eye, WITH open wonder wide.
She loved him well, as we'll she might,
to her SO true friend.
Twas at her feet his sweetest sleep no
matter what the end.
On his head her soft caress would ever
gently fall.
He found no pleasure half so great, SO
quick to heed her call.
He seemed to dwell within the realm
of mistress kindly will,
And in her heart OF tender thought
his image fingers still. IS
Seventeen years this trusty friend so
well he filled his part;
Poor old "Geff" oh when you died 1t
broke the households heart.
Within the home you loved so we'll
you gave your latest breath;
So now in faithful service your life,
your all till death.
On tender memory's vivid page the
name OF "Geffie" reads,
The story of faithful friend, lesson
vel, to heed,
A lesson taught in silence so full Of
meaning fraught,
That higher nature we'll might heed,
nor wait till dearly bought.
We laid him in his little grave, the
last that we could do;
And DER him fell the tender tears, a
friend SO good, so true.
But in our hearts his image dwellS,
the tale we have to tell
OF one SO faithful to his last,
Poor "Geff1e Dog" FAREWELL!

'Its-it's Wilhelmina" gasped Eleanor

Then the doctor understood. and instead

"And If one or all Of you want to come

saucer of Mrs. Bruce's molasses candy-for

Billy Dick was just the incest boy i'm
aginable. but somehow when he was turned
loose on his uncIe's farm this summer he
developed a fondness for teasing. ,-
Perhaps it was because he had never
before had much Of chance to see how
easily most girls are leased. You know he
lived with his mother and baby sister.
Rosie Posie. and he was the only man his
mother had when his father was away from
home doing his duty in the navy.
But this summer was full Of joy for his
mother, for Capt. Morton was on his leave.
So Rosie Posie and Billy Dick had come
up to Uncle Garth's farm to be good while
their mother and father went of on beau
tiful vacation together.
"A second honeymoon. Billy Dick" his
mother had said. as she Rugged him and
read the letter that told her about the trip.

Billy Dick they certainly would have told
him that any little boy who bore the name
of his illustrious grandfather. Milton Mont

Billy Dick for short, would never lend him.

girl.
AS it was. Billy had too many things to
think of. and was so delighted with them

their fiat" They lived in the country
and one big room on the top floor of the
playroom. This they called their flat"
having divided 1t off in their minds into
parlor, dining room, bed rooms and kitchen,
like a real apartment. None Of them had
ever lived in q fiat, but Eleanor had once
spent the night in her aunt's little fiat in
the city, and 1t seemed SO coy and like a
doll house that she would always remem-
Der it.
The three little girls were married Sis
tiers when they lived in the fiat, whose hus-
bands were travelling on business. Eleanor
was Mrs. Winthrop. Gertrude was Mrs
Malcolm and Lorraine Mrs. Williams, and
there were a number of little Malc0lmS
and Williamses and Wnthrops. who kept
the young mothers quite busy. Each took
care of her own children and part Of the
fiat, and Mrs. Williams taught school, while
her sisters planned the meals.
On this particular afternoon Lorraine and
Gertrude were quite early. and splendid
game Of "house" was soon in full swing.

hurrying and scurrying to get the beds
made and the rooms busted, as they ex-
pected company to lunch, while Mrs, VIII

was too much for her nerves. 81.
"Sister! Sister,! screamed Mrs. Williams
Come quick. Wilhelmina has convolutions.'
Mrs. Winthrop and Mrs. Malcolm were
