WnOle row OF Jars JUST IKE them IN
Killers grocery yesterday
This decided all doubts on the mat
ter, and with 4 happy laugh and brim-
ming over with Importance, Nell dis
patched Tom to ASK auntie ii we might
have hot biscuits for tea, and Tommy,
dear, added our heroine insinuatingly,
you'll run over TO Willow Farm, won't
you, with note, and III finish your
reins before you get backp'
"All right, see that you do, " was the
patronizing response, as he rushed off
to execute his mission. AS soon as he
was we'll out of sight and sound, Nell
exclaimed: "Why, Alice, don't you
see? Why, it's as clear as day. Poor
Harry; how clever of him. -
Perceiving that l did not compre-
bend. she continued: Don't you re-
member how provoked | was because
Harry declared enlphatically that of
course he would make me an apollo
gy-' a'swcet apology '-and-her it
is ''-holding it up against the sunlight,
triumphantly. II shall send him
dear little note, say the apology is ac-
copied, and ask him to tea,n and clasp
ing the sweet treasure in both small
hands, she fastened to the house, and
lost no time in penning the few words
which would pardon and recall the cr-
ring one. Aunt Mary gave us carte
blanche, and much delight was ex-
pressed at the prospect of light biscuits,
fresh butter and golden honey.
Prompt to the moment came the re-
pentant swain. Greeted with smiles
was he by lovely little maiden, dressed
in an exquisitcly fitting pale blue cash
mere robe, particularly be oming to
my fair cousin.
Not word was said in reference to
the past.
As for Harry, he looked picture of
puzzled delight at his lady-love's mag
nanimity. We seated ourselves about
Aunt Mary's bountiful board, and after
each had been served with cold chick
en-, jelly and light snowy biscuits, al
most too hot to touch, conversation be-
gan. "Nellie, what in the world have
you got that thing there for?' inquired
Mr.. Blessing, indicating the jar.
''Just wait and you'll see," nodded.
our pretty hostess, as with dexterous
fingers she quickly loosened the top.
At this moment noticed a peculiar
smile pass over Mr.. Blessings coun-
tenance.
Expectant Tommy, who could no lon
ger restrain his feelings, demanded lib
eral and immediate distribution.
Tom, keep quiet!' cred Nell. otis
my turn first"
''Of course, that's only fair,' echoed
the chorus at the table
'But, hadn't you better wait till"
81 don see the reason why,'' STAN
mered the bewildercd Harry
"Oh, hush!'' ''That'll dor ''Give us
some!' ETC., etc.. until our friend Har-
ny was rendered quite inaudible.
Nell poured generous quantity of
honey over her deliciously butterel bis
cult.
"Ahn' murmured she, raising it to
her lips. ''Ah!' echoed the sympa-
theft chorus. The lovely mouth closed
quickly over goodly bite.
"Nell!' shriekcd Harry, '.what are
you doing?' and grasping her arm he
sprang from his chair, ovcrturning the
jar and running the blue cashmere fore
ever.
My cousin covered her face with a
napkin and fed from the room. fol-
lowed her. Mr.. Blessing did not wait
further developments. Tom rolled on
the floor in an ecstacy of merriment,
while poor Aunt Mary and Uncle James
were left solitary and surprised at the
tca-table.
Is it necessary to tell our readers how
vainly poor Harry tried to explain t,at
in the humility of his spirit he had pur-
chased a large jar of the very finest
liquid glue at Killers grocery, and how
he contemplated helping with heart
and hand to complete the album viii h
had occasioncd so much disturbance.
He had brought charming collection
of peace offerings, and was naturally
confused to find his mucilage placed
upon the supper-table?
! am sure you will readily see that
nothing short of unceasing devotion to
fancy picture albums, albums large and
small, Of all sorts and shapes and sizes,
| together with collection of character
cards from all corners of the civilized
world, and, in addition, an humble SUBJ
mission to the inevitable in the form
| of cream chocolate bonbops-th and
not till then, did our fair Nell accept
"a sweet apology"
