eyes, looked in wonderment at Elsie

unless she was spoken to.
But the next day when Elsie took her
over the farm she began to talk, for
she had never been on a farm before
and 1t was like a menagerie to her.
Rose seemed to be a very sweet little

felt that Elsie had made good choice
But one day while the little girls were
making mud pies, Elsie said: They
look good enough to seat, don't they.
Rose?
YES" replied Rose. I'VE used to eat
them at the home"
why, Rose, you didn't eat mud
pies?" said Elsie.
Yes. we did," replied Rose. 'I- viii
show you," and she took up a bit of
the mud in a spoon and put 1t In her
mouth.
Elsie screamed -and her mother ran
to the door.

up another spoonful
Throw that away" said Mrs. Fisher,

Rose obeyed, followed by Elsie. who
cried that she knew Rose would die.
Mrs. Fisher washed Roses face and
made her rinse her mouth. What do
you mean by telling such a wrong
story?" she asked. You never ate mud
pies at the home. Don't you know II

and barren looking place and she won
dered where the little girl could be

lead her to think child lived in the
house.
In a few minutes a pleasant faced
lady appeared and asked them to fol-
low her. She took them down a flight
OF steps into room where there were
more girls than Elsie had ever seen to-
They were all sewing and the lady
took Elsie by the hand and led her
around the room, speaking to each lit
tie girl as they went along.
When Elsie went back to her mother
she had spoken to every little girl in
the room. Which little girl would you
like to take home with us?" asked her
mother.
The one with little black curis.'
Elsie replied. II like. her best"
The little girl was called and Elsie
took her by the hand and led her out
of the room. What is your name she
asked.

So Rose was dressed in a coat and
hat and other things that Elsie's mother
had bought and sent the day before,
and Rose said good-by to the pleasant
faced lady and went with Elsie and her
mother.
