quietly. '''
But Sadie affected not to hear and, sitting
down at her fathers desk, began to write
with some ostentation, and Aunt Alice wise
ly said no more.
That night at supper Mrs. More!and came
in late.

as Mary the eldest daughter, poured out the
tea. Il have visited twelve families this after

that no person who has any regard for his
good name will associate with them. How
then would it be with us, should we notice
this challenge from one Of them? Where
would be our hard-earned honors, should we
stoop to a race with them? A victory would
be a disgrace to us. Why, to act in such n
tarce-of course, the maker of that challenge
had no idea of winning-I repeat, to act in
such farce would be such a blow to our
hopes and prospects as to blight our fair
club. We are now honored and respected
and looked upon as model club, but to
lower ourselves enough to race with these
hoodlums of the Pinery as to bring upon our
lustrous name wel-deserved reproach; to
sever the bonds that unite us, and to trail in
the dust of ignominy the proud pennant of
the Bonnie Blues. Burn that miserable chal-
lenge, from him whose ignorance is equaled
only by his audacity, and let our, dignity re-
main in its present spotless purity
Lon Marks rather bombastic speech was
greeted with loud cheers. Every one ac-
knowledged he had spoken well; and Lon
was one of the abest members of the club.
Every one now was looking toward Jay,
who, they could not help thinking, had es-
poused very doubtful cause, and wondered
how he would reply to Lon
Captain Thorn looked decidedly pleased.
With provoking slowness, Jay arose to his
feet and addressed the chair.
"Mr. Chairman: | am sorry to hear such
expressions, as it has been your misfortune
and mine to listen to, and | can account for
them only upon the ground that the speaker
is laboring under mistaken impulses. i am

"If every one would do their share OBJ
served gentle Aunt Alice. 1T would not be
SO hard for the few
ut would not be hard for anyone to give
assistance" assured Mrs. Moreland, earnest
y, "if we could force ourselves to do without
Injuries while our neighbors are starving.
Sadie thought her mother looked at her
particularly, and it made her uneasy This
feeling was increased when her father con-
tinued, with emphasis
II can't see how anyone can be so heart
less as to squander money when it might be
put to use in actually saving lives
As the conversation ran on in this strain,
Sadie spent very unhappy half-hour.
But it rather aroused her resentment than
otherwise
II just believe Aunt Alice told," she said,
angrily; "but l don't care! It's my money,
and | can do what l please with it! Nobody
thinks ought to have anything nice!"
So, when Uncle Henry's present of a ten
dollar note came the next day, she put it In
her purse and went down town to shop.
"I'll not take all my money" she decided
Ten dollars will be enough for one day."
But somehow Sadie did not see anything
that exactly suited her. Everything seemed
outrageously high-priced, and Sadie came home
with nothing but twenty-cent hair-ribbon.
The next day Sadie asked Aunt Alice to
accompany her. -
Tomorrow is my birthday" she explained,
"and ! haven't got my presents yet"
Aunt Alice willingly consented, and the
two set forth after school hours. The first
thing they looked at was an umbrella, price
four dollars
This is just what you want said Aunt
Alice
Sadie was looking at glass globe in the
aisle, that bore sign
Remember the Poor"
81 don't believe l really want an umbrella %
she replied, in low tone, and Aunt Alice
followed her out of the store.
This experience was duplicated in several
other stores. Sadie either bought nothing or
contented herself with some economical trim
ket, so that, when they returned home, the
total purchases amounted to only two dol
lars.
After supper that night Sadie drew her
mother aside and put something in her hand.
'For the poor" she said "It is my birth
day present"
Mrs Moreand took five dollars from the
little roll.
Give according to your means, daughter -
she said, kissing her fondly. IL have watched
your struggle against SELF and never was a
present more worthily bestowed"
