He Didn't SAY II.

He was good little boy. and be.
lived not many miles from Boston. He.
never disobeyed his mother; he. never
called her names when her orders
were not his wishes. and. he, had the
face of an angel. Next door lived lit

Harry was allowed to, go over to play
with Rosy. but with. strict orders not
to take off his hat and coat to go In
the house If Rosy could not come out
into the yard.
Rosy could not come out, but would
not Harry take. off his things and play
inside? Harry quoted sadly his moth
er's Injunction.
"Your mamma is silly" said Rosy
Grossly.
Harry went home and told hts moth
er what Rosy had said. "She is a very
naughty little GIRL" his mother de-
clared. "You must never say such a
word"
mo, mamma. / won't" said the duti-
full Harry.
A few days later he was again for.

greatly desired to do. Mamma" said

"Yes," acknowledged Roger. Il could
be happy, too, in home like this if 1
bad the right person to share it with

For fleeting moment her eyes met
his and then, startled and with her
face flushed, she ran up the path to
the veranda.

the first step. there's no one living

though, In in n nice little place like
this"
She caught the cat up in her arms
"How Harriet would enjoy the
place." unused Roger. Look, there's
big open fireplace in the front room,
and there's fine, dandy place where
we could have our piano.
"We?" gasped the girl. With her
face aflame and with the cat clasped
tightly she ran off down the path.
But Harriet, who had been purring
very contentedly in her mistress arms,
now became very angry. She snarled
and dug her claws into Bessie's coat
down.
''Why, harriett!" she exclaimed In
panied astonishment. What's the
matter with he-? She never acted
that way before
"I'm sure I don't know" replied
Roger. "But look what she's doing:
now. Harriet may be very peculiar

He pointed ut HARRIET, who, on be-.

up the path to the veranda On the
veranda she walked around in circle
once or twice and then curled herself
up on the floor in almost the identical
spot and almost the identical manner
as before.
'Well, I never!" cried the girl. She
hurried back to the veranda and, sit
ting down on the top step, began pet
ting the cat. Roger lost no time in sit
ting down beside Bessie.
"Dear!" he cried as he managed to
tmprison one Of her hands. Dear
heart, why not follow the road Har-
riett has pointed out? Why not let
this dear little house be Harriett's
home and at the same time real home
for you and me? Come, dear, 1t only
needs a minister and marriage license
to make us all three happy
ooh, will; will" she cried sud
denly. throwing her arms about Rog-
er's neck. Wen none of us be lonely
again.
Harriet. with sigh of content that
appealed to the couple as almost hui

loudly, rubbed her side against the
