pence the week following Thanksgiving.
A neighbor had gone four miles to
town early in the morning; had col
lected the letters and done the errands
for the neighborhood, and on his return
stopped outside the gate and called,
"Nanl Mani Where be yer?-where be

hing for the Katcbpence family to
have letter. "They don't seem to

aud true it was that an excitement pre-
vailed which we, who receive letters

Nan left her foor-mopplng to take

all the children gathered about her;
each in turn took the letter, looked at
the writing, the post-mark, the stamp,
he six lines which reached from the
Boston postmark to the postage-stamp,
felt it, turned it on the other side, then

wondered how she could have letter

hen she confessed to the family how
she had hidden the brown-paper note
beneath the turkeys wing. She

Little Nan studied hard at school,
and the letters that she wrote to Boston
were showing signs of it; the words
were written more evenly, and the
spelling was more correct, than in the
Thanksgiving letter. And each time
she wrote she tried SO hard to have it
just right; and she was writing often in
these days, for there came to her many
tender messages and loving thoughts at
Christmas-time, and later on, at Saint
Valentines and Easter, pretty hand.

when the warm days come, two pretty
summer gowns and ''love" of a hat
were sent to Nan. Every one was glad
for little Nan; all the neighbors shared
in her happiness; the postmaster felt
somehow as if he were the cause of her
happiness, because he handled all those
welcome letters and parcels first.
