COBBLER'S TEMPTATION.


Jareb Gropp sat in his little shop up.
on his low bench, and he peggcd and
tapped away merrily upon his wcll-worn
knees. He was a jolly fellow this ia
rob. Poor, tbs true, but Just poor
enough to be free of care. lie owned
the tin-roofed box in which he worked,
and so he owned the little matched cot
that joined it, In the cot were two
rooms, and in the shop was one. In
the cot he lived with his wife and seven
children, and in the shop he worked
oheerfully all the day long. He was
not afraid of robbers, for he had moth
ing worth carrying off; and he feared
no man, for he never did a man wrong.
A merry fellow was Jareb Gropp.-
lie sang as he pogged, and his Joyous
notes lacked only musical sound to
make them attractive. E1e was built
after the same pattern as was his shop
and cot. He was short and dumpy,
with round, shiny, good-natured face,
and with a bald pate, though he was on
ly fve-and-forty.
"Tol-de-rol-lol-de-lol -lardy" sang Ja-
rob.
"Fol-le.rol -de-riddIe-de- roll le ric-
tum!" sounded voice from the inner
door.
Jareb looked up and saw his wife.
just n match for Jareb, for all the
world! Short, fat, clean, good-natured
and happy as queen. She was dress
ed neatly, for all her poverty, and the
flush of health glowod upon her plump
cheek.
"Duck," said Jareb, "the likes o.
this never happened afore."
"What is it, my sugar-plum?" asked
Hepsabath.
Hopsabath was her name, though he
hadn't pronounced til full for many
years.
