house, and her dresses were soft and
pretty and not at all like those Marthy
and Emmy wore.
please dress me palmer, mother
she said more than once. you see,
l feel very gaudy beside Marthy and
Emmy and the rest, and l wouldn't
like them to feel I'm better dressed"
Margie need not have worried about
her clothes, however, for the Monroe
children did not care, although they
admired the dainty things she wore.
1t was grandfather they cared about
and Margie had no grandfather, so
they gave her share in theirs. If
grandfather only had fine new clothes
and comforts like other old men they
would be happy indeed.
"Marthy," said one of the newcom-
ers in the neighborhood one day,
why don't your grandfather wear his
soldier cap stead of that shabby cid
felt hat?'
Marthy looked at Tod, Tod looked
at Tucker and Tucker looked at EN-
my. Then Emmy answered bravely:
ITS because his sojer cap is moth
eaten"
Then why don't you buy him a new
other hatc' persisted the newcomer.
81 should think you'd be ashamed of
him."
Emmy and Tod and Tucker and
Marthy had tears in their eyes by this
time, when Margie cried suddenly to
the newcomer:
Il can beat you to the next corner!"
and off they started.
Il think it was just cruel, l dol"
declared Margie at supper that night.
They're just as poor as can be, and
every cent has to buy food, and their
dear old grandfather won't let them
buy anything for him. do wish l
could help them"
81 doubt if they would accept char
ity," said her mother.
Indeed they wouldn't" said Margie.
Big sister Mabel spoke up:
Didn't he ever get pension?" she
said.
What is that?" asked Margie.
'It's money paid yearly by the gov
eminent to those who are disabled in
its service" explained Mabel.
The next day Margie asked Marthy
about 1t.
I'VE tried to once" said Marthy,
"but grandfather always said his fam
lily thought more of him than the
government did, for the pension was
never given him."
mabel says he ought to have one,"
said Margie thoughtfully. "Oh, Marthy
II have an idea, and if you'll premise
not to tell till it's time III let you
help"

Meow.
A public school teacher in the city
Of New York, who wished to select q
soloist from among her pupils, tool
three of them to her private room, and
: as quality of voice was the only
question involved, said to the first
little girl: "Sing one verse of any
hymn you have learned in school,
The child broke forth:
Lead, kindly light amid the encirclina
gloom,
Meow, meow;
The night is dark, and / am far from
home,
Meow, meow;
No one who has not been obliged
to fight the garbling Of words, suna
by children in chorus, will fully ap
preciate the easiness of the transition
from Lead Thou me on" to Meow

He was a veteran of the Civil war;
brave and fearless soldier, and MS
grandchildren knew that such another
grandfather had never lived. every
sunny day you could see him in MS
wheel chair or limping painfully along
Tod and Tucker trying to help on one
side, and Marthy and Emmy on the
other. 1t troubled them not a little
that grandfather, who was the bravest
of the brave and the truest gentleman
on the whole earth, should wear
clothes that were shiny and frayed and
had been worn for many, many years.
For themselves they did not care; they
had never done anything to merit fine
clothes.
But grandfather had done SO much,
had been so faithful and brave and
true, and he should be clad in fine
raiment, it seemed to them. BY hard
work they had managed to gather
enough nickels and dimes together to
buy the wheel chair from a second
hand furniture man. 1t wasn't good
enough for grandfather, but it was
the very best they could do.
1t was all Mrs. Monroe, the chill
dren's mother, and grandfather's only
daughter, could do to keep the four
pairs of feet covered and the four little
bodies from suffering from the cold.
She worked hard and long, but she
never complained-not even when
father left her suddenly to 60 to the
Beautiful Country where we shall all
meet some day when we are called
away.
His four grandchildren were not the
old mans only admirers by any
means. He was always the center of
an interested group of boys and girls,
who listened with rapt attention to his
wonderful tales of the war. The po-
licemen all knew and shook hands
with him, the firemen always touched
their caps to him. and the car con-
ductors smiled at him as they dashed
by. Grandfather thought it was only
common politeness, for he greeted
everyone because he had Joy in his
heart, If his body was warped and
bent.
Grandfather had been shot in try
ing to carry an important message
through the lires-he was the only
one who volunteered to carry the mes
sage, for it was a terribly dangerous
undertaking.
What did it matter now, that he
had failed then? Was it not just as
brave deed as though he had been
successful? He was the only man in
the regiment brave enough to under
take it. The Monroe children knew
that if one is brave and does ones
very best, failure is as honorable as
success.
