A young lady in Australia, went to the store a few nights ago for a can of cream. On the way home—a long and lonely walk—she was at first astonished and then the least little bit alarmed to find a dancing light, which like the Tinker Bell of Peter Pan, seemed to keep pace with her, now on one side of the path, now on the other, always flickering in unexpected gaps amongst the tea-tree. Wlien she got homo she told her strange experience, and was evidentlv much affected bv it.

“I don’t say I was afraid,” she said, “not exactly afraid; but it was embarrassing, wasn’t it?” And indeed, they openly admitted her courage, and continued to praise her for it until the time came to use the cream. Then they discovered that there was no cream. It had been churned into butter. The lady still maintains that she was not really afraid, but, in the face of the circumstantial evidence, admits that there may have been some agitation.
