," roared Herman Smith, only make haste." *'But I can't," said Billy. "Father and mother went to the camp-meet­ ing to-day and they left me to keep house." "Did ther s'pose the bears was go­ ing to carry off the house?"tcontempt> uously inquired Herman. "No," said Billy. "But old Mrs. Trick's house was broken into night before last when she was gone to tea at Eider Jones'. And father says it ain't safe to leave the place alone." "Much good you would be if the thieves were to come," sneered Peter Wise. "Well," I guess I can handle fath­ er's old musket as well as another man," said Billy with some pride. "But it ain't that, father says. The burglars only try locked-up houses and those where the folks are all away. -Well," sniffed Peter, "if a burg­ lar climbs this steep rjad he must be hard up for something to steal, that's all I have to say about it." "Do come, Bill," urged Jaycox. "We're going to have a regular good time!" Billy looked wistfully at'the other boys. "Oh, I only wish i could," said he. "Your folks will never know," said Jaycox, coaxingly. "No, I don't suppose they will," as­ sented Billy. But--" ••Ob, come uow," hoarsely shouted Herman Smith; "we can't stand here waiting all day. If Maverick is com­ ing let bim come. If he ain't, let him sav so. Are you ready fellows? Now, then, one--two-three--march!" And away went the little band of boys at a double quick! , Billy looked longingly after them. Boys are naturally of a gregarious nature, and he had been alone all the afternoon. "I might Just as well go as not," said he aloud to the old clock tick­ ing away behind the door. "It's just exactly as Peter Wise says--there ain't a burglar going that would take the trouble to climb the mountain road. It's all nonsense for me to stay here!" Billy Maverick, as you can easily see, children, had never studied the story of "Casabianca!" If he had been '-on the burning deck" it isn't at all prob­ able that he would have remained long enough for anybody to make a storv about. And yet Billy was a very (rood sort of little fellow after alL "And I won't stay," said Billy, "so there! I'll fix up a fellow to keep house for me, and I'll run across the woods and over the broken bridge and be at Pixley's Woods just as quick as the other boys get there." So Billy, whose resources were truly wonderful, drew the old rocking-chair up by the Are and put a bolster into it, which he flrst dressed up in an old coat of his father's and a battered hat. With fts back well toward the window, it reallv did look like an old man warming his hands at the fire. "There, old stuffy!" said Billy, as he gave it a final pat on one side and a shake on the other. "Now mind you take good care of the house." And scrambling out of the shed window so as not to unfasten any of the bolts and bars, he slid down the roof, dropped rnto a thicket of black­ berry bushes at the end. and only naUSinrr la mh him«Alf a iiui& %-TW1 * , ^uiuoom, -w yr*: "IW*'he argued within himself, •all flint-father and mother wanted me to stay in the house for was to make people suppose that it wasn't left en- tirf'ly aid no.--and why can't old Stuffy - do that just as well as me?" He made such good speed by swinging himself recklessly across the frame­ work of the broken bridge that he got to Pixley's Wood's nearly as soon as the other boys, who went by the regular pathway. A bright blaze of dry wood and leaves had been kindled under the shelter of a huge rock, the wru, ami »we*;ii pulitiiucs were put down to roast, and the bovs be­ guiled the time by dancing break­ downs, singing comic songs and tell­ ing tales and riddles. The flrst lot of smoking corn had just been lifted out of theashes when little Larry Pike came plunging down the ravine. "Halloa, fellows!" said he, breath­ less with the haste he had made, "have you heard the news?" "News! What news?" said Herman Smith, while all the boy's stopped short in their occupations and stared hard at little Larry. "Thieves!" said he,^ panting for hses.th. "Ia Maverick's house! And Jenks has gene for the constables, and Will Maxwell has trotted off on his father's horse to tell Maverick's tolks at camp meeting." "Is--is anything stolen?" said Billy, thinking of his grandmother's silver teaspoons and the spare money his father always kept in the till of the big red chest up in the garret. "They don't know," said Larry. <4They've got the house surrounded so that no one can get out, and now they're waiting for help." "Thunder! what fools they must be!" said Johnny Jaycox. "Why don't they go in and knock daylight into the scamps? I wouldn't wait if I were there." "But," said Larry, wisely, "how are they to know how many robbers there may be, or how well armed they are?" "Oh," said Johnny, who had not thought of this, and all the boys drew long breaths and looked at each other with the intense interest. "Truly," thought they, "this is almost as good as a 'to-be-continued' story in a weekly paper." But Billy Maverick broke away from the rest and ran as fast as he eould toward the solitary farmhouse on the mountain plateau. Whatever came of this dreadful state of things, he should always feel that it was his fault. Lyon Jones, a neighbor, was lean­ ing against the farmyard gate, hid­ den bv a cluster of cedar bushes, as Billy came running up. He caught at the lad's arm to stav his steps. "Don't go any further, Bill," said he in a whisper. "Don't give the alarm until we're ready to tackle the fellows." "Where are they?" said Billy, hoarsely. "What have they taken? How many are there?" "We don't know yet," said Jones "Pike saw one man through the kitchen window. He was Warming himself at the Are, very much at home in your father's old rocking- chair. 1 suppose the rest are scat­ tered through the houseP "One man!" said Billjr, "at the kitchen Are!" "Yes," said Jones, ••with a snuff- colored overcoat on." Billy stood a minute, staring at Lyon Jones--then he burst out laugh- lag. •4 t's old Stuffy!" said he. And he broke away from Jones and ran up the path as fast as he could go, call­ ing, "Come on! come on! There are no burglars at all!" The neighbors issuing from their various hiding-places, followed him, and gathered around the door just in time to see Master Billy scramble up the shed-roof, bounce into the little window, and disappear! Presently he once more appeared at the door of the kitchen, waving both his hands above his head. "Gome in!" he called out, again exploding with laughter. "Come iu and see the burglar. He wou't hurt you, I'll go bail! Why, he's nothing on earth but a twister, dressed up in father's old clothes!" And then as the four sturdy men came somewhat sheepishly in, he showed them the outlandish imita­ tion of humanity, which he himself had devised. By the time his father and mother returned from camp-meeting every one was in a tit of hearty laughter, to think that they could possibly have mistaken "old Stuffy" for one of a gang of burglars. Mr. and Mrs. Maverick smiled too. It would have been difficult to help it. But when everybody had gone home, and they were all alone, Mr. Maverick turned to his son. "It is all an excellent joke," he conceded, "and I am heartily glad that your *old Stuffy' is the only burg­ lar we have had about the premises. But, Billy, I would almost rather have the old silver stolen than know that my boy cannot be trusted to keep his word." Billy hung down his yellow, curly head. "I am sorry, father," said be. "I'll never desert my post again." And the little incident furnished all the neighborhood with gossip ana amusement for at least a week.-^ New York and Paris Bazaar. 4rm itaw ** Sunday MMools. David C. Cook, the Cfcteogo Sunday 1 publisher, was bora In Bast Worcester, JTew York, in 1880, a son of Bey. E. 8. Cook, a Methodist minister, a cultured and schol- arly man. Since ear­ liest childhood he has been devoted to the Sunday School. boyhood he joined the church, and be- can teachincr in the david c cook. Sunday School at the age of seventeen in the West Division of Chicago, and for four years following taught nost of the time in two or three schools each Sabbath. The fire of 1871 was the beginning of his mission and Sunday-school work on the North Side. His Held was die of the roughest and poorest of the burnt district. Here, in a German theater and beer-hall, he organized "Everybody's Mission," afterwards removed to a building of its own. With an attend­ ance of 350 to 450, he sustained the school for five years without the aid of church or society. Besides this, he has since organized a -- • ouw AfQUUO 43X.1B- sion, Lake View Mission, Lake View Union Sunday-schoois in Chicago, and the Sunday-school oonneeted'witb Grace Church in Elgin, 111., besides several smaller schools. His first roubUeations were issued for his own Sunday-schools alone. Neigh­ boring Sundaysohools, appreciating the value of these helps, became his flp«t nuhsaribere. Scon Mr. Cook dis­ covered that his -were not the only schools that needed moje and better literature than they could afford to buy at the prices then existing and resolved to make it his life work to place in the hands of the Sunday-school children of the land an abundance of the very best literature at the lowest possible prices. He was met at the very outset with almost insurmountable obstacles and lively opposition; but the obstacles and opposition only furnished zest, for he is a man of purpose, and it has been well said of him, "his indomitable enemy de- macd" Jr.curnicur.tr.b'.e obstacles." That his purpose was good and wise is proved by the way he has been suppoited. It is seventeen years since he issued his first publication, and there is now scarcely a village or hamlet in the land where they are not known and used. He employs regularly six associate editors and some sixty writers, repre­ senting some of the ablest 'Sunday school talent in the land. Among those who know him person­ ally he is always recognized as a man of strong Christian character, a prac­ tical worker in the church, Sunday school and temperance cause, and a warm friend ot missions, both hom> and foreign. satisfied that it 1*1 iOW. of . ewe Habitual constipation, well-tnfonned people will not buy other laxatives, which act'for a time, but finally Injure the system.

After a thorough stirring the lead separates intg globules, and when the oil has been poured off. after cooling, there are found to be about seventeen of the twenty potinds of lead remaining, the other three pounds haviGg been absorbed by tbe oil.
