Confession.

Dear pussy love you, an rs your true friend
Cause I saved you whip ping to day,
When cook missed her custard, and everyone said
1t was puss that had stealed 1t away.
You know you naughty sometimes, pussy dear,
So in course you got blamed, an all that
An cook took stick, an cared she would beat
The thief out that mizzabe catl
But I-didn't feel comfortable down in my heart
So saved you the whippin', you see,
Cause went to mamma, an telled her 'spect
She'd better tell cook to whip me.
Cause the custard was steaed by a bad little girl
Who felt dreffely sorry with shame,
An it wouldn't be fair to whip pussy, in COURSE
When that bad little girl was to blame!
Was it my little girle2' my dear mamma said
1 felt dreffely scared, but nodded my head
An then mamma laughed. " Go find nurse, for
guess
There's some custard to wash off little girls
dress"
Well then, course they knew
1t was l, an not you,
Who stealed all the custard, an then ran away.
But its best to be true
In the things that we do,
An'-that's how saved you a spankin' to-day.

But he'll aays find me waitln', we both of us
Till he handles out the letter that my Johnny wrote
to me.
But month ago he halted, sort o. shakin' of his

An he whispered: Little mother Pm afraid the

There's a lot of things will happen Just within

An it's possible the young un may be waitn now

But says; "You do not know him. Johnny's full

You will catch him dyin' till he writes line

Johnny come to me evenin', an he twined into
my arm;
An he says: 81 amt adapted to stony mountain

Richard Thorne, when the departure of

shading the freight from her face with
a screen of barbaric grandeur; while
Thorne stared straight into the glow
and bit his straw colored moustache.
"Out with it," encouraged Mrs.
Vavasour, with CLEAN of kindly
amusement in her eyes.
Well" said Richard Thorne,
plainly pulling himself together, "it's

She watched him curiously in the ST.

went to sea, and she married Tom Vav-

"Of course, you're awfully glad o.

the next remark.

Then came a silence, while Thorn,

And rocky heights the tone' were backward diDgng

And tossed it back with mocSng air
And hurried leaping bound.
