commenced to unload big box.

upon the narrow ledge of stone.
Il suppose she's too stuck up to speak

Catherine did not exactly snub the

blunder which was almost as bad. She

to be christened on the afternoon of the
memorable party.

The days passed rapidly until the
bee from a position In the window of
her home behind sheltering curtains
looked out upon a world that lacked
sunshine. The horrible truth dawned
upon her when noontime came. She
was not invited to the party! She had
been snubbed, forgotten!
Her mother had been called suddenly
away, and the big house was deserted
except for herself She went sobbing
into her mothers room and tore off the
new dress regardless of lace and snap
ping black ribbons.
She did not dare leave the house.
Little girls in starched dresses were
fitting past with their maids, and she
would be laughed at. Every one would
ask her why she was not going to the
party, and then the humiliating truth
must come out: She crept slowly to
the window in the front room and
peeped through the curtain. There
they were-ft was after nova small
procession of her friends. laughing and
no n l,n hi olN
was in store for them.
Two tear stained hands doubled up
in the snowy curtains. Miss Wether-
bee was righteously angry.
1t was not until the procession of
new dresses had gone into the shad-
ows beyond the big polished door of
the house opposite that Miss Wether-
bee saw Jim. He was seated on the
steps of her own door
Ordinarily she would not have given
him thought. but now anger at 9th
ers brought her into closer touch with
this vagrant. Jim was whistling to
himself and watching the big house.
he looked up.
There was a hurried brushing aside
of tears, and a moment later she had
opened the door.
"They think they're big. don't they?"

direction of the other house.

Miss Wetherbee would have said
something, but the big poster in Jim's
capacious pocket attracted her atten-

when the announcement was made
that Catherine was to give a birthday
