low with no hint of sun behind them,
and up from the river swept chill fit
full wind, whispering and complaining
like an uneasy conscience.
BY and by the general gloom found
vent in a fit of weeping. Rain drops
fell slowly at first, and then in rapid
pelting shower that aroused Cherry
from her dreaming. and compelled her
to quicken her tagging steps into the
ungraceful little trot that woman calls
running. Up the street a blacksmith
shop stood invitingly open, with its fiery
glowing heart showing warmly within
and there she sought shelter, dropping
upon rude seat to rest.
"Ehp is it you, Miss Cherry?" smiled
the old man at the anvil, asthe head Ot
the small water-proofed figure emerged
far enough from its hood to become rec
ognizlble. Scot caught, didn't you?'
"As usual, Uncle Nat; out of thu
place belong to, aud not abe to reat
the other,'' said Cherry. despondentll

one head, and give them a genera
label.
You seem to fit in right well wher,
you are," said the old man. with I

face. 1--WE mostly belong where We

"No-oh no." protested Cherry
vigorously. I'm sure we do not. ]

trouble and unrest of the world is be-

places. and are c-ampiny or stretching
to fit somebody's else. believe it, too.
"Think we are all shook down here
like the pieces of a dissected map, eh?
and Providence can't put US together

he won't be too hard with my tenants

riage a bit, and see whether it seems
natural. Twas left here this afternoon
to have wheel fixed, and Is'pose they
haven't come for it on account of the
rain. We don't have such finery
often"
Cherry, half vexed at his reception of
her theory, glanced at the corner to-
ward which he nodded. Unusual
finery indeed. with its rich velvet and
silver mountings, was that luxurious
carriage. She walked over and exam
ined it more closely; and presently
when some men from the back part oi
the shop came forward to talk with
Uncle Nat, she entered it-partly to be
secure from observation and undisturbed
in her thoughts, partly, also, with a hall
acknowledged desire to see If it would
"seem natural" to her. What sense
Of wealth and comfort there was in the

ions!
She pillowed her head on the velvet,
and looked out at the blackened walls
Of the old shop, lit up by the fire CLEANS
here and there the glowing furnace,
the red-hot iron. and the sparks flying
from the anvil like spray from some
fountain Of fire. The place looked

of the furnace there came visions OF far

lurid light. Then. in strange contrast.

cities with the old-world sunlight upon

grand old cathedral organs. After that
she became very Wandering Jew.

through valleys like the garden Of Eden;
over continents and oceans. on. and
still ON for lifetimes. The fairest scenes
grew old, and her eager feet weary, but
they had no power to pause. At last
prison wxlls shut her in, and stayed her
wanderings for . little. It would be
