MABEL'S GOOD LUCK.
A Pretty story Showing That 1t Pays
to BE Respectful to Old
People.

Perhaps the young woman who wrote
this moral story had read about that
nice girl who always looked pleasant at
the deaf and dumb man and found her
self heiress to his large property when
his will was probated. This is only
supposition, of course. The story
speaks for itself, as the reader will see:
mabel was a beautiful girl, just
dawning into womanhood and she ran
a typewriter. She helped support her
widowed mother, her father having
been lost at sea many years previous to
the beginning of this tale. Mabel could
earn but little wages with her type
writing, because she was also obliged
to answer the telephone, and she
couldn't expect regular typewriting
wages for doing that. But she did not
complain. Every day when she rode
downtown in an electric car she noticed
IAN elderly gentleman whose clothes
were old-fashioned and pretty shabby
He had good face but she could not
help seeing that his trousers bagged
at the knees great deal. Other peo-
pie noticed it, too, and snickered and
made remarks and even called him Old
Baggy Knees but Mabel never did.
She was too well brought up, for one
thing, and, besides, she had good
heart. Whenever she could she made
room on the seat for the old man, and
once when there was no room to make
she stood up and gave him her seat
After awhile ne talked with her, and
found out who she was and where she
lived. One day she missed him. In fact
she saw him no more. 1t may have
been a week or so when there came
heavy rap at the door. 1t was man
with package. The address was
Miss Mabel Pinklington, No. 972 Skid
more place and Mabel opened it with
nervous haste. All it contained was a
pair of much-worn trousers and a card
never called me Baggy Knees, from her
sincere admirer, John Tewksbury.'
Mabel laughed, but her mother shook
out the garment and said: That's a
funny present She felt in the pockets,
but there was nothing there. Then
she threw the trousers across a chair
and plaintively said: You know, Ma
bel, dear, that if we cannot make the
last payment on this home tomorrow
we will lose it,
Mabel sighed heavily and answered.:
Yes, mother we will lose it
Just then her mother, who had been
looking at the trousers idly,o said; |
don't think | ever saw such baggy
knees on human person. They look
fairly Solid She came little closer
and felt of them. i declare, they are!
she excitedly said. She turned them
inside out, and 10! two huge wads of
$50 bills fell on the floor, one from each
knee. When they counted them up they
found there was S4,lS0 in the two
lunches. Oh, but that was a happy
household And next morning when
the cruel agent came for his money he
was given it before he could ask for it.
"All of which shows that il always
pays TO be good and respectful to old
persons. cleveland Plain Dealer.
