about coming to wash tomorrow" said little
Mrs. Beachey to Grandma Nutter, who was
knitting by the window. you'll have an eye
to Tommy, il he wakes up9"
Yes of course, assented grandma.
And donning a freshy-ironed calico sun
bonnet, Mrs. Beachey went out the back way,
Through the garden and the orchard, to the
littl. logcab bin where Mary Jane ElderkIn
lived, with her mother
Grandma Nutter knitted away till her yarn
was used up, and still Tommy slept on.
81 reckon he'll sleep while | go up to the
garret and get another hank" thought the
old lady.
And slowly and toilsomely she assembled the
gdrret-stairs.
There were great many hanks of yarn
hanging from the low rafters and it took
Grandma Nutter some time to select shades
of blue and gray to go into the clouded yarn
sock she was knitting; and when at last she
returned to the sittng-room, Mrs, Beachey
was Just coming in through the kitchen door
Where's Tommy she asked, CHANGING
toward the couch, which was empty
Tommy" cried grandma. why, he was
sound asleep when ! went up to the garret
for some more yarn
He's gone! and the. front gates ,open!"'
cried Mrs. Beachey, wildly. "The creek! he's
And she flew out of the house and through
the gate. while Grandma Nlt.er sank, pale
and trembling, into chair.
The creek, which was short distance from
the house, was shallow enough at the ford,
but just above that the bank rose abruptly,
and the water lay deep and dark below.
The distracted mother flew wildly down the
road; but before she was halfway to the
creek bend in the road brought her vel
come sight. A little girl, in a ealico frock and
sun-bonnet, was hurrying along with two-year
old Tommy in her arms. Both were dripping
wet. and the little runaway was crying and
kicking Justify.
Tommy was soon in his mothers arms, and
Tury was explaining the accident.
'He was only in the water a minute" she
asserted. reassuringly. Il was on the other
side of the ford when he came running down
the bank and fell in; but; grabbed him out
almost as soon as he touched the water"
"Come home with me" said the grateful
mother, hugging little Tommy tighter than
ever. Il can't thank you here"
And when Tommy's wet clothes had been
changed, and Tury had dried hers by the
kitchen fire, and they had both had a cup OF
warm tea, to keep them from taking cold,
Tury told her, story, and how she had gone TO
the picnic and got lost.
"And you have no home nor relatives"
asked Mrs. Beachey, kindly. "Then you shall
have home with US. / want little girl,
anyway, to help, me with the milk and butter,
and take care of Tommy. Will you stay?"
And Tury was only too glad to accept the
offer.
When Mr. Beachey came home and heard
the story he thanked Tury warmly for what
she had done, and declared she should never
want for a home while they had a roof ;ver
their heads.
And Tury felt that she was very lucky
girl to go to that picnic and get lost

ing out OF town for short time now, or
would go and see your granny
And as she turned away, Tury sped of
around the corner, her pale face flushed with
surprise and joy.
Five whole dolarsl" she thought, exultant-
ly to herself. .,.'It'll buy granny some tea and
lots of things!"
-
Tury was on hand at Union Depot on the
appointed morning; but she loked in vain for
Miss Finch's pleasant face.
I'D know her. in minute if there, was 81
hundred others" she kept saying to herself
as she looked eagerly, but bashfully, around.
Twenty or thirty other little girls, most
of them dressed like herself, in calico trocks
and sun-bonnets, were grouped together IN the
waiting room, and several motherly looking
ladies lluttered about, keeping watchful eyes
on their numerous charges, but no Miss Finch
was to be seen.
Tury drew as near to the others as she
dared, and tears of disappointment Hood
in her eyes.
''What is the matter, my dear? Have, you
lost anybody" asked kind-faced elderly
lady, with gray curls and spectacles.
Anr Iury felt encouraged to tell her story
''Oh very well, said her new friend. Miss
Finch has not get back to town yet; but you
shall go to the picnic, so don't cry any
more, but come and sit here with these other
little girls" and, finding Tury a seat, kind
hearted Mrs. Linden hustled away to attend
to some one else.
And Tury dried her tears and tried to look
contented
The scene at Union Depot was new sight
to her, as well as to most Of the other little
girls in the company.
The fruit-stands, heaped with shining red
apples, golden oranges, bananas and other
fruit the crowds of well-dressed people COM
ing and going. taking their meals at the nu-
merous tables scattered about, or opening pri-
made breads and butter and pie; the walters
hurrying here and there on countless errands,
all engrossed Turys attention, till she seemed
lost in dream.
But at last the group of happy little girls
were led out from the depot safely en-
sconced in the proper car, and away they
steamed past the smoke-eovered buildings in
docks, past quarantine and jefferson bar
racks, with its soldiers and officers quarters,
and out into the open country.
Looking from the car windows they beheld
the sparkling waters of the broad Mississippi,
lying like a silver ribbon before them.
From the opposite window, thrifty, farms
and nesting farm houses appeared, with
cattle grazing on the long pasturegrass. and
grape and trumpet vines clambering over the
scrubby hawthorn and crab-trees by the road
side.
To Tury, who had once lived on a farm, the
rustic, sights brought back the memory of
home, and tears crept into her eyes as she re.
membered that she was now homeless and
alone, for even granny" was dead, and
Turys only shelter was such afforded
her by some humble friends as poor as her
self.

country win be asked to take part.
The instigator Of the movement in
this country il w. D. Whyte. secretary
Of the Columbia University Athletic
club. He has corresponded with Per-
cival Coles. secretary Of the Rugby
Football Union In London, and recent
ly received the following letter from
Mr.. Coles. In which the latter said:
II laid your correspondence before
my committee at their last meeting.
The whole matter will come up before
the International board at the meeting
Saturday, March II. The following
resolution will be proposed by this
union: 'That q conference be held
between delegates Of the Colonial
unions, the United States Of America
and the International board. such con-
ference to take place before the meet
ing Of the board in March, 1907"
The resolution providing for the con-
vention was taken up last Saturday,
and Mr.. Whyte. although he has not
heard the result, says that he has re-
ceived assurances from England which
lead him to believe that It was passed.
Those who are advocating Rugby az
an international game believe that the
western colleges will play an important
part in rousing interest in this country.
The University of California has sent
her football coach to England for the
purpose Of studying the English game
Mr.. Whyte hopes for an international

In a recent inter 'ie1' concerning the

statement, but do not think that It will
be played in the northwest for some

proper spirit. and the needs for a
change are not 30 imperative here az
in the east. AZ long as the game Is
played as It has been in the past. and
the faculties Of the universities give
the game their proper supervision,
there is no reason why It should not
