 They slept under hedges and lived on such scraps of food as were given to them, or on such scanty food as she could buy with pennies that she begged There was much rain now and the nights fell cold. Objects seemed to become more and more dim in her sight, the paths seemed to grow more rugged for she stumbled often and often had to rouse herself to save her charge from fall. But still, dreading for him, she continued with no idea except that they must go on.
 They came at last into hard. black country, where armies of tall black chim- neys blasted the earth and sky. befouline the air with smoke, where mounds oi l ashes made the roadsides hideous and every ditch and stream was evil with dirt and grime and soot. As they blasted the earth, so they blasted the earth's human ity. In this land the beggar was no poor CT than those of whom he begged. When Little Nell, driven by her grandfather outcry that he was starving, dared to ap- proach them, some drove her away with drunken curses. and some held out theiI empty hands and pointed wordlessly at their own misery.
 Yet even here where half naked men looked up with scowlng eyes from inhu- man labors or sat with wild eyes, unable to get even that wretched chance for eX- istence, humanity was not all lost. Hun gry ones had pity on other hungry ones and once half starved, homeless man in rags ran after Little Nell and pressed into her hand two old, battered, smoke en- crusted pennies, and. ran away again. Here there was no staying even If they would. With less and less of hope ana strength, but with resolution undimin- ished the child went on, leading the ole man who complained duerulously and

CURIOUS OLD SHOPS
Quaint Advertisements of Some Early
 Boston Specimens

From the House Beautiful.
 Early American shops were often very quaint. The little general store fore runners of our present day department stores, were common, and their little six and eight line advertisements interesting
 in the light of our present day newspaper displays. {
 One of these shops makes up the follow- ing list of merchandise: Best India Ban- dannoes. broadcloths in patterns, twilled and plain corduroy, purple and white shaws, hair ribbons, colored threads, No. pins, Irish linens, yellow serge, black lasting whalebone, large and small Bibles, chip hats, watch chains, bottled mustard, playing cards, green chairs. few pounds of nutmegs and mems worsted stockings.
 In 176s at Boston there was lemon shop, Known as "The Basket of Lem- mons," kept by John Crosby, who modest- ly advertised his stock "as large in gen. eral as lemons commonly are. at a4 per 100 or 10 shilings per dozen."
 Hartbottle Dorr also notified the public of Boston, through the columns of the Gazette of fine assortment of braziery,
 ronmongery and cutlery al his shop op- poste the cornfields in Union street.
 Old files of the Gazette, Postboy and Chronicle of Boston also contain adver- tisements of an animal shop. a wigmaker and hairdresser (who, as his advertise ment read "could raise the heads of ladies to any pitch they desired'D, a mathematical instrument shop, umbrella and cane shop, waxwork shop and the shop of a surgeon dentist who gave cash for live teeth and attended the poor gratis. A stationer's shop advertised quill pens, the new steel pens and black sand for the use of writers.
 At a wheelwright's the new draisena-- forerunner of the bicycle-had been con- stiAIcted and was being shown. In Salem shoe dealer called attention to lot of shoes on whixr 20 per cent had been struck off at one clip because most of them have been worm.
 In 1908 the Salem Register called att tention to the silhouette shop as follows: Moses Chapman informs the ladies and gentlemen of Salem that he has taken a shop next to Mir. Morgan's in North street, where he will take profles in the newest and most elegant style. Two of one person for 25c or if desired he will paint and shade them for 75c.''

begged for rest. For two long days they wandered through the ugly land until at last they came out into unspoiled country once more. And here Little Nell almost too faint to speak, was trying to implore help from a. man whom they met on the road, when she fell senseless at his feet.
 The stranger cast only one look at her and picked her up and bore her as fast as he could go to an inn which was close by. He did not leave her till she was conscious again. and he delayed his jour ney to wait till food and rest should re- store her strength.
 He was a pale, simple looking man of spare and meagre form, which his plain old suit of black emphasized A thought ful and silent man, there dwelled kind- ness on his face that was so steady and so earnest that 1t could have been graver there only by the long and steady years. He asked Little Nell for no condolences, but told her his own story, which was simple enough. He was only poor school master he said, on his way to a distant village where they had offered him cot tage and salary of e35 a year.
 Before Little Nell knew it she was tell ing him her story in reply; and he pro- posed that they go with him to his desn- nation, where he was sure that he could find some occupation for her grandfather, and, at least. assure them of shelter and food
 It was an ancient village of brown thatched cottages and ancient graves, with gray and stately church, fanked by small buildings of carved stone, with arched windows and oaken doors, as ga as the carved stones of the church and spire--a very aged, ghostly place, but beautiful, with peaceful hills and peace- ful water that reflected quiet fields.
 One of the ancient houses by the church was the schoolmaster's, and. true to his promise, he obtained the other one for Nell and her grandfather. It had been

 She could not know if this were real danger or if it were only wild fancy. All the human beings that she had seen, with the exception of her grandfather, were strangers looking at her with strange eyes. She gathered such few things thev could carry and walked once around her little room which she could not leave without one kind look for every tiny trifle in it. and grateful tears for Its shelter. Then hand in hand through the city that still slumbered, they passed. two helpless creatures, knowing not whither they were bound.
 What little money they had was in her possession, She had learned, long ago, to take care of 1t. with the troubled pru- denee of the poor, and she knew how soon it would be used up. When there was none left. thought Little Nell. as she watched the faltering steps of her grand father, she must beg.

It was not till night came that she could prevail on him to stop and they found lodging in a cottage that rent ed beds to poor travellers.

Little Nell looked at many that they passed. wishing that she might dare to ask for a little nnlk and permission to rest a while; but she was timid and she went on. despite her own weariness and hunger, till she felt the old mans hand tremble in hers and saw his footsteps lag. Then she hesi- tated no longer, but went to the nearest cottage siraight-way.

 Little Nells heart was so full that sine could only say God bless you!" and her last view of the cottagers, through tears. showed them waving farewell.
 Not all the people of the England that they traversed through long days were so kind. When their money was almost gone. they came upon a race course, a place of music and flags and boisterous gayety, drunken men and vagabond groups, gypsy camps of strolling men and women, countrymen and city dan- dies, and city thieves.
