Then the six went to work at the

Of the crisp apples and of the sticky
citron and the creamy suet. the ston-

spices and all the other ct ceteras. 1t
was a tedious work, but the boarders
had mlnce pies at dinner the next day,
while snugly packed in crooks was at
least gallon of savory mincemeat.
Before there was time for another
trait I'm the widows Affairs board
money began to come In. But never
for one waking hour did she forget the
great relief that was brought to her In
that brand new basket Deep down in
her heart was strong, glowing graft
tude toward Mr.. Farmer. And one day
when she and Cousin Hannah were on
the street she asked Hannah to go
with her into his store that she might
express her thanks to him. He was
at the counter near the door when they
entered.
II have come to thank you, Mr.
Farmer" she said directly, "for the
basket of nice groceries you sent me.
1t was very kind Of you, and / have
brought you th9 bill for the plants re-

He was aghast, and so was Mrs. WI

and he turned and hurried back toward

He's In a hdget and perturbation.
Cousin Hannah commented.
He spoke TO a dcllveryman who
stood by the stove.

Cousin Hannah said, plucking at Mrs.
Wileys sleeve. Mr. Farmer was now
coming back TO them.
Mrs. Wiley refused to run away. Il

she said.

All WaukeSha, Wis, is in
dulging in one blood-red blush.
The whole town is in bad, so
to speak, with its morals gone
wrong and no way under the sun
OF under the law to revise them.
A mineral water concern out
there, with a sinful desire to at
tract attention, posted a beauti-
FIJI billboard picture of a lady
who really, to put it plainly,
needed the earnest and instant
attention of a modiSte. The
city council at once made a de
mand that the lady either give
an order to her dreSsmaker or
else get outside the corporate
limits of Waukesha. The presi-
dent of the mineral water com
.pany was cited to appear and
show cause" He did so. He
also showed hat the lady of
%bewitching smile and no clothes
was simply a Photographic re
production borrowed from the
great seal of the city of Wakes
ha. This great seal is hung in
every saloon that has a license
and in places not so lax, but no
body thought of questioning the
lady's modesty until she began
to boost mineral water. The
"drys" profess to see in this an
attempt to discredit temperance
drinks, and the council is not say
ing what it seems. In fact,
the council has seen too much of
the lady already, and would like
to close the incident.
