A Pew toments OF Leisure.

Thrift and industry have been the
guiding stars of Miss Jelly's life. Dur.
ing a sojourn In the Adlrondacks with
an invalid niece she made the best of
her time and has only twenty four
hours to reRret-hours during which
she was lost In deep woods into which
she had ventured to search for de
sired medicinal plant
Her absence much alarmed her niece
and when the search party at last re-
turned with Miss Jelly, whom they
had found hungry, but safe, the niece
fell on her aunts neck.
"Oh, Aunt Phoebe" she sobbed,
