to his customer: "Just get on; and we

He was given the desired information,

was evidently something new to the

of 1t by remarking: "rhis beats all

he rather thought it did. In the mean

"My DarllnX's Blind,n

A lady entered a car on the Oak
wood road one day the past week lead
ing little girl, perhaps four years
old. The mother sat down and litte(
the little one to the seat beside her
The child was nibbling at Il bit of cake
of sugar, now and then turning hel
face, full Of childish love up to hel
mother, and murmuring some almost
unintelligible words Of affection.
Opposite to mother and child sat al
other younger lady, who often smclled
fresh rose which she held. The in
nocent little one before her attracted
her attention, and the natural kindness
Of the sympathetic woman heart
prompted her to at once offer the fra.
grant flower to the little budding lilly
opposite. SO she leaned Il bit forward
and spoke:
baby want the poscy?"
But the child seemed not to hear.
Perhaps it was the noise of the moving
car that prevented. Then she spoke Il
little louder and held the flower for
ward temptingly:
baby may have the pOScy.'
The mother heard, for she looked to-
ward the other lady and smilcd---and
o, such look OF heartfelt gratitude Of
motherly love, yet heavily saddcncd
with such an expressive tinge of sorrow
rs is seldom seen. And still the lady
of the rose pressed upon the little one
acceptance Of the flower.
"Baby, take the rose," holding it al
most to the child's hands. And now it
seemed she was heard, for the blue
eyes turned fun upon her would-bc
patron, and then in moment she
strangely drew back and turned her
eyes appcalingly toward her mothers
face. The lady with the flower show
Ell her bewilderlncnt in her look, while
pained expression fitted across the
iace Of the mother, who leaned forward
and whispered just II word:
"My darling is bIind!"
Then the whole sunless, uarkcned
life of the tair little being-iair as the
tao which had been offered TO her
came up before the mind. All beauty
shut out from her f0revc For her no
