Girl Gained Impressions that Proved

Girl Gained Impressions that Proved
Precious I'm After Years.
To reach the fairy godmother's you
went down the street to the still brown
house, and up three flights Of stairs,
where you felt as If shivery things
might happen, although they never did.
and then suddenly-the open door and
flood Of sunlight-golden-g green through
the geraniums and ivies and wander
lng-jew that grew on shelves across the
window-and the fairy godmother her
self, her whole tiny figure aglow with
welcome.
There were wonderful things In the
friry godmother's room-of course,
how could 1t possibly be otherwlsef
There were carved ivory jack-straws,
and a pen-wlper with apple-seed mice
on bags Of meal, and a marvellous pic
ture of "Crowning the May Queen"
worked In worsted and ss-stltch.
and enhancing amber beads with
which one could dress up and bas-
ket full Of shells from the West In
dies, and a sandalwood fan whose fra
GRANGE set one dreaming Of palms and
breadfruittrees-a that time ones
sole assets in the way of troplc seem
cry.
There were other things too less easi,
ly inventoried, although no less per-
ceptible to a chlld's quick insIght-a
sense of peace, golden-green, one fam
cied, like the light In the room-a sim
pie happiness gathered fresh each day,
lovely trust in the goodness of every
human being.
The fairy godmother slipped away
one night. She left behind her the
Jackstraws and the fan and the amber
beads, and the child put them among
her treasures. She remembered al
ways the shock with which certain dis
coverles came to her later.
why, she was poor !" she said aloud
one day, 1t was true, undoubtedly, in
spite Of the amber beads and the pen
wiper. And she must have been lonely
! often, she knew It, after meeting, years
later, the brother with whom the fairy
godmother had lived; and frail, the
bright remembered face revealed be-
fore unconsidered marks of pain. The
girl stood still, thrilled by rush Of
tenderness.
"Oh, she was brave!" she cried but
even then she only dlmly understood
Years later, in the midst of her own
difficult battle, she happened one day
upon the amber beads. Life had not
been easy-oh, 1t had been hard
hard! There were little bitter lines
deepening about her mouth. She had
not discovered them yet, but they were
coming. Now suddenly her eyes soft
ened and filed with tears.
II have the beads" she said. Can
I not Inherit, too, the courage and the
trustl l will. II she could, can and

The doctor had left the body and was
standing over by the window, again eI-

the magnifying glass. A slight e1clama-
tion from the bed caused him to glance
in that direction.
He could hardly repress cry Of sur

the cold, stiff body Of the murdered wom-
