"WHEN THE FROST IS on THE
PUMPKIN AND THE FODDER'S.
IN THE SHOCK"

1t mattered little to Miss Gray
she would be married at mid-Novem-
ber-but f,r Miss Brooks, older by
ten years, and without kindred or
lover. the loss was measurelesS i'll.
Not that she realized it as such at the
outset. Miss Gray was kinder than
a young woman getting ready to be
-arried could reasonably have been
expected to be; and Miss Brooks her
self was Of q sweet and CHEEKY ma

door had shut another would present

place for her in another department
Of Hodge & Gammon's, though at
lower wages. Through her long serv-
ice and limited experience, her life
had grown into the very building and
she shrank from an absolute change
almost as from the wrenching asun-
der of soul and body. But the gray
streaks in her soft brown hair
stopped her return to the salesrooms
=, with bars of adamant.
Those same gray streaks, from
whici. her fresh, unwrinkled skin,
bright eyes and trim alert figure
seemed powerless to distract the at
tention of possible employers, proved
her undoing at every quest. In var1-
Gus phrases, softened now with half
contenptuous pity, sharpened anon
with cynical brutality, she was denied
in her timid application as too old

The gray streaks had Widened ..ur-

features had .harpened and the deli

against the proverbial rainy lay,
after twenty years of poorly paid
labor, had been small at best, but it
was smaller even than it, need cave
been, for Sarah Brooks had never
been able to withhold her mite from
a fellow-creature in distress. And
now, despite the wonted insane fem
mime economies in food and street
car fare, the tiny hoard was lessen

debtors should return his or her
loan.
A per>mptory knock on her door
brought her sharply back to reality.
"Gentleman in the parlor to see

kins, the landlady, with the rising in
