Dividing with Grandpa.

Lulle was as D0nny q little laSSle as
ever wore blue eyes and shiny curls
and a white dress, with ruffles and a
sash.
In the summer she went to see her
grandfather She had been there be-
fore, but it was year ago, and she
didn't remember anything about it,
except that they had squatty dog,
which sat up and said, "Wough"
when he wanted something to eat.
And a cat that scratched her when she
patted it. And that the bedrooms
smelled of dried rose leaves. And that
grandfather always had nuts in his
pockets, and watch that snapped very
loud.
For she was now only four years
old, and most people find it hard, you
know, to remember things that hap
pened a whole quarter of their lives
ago!
She was little afraid of grand
father at first, but he was so kind and
pleasant that she was soon sitting on
his knee, playing with his long white
beard. Then she began to look very
hard at his head. She thought it
looked very strange indeed.
ooh, poor grandpa. What's ee mat
ter wis ou's head? Where is all ou's
hair gomez"
"Why, Pussy" he said, laughing, 81
have lived so long that my hair is all
worn out"
Lulie felt very much concerned
about it. She stood up on his lap and
peeped over his head to see how far
his forehead went back. 1t went back
very far indeed, and Lulie softly strok.
ed the few white hairs on his temples
with feeling that something ought
to be done about it.
Her own hair covered her head and
hung down in long curls. 1t seemed
to her that she had a great deal more
than her share.
"Ill div GU some O mine, ganpa,'
she said. very earnestly.
"Will you? I'll take a curl now,
then" he said, and he took out his PEN
knife and cut off a little curl which he
put in his pocket book.
"No, no." said Lulie; "Ill vide even
wis 'ou!'
But mamma said, "Run away and
play now, DEAR" and grandpa slipped
some nuts in her pocket and set her
down.
But Lulie went very soberly up to
her mammals room. Half an hour
afterward she came back with face
all smiles and dimples
"Ilere's 'ou's s'are, ganpal" she cried,
running up to him. Her short dress
was held up in both hands-full of
bright hair.
Everybody stared in dismay.
What woful havoc mammals scissors
had played with the sunshiny curlsl
On one side they waved as before,
but on the other they were unevenly
shipped off to the very crown of her
head
Mamma looked as if she hardly
knew whether to laugh or cry. But
grandpa gathered the darling, hair and
all, into his arms with such a hug as
as she had never felt before
Lulie's curls have grown long again,
but | think they might grow down to
her feet before grandpa will ever for
get how she cut half of them off to
cover his dear old bald head Youth

months ago he went to New York and be-
gan to speculate on Wall street. At first
he was very successful. In one week, he
told a friend he cleared over 100000. He
was iubilant, and said he was getting his
pointers from Jay Gould. His friend
warned him to be careful, but Gordon,
who is ordinarily a keen, sharp business
man, was confident that he would soon be
millionaire. 1t is hardly necessary to
write the sequel. He is here in Washing
ton, so one of his friends told me, without
a dollar--all gone in speculation"
