You ought to be ashamed of your
self, Jane. I've been a good aunt to
you; and, as for the school, | never
touched thing. l put my hands in
my muff, and sat just so, and made
pint of it. And it's nothing much to
make fuss over. l took it almost

gentleman that knowed was the
clergyman, and says he: Walk in,
ma am, and wait for the rain to be
over. There's fire in the vestry. And
he left me before the CRATE in the
incest little room. And waited until
the streets were dry. The sexton came
and talked to me, and told how they'd
been a wOrkin' there, and they'd just
gone. And somehow, when got into
the street, this was under my shawl"

she spoke she unfolded her shawl and
tossed upon the table dingy leathern

marked in black letters:

ION the 10Th of June, by me, Oliver
Sparkle, Capt. Richard Murphy to
Jane Dinler. spinster, Of the town of
Cumminseed, n. j.
W ltneSS-B. BrltJerS, Olerk.
When Jane Murphy arose from the
floor she was an altered woman. Proof
of her matron dignity and of her boys
birthright was in her hands, and be-
fore the next sunset all Cumminseed
knew the truth. The pastor of st.
Grace's came from New York at her
summons to swear to his book and his
deceased predecessors signature, and
legal proceedings were instituted to re-
store the widow to her rights OF
course they were successful.
To-day no one is more respected in
all Cumminseed than Mrs Capt. Muir
ply, although She has me- er quite for
given her neighbor's cruelty. And Aunt
DinlIer, growing quite old and unable
to go abroad, INDUCES her singular
propensity by stealing napkins from
the linen press. There is good in all
things, Jane Murphy often says. She
never will deny that since such great
good came to her of old Aunt Dinl1er's
kleptomania.- Toledo Blade.

would have got her into trouble. But
Cumminseed was used to Miss Dinker.
When she visited the village store, and
put piece of tape up her sleeve, the
watchful shopman added its price to
her bill. When she took a neighbours
forks the neighbor sent polite mes
sage to Miss Jane Dinker to have them
restored and Miss Jane, who was old
Miss Diuker's niece, would find them
up chimney or down cellar, and restore
them.
Old Miss Dinker knew that she was
deserving of blame in thus indulging
her desire for stolen fruit, but as she
often remarked when reasoned with,
''she couldn't help it."
She was a generous old lady, too,
and kindly, and if she taught Jane
that man was deceiver and that
spinsterhood was blessed she meant
well.
Capt. Richard Murphy told another
story when his ship lay in port, and he
himself rested at a little hotel in Cum
minseed. And Jane, won over by his
merry voice and jolly ways, forgot her
aunt's precepts, and one day ran away
with him, leaving penitent little note
for her aunt and begging her forgive
Tess
The old lady was naturally indig-
nant, but when, three days after, the
captain brought Jane back under his
arm, established her IN beautiful lit
tie house, which he had purchased.
and sent for the old lady to make up"
Miss Dinker relented, took tea with
her niece and deigned to approve of
her choice, and so the village scandal
was silenced for awhile, and people
called on Mrs, Capt. Murphy.
They lived together for five years in
great contentment and little boy
was born to them, and all went pros
perously; but at the end of that time
the sword that always hangs by hair
over the head of a seafaring mans life
fell at last. The captains vessel was
wreck. and the captain and crew
persisted in mid-Ocean, and Jane after
hoping against hope, and refusing to
believe when no one else doubted, and
listening night and day for a step that
came not and could never come. accept
ed the truth at last and put on her
widows cap and took the awful truth
in place of suspense, and tried to live
and bear it for her boys sake.
Then there came from some far-off
place man who proved himself the
captains brother and who claimed his
property, alleging that Jane Dinller
had never been married to John at all.
Jane was furious, but she could only
vow that a clergyman of the Episcopal
church had married her. She could
not remember the name of the church
nor of its pastor, nor had she what the
brother called FER lines" The mar
riage certificate, as she declared, the
captain always kept among his private
papers and had taken to sea with him.
She advertised in a New York paper
for the clergyman who had performed
the service, but no answer came and
finally the law and popular opinion
declared that the widow had never
been wife and she was left poverty
stricken and helpless, and not a friend
in the world but old Miss Dinller. She
came out nobly.
Alas! all the rest of Cumminseed held
contrary opinion. They shuddered
at the thought of having associated
with such a creature, and wondered
how she had dared to impose upon
them SO. They sent her to Coventry

Decided Not to Keep the Dog.
''Some people, remarked Mr.. Bitter
sweet, as he entered his fat, do not
deserve to have pets, indeed they
should not be allowed to possess them.
They fondle and indulge them until
they become regular nuisances and
then probably forget all about them
and let them shift for themselves. "
Mrs. Bittersweet, as she acquiesced
to this TRADE, wondered what her hus-
band meant by it, but she did not ask,
for she knew she would find out sooner
by holding her peace.
Then ne lighted the gas and she saw
that he had pretty little dog under
his arm.

he said. Il found him at the street
door whining and evidently half dead
with cold and hunger"
20, the dear little fellow! May l
keep him, JASON"
BY all means. The owner who was
SO careless of him deserves to lose
him"
20, isn't he sweet? | shall take ex-

much company for me. What shall
call him."
Il don't know-Fido is a pretty
name"

''For my part | shall call him Fido.

you should be called that. l shall name

Then the hired girl rushed upon the
scene; 20, ma am, such time as they
are having in the fiat below" she cried
The lady as has just moved in has
lost her dog. She was startin' out with
him for walk a bit ago and just
stepped back for her key. While her
back was turned somebody stole him,

her husband telephonin' to tn police

That will do, Julia" said Mr.. Bit
tersweet with great dignity You may
return to the kitchen. Mrs. Bitter
sweet and myself take no interest in
gossip concerning the neigh borhood."
There was a long pause. Then his
wife said:
after all, Jason, a dog in fat is
great nuisance. Perhaps you had bet
ter just put the little fellow out in the
hall; he may be able to find his way
home
And Mr.. Bittersweet replied gravely:
81 believe you are quite right, my
dear and he did as his wife suggested,
remarking as he closed the door: Il
don't care much for that breed of a
dog, anyhow"
And presently the hysterical screams

Children's Day.

Children's day was kept in happy
remembrance, through the untiring
efforts of Mrs. Beggs, the Superin-
tendent of the Sabbath school, de-
spite the heavy rain in the morning,
necessitating the postponement of
the exercises until evening, which
were held in honor of the children.
The church was tastefully decor
ated with profusion of flowers. Ow-
ing to the unpleasant weather a
smaller audience than usual convened !;
but all present manifested deep in
terest in the exercises, though the
number Of scholars was less than the
regular attendance, the interest taken
by those present made up for the alb
sentees. The recitations were well
selected and of much credit, showing
the discipline acquired through their
last weeks training, to have been of
great worth. The music was of it's
usual excellence, by the choir, and
the children sung remarkably we'll,
as they always do when the process
of exercising has been conducted by
Mr.. Muir.
