Mrs Mitchell was busy In her little
house, when she saw q sqIsw's head
stuck through the windev and the dark
eyes carefully examining the lace cur
tains. Mrs. Mitchell told her 70 get away

Dreschaut from a town in Germany and
as he looked at the post mark. he be-
came very puzzled for IL was only a
short time before that he had heard
from the folks and they were at Florence.
Reading the letter. he found the cause

One day last week when the rain came
down in torrents and the lightning SEEM
ed to fash its fiendish tongues of fire
all about one, small crowd of people
sat fidgeting in a car that made its
way down off College Hill through the
mud and lakes Of water Every one in
the car was on the ragged edge and many
wore an anxious expression as the light
ming flashed around them. There was
one in this trembling assembly, how
ever. that shook nor feared. She Is but
five years old. yet seated among men Of
brawny tissue. she shock not half as
much as they.
The car had just swished through a
lake and the rain was beatingg furfousiy
on the windows, when this little girl,
leaning forward with an important afr
said: II don't believe this rain viii do
much damage" The crowd laughed
forgot the lightning and rain and re-
,eived from the small body some OF the
'hild-like confidence in providence.
