Grandfather Is very dignitied, re-

should have this religious training
while she is yet young.
The other Sunday it was Mary FL

custom of the school carried with her
four pennies to splace in the bigtfiday
basket. Everything went nicely and
the tot went to the front, her little
face happy above her Sunday flnery.
Still smiling she stood in row with
the other birthday children and wait
ed while the basket was passed. ;
When it was taken to the others and
she saw them put their pennies into
the basket Mary Ellen became dis
tinctly uneasy. She seemed about to
flee; then to reconsider and stayed.
But when 1t reached her, instead of
dropping her pennies into it as the
others had done she held to them
very tightly indeed and said: "No,
