pain in her back whispered the plain

Nancy touched Mr.. Sophia's arm
gently:
I'm afraid you're not putting the
lines out quite right" she said:
Il know it! know it," he kept
sroaning, softly. Il don't hope to do
any Of it right. my dear
A sudden inspiration came to Nancy.
She caught his sleeve hurriedly.
Quick. bring me the tluthes.' she
whispered. Il know What we'll do.
You'll take EN- across to my house and
I'll wash 'eri: That's what. Then I'll

across. OF course can do it as we'll as
not. I'm washing to-day. too. A little
more or less won't count"
Nancy hurried on ahead Of slow Mr..
Sophia to put on another kettle of wat
er to heat. She hummed all the way
across the street, and the soft little
drone broke into a song at her own
threshold,
That's all right! I'm thankful went
over there. Poor Mr.. Sophia. he need
ed help!" she was thinking. as she ate
her hasty wash-day luncheon from the
pantry shelf.
All the afternoon how Nancy work
ed! How she splashed and rubbed and
rinsed and wrurg! How clearly and
contentedly her voice trilled out above
the sound Of the rubbing. 1t was near
ly four o'clock when at last she hung
her washings out
What would great grandmother
say?" she laughed. "She got hers out
before breakfast: WE'LL l don't care;
shall get mine out before support"
The clothes were daintily white and
sweet. and Nancy hung them up with
careful precision. She gave the tiny
baby things cross line to themselves.
Mrs. Sophia had long. refreshing
sleep. When she woke the wash was
tapping gently out on the line. She
lifted herself painfully on her elbow
and gave it sharp scrutiny, astonish-
nent and distinct approval dawning in |
her pale face:

THOUGHT c. o. D. MEANT COD.

Mistake Of . Fish Dealer When He Got
Goods "Collect on Delivery"
An amusing story is told of an en-
terprising, though verdant, young man
who lives in small town up the state.
He wished to embark bn the sea 81
matrimony, but finding his income en-
tirely insufficient for the purpose, he
cast about to see if he could not find
some vocation which would yield him
enough to support wife on. After
| considerable reflection he decided that
since there was ne fish dealer in the
village; 1t would be wise plan to en-
gage IN that line of business.
He was totally ignorant Of what the
demands of the public required, and, as
many another young man had done
before him, consulted his fiancee on the
subject She told her lover that once
when she was on a visit to the city she
had eaten some haddock, and that it
was delicious, and advised him to lay
in a stock of that kind of fish.
The young man went to the local ex-
press office, and told the agent what he
would order the fish from New York.
and that the young man could pay for
it when it was delivered. The barrel
of fish came in due time, and, of course,
it was marked &c. o. D." When the
goods were delivered to the prospective
fish dealer he looked at the barrel for
a moment, and, turning to the express
man, said in q tone Of great disgust.
Il ordered paddock and they sent me
cod"
The story was too good for the ex-
pressman to keep to himself, and the
fish dealer, who made success of his
new business. is often, even to this day,
greeted by the housewives on his
morning calls with the sly question,
Have you got any cod?" To this he
replies. Il pay for my fish when or
der it now, so l never get any cod

Finally the chap married and in due
time he became a father. He was
proud Of this and spent $40 in tele-
grams to friends and relatives, $3.50
for cigars and $1s.65 for drinks.
The baby thrived and grew. At the
end Of four months the youngster was
an old story and weighed twenty-five
pounds and few ounces. When the
mother wanted the erstwhile proud
father to tote the heir from the house
to the trolley car the father made an
awful roar.
