the girls to become Daughters of the
King, and do good all their lives, ex-
planning that every girl could be
Daughter of the King, no matter what
her condition of life.
Cash Twenty. seven went to bed think
ing about the two kinds of princesses,
and said to herself: Now can be
princess if want to. How the girls'd
laugh if | should tell EN- that! There
amt any club of ten that would want
me, and | amt by no means sure that
I'd want the other nine! I'd feel kind of
mean to stand up an say before EN- all,
/ couldn't do very much, but tied up
Rattle Ryan's arm when she hit it, an !
gave lady back the purse she lost in
the store-l wanted it awfully tool
IN took Maggie F!ynn's work
IN my noon hour, cause she had
headache, an running hurt her, an
gave Winnie Shea half my dinner
cause it r;lined too hard for her to go
out an get some, an she was too near
late to stop for it in the mornin I'd
look nice sayin' all that to EN-, wouldn't
|, nows That's the kind o thing they
told, though settin the table when
Mary had a headache an pickin' the
baby out o the gutter, an tying up his
leg where he hurt it,! | don't see the
sense O tellin' things like that Any
one'd do EN-, an don't see the use o
maxim such fuss about it. I'm bound
to be princess, an can't be the other
kind, so I'll be this kind, but I'll be it on
my own hook, an not go Dragging
about it to any ten! | guess the
lingll know all about it, if do all the
things can I'll have badge, though,
an wear it round my neck on string.
It'll be just the first shiny ten cent piece
get, nice new one. Patti put hole
through it for me at the blacksmith's
shop. shant have any fees, so I'll just
have to do the things that don't cost
money There's lots of 'em. | can't
help the little Cashes, and not sass the
clerks, an be quick, an careful not to
knock into folks. Oh, theren be ways
enough" and after little Cash Twenty
seven was asleep, dreaming of being
turned into golden princess, who was
always setting tables and eating thick
pieces of pie.
In the morning she awoke with sense
of something new and pleasant that was
going to happen, and in moment she
remembered her plan of being prin-
cess" and she began to practice it at
once by dressing quickly and helping
aer mother get the scant breakfast. Then
she hurried away to the shop and worked
hard all day to keep pleasant and not
answer back" when the tired statesmen
and women scolded or blamed unneces-
sarily She helped the other girls as
much as she could, but had done nothing
that seemed to be worthy of princess.
Several days passed thus, and she be-
| gan to think that she couldn't ''be this
kind of a princess" either, when, one
rainy Saturday, her chance came.
A lady, who was hurrying for her
| train, dropped her purse and small
parcel just as Cash Twenty seven was
| passing with some change and saw them
fall. Picking them up she ran after the
lady and reached her at the door, STUN
bling and falling against sharp corner
as she did so. The lady was very CRATE
| full, and. seeing that the child's arm was
| grazed, she said: Take this and get
some plaster for yourself. cannot stop
to do it up for you, or should lose my
train. but / am very sorry you hurt you
ou my account"
So saying she gave Cash bright new
lime and hurried away.
There's my badge" said Cash joy
fully, and wrapping it in a bit of paper
she put it into her pocket until Pat
should put hole through it."
| At the noon hour small, timid, sick
looking Cash came up to her and said,
Say, Twenty-seven, will you lend me
ten centsE
Ten cents! Do you take me for Jor-
dan and Marsh? What do you want of
ten cents. anyhow:" asked the princess
Maggie Murphy an me, we amt had
no breakfast, nor no supper last night,
| an we amt got cent to get any dinner
with, an you're somehow different to
the others, an | says to Maggie, Pm
going to ask Twenty-seven to lend me
ten cents She's kinder'n the other girls.
An Maggie, she says to me, 1 wouldn't,
then. says she 'Twenty-seven's one of
the big ones, an she'll only jaw yer
SAYS she. But knew you'd speak easy,
even if you wouldn't lend me the dime,
an so came"
Cash Twenty-seven looked into the APP
pealing eyes turned up to hers, and her
hand went to her pocket-it went very
slowly, but it went-and after a mo-
ment's silence she said: Il amt got but
dime, but you can have that. A lady
gave it to me for finding her purse this
morning"
