She looked very old and tired as she
went feebly about getting supper, and
for once She forgot to set open the front
door; she remembered it as she was
going to sit down to her supper, and she
hurried to open it. A young man was
just coming with springing steps up the
path between the daffodils, sturdy
young fellow with yellow-haired baby
in his arms. She looked at him absent
ly, but he ran toward and caught her.
Mother, mother, don't you know
me?" he cried, as he Rugged and kissed
her.
After supper she went over to the
Whipples. Tom was lying out under
the apple trees, as he used to do years
ago, but Toms baby was clinging to her
with one dimpled hand, while the other
was full of daffodils. Miss Martha met
her at the gate.
''Well, now l guess you are happy"
she said "When | see you come, thinks
l, We'll, that explains it. l couldn't
understand what made Mary seem so
sort O. numb this afternoon, but now |
see." And this is Toms baby! It
certainly does favor him! Do come in"
give got something to tell you first"
she said. 81 deceived you awfully,
L
you said about Tom, so went off in
hurry, an when I got to the city the
house was all closed up. Flora's mother
was taken sick sudden, an they had
gone there, but [ didn't know it then.
Some folks was real good to me, an
took me in, an came back the next
day. I've been living in the house ever
since. l thought folks would talk
against Tom if they knew, an wasn't
going to have it!''
She was looking ashamed, yet defiant.
But Martha was blind to all fine express
sions. For the lands sake" she ex-
claimed. 'You'v We been living there all
the weekr'
Eyes. l got off at Farrar's and come
through the woods. want you should
tell everybody. IT was real wicked of
me, but wasn't going to have anybody
talking against Tom. He'll come over
and see you tomorrow before he goes,
but the baby's going to stay with me all
summer. Flora's mothers real sick,
an Flora's got to be there. l must go
! back now an see Tom, but l wanted
you to know what 1 had done. Come
along Mary"
Martha's eyes followed her with ad-
miring interest.
'The baby's named for you, amt she?"
she said.
The old woman turned back, her face
all alight.
EYES," she answered tom said she
shouldn't have any name but his moth
er's. Tom allus was good to his mother"
She stopped a moment, and then
caught the child up in a passion of
tenderness; her bright brown eyes look
ed with sudden softening over the yell
low baby head.
''she amt ever going to do such a
wicked thing as her grandmother did, J"
she said.
Then she went silently back between
| the rows of daffodils-to Tom.

Municipal Elections.

The Portland Express urges upon the
cities and towns Of Maine the consid-
Grafton of the same change that Port
land has adopted in having the mum
cipal election occur in December and
the municipal year begin with the cal
endar year instead of beginning, as now,
February or March. The Express does
not argue the case extensively but mem
lions one advantage that would be
gained by country towns in having a
fall, instead of a spring election. They
would thus escape generally the bad
roads that frequently make it difficult
to attend the spring meetings. OF
course anything that would tend to in
crease the attendance at these annual
meetings is worthy of consideration,
but there are many advantages in hav-
ing the municipal year begin with the
New Year, and time is likely to see
more Maine cities and towns following
the lead of Portland in this respect

The Bicycle Race.

The recent Iong-7jstance bicycle
race at Madison Square Garden has
aroused some comment not alto
gether favorable. The stories which
are told of the physical collapse Of
the men engaged in it are rather
gruesome- and it seems as if there
could hardly be much more sport in
watching the performance than in
walking through the wards of 4 hos
pitaL However, tastes differ.
The trick bicyclist is entertaining,
though sometimes his feats are 80
dangerous as to arouse in ones miri
wonderment whether there should
not be a society for the prevention
of cruelty to human beings But for
the most part he appears to enjoy his
work, and there is an uncanny fasci-
nation in his apparent ability to defy
the ordinary laws which govern mat
ter He mas the attraction which all
skiIlful acrobats have. for those who
admire quick wits, trained muscles,
and steady nerves.
But the siN-day bicycle races are
different. There is nothing here but
test of endurance given in an alb
normal way II the test were a ride
in the open country, wher- a swift
rider might be of practical use in GER
tain circumstances, there might be
the ghost of a reason for 1t: but II is
not Everything about It is artificial
and calculated To put the severest
kind OF strain on the muscles and
nerves of the contestants So faE as
any skill Is concerned the men might
about as well handle pick or bod x
days without sleep, OF engage in a
fasting contest. 1t is purely d test
of endurance, and not a very good
one at that.

Helm NAMED.

While charity springs from the
heart, its motive power IS money
Like any enterprise, social or com
IuerciaI, its success Is necessarily
limited by its finances, and its
finances depend upon the Iiberality of
its friends.
The ideal civilization contempIates
the elimination of poverty; but there
are yet no signs of the millennium
Until mankind reaches that state of
average weIl-being where none must
needs have aims from another, it Is
the social and religious duty of the
fortunate TO assist the unfortunate:
the responsibilities of wealth extend
TO regions beyond the fircside and the
social circle
Washington has numerous chart
ties Perhaps none IS more entitled
TO both commentator and support
than the Instructive Visiting Nurse
Society. The object of this organiza-
ton is TO provide skilled aid for the
poor in their own homes and to in
struct others in the proper way to
care Tor the afflicted. The plan is To
supplement the work of hospitals,
dealing with cases not received by
these institutions or patients who.
for reasons, require home treatment.
This excellent society has won the
endorsement Of all familiar with its
work The demand for its nurses
from the poorer quarters of the city
has made expansion imperative.
There is not enough income to per
nit the management to employ adj
ditionaI nurses.
IN appeal has been made to Wash

THE EVENING TIMES.
FRANK A. MUNSEY

Boleyn's time people had breakfast
at six in the morning, dinner at
eleven, supper in the afternoon, and
sometimes supplementary meal
later in the evening. They went %
bed, if not with the chickens, at least
not very long after, and nobody ex-
eePt highwaymen thought of sitting
up all night. Perhaps they did it out
of sheer wickedness.
As late as century ago, in En-
glands fashionable society, eleven
p. m was considered late enough for
honest folk to be out. 1t is only
within the last hundred years that
people have taken to turning night
into day. 1t has looked of late as if
they intended to go around the clock
and by and by hold dances in the
early morning-say, from six to ten
q. m.-have breakfast about sunset,
and dinner during the small hours.
