was in a rare futter when she went
over to the house one morning and.
FOR some u~naccountable reason, re-
NAMED there chatting. an unusual oe-
currence. for Nellie was an energetic
worker.
Then, at the sound Of carriage
wheels, she ran out to the front door.
"Oh, folksl hurry hurry" her voice
rang out. Some n has arrived"
The someone" was Madge. and with
her Mr.. Waldron and the children. 1t
seemed to the worn, weary father and
mother as though paradise had been
restored to them. OF course 1t was "a
visit" oh, yes, Madge needed a
change. and Mr.. Waldron's business
had allowed of his leaving it, and the
children were so happy, and joy
reigned supreme.
"One-two-three-for Nellie must
stay to dinner, sure!" piped Mr.. Wells,
hopping about like a patriarch rejuve-
mated. Five, and the two little ones.
That means seven. Three leaves will
give us plenty of room, eh, wife?"
Hold on, I'll help you" suggested
his son-inlaw, as Mr.. Wells started
for the attic.
The old man chartered like a mag
pie; he ambled up the stairs, down the
stairs, chuckling, laughing, infused
with new life.
There, that1l do" he cried, cheer
lily, as he carried the third of the table
leaves into the dining room.

There's a fellow came up to Cana

cried and l felt homesick. We sold out
home and business. We're here to
stay"
"Glory!" shouted Mr.. Wells. and
who was the fellow?"
Joel, your son."
"Joel!"
Exactly. He'd made a strike with
a mining partner. He's got enough to
pay a certain eight hundred dollars
he was worrying about. He's got
enough left after that to go into bust
ness with me, right here in town, and
marry Nellie, and settle down, right
here at home"
The old man was astare, trembling
all over.

'In fact, Joel sent me ahead from

delirious joy. Tell her, son!"

No matter how rich the costume
may be this season, its correctness
will be questioned If the shoes are not
up to the high mark of d~aintiness and
elegance set by the fashions OF to-
day. Footwear is quiet as to color
and exquisite as to workmanship and
it is light and finished to the last de.
gree of excellence. Women have never
been more beautifully shod.
The very short skirt has many faith
full adherents and the high boot to
wear with it is imperative. 1t comes
high in more senses than one, for shoes
have advanced greatly in price, with
the prospect pointing to a further ad-
vance. But there is no denying the

Eaway-suddenly, capriciously, his ia
ther thought. Joel had simply stated
that there had been a fuss" that "he
could not at all get along with a ros
grained ~tyrant," his employer, and
that he was going to seek his fortune
in a new field.
In truth Joel had made a bad mis-
take In purchasing some stock for
the business at a %ruinously high figure
without obtaining the sanction of his
employer, whom he should have wired.
The next day the stock went down to
a low point. The house lost eight
hundred dollars on the deal. Mr.. War
1ner found fault with Joel. The lat
ter had a high spirit and could not
brook complaint.
Il discharge myself" he announced
angrily. I'll never enter your doors
again until l am able to repay the
measly sum you mourn about and
which, under the circumstances,
should be at the risk of the business"

was on nettles until he saw how his
wife would take the abstraction of the

he cherished a patient regard for her
feelings. To his surprise, when Mrs.
Wells came into the house she simply
looked grave and said, evenly enough:

Nellie arrived with her pleasant
smile and gentle ways. She was the

the present occasion and Mr.. Wells
noticed it. He attributed it, however,
TO her helpful spirit in constantly
striving to direct their attention away
from their sense of loneliness. Nell
lies sweet face did not even shadow
when she noted the further curtail-
ment as to table space.

The old man breathed hard amid
his mournful soliloquy. He was car
rying a leaf of the dining room table
up the attic stairs. They were crooked
and he vas not supple or nimble. He
groaned a trifle as a narrow turn near
ly upset him. Finally, however, he
reached the top of the stairs, dragging
the heavy black walnut board after
aim.

and set it up against the slanting raf-
ter. Then he rubbed his eyes and

vironment solemnly.
"All gone now" he murmured. "It

making her home with us. And now
