MIR JANEwAY TOOK HER ON HIS KNEE

gave you all had to give-my money,
my love, my toll"
Before Mr.. Janeway could answer she
was gone, and he sat alone.
The next day, however, he took the
old photograph down and ordered for
it gorgeous frame. When it was re-
turned, he hung it in his library, where
it looked strangely alien between St.
Cecilia and the Arabian Falconer,
bought at the instigation of the archi-
tect.

rounded the ugly, good face. What
have you done to the lady?" she asked.
Aren't you going to pack her away, as
mamma said?''

Yes; you said it was your first wife"
Mr.. Janeway took her on his knee.
''Florry," he began, soberly, when l
was a little boy, L was very poor, as poor
as the Galts"-a family celebrated in
the town for i'll luck and poverty. Il
went to school when 1 could, but that
was mighty little, for l had to work
most of the time. Sometimes I'd get
most discouraged, but 1 had to work
just the same. One year worked for
a man named Deering. He had a daugh-
ter, and when she found how much
wanted to go to school, she lent me
some money-money she had saved by
pinching and scraping. After awhile
her father died, and she married me. ]
had nothing, and she owned a good
farm, but she married me. In six years
she died and left everything to me.
She gave me my start. She was good
v oman, and believed in me when no
body else did. The other night papa
dreamed that he saw her and talked to
her, and it made him feel ashamed that
he had seemed to forget her"
Mr.. Janeway felt that he was making
a handsome reparation, but he was
man who aimed to do right. 1t was nee
essary to his self-esteem.
The child wriggled from his arms and
walked away, with an awed glance al
the picture.
Mr.. Janeway stared at it musingly.
Are you satisfied now, Sarah?'' he
caught himself saying. "Pshaw! That
dream holds to me still" he exclaimed,
but, anyhow, I've done her Justice
And though the architect declared
that the photograph quite spoiled the
effect of the library, and begged that it
might be banished to some back room.
Mr.. Janeway was firm. and the dull,
good face of his first wife kept its place
between the st. Cecilia and the Arabian
Falconer.-ChiCago News

long enough to be dangerous it is yet
a waste of muscle to draw loads up the

rushing down on the other side.

road may circle about the foot of it and

Then there are many ill-laid-out roads

This is generally done to make the
road conform to the farm boundaries.
