ness? Now, if 1 can be of any service.
1 beg of you to command me-"
Lamby put aside her dignity and
went up to him with very serious lit
tie face. I've come up to see how my
name is written down in the court
house books she said in low tone

and III ask some one to look it up for

Wait a minute" said the little girl
doubtfully. IF it is written down
wrong, and I tell you it is, will you
change it for me?"
The young man opened his eyes wide
in amaZement-
land your business isn't exactly in my
line"
The dignifed surroundings of the
office. and the spectacles. made such
change in the young man that Lamby
was almost afraid of him.
Now, what is your name, please? I'll
write it down and look in the books in
a day or two. If there is anything that
can be done about it I'll let you know"
Lamby went to his side, and after
hesitating for a moment. whispered
softly. Calamity" The young man
started back and covered his face with
both hands. Calamity" he groaned.

With all his will the clerk of the
court struggled to keep from laughing.
and he succeeded.

shaking her head.

he said you'll have to choose a name

books in place of the other. You must

same change is made in the Bible.
Now what shall the new name be?" he
added.
I've always wished my name was
Edith said the little girl.
"A very suitable name said the
young man. and he wrote the name on
a sheet of paper in a large impressive
hand. Wouldn't you like a middle
name or initial TO set it off? You might
as well have everything you want while
it is going?"
Would Imogen be too long? I think
that is a beautiful name" The clerk
of the court looked at her over his
spectacles and smiled appreciatively-

name. Come and see how well it looks
written"
Now, mind you, this is a secret be-

hand. Il believe we are justified in hat

MISS Edith linOSen SOmlnerS Went
tripping down the street and home, so
happy in having accomplished her err
rand that she completely forgot she had
on a borrowed dress.

open the door and dancing across the
room. My name isn't even Lamby

Her mother looked at her in speech

great changei She could hardly recog-

and down the room. while she gave her

were born into this world you do take

when she had finished. Il am glad
enough your name is changed-if it
is she added. TT was never my will
to call you Calamity"
Then Mrs. Sommers went into the
next room and brought out the big BIZ
Bile and taking the eraser rubbed out
the unfortunate name and wrote Edith
ImOgen SOmmerS in its place.

Yes, am; I've got them on, and you
can't help yourself"
She turned and ran out of the door.
Frances dropped the tea towel and
started after her
Come back here with my clothes. or
I'll tell your mother she called.
No boy or girl in the town could run
as fast as Lamby Sommers, and Fran
ces knew it. At the first corner she
stopped with a sideache and gave up
the chase.
As Lamby entered the court house a
young man came out of one of the
offices and crossed the hall to a door on
the opposite side.
He stopped with his hand on the
door knob and gave a low whistle
Why, good morning, Miss SOmmers,"
he said. How fine you are looking this
morning"
Lamby tossed her head.
Il don't look any better than 1 al
ways do when I'm dressed up" she
said.

We'll, I've generally seen you with

past him with her nose In the air.

his pockets. and he caught his hat
from his head.

She pulled open the bureau drawer,
and after studying for a moment, drew
out a daintily rufiied white apron But
when she came to put it on over her
dirty dress il made the dress seem even
more soiled than it had before.
20, dear, 1 wish l had on my best
dress she thought. Il can't go to the
court house looking this way She
wandered aimlessly over to the closet,
and looked in
How may pretty dresses Frances
had; there was new one that Lamby
had never seen before. 1t was a fine
blue India lawn. trimmed with delicate
lace edging. The little girl slipped it
from its hook. and without stopping to
consider whether Frances would be
willing for her to wear the dress. has
tily took off her own dress and put
it on.
It is wonderful what a change a be-
coming dress viii make in any one.
Lamby was quite startled by the sud
den transformation in her appearance.
She strutted up and down before the
glass like little peacock. as she brush
ed out her curly yellow nair.
She went over to Frances pretty rose
decorated washbowl and washed her
face.
4 guess I'd better borrow hat" she
thought. On the closet shelf lay Fran
ces' white leghorn hat. with its wreath
of daisies. The hat was very becoming
TO Lamby, and it was with proud
consciousness of looking better than
she had ever looked before in her life
that she ran down the stairs and ap-
peared to Frances in the kitchen door.
Why Lamby Sommers, what do you
mean by putting on my best clothes!''
she exclaimed, and then stopped. My.
don't you look beautiful You look just
ike a picture book You must take
them right off, though; mother

her skirts.
You're not, eitherl What do you
mean?"

four of the ribs were broken. He had
finished his work just as the lads came
up. News had been brought up by the
steward that the little girl had opened
her eyes; while he was speaking the
Malay conversed rapidly with the inter-
prefer.
What is he saying. Sob Hay?" the
captain asked.
He is asking why his daughter is not
here, and if she is hurt. and how she
came TO be saved the man replied
Me tell him she come up to see him
soon: the doctor say she no hurt"
Two minutes later the doctor reap
peared, carrying the child in his arms.
She looked round fearlessly at the
white faces until her eye fell upon her
father. when she slipped ont of the doc
