On making investigation they found the trunk of an ash tree In an upright position giving forth a light resembling phosphorescence, but more brilliant. Those who have visited the spot stoutly insist that the tree's light Is more of an Incandescent brightness, sufficient for the reading of print in Its vicinity. Large crowds were attracted to the place to witness the Bpectacle, while young people secured chips of the tree and wore them on their clothes in the dark.

Imaginary trouble consists of railroad accidents, earthquakes, fires, suicides, diseasea like the patent-medicine man makes, the poorhouse, death, and the grave, carefully mixed and taken after a late dinner, or a drop in the stock market. Borrowed trouble Is the kind we get from our relatives. Its principal ingredients are visits, borrowed money, birthday presents, advice and expectations.

I found out the last time I visited her that she needed one." "But Donald," protested his sister, "I haven't the least idea what Alma likes. It's rather difficult to choose Jhings for one I've never seen." "'Well," said Donald, fatuously, for lie waa very much in love, "your tastes and hers must be a good deal alike, for you both seem to like me." Sister Mattie sniffed rather contemptuously, but made no further objection to the task Imposed upon her.

She shopped painstakingly and finally bought a handsome black silk umbrella, which was slightly reduced in price owing to a fancy border, which the clerk assured her was still very stylish, though not quite the latest touch. It was so pretty and attractive that she felt sure Alma would be delighted with it. She knew she would be herself. Notwithstanding her pretended scorn, Donald's remark that she and Alma must he a good deal alike had given her a pleasant impression that perhaps their tastes might be similar. When Donald brought his wife home after a brief wedding trip his sister awoke very quickly to the fact that there were a great many more points of difference than of resemblance between the new sisters-in-law.

Pretty Alma was not at all like plain, practical Mattie. The latter could not but marvel that her staid brother could feel at home with such a pleasure-loving creature. Still, the Bame personal charm that had attracted him won her heart also and she gave the little bride a warm welcome. "Alma," said Donald the day after their arrival, "I have not seen your umbrella since we came. Do you know where it is?" "No, I haven't the slightest idea," answered Alma, with no concern whatever In her soft voice.

"Do you remember whether we had it in the cab when we came up from the station?" "No, I think we didn't have it then, Donald. Don't worry about it now, for you know you promised to take Mattie and me out in the parks. Don't you think you ought to be telephoning for a carriage or an automobile? Do get an automobile if you can. That's a ducky dear." Dignified Donald a ducky dear! Sister Mattie gasped, but her brother looked foolishly happy and went obediently to the telephone in the next room. not lessened the apparent demand for gold.
