strongest support by the sspryness' so
dear to the heart OF Mr.. Jacques, but
she had to see them grow thinner day
by day despite her cheering.
She did not need to think OF the fish
peddler's advice-nay, commandto be
.spry." for it was the handspring OF
her nature to be what he understood
by that colIoquial expression. She shed
her sympathy and encouragement on
the hard pushed men as flower
breathes perfume. But In the misery
OF seeing things go steadily from bad
to worse she was losing her ''spry-
ness"
The thought of the absent oddly
who had sold her fish rarely occurred,
but when his silently comical air and
peculiar loyalty toward herself dashed
across her memory she accorded the
homage of a sigh to Mr.. Jacques and
prayed that wherever his active feet
were straylng he might meet with bet
ter luck than she and hers
1t was more than two years since he
had faded away. In the springtime. for
it was close on the third Christmas
from his departure. Business matters
had reached a climax for her father

nights at point where could they but

success seemed assured, and they had

Her father had told her that morning
that he would be obliged to sell their
house and belongings and turn every
thing over to the creditors. The most
they could hope for was to pull out
enough to leave Seattle and start 10 the
most modest way somewhere else.

The little woman, who had been SO

that in few days they would have to
