Never put off until tomorrow

Never trouble another for
what you can do yourself.
Never spend money before
you have earnde it.
Never bny what you don't
want because its cheap.
Pride costs more thon hunger,
thirst and cold.
We seldom repent of having
eaten too little.
Nothing is troublesome that
we do willingly.

ing the paper in his hand. II have be-

Suddenly a queer, ecstatic little
crow a sort Of gurgle Of Joy came
from the room beyond. He rushed
toward the sound and a moment later
emerged with bundle of something
in long, white skirts and topped by a
bald little head. 1t clutched tightly q
bottle half filled with milk.
He stopped mechanically and picked
up the crumpled note that had fallen
on the floor, and spread 1t out SO
he could read 1t again. At the bot
tom there was scrawled a line he had
failed to see the first time:
Il have taken Sarah, the maid with
me-"
Numbed, dazed, his mind refused to
grasp the situation. He raised his
eyes DULY. The small figure, still
hugging its source of sustenance,
dropped against his shoulder asleep.
His half conscious vision halted at
a photograph which for some reason
Annabel had always kept standing on
her desk-Muriel Wyndham.
In the old days Caruthers had al
ways taken his hopes, his ambitions,
his griefs, and laid them at the feet
of Muriel Wyndham. So, now, as by
mere force of habit-certainly there
was no illumination in that stricken
face-he carefully wrapped the limp
little body in a great fleecy robe and
hood which he found on a hook be-
hind the door, and, still with the air
of one without will he turned off the
light and went out.
Jack Caruther's walked steadily
along in the dusk of the summers
evening, holding closely his precious
bundle. until he reached the residence
of NUTcl's uncle. Muriel herself stood
- tlo gate.
II was expecting Ted" she said
by way of explanation. DO you know
/ he thinks the world of little tom and
Tommy just worships him."
"Muriel! Muriel!" said Caruthers,
thickly.
He thrust the crmpled note into her
rand and she read it by the waning
light.
She stood for a moment, with
averted face, irresolute, the evening
breeze tossing the lace scarf at her
throat, her white gown drifting about
| her.
Jack" she said, jerkily, using the
parlance of her college boy brother,
"you-you-you got what was coming
! to you!"
She turned swiftly, making to go in
to the house, but stopped as suddenly.
The floating ends of her scarf had
caught on something and checked her
flight. She put up her hand to loosen
the obstruction and touched some
thing warm and sofia tiny baby fist,
clutching tightly the filmy meshes Of
lace. A pair of blue eyes-Annabel's
eyes, a little rounder, scarcely more
infantile in expression-gazed UNI
winkingly into her own. The tiny I'm
