smile on her lips, and in the window
stood William, whistling, l am bound
to declare, but so softly and cheerily
that l could but acknowledge it was
better than his usual rude jests or sui

she presently walked in with her hands
laden with sprays Of morning glory,
which she flung down in the center Of

of disappointed girl, yet it was not

holding up this member to my inspec-

pitcher, which she proposed to fill with
hot water.

When she came back, saw her eyes
fall on the break in the flooring, which
she had not noticed in entering.
"Oh," she exclaimed, "what q
shame" her honest face coloring as she
drew the rug back over the small black
gap. II am sure, ma'am," she cried
"you must think very poor of u.s. But
assure you, ma am, it's honest poverty,
nothing but honest poverty, as makes

far removed from mystery as her frank,
good natured manner seemed to be from
falsehood, she slid from the room with
kind:
Don't hurry, ma 'am. 1t is Miss
Knollys' turn in the kitchen, and she
isn't as quick as Miss Lucetta. "
"Humph," thought l, supposing
had called in the police"
But by the time size had returned

i1gnted candle into the hole by means or
string tied about it's middle, then to
drop line on the whistle thus discov-
cred and draw it up with the point Of a
bent hairpin, which / fondly hoped /
could make do the service of hook. To
think was to try. The candle was soon
down in the hole. and by it's light the
whistle was easily seen. The string and
bent hairpin went down next. / was
successful in hooking the prize and pro-
ceeded to pull it up with great care.
For an instant I realized what a ridic-
ulous figure I was cutting, STOPPING
over q hole in the floor ON both knees,
a string in each hand, leading apparent
ly to nowhere and i at work cautiously
steadying one and as carefully pulling
on the other. Having hooked the whis-
tie hand string over the first finger Of
the hand Holding the candle, may
have bee CEle too self conscious to notice
the slight release of weight on the whis-
tie hand Whatever the reason, when
the end of the string came in sight
there was no whistle ON it. The charred
end showed me that the candle had
burned the cord, letting the whistle fall
again out of reach. Down went the can
die again. 1t touched bottom, but no
whistle was to be seen. After long and
fruitless search, such as it was, con-
cluded to abandon my whistle fishing
excursion, and rising from my cramped
and undignified position l proceeded to
pull up the candle To my surprise and
delight, found the whistle firmly stuck
to the lower side of it. Some drops Of
candle grease had fallen upon the whis-
tie where it lay. The candle coming in
contact with it, they adhered to each
other, and became indebted to acct
dent and not acumen for the restoration
of the precious article.
