One beautiful fall day many years
ago a little girl whose name was
Blanche Gaynor was travelling with a
friend of her fathers. For several
years she had been making her home
with her grandparents, who lived in
the far west.
When Blanche, who was now years
old, was a tiny baby she had met with
a great misfortune-She had lost her
mother by a sudden illness. She could
not remember her, but she had always
cherished a sweet idea of young and
pretty woman bending over her and
calling her darling Blanche" So,
when her grandfather read letter to
her from her father saying he had mar
ried again, this time very young girl
ony II years old, and had bought
small farm in the mountains of Vir-
ginia, she was wild with joy, and when
her grandfather read that now Blanche
was to come and live with them, the
little girl danced around the room sing
ing. my dream has come true.
have young and pretty mamma to
call me darling Blanchei"
Then her grandfather looked very
wise and said: Dear little girl, you
are filled with joy, and it is right you
should love your new mother, but per-
haps she may not love you just at
first. In case that should happen do
not become unhappy; be dutiful, be
cheerful, be useful, be obedient and !
feel sure all will be we'll"
Blanche was to go to a good country
school, which was only mile distant
from her fathers farm. Her grand
father had given her an Indian pony,
who was to carry her backward and
forward every clear day; so now the
little girl was travelling to her fathers
home, her heart filled with joy and de-
light, but when she reached the noun
tain station she met with a sad disap-
pointment; her father and her new
mother, whose name was Meta, were
there to meet her.
Her father gave her a loving greet
ing, and when he said: blanche, here
is your new mamma" Blanche ran to
her crying: Dearest mamma, I hope
you will love mel" But Meta replied
in cold tone: do not call me man.
ma; 1 am far too young to be your
mother. Call me Aunt Meta" oh, how
disappointed little Blanche felt; but
she remembered the wise advice of her
grandfather, and determined to fol-
low it.
Blanche, with her loving ways and
pretty face, soon gained the affection
of the mountain children. and she was
so generous to them, allowing them to
ride on Pinto's back, that they ,were
her devoted friends.
When the little girl had dwe.t in her
mountain home about year size came

down stairs one morning and found a
new baby brother, lying in tiny crib
in Meta's room, then Blanches true
and loving nature shone forth, her joy
was so great and unselfish and she
kissed Meta so tenderly, calling her
my baby brothers mother" that her
heart was touched and she determined
to love Blanche.
A few days later she heard the little
girl whispering: Little brother. you
have really, truly mother and father,
and have only a really, truly father;
but would love your mother. Oh! so
dearly but she does not love me. L
cannot tell why. We must never tell
papa that 1 knew it, for he would
grieve, as he wishes me to be very
happy!"
Several years passed and Blanche
had grown to be large girl Ia years
old, and now she must go to board
ing school; her grandfather had in
sisted upon 1t. Little Donald, who was
now 6, was weeping bitterly because
his sister Blanche was going away
from hime.
Meta had learned to love the girl by
this time quite tenderely, but she still
felt that she wished to be AUNT Meta"
which grieved Blanche very much. but
she remembered her grandfather's ad-
vice.
Blanche was thinking sadly of life in
a strange boarding school, her time to
be constantly employed with study and
practicing of music, gone would be her
glorious rides on her pony'S back; she
went to the barn, and, as she combed
Pinto's rough name and looked in his
loving eyes, tears ran down her cheeks.
Suddenly the small hand of little Dom
aid was thrust in her own, and she
heard his childish question: why does
sister cry? Is sister sorry she is going
to the pretty school where mamma
says she will learn to be such a fine
lady that she will never love her home
again?"
Blanche clasped Donald in her arms,
crying: 'I will never forget you;
will always love you all and long to be
with YOU"
The following afternoon Blanche's
trunk was well packed for an early
start the next morning. She ran out
to the barn to bid Pinto last good by,
but no Pinto was to be seen. Had he
broken his strap and run off like the
little Indian that he was?
Just then she heard Meta calling~fn
anxious tones: Donald! Donald!
Where are you?" Going out of the
barn Blanche quickly Joined her step
mother. Was Donald also gone? Could
he and Pinto have run away so near
sunset? I'm September" cried Meta,
'the days are so short!'
An alarm was sounded from house
to house, and from farm to farm

that she fell asleep, and when she
awoke she rose hurriedly, not know
ing where she was. Then she stumbled
and looking closely she found Donald!
How she kissed him, and held him.
oh so tight!
"I was so tired" murmured Donald.
After she became calm she asked her
self should she wait until morning or
go home now? She decided on the
latter and put Donald in front of her,
leaving the pony to follow.
The horse knew the road well, and so
Blanche reached home at about 2
o'clock.
Mrs. Gaynor was so happy that she
forget to thank Blanche.
The next morning the story was
about the whole town and Blanche was
the heroine.
As Blanche was standing on the plat
form waiting for the train, Mrs. Gay
nor thanked her and very softly asked
to be her really truly mother.

This created stir in the quiet little
place and soon searching party was
sent out to scour the hills and valleys
near, while hiS family and few wom-
en- neighbors searched at home in every
place a boy and pony would be con-
cealed. But neither Donald nor Pinto
could be found.
Night came on. a long, September
night A light was set in each window
of the Gaynors' house, in hope that. If
Donald came. he would not miss his
way. At midnight the searchers came
to the Gaynor home to tell them
that Donald had not been found. AS
they were leaving, Blanche came down
stairs in her kimono and bedroom slip
pers to ask them If they had looked
in all the caves in their search. The
men said that they had looked in a
few, but that the caves were so dark
and so overgrown with weeds that
they had hard work getting in and out
and so had not troubled themselves.
''You know" explained one, Donald
surely wouldn't go into one of them.
But Blanche was not satisfied. so

sure was she that Donald might be in
a cave, that her father asked the men
to go out again. This time he went
with them. Soon lights were again
bobbing about on the hillside as the
posse hurried here and there.
In the course of an hour Blanche and
Meta heard a shout nearby and, run
ming to the door they saw the men
coming into the yard. leading a pony
while in Mr.. Gaynor's arms was the
little boy, fast asleep
In the morning Donald had a cold
from having been in the cave. After
breakfast he told how he was lost.
'T wanted to have a ride, so 1 got
on Pinto and rode a while, and pretty
soon it got dark and I didn't know
where I was" said he. "Pinto walked
into the cave and I got sleepy. Guess
I went to Sleep"
Meta had a headache from her fright,
and as 1t was too late to start to the
station that morning, as they all had
oversight, Blanche waited till after
noon.
She got on well at school, but did not
forget her folks, as Meta said she
might, but loved them so heartily and
so good that Meta learned to love her
as dearly as though she was her own
daughter. S. PEARL CHURCHILL.

Sure Donald was lost. Blanche ran
around the yard in haste looking in
every corner and nook. At last she
ran into a field and spied figure in
the darkness.
She ran and found Donald in a
faint. Near by was large snake.
She picked up large, sharp, rock and
threw it at the snake, killing it. She
picked Donald up and ran to the house
as fast as she could.
When she told Meta about it she
took Blanche in her arms and said;
"Oh Blanche, how can I ever repay
you for this?"
Ever since that day Blanche and
Meta have loved each other and have
been the closest of friends.
