look in her face vanished, for there were tears
shining IN Miss Alices eyes, and she knew
her kind friend was panied and shocked at
last.

Miss Alice only kissed the naughty lips in
reproof. Perhaps she felt that Trixs shock
ing words were not so unnatural, after all.
Yes, | think you had better write to your
father about Uncle Eph. Tell him all, frank.
~ and simply. as you you'd tell me. Sit down
at my desk If you wish, dear, and write your
letter now and here"
IrT sat down at Miss Alice's desk; and
Whether 1t was the violet-scented paper, OF
the pretty gold pen, or only the sweet face
OF the TREND seated opposite her, that inspir

went right TO the point. Trix pleaded for
Uncle Eph as if she pleaded for herself.
He is innocent, dear papa; l know he is.
But he has no friend in the world but you,
and he has served you faithfully all his life.
DO not leave him to die in prison now"
What do you think papa will do, Trix"
asked Tessie, in much impressed voice.
Bail Uncle Eph out first, l reckon" said
Trix, who had been talking law with Ralph.
Bail him out!" exclaimed Tessie in dis
may.
Not as if he were boat you little goose!"
laughed Trix. Bail-b-aEwhich means to

Tessle, astutely.

feel better than if he were locked up all win

who, will find the real thief. Ralph says a
good lawyer can find thief just like hound

says he has an uncle who could pipe this
whole business, and have the real thief in Jail
within twentyfour hours But papa would
have to pay for it, of course"
- And he will, | know. Send the letter,
Irix, urged Tessie, eagerly. Mail it right
away"
"Not if 1 can help it," whispered the
young listener on the other side of the wall,
as she hurriedly descended from her perch.
They're all against me. That letter shan't
go against me, too"
And she crept stealthily out of her door
and down the stairs, just in time to hear Trix
speak to James:
Cant you put it in the letter-box right
away, james,"

Of rough mercantile lumber should al
so be the market value, or cost price

prevent a further curtalling of prices
