It made Mrs. Morton sad to hear
the child talk thus, for she realized
how impossible it was for a poor
woman like herself to leave the town
in which she had her humble work.
Suddenly, Minnie gave a cry OF sur
prise, but the mother was SO busy over
the stove that she did not hear her.
There among the paper the girl saw a
ron of money-bright, new, crisp bills.
She took it up In her quivering hands
and jerked off the rubber band which

long, gusty May rain had set in.
Minnie sat by the window of the
tiny tenement room with her white
face pressed against the glass
Through the wash down the pane she
could see the people hurrying by with
their umbrellas bent, but her eyes
were fastened on the corner waiting
for her mother to come home. For
Minnie's mother cleaned the trash
every afternoon from the great mar

of the town.
The girl was cripple and spent all
day in the chair. But she tried to be

came familiar figure and Minnie
smiled with delight. A few minutes

mother. Il found a lot of different
colored bits in the waste-paper basket
and brought them home to you TO
make mats"
Minnie took the bright pieces of col
ored paper eagerly and began to clip
them into strips, while Mrs. Morton
lighted the fire and began to prepare
a simple supper. The blinds were
closed, the gas lighted and the ROOM
though very bare, looked clean and
comfortable. Mrs. Morton, who was a
widow, was poor, but loved Minnie
dearly, and did all in her power to
make the little cripple's life happy.

The girl folded and stroked the

than she had ever seen in her life. She
saw her mothers tired face bending

long days of labor and the humble

rich-they could live in a pretty place
in the country. Then she remem
