WHO BANGED sUSIE'S HAIR.

Susie Burke came in from: the garden
one warm summer afternoon, with her
little scissors in one hand and lot of
paper dolls and dolls clothes IN the
other. ,
why. Susien' exclaimed her
mother. "What in this world have you
been doing to YOURSELF"
'.Susie Burke. what ever possessed
you to cut your hair like that?' ex-
claimed Helen. her elder sister.
"O-o-hI What will papa say? He
Just hates bangs!' put in Harry Burke,
Susie's brother.
.How could you do such a thing, my
child?" asked Susie's mother, with
looks of mingled establishment and dis
pleasure.
Susie's face grew red and she looked
ready to cry. She put her hand I'M
easily to her forehead, across which the
soft, dark hair, which was usually
combed smoothly back, fell in \ very
irregular line. 1t was easy to see that
the banging had been done by no
practiced hand.
Il didn do it, mamma" said Susie.
"You didn't do it? Who did, then?"
al don't know. truly, mamma"
"Why, Susie, how can that DE pos
sible?" said mamma.
"Why, Susie Burke, what a story"
exclaimed Harry.
Hush, Harry! Don't accuse your
little sister OF telling what isn't true.
Where have YOU been all the time since
lunch, Susie?n
''In the arbor in the garden, cutting
out dresses for my dollies,' said Susie,
holding up what she had in her hand as
evidence of the truth of her words.
'.All the time?" queried mamma.
.'Yes, all the time. l haven't been
anywhere else"
'.And you didn't cut any OF your hair,
not the least little lock?"
mo, not the least little bit. / knew
papa wouldn't like it."

II didn't see anybody. mamma"
'.Well, if that isn't mystery" ex-
clrimed Mrs. Burke.
Its awful hard to believe, 1 Think"
said Sister Helen.
I'VE must believe it. Little Susie
has never been known 70 tell a lie.
Whatever any of my children tell me
shall believe is true till they have clear
ly proved their words .untrustworihy,"
said mamma, firmly.
.'But how could such q thing be-"
argued Helen. Her hair is cut all
jagged, exactly as a child would do if
she tried to cut it herself, and yet she
didn't do it, and don't know who did
it,
"And she asked papa the other day if
she might have her hair banged, Just
like MOllie Eastman's," said Harry.
Il dion do it, truly, truly, mamma, :"
was all poor Susie could urge, while she
nestled closer within the eacircling arm
whose clasp seemed to assure her of de-
tense against the displeasure and dis
trust of all the world.
I'VE shall have to wait and see what
papa will say" said Mrs. Burke, after
moment of perplexed thought.

''Will you tell MIN didn't do it?'
