(it was near midnight.' Stubby's ."east and chat with the Chihuahua log" were over and he was lying --nsleep just outside of Billy's stall. Suddenly he was awakened by something hot dropping on his head ind paw. - Jumping up to find out .vhat had hurt him, ha saw flames pouring out of the open windows of .he hayloft, and as he looked the lightened faces of two tramps appeared at the windows and then lisappeared, only to reappear at another window where there was less

where they dropped uninjured upon i pile of straw. They had scarcely landed when Stubby was after hem, barking and biting at their legs, while they took to their heels in double quick time, glad to get off

the premises. Stubby did not rol

low them, for he knew that he must hurry back and awaken the household so some one would come md unlock the stall where his be

hoved Billy was fastened. He ran

back to the barn and commenced

,o bark, telling Billy that the barn

was on fire. "I knew it, Stubby. I hare been imelling fire and smoke for the last lalf hour, but did not know where t came from. My stall is so dense with smoke I can't see, and if it were not for this strong rope

iround my neck I would be out of

here, for I could easily butt down (he door, but this rope is as tough and strong as Iron. I have been shewing it ever since I smelt the smoke, but it still holds together, t have pulled until my neck is nearly severed from my body and still it won't break or slip over my horns. The horses and cattle are ill in a panic and are sniffing and pawing like mad." "Keep on chewing, Billy, while I run to the house after help. Everything is Quiet there; the night watchman sneaked to the city when jveryone went to bed and he has

not returned, and at the house all ire asleep, never suspecting that fheir property is being destroyed uid their cattle in danger of cremation. Oh, why did the watchman 'eave his post!" And Stubby llterilly flew to the house and barked nd barked, jumping against the loor to make more noise and eating to the little Chihuahua dog to Jielp arouse the sleeping inmates. Every minute the flames rose ilgher and higher and the blazing mildlng lit up the landscape for miles around. But the inmates slept serenely. Stubby ran to the back )f the house and upset a lot of milk ails, knowing they would make a enible clatter as they rolled about n the stones, then back again he an to his master's door, growling is before. At last a sleepy voice ailed out: ""If you are after a cat, let her lone and lie down; don't arouse he whole household with your

lolsy barking.

' "At last I have awakened some-! one," said Stubby, "and I shall

nake more noise than ever," so he -an toward the barn and back gain, barking furiously all the Mme, so that his master would tnew something was wrong there, ben he again went to the door and jrowled and whined. . rart II. "There must be something the natter or Stubby would not make uch a fuss," said his master to his wife when he at last heard the little

log barking. "I'll just get up and ook out of the window," and as he

raised the window shade the whole room was flooded with the red glare of fire. "My heavens! wife, the barn 13 on fire and I have been lying here like a log while that noble dog has been trying to awaken me, and 1 trying to drive him off, thinking he was chasing cats!" , Stubby's master only waited to step into a pair of trousers and slippers before he followed Stubby on flying feet to the barn, just stopping long enough on the way to ring the alarm bell that hung on a high pole and could be heard all

over the farm. This unusual sound

in the dead of night awoke all of the farm hands, and they came running as fast as their feet could carry them, rubbing their sleepy eyes, wondering what danger menaced them, for this bell was never to be rung except in case of fire or danger. One glance at the blazing barn drove all sleep from their eyes and they rushed toward the fire; their one thought being to save the horses and bulls; the bulls that were to fight the coming fight and which had been reared and fatted for this express purpose. Apart from the great financial loss, it would spoil tomorrow's sport for thousands and thousands of Spaniards and Mexicans who were anxi-

knew, what was awaiting them on the morrow, they would not have tried so frantically to escape death by fire. . : -T ' As Stubby and his master were approaching . the barn, one end of the roof fell in that end. where Billy's stall was, and on seeing this Stubby gave a howl of despair; but -the next second was blinking to see if his eyes were deceiving him, for who should come out of the stall door with a bound but Billy! The goat had at last succeeded in chewing his rope in two, and, that done, it was an easy matter to butt down the door.' Better yet, the bulls, seeing the opening, had broken out of their stalls and were following

Billy. The roof had caught on some strong cross-beams and had not fallen on the cattle in the stalls. Soon all the bulls were out, but to get the horses out was another matter, for, as you know, horses will remain in a burning building in spite of everything, unless you can cover their heads and . lead them out, and even then it is a hard matter to get them to stay out. . With the help of all hands, however, they succeeded in saving the horses, but none too soon, for as the last one was led out, the whole barn crashed in and a few minutes more was nothing but a red heap of burning embers.

open-mouthed wonder at this strange conglomeraton of humanity gathered in her father's front yard. The songs they sang were new to her and she wondered what these people were doing singing songs out-of-doors anyway. Her father explained to her that they were a religious sect who had chosen this means of winning people to their faith. The police, influenced by the saloon-keepers, had ordered them off the streets so Mr. Charlesworth had allowed them to hold their meetings in his front yard. Maud Charleswonn married Mr. Ballington Booth and together they devoted their lives to helping poor people, first through the Salvation Army and later by giving their services to prison work. ,

One day he got his wish when an

aviator landed in a field that be longed to Jimmy's father. Some

thing was the matter with the air

plane,, but the man fixed it pretty

soon and then he asked Jimmy if

he wanted to go up.'

iou bet Jimmy did want to go

up" but he wanted it so badly that he could not say so. He could only gasp and stammer until he began

to be afraid the flyer would think he was scared. Then he quit try

ing to say anything and just

nodded his head very fast. Jimmy Was Strapped In.

The flyer put Jimmy in the front

seat and buckled a strap around him. Then he got . in the back

seat himself, the motor began to roar and before Jimmy knew it there were a few bumps and then

he looked out to see the top of a

It did not take long to climb

away up so that when Jimmy look

ed down the country looked all flat like a picture, or like some of the

maps in his physical geography look. They were in the clouds now and as soon as he saw this Jimmy noticed them particularly. But he was a little disappointed because they looked just like fog except that the fog was in bunches. The flyer saw Jimmy looking at the clouds and just for a joke he turn

ed the plane and flew into one. Jimmy yelled because it looked so solid he was afraid the plane would smash against it. But Instead the plane tore right into the cloud and then Jimmy found it really was only fog. All around was a thick mist so that he could not see even to the end of the wings. It was only a few seconds until,

they flew out into sunshine again, and then Jimmy forgot all about the clouds for way off in front and coming towards them he saw another airplane. It was just above the clouds and as Jimmy looked across them at the other plane they seemed to him like the sea with the

plane sailing over them just like ai

boat on the sea. How Airplanes Greet Each Other In Flight When the planes were close together Jimmy suddenly felt his own

so that first he would teei

heavy and be pressed down hard

in his seat, then the seat would drop away and Jimmy would have flown up against the top wing, except for the belt buckled around him. When he looked at the other plane he saw it was going up and down too. First it would dive down a little way then climb up, then dive again. Jimmy decided this was the way the planes said "How do you do" for they began to play tag and hide and seek. Playing Hide and Seek Among the Clouds One would drop out of sight behind a cloud, and when Jimmy's plane went to find it, it would not be there, but would fly out of another cloud some place else. Sometimes one would get a long ways from the other by flying behind the clouds all the time so the other could not Bee it. Once Jimmy's plane went over a cloud while the other was under it and when he looked over the edge of the cloud there was the other plane beneath them! Another time, when Jimmy's plane was running away from the

other one, they came to a big cloud with two peaks sticking up high and an open space between them. Jimmy's plane flew through here, but as soon as it was through, it dived and turned back under the cloud. Then they came up behind it again and through the passage

way between the peaks once more. The other plane was there hunting

for them, for it had been fooled

when Jimmy's plane disappeared. The other flyer did not expect

them to come again from the place he had just chased them through.

The flyers were tired by now and

said good-bye by rocking the planes again. Jimmy's plane flew back

to his father's farm again to let Jimmy out, and that night he

dreamed he was a flyer too. By
