THE THREE CRAFTSBURY; She moved the bed covers cautious ly, and the first move sent a wave of pain over her. After all, she was such a very little girl, and pain had been a stranger to her until now. A little whimper came up to her lips, but she stifled it and looked around the room curiously. It was her own room, and yet somehow it looked different. Ev erything' was so completely In order. A little table had been moved up to the bed, and on it stood a glass and a medicine bottle. A pot of mignonette sat on the window sill, and there in the low rocking chair sat mother. Just for the first moment did Kath erine say . mother, and then she re membered. It was not mother. Hadn't she vowed never to say that word? This was the strange woman Kather ine had resolved not to know. What was she doing sitting in the low rock ing chair? What was she doing in this room? She had never been here when Katherine was well. Katherine tried to move again, and this time a little moan escaped her. Instantly the figure in the window started up and came over to the bed. "What is it, dear? Are you in pain? You must try to lie still if you can." And soft, cool fingers gently stroked Katherine's forehead. Grad ually Katherine was beginning to re member. She had fallen downstairs. She had been running away from Janet, who had been chasing her along the upper hall, and she had tripped on the rug. "My back," she said pitifully "it feels so stiff." The stepmother knelt down by the side of the bed and cuddled one of Katherine's wasted little hands against her warm throat. CRAFTSBURY Marguerite Urie is clerking in Mrs. E. N. Nelson's store.

London Answers. Thorns on Plants. The thorns of roses and other plants which have thorns originally grew for the purpose of enabling the plants to fasten themselves on to other things, thus helping them to climb. Many plants with thorns are permitted to grow now In places where they can use their thorns for 'climbing, Dtit many others with thorns are cut down by the gardener to make the7 plants shapely and to make them produce more flow ers and less branches, but they keep on growing their thorns just the same. Book of .., Wonders. . . ' It will take time, that's all. Don't you think you can bear it?" "How long have I been here," Kath erine asked without replying. "Five days." "Where's father?" she queried, stif fening suddenly. She realized that she had been talking too feely with this outsirt Once more her resolu tion swept over her; she deliberately turned her face away. The slender figure beside the bed remained there for a moment, then she sighed gently but her words came soothingly as before. "I'll get father," she said softly. "You have been too ill to see any one, dear, until today. Would you like to see Janet for a few moments?" Katherine nodded eagerly, and turned her face toward the front of the room again. Mrs. Rankin left the room and there were tears in her eyes as she went. She had tried so hard to win this little daughter, and when the accident occurred, she had been so hopeful that after the child recovered, her bitterness would have left her. Once more she heard her husband's words before she had met the two chil dren of his first wife. "Janet will love you from the first, but Katherine will be hard to win." And she had tried so hard, but had never been able to reach Katherine. Janet tip-toed into the sickroom, a look of awe on her face, and behind her came Mr. Itankin. Katherine was very weak, but she held quite a little court about her bedside. It wasn't until two bright fever spots appeared on the child's white cheeks that Mrs. Rankin hurried the visitors away, and brought her little stepdaughter some thing in a glass that tasted very bitter. "Try to sleep, dear," she said soft--ly, and Katherine, in spite of herself, felt her eyelids drooping and before she knew it, she was fast asleep. When she woke again, it was late af ternoon and there was a whispering go ing on in the room. Just for a moment Katherine's mind was blank, then suddenly she remembered. As her brain became clearer, she heard her mother's voice talking to someone. "I can't make her realize how much I love her," were the words. "She still hates me. Bert, I think we ought to have a nurse, perhaps she hates to see me here." Katherine turned uneasily on the pillow, and the voices stopped instant- ( ly. Mrs. Rankin hurried over to the bed. Katherine lay there for a mo ment, studying the flushed face above her, with its girlish blue eyes, and its haunting smile. No wonder father loved her, even Katherine herself hadn't found it easy to stay unrecon ciled. She stretched out a thin little hand tentatively, and as it was suddenly seized and kissed, she said with child ish candor: "I'm twelve years old, and you're pretty young, you know, but I do love you, mother!" And then she nestled quite naturally into the tender arms that somehow did not seem at all too young, but were warm and cud dly and delightful. Jane McLean In Chicago American.
