THE LOST ADDRESS.


One night We were seated around
the fire and mother was telling us
o story when all at saee she was
interrupted by q gentle knock at
the door. Il sounded a. II il might
be some smaf child who was lest
or vas il need Of something. We
all gave eur idea OF who we thought
1t was while mother went to the
door. All We could hear Of the
conversation at the door was abo3t
someone's being lost. We were all
on the verge Of running to the
door VIXEN mother appeared. fol-
lowed by small child Of about
eight or nine years of age.
The child was crying and her
dress was torn and dirty. Her
shoes and stockings were SO worn
they looked as il she could hardly
keep them On.
Mother gave her a chair and dis
appeared into the kitchen. When
she came back she was carrying
a tray filled with food. At the
sight of this the child stopped cry
ing and began to eat as if she had
had nothing all day. We sat
around and watched her with inter
est. After she had finished eating
mother took the tray and We be-
gan questioning her, asking her
name and where she lived.
She said: my name is Jane and
I don't have any home at present;
but am trying to find this" and
she put her hand into her pocket
only to bring 1t out empty. II have
lost it" she exclaimed, and began
to cry again. Now I will have to
go all the way back and find it,
but l can't remember which way l
came"
Mother told her to stop crying
and she would see what she could
do toward finding it. She went
into the next room and we could
hear her talking ever the phone.
When she came back she said
We would have to wait until morn
I ing TO find out whether anyone had
found II. The child began to cry
Mt these words and sobbed. II can't
wait until morning, l must get
there tonight for they will be wait
ing for me-"
Mother Quoted her and at last
coaxed her to stay over night. We
went to bed and as mother was
undressing Jane she saw some
thing drop upon the floor and as
she picked it up she saw that It
had an address written upon it.
From the other rooms We could
hear the child, jumping up and
down for joy and saying that she
wanted to go right away, but
mother told her to wait until morn
ing and she would send some one
with her.
The next morning mother gave
her some other clothing and sent
brother with her to search for the
house.
Upon returning, brother said the
people were her aunt and uncle,
and that the child's parents had
both died and they were taking
her to rear. They thanked my
brother, and Jane told him she
would never forget him

chuld not heap her mother much.
Oae evening when Mary returned
from schosl. sAe 6eHna her mother
sitttng BY the window sewing. This
surprised he very much for she
knew there was - money WIN
which to buy anything. Mrs. Wing
noticed the surprised look On her
face, but said nothing. Presently
Mary said:
"Why mother. what are you do
ing? Where did you get this beau
tiful material?"
THE other day I received a let
ter from my sister asking II ! could
do some sewing for her. l an
swered her letter and told her 1
could. and this il what she has
sent me-" replied Mrs. Wing, as
she showed Mary q pile Of mate
rails, Then she pulled a five dol
lar bill out of her pocketbook and
said: 'This, she sent me in ad-
vance payment and says she viii
give me the remainder when l I'm
ism the sewing"
Mother, this Is quite a surprise
to me, but have something to tell
you also. You know there have
been several contests this winter.
Well, there is going to be another.
Mr. Singleton, who owns the dry
goods store at Twelfth and Main
streets is going to give a position
as assistant bookkeeper to the one
who get the highest grade In an
arithmetic contest. I won the
prize at Christmas and that was
harder than this. SO ! am going to
try this one. Beside the position,
the winner Of the hrst prize will
get blue ribbon to show that he
has won it. The winner OF the
second prize will be given gold
medal" said Mary very excitedly.
But hadn't you better do some
thing that viii bring rs money
right away? Besides, yen may lose
the prize and then you will be out
Of time, money and ALL" was the
reply.
Just then the door bell rang and
Mary went to answer It. It was
Mrs. Jones. She had come to see
il Mary could come and help her
on Saturday. Mary said she would
and Mrs. Jones left.
Nothing more Was said about the
prize for three days. When Mary
returned from school that day she
carried a slip of paper with the
rules Of the contest printed on it
After she had shown the paper to
her mother, Mrs Wing said:
"Weli, l see you are going to try

room and received their prizes.
was then dismissed for the year. /,
The next Monday Agnes went to
work and Mary did the h0usewOrk
so her mother could get the sew
ing finished.
One evening about week later,
knock was again heard at the
door. Mary went to answer it, and
was surprised to see MIR. Singleton.
He entered and said:
Il haven't long to stay, but l
have come on very important bust
ness. Miss Hunt, winner of the
first prize did not prove satisfac-
tory, and l have dismissed her.
Now, according to the rules Of the
contest. YOU have the right to take
her place"
Mary was surprised. She did
not know what to say, but present
ly she said:
II am sorry that she did not
prove satisfactory, but if you
think l viii be all right will be
glad to accept the position"
Il think you can do it all right,
l want you to begin in the morning.
The salary is eight dollars per
week." replied Mr.. Singleton.
Just then Mrs. Wing entered the
room.
Good evening, Mr.. Singleton,

Where is Miss Hunt?" said Mrs.
Wing, surprised at Mr.. Singleton's
statements.
"She did not prove trustworthy,
and l dismissed her today"
when do you want Mary to be

"Iwant her to begin in the morn

he arose and went toward the door

After Mr.. Singleton had left,
Mary said:

while ne mother looked over them
to see that they we're correct.
At last the day for the contest
came.
Mary went to the school house
on Saturday morning. Here she
saw six girls and five boys waiting
for the contest to begin.
At nine o'clock, Mr.. Singleton
entered the room. He stepped be-
fore the p1pils and said:

In . amaM city In France. very
near the City Of Rheims. lived a
family consisting Of the mother.
father and four children, three sons
and daughter. The oldest son,
John, ard the next son, Robert,
were drafted shortly after the war
broke out. From that time on the
mother began to fail from worrying
about them.
One day, about nine months later,
werd was received that John had
been killed in one of the great bat
tles. The shock was so great to
their mother that she could not
stand it. Two weeks later she
died.
The longer the war lasted the
closer the bombardment came to
thei little home. One afternoon
the daughter, Ruth, was working in
the house and the father and young
est brother, William, were In the
yard when q bomb was dropped
near that section. The people all
began to run IN different directions.
When they arrived outside the
reach of the shells, Ruth began to
look for her father and brother,
but they were nowhere to be found.
She finally decided that they had
either been killed by the shells or
by the falling buildings.
Now that Ruth was left without
| a home and as she had not heard
from her brother Robert for a long
while, she felt very lonely. Each
day there were more and more
wounded men being brought in
from the field who needed care, SO
Ruth became Red Cross nurse.
After she joined she spent a
short while in school and then was
sent to a field hospital. She kept
hoping all the time that If Robert
was alive she would get to see him
again. But many months passed
since she had heard anything from
him and she gave up hopes of ever
hearing from him again.
One day when she was waiting
on one of her patients she heard a
soldier who was deleri0us say
Ruth over and over again. She
went over to his bed, but he kept
calling. While she was still there,
the doctor came to him and took
the bandase of his head. lmme-
diately she recognized her brother
Robert. She then asked permis-
sion of the doctor to be his nurse
and she was with him from that
time until he was entirely well.
She saw him start of again. to
fght while she still stayed with
her Red Cross work.
