his shoes.
"Ain't she picture ?" asked the wife,

Cant we keep her?" Mary began,
wistfully; "her little clothes was in the
basket and her food in a tin can, an
this note says about her."
John read the note, spelling it out,
and absorbing it's meaning slowly.
Il guess we kin keep her eff we want

Mary went on, for Mary was romantic
in her notions.

moved together to the door and out into

John was moist about the eyes ant
happy at his heart. He took new ant

present and future, his home, the sky

planned and wondered what Pressi,
would be like when she grew up. They

John went off to his work, and Mary's

twilight deepening into lauguorous,
fower-scented night.
"Yer fiow'rs is doin' pretty Wen,
Mary" he began, presently. Mary had
been crouched on the step, her elbows

hands. and she had been so long silent

the silence grew around them again.
There's the down express" John vol
nnteered after long pause. A puff
of smoke rose over the cutting beyond
the bridge, the headlight leaped into
sight, the whistle scrceched it's warning
and the train Numbered by, its window
lights shooting in and out on the curve
like sparks tossed on hurricane.
There they Co." Mary said, envious-
'ly, comm here an goin' there, SEEM

place like the powders over on the

Her tone was hard, the infection was
u complaining one.
Il guess you git pretty lonely, some
days." John ventured, letting his chair
down on its front legs, and putting his
hand on his wife's shoulder in half
clumsy caress.
"Oh! it's awful, john" she said,
brokenly, taken off her guard by the
tenderness, when I've washed an
cleaned myself an there amt nothin'

promptly, "fer she's allus braggin'

'How many hev they got?" asked the
husband, carelessly.
-Four" the childless woman at his
side whispered.
Mary had been a tailoress before she
was married. She was ambitious be-
yond her fellow-workers, deft with her
needle, quick with her tongue, and she
dreamed of future far different than
