! Friday morning she awoke feeling
once more equal to her task, but still
looked so pale and i'll that the children
took pity on her, and were on. their
good behavior all day. Callers came
late in the afternoon, however, and
she did not think of the message to
her sister until after she retired that
night, and sleepily promised herself to
write Sarah long letter next day.

of the children was necessarily fol-

and when the cooks back was turned,
snatched a chocolate cake which she
had just baked for Sunday. She was
too fat and unwieldy to give chase,
and went grumbling and suffering
to Janet with her complaint of dem
rampageous chillun."
After evening tea with one &C.
cord they all demanded to be told
stories. Gathering them on the cool
vine-clad piazza, Janet breathed sigh
of relief at this easy mode of enter
tanning them, and then began the
"once upon time," 50 dear to chill
dren's hearts. But the more she told,
the more they demanded, and when
the whistle of the train from the west
blew, at eight o'clock, she was still
trying to cater to their Unsuitable appe-
titles for stories, though her mouth
was dry and she felt that her tongue
would soon be hanging out.
A hack drove rapidly up the street
and stopped at their gate, and her
heart gave a great bound as in the
gathering twilight she recognized the
two persons coming up the walk as
her sister and her brother-in-law.

Baker gathered her brood to her am

she just could not stand it any longer.

In the relief of feeling herself free
from responsibility, all the shortcom-

and Janet told ner sister that it had
been nothing but negligence on her
part that had caused her to overlook
writing, and that the children had
been all that could be desired
But it was noticed thereafter that
when the subject of embarrassing was
preached in her presence, she always
remained conspicuously silent
