THE STORY OF MOTHER


C1D HE mother sat in the nursery.
Save for her and one other the
room was empty. Drawn up
close to the fireplace was little era
die in spotless white drapery. The
mother was gazing into the fire, her
thoughts far away in the future, and
yet busy with the cradle by her side.
Presently there was a slight stir amid
the soft coverings of the cradle. One
tiny foot asserted its presence, a little
pink crumpled up fist appeared round
the curtain, with much effort and
struggling two lids opened softly and
revealed the questioning wondering
eyes of baby.
The mother quietly bent over the
cradle. My little SON." she murmured
gently. Are you awake; have you
come back from Paradise? Tell mother
tenderly lifted the little burden on to
her lap and drew on the little blue
shoes
Just then the nursery door opened
and the father entered. "Oh, little
mother" he cried surveying the pretty
picture in front of him. You spoil
that child. Come and spoil me like
wise"
The mother gently put the baby
down on the soft rag and allowed her
self to be drawn into the embrace of
two strong, loving arms. She merely
drew him down upon the hearthrug,
and together they spent the happiest
hour Of their day with their first born.
BABY, where is your shoef' laugh
ed the mother presently, seeing that
one tiny foot was without its blue COW
ering
Together they searched for the little
shoe. but nowhere was ii to be found
There seemed to be no corner in which
IL could possibly be hidden. and nj
last, in obedience to the somewhat i'm
perative cries of King Baby, they had
to give up the search.
1T is not very valuable. after all 9"
said the big man cheerily, noticing n
troubled expression in his wife's eyes
Il did value it" she answered. with
her head bent low over her restless
burden. 1T was the first thing I made
for baby, and all the hopes and fears
| had seemed TO be knit into that ljft1,
blue shoe. 1t is because Of thar !

vacant eyes, which were bright win,

The Illusion Of Beino BUSY. !

A ridiculous notion is common that
we live in time when there are more
important world affairs on hand than
have ever been known before. and
there are Silly people, both men and
women, who expect to be admired for
a useless expenditure of their nervous
and physical energies on all sorts of
absolutely foolish objects into which
no particle Of intellect enters. Sim
ply to be always busy, always occu-
pied, always doing something, passing
restlessly from one piece of work to
another, to have their hands full. new
er to be idle. as they say, seems to be
their ideal life.
These precious muddlers, who plume
themselves on never being idle, pass
their time doing useless things under
the pretext of being busy, and they
assume credit for a purposeless ac-
tivity. The biggest people, those who
have really thought out their plan
of life, do not make the mistake of
doing what need not be done. They
have time for everything because they
do not imagine they are eoOnOmizing
time by occupying every few spare
minutes in being unnecessarily busy.

HER SECOND THOUGHTS.


The Young vicar Of Drelling came
out of the vestry, and, very straight
and very white-face and gown-knel'
for few moments, and then rose to
hssin the morning service.
Il was a tiny, unobtrusive old
church: a mere dot on the territory

vindows and turrets and fretted bat
tements-the work of many genera
tons of architects-commanded It at q
distance of about three furlongs like
A tiered battery of money bags.

he had not rung the bell. There was
no one else to ring it, and he-ft had

they had been pulled down by Invisible
hands as soon almost as he had noticed
their staring eyes and parted lips.
