BELIEVED IN SAFETY FIRST
Small Ruth Wanted to Be Quite Sure About Her Proprietorship of
 That Apple Pie.

There was never any haste at Aunt Dorothea's table; consequently Ruth, the youngest of all the nieces and nephews who gathered at Hunting Hill in the summer, had learned what to expect. Everything was served by Aunt Dorothea herself, and age had strict precedence.
 There came a day, however, when Ruth, returning to the family dining room after a season spent in her room with a sore throat, found at her place a little delectable apple pie, so small that it seemed as if it must be meant for her alone. Nevertheless, she de ter1nined to be cautious.
 "Am T." she looked anxiOusly to- ward the head of the table, where sat her awe-inspiring relative to be aunty for this pie, or is it all mine, Aunt Dorothea ?"-Wayside Tales.
