That day Miss Theodosia sat
reading in her sunny kitchen. She
preferred it to any other room in
the house. Now that the children
were gone, the others seemed dark
and desolate, and, after all, habits
of lifetime are hard to break 1t
was in the kitchen that most of
her life had been spent. There
had been no time to cultivate the
gentler and more pleasing arts.
The stern realities of a hard life
had thrust all that aside. In the
years Of meal-getting and dish
washing, in The periods of nursing
and sewing and patching, Miss
Theodosia had learned to Stihe her
ambitions.
The mother of the family had
died when she had only passed II.

her shoulders had fallen the task

and shy by nature, she had early
learned to ciTace herself, to let
others take the pleasant things.

ily did not mean TO be selfish. but
they were. ''ThcOdosia didn't

dence. the elder sister was left

d0Sia had dreamed great dreams.

and bent and wistful-eyed
but the time had been when she
was as slender as a sapling, with
fearless eyes and a sweet, laugh.

that she was jS. at the picture she
had made at II. 1t had been her
dream, too, ever since she had
been little tOddling child, to be
a great musician. She loved mu-
sic. She breathed it in every
breath she drew, for she had an
ear attuned to plaintive chords
and sweetest melodies.

Mrs. Hunt put the paper back

"Well?" she said, "well?"
Miss TheodOsia had risen. One
hand grasped tightly the chair
back. There was a rapt look on
the sweet, worn face. Mrs.

I've prayed for a piano all my

When the piano had been safely
set up in the little house, all the
children came to see it, There it
stood in its beautiful case with its
crimson velvet stool and its glis-

the plain furnishings of the small
room.
