investigation concerning our claims
as specialists. All the ARRANGEMENTS
made in the science Of medicine and
surgery during the past few years
have been by the specialists, for the
field Of medicine and surgery is too
great for one man to attempt to grasp
It all. Therefore, II a physician fol-

keyhole. 1t was the Mooka, who had
changed himself into a long strip and
thus could get through a very little
place. AS soon as he was through he
returned to his natural size again and
made for James.
James ran around and lodged him
and escaped into the hall, the Mooka
after him Then he ran down stairs
and through the parlor and sitting
room, and dining room and kitchen, and
every door he went through he bolted
and fastened, so the Mooka had to
change himself into a string every time
in order to get through the keyholes,
and that gave James time enough to
keep out of his clutches.
At last he had run all through the
house and locked every door. His room
was between grandma's and mammals.
The last room he went through was
grandma's, and now he found himself
once more in his own bedroom. He
couldn't get out of this, because, you
see, he had locked the door leading into
mammals room on the other side. What
was he to do? There he was, standing
by his own bed, unable to get away:
and there was the white, thin string
coming through the keyhole, and pretty
soon the old Mooka would be standing
right before him, and then off would
come his little toe. He glanced at the
window, but it was so high from the
ground he was afraid to jump out. He
was in despair. At length a thought
occurred to him. He sprang forward
and caught the end of the string, and
! wound up the Mooka into tight ball.
AS fast as he came through the keyhole
James wound him up, until he had him
all done I'D in little ball, and the
Mooka could not undo himself.
Then he put the ball under his pillow
and went to sleep.
In the morning he was awakened by
hearing his papa say:
"Who bolted this door?"
Then his grandma pretty soon ex-
claimed:
who locked my qoor?"
And all the people in the house won
dered how it came that the doors were
all fastened. But James never said
anything. He looked under his pillow,
and there was white ball of string.
He found his trousers tangled Up in
the bedclothes. and put them on.
After breakfast he went out in the
alley and threw the little toe and The

on the front seat of his handsome
carriage, the horses stepping high
and speeding them over the smooth
roads-Molly sat that morning on a
pinnacle Of happiness and of uplifted
pride.
We'll drive home another way said
Mr.. Arnsworth, when they had mount
ed to the Knob, driven over it, and
settled themselves for the drive home.
Wen drive back by way of Harley
vile; it isn't much out of our way.
I'd like to see your town, Mrs. St.
Clair, and your residence" Mrs. st.
Clair was much pleased.
But Immediately a strange little feel
ing went through Molly like g. flash.
She did not mean it-she did not want
it, but It was there. 1t was a regret
that they were going to drive through
Harleyville. It was a hope that Mr..
Arnsworth would be satisfied with see
ing the st. Clair home, and that he
would not want to see her own. For,
after the st. Glars lively house, what
would he think of it? a mere little
white cottage, with Dams vegetable
garden and his new pig-pen in plain
sightl An uneasy wrinkle gathered in
Molly's forehead.
Molly win want to stop for a min
ute to see her mother" said Mrs. st.
Clair, with the kindest intentions,
when they We're within sight of the
Harleyville church spires.
"Molly's minute would be an hour
1 think we'd better put right through;
it's nearly IL noW-eh, Molly?" said
Mr.. Arnsworth, and Molly nodded
with a guilty relief. Yes, it was re-
lief; she knew it, though she was
ashamed of it. She wondered if Mr..
Arnsworth would drive through their
street? Esther or her mother would
certainly point out the house. No, they
were going through Pike street.
Mr.. Lowry's new east wing is al
most done-look, said Mrs. st. Clair
with interest. But Molly was looking
at something else. In the middle dis
lance, coming up the street, she saw
her brother Dan.
Her first impulse was one of pleas
ure Then, "Oh, dear" she said to her
self; my goodness mel" If it had been
Dan in his best suit, Dan in his red
sweater Dan in any array but that
which Molly,s keen eyes took in with
one look. Dan had on his worst
clothes, his faded old working clothes,
and an old cap perched heedlesslv on
a corner of his head. Nor was that
all. nor the worst; Dan carried a. great
pail, it was the Sour milk that the
Barstows gave him every day for his
pig.
Dan came on, WhiStling. How he did
look, Almost like the stable boy at
the West View. What would Mr.. Arms
worth think, if he knew he was her
brother? Molly. in the pride of her ex-
allied condition, tingled with mortifca-
ton.
And then-how did it happen? Mrs.
st. Clair and Esther did not see Dan,
being intent upon Mr.. Lowry's house
on the opposite side of the street Mr.
Arnsworth did, though, and he smiled
little. Molly saw the smile. She saw,
too, the glad look that flashed into
Dams face at sight Of her; she saw him
stop-and she bit her lip and drew a
breath and looked straight ahead, over
the horses ears.
And the carriage bowled along and
left Dan standing there.

The home which it has established

enough being received to fit out the lit
tie inmates, without the funds of the
society being touched.
The little girls are all trained in do
nestle service, and the boys learn some
trade; but it is not all work and no
play, for very frequently a treat is pre-
pared for their entertainment. Not long
ago the girls had an egg race, while the
boys had sack and potato and a
three-legged race, with piping and
dancing and a feast at the end.
During the summer a flower and
country market is held on the lawn Of
the shelter, when chickens, flowers,
vegetables and eggs, donated by
friends, are sold for the benefit of the
shelter. There is a feast for the chill
dren and much dancing of the highland
fling, the reel O Tulloch and strath-
speys, with prizes for the best perform
ers.
This is always a red-letter day at the
home, and some of the children try to
make an extra long one of it by rising
as early as 8 o'clock; they are, how
ever, promptly sent back to bed until a
more reasonable rising hour.
Lady Clementine Hay is still a very
young girl, not yet 20 years old, and a.
good share of her time, money and
thought are devoted to the league and
to City Sparrows. She is the daughter
of the Marquis and Warehouses Of
Tweedale, who have a lovely home,
'fYester' by name, in Scotland.
