CHAPTER ".

Ruby has now been the self-consti-
tuted instructress of Bob and Meg for
nearly a month. The novelty of her
voluntary task has worn off; the chill
dren too have taken off that feeling Of
restraint and shyness which caused
them in the beginning to sit
like little models of patience
during the two hours devoted
to lessons. They have now be-
gun to realize the fact that their lib
erty is restricted during the morning
visits to the Wilderness, and both are
beginning to regard their disinterested
benefactress simply in the light of
taller. Ruby possesses none of those
qualities so essentially necessary to
win childish hearts-she has no pa.
thence, no tact, and not an atom of
real sympathy for her young charges.
One bright June morning Bob is la
boriously forming some strange HERO
glyphics supposed to represent pot
hooks in a very blotted and limpy copy
book, whilst poor little Meg, with an
ominous culver of her lips, is stand
ing with her hands behind her in front
of Ruby, vainly seeking in her passive
little brain for the answer to the Oft
repeated question
Now, Meg-wake up, and tell me,
like good little child, what is three
times four"
"Tree times four-tree times four"
repeats Meg drearily-so often has the
same question been put in the same
words that it conveys no meaning to
her childish reason. Ruby has a way
Of scanning the morning news whilst
she carries on her monotonous string
Of questions, so that her face is COM
pletely hidden from her poor little vic
tim.
"Yes-three times four. You will
stand there until you tell me. you know
very WELL" persists Ruby in tones OF
stern reproach.
This seems such an exceedingly
dreary prospect to poor Meg that her
two little fat fists are thrust suddenly
into her eyes. and she breaks into
dismal howl.
Il say-you Miss Wilden-you just
stop bullying our Meg" cries Bob, sud
denly turning round on his high perch.

pay him. For this purpose she went to

she presently poured into her hand a
tiny shower of change. This compris-
ed several coins of the smaller sort,
but one Of them stood out royalty from
the rest-a bright coppery beauty flash
ing with the sunshine. 1t was a new
halfpenny.
The child's eyes glistened desirously.
"Gi-gi!" he said, which, being in
terpreted is GIVE"
But this remark remained unheard
amid the hustle; and it was not until
the lamp-oil man had received his due,
and the coins-bright halfpenny as
well-had been restored to their little
box and cupboard that Mrs. Jameson
became aware of the child's restless
ness.
"Halloo, little mamie! What 90
want now"
"Gi-gi!" This with an imperious
wave of hand.
"Gi-gi? oh. he wants his picture
book. Give it him, Caroline"
And Mrs Jameson, turning away, be-
gan to scour a saucepan.
But baby had no Joy of his picture
book. On top of his bread and jam it
lay UNDECIDED, it's crude, gaudy illus
trations seeming as naught beside that
golden glorious something he had mo-
mentarily seen fash across his cosmos.
"Gi-gi!" he cried plaintively.
perhaps it's his gee-gee he wants"
said Mrs. Jameson, picking up a d.
lapidated horse from the debris of toys
on the floor.
Mana" dissented the child, way
ing it aside.
Look at the pretty tail wagging."
But no, the horse was but wooden.
It could not glitter like little disk
OF sunshine.
The bucolic looking doll, the tin en-
CINE, even the railway truck-more
dearly loved for its lack of wheels
could not compensate for the vanished
halfpenny. They we're but the com
panions of earth, the well-known COM

VALLEY FORGE.
The Wonderful Endurance OF Cold, Sick,
Hungry Soldiers.
(To be Continued.)


But whether due to military expe-
diency or not, the story of Valley
Forge is an epic of slow suffering ST.
lently borne, of patient heroism, and
Of very bright and triumphant out
come, when the gray days, the long
nights and the biting frost fed together,
says Scribner's. The middle Of Deem
Der in the North American woods; no
shelter, no provisions, no preparations;
such were the conditions OF Valley
Forge when the American army first
came there. Two weeks of hard work
and huts were built and arranged in
streets. This work was done on a
diet of flour mixed with water and bak-
ed in cakes, with scarcely any meat or
bread. At night the men huddled
around the fires to keep from freezing.
Few blankets, few coverings, many
soldiers without shoes, "wading naked
in DEFENDERS snows"-such were the
attributes of Valley Forge. BY the
new year the huts were done, the stree.
laid out and an army housed, with
some three thousand men unfit for
duty. frostbitten, sick and hungry.
They had shelter, but that was about
all. The country had been swept so
bare by the passage OF the contending
armies that even straw to lie on was
hard to get, and the cold, uncovered
ground often had to serve for a sleep
ing place. Provisions were scarce and
hunger was added to the pain OF cold.
Sometimes the soldiers went for days
without meat-sometimes without any
food Lafayette tells us. marveling at
the endurance and courage OF the men.
There is often famine in the camp,
writes Hamilton. man not given to

II say, don't ge! waxy over it, old
boy!" suggests Ted, regarding his
brother with some amazement, for
Robert has as a rule such an equable
temper that it seems strange to find
1t even in the least ruffled. For my
own part, l thought 1t awfully kind
of Miss Widen to propose having the
kids oversize seems very unselfsh
and kind-hearted."
II don't doubt for a moment that she
is most estimable woman" responds
Robert impatiently "but she has no
tact, no common sense; she must have
der such an obligation. If she insists
upon teaching the children, don't see
how l can prevent her, only l shall
certainly send her a check at the end
of the quarter for her trouble, and so
make a business matter of it,"
you can't possibly do that" cries
Ted, in voice of CONSERVATION; 81 am
sure she would take it as an insult! If
you want to satisfy your conscience,
the children could make her some pres
ent of jewelry or something Of that
sort"
II don't care so long as she gets
paid somehow" remarks the elder
MI
deal Of annoyance in his tone.
Ted walks on for some moments in
meditative silence; then he says sud
denly
II wonder what has come over Shell
since l met her last. She used to be
one of the jolliest little girls in exist
ence, anc now she seems to be full of
selfishness and spite. Surely she can't
have been crossed in love; yet nothing
else that l can thinb of would account
for the utter Indifference which she
seems for the world in general"
Poor little She'll noticed q great
change in her too" assents Robert
dreamily. "As you say, she used to be
such a chatty child, and this evening
her behavior was almost rude; perhaps
she has had something, as you sug-
gest, to sour her. | thought she looked
quite pretty in that simple white
dress"
81 might have thought her pretty IL
she had condescended to make herself
agreeable" laughs Ted; "but, since she
did nothing but snub me at every turn,
her hair struck me as being remark
ably red, and her temper uncommonly
bad. Wasn't that piece of music an
awful infiiction?"
"Excruciating!" agrees Robert heart
lily. Her family ought to give her a
hint not to inflict herself on visitors,
or, If she insists on playing she should
limit her performance to five minutes"
"Oh. we'll, must own it was rather
my FAULT" confesses honest Ted. "She
warned me beforehand that shouldn't
want her to play again IL heard her
once"
We'll, she gave us a quantity, s.not
quality" laughs Robert.
Indeed she did" acquiesces Ted,
with almost a groan.

The CzarIna's Health.

From st. Petersburg come poor ac-
counts Of the health Of the Empress
of Russia. Very little is said about it,
as the Tsar greatly objects TO all ref
erences to the subject; but, as a mat
ter of fact. there has been cause for
some anxiety about the empress for
some time past. She has never been
very robust, and the attack of meas
les from which she suffered early in
the winter has left her painfully weak

STARS.

All the morning people were bustl-
ing about the house, this way and that,
up to the eyes" in work. The maid
and a temporarily engaged assistant
superintendent operations over
steaming tub; Mrs. Jameson and her
sister Caroline lent them an occasional
hand, devoting the remainder of their
time to cooking. securing, cleaning, and
the hundred matters of domestic neces-
sity; tradesmen, with that unerring in
stinct of their kind which always
prompts their visits on the most in
convenient day, made frequent de-
mands upon the door; the children,
home for while, were busy too; for
this was wash day in the house OF
Jameson.
The baby sat solemn and silent in his
tiny chair, securely tied thereto by
disused pair of his fathers braces.
Scattered on the floor around him
were toys and picture-books; on his
lap lay slice of bread and jam,
broad red trail of the latter indicating
direct path over bib and chin toward
his mouth. He turned large and list
less eye upon the surrounding hustle.
Baby is quiet today" said Mrs.
jameson once, glancing casually to-
ward him.
Yes; he is thinking of something
not even eating his bread and jam"
Did UNI sit and fnka-fnk?" This
to the child, with a seductive waggle
OF finger.
But baby sat motlonless, gazing
cowlike with his eyes. He did not even
say "Goo-goo!"
At that moment the maid came In
from the scullery, bearing with her a
steamy atmosphere and an unwhole-
some odor OF soap. In her arms was
ponderous basket of damp linen fresh
from the wringing; this she deposited
with a thud upon the floor.
i've done this lot, ma'am," she said.
IAN / am almost ready to start in on
the coloreds. I'll put this here min
ute while l go and get my line out
Hope it'll be fine day for drying"
Mrs. Jameson stood at rest for a mo-
ment and surveyed the bulky basket
before her. She sighed. 1t was the
far-off day her good man should earn
just that little more-than-enough
which would warrant her in putting
out her washing. But now she was
middle-aged, and the dream had not
yet come; when 1t came-years later
It had lost its value, for her good man
was gone.

did ums have to be put in a corner

followed out her mistress's instruc-
tions.
The baby remained as impassive as
ever.
Suddenly a miracle occurred. The

livered himself of his odoriferous bur-
den. It became again necessary for Mrs
