for while, they changed about,
putting them in the box.
BY eleven o'clock they had filed
five boz. and were asking about
luncheon. Goodness me, how hungry
they were.
WHAT" said Mamma with n laugh.
"Aro Mothers little helpers tired and
hungry already? Goodness me. it's
afraid Wen have to eat at the kitchen
table-and there won't be much to
eat either When you're packing, you
know, you haven't time to eat"
But finally luncheon was ready
and the two children fairly devoured
the sardincs and crackers and cheese
and cold ham and cake.
Then, somehow, they began TO feel
sleepy. And, standing by the big box
drowsy.
Lets rest for a while" suggested
Jancy.
Yes indeed" Jack agreed eager
ly Wen sit right down here on
the floor"
Twenty minutes later Mamma came
into the room and found both her lit
tie helpers sound asleep, with their
backs propped up against the box.
And, of course. she hadn't the heart
to waken them, for they had really
helped II whole lot, you know. and
they deserved the rest.

and called out 10 her that it was only
Billy. SO Mary wrigsled out of bed
and came running down the hall.
Then Helen thought of Billy. YOU
bad doggie." she said. Aren't you
ashamed to scare us this way" How
did you ever get out of your closet
and out of tho room?"
Billy ran on ahead of them down
the hall. And when he came to the
door of the room he began to scratch
scratch-scratch on it with Il front paw.
Helen lighted the light and put him
back on his pillow, making sure this
time that he couldn't get out of tho
closet. Then, two much relieved lit
tie girls, they went back to bed.
The next day Papa said that Helen
and Priscilla must have thought they
had closed tho door to the room tight
ly but had not. and then the wind had
blown it open and Billy had gotten
out into the hall; and then, perhaps.
that same mischieVous wind had
blown the door fast shut again-leav-
ing Billy out in the cold hall. Nat
| urally. after Il while Billy must have
thought Of his snug warm blanket
and pillow and wanted to get back in
again.
But. no matter how It had hap
pened, Helen and Mary were very glad
that--wcll, just suppose it had been u
real, live burglar!

Her little hands trembled as she
lighted the candle on the night-tablc
beside the bed and her knees were so
wobbly that she felt they would give
way under her at any moment. But
she did rot change her mind and jump
back into bed and pull the covers up
over her head as She wanted SO much,
oh so much, TO do.
Holding the candle in front of her.
she slowly made her way across the
room, through the door and out into

she felt.

Helen stopped. She knew that

she meant to be a very firm, coura-
gcous tone. "1f you-you're a bur-

The candle wobbled in her hand and
she started back, clutching at her
throat and trying to scream.
Just as she felt herself beginning TO
fall, she recognized that SOME

And it was small and white and

peculiar smile that always meant he
was only teasing, well not move

mo, no! oh. please. Papa" cried
little Janey instantly.
Don't want to live in this old
house-want to move TO that pretty
new one!" protested Jack.

they're big enough"
Mamma looked at the two children

books tomorrow! Now I'll bring
several of the big boxes UP from the
cellar tomorrow morning and I'll
show them how to line them with
paper and put the books in. with wads
of paper here and there to keep the
books from rubbing against each
other. How about that. youngsters?
Would you like to pack books"
OF course they would, of course!
What jolly good fun it would be!
though 1t were going TO be q regular
party. And it was quito while after
each of them had been tucked into
his snug little bed that they were
able to go to sleep.
Bright and early the next morning
the household was awake, for this
was the day on which all the packing
was to be done SO that the moving
men could come the following morn
ing and find everything all ready for
them to pick up and carry away to
the new home.
After hurried breakfast Papa
took one of the smaller boxes and
showed them how to place thick news
papers around the inside of it; and
how to put the books in so that they
would fit snugy. Then. when the
box was filled to the top, he laid many
layers of newspapers over the books
and then nailed on the wooden top
boards. OF course ( Il o children
couldn't be trusted to do any mailing,
but they could fill the boxes and then
Papa would do the rest when he re-
turned from the office that evening.
Janey and Jack pitched right in.

THE NOISE IN THE FRONT FALL

way, way after midnight for every
thing was so still and dark.
Now, as Helen sat shivcring in bed,
with Mary clingng TO her, she thought
OF how she had been a very excellent
Mamma all evening; and now--even
though she was almost as frightened
as Mary-she must not fail. SO, pre-
tending to be not in the least alarmed
she laughed softly and said: IT'S

Helen! Please wake up-pul-

"Hum- m NM" Helen answered
sleepily. Instantly Mary's hand closed
over her mouth to deaden the sound.
Naturally this made it difficult for
Helen to breath and she awoke with a
start.
"Sh-sh-sh!" cautioned Mary. Don't

BY this time, you may be sure,
Helen was wide awake. She listened.

Mamma and Papa had gone to spend
the night with Aunt Rachel. who was
very, very ill., thus leaving the two
. little girls alone in the house except
for Priscilla, the cook. who slept in q
room on the same floor with them,
but way in the back Of tho house.
And so far. Helen had "playcd
Mamma" very well indeed. At dinner
she had sat in Mammals scat and
acted very digniilcd and proper as
Priscilla had served them. And, once.
she had corrected Mary about the
careless way in which She was holding
her fork
Then after dinner she had taken

walk--a thing Ptpa usually did. She
helped Mary with her arithmetic and
studied her own lessons for the next
day at school. And whom bedtime
came she stopped studying on the
minute and, with Priscilla helping. un-

IN THE MIDDLE AGES.

In the Middle Ages plague spread
over Central Europe and many, many
persons died from it. The first symp-
tom was sneezing. AS soon as one
person heard another snceze he would
quickly say to him Il phrase, which
translated meant MAY God Bless
You.' In most European countries,
in fact here in our own, today, u
snocze is usually greeted with some
such blessing, while the sneeze means
nothing more serious than slight
cold in the head.
