Pm Going over to Collins for that
pattern, Sallie," remarked Miss Bette
at last, taking her hat from the shelf in
the closet.
After she left Miss Sallie sat sewing
for few moments, then she, too, put
on her hat.
There amt no harm in goin' to in
quire," she said slowly.
She put her sewing away, and lock-
ing the door, placed the key under the
door-mat. A short cut across the fields
brought her to the stone house. The
chickens were running about in the
yard, and an old Jersey COW was feed
ing by the fence.

softly. This time the pronoun was not

She can't talk now, POI chile. Come

" It's ketchin, Miss Bette" said
Mary. "Po' chile, it'll do her lots of

" Bette, go back" said Miss Sallie,
but her sister only opened the door.
and they both went in.
In the gloom they saw the sick,
wasted figure lying in the bed, her gray
hair scattered about on the pillow. She
tried to speak, but sank back, her face
full OF pain and shame.
"You needn't bother" said Miss

The sick woman looked gratefully up
into her face.
Miss Bette laid her hand on her
stepmother's. &C. reckon we was some
to blame" she said.
Nobody had ever heard Miss Bette
acknowledge herself in the wrong be-
fore. A third figure came from beside
the window and joined them. 1t was
Miss Lucinda. She knelt down by
the bed and her sisters followed her
example.
"Our Father" she prayed, " forgive
us our trespasses as we forgive those
who trespass against us, for thine is
the kingdom, the power and the glory,
forever and ever" and the sisters said
" Amen" softly, and the lips of the
sick woman moved as she tried to pro-
nounce the word. Her face was wei
with tears.
For the Lord Jesus Christ's sake"
said Miss Lucinda, and bending down,
she tenderly kissed her stepmother's
hand.-George Hunt, in the New York
Observer.

"Well, you needn't said anything
about her bein' unhappy" said Miss

Miss Lucinda rose. "I'm goin, TO

She went down the neat walk to the
gate and stood leaning on the rail en-

Jim Collins came along on horseback.
"Good evenin', Miss Cindy," he said,
stopping his horse.
{" Good evenin', JIM" returned Miss

into the house.
"Bettie," she announced, entering
the kitchen, She's down with Dip

" WELL" said her sister, in hard
voice, there's some justice in the
world"
"She amt got soul to nurse her
but Mary. Everybody's 'frsid."
" 1t amt none of our business re-
turned Miss Bette, sharply.
" If she'd been different, we'd been
different" remarked Miss Salle, COM
ing to the door, sewing in hand. "She's
reapin' her whirlwind."
Jim Collins asked me if | thought
she was happy now," volunteered Miss
Lucinda, timidly.
Miss Sallie looked at her sister an

piled Miss Lucinda.
All three sisters looked very grave as
they took their places at supper.
1t must be mighty uncomfortable
to be sick by YOURSELF" said Miss
Lucinda, suddenly.
81 wish you'd hush, Cindy,"
answered Miss Bette, impatiently.
Miss Lucinda said no more, and
after supper she and Miss Sallie went
to church, where special services were
being held that week. Miss Bette sat
down on the doorsteps in the warm air.
The freflies were darting about, and
the katydids were making themselves
heard in the trees. Miss Bette was
thinking, and her thoughts were not
pleasant ones.

kept coming into her mind.
Presently her sisters returned. Miss
Lucinda's eyes were red.
"She's worse," she said, and passed
into the house.
Next morning Miss Lucinda did not
come to breakfast.
"She's gone to Clifton for them
things fore it gets hot" remarked Miss
Sallie, noticing the remains of meal
on the kitchen table. Both sisters ate
their breakfast in silence. They seemed
wrapped in thought.

And lacks Its prim solldity;
The 'kerchlef DER our brow we flip
From every pore we ooze and drip,
And all our glee
To miser-ee
Is turned by old Hu ity.
The airs gulf Of sluggish grease,
A surf of OIL a murky fleece;
The agile fly,
Stuck on the pie,
Devours it with avidity;
There's not breeze to stir the leaf

And out Of sorts
The dog cavorts
Froth-sculptured by humidity.

Turn into rain or toilet soap,

Nor grease the pan the chop to fry;

About the tough
Grim demon of Humidity.

II is well known TO all who have taken
the least degree OF interest in the munich
pal election that il was the absorbing am
bition OF ]. j. McGilvra TO see the new
charter adopted. He spared no personal
effort in that direction, and in his public
utterances he declared the adoption or re-
lection OF the charter TO be the supreme
question of the campaign.
The public was therefore surprised to
observe that In Mr.. McGilvra's own pre-
cinct, the Fourth of the Third, only four
out of the FIVE votes which that precinct
musters were cast in favor OF the charter.
The identity of the delinquent voter who
had failed 10 heed Mr.. McGilvras eloquent
appeals was mystery until yesterday.
when the story slowly percolated through
the barriers of secrecy that had been Inn
posed, and was told along the streets. III
was 10 this effect:
Mr.. McGnvra himself, when the momen-
tous instant arrived at which his ballot
was TO be deposited. walked slowly TO the
box, was duly challenged and identified
folded his ballot carefully, and then, as II
escaped from his fingers and receded into
irrecoyerahie depths, he raised his hands
aloft with a dramatic gesture and ex-
claimed, with the deepest emotion: What
shall do? I have forgotten to vote for
the charter"
