long, busy day was over at last.
The toys were not sorry, for they
were quite tired out with the hustle
and noise, though they had enjoyed the
company of the crowds of children,
who had been about all day. But you
see even engines and trains, ener-
getic though they are, like to stop a
minute after they run down; jumping
Jacks want to catch their breath be-
tween jumps and dogs that bark and
sheep that beat and lions that roar
enjoy little spaces OF silence just like
other folks.
But every one OF them had done his
best stunt over and over all day and

Mamma, mamma, mamma" The
sound was familiar, when the toys
walked up enough to use their minds.
They had heard that squeaking call
all day.
"Dear me, child" exclaimed the big
doll from Paris-the doll with the
beautiful face and delicate nerves, who
stands right behind the mamma doll"

back to his particular charge. You

Meanwhile Emil and Katrina Kru-

people thought, the prettiest dolls in

seems to me since he held my manu-

given it desk room for another day,
thus permitting me to live up to my
name today Of all days.
After this outburst, Mae Hope,
would-be song writer, sank into a
| chair, thrust bulky envelope from the
Frank Charity Music Publishers into
her desk, and sat hopelessly gazing at
the small epistle from the same Office
and with a slight touch of humor and
a faint suggestion Of smile, recited
the contents of that letter-not
through the envelope, which she had
not opened, but from memory:
"Sorry, Miss Hope, that this is not
yet quite up to the standard, but sim
cerely trust you will not be discour-
aged, etc., etc."
For three years Miss Hope had been
receiving these distressing notes from
the genial young publisher, who could
not summon the courage to advise her
to give up. Perhaps he realized it was
merely case Of humoring an mag
mary talent rather than attempting to
earn a living as the young ladys in
come was sufficient to keep her alive
without setting fire to the universe by
flashing on the public her picture serv-
ing as cover over some sentimental
verses accompanied by music.
1t was the morning of the last day
OF the third unsuccessful year. Mae
Hope was interrupted at breakfast by
the sound of the door bell.
"A lady to see you, Miss Hope"
spoke the maid.
The name on the card seemed to add
insult to injury.
"'Mrs. Frank Charity never knew
he was married. Maybe it is someone
else. Probably somebody knows need
charity. Tell her l will be down i'm
mediately."
One glance at her visitor assured
Miss Hope it was no stranger, but an
old school friend.
"Violet Faith! You? The card reads
Mrs. Charity"
"Why, Mae, you seem surprised"
How should know you were mar
ried?"
"Violet, stealing glance at the dis
orderly desk, remarked tartly:
perhaps it would be good idea
to read your letters if you want to
keep up with the parade"
you don't mean," picking up the
bulky envelope from the Frank Char
ity Music Publishing company, ''that
this is letter from you. 1t looks for
