Poor little thing. she Is weary unto sleep:
She cuddIes herself In the big chair and

Yesterday, perhaps, but 1 mean to-day.

| George" addressing Mr.. Pelton, whom he
had summoned, ''to give this good lady n
cup of tea and o piece Of toast. some
chicken, and all that" Then, pausing n
moment, as IL propriety and philanthropy
are struggling for mastery in his mind.
"No, no, George. Tell Henderson to
send the dinner up into the room here ;
that's betterlr Tho young man leaves the
room. Then Mr.. Tawman enters the office
again and consults the telegraph operator.
e this message ut once, Mr.. Lind
say, II you please" He writes something,
and the operator clicks it of Mt once. It's
. long message, n very long message in
80 u WV 1890
not 20 important, 80 interesting to those
whom It concerns.
Then by the time the message is sent.
the dinner is ready in Mr.. Tawman's pri-
vate Office, when Mrs. Setter partakes of
it, but does not think proper to waken the
weary child, that she may eat also.
Then Mr.. Tawman says: snow. you
had better go. I'll see to the child ; III
bring the little girl up with me tonight"
mo. mol" exclaims the mother. 81
must have my Ellie with me always, sir.
You are so very good, though, sir so very
good And Is there no news Of the Good
Luck ?"
Not a word. I'm sorry to say"
ut can't be possible, The brig must
come in to-day"
I'm sure | hope SO, with all my heart
and soul, Mrs. Setter"
81 know you do" she responds, with n
sigh.
Now go. I'm sorry you have to waken
the child, but / suppose you can't help it. "
Come Ellie, says the mother, touch
ing her lightly on the shoulder.
The child with a start awakens and cries,
" Is 1t my papap Dear, dear papa I"
Then seeing her disappointment. she
burst into tearsL
Don't cry dear, don't cry. The brig
will come In. Don't cry I" The good old
man speaks soothingly to the sobbing
child and the mother catching her hand
walks slowly and sadly away. followed by
Mr.. Tawman, who lifts the little girl down
the stairs and helps both her and her
mother into n car.
The next morning the woman is npain
lettering about the wharves with the same
agonized inquiry. She agnin puts the ques-
ton to the Whnrfmen. and n0nin received
only the same answer. Then. as before.
she seeks the Office of the brig owners
still accompanied by her little girl, and
asks:
HAS tho brig Good Luck come In
yetfr
Not yet, ma'am."
She signs and looks out of the window Mt
the shipping. She says she will wait for
Mr.. Tawman, and sits down.
When MI. Tawman comes in, Us usual,
he greets her very kindly, and kisses the
little girl and says:
am sorry the brig isn't in yet 4"
