The same week they were sending | a box of dolls dressed in the same | rainbow colors to. an Indian girls school on the frontier. How pretty | dian girls will be happy over them. Their teacher has a brother in Toms | class at college and the men are great friends Tom has often sent me | or her brother. She must be very good to give up her life to such work, and I am so glad that her girls are to have this box" So chattered Miiiie as added another of the seven, Toms box is equally delightful in it's way, but presume many people would say 1t was a foolish waste of money, and might have done more good else please those to whom they were sent" , "So say we all of us", chfnned in the seven. Let's have one more look at each of the boxes." cried one of the girls The covers are already marked, so they are all fixed for the mail Good luck go with them," and they rushed off leaving Millie to de- spatch the boxes to their destinations. How it came about, Milie never knew. or if she did she kept the | knowledge to herself, taking refuge in their watchword, We are Seven." but | in a few days she had a note from | Tom to this effect.
  think I need to be reminded of pretty girls in waiting, or is it g. prac- | tical joke which I do not understand? had planned a smoker to celebrate
 my birthday, and all the fellows were | there to see me open my box. and they ! jollied me unmercifully. Worst of all. ! Sherman is sure to tell his sister or i the joke. What will she think of you ] and me? I call it the worst trick you
 ever played on me. What do you call | it?"
 Evidently Tom was very nearly out i of temper with Millie. Did she weep l over it? Not she. The Mystic Seven were summoned for conference over they it is mistake sure to right l itself Miss Sherman will soon ! straighten the matter, see if she does mt"
 I'd like to see her face though:
 when she opens that box of Tom S
 laughed another.
 'But she does not know where they
 are from, does she?" faltered one of
 the timed ones.
 "of course she does.'' was the reply
 "the parcel post attends to all that
 It will come out right you may be
 sure. and we shall find it one of our
 funny blunders to be laughed over" And the matter was righted after 6
 time.
 Miss sherman wrote a letter to hel brother returning the box to its ! rightful owner at the same time Tom immediately felt it to be the l, proper thing to see that the doll! were sent where they belonged, and {
 note of thanks was certainly due tt Miss Serman for her kindness Milh' received a thankful acknowledgment O r the box of dolls, which the Mysti' Seven shared with her.
 5 Between Miss Sherman and Tom l correspondence ensued, which waxe' 3 warmer and more frequent, until afte s l the college life was ended, he wa l able to induce Miss Sherman to ac I cept Millie's invitation to spend tn . summer with her, and before long al . the Eldreds were delighted to kno' s that in spite of her -fondness for his = l sion work, and her dislike of tobacco Edna Sherman had promised to becom d the bride of their dear Tom. }, Tt all came from that miXup ( = addresses in the two boxes," the girl
 | all agreed.
 ''whose fault was it? Who knows
 We are Seven" declared Millie. a AN IDLER.
