Miss Wallace didn't expect her fortune.
She's a namesake of her aunt but she
hadn't visited her since she romped bare
footed on the big plantation, of which she
will now be mistress. She was shaking
the dice box with customers when an at

the news to her.
Miss Wallace received 20 offers of mar

notification of her legacy, and they're still
coming.
But she laughs at them all. Her waste

When Pa Is Late

James T. Sullivan, in the Columbian.
When pa is late there's nothing right
The house turns upside down;
Ma wonders why he's been detained:
Her smile becomes a frown;
And mirth gives way to worriment;
The youngsters cease their play;
And time then drags most heavily
When pa remains away.
The dishes have an empty look;
The dining room seems bare;
Ma thinks the food will surely spoil
That she had cooked with care.
Beside a window patiently
She watches for his smile
Until he comes her loving heart
Is aching all the while.
But when her vigil Is repaid
There comes a sudden change;
Pa waves his hand-ma disappears,
And from the kitchen range
She deftly takes things steaming hot;
The youngsters yell once more,
And care is banished by the kiss
Pa gives her at the door.
