MYRTLE
By Sara Martyn

M . lSHe
from the door
way; what are you doing out in
that shed so long? I've been
looking for you for nearly ter
minutes.
I'm coming at once, mother,
and Myrtle hastily thrust a
paper bound copy of Miss Carey S
works behind an old barrel.
Then gathering up an armful
of kindling wood, she hurried
to the house.
For gracious sakes, Myrtle,
what makes you SO slow? I've
been waiting for that wood to
get supper with.
I'm sorry, but I did not hear
you call. Myrtle flushed as she
remembered why she had not
heard. I did not think it was SO
late.
Well, you must certainly be
getting deaf if you did not hear
me calling you; but hurry now
and set the table for supper, or
the men will be in before we are
half through. There is Tim
coming home withathe team from
market already. I wonder if he
forgot to get my calico; it would
just be like him!
Here's your things, ma am,
said Tim, the farm hand, enter
ing a few moments later; ten
yards calico, two spools thread,
and the muslin. Mrs. Lotus
wants two more pounds of butter
next time, she says; and here, he
added, diving into his pocket,
is a letter for you.
A letter, and from Jane, cried
Mrs. Fisher, seizing it. Why in
the world didn't you give it to
me in the first place, instead of
talking so long?
Cause I thought you'd want
to know if everything was right
fust, and Tim grinned as he pick
ed up the milk pals and started
for the barn whistling, while
Mrs. Fisher eagerly tore open
her letter and perused it's con-
tents.
She is coming home next week,
she announced jubilantly. Do
you hear, Myrtle? Jane is com
ing home to spend a month; her
husband, she writes, cannot
leave his work; but she will be
here the first Of the week.
I am very glad, said Myrtle,
coming forward. I am sure we
shall enjoy her visit very much;
it has been so long since she was
home.
Well, you don't speak as if you
were greatly elated over it, said
Mrs. Fisher, petulantly. I sup
pose you would rather she did
not come, as it might make a lit
lie extra work for you.
Tears sprang to Myrtle's eyes.
ALI, mother, you know I never
lad any such thoughts. I would
10 anything in my power to make
James visit pleasant; but, she
tdded, | cannot help feeling that |
'he does not care for me.
For gracious sakes, Myrtle,
;uch talk. Why shouldn't she
ike you? said her STEP mother.
I'm sure that Jane has always
,een very kind to you, a great :
leal more so than some people
would have been, considering
,ou are no relation of hers.

HOW ROSAMOND MADE UP HER MIND
BY MARGARET DELAND

Well, Iswanny!said the driver.
But he turned.
1t was noon when they got
back. Rosamond, sitting lean
ing forward in the carry all was
painting with excitement. Oh,
to get home, to get back to her
father and mother-to say, For
give me! For l wanted to go!
she thought, her heart beating
hard. and her hands grasping
the back of the seat in front of
her.
So Rosamond came home-so
she made up her mind. Of
course it made talk. Some
thought she was right, some
declared she was wrong. Mrs.
Baily said it was evident that
Rosamond did not care so very
much for her music. after all.
Old David Ray, when he heard
it, said, after a minutes astound-
ed silence, Rosamond is bigger
than her talent. and the very
next Sunday night he went to
Miss Alice's to tea. Miss Alice,
of course, was perfectly happy.
The judge and Mrs. Gorham-
well, one need not say how they
felt about it.
AS for Rosamond herself, she
came to understand certain deep
words: He that loseth his life
shall find it.
