What then Toes her letter mean?"
asked Mrs. Wood.
Just this, Mrs. Wood" replied
Marion. Mrs. Potter has been obliged
before now To receive aid. during that
time we made it as easy tor her as pos
sible. 10 she ought not to ask it; but
she has, unfortunately, acquired the

Marion's visits had continued and
grown to be very friendly, pleasant
chats with the mother, happy and
cheerful once more in her children's
comfort.
After reading the postal, Marion sat
gazing into the fire.
"Why is Mrs Potter asking for coal?"
she aid to herself. st is not more

Harry last night when he brought that
apron his mother has just made me;
I'll go over and pay her for it and see
how things are"
Whereupon Marion arose, dressed for
the street and started forth.
The air was clear and bracing. and
when Marion stood before Mrs Potter,
as she opened her door, her bright,
sparkling eyes Joined with her voice in
a CHEEKY "Good-morning."
This is a pretty cold morning, Mrs.
Potter" said Marion.
"Yes, indeed, Miss Dewey" replied
Mrs. Potter. Il tell you / thought so
when l was a-washing down these

you for that apron continued Marion.
Perhaps you're in need OF the money"
"Oh law, Miss Dewey The idea,
after all you're ADDING for us, of
you're a-paying me for that! Keep
your money"
"Oh, Mrs. Potter" said Marion, 'Tm

Marion watched Mrs. Potter's face as
she said this, and saw a slight color
mount to her cheeks.
"Oh, we need the money, sure
enough, Miss Dewey, there amt no
doubt about that; only you're SO kind
to us, we can't pay You as it is"
Marion laid the fifty cents down on
the table and chatted on about Susy
and the boys, about the temperance
meetings which We're going on just
then in the town hall: about the prob
able winner of the prize piano offered
to the most popular young lady in

another word about coal; for Marion

When Marion had departed. Mrs

Susy returned from work. Have you

To the kitchen to pay her daily visit
there. Marion retired to the library
and comfortably seated herself before
the open CRATE fire to read the morning
paper.
Anything for me, Hulda?" she called
to the heat little Swede, whom she
heard closing the O on the back of
the departing postman.
Yes, Miss Marion, a postal" said
Hulda, as She appeared at the library
door.
Marion extended her hand with some
eagerness, as she mad been expecting
word for several days hat her new
coat was, at last, ready for its final fit
ting: but her countenance clouded a
little as at first glance her eyes
caught the postal's printed heading:
office OF the Associated Charities"
However, Marion read the lard with
care: the secretary of the charities had
received a letter from Mrs. Potter, say
ing hat she had been i'll, and that the
doctor advised great care against chills.
Would the charities kindly send her
some coal, and she would try not to
ask them again. AS Mrs. Potter was
Marion's family" they would await
her report.
Mrs. Potter and Marion were quite
old friends. 1t was now over three
years since Marion first called on Mrs
Potter, who had but recently lost her
husband, after an illness which had
used up all his little savings. Walter,
twenty years old, Inc Susy, eighteen
years, were left as her only means of
support; Harry, only eleven, must go
to school for at least three years more.
Those were dark days during that
first winter, when, besides the loss of
a kind husband and father, the little
family had to struggle on with only
the small wages of the unskilled boy
and untaught girl on which to live. II
was necessary at hat time that help
should be given them; and in the kind
est way possible Mrs. Wood, secretary
of the charities, had given their case"
to Marion, and, as an aid to her in en-
tering their home, had told her that
Mrs. Potter could knit. Marion made
her first visit quite a matter of business.
She had heard, she said, that Mrs. Pot
ter could knit; she would like a pair of
bed slippers if she would make them
for her.
Mrs Potter made the slippers, and
from that time on she and Marion had
been the best of friends.
Marion's dresses had kept Susy neat
