of a reward at one end or the other.
Just as he was about to turn the corner
of the hall a door opened and voice
called:
Come here, Ephraim!'
It was Dick, and he held a note In his
hand.
..I'Il give you dime II you take this note

''All right. sab. all right, ana again
Ephraim sped on his way.
He was gone, however, longer than any
one expected. Poor Dick was stamping
around in the gentlemens dressing ROOM

Lulu in her turn was sure that DICK hao
waylaid Ephraim and had found out all
about It, Ephraim In the meanwhile, In
tent on money making had gone to Dick
house at one end of town, and to Lulu
at the other, which had caused consider
able delay. 1t was no wonder that he
reached home painting.
"I reckon dis hyar wild de writin' on 1t is
fur little Missy" he said to himself. for
though Ephraim couldn't read, he wouldn' I
allow anything to know 1t; and so he tapped
on the door of the ladies' dressing room.
Then he ran down the hall to where DICK s
head peeped out of the door from time TO
time.
"Hurry up,' called Dick you most lost

tossed the coin, which rolled down the hall.

peared in answer to the whistle.

know who sent you for the others; bring
them back with you right away
But Dick wouldn't let his prize go SO

and try them on Having been discovered
himself he was eager to find out his fellow
sufferer.
Meantime the dancing was going dis
tractingly on and poor Lulu was losing the
precious moments. Ephraim carried back
the message with a grin. Just then the
music struck up favorite waltz. and Lulu
was conquered.
Tell him want them" she said in des-
peration. and Ephraim brought them back
at once.
There was much laughter when at last
Dick came to her. and the shoes that
pinched lay forgotten during long even
ing of enjoyment. Then after the dance
they tucked them under their arms, and
made much fun over their plight as they
walked happily home in their battered old
boots.

OF chocelate-the unsweetered kind
One fourth of a pound, and Of butter q lump
Like a walnut Is ample, you'll find
Melt all of the chocolate over the steam
OF a kettle that merrily sings;
And you may sing, too you busiiy stir
In one saucepan these various things.
Now beat well together and set them to boil
Ten minutes, fifteen at need;
But stir all the time with long kitchen spoon
II your fudge" would be "fudgy' indeed.
When 1t thickens enough to lift OF the stove
Pour in your vanilla to taste,
Then beat ii again with a light, skillful hand
You have two Or three minutes to waste.
While cook gresses the pan just keep stirring
around;
Remember tits not work, but fun.
Then pour out your candy and set 1t to cool,
And when 1t b very near done
Cut into small squares Just the size of bite,
And pass II around with a Will.
For when that has vanished tits easy again
The pans with fresh candy to All.

Henry Four the Lolards smote; '"''-i

Fought the popes and house of lords
He the last OF the name.
Left but little good to fame.

The men who made the road for us
Dug lots and lots of daisies up;
And sister found, and planted one
Quite caref'lly in rusty cup.
While all its fellows died away
This little daisy raised its head,
And, as she watered it each day,
1t soon appeared quite comforted.

And saw its little blossom white,
She danced and sung and danced again
Around the table in delight.
The daisy had one yellow eye.
And she does solemnly aver
1t watched her, as she capered by,
And bowed and winked its eye at her!
