SSG;e%SSHiSOPE WHITNEY laid the
@Ex1g crisp new bills and the worn
z5S ~. ones ono upon another.
"Just twenty" she said with . low
laugh, like the trill Of happy bird.
But before l go any further, let me
tell you something about Hope Whit
ney.
Her father died before her birth,
and the pale young mother, baptis-
ing the unconscious baby-face with
bitter tears, had named her Hope.
Then she had taken up the hand
to-hand struggle bravely - almost
cheerfully, for little Hopes sake-as
women Of deep natures, who have
loved once, truly and we'll, are apt to
do.
She hung out small sign, "Mrs.
Whitney, ressmaking," just at the
side of the door, and above tho red
rose tree Harry had planted the very
day he brought her homo to the
"bird's nest" rs he called the little
one-story cottage. And after that
the headaches and the backaches-
and worse still, the heartaches, be
cause there was no one to care-bs
gan in earnest. M
Seventeen years Of struggle, of in
genious turnings to make the most
out Of q little, and then the story Of
her life ended-as nearly as life
stories ever end; for this life Iof ours
possesses strange element, that is
not only to 60 on externally into the
great unseen, but is also to leave be
hind upon the earth an enduring in
fuence either for good or evil.
The heat of the summer had been
intense. Mrs. Whitney had over
worked, and there had followed few
days Of quiet, unalarming illness.
1t was the early evening Of q sultry
summer day. The sun had set in a
food of splendor, the birds had chirp-
ed their good night, and the moon
light flooded the room with the halo
Of pale glory.
Mother and daughter were alone,
with low heart-talks falling in between
the tender pauses that seemed filed
with a nalneless something that drew
Hope closer to her mother.
Mrs. Whitney had been lying with
her face turned towards the open
window, where the red roses nodded
their sweat heavy heads, when sud
denly she stretched out her thin white
hands with glad cry.
"Oh, Harry Harrylr
And H,ne, kneeling beside the bed
awed into silence by the smile a. Of d
great peace that lay upon the still
beautiful face, knew that she was
motherless.
The three years that followed were
hard ones to Hope, but she possessed
brave bright spirit, and courage
that knew no faltering.
For two years she had been teach
or of the village school, and, by care
full economy, had made the debit and
credit OF her accounts balance at the
end Of each year.
For months she had been laying by
a little, now and then, for the pur
chase OF Ia winter cloak, until the dol
lars counted up to twenty.
DO you think the getting OF q new
cloak an easy NATTER
To her it was not. But her OLD
one was worn, and had behind the
times look that annoyed her every
time she put it on.
