The story the other day about the
pious little boy who tried to walk on the
water in the bath-tub recalls another of
an equally piouS little girl. She was
eight years old and lived in the country.
She had started one day rather late for
school with another little girl about her
own age. On their way they caught a
glimpse of clock dial through an open
door. 1t lacked five minutes of nine.

social circle up town. She had been on
visit to her grandfather, and while

caressingly over the old gentleman's
scant locks, he murmured drowSily, in
reply to some infantile remark "I eS,
Pm your poor old bald-headed grand
father"
One evening, not long afterwards, a
young-old bachelor was making call
on the family, towards certain MEM
Der of which, only eighteen and decid-
eddy pretty, he inclined with very ten
der feelings. Into the pleasant circle
where the bachelor sat flashing bright
nothings of society talk, entered the
four-year-old. Unseen by the gentle
man she sauntered around the room in
interest on his polished scalp which
cleaned in the light of the chandelier.
Suddenly, with a burst of ingenious
sociability, she threw herself on his
knee and exclaimed: Whose poor old
bald-headed grandfather are you?"
