The thrc: g rL — Barbara, Dorcas and Mary — were lilting on a side hill under the abedb of a grand old cedar tree. I Barbara, who had ooce uken a quaiL 1 e-'aleaaona in drawing, had a aketch board on her lap and was trying— with but liUle success, it must be owned— to reproduce Ute lovely ribbon likes curves ES of the river that wound its way through I j® the valley below. ua) Mary had her needle woik io her lap, and Dorcas, with her hands clasped un~ — der her head, had long given up all at- \ tempt lo read the paper covered novel J, that she had brought with her. "The sky and the sunshine sre id much better," she said. They were three shop girls— bright, ambitious, spirited young things, full of life and aspirations, even though they were kept down by the force of circum- 1 stances; and they clubbed together their slender resources In order to enjoy their vacation to belUr advantage. Dorcaa, the business member. of the 1 Arm, bad bought au excursion ticket ' first, and liaveled out to Schepp's valley neodless to my that the hotel and board. 1 log bouse prices were fsr beyond their 1 we could obtain one room and the very ■ "You mlght'try Old Ma/ Morris." replied the portly dame who kept the Yal.

' And the landlady went to the dc.or to ' point out a slender blue thread of amoke 1 mam of woods on a distant hill, and 1 once more Dorcas set forth on her pal.

The hoard, to be sure, was plain, the bed of coarse husk mattress, wiih a blanket spread on 1 the floor for Dorcas herself, Ute furnt- 1 tuns home-made sad uopalated. Rut there was a grove of pine wooda In the — rear ; the blackbirds piped their silver _ flutes all day long, and the bees darted ' in and out of the red lUlles by the gar- 1 den wall, and our three heroines believed themselves to be In paradise. > But even as Barbara Hale thus be- ' wailded herself, a portentous akadow |) swept across the sun, and on looking ^ around, they saw that a mass of livid ' — purple thunder do da bail pilled them- 1 '- selves up along the western sky, while distant mnlteriags, and nMr- aad linn 1 a sudden flash, announced the coming 1 i.sc Dorcas sprang to her feet, Barbara be 1 l!» gan hurriedly to fold up her sketching 1 ha apparatus, Mary put bcr thimble and scissors In her pocket. ' Mi "We must get homo quickly as possi- ^ ble 1" cried all three, rer Bat In availing themselves of a "abort 1 cut" across a patch of wooda they got 1 hopelessly lost. The sun set behind the ac purple battlement of clouds, the dusk 1 £ fell rapidly In these dense woods, and for the ram began to patter down In huge 1 drops. ' Barbara, the aspirant after adventure, ' ■•a began to cry. ■ "Jo "We sre lost 1" she mid. ' "Lost t Nonsense !" mid brave Dorcaa. ' 'When I can see the railway track t " shining down below. Who ever got lost a 53 close to a railway track f .Let's make for the track." t 3~ "And get run over," lamented Barbara. I "Not likely when there's only one train a day, and that at noon," laughed 1 Dorcas. "If sre walk along the railway I line we must come out somewhere, don't jou sec 7" r "And besides," added Mary, "there Is a little ruined cabin not far from here a . where the railroad Bagman used to Use 1 ( before they changed the location of the station. I remember Mm Morris show. 1 mi ing it to me once." i "Oh! oh!" shrieked Barbara. 1 could I US never go there ! The flagman was klled an the track. There's a g-g-gboat there!" 1 "Would you rather atay here and get ' drenched through with rain 1" severely 1 demanded Mary. "Or (truck with lightning 7" added 1 Dorcas. • And the upshot of it was that the • ■ three fugitives took refuge In a misers- t ■ ble old shanty close alongside of the rail- I road track, where weeds were growing <• np through the cracks of the floor, and a plentiful portion of the rain came patWring through the leaks in the roof, r while the old none chimney, all settling to one side, looked as if no stroke of i. lightning could harm It very much. r ■4 "Bat It's some shelter," mid Miry , cheerfully. "Well stay here until the 3 shower Is over, and then make the beet j 2 of oar way home. s The shower, however, showed no in- . j» dtcation of abating in lis vigor.

Tl)e Ajintrallan System of •Our present syst m of voting is exceedingly advantageous to politicians, and as ruiuohs lo the people.

It been abundant) y,cvidcnl in the testiof Ute last campaign. So much that all through the country the genend decision is, " something must be dooc."
