middle finger of her left hand. Rosy
was a fair, pretty little girl, with long,
light curls, which all the other girls ad-
mired. and begged for the privilege of
twisting. Rosy at recess usually had
one or two of her friends standing at
her back twisting her soft curls over
their fingers.
Rosy wore pretty gowns and aprons
too, and she was always glancng down
to see If her skirt was spread out nice
ly when she sat on the bench. Her
sister, Matilda, had just as pretty
gowns, but she was not pretty herself.
However she was a better scholar. al
though she was a year younger, That
day she kept glancing across Comfort
at her sister and her black eyes
twinkled angrily. Rosy sometimes sat
with her left hand pressed affectedly
against her pink check, with the ring
finger bent slightly outward. and then
she held up her spelling book before
her with her left hand, and the same
ostentatious finger.
Finally Matilda lost her patience. and
she whispered across Comfort Pease

lips and u black twinkle of her eyes.
Rosy looked at her and the pink

ring wiggled at the back of 1t.

"Smell of It."
Rosy crooked her arm around her
face, and began. to cry. However, she
cried quite easily, and everybody was
accustomed to seeing her fair head bent
over the hollow of her arm several
times day. 80 she created no excite
ment at all. Even the school teacher
simply glanced at her and said nothing.
The school teacher was an elderly wo-
man who had taught school ever since
she was sixteen. She was called very
strict, land the little girls were all
afraid of her. She could ferrule a boy

months he weighed only seven
pounds. Nothing strengthened
or fattened him. I began using

"Why don't she wear it them de-
manded one of the girls. She had very
red cheeks and her black hair was in
two glossy braids, crossed and pinned
at the back of her head, and surmount-
ed by her mothers shell comb she had
let her wear to school that day. She
had come out to recess without her
hood to show it.
She's waiting fop her hand to grow
to it," explained Matilda, to whom Com
fort had slyly whispered the whole
story.
Hold up your hand" ordered the big
girl, and Comfort held up her little
hand, pink and cold.

girl, and she adjusted her shell comb.

big girl in an audible whisper

Comfort went to school when she was
10 years old; she had not begun as
early as most of the other girls, be-
cause she lived three-quarters of mile
from the schoolhouse and had many
sore throats. The doctor had advised
her mother to teach her at home, and
she could do that because she had been
a teacher herself when she was girl.
Comfort had not been to school one
day before everybody in it knew about
her gold ring and her dollar, and 1t
