Answers next week.

It was day in December, and the
snow was falling steadily. It was almost
foot deep along the road, but there were
no paths made yet. People did not want
to do the work twice over, SO they stayed
in doors with their shoyels, waiting for the
storm to stop. Some of them did their

stove, with not very much to say.
Len Beckwith was there with the rest
lie ought to have been at home studying
his arithmetic lesson for the next day, but
he liked to hang about the store when it
was stormy, and laugh when the men made
jokes.
Presently the door opened, and little
girl came in. She was plainly but warmly
dressed, and had a big umbrella, covered
with snow, which it took some time to
shake and close at the door. Len darted
behind the molassess- barrels when he saw
her.
ITS Ruth" he said to himself. "Tll
bet she's come after me"
But after awhile, as no stir was made,
and he was not called, he slipped forward
enough to peep ont, and see that Ruth was
at the counter buying something. Mr.
Muggins was doing up the package, and a
glimpse Of red showed just before the last
corner of the paper was turned in. Then
Ruth handed over piece of money.

He had glanced into their room as he

their secret some time.
After supper, he had his arithmetic les

if she means to eat it all herself? Girls

1
When Ruth put her umbrella up and
started out again through the snow, Len
thought he would follow her home. He
did not mean to catch up with her, but to
get to the house about the time she could
get things off.
So Just as she had laid her cloak and
hood aside, and had opened the package to
show the contents to her little sister, Janey,
and Just as Janey exclaimed, ooh! isn't it
nice" Len softly opened the entry door.
There he stumbled over the door mat and
the girls heard him.
3Hush-sh-sh There's Len p exclaimed
Ruth.
By the time he could get into the kitch-
en- there was no package to be seen. Now
he knew Ruth aoos sly girl.
"What you been a-buying, RUTH" he
asked, to give her chance.
Ruth S face turned very red, and little
Jane answered, spunkily:"
"None of your business, Len Beckwith."
DWELL, | know" he said, 'You've been
buying candy to eat on the sly by your
selves. Girls are the selfshest!n
But they only laughed and ran up stairs.
At first Len was going to find his mother,
and ask her about Ruth's errand, but he
bethought himself that she might ask him,
in turn, how he came TO be in the store
after school, and it might be unpleasant
for him. So he stopped by the stove to
warm his cold, red hands. His ,mittens
were in his pocket, but he had not worn
them because they were so old and patched
While he stood there, his mother came in
from the next room.
"Why, Len" she said, chow wet your
jacket is! Go right up stairs and put on
your other one"
Len started very obediently.
AS he wentup the stairs he heard the girls
rush suddenly to the door of their room
and bolt it, and then he heard them whis-
pering and laughing inside.
81 won't give you any Of my butter
nuts" he called out, as he passed by to his
own room, which was next to theirs and
only separated by board partition.
Their room was warmed by stovepipe,
which came up through the floor and then
turned into the chimney; but Lens room
was cold.
He stayed in it long time, though,
after he had changed jackets, counting his

Luck Was Dead Against Hin.


An amusing story is told ot an American
millionaire who recently honored London
with Il visit. As he was walking down one
OF the busiest streets one morning, his eye
vas attracted by an organ grinder who was
solemly and lugubriously playing at the
corner OF the street. The top OF the organ
was covered with a smooth green cloth. and
It was this green cloth that at once appealed
to the intellect Of the Transatlantic Crw ,us.
For him the green cloth suggested only one
thought, aud that thought was gambling.
He tancied himself in the presence OF some
peripatetic roulet player, and he could not
resist the temptation of taking turn. So
he stopped opposite the musical Italian aud
tossed gold com cheeriy on the green sur
ACE of the hurdy-gurdy. The astonished
foreigner stopped playing. grasped the coin,
pocketed it, removed his hat, grunted out
some voluble Tuscan thanks, aud resumed
his music. "Lost that time" the millionaire
murmured to himself, and produced another
coin. He tossed it again upon the board
from which it WAS again no less promptly
and no less gratefully removed by the delight
ed musician The millionaire shook his head
"Ah, luck against me- he remarked. as h'
sent third gold coin 10 CLEAN for momen
upon the green ,urf4ce before ii rapidly dis
appeared in the Italians pocket. Anothe
and another coin went the same way, with
out wearing out the patience OF the Ameri
can. But at last, when some six sovereign
had transferred themselves from bis keeping
to that of the organ- grinder, the American
bent forward, and in tone OF the inteuses
