CHAPTER I.

Weary and disappointed. she had wandered
from store to store, seeking in vain to make her
slim pocketbook fit the mary wants which the
seasons demand called for. The cold winds
pierced through her thin and tattered garments,
but, brave little woman that she was, she needed
II not. She had tried every store that she had
been accustomed to trading in, and many others
besides, but she found it impossible to make
anything like both ends meet. Tom. dear. good
hearted Tom, had handed her $1l So his week s
wages In full. "'Tis hard, Kitty" he said, but
twins all / could make this week. Work was
very scarce, and we had to divide it up" So
brave little Kitty had started out to settle her
grocer and butcher bills and buy her "Santa
Claus presents for the little ones And now
after she had walked herself weary and foot
sore, disappointment was indeed truly seen in
every movement At last sudden thought
came to her. Perhaps" she said perhaps at
that big store on the corner they may have just
what | want. But, mol ! have tried every
where. and cannot bear to get for one when
cannot get for all" So unused poor Kitty, but
a sudden resolution overcame her, and straight
way to the corner of Broughton and Bull
streets, TO Altmayer's palace of bargains,
wended the dear little wife and mother.

TEDDY wears No. 9s," she said, in answer to
the polite clerks query as to the size shoe she
wanted. The price asked her was evidently en-
couraging, for she ventured further. She bought
two pairs of stockings for sister. She had
promised Willie brand new pair of pants, and
she got them. Her money seemed to hold out
so well in this wonderful store, she bought a
necktie for her ewa dear Tom, a shoulder cape
for grandmother, underclothes for Lucy, and a
dozen other nick nacks too numerous to men
ton. She counted her change and found she
had fully enough TO purchase a bonnet for her
self. 80 l can accompany Tom TO church on

THE ARCHITECT AND THE DEVIL
A Strange Superstition That Has
Firm Hold in Northern Europe.

A Strange Superstition That Has q
Firm Hold in Northern Europe.
From the CornhiH Magazine.
ALI over the north of Europe the greatest
aversion is felt to be the first to enter a new
building or go over a newly-built bridge.
If to do this is not thought everywhere and
in all cases to entail death, it is considered
supremely unlucky. Several German
legends are connected with this supersti-
ton. The reader, If he has been to Aix-la-
Chapelle, has doubtless had the rift in the
great door pointed out to him, and has been
told how it came there. The devil and the
architect made a compact that the first
should supply the plans and the second gain
the kudos; and the devils pay was to be the
first who crossed the threshold when the
church was built
When the building was nearly complete
the architects conscience smote him, and he
confessed the compact to the bishop.
"We'll do him." said the prelate; that is TO
say, he said something to this effect in
terms more appropriate to the century in
which he lived and to his high ecclesias-
teal Office. When the procession formed to
enter the structure for the conservation the
devil lurked in ambush behind pillar, and
fixed his wicked eye on fine fat and sue
culent little chorister as his destined prey.
But, alas for his hopes this fat little boy
had been given his instructions, and, as he
neared the great door, loosed the chain of
a wolf and sent it through. The evil one
uttered howl of rage, snatched up
the wolf, and rushed away, giving
the oak door a kick that split it as he
passed.
