She Knew the Saint.

Margery's cousin, Cecilia, was eight
cen and pretty. She was also devoted
TO music and spent hours practlcing on
a large pipe organ. This, together
with the fact that she invariably wore
rapt expression when so engaged,
earned for her the nickname of st.
Cecilia. 1t happened that Margery's
mamma was called to town and left
her fiye-year-old daughter In charge OF
an obliging neighbor. This lady un-
dertook to amuse her young guest by
showing her collection of prints,
among which was copy of the famil-
lar presentation Of the patron saint of
music seated at'the organ.
This, my dear" said the obliging
hostess, ''is picture of st. Cecilia"
1T doesn't look bit like her." spoke
up the tiny visitor
"Why, how do you known inquired

equally astonished Margery. "Why

teached me my prayers an how to
play Jackstones."
