Her long trailing skirts were iildue ~
green leaves too, and the sash and the
9etticoats that covered the place
where her feet ought to have been
were of corn-silk. The arms, that
lifted themselves appeallngly, were
made of the two ends of blade OF
grass tied around her body Her
head was the bud of yellow evening
primrose.
She was a sweet tempered little
preen-clad lady. Polly had made her;
and Polly was so happy herself that
svervthing her fingers touched
,eemed to take on happy look. She
was always making dolls. Clothes
gns, cobs, flowers, everything that
raDpened to be near Polly was apt to
Be turned into a doll Just as Miss
Prim was finished Polly's mamma
.lled her.
Come, Polly, we are going to drive
ID the city, she said.
So Polly ran to the buggy with
Miss Prim in her hand. There was a
cunning little bit of folding camp
stool that was called the Polly
seat" Polly sat on this. She leaned
Miss Prim up against the dashboard
OF tire buggy and played with her as
they rode along.
Miss Prim made a charming play
mate. She never quarreled or insisted
on her own way. But when they got
into The city Polly forgot all about
her. Miss Prim must have wanted to
see The city life and contrast it with
country life, for she rolled out OF the
buggy into the street, Polly and the
rest went on, but Miss Prim was left
behind.
A young man came along and
picked her up. He was young STU
dentyolunteer going to teach class
in a mission school. He had prepared
an elaborate lesson on manners and
morals and felt very we'll satisfied
with his preparation as he walked
along He felt perfectly free to con-
,ider anything he chose Why should
he think more of the lesson?
He laughed as he looked at Miss
Prm. Isabelle will like to see this"
he said, and he put it into his pocket
Isabelle was his little sister.
Now, before he got through teach.
ing that class, he knew great deal
more about mission school children
than he had before. He had had no
idea how thirty small rag g-a-muffins"
from the streets could act. Certainly
they needed a lesson on morals and
manners, but they would not listen to
it They pulled hair and stuck pins
into each other While he was set
ting one end of the class in order, the
other end plunged into deeper mis-
chief. They would not listen to a
word he said.
1t was hard work. Drops of sweat
began to gather on the young teach
er's forehead. He pulled out his
handkerchief to wipe them off. Out
fell Miss Prim.
There was shout of laughter. But

There is a little east end girl, still

matter of sensitiveness. Likewise she
has her points in respect to dead game
ness. She was taken about week ago
to spend a few days with her aunt.
The little miss played around in front
of her aunt's place for awhile. Then
her aunt let playful young terrier
into the yard. saying to the child: .

Five minutes later the aunt returned
TO the front yard to call the kid into
the house, but she wasn't anywhere to
be seen. The fox terrier was playing
alone. There was serambling hunt
for the child and all kinds Of alarm,
but the little girf didn't turn up. The
aunt hustled into town. The little girl
