They stood on the floor until recess.

Emily" she said. Suppose Comfort
shouldn't be able to get that ring
on her finger after she's 8 years old
what pity twould be, when it's real
gold, too"
But when Comfort was years old
she was very small for her age, and
she could actually crowd two of her
fingers, the little one and the third,

to let her wear it so, but she wold not.

CHAPTER I.

One of the first things which Com
fort remembered being told was that
she had been named for her Aunt Com
fort who had given her gold ring and
gold dollar for her name. Comfort
could not understand why. 1t always
seemed to her that her aunt and not
she had given the name, and that she
should have given the ring and the dol
lar, but that was what her mother had
told her. your Aunt Comfort gave
you this beautiful gold ring and this
gold dollar for your name" said she.
The ring and the dollar were kept in
Mrs. Pease's little rosewood work box,
which she never used for needlewOrk,
but as repository for her treasures.
Her best cameo brooch was in there,
too, and lock Of hair Of Comforts
baby brother, who died.
one of Comforts chiefest delights
was looking at her gold ring and gold
dollar. When she was very good her
mother would unlock the rosewood box
and let her see them, She had never
worn the ring; 1t was much too large
for her. Aunt Comfort and her mother
had each thought that 1t was foolish to
buy a gold ring that she could out
grow. "If 1t We're a camelian ring /
