gentle eyes and glance out through the
pantry window toward the patch of
tall, waving hollyhocks that Jim had
planted four summers before She was
kneading dough, and two or three times
she stopped to scrape the clinging bat
ter from her fingers with the back of
case-knife.
She hummed little old-fashioned
tune emphasizing the "tum to tum"
with savage jabs at the rapidly harden
ing dough on the Switchboard before
her.

The girl slowly turned and shambled
across the kitchen floor, the turnover

the white scrubbed boards as she
walked.

Jane dragged herself into the buttery
and laid the baking plates on the Shelf
at Mrs. Springer's elbow
Mrs Springer turned, her hands and
arms hecked with -four.
Did We grease 'em?" she asked
sharply.
NO, ma'am; ye didn't tell me to-"
Didn't tell ye to? Hain't We got

Again the girl disappeared.
From the great lump of dough on the
board Mrs Springer pulled little Jumps
and rolled them into fabby globes,
which she placed in regular lines on the
bottom of the biscuit tins.
She had patted the last little lump
into a ball and wedged it into a corner
of one of the pans and stepped back to
survey her work, when through the
open doorway of the kitchen foated to
her, on the cool September air. the call,
"Missus Springer. Oh, MisSuS Spring

she exclaimed as she crossed the floor
and pushed open the screen door.
Fer tn lan's sake Zeke Evans, what
be you a-wantin'?'
She had stepped out on the back
porch, all green and blue with clinging
vines and open morning glories.
The little man in the light rig
wiped the perspiration from his brow
and clambered out of the vehicle over
the wheel
He advanced toward Mrs. Springer
and extended a yellow envelope. This

Circus C'rookedness.

Wabasha Herald: It seems that
Wallace's circus worked q double
header up at Little Falls. It not
only robbed the people right and
left. but it succeeded in imposing on
the editor Of the Transcript sutf-
GENTLY to cause him to give it an
excellent certificate Of character, to
the length OF about a column. About
one hundred of these were sent out
to points which the circus VIM visit
later On. for the purpose of throwing.
the authorities off their guard. and
leading them to believe that all the
attaches of the show are deacons
and candidates for the ministry. OF
course, the editor of the Transcript
is indignant, or pretends to be-, and
pitches into the mayor of Little
Falls, who is the editor of the Little
Falls q er AID, for allowing such
a circus to exhibit in the city. The
mayor clears hie skirts by saying
that he was away from town circus
day, but that, had he been there, he
would have revoked the circus IL
cense. And by this time Wallace is
down in Illipois doing good work
wherever allowed to.
