Simnle. hut EfrectiUe

The three little girls of the three
summer boarders had been blueberry-
ing with the farmers daughter and all
four had come home with stains on
their skirts. The three little boarders
flew upstairs to their respective moth
ers, and the farmers daughter repaired
to her mother in the kitchen.
Late In the afternoon the boarders
sought the farmers wife on the kitchen
porch
"Oh, Mrs. Brown" said one of them,
"just look at the children's skirts!
We've tried that new powder on them
and three kinds of stain soap and ben
tine and everything we had to take
out those blueberry stains, and they've
only spread. Could you suggest any
thing moreY
Mrs. Brown looked at the skirts and
shook her head.
I'm afraid you've set 'em in too
firm" she said. 81 got James out with
out a mite o. trouble.''
The boarders gathered close around
as she exhibited James skirt, spotless
and unwrinkled.
"Oh, do tell us what you usedp' they
chorused eagerly, and a mild smile of
triumph played over Mrs. Browns
lean countenance.
Il just took and put it over a bowl"
she said calmly, "and poured boiling
water over it. Took about cupful to
get the color all out, but | cal-late to
fill the kettle about once in SO often,

1t was the morning Peggy was going
back to ma and the girls. He had tax
en- it for granted, and it filled him with
homesick misery. 1t had been SO pleas
ant to have the child at home. She
had taken his lonely old heart by storm.
He hung up his hat and began me-
chanically to straighten some of the
boxes in one of the tiers behind the
counter. He had not thought to say
good morning to Old Adam, as usual
1t was Peggy-gay, little, harum scar

"Oh, say, Mr.. Knox, good day to
you, STRIP some one out in the aisle

leaned over the counter and pulled his
sleeve. 81 say, Knox, you don't look

Why not?'
He was gone before the astonished
little man behind the stocking counter
had recovered himself. Old Adam was
regarding him with grin.

drawled. ''Well, you deserve it. You

ard weaSy, but she smiled ingratiating-
ly and twirled the stockings about with
an air of long acquaintance with their
kind.
Peggy! 10 an instant it was all clear
to him. He knew it was to Peggy he
owed his beautiful two weeks of rest.
1t was Peggy's doings!
He felt an irresistible impulse to
vault over the counter like a boy and
take Peggy in his arms The sly, little,
harum scarum girl, to cheat her old
daddy! He wanted to squeeze her
pale little face between his palms and
kiss it a hundred times He wanted to
scold her and thank her and get her
away from that place. The stocking
counter at Bruce's was no place for
blithe little Peggy.
The customer was turning away and
Peggy was putting back the boxes.
Even from that distance daddy could
see that she put one in the wrong
place.
In the moment of starting down the
aisle he changed his mind. An instinc-
tive delicacy restrained him, and he
hurried round the corner out of sight.
No; he would not spoil Peggy's little
scheme. She would like it better to
have it go on uninterrupted Peggy
was travelling incog." now. He would
wait. But he told himself that by and
by he would have it out with Peggy.
There was reckoning day ahead
somewhere.
He went home and waited. Closeup
at Bruce's was at 6 sharp, but it was
late twilight when Peggy came home.
She knew daddy would be there, and
she had fingered on the way. He
heard her coming in and called out
brusquely:
who's there? Hold up your handsp'
Cant do it, daddy. They're plumb
full Why don't you have a ight?"
She spoke with nervous hilarity,
mumbling something indistinct about
trains that lost time and herdic men
that went round Robin Hoods barn to
unload their passengers.
I'm the advance guard, you know,

mally. She felt her way to him across
the room. At the couch she knelt be-
side him and felt for his face

it's you and not counterfeit daddy.
Here we are! Daddy Knox, where are
the other two?'
"Under the willows, beside a trout
stream, Peggy. How many feet would
you have crow have? Aren't two
enough?
Taken off her guard, Peggy put her
lips to his ear and whispered:
"Did-did the fish bite, daddy?"
The day of reckoning was at hand.

The little dark brook under the qDilloaos
Put in for all you're worth. You need
it. Let yourself go, old man, for once.
I'd go with you if l hadn't got an en-
gagement with my wheel. l say, man,
I'm powerful glad the boss has come
round He amt half bad. Now, put
on your hat an start-shoow
1t was half past s. There was time
to get the 10 o'clock train that went
straight toward the little dark brook
under the willows! There was time,
time, time!
If Peggy had only stayed long enough
to know! 1t would please Peggy.
On the 10 o'clock train Gregory Knox
sat back in his seat and wished again
that Peggy could know. He had half a
mind to telegraph her, but on second
thought decided to wait and write
from Sims. He could tell Peggy so
many things that would be interesting
then-how her Uncle Simeon looked,
and how the old place had stood the
wear and tear of thirty years, and
whether the tall tree apples tasted as
good as they used to, and if the trout
were biting well. He would write
Peggy long letter, the first letter he
had ever written to one of the girls.
He was glad the first one would be to
Peggy.
Two weeks later Gregory Knox,
brown and happy, got off the train in
the crowded city station. He walked
away with Il springy stride that fitted
his little stopped figure oddly. People
turned to look again at his happy face.
The whim seized him to walk by
Bruce's and see how it looked from an
outsiders standpoint, to stand and look
idly in the big windows, as outsiders
did; then another whim to go in at the
great, swinging doors and loiter through
the aisles, all but the stocking counter
aisle. Not that; that would break the
spell.
"I'll buy little mite of present for
Peggy; that's what" Peggy always
said that's what" and he smiled at
the thought. His heart was hungry to
see Peggy, and he had reckoned that
she and ma and the girls would be
home now in day or two. Their
month was over.
"Now, what III l get?' he mused,
idling along lazily and refusing to look
at the familiar faces of the clerks.
what do Peggies like? Fancy notions
Of some sort, may have to go to Old
Adams counter now Not if l can help
1t. It's too near my old stand, an I'm
not stockin' tender yet-not till to-
morrow"
He could not decide on what to get.
He distrusted his own wisdom in any
thing but stockings. All, yes, stockings!
Why not? Peggies all wear stockings,
and suddenly he remembered the rusty
black, gobble darned stockings his Peg
gy had worn that day at the beach. He
would have to go down the stocking
counter aisle, after ALL
"Stockin's it is then," he said, tramp
ing away in that direction.
But just at the turn he looked down
the aisle and uttered a low murmur of
astonishment. He could scarcely credit
his eyes. He was getting old, and they
might be failing him. But nearer yet
the vision was the same. He knew it
was Peggy behind the stocking count
er. Peggy He stood and watched her.
She was waiting on a customer and did
not see him. Her face was little pale

and made his plans wearily. He
would keep out of sight-that would be

he said.
'I'll keep on the outskirts, out of
their sight. My old clothes won't do
'em any harm that way"
Poor little stocking counter clerk! He
had always been on the outskirts, and
he was fifty years old.
But when he had settled himself on
the great, hot beach, hidden in the lee
of mighty bowlder, whom should he
see dancing down the beach toward his
hiding place but Peggy in her dainty
bathing suit! She was all alone, and
she made pretty picture to pas ad-
miring eyes.
Peggy was the baby and his favorite
In his quiet, secret way he worshiped
at little Madcap Peggy's restless feet.
{ The other girls called him pa, but she
called him daddy. How pretty she
looked in that little blue and white
rig! The little oil silk cap perched on
her brown head had saucy, witching
air.
But Gregory Knox sank back in the
lee of his rock-a minute too late, dad
dy, for Peggy had seen him!
"Daddy-of all things. great and
small things Knoxp'

meekly.,

isn't any, not breath! Well, tell me
about it, daddy"
She threw herself in the sand beside
him and dug the toes of her bathing
shoes deep in. Her long black stock
ings stretched out before her, and dad
dy's experienced eyes fell on them at
once. He was so well acquainted with
stockings! He noticed instantly that
they We're rusty and loose fbered.
Then he saw the little "gobbled" darns
in them. Peggy was not renowned for
