Kate Markham. who was sitting by
the window. now looked up from her
sewing.
II don't think we need bother about
our next work. she said quietly. III
I'm not mistaken it's coming down
the street now"
Several of the girls left their sew
ing and hurried to the window.
Coming down the opposite side of
the street was small boy of ten or
twelve, his hands deep in his pockets
and his feet keeping time to some
merry tune which he was energetically
whistling.
"He doesn't act as though he was
overburdcned with care" one of them
remarked But. see; do believe he is
coming here..'
The boy had stopped and gazcd
across the street inquiringly. Then
with another handspring he came rae
ing toward them.
who is he anyhow" asked May
Whitley rs she resumed her seat.
"One of Ben Carters children" Kate
answered. ben is the lame man who
used to pcddle CLANS around the viii
lage. He lives somewhere near the
salt pond. Our hired man was down
that way yesterday after load Of
seaweed. and he stopped at Ben's 10
ask about the tides. He says they
need help. Ben was in bed with rheu-
matism and hadn't done days work
this winter, and there were two small
boys and a siclily woman. heard our
man tell papa they had absolutely
nothing to eat except few small 20
tatoes. He told them about our circle

upon the door,

The door opened. and a bright faced
merry eyed boy stood before them
His clothes We're patched. and slimpses

"the children shall have shoes. Haven't
we some on hand:" turning To one of
the girls.
There's that lot Mrs. Briggs sent in.
They are almost as good as new.
And there are some jackets and some
undertaking"
VERY well. And if any of you have
shoes or things al home which you
think will be useful and which you do
not need suppose you send them in to-
morrow morning The committee will
make Il selection. We will have to buy
some provisions and perhaps few
other things Now" turning to the
boy, suppose you tell us how old the
children are. so we can have some idea
about providing for them"
you don't mean all of 'em?" won
deringly.
"Yes. ALL"
His face grew radiant.
"Won't they he jest tickled!" he
cried enthusiastically. "Shoes to go all

Half an hour later the girls laid
aside their sewing and began to make
preparations to leave. The boy gazcd
from one to another with the glowing
consciousness of good fellowship.
"How will we send the things
DOWN." asked Miss Lesson.

The next day was pleasant. and
when the girls arrived they found the
new member sitting contentedly on
the steps. lie insisted on CARRYING ali
the bundles and slowing them away in
the wagon. and then he climbed up on
the front seat beside Kate and took
the reins, which she smlingly offered
him.
After leaving the village the road

along the sandy shore of the mill pond
and finally dwindled into little more

asked May
"Ycs'm. There's some of the children

Springing from the wagon. he turned
to assist the girls: then he took an
armful Of bundles and started toward
the cabin.
Don't take the large package" said
Kate. THAT is going somewhere else.
You may bring in all the rest"
1t required but little investigation TO
prove that the family WAS in dire
need. Kate took out her notebook and
made copious entries. When they re-
turned to the wagon she saw Nav look
very grave.

said to the boy as she took the whip

The boy did not answer. She no.

But when they reached his home he
