The smart-looking agent with tba

had just laid his hand on the gate

when the snub-nose boy, who was care
fully spreading a banana peel onNthe
sidewalk, remarked:
Say, mister, did you notice that
woman in the yard with the red hair
and spectacles and a clothes pin in
her mouth, who kicked the dog in the
ribs few mlnues ago?"
II did, sonny" said the agent,
"Was you gOin' in there and knock
at the door, and when she came out
was you goin' to smile and say: Good
morning, miss, is your mamma at
homer just to make her feel like you
thought she was about 10 or 10 years
old?"

said the agent, with a slight blush.

A twinkle danced in Miss Margaret's

response in Lena's heart, and her little
white hands moved unconsciously to
clasp each other; now can only hope

Then she came suddenly out Of this
little ectasy and said:

Granville Gazette yesterday, and it is

She took a folded newspaper from
her pocket, opened 1t and read:

new or very original, but Lena was
treating it with wonderful power for a
young artist. She had worked faith

an artist born. Her father had been
