The paytog seller greeted her anx-
ious question with a smile, There
was no need of identitieation. As a
boy he had sat on Mary Mahoney's
knee, and he hail already heard of the
cheque. He looked ae it amiably,
-That's good, all right," he answer-
ed. "Now just sign your Hanle on

written—Mary Tibbets ibiaboney."
It was all so simple that Mary

Mary shook her head. "I'm think -

"All right; but look out, Bialy.

As if Maty Mahoney needed a warn-
ing like that! With both hands
clutched about her shopping bag, she
fled through the bank door and out
upon the street. Like some guilty
thing afraid to meet her fellow men,
she skulked home by a back street,
and crept into the house. In her
tiny bedroom she locked the door,
looked under the bed anti into the
closet, and pulled down the shades.
Then tremblingly she drew the money
from her bag and gazed at it.
One thousand dollars—and all her
own! How crisp and clean the hills

all these, there 'were to be --

Forgotten Peerages.
It would be interesting to know
how many of the present titles o£ Bri-
tish peers will be known fifty years
hence,
Peerages disappear at the rate of
five every four years, There are
numerous teatime for this. The re-
cent ease at Lord Swinton, who died
before the letters patent of his peer-
age passed the Great Seal, Is unusual,
but not without precedent.
Seven year's ago a barony was be-
stowed on ;air. Thomas Borthwick, but
he died before the issue of the letters
patent. From various causes 124
peerages became extinct between 1800
and 1900. Some peers have had no
heirs, as Lords Kitchener and Roberta,
Lord Kelvin, the scientist, left no
heir et all, Lord Lister, the Inventor
of antiseptic surgery, had no one to
carry on his title, which has thus be-
come extinct. Of present peers
neither Lord Milner nor Lord North -

The Child and the Dark,
There are some children, as every
mother knows, who are absolutely
terrified in the dark. They may not
be at all cowardly children., but if you
notiee, you will find probably that the
fear is owing to one of two causes,
either they are specially imaginative
children, or they have been frightened
in some way which gives them an un-
natural teaser of the darkness. tallness. Direction for appying usual -
These two causes should be treated ly come with then.
in very different ways.

child. When one really thinks about Royal Clothes.
it, what is morn natural than that The most extravagant lnropean
such a child should be afraid of the
darkness? The unknown has its fears
for most of us, and for the imagina-
tive most of all. And to a child, how
many things in this strange world in
which it finds itself are unknown. It
has to explore everything itself and
it never knows what will bo the next
surprise. The darkness must neces-
sarily be mysterious to it. What may
coma out of the darkness to its bed-
side? Some strange, dreadful mon-
ster like the scarecrow that fright-
ened it is in the field, or perhaps that
great spider that frightened Miss
Muffett so much—it seemed to do it
on purpose --or the three bears might
come all round the bed, for they
came all round Little Goldie Locks'
Keep Lamps Shining Brightly,
A good many industrious and clean-
ly disposed housewives, like Aladdin
of old, believe in rubbing their metal
lamps. Aladdin got what he wished
for when he rubbed his glim producer,
but the housewife generally gets, in
the course of time, what she doesn't
want; namely, a shabby appearing
lamp, for it doesn't take long to rub
the laequer off metal.
Lamps wouldn't be permitted to
remain shabby very long if house-
keepers knew how simple a process
it is to relacquer or re -enamel them.

tailor bordered on $10,000 a year, and
that of his military tailor $15,000. Hie
top -hat cost ]rim $25, and every year
he gave $2,000 for a fur coat. It is
said that he never gave less that $00
for a suit, and never wore It more
than three tunes. Compared with
him the Paiser wee quite ehappy. Ills

more terrifying ideas than these oc- rEinasa'n stn ,lens 1Aanevr8
cur to the imaginative child, for it is
quite capable to drawing on that im-
agination until it actually sees these
things and to add to the horror, by
hearing the scarecrow speak, or the
bear's claws scratching on the floor;
the furniture of the room will take
the shape of strange creatures who
stand silently round watching unceas-
ingly; in fact, there is no end to such
night terrors when they once begin.
Now how ean all this be ended?
The best thing a mother can do is to
welcome that imagination in the child
as her ally. Let her try to plant in
the child's mind the seeds of love and
trust. Teach the little one to see the
good in everything. Don't let it fear
or despise ugliness and deformity, but -
pity it. Let it understand that such
things as fire and water and darkness
are beautiful and useful and our
friends; that animals aro here to be
loved and to love us, and that if they
scratch and bite it 45 generally be-
cause they have been badly treated,
even lions and tigers do not !till for
cruelty but for food. Along such lines
the child's imagination will take the
right attitude to things, and wonders
will have been !accomplished, `
For the same reason choose a
child's reading from the first along
these lines—no fairy stories of enmity
and horrors, Such stories are too
emnmon—but beautiful fairy stoles
of pretty fairies and good spirits and
lovely deeds. And above all, teach
it to love nature.
The ease of the child who has been
frightened is different. Though what
