My TURN OF LUCK.
I v:is a iiu-iiilior of tlit corps oC i.iend-
Iy visitors for the associated charities
one winter and in my rounds I made (
some curious friends.
Anions; them were lr. and .Mrs. Spar-
row a: old couple who h:ul known pros-
perity iu other days. Th-ry had been en
riched ly the silver boom at 11 iriuiu

in
. "And that money will never come to
us" said old Mrs. Sparrow sadly
have knowledge of that. It has leen
told me."
"You are fortunate if you have friend
who can look into the future"' I replied
liphtly. She reproved me pently.
"You speak ipnorantly" she said
"And it is natural that you should. But
unlikely as it may seem I have friends
who can see into the future even as they
can remember the past from the begin
ning of time."
"You interest me. Mis. Sparrow" I
confessed.
She arose from the black wooden chest
on which she was sitting and lifted out
both arms full of closely written manu
script. These she put upon the well
cleaned deal table. She laid her hands
reverently upon them ami then looking
me straight in the eyes she said in her
queer little singsong voice:
'Nights when I and my husband sit
here lonely remembering how we have
been bereft of all that makes life dear.
a peculiar comfort comes to us. For the
room is filled with the spirits of the dead.
all eager to know us. Some of them are
simple people but others have been great
In the world 8 history. Some of them
died only a few days ago but others
have been dead thousands and thousands
of years. We had one man here who
helped to build the pyramids.. These peo
ple arc all grateful to me for helping
them to return to earth. They say that
the living are selfish nnl few of them
ever help the dead to return. And then
to help Mr. Sparrow and me pass the
time which sometimes hangs heavily
npon our hands they tell us stories."
"Tell you stories: Do they speak?" I
interrupted.
No not audibly. But I sit down at
the table take a pencil in my hand and
write the words that come to me. The
most wonderful tales are told me! Old
mysteries which historians have puzzled
over have been solved for mv amusement.
I have been told of the most ancient
things and been given insight into recent
scandals. And here in these many pa-
pers are all my wonderful stories written
down."
"But why don't you sell them?" I in
quired promptly being of a practical turn
of mind. "Is there any need for you to
be so poor with all these in your head?
The world wants good stories and is will-
ing to pay for them."
"It would be a sacrilege" she cried her
old cheeks flaming. "Do you imagine I
would so betray the confidence of my
friends?"
I could not persuade l.er to hold any
other view. Nor would she even read the
stories to me.
"But when I die." she added "they
shall lie yours. You are a writer and
you will be able to get some ideas from
them. I have perfect confidence in yon
and I know that you will never use the
true names of the persons who figure in
these narratives."
"But will not some of the stories lose
their interest if yon make that stipula-
tion. Mrs. Sparrow?"
"The dead are defenseless." she replied.
"There is even more occasion for iK?ing
loyal to them than to the living."
I had talked about the matter out of
polite indulgence merely. I had not nn
Idea that the sketches had the slightest
value. They were without doubt. I opin-
ed the verbose maunderinps of this lone-
ly old creature's brain.
The associated charities kept Mrs. Spar-
row and her failing husband supplied
with necessaries all that winter and I had
thoughts of advising that in the spring
they be sent back to old friends in the
west.
But they frustrated my amiable plan
by dying within a week of each other
both of pneumonia. It was I who saw to
their burying and the erection of a little
wooden headstone which bore their
names. And it was I who saw to the
distribution among neighbors equally
poor of their pathetically few effects.
As for the black chest with the manu-
scripts I kept that for myself as I had
been given permission to. do.
I was an unknown writer then. I de-
served to be unknown I suspect for
while I possessed an eager impulse for
writing. I lacked originality. My imag-
ination was hampered with a convention-
al point of view. I stood for the usual
the approved the desired.
Now I have a reputation as the writer
of singular and haunting stories. My
name is identified with all that is in
genious weird and mysterious iu litera-
ture. I know well that my name has
only to appear in the prospectus of a
magazine to increase the sale of that is-
sue extraordinarily. The announcement
of a novel by me means that the first edi-
tion will be- sold before it leaves the
press. lint I cannot say that 1 am hap-
py. Indeed I sometimes think of myself
as the most miserable of women.
For my reputation is not honestly won.
The work for which I have received this
credit and fame is not mine. It is the
work of many who have passed into
spirit land.
And when I meet them there as I sure-
ly must some day how shall I be re-
ceived? Chicago Tribune.
Buying? Boy by tbe Bushel.
There is an angry woman in this city in
a down town boarding house who has
wasted several days in an effort to find a
certain huckster who worked a shrewd
swindle ou her. She bargained with him
for 14 bushels of potatoes with the un-
derstanding that he was to put them in
the cellar tor her. Tlte careful house-
wife counted the two bushel hags seven
of them and paid the man for that num-
ber. A short time after the huckster left
a neighbor notified her that during the
potato transaction she had seen a small
boy crawling out of the front cellar win-
dow. An investigation showed that
there were only ten bushels of potatoes
and that on two occasions the boy had
been carried down cellar in the bag by
the huckster and had then climbed out
of the window and back to the wagon
gain to repeat the swindle. Boston
