Her breathing grew more and more
Iabored, and the end was not far away.
Janet, DEAR" she whispered pain
fully-"Janet, promise me now, dean
that you Will never let anything sepa-
rate you and Burt"
The girl kissed her wonGeringly and
promised softly.

tired voice, "how much longer have

swered the ancient doctor, with tears
in his eyes. Perhaps few hours"

the loving tones, lean over me, my
son. You and Janet must be married

of into silence,
without waiting to consult Janet,
Burton stepped to her side, and In
few moments the service was over and
the dying woman had placed her trenn-
bling hands on their bowed heads and
passed peacefully TO the land where
sorrow Is never known.
A month or 80 after his mothers
death Burton decided to move his wife
to the city, where he could be at home
every night. So Janet went to the lit
tie home to pack up the dead mothers
boxes. 1t was sad task, and Janet'a
eyes overlooked many time, for she
had loved the dear old lady as a
daughter
In going through the ancient desk
she found a large package marked IN
the delicate old fashioned hand, For
my son Burton, to be opened after his
marriage with Janet" Janet fingered
it curiously, but slipped 1t into her bag
unopened. When in their coy library
that night she brought it TO her hus-
band, saying:
~Burt, dear, do open this. am so
curious"
A queer smile passed over her hus-
bands face as he broke the string and
out rolled all the well remembered
manuscripts of Janetss, ''The Apple Or.
chard In Full Bloom and others.
"Burtonp' she cried in surprise.
@Why, Burton, how on earth did your
mother ever get theseY'

holding her closely In his arms, my

More In the Family.

GATHERINGS maternal grandmother
died suddenly, and she found it hard
from the three-year-old point of view
to understand the new order of things.
A few days after the funeral she
was sent to visit an old family friend
that her mother might enjoy day Of
uninterrupted quiet. Very seriously
she related how they had put her
grandma in a deep black hole and mo-
body could see her any more.
Her hostess was profuse in her ex-
pressions Of sympathy and tried to
Impress the little one that she, too,
would miss her grandmother very
much.

claimed; ''I've got another one."-New
