CHAPTER vll.-continued.

In the meantime old Mrs. Jefferson
had been looking on with absorbed
attention, desperately seeking to tri-
umph over her enemy, a deaf demon
that for years had taken possession of
her. Now, with an impatient hand,
she bent her wheel-chair to her daugh-
ter's side and proffered her ear trum-
pet
Mother" Mrs. Gregory called
through this ebony connector of souls,
This is Fran Derry, the daughter of
Mr.. Gregorys dear friend, one he used
to know in New York, many years be-
fore he came to Littleburg. Fran is
an orphan, and needs home. We
have asked her to live with u.s."
Mrs. Jefferson did not always hear
Alright, but she always responded with
never in doubt. "And what I'd like
to know" she cried, lis what you are
asking her to give u.s.
Grace Noir came forward with quiet
resolution. Let me speak to your
mother" she said to Mrs. Gregory
Mrs. Gregory handed her the tube,
somewhat surprised, since Grace made
it a point of conscience seldom to talk
to the old lady. When Grace Noir
disapproved of any one, she did not
think it right to conceal that fact
Since Mrs. Jefferson absolutely re-
fused to attend religious services, al
leging as excuse that she could not
hear the sermon, refusing to offer UP
the sacrifice of her fleshly presence
as an example to others-Grace disap-
proved most heartily.
Mrs Jefferson held her head to the
trumpet shrinkingly, as if afraid of
getting her ear tickled.
Grace spoke quietly, but distinctly
as she indicated Fran-"You know
how hard it is to get good servant in
Littleburg" Then she returned the
ear trumpet That was all she had to
say.
Fran looked at Mr.. Gregory.
He bit his lip, hoping it might GO
at that.

in mild reproof

he turned toward the woman and in
quired, in a tone audible to those
near him:

Lace Designs From Spider Webs.

Missionaries in Paraguay more than
200 years ago taught the native In
dams to make lace by hand. Since
that day the art has greatly develop
ed, and in certain of the towns lace
making is the chief occupation. AL
most all the women, many children.
and not few men are engaged in this
industry.
A curious fact with reference to
the Paraguayan laces is that the de-
signs were borrowed from the strange
webs woven by the semi-tropical spi-
ders that abound in that country. Ac
cordingly this lace is by the natives
called nanduti, which means spider
web. "-Hayper's Weekly.
