GooDY TWO SHOES.

queer name for little girl. to be sure
but 1t was no wonder that people called her
"Goody Two Shoes" as you shall soon
hear.
Her real name was Margery. and her
brothers name was Tommy. and the two
poor little things had no kind father to
work and earn money to buy food and
clothes for them, and no mother good and
dear to take care of them. So they wan
dered about, always together. hand in hand,
poor and ragged and lonely. and often tired
and hungry.
The people in the village used to give
them something to eat. and the children
often found berries in the woods and along
the roadside. Every night, when the sun
set and it began to grow dark. Tommy and
Margery would walk up to some farm house
and say to the farmer or his wife: IF you
please. may We sleep in your barn tonight?'
Yes, indeed. and very welcome" the
dren would run to the barn and make them
selves a CoZy, warm nest in the hay and be
a happy two little birds.
But there are so many kind people in the
world that children are not left long to
wander about without a home, as Tommy
and Margery had been doing: and it hap
pened that kind gentleman who saw them
trOtting about together one day felt very
sorry for them.
He saw Margery's fat little feet all
scratched with walking barefoot over stones
and stubble 81 can cure that he said to
himself: and he took the children to the
cobbler's and said: Good Mr.. Cobbler here
Is work for you. Will you do it?'
That 1 will. and gladly answered the
cobblcr So he measured Margery's foot
that he might know lust how large to make
the shoes, and set to work Immediately.
He cut two pieces of leather from a large
thick piece which he had. and shaped them
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1902-07-19

for the soles. And he cut the uppeSs from
the thin leather; and busy enough he was
then boring holes with his mice little awl,'
and putting his waxed ends through and
through as he stitched away, sewing the
leather together for Margery's shoes. But
while the cobber was working away the
Kind gentleman who had told him to make
the shoes had been making some more kind
plans.
, Tommy" he said. 81 will take you with
me when 1 go back to my ship. and you
shall learn to be a sailor and good Mrs
Smith said: Surely, then, little Margery
shall live with me-"
So it was settled. the only sad thing being
that Tommy and Margery had to be sep
arated They cried and kissed each other
many times when the day came for Tommy
to go away. After he had gone little Mar
gerry went one day and looked in at the
CObblerS window.
There he sat. with big fiat stone on his
lap and hammer in his hand, and what
was he doing but rap-tap-tapping away.
putting the pegs into Margery's shoes and
fastening the uppers and the soles togeth her.
You may be sure 1t was not long after that
before the shoes were finished: and a good
thing 1t was too. for they say that poor
little Margery was so very lonely without
her brother that she might have cried her
self sick but for the new shoes that were
brought home to her
Dear me! If you could have seen how
pleased she was She had had to go bare

scratched and hurt. Besides. the new shoes
were so shiny and black and creaked lit

was delightful altogether.
Margery showed them to Mrs. Smith as
| soon as ever the cobbler had put them on
| for her
1.-TWO shoes. ma'am! Two shoesr' said
| the happy little creature over and over
again. / suppose she could scarcely re-
| member having two shoes before. because
| she had been barefoot so long: and before
| that she had gone about with only one
| shoe for a long time!
| The other shoe had been lost when she
| and Tommy first began their wanderings.
| At any rate. little Margery seemed over
| joyed at having two new shoes at once,
| and ran about first to one friend In the viii
| lage and then to another. always putting
| out her feet and saying: Two shoes! See,
| two shoes.'
| Everybody was glad TO see the little girl
| SO Joyful. and they used to smile at one an
| other in a happy way and say: Have you
| seen little Two Shoes?" or, There goes
| Goody Two Shoes, bless her heart till
| finally people scarcely ever remembered to
| call her Margery.
| So now I have told you, as said would.
| how a little girl came to have such a queer
| name as "GoOdy Two Shoes" and, if you
| like, you shall hear more about her another
| time for she was a little dear and no mis-
| take and did many things well worth your
| hearing about.

CHAPTER II
AS the word three passed their lips the
logs In the fireplace suddenly parted in the
center and the children saw before them
what seemed long plain of golden ground,
above which the blazing logs formed a
bright glowing archway.
At the farther end of the plain there was
raised platform. and upon this an old
fashioned high-arm chair, in which sat the
funniest, jolliest-looking little man they
had ever seen or even dreamed of. He was
only about six inches high, and was dressed
in a long flowing robe of red, short knee
trousers, silk stockings and low shoes with
diamond buckles, while upon his head he
wore a small crown of gold, which kept
constantly sliding from one side to another
in very annoying manner. His eyes were
very bright and keen, and his nose was
even redder than the flames that danced

''It looks very much like a Storm said
Col. Marston, gazing out Of the window in

''In the play room, sir" answered Eliza,
their old nurse, who had been with their
mother before they were born; do you
want them sir?"
No; only see that they don't leave the
house." and the colonel walked out on the
porch to take one last glimpse at the black,
hurryfng and scurrying clouds overhead.
Col. Marston was the commanding officer
OF Fort Blinker, situated In the extreme
northwestern corner of Montana. His fam
lily consisted of his daughter Dorothy, aged
eight years, and her brother Jack. almost
