Il haven't liked to study more than

Harriet. But 1 have decided to throw

But-some one in our set must carry off

Thus did the plan develop and grow.
And the class and the teachers were sur
prised at the strides made in her studies
by Harriet Gray. Never before had the
girl shown such liking for her books.
But she was making UP for lost time
now, and the race between her and Bea-
trice Finch grew closer and closer each
day, and the class watched with anxiety.
All were hoping that Harriet would
come out the victor.
And, strange to say, Beatrice Finch did
not seem to know that anything unusual
was happening. To be sure, she could
not help but notice the change I'm Har-

"But-wont you feel lonely without
your telescope?" asked Archie.
"Perhaps-for a time the old man
sighed. But we get used to parting
from old friends he went on. "Once
thought I could not live apart from my
children. but-their homes were small
and far from my abiding place: SO,
with my little telescope I made living.
and soon I became used to the separa-
ton and grew 80 fond Of my new COM

there will be a place for me in their new

friend the telescope, is for sale"
A thrill of joyous hope entered Arches
heart. For sale-the street telescope! Oh,
maybe he might possess 1t. Then he
ventured the question::
what price do you ask for your tele-
scope, sir?''
"Well, you see, it has fine glass;" ex-
planned the old gentleman. Il paid q
good price for it when it was new. And
It is as good today as it was then, for

MAYBE you would rather not part from

The old man smiled. What use would

grim smile went over the aged face.
But he fastened to say. Il much pre-

The old astronomer" named the price

promised to let him know on the follow

could and explained to his mother that

a very nice old lady, my granny is. She
was my mammals mamma. An she told
me this morning about Decoration day

Eyes, all that grow inside the hedge"
explained Dot. "But-you may have as
many as you like. Here. take this wreath:
I can make another" And she pressed
the lovely wreath into the hands Of Pink
Then all three children fell to gathering
roses for Pink to carry home with her,
and soon she had her apron full OF them.

Decoration day, when Dot and Tot, ac-

Graham promised to send her gardener
to plant some rose bushes at the grave
of the mother and child.
"Oh, thank you,'' said the old lady,
emotion in her voice.
"You and your children have made Pink
and me quite happy by giving us these
beautiful flowers. Otherwise. this last
resting place Of my dear daughter and
little grandson would have been undeco-

And as they went homeward, Dot said:

said Dot. Maybe she doesn't know they
belong to any person in particular. I'll
call to her to come in And Dot called
out to the little girl who was looking
at her and Tot most intently, Come in,

The little girl, thus invited. did not
wait for second invitation She hurried
in through the gate and advanced to the
sunny spot on the soft grass where Dot
and Tot awaited her.
'Howdy-do," said Dot won't you

place on the ground beside herself.
The little girl, half dozen roses in
her hands, sat down. WHO are your
