"Oh, thank you'll" gasped Amy as she
took one.
"Wait a moment and Annie will
wrap 1t in a paper napkin so you can
carry it home," said Miss Beth as she
pressed a button for the maid. But
when Annie came with the paper nap
kin, which was all gay with holly and
Christmas bells, Miss Ruth put all the
mlnce tarts in 1t and gave it to Amy.
"Oh, thank you so much" repeated
Amy, thinking how her mother would
enjoy the tarts. Mother sent the
dress"

Beth. wait q moment, Amy, and /

She had just disappeared when Miss

"You have? How very fortunatew
Amy told her about the seals and
how she had been unable to sell even
one of them. To her great joy Miss
Lucy bought the whole twenty-five and
put the money in Amy's pocketbook,
together with a bright silver quarter
for herself. 81 hope you will have a

Lucy said.
The next day Amy took the Red
Cross money to her teacher, and Miss
Smith told her she had done very we'll.
Early Chrlstmas morning the Gran

door, and the chauffeur brought in a
great basket for Mrs. Wells. There

offered to buy all the stamps herself the
little girl shook her head.

"That would be real work."
Mira. Wells sighed and smiled. She
couldn't very well afford to buy even
the twenty-five stamps that Amy want
ed to sell, for every penny was needed
in that little household. Mr.. Wells had
died year or two before, and Amy's
mother had to sew for a living. She
was very busy, for she was trying to
finish some work so as to receive the
money In time to buy something for
Christmas.

PARIS GIRL MAKES HIGH
BASKET BALL SCORE.

In the Saturday issue of the Mays
vile Daily Bulletin appears the follow
ing "write-up" of the remarkable in
dividual score made by Miss Lena
Rose, center for the girls basket ball
team of the Paris High School, in
the game at Maysville, Friday:
When a single, solitary individual
possesses sufficient proves to score
torty-six points for her team in a
basketball game it is reasonable to
presume that the opposing team 5
chances for victory would be slight:
ard as the Maysville High School
girls five had to face just such prop
osition as this in the local auditorium
last evening, there is little reason to
wonder at the 50-to-9 victory which
the Paris lassies scored over the local
girls.
"The individual alluded to in the
previous paragraph was Miss LeEa
Rose, center for the girls quintet
from the Bourbon capital who scored
all but four OF her teams fifty points.
Miss Roses performance was nothing
short of spectacular and she was
warmly applauded for her excellent
work Being of much larger build
than any of her opponents, Miss Rose
would often hold off her opponents
with one hand and with the other
gracefully toss the ball into the bas-
ket. Her work was by far the most
phenomenal ever witnessed in NJ. II.
S. auditorium and established an in
dividual record for High School bas-
ket ball in this city. Miss Rose is
cot 70 hnx fA,-
scored fifty-six points in one game.
Despite their overwhelming defeat
the Maysville girls played a strong
game and deserve due credit for their
performance. The work of the Paris
star, however, offered too great
handicap for them to overcome and
with the backing she received made
Maysville's efforts futile"
