VINO win say, after reading this little
story, which comes to Us all the way
from the Granite Hills, that the clumsy
toad is the most stoEd creature in the

for less pay, too"
Smith Was by no means the ogre he
seemed Aside from his prejudiees he
WAS sensible, kind-hearfed man.
Georsiana WAS not called upon to open
the store or run errands, though she
offered to do both. Curious TO relate,
as days and weeks passed, Smiths re
pugnance to her presence not only van
ished with them. but he began to regard
her with positive pleasure.
He used TO often look through the
glass door, watching the graceful poise
of the head and the rapid motion of the
deft little fingers as they giided over the
paper, until at last curious fancies
seemed to creep into his brain, and he
began to indulge in glowing dreams of
how wonderfully such little woman as
that would brighten up his lonely and
cherries home.
But he determined to proceed eau
tiously. He had ii. His housekeeper
was about to leave; he would offer Miss
Gardner the place-and then.
Having formed this resolution, his
next step was to request the young lady's
presence in his private Office, a summons |
that was promptly obeyed
Miss Gardner, don't You think the
situation of housekeeping in a quiet
home, like mine, for instance, would be
preferable to your situation here?-

inquiry, and the look which accompa-
MED it.
