\ UCY had no brothers or sisters.
She had to depend on the neigh
Dor children for playmates. And

when the weather was too bad
for Lucy to go to the neighbors or for
the neighbor children to come to her
home she found time very heavy on
her hands.
Lucy had no mother, and lived with
her aged grandmother. AS dear old
Grandmother Perry had lived so
many, many years since her own
childhood she had quite forgotten just
how little folks feel when shut up in
a big country house with nothing to
do but to wait for the sun to shine.
she would set Lucy to sewing plain
things, hemming towels and bed lin
ems. And although Lucy was an en-
ergetic little maid, and enjoyed a
certain amount Of work. she got very
tired Of the uninteresting sort Of sew
ing that her Granny" always set her
to do.
One day Lucy awoke to look out
upon a grey day, mist already in the
air and clouds SO heavy that a down.
pour was inevita BILE before the morn
ing had passed. Lucy had become &C
quainted with the different kinds Of
rainy days. There were the sudden

Then Lucy saw that the woman was
weaving rag carpet-the kind Of car
pet used in the homes of most Of the
farmers round about. Lucy also noted
the signs Of poverty in the house. The
great carpet loom occupied most of
the front room. Into q second room

At the village she turned in to make
some inquiries at the very first house

and Lucy could see that rain went
in round them upon the floor. She

And have you no husband ?"
Lucy asked.

he Is, too," informed the woman. But
he's been out Of work for over a
month. 1t seems that all our. bad
luck comes at once. But he has the
promise Of work over at the wooden
mills. He's gone there today to see
about it. Isn't it strange that you
should have dropped in out Of the

Lucy did not put in all her time
talking, however, for she knew other
things wanted doing. So she put
out question here and another there
and soon discovered that Mamie had
not had any luncheon yet that day.

person should have light nourishment

small sum of money advanced him o.
his next weeks work. But Lucy had
her little purse in her hand and she
knew just how much it contained.
There were four quarters and two
dimes and one nickel. So she declared
to Mamie that 1t would not be q bit oI
trouble for her to run out to the gro.
Gerry store a little way down the stree.
and get some tea and bread and jelly.
Mamie called to her mother and tc,t
her, with tears in her eyes. what Luc.
had offered to do. The good mother
agreed to Lucys doing it, but declared
that she must allow her husband ca
his return. to ''pay her back" Lucy uaid
with q smile: "Oh, wherever Manic
gets we'll and your husband ge,s
steady work, then you may settle tho
little account with me-
Then Lucy ran out and soon re-
turned with numerous paper bags an1
boxes. She asked the carpet weaver.
Mrs. James by name. to permit her
to 60 to the kitchen to prepare a
luncheon for Mamie.
Mrs. James made many apologies,
for the unkept appearance Of &c.
kitchen, and for the absence Of may
cooking utensils which they were TIC.
poor to buy. But Lucy declared she'd
DO able to make out nicely with just
the things Mrs. James had. And she
did. too. and pretty soon carried an
appetizing tray into the sick room.
And there's . cup Of tea for you, Mr.,
James, in the kitchen. and q bit Of
cake"
An hour later, AZ Lucy was taj.,rs
her leave, Mrs. James said to her:
you are IN angel, dear. You have
made Mamie so happy. And You cant
know how much appreciate You,
generosity and kindness.''
And as Lucy went home throuxn

EXCELLENT BILL AT THE AUDI
 FORUM.

For the first three days of this week the Auditorium offers three acts that would be hard to beat, and all of them performers from the best houses in the country.
 There are a great many people who like plays, either comedy or drama. but who do not care to sit through a whole evening of the same thing, and II is to those people that good one act playlet always appeals.
 Fred Peters X Go. offer a comedy skit entitled Mrs. Temples Telegram, that is brimful of clean, bright com edy, witty lines and funny situations and an act that will please all.
 Clever gymnasts are always appre- ciated, and the Aerial Barbours have a routine of muscular feats that are both thrilling and daring.
 The third act is the Gerady Broth CTS, team of clever performers that always win recognition.
 The best pictures are shown at the Auditorium, and when better ones are made, they will be seen there first'' That is the motto of the management and they are certainly living up to it. Another big feature is coming soon. in Romeo and Juliet. the world renowned masterpiece by the immortal Shakes peare. This is a two-reel subject and is the masterpiece of the popular Thanhouser company. Watch for the date.
 On Wednesday afternoon. this week. the Auditorium gives its first souve- min matinee, when every lady in the house will receive a beautiful silver teaspoon and coupon showing how 10 procure a set of six spoons, abso- lutely free.

BREED THEATER.

The Switchman's Tower, one of the most thrilling motion pictures ever produced, will be the great attraction at the Breed today and tomorrow. It is a powerful story of a faithess wife who forsakes her humble, honest hus- band, whose duty it is to remain in the tower from morning until night, and goes away with a flashy engineer to the railroad picnic The little child left at home goes to her fathers tower for company and while there wanders out on the tracks. The conscience stricken mother regrets her actions and leaves the picnic train at the first opportunity, walking home. From the moment she comes in sight of the tow CT. until the close of the picture there is a wild succession of exciting events The father discovers the child on the track, and switches the oncoming freight on to a siding to save the child and he discovers the picnic train re- turning, and it will crash into the freight. He reverses the switch and turns his head, thinking he will save the picnickers, but the mother dashes out from the edge of the track and grasping the child holds it a moment in her arms before the iron monster rushes on
 This is a splendidly thrilling scene and after it is all over we wonder how it is possible to produce such realistic pictures.
