But he couldn't find the pocketbook.
Perhaps Polly took cold the day she
went where Aunt Why was unpacking.
She had sore throat, and wore fan
nei around her neck for two weeks.
The next time she went to her grand
mothers 1t was Christmas. There was
roast goose for dinner and all kinds
of pie. Ben was there. He had never
found his zen cents. If he had, he
,uld perhaps have bought a sugar
dove for Polly.
While the folks sat around the fire
talking, Polly, perched in a tall chair
with nothing to do, had sudden mem.
DRY.
She got down, ran to the kitchen
closet, and saw the sugar bowl. It had
buttons and alum and broken Spool
in it, but Polly was not to be imposed
upon.
"Caddy! caddy! caddy!" she cried,
running up and down.
Its the old tea-caddy that she
wants." said grandma.
That's in the other closet. We keep
nutmegs in it," said Aunt Why.
"Pep'mints! mine pep'mints!" clam
ored Polly.
The caddy was brought, and sure
enough when she thrust her little hand
under the nutmegs she found her pep
PERMITS and pulled out the recipe for
mangoes.
There. Mrs. Gray wanted thatw sx-
claimed grandma.
And now Ben was putting his own
hand in. Yes, there it was! his peck
etbook and his ten cents!
"Well, I declare!" said Aunt Why.
Ben sat down to consider. 1t was
now too late for Christmas. but he
might do something for New Years
He had heard Aunt Why talk about
calls and cards.
Only the day before boy who had q
printing press had offered to print
cards. twenty-five for ten cents, and
every card was to have a picture Of a
flower or Bird upon it.
"Ill buy cards." thought Ben, and he
went at once to find the boy. -.-..-,...-
On New Years Day Ben. clean and
shining, called Polly into the par.

I'm making calls" he said. "This
is your call. Choose the card you like
best"
Polly was delighted. She picked out
the prettiest card, with "Mr. Benja-
min Dotten" and pair of doves upon
it.
Then Ben went forth from neighbor
to neighbor impartially. He was very
successful. lie met with smiles every
where, and in some places he met with
apples and New Years cakes. Every
body seemed glad to receive a card
with "Mr. Benjamin Dotten" upon it,
together with picture
When it came to the last he hest
tated. He was tired and wanted to go
home. 1t seemed to him he would
rather SEQ his good, kind grandmamma
than anybody else in the world. The
last card had roses upon 1t.
I'll call on grandma" he said, and
running home he made his best bow to
the dear old lady, and handed her his
card.
You never saw any one so pleased.
For more than week she showed the
card Of "Mr. Benjamin Dotten" to
every neighbor that came in. and when
the excitement was entirely over, she
put it away for safe-kesping tn the tea.
