was finished, Mr.. Blaisdell asked Dick
what he was going to do with the
things that he made. And Dick told
him about the Boy Scouts Society, and
how they were all going to try to earn
some money during the winter by wood
carving and toymaking Are you
girls doing anything?" asked Mrs.
Blaisdell of Molly. ooh, yes! we are
sewing and knitting and embroidering
and cutting out pictures for scrap
books" Mother, couldn't we do
some of those thngs?" asked Jenny.
"I'd love to" "And so would |, said
Jamie. "But who would teach us? For
we couldn't do the things unless some
one showed us how. why, the next
time we come up said Molly, 1'll
bring some of my work and you can see
me do it, Mr.. Blaisdell said then, 81
think I've caught on to what Master
Richard is doing and | can teach
jamie how to make some carved things,
| am sure The little visitors, the
Browns, seemed immensely interested
and the boy asked Mrs. Blaisdell
whether they might come down the
next time Molly and Dick came. Ger
tainly you can, so far as we are con
cerned. You wouldn't mind having
EN-, would you, Miss Molly" Ger
tainly we wouldn't. We'd love to have
them come. But please don't ca ! me
Miss. I'm just plain Molly and nothing
e Sc. why haven't you got another
name" asked Jennie, with twinkle in
her eye. And plain is the last thing
I'd call You THANK you, Jenny, tor
the compliment, was Moly's response
as she caught no of the girls hand
and squeezed it. "And you must re-
member always to call me Dick, Mr..
Blaisdell, said our boy, and they all
parted, the best of friends.
" Father, " said Mrs. Blaisdell, after
they had gone, 81 don't know when
have had such real pleasant afternoon.
| think like it better than the singing
and the tree "Oh! but mother there
was the candy and the presents" said
one of the younger children. 81 know
they were real NICE" she answered,
land don't wonder you like the tree
a little better" "Wel! don't know as
| do, )" broke in Jenny; anyway both
were awfully nice. But look therel
What's that" pointing to little bag
that lay in the chair that Molly sat in.
"Why, said Jamie, ITS one of those
candy bags that was on the tree. 1t
was left over, suppose, and Molly
brought it up to us. For see! There s
Christmas card in it with all our
names omit" The cup of the children 5
happiness, and of their parents too, was
full and running over.
AS they were going home that after
noon, Molly said to Dick, II don't see
what need we have of two societies,
one of girls and one of boys. There
amt enough of US. Why couldn't we
make one society of us all? We girls
could come together just the same to
oCW, anu NOu DOJS COuld vi III vi Wlldl-
ever the boy scouts do by yourselves.
But we'd all come together to our bust
ness meetings." That's another OF
your good ideas, Molly; but ha dn't we
better ask teacher first what she thinks
of it.. Eyes, we will tomorrow
So the next day they laid the case
before the teacher and she heartily APP
proved of the one society. "But what
are you going to call it?" she asked, 81
don't know" said Dick. Il haven't
thought about that. But know NJ oily s
got al idea. She always has, and
don t see how she finds room in her head
for all of them" "Well I've got one
this time, teacher, though you needn't
believe all Dick says about me. | should
like to call it after what you said
when we started-'The Kindly Deeds
Society. " You're just darling,
Molly" said she, "and don't believe
you could find better name, do you
Dick?" mol" said he warmly; "It's
fine, and | only hope we will be able to
live up to it." The next day they had
a meeting of all the boys and girls and
they voted unanimously to have one
society of which Dick was made the
president and Molly the secretary.
They adopted Molly's name and so they
came into existence 1.-The Kindly Deeds
Society"
