Elizabeth’s
Peril
A whoop ot mingled rage, terror
and pain penetrated to the upper re
gions and heralded the coming of
Elisabeth
Elisabeth’a mother, for whom the
Bound, familiar though It was. has
never been robbed of Ita terrors, ran
out of her bedroom And half way
down the stairs to meet her wuiting
offspring She sank down upon one
of the steps and Instantly a pair of
frantic arms were locked about her
knees and a Dutch cropped head and
a huge pink hair ribbon were burled
in her lap.
Elizabeth's mother gathered into
her protecting arms the head, the
pink bows and as much as possible
of the plump, pathetically heaving
body
"What’s the matter with mothers
baby?" she asked tenderly
“Wow, wow. wow!’* answered
Elizabeth
Elizabeth’s mother clasped her lit
tle daughter closer to her "Are you
hurt, darling?” she queried, anxious
ly
"Wow, wow, wow!” The pink bows
vibrated violently, but Indefinitely
"Elizabeth, dear.” said her mother,
trying to uncover the hidden face,
"you must stop crying and tell me
what's the matter. Are you hurt?”
The head merely burrowed deeper
into the friendly lap. "It’s —it’s my
tooth.” gasped Elizabeth, finally.
"Your tooth, sweetheart?' ex
claimed her mother. "Does it ache?'
"No, 1 don't guess so." The answer
came In a tone that was something
between a bellow and a sniffle
"Then what's the matter?" Eliza
beth's mother was growing slightly
peevish under the strain. "Elisabeth,
you've got to stop howling and tell
me.” She raised the tear-stained face
and held it firmly between her two
bands.
“Now, tell me/’ she said, authorl
tatively. "If your tooth doesn’t ache,
what are you shrieking about?"
There was a Crash outburst of tears,
but with the Asad came the words
"It’s—oh. It’s earning out!"
Elisabeth's msthsr gave a little sigh
of relief. She Maned the top of the
anguished heed. “That's nothing to
cry about, preelees/* she said, com
fortlngly. “YotfU soon have a nice
new one la Its place.”
"Oh. 1 don’t mind the tooth." wall
ed Elisabeth, *%ut Tom said—oh.
dear! Oh. deer awl We was all out
playin’ “
"We were end playing.” corrected
Elisabeth's mother, gently
“Yesaum. Wo was all out playin'
and Tom be oome along—”
"Tom came along, baby.” Elisabeth's
mother said, patiently.
”Yessum. And Tom be come along
and he said—■“ The remainder of the
story was lost M another whoop of
woe.
Elisabeth’s mother rose and led her
email daughter to tho bathroom and
bathed her feee thoroughly
After that oho took the very woe
begone Infant Mto the mother's own
room and sat doom In the big rocking
choir with Elisabeth In her lap and
rocked her until the sobs had ceased
When the moMKo-be-dealred result
had been gained she went to her
dresser and toofc out a paper bag of
soft molasses sandy. Elizabeth s eyes
glistened.
"Now,” said BMeabeth's mother, ”wc
are going to here a perfectly beautiful
treat. Just us tom"
Fairly radiating joy. Elisabeth bur
ied her more er leas uncertain little
tooth In the fftoee of candy Then
she removed thn candy hastily, gnve
It one look and Immediately set up a
shriek that made the plaster nearl)
start from the walls,
"Wow, wow, wow!” She took up
tho cry whore oho had dropped It a
short time before- "Wow. wow. wow;
My tooth's gone, end Tom said—"
The shriek oeeeed as suddenly as It
had begun. Two largo tear drops were
arrested midway down her fat cheeks
and a smile, beginning In a very small
way. grew and grew until It threat
ened to bisect her face. She ran to
the mirror end regarded Intently the
gap left by the departed tooth
"Why, mother—Tom thald. he tbaid
that when my tooth came out—he
thald that ho know n girl who looked
just like mo, with little poppy eyes
and pink hair ribbonth. and when her
tooth cams flint when my tooth
came out —that when her tooth wath
gone—that I wouldn’t know how to do
anything bet joot whlthle! He thald
that when that Hrl-a tooth that look j
ed like me wntti gone ahe couldn’t
ever talk again And. mother. It
wathn't tho! It kind o' hltheth when
I do It. but I ana talk! 1 can talk
jutht ath much nth ever!"
Elisabeth's mother fled hastily into
the nest room end burled her bead
In e thick bath robe which was bang
Ing in the corner oi me closet.
"The eternal feminine!” she chok
ed "How her father would enjoy It
If 1 should tell him! But I don't he
lleve i'll tell him I think this Is a
case in which only a mother can thor
! oughly sympathize.”
The Cause.
"How do you account for those ne« f
dozen houses of your** in the block
suing off so soon?”
"Because In them 1 nad the six !•**►•
cellars ”
JUST A
LITTLE
SMILE
Evidence of Insanity.
"Doctor. I want you to come and ex
amine my husband.'
"What seems to be the matter with
him?”
"I am afraid he Is losing tils mind.
Last night we were talking about the
necessity ol reducing our living ex
penses and he said I would have to
spend lees money than I've been
spending for clothes and help m the
bouse.”
"There's nothing strange about such
a declaration."
"I know; but after he had made It
he said. ‘Get that Imebedded In your
bean.' ”
No Words Wanted.
