She lived, or rather existed, down
a damp, filthy cellar, with an old crone

time in administering blows to force
her to grow up crooked than in train

aware of that fact, never having

A PINCH OF SALT.

The true value of salt in food Is best

everything we eat is without flavor.
Since its introduction salt has steadily

row, thought of Patsey continually.
"She's the only one living of all, an
she'll come to her old father SOON"
BY and by this thought grew upon him
until he fixed the date for her re-
turn to his arms. She'll be here on
Christmas MORN" he told everybody
who came to see him, and on Christ
mas morning he awoke early and
called to his sister:
Mary, l dreamed of little Patsey
last night; three times | dreamed Of
her. | thought she was here. Where
have you hid her, Mary?" he demand
ed ENORMOUSLY. Fetch her to me,
Mary. My heart aches to see her"
Faith, your Patseys like all the
rest we spent good money on. They've
all forgotten we in your need"
"No, no, Mary, Patsey would never
forget-listen, Mary" and he held up
his finger. THE sound of wheels
they stop at the door-run, Mary, it's
Patsey, mavourneen."
The door flew open and in rushed a
lovely, magnifcently dressed young
lady, who literally cast herself upon
the sick man, hugging and kissing him
while weeping tears of JOY.
Flanagan thought he was dreaming,
for he lay still some moments sub
hitting to the delicious caresses, but
by and by his brain cleared and he
awoke to the reality
"Patsey, acushla, they're all gone
but you, an you did not forget?"
Never, never, dearest father"
sobbed the girl.
"Patsey, do ye mind that it's Christ
mas morn. Let us give thanks, Patsey
darlln'." Which they did in each
others arms.
MARY, | think I'll get up an have
a turkey dinner. I've not had one for
years"
And I'll have it with YOU" said
Patsey, and tomorrow, too, and
every day of your life hereafter you
shall have a Christmas dinner if you

"Includin' turkey Patsey? / think

Yes, and cranberry sauce. all you

ing about with joy at the very idea OF
being run in as a disorderly charac-
ter.
Easy now, chicken, we haven't the
idea in mind. I'll not run ye into the

he, following an inspiration. How
would we like to go home with me,
Patsey, an be one of my little ones?
| have two already, an | yearn for
third. Ye shall have your fill of good
eatin' an drinkin', no beatin's, an go
to school. What do We say, my girl?"
Patsey's eyes grew large with aston
ishment,- and pushing back her elfin
locks, for all answer, she pressed her
tender lips upon his great, rough
hand. The mute appeal almost broke
the big mans heart, and he brushed
his eyes with the back of his free
hand. Taking her up in his arms, he
said:
BE ready, darlin', in the morn
when I go off duty. I'll come an get
we an have brush with the old wom-
an for ye." She pressed her cheek
close to his in token of affection and
thus he carried her to the corner of
the alley and sat her down, bidding
her be good and go to sleep without

Mrs. Flanagan was as bad as her
husband in such things. "'Tis only
one more small mouth to fill, an We'll
fill it, please God. Now, away you to
bed, Mike. an by the time We are
ready for duty this night, I'll have the
child made over so that you'll not
know her."
Patseys lines had indeed fallen in
pleasant places. She soon forgot ner
coarseness and vulgarity in the pure
surroundings of home, and, animat-
ed by the force of good examples, she
soon became model young lady. She
was treated as one of the family, and
her tractability and amiable DISPOSE

Hoo Thieves Busy.

FREMONT-Hog thieves made a
raid southeast of Hooper few nights
ago. At Mrs. McMullen's place they
took two fat hogs, and three at Charles
Ladd's home. Tracks in the snow
showed that probably two men did the
job, hauling off the plumber in a farm
wagon. One of the hogs, the tracii
showed, got out of the wagon after
having gone about half mile and
the next morning was back in its
pen. Thus far the thieves have not
been apprehended.

wife on the subject.
What, me give up me own flesh an

In your rounds. II was a jewel you
found, to be sure, but can better af-
ford to give her a future than you.
Give her the chance, man. She de-
serves 1t at your hands"
Then the whole story came out, and
the lady was more determined than
ever to have the girl, believing that
blue blood was in her veins. Finally,
Michael and his wife submitted to
the pain of separation for the good of
the child. She herself refused and
threatened to run away and hide in
the slums II they tried to force her
to leave her cop" as she always
called Flanagan. But gentle persua-
sion accomplished the desired result,
and she at last consented to be good
and go with the lady.
Remember, Patsey darlin," said
Flanagan in his last interview with
his pet, IL am always your father"

that place in my heart" she said as
she broke from his arms and ran
away sobbing as If her heart would

Many years passed, End Flanagan
did not hear from his lost Patscy.
That was part of the hard bargain
wrung from him by the lady who
adopted her. Some time you will

as not to spoil her future" was what
the lady said.
By and by reverses came to the
good man; first, his faithful compan-
ion went, then his daughters; one af-
ter the other was. stricken down by
the great destroyer. until Flanagan,
left alone. became indeed negligent
through over-much brooding. Instead

walked along, fiercely swinging his
club, in deep meditation. Suddenly a
violent push from behind nearly upset
him, and, turning quickly, he made a
grab, catching a small, elfish girl by
the arm.
II have one already begobs! What
do We mean by assaultin' the majesty
of the law? 'Tis high treason you're
committin'," and he said in what was
intended to be very severe tone of
voice, but there was a humorous
twinkle in his eye as he recognized
his little crony, Patsey.
If anybody had called her Patricia,
which was truly her real name, she
would not have tainted, for she was
not one Of the fainting kind, but she
would have considered the language

reach.
The child was hardly 10 in years.
but an adult in precocious knowledge.
She was more than comely, she was
positively pretty when her face was

face resembling that of young eagle
peering through dust brush, she was
as ugly as sin and as hateful as an In.
