ously. a. Dora Klein preferred her
meek request.
II did talk about hiring a girl.
but don't know anything about
YOU.
Mrs Myers turned To her husband
who sat by the fire, trotting a club
by two-year-old on his foot.
What shall do, James ~
I" She's total stranger, said Mr.
Myers.
But she looks so weary and
worn out"
Well, let her come in and stay
all night-a bowl of bread and milk
and one nights lodging won't break
u.s."
So Dora Klein was admitted into
the farmers little family--and SO
neat and handy was she about the
place, so light and agile in her move
ment, so quick to learn, SO steadfast
to remember, that good natured little
Mrs. Myers had engaged her before
she had been in the house week.
You women are so impulsive,"
said the honest farmer, shaking his
head. Suppose she should turn
out bad"
How can she, James?" said Mrs.
Myers, Indignantly. +" She has a
face as innocent as any baby's.
Y !" Ny dear. I don't believe IL ply
siognomy."
Nor I, altogether, but I do be-
lieve in Dora Klein"
And as the days and weeks passed
by, MIR. Myers was obliged to confess
to himself that 30 far, at least, his
wife's judgment, or rather instinct,
had been correct.
The last November leaves were
fluttering down one clear, cold after
noon, when Mrs. Myers stood ut the
door ready to join her husband and
baby in the wagon, to attend q
merry-making at the nearest village
some miles beyond, while Dora Klein
was to remain at home to keep the
house.
Mind you feed the chickens at
five O'Clock, Dora, and don't forget
the little calf in tho pen; and if you
have any extra time you can just
chop the heart and the apples for
Saturdays mince pies, and"
"Come wife, Gomez called out
her husband from the wagon.
"And if the house should catch
fire, or anything" added this prudent
little modern addition of Martha,
" troubled with many snares," re-
member, Dora, that the money is in
stocking, under the old board, by
the south window, and the silver in
a japanned box close to it."
"Yes MN, said Dora, kissing her
hand to the laughing baby" Ill re-
member"
"Some people would say, my
dear. that wasn't IL very smart pro-
ceedins of yours" said Mr.. Myers
as they drove away.
What do you mean? asked his
wife.
TO tell girl just where our
valuables are kept.
James Wha; an idea. Why l
can trust Dora just A. implicitly as l
would trust mysef
Mr. Myers whi~sled. and drove on.
