There was pause. Mollie was quaking
with something much Ike fear. Her
parents had never thought of selling the
fruit, and Mrs. Manda had always helped
herself to the best.
''Do you mean you air going to sell the
cherries and berries?' Why, Mollie Kel-

of yourself"
Mollie pushed back her bonnet and faced
her aunt. ''Why not sell fruit as well as
as grain? Aunt Manda, father needs the
money. Instead of being ashamed l am
proud that | can help him."
Mrs. Kelly was too astonished to reply.
She started for home, and Mollie went on
with her work.
The next two weeks were busy ones at
the Kelly farmhouse. Cherries, currants
and raspberries, both black and red ones,

Bertha widowed m. ther and little sister

Mrs. Manda's face flushed. Maybe
you better take EN- all - she said savage
ly; but Mollie was at the other end of the
kitchen, and if she heard, made no reply.
After the expenses of picking the fruit
We're paid, thirty dollars remained from
the sale of it. The proprietor OF the hotel
continued to take the cream until late in
September. He paid good price for early
apples, the few fine pears they could spare
