Dreams of Childhood

BY WINFRED BLACK. The little boy m u t u t asleep. And such a room as he slept Inthe new yellow trolley car stood at th*r very threshold. th -fast freight" with Its red engine and heavily loaded box cars was on a siding at the foot of the bed: the new Christmas tricycle stood In readiness close by the bl* chair: ifi" Indian suit was hunt on the bottom rail of the bed, and the fireman's red helmet at the head. But what on n: n o was wearing the cowboy rth! He Maps-wool and a roll half-yard lieths rope In his chubby hand, tho Be flannel (hlrt buttoned over his pamas. He must have gotten up and eased himself over again before he ally went to sleep a t all. Yes, there is the gun in Its holster! How could he sleep In comfort with I that regalia on? But sleep he did. id smiled while he slept, and turned id passed his rat hand lovingly, over e" woolly "chaps," tightened his fines tm the beloved "rope" with Its nnlngly fashioned running noose, ulled again and slept on sounder than er. Happy dreams. Little BoyDaredevil eje,- I meanmay you rove over bundless prairies all the happy night id rope the biggest steer seen or ara of by mortal mac! May your faithful pony bear you ray, away, far Into the glorious West, id may the thud of his flying hoofs rlke terror to the hearts of all roving dl-doers, for 'aren't you there to -enge. Daredevil Dick? What is the name of that pony of 'UTS? "Let-er-Co?" Fine. Just the line for him. "Let-er-Oo," and may . e lightning be as sunshine to the rlnkle of his flying feet! Dear me,\ had a pony oncein my earns- No, mine wasn't a pony; mine u a Spanish barbwhatever sort of irse that was. He was black as Jet, ath waving mane and tail, and his ims was "Spitfire"not Spanish extly. but still it was his name. When I rode that Spanish barb I Bgft I' you please, a dress of rose nk satin draped with costly lace of bweb fineness. There were diamonds my tumbled golden curls, and my leeks.were scarlet, as were my scornlilipa. I luul eyes of midnight that jexe like flashing stars when I was Jgry, ami melted to soft moons when jwss pleased. N one would ever have auapected IT of these things who looked a t me. [was to the ordinary eye Just a redpaded. hatchct-faccd little girl In t'-pettleoAts. end my Spanish barb Just a hitching rack In the hitchm stalls hack of the old churchbut. haw. such people as that didn't see! They didn't really see that she who we beside me on the next hitching irk was not the minister's daughter, |t a lady of high degreethe Lady fcart, of Pearl Island, where her esUes lay. Her steed was of Arab llnIgea mare, brown as a chestnut WTand she who rode her van clad blue satin looped and beaded all far witii priceless pearls. .The third rack In the hitching stalls ack of the old church was an Arab larger, white as the driven snow, with Ires, of flashing fire, nnd a mane like Inkled silver. The .rider of this glorious steed was blept Tsabel, proud and stately and fable to an amazing degree, and sho We k dress of shining white satin loped and hung with deep hearted rules, and her long hair was pinned to Je bottom of the train, each strand rnlng rubles. LAJ1 this we knew, we three who ran f the old church every day when ol was out; to all others we were three queer little girls, with nothg In particular in the way of looks adornment that to us was so fa'. Madge. Pearl and Tsabel. we rode far. far away In our brave satin spurtling with gems; far away Into that land of dreamy glory, that lies always Just outside the door In the lives or happy children. I saw Ysabel the haughty, the other day; she was just coming from school, where she had been to ao why her youngest wasn't doing so well as he might In spelling. Pearl, the princess, has Just returned frotn Europe. She teaches Greek In a bur Eastern college. I wonder if the young ladles ever realise that she Is the. Princess Pearl. Sharp anxieties have racked her heart In the passing year anxieties she never dreamed of when she donned her dress of satin Iraled with pearls and rode her Arab Deep sorrow has come to Tsabel. I saw that written In her eyes the other day, though she smiled and held her head bravely. And Madge, she of the golden curls wreathed In dlsmonds: she of the eyes of midnight, with the crimson cheek and lily brow. Poor Madge. I'm afraid those eyes have been wet with some scalding tears since alio rode Spitfire. But m i glad we rode the Arab steed and the Spanish barb: I'm glad we wore the gem-crusted robs of satin; rm glad our glorious eyes flashed and our proud lips curled. I'm glad, too, that the little boy wore his "chaps" to bed last night and slept with his beloved "rope" close In his hot little hand. I know now that he who looks like a round-faced tyke tw me Is really "Daredevil Dick, the Terror of the plains/' who would not hesitate ; o enlcr Into single combat with a grizzly bear, or to take Issue with a, whole band of the deadliest Indians that ever whooped. Dear Daredevil Dick, asleep in your cowboy suit! Happy dreams, Dick. May some of your dreams, the noblest of them, come true! As for me, when I lie down for the long sleep, what shall I take with me for company, I wonder? Through the long silence, the long, long night, what dreams, what hopes, what fond Illusions! And will there be some one to stand beside me and smile kindly at the little treasures I heap upon' my heart there In the long etlllness?

Advice to Lovelorn
Are You Sure of Yourself?

Dear Miss Fairfax: I am IS. snd some time ngo I Went with a gentleman whom I liked very much at that time, but gave him up for a friend with whom I had been going about seven years ago. I now feel that I would like to renew my friendship with this gentleman, but don't know how to go about It. This gentleman lives quite a distance from me. and I have heard through friends last he still likes me. but he Is going with another girl. I wouldn't like to make any advances, because I don't want to give him the Idea that I am running after him. A. J. H. Are you quite sure that your desire Is prompted by love for the man, or Jealousy of the other girl? The two sentiments are so much alike it Is sometimes difficult to distinguish between them. If you offended, you must be the first to apologize, even at the risk of being misunderstood. But don't play fast and loose with your friends in this fashion. Dear Miss Fairfax:' I am a young girl. IS years of age. and about six months ngo met a young man e.f ;*. I never went with him. as my parents objected to him because he was then out of work, nnd even when he did work could not make n living. He never told me that he loved me. but only vaguely hinted at It. He told my friend that -he was getting desperate nnd how much he loved me. She told him there was no use In liotherln!? with me, as I did not love him because of his habits. Now my parents say that I may go with him. but he already told his friend that he meant to make rne love him to such an extent that I' would not l. able to ,| 0 without him and then he would let me go and brenk mv heart, as he has already .lone to ether girls. I now love him very much. A CONSTANT READER. lou have given your love to a man who la not entitled to respect. If what your' friend says is true. Have nothing to do with him. Don't let him have a chance to break 3"oui heart, or cause you a moment's pang. Write Him. Dear Miss Fairfax: I am Iij love with a young man a few years my r.enlor. and I know my love Is returned. A few days ago wc were talking about other people, and I raid a great many things I know he did not like to hear come from my lips. I deeply regret them, as I am n Very decent girl, and want him to think so, too. Would you advise me to telephone to him and explain, nnd ask his forglv.ness? FORGET-ME-NOT. It would w better taste to write a little note saying you regret what you said Dont male.
