why, it's little Polly Lawton," she said,
kindly. Have you come with message
from your mother, my dearw
No, IN, II came for myself, stammer-
ed Polly; and then, forgetting the little
speech she had been coming as she came
along, and trembling with eagerness, she put
the question at once: Did Mrs. Reardon
want any flowers for Tuesday night? $
Eyes, of course l do was the reply. Il
want a great many"
''Then won't you take mine?" cried Polly.
Il have the loveliest roses and hyacinths
you ever saw, Mrs. Reardon, and such pam
sies And-and want to make some money
so muchl'
Frost, the florist on Elm street" she said,
but / am quite willing to make change
for this time, anyhow-and you may bring
me all the flowers you can spare. Polly. l
will pay you at the rate L have paid Mr.
Frost"
''Thank you, Mrs Reardon," said happy
Polly, whose face was fairly radiant now. Il
will bring you every flower i have"
Bring them on Tuesday at five o'clock"
said Mrs. Reardon, "and don't be too
patronage, Polly. You know flowers are
cheap at this season If you had hot-house
now, and could keep them blooming all win
ter, you, might make all >the money you
wanted.
She could scarcely wait for Tuesday to come
and at dawn of day she was among her roses,
scissors in hand. When Joe came out after
breakfast, not a flower was to be seen.
Polly, what have you been doing?" he
asked.
Cutting off all the flowers" answered Pol
ly, who was already at work in the garden.
At four o'clock Polly started for the town,
her flowers packed in wet cotton in two great
market-baskets, and, as they had been kent
in the. cool cellar all day, they were looking
beautifully fresh when given into Mrs. Rear
don's hands,
She was delighted with them, and after
treating Polly to cake and lemonade, sent her
home with twenty-dollar bill in her hand
You'd better set up as a rival to Mr.
Frost right off," said Joe, when he had heard
his sisters story
Il would if had a greenhouse" said
Polly. But l can't raise great many flow

Mrs. Lawton, who had spent the mornino
at Mrs. Reardon's and had then gone TO worSH
for some one else, almost cried when Sie sbe
saw the twenty-dollar bill and heard how Il

"Pah, who ever heard anything so silly?
Girls always talk such trash! | wouldn't
say a word against your flowers if you could
sell them as Mr.. Frost sells his; but / think
it real waste Of time for you to raise em
just for yourself"
"Mr. Frost has a large hot-house, and has
made business of raising flowers all his
life" said Polly. There's a great differ
Yes, and he's man, and that makes
a difference" said Joe, with a short laugh.
II suppose it does" and Polly looked rath-
er despondent Girls don't seem to have
much of a chance in the world, somehow"
They haven't any chance against men, of
course" said Joe, with an air of superiority.
"Graciousl how hot this sun isl 1 believe
III have to go in.'
"Oh, Joe! it's only eight o'clock. The sun
can't be very hot at this hour"
you mayn't find it So" said Joe, "but
it is hot, all the same, and | know if ] stay
out here I'll have one of my sick-headaches
inside of five minutes"
Polly sighed. Joe was always threatened
with a sick-headache when he didn't want
to work. and she knew that it would be of
little use to try to persuade him to remain;
but when she looked at the weeds growing
thickly about the vegetables her heart sank
Stay just a little while longer, joe she
said, pleadingly "You know we won't have
any money for next winter if we don't make
a good crop, and can never do all this weed
ing alone"
'lt'n have to go undone, then" said joe
81 can't kill myself for the sake of few
dollars; ! ought to have been born rich !
don't believe it was ever intended that /
should slave like dog from morning to night
1t may suit you, for you're a girl but it
doesn't suit me, and never will"
And he threw down his hoe. and walked
off, tanning himself with his straw hat.
Polly had heard that speech, with slight
variations, a hundred times at least, but
she wasn't convinced yet that Joe's inabi-
ity to work arose from any peculiar delicacy
of constitution. He was large and strong for
his age, and the severe sick headaches of
which he complained were never a bar to his
going fishing or playing quoits, or doing any
thing else which he particularly fancied.
Polly kept on wedding faithfully but her
heart grew no lighter Her mother, who went
out to sew by the day. had complained only
the evening before of failing eyesight, and had
said that she could no longer work on black
material and that this inability would make
her earnings very much less, for people seem
ed to wear black in preference to anything
else.
"And if mothers eyes give out, we won't
have anything but the garden to depend
on" thought Polly.
AS the words formed themselves in her
Los Angeles herald., 1906-06-03

mind, she heard the sound of wheels, and
looking up, saw a buggy stop at the gate
An old gentleman and an old lady were IN
The buggy, and, as Polly came to the gate,
they smiled and nodded to her.
"We stopped to see if We could beg
few of your roses" said the old gentleman
1--WE live in the town, and haven't so much
as a spear OF grass ourselves
Polly hesitated moment. Her flowers
seemed a part of herself, and she had never
before been asked to give any of them away.
But she was very unselfish, and her heslta-
ton was so brief that neither OF the old
people perceived it,
"Of course will let you have some,
she said, cheerfully.
And she ran into the house for pair of
scissors.
She went from bush to bush, clipping red,
white pink and yellow roses until the old
lady called to her to stop.
"FThat is enough, my, child she said
"You are robbing yourself
AS Polly handed the fragrant bouquet INTO
the buggy, the old gentleman dropped
shining gold dollar into her apron pocket.
"Buy yourself something pretty, my dear"
he said.
And before she could exclaim that she
didn't want to take anything for her roses
he had whipped up his horse and driven away.
"If l could only sell some of my flowers
every day, mother wouldn't have to work
so hard" she thought. How nice it would
be If she could stay at home all the time,
and Just attend to the housework. But then,
of course, / can't expect good old gentlemen
with gold dollars to come along very often"
As she hid the money under a pasteboard-
box in the top drawer of her mothers bureau,
her eyes fell on a note lying on the pin-cush-
ion.
1t was from Mrs. Reardon, very wealthy
and fashionable lady in the town, and she
wanted Mrs. Lawton to come to her the fol-
lowing Tuesday; for she was to give large
party, and would need some extra help for a
"How wish could go to that party and
see all the fine dressesl" thought Polly. And
then-she never knew exactly how it was--the
idea flashed into her mind that probably Mrs.
Reardon would need some flowers for the oc-
casion.
then, hastily locking the door of the house,
and putting the key under the door-mat,
where Joe would be sure to look for it if he
came home before she did. she started off
down the road, too much excited to recollect
that she had on her old straw hat and pair
of shoes very much the worse for wear.
But she rang the door-bell with firm hand,
and was SO fortunate as to have it opened
for her by Mrs Reardon herself, who was

Joe, who was a big boy of seven
teen, and Polly's elder by three years, was
marching toward the vegetable garden with
hoe over his shoulder and very surly look
on his face.
'Oh, come on" he snapped, Grossly. you re
always fooling over those flowers. Let 'em
alone today, at least. and see if you can help
me little with the wedding.
81 think | help you a good DEAL SAID
Polly. : My. hands are blistered now from
using that hoe yesterday"
"Y ou told me that last night; but l sup
pose | shall hear it regularly every day for
a week, and might as well make up my mind
to it. Girls always talk so much about every
little thing!" and very contemptuous look
came on Joe's face
Polly didn't reply; for she knew by expert
ence that argument would only make mat
ters worse. Joe's temper was not of the
best, and any contradiction always threw him
into passion Polly stood in perpetual fear
of storm, and she always knew by her
brothers face when he came down stairs in
the morning just what sort of weather to
expect. She had seen at breakfast, when he
began by complaining Of the coffee, that
there was a prospect Of squalls for the rest
of the day, and she had braced herself to
meet them calmly.
So she hummed a tune as she knelt down in
the soft earth of the garden to weed the
onions, and took no notice of the fierce and
angry chopping her brother was keeping up
IN row OF potatoes near by.
"I'm sick of that tune" he burst out, at
last. IF you must hum, do try something
else"
'I'd just as soon keep still. / didn't
know it bothered you,' said Polly. And

Need We Ask
HOW WOULD YOU LIKE
TO BE THE ICE MAN
Butcher Who Kept His Money on Ice
and Encased In An Old Shoe, Has
the Shoe, Money and All stolen-He
Accuses the Ice Man Of the Theft.

NEW YORK, July 11.-Henry Sit
ter. a butcher, OF No. 127 Grand street
Williamsburg, reported to the Bedford
avenue police station last night that
$4,000 which he had hidden in an old
shoe on top of an ice box in his store,
had been stolen. Upon his complaint
Captain Pinkerton arrested Jacob
Schipple, an ice man, of No. 170 Meek
er avenue, on suspicion of having ia
ken the money, Sitter alleging that the
prisoner had been working around the
box during the day.
Sitter said that the contents of the
old shoe represented the receipts of the
store for the week. He explained that
he has no faith in banks or safe de-
posit vaults, and for long time had
been in the habit of using the shoe as
a depository for the funds of thestore.
The icebox is in the rear, and its top
about foot from the ceiling. A
moulding around the top prevented
persons in the place from seeing the
queer cash receptacle. Sitter consider
ed the shoe safer than a bank and be-
lieved that it would be the last thing
in which thief would look for money.
Although Sitter employs four or five
men in and about his place he insisted
that Schippelle must have found the
shoe in putting in ice. Schippelle de.
nies all knowledge Of the shoe or its
contents.

and he asked Scott by what authority
he had taken the keys and locked hi
out of the house. Scott, for reply, in
vited him out in the corrall, and he
went, not suspecting anything out of

which is used to drive cattle into cars
and which is about the size of a pitch
fork handle, and pushed him over.
When he fell Scott stood over him and
beat him with the pole viciously. Scott
broke the pole three times over his
head and arms. Bolt claims the attack
on him was unprovoked and that it was
premeditated by Scott.
Scott, on the other hand, presents a
widely different tale. He claims Bolt
has no authority at the ranch, that he
is simply an employe. That he has
been continually interfering with his

the matter he had Sheriff Lamb settle
the matter by turning the keys over
to himself. Scott claims that in the
