Prize Story

H1 HE little girl was very glad she
had found her dear cousin
n Tommy's friend. She at once took
him into her confidence and told him
her mamma had gone away to stay
with one of her aunties. who was sick,
so she thought she would go to see her
Cousin Tommy.
The man asked her if she had ever
been away from home alone before,
and she told him that her mamma had
always said she was too little.
The man got up, took the little girl
by the hand and walked to the front
of the car. He told the driver to stop
at the next street. The man got off
first and then lifted the little girl off.
They had walked about three blocks
down the street when who should the
little girl see but her own Cousin
Tommy.
She hastily left the man and ran to
Tom. She told her cousin of her ad-
venture and they both ran into the
house. The little girl entirely forgot
to thank the man for his kindness.
Who should she see face to face but
her ow ndear mamma! 1t was Tommy's
mamma her Aunt Mary, who was sick.
The little girl was given something to
eat and her mamma was too glad be-
cause she had got her little Marie safe
ly with her to punish her.

attache just below the box occupied
by the princess and her party. In
spite Of the fact that he was a gentle
man born and bred he could not con-
quer countless impulses to look at the
flower face Of the royal auditor.
Gradually the program led up to the

Chase arose and cheered with the
assemblage when the distinguished d.
rector made his appearance. Then he
proceeded to forget the man and his
genius-in fact. everything save the
rapt listener above him. She was lean

chin in her hand, her eyes looking
steadily ahead, enthralled by the mu-
sic. Suddenly she turned and looked
sQuarely into his eyes, as If impelled
by the magnetism they unconsciously
employed. A little flush mounted to
her brow. as she quickly resumed her
former attitude. Chase cursed himself
for Il brainless lout.

crowd arose to cheer the bowling, smil-
