do you say?"
"What?'
OF course it was soon arranged.
Their little goods were mostly sold al.
ready. They could pack the few re-
naming while Miss Onner went on for
Lucy Wilton, and Jacob could come
the next day and carry their remain
ing possessions up the hill.
The poorhouse was near the village,
a half mile distant; but, on her way.
Miss Onner turned little aside to see
Tom Shannon's three little children
The neighbor who had them in charge
was very talkative.
They'll have good homes in no
time" she said; they're SO pretty and
bright. There's one or two spoken al
ready, but the minister's looking for
the best Christian folks to take them.
Their folks were that kind, you know.
OF course if they could all go together
'twould be nice, but they can't -'tisn't
likely"
Miss Onner looked ut the three
bright faces-there was the curly
hair too-then she kissed them all
and, turning away, climbed again
into her wagon, feeling verv much as
if she had just closed the coffin lid over
some of her beloved.
"But I hadn't any call-really, II
leads this way" she whispered to her
sore heart. and then, at the poorhouse
gate, forgot all in the great Joy it was
hers to give.
The westering sun fell softly over
the plain wagon as it rolled slowly mp
the hills home again. Miss Onner sat
up straight and square driving, while,

grew brighter, and brighter. ss she

Uncle Silas says he's fond of johnny

what they want, Jacob. They're mine
now. I've adopted them" and Jacob
was wise enough, after that tone, to
keep his lips closed so long as his mis-
tress' ears were within hearing.
But as he led away Billy, Miss Onner
fumbled with the gate latch for more
than minute, as though it were hard
to close.

she turned.
There was Miss Lucy, halfway up
the walk, with her face close down to
the dahlia heads was she kissing
them?--while at the door of their new
home stood the two aged ones, waiting,
hand in hand, in great peace and con-
tent; and over all fell softly the level

"Well, / never!" This excla nation
fell from the lips of young and mex
perienced salesgirl in a large dry goods
store. The cause had been the approach
of tall, well-dressed gentleman, who,
in low tone of voice and with a per-
ceptible blush. asked for box of safety
pins. ITO think" continued the girl,
that a woman would be mean enough
to send her husband to buy safety pins
for the baby"
Baby, nonsenser' cried an older girl
at the same counter. You're green
enough to make a salad of. Why, that
man bought those safety pins for his
own use. Men use them in many ways
First they put one through the top of
their trousers and catch the band of
their flann lis to hold them up snugly-
sometimes one on each side. Then
men with sloping shoulders put safety
pins through their suspenders so as to
hold them from slipping off Other
men, who do great deal of writing,
use small safety pin to hold the cuffs

Their hands. They simply make tuck
above the elbow and set the safety
there. Some men, too, use safety pins
to hold their socks up. My mother
keeps boarding-house, and there isn't
a man among the board rs who doesn't
have safety pins lying about his room
If d button comes off and he's in a
hurry. safety pin holds things to-
gethcr for the time being. If that man
had been married ami buying for the
baby he wouldn't have blushed; he
would have been used to women; but
he's an old bachelor, and that's the
reason he got red in the face"
The young and inexperienced sales
girl was speechless; she could only look

thanks for having it impaired unto
