served Priscilla Pipp. solemnly, lay?
ing aside her bonnet and sinking com
fortably into a rocker. "Cod rest her
soul," she said, devoutly.
"And her tongue," added Sarah
Potts, tartly. %
"Well?I supose lt will re9t, now
she's rone," admitted Priscilla. Then
she added: "I 'low lt's earned a rest,
anyway."
"It wa'n't exactly In need of si r
else," observed Sarah dryly.
"It seems strange to think of Het?
ty gone?that we won't se her cumin'
out of the back way any more with a
plate to borrow butter on." Priscilla
continued. "I remember her comm'
over one afternoon when she h*ad com?
pany to tea, unexpected like, with that
old blue plate?you remember that old
blue chiny one her great-grandmother
handed down?no, you don't either,
because you ain't* ever been inside of |
their house as I know of but snjrs
I let her have a piece off my last
of butter an' me not gettin' any more
till Saturday, which was Dave .feliks's
nrg'lar time to bring lt in, an' ll-t

slippin' where some one throned out
dishwater, and losin' the butter an'
breakln' th' chiny plate al] to pieces
an' her lookln' all around to see if
pr.y one was lookin' en* then pickin'
op the butter and wipin' it off on
her apron. Hut the plate was too fur
gone for savin' although I b.
she did afterward gather op the p
and glue 'em together. Poor ll
lt seems strang* to think of ibtty
gone?in Paradise."
"It does seem strange," Sarah ad?
mitted.
"What?" said Priscilla, absently.
"To think of her in Paradise."
Sarah said. "I don't s-pose she'll
make any gn at stir in Paradise'.'
continued, in a half Inquiry.
"Well, mebbe not as much as she

"We don't want to be too hard on i

.- lid, with mild rebuke.
?Truth don't hurt nobody, livia' or
dead," Sarah declared, spigrsmmstl
cally.
"Well, it ain't so apt lo hurt th'
dead as it is th' liva'," Prin :11a j
agreed.

mouth.
"I wouldn't feel hard toward her,

"Mebbe she did," she admitted; "she

brushed the tear away Impatiently
and left a shiny streak on her f I
"Th: t ain't neither here nor there,"
i declared.
"Well, there was a good doal of It
re when she was." observed Sarah,
'an' there's apt to be a good deal of
it there?if sperrits talk, an' I fancy
they do?when they get rested up,
anyway," she finished sharply.
Priscilla rocked again.
"You've got nice things. Sarah," she
said, looking about her through the
big room. "I remember when you an'
me waa girls together how we used
to build dollhouses an' wonder about
all the nice things we'd have when
we growed up an' got?married"?the
last word came with an effort.
"An' then when we got along about
the marryin' age, who should come
along but Peter Pipp, with nothin' but
poverty an' prospects, an' before I
knew it we were married, an' while
we ain't had no money to brag of,
we've always been comfortable, an'
Pipp's made a good husband, aside
fro u his mother's interferin' soine
tiEiC8. An' afterwards 1 remember
BOW you an1?well, you fell in love
an' someway it got broke off an' he
married Hetty, an' you lived with your
r on th' old place fo: so many
years, an' Uren he died an' left you
comfortable for the rest of youl days."
I never knew what broke it off,
Priscilla said, t-aggestl-fety.
'I'm goln' ls give 'em lo th' guild

Sarah volunteered this muan In ths

Priscilla went bark to rocking.
"Hetty's left a girl, too," Bhe went
on, as though the destiny of the nap?

"I should think you'd get lonesome

"It ain't always them that's around
you that keeps you from bein* ?lone?

at something out of the window that
seemed to have a mist about it.
"No, I s'pose not," Priscilla said
softly.
There were a few minutes of rock*

'Only fourteen years old," Sarah
, mused, half to herself..
"What did yoi say Sarah?" Priscilla
asked.
i "Xothin?I was just thinking." re*

"You know." prise Illa said, after a

she added somewhat bitterly.
"You mustn't, Sarah, you mustn't," j
\ Crt* d Priscilla, "it's a blasphemy."
"What prayer?" Sarah inquired.

"Well, ain't I goln' t' give th' nap

"What is it. thea?* 'inquired Sarah.
"It's hearts- good, luvin', tender hu?

'Well, mine was good an' lovln' an'

"I'll rattle my parasol stick against

Hetty probably lilied her up with stuff

she said.

her mother did nefore she was born,"

Pole Shifts Its Position.
Later information on the results of
Lieut Shackleton's expedition to the

thc north magnetic pole, shifts its
