Despues de haber andado mucho camino,

la cual no tenia otra cosa de particular que

Clifford was bending toward him, his
eyes gloating upon his victim. had
not thought the man carried SO much
malice in his heart and for moment
| liked him the less for it. But only
for moment Montgomery suddenly
started.
"1 have one thing more, he said,
the promise of Rachel Morris to be
my wife. If l lose now, leave you
a clear field
Clifford rose quietly from the table.
"'You hear this, gentlemon?' he
said. This cur has dragged the name
of lady into n game of cards. This
hound,' he paused, thought to give
the other chance to resent his words
this hound, he repeated slowly, has
managed to get Dan Morris in his
debt. He has agreed to cancel the OBJ
legations if his daughter would marry
him This, the brave girl, in a mo-
mcnt of despair, consented to do. This
cur he paused again, holds her to
this promise. And now he offers it as
a stake upon game of cards.
Clifford seemed to grow in stature
as he spoke, and the otter to shrink to
the proportions of pygmy. When he
had finished he took the money he had
won, and the checks, and twisted them
together and threw them into Mont
gomery's face Then he went to the
door and opened it.
" Col! he said; and the fellow skunk
out like whipped dog.
you want the end of the story?
Well, it is brief The clubs action was
prompt, and Montgomery is no longer
a member
And Rachel Morris, did you say?
Oh, yes. Here are wedding cards. She
is to be married to Clifford this even
ing. must go and dress. l am to be
best man. That is my reward for re-
naming an old beau"
think it would have been more true
If he had said this was one of his re-
wards, for can see that he has many.
So many men befriended, so many
women made happy by acts of unself
ish devotion, have given q crown to
his years of more woi Gh than the
CROWDS that kings wear If it be as
have guessed, that the life of the old
fellow has known some sorrow, it is
certain that it now knows much hap
piness. But now, as / look at him
more closely before we part, l think
perhaps he is not so old as he has
sometimes seemed to me.

THE eAsYS LAYErTE.


Articles That Are Necessary to Make tie
Little Beings Comfortable.
Everyone has a different idea of what
the wardrobe for the little baby should
consist. The babies themselves are
pretty much alike in their require
ments, and so it seems that they might
be governed by one simple rule.
The foundation is generally the same,
but the variations are found in the diff
ferent forms of elaboration md eX-
pense. In this article l want to tell
what is necessary to make the baby
comfortable and how to arrange for it.
We viii begin with the bands-the first
article of clothing that is put on the
baby.
THESE, of course, are made of flannel.
They want to be made from nice
piece, at about 65 cents a yard, and
should be torn in strips fifteen inches
long and five inches wide; six are
enough. Do not turn down the edges,
for even that little hem is rough for
the baby's skin. If any decoration is
wanted buttonhole them along both
sides with white silk. That is all that
is necessary.
The incest shirts are those made
of silk and wool mixed, high
nccked and long sleeved. These should
button all the way down the front. 1t
is much easier to put them on when
they button in that way, and saves put
ting over the head, which the baby
always dislikes. They can be bought
for 81. Is apiece. Six is generous sup
ply, and two can be bought a size larger
than the other four, which should be
the smallest size. A less expensive
skirt that is very good is of cotton and
wool mixed, for about 65 cents.
Next come the barrow skirts. These
are made with cambria walstband,
inches deep and 16 inches long. Tho
flannel is gathered in at the bottom OF
the band, and should be about 25 inches
long. 1t is left open all the way up,
and is bound with flannel binding all
around the edge. The same quality
flannel as used for the bands will do
for these. There should be six. Babies
as n rule, do not wear the barrow Skirts
longer than the first three months.
Then they will need the flannel skirts,
which do not differ very much. They
are larger, and do not open up the
front, and are generally embroidered
around the bottom. There is no better
or prettier way to finish flannel than
to work it in this way. OF course it is
much less expensive to buy the flannel
and have it stamped and do it yourself
than it is to buy the flannel already
embroidered. If it is ''winter baby"
good plan is to make the band of the
skirt also of flannel. These skirts
should be quite full to look nicely

A gray-haired and wrinkled Italian
organ grinder, after turning out scv-
eral popular melodies in front of n
Brooklyn grocery store, doffed his old
hat and bowed himself TO the store
door, where the proprietor, who appar-
emily had enjoyed the serenade, was
standing. The Italian extended his
hat and smiled. The grocer felt in his
pocket and said: Il haven't penny"
The Italians smile deepened. He
fished four cents out of a jingling vest
pocket and handed them to the grocer,
who, with smile broader than that
Illuminating the organ grinders
bronzed countenance, produced nickel
and handed it to the italian. A throng
of little school girls who had seen the
transaction sent up shout of laugh
ter, in which the grocer joined with

A TABLE COVER IN PURE WHITE.

white wash silk. The large figures in
the corners are purely conventional,
and are worked with heavy silk. The
braid is put on precisely as already de-
scribed, but with white in place of col
ored floss.
The edge of the cloth is finished with
wide hem, simply hemstitched, and
the whole has the rare merit of laun-
dering perfectly and without need of
special care.
Beautiful as colored embroidery UNI
questionably is, it has the disadvantage
of requiring the greatest care. Even
the wonderful wash dyes must be
treated with respect; and, as every
houselecper knows, it is difficult to re-
move tea and coffee stains without hot
ter water and more soap than they al
low. The pure white covers are, there
fore, steadily growing in favor, and as
this one has the merit of being effective
without being exacting, it deserves a
hearty recognition from all busy WON.

Some Points About Pins.

Thorns were originally used in fast
ening garments together. Pins did not
Immediately succeed thorns as fasten-
ers, but different appliances were used,
such as hooks buckles and laces 1t
was the latter half of the fifteenth
century before pins were used in Great
Britain. When first manufactured in
England the iron wire, of the proper
length, was fled to point, and the
other extremity twisted into head
This was slow process, and four or
five hundred pins was a good days
work for an expert hand. The United
States has the credit of inventing the
first machine for making pins. This
was in 1924. The inventor was ono
