One cloudy winter morning, not less than twenty years ago, there was an un usual commotion about a certain little old house standing far up on the St. John River. Within, Mrs. Grace sat before the great fireplace in the fore-room,so bun dled up in shawls and blankets and hoods that she could scarcely stir. Li a warm corner of the hearth lay three or four hot bricks well wrapped in newspapers, and two home-made robes were hanging across a chair to warm -everything indicating prepara tions for a long journey. With out., Mr. Grace was hitching the old red mare into the thills of the still olderredptmg, that looked as if it might have come over in the Mayflower. His round, good-natured face wore a troubled expression, and he jerked at old Dolly's bit once or twice in an un gentle way which wasn't like himself. The small part of Mrs. Grace's face that was visible among the folds of her home-knit hood showed the same look cf anxiety, and her voice trem bled a good deal when she spoke to the children, and gave Charly her last directions. There were four of the childrenDean and Em my, and Joe and Charlythough Char ly was not one of the Grace children. Mrs. Grace had taken her, lame mite, when there else to take her, and she often de clared she couldn't and didn't love one of her own little ones better than she could and did love Charly. Emma and Dean and Joe were round, rosy little ladies, of 3 and 5 and 7 years, blue-eyed and yellow-hairt'd. Charly was 11, and she was neither round nor rosy. Her face was thin, and her eyes were big and shadowy. And Charly was lame there was a pair of tiny crutches always by her chair. "I couldn't think of going," said Mrs. Grace, "if Charly wasn't the wise, patient little mother I know she is. I never was so worried in myraved life. But what am I to do?" It was a hard question to answer, in deed, for the night before had come a letter to Mrs. Grace from her sister in a distant town saying that her mother the children's dear old grandmamma was very, very ill. "Come at once," the letter read and it was a week old when Mr. Ringgold, who lived too miles above thera, but was yet their nearest neighbor in the sparsely settled region, brought it from the postoffice five miles below. It was little to be wondered at that the tears filled poor Mrs. Grace's eyes, that her lips quiver ed, and her voice shook. "I couldn't do it if it was not for trusting in Charly so," she repeated time and again, in tones that brought a glow to Charly's thin little face. "I know you'll take good care of them, dear. There's bread enough baked, and I've left the jar of doughnuts in the closet." 'Oh, good again!" cried Joe. 'Can't we have all we want? "Won't it be fun, Charly?" "You must have what Charly gives you, "said Mrs. Grace, "and attend to what Charly says. I've locked the pantry door so you can't bother her by running in and out. Now" She looked at Charly as the outer door opened. "I'll do just the best I can," said Charly, bravely. "I know you will dear. Be good children, all of you." "There's wood enough piled up in the entry to last you," said Mr. Grace, a little huskily. "We shall be back day after to-morrow night, sure. All ready, wife." And a few moments later old Dolly was jogging at her best pace down the snowy level of the river. It was thirty long miles to Dunbar Corner. "I wish they were home again," said Joe. "They will be before you know it," laughed Charly. "Now I'll tell you a story." So the three little ones cuddled around Charly's chair before the open fire while she told them the wonderful tale of the "Three Tiny Pigs," and from first to last they listened breathlessly, though they had heard the same story many times before, 'no doubt. Charly had a wonderful gift for telling stories, Mrs. Grace often declared. And Charly had a gift for something besides story tilling. When her stories came to an end she smiled. "Bring me my box, will you, Joey, please?" Charly asked. Her poor little limbs were so weak and misshapen that it was with difficulty she could move about, even with the aid of herlooked crotches. Joe obeyed, elnnbing up on the wide four-posted bed in the corner, and tak ing from a shelf above it a square wood en box with a sliding cover.' Dean and Emmy knew what was coming then. "Dive me the kitty," pleaded Emmy. "And me, the mouses," said Dean. "They're deers, goosey, said Joe, with little scornful sniff. "Let me see all of'em, won't you, Charly?w Charly smiled in the brighest' way, and pulled off the cover. Shall I tell yon what were there? The daintiest wee was no one little images under the son, carved all in wood, and the largest one scarcely four inches high. It is true they were the work of a single awkward tool in untaugh but if you had seen Selpedlatmfingers,g iem sure you could not have exclaimin with Joe and Dean and Emmy, "Oh, Charly, how pretty they are!" They were exceedingly true to life, too. There was the old house cat,whioh Emmy instantly appropriatedwhy, you could almost hear her drowsy purr and there were Dean's "mooses," with their delicate branching horns, and a pair of rabbits eating clover, and cunning, creeping baby, andthere was old Dolly herself, standing with droop ing head and lopped earslazy Dolly. "I'd know her anywhere," laughed Joe. Charly laughed too, and fingered her treasures lovingly. Her cheeks glowed and her eyes were starry. "Do you think they're nice?" she ask ed"as nice as some they have at the stores at Christmas time, Joey?" "Nicer," returned Joe, in atone ex pressive of great wisdom and experi encea whole heap nicer." "Well," pursued Charly, "I'm going to make all I can, and when I get enough I'll send them to sell. Mrs. Ring gold said they ought to be half a dollar apiece." "O-oh!" cried Joe, quite taken aback by this prospect of unbounded wealth. "Whatll you do with so much?" "I know," put in Dean. "You'll get cured, won't you, Charly The quick tears sprang to Charly's dark eyes. "I will, if I can," said she, and she pulled Emmy to her, and hid her facein the baby's yellow curls. "Mavbe I can't." "Mr. Perks said you could if you could go to seeDr. Lester. He can cure every thing." "But it'll cost a great lot of money maybe $100," said Charly. "I'd have to to make 200 of these, Joey." "Well, you ain't going to wait that long," declared Joe stoutly. "Father says just as soon's this old farm pays anything, he's going to take you to Fredericton to see Dr. Lester. Maybe 'twill pay next summer we're going to have a cow then. And we haven't been here long enough yet, you know." "That'll be real nice," said she. "Now, after dinner I'll cut out some thing more." 'I think it's real fun." said Joe. But Charly only shook her head and smiled again. Well that day passed, and the next, and all the time the sun didnot show his face. The clouds hung heavy and black and dark came early, and weatherwise Joe, with his nose against the window pane, prophesied a storm. "I hope 'twon't come, though till fa ther and mother are home," said he. It did, however. When the children awoke next mornitig the snow was fal ling fast and steadily in large flakes. It had grown very much colder, tco, in the night. Poor little Joe's teeth* chat teredspitefully even after he had raked open the bed of coals in the fireplace and built a roaring fire. The wind came up with the sun it whistled and along the bleak river shore in a way that set the timbers of the old house to creaking dolefully. "I don't believe they'll come to night," said Joe, when dark began to fall. "Won'tthey. Charly?" "Oh, Charly, won't 'em?" "Do you s'pose a wolf chased father an'mother ?"asked Joe, with a dismal quaver, breaking in upon the narrative of the "Tiny Pig." "A wolf couldn't catch our Dolly," said Dean, quickly. "She's too smart and big." Charly laughted. For the world she would not have acknowledged that such a possibility had occurred to her own mind. "It's the storm that keeps them," she said, cheerily. "It's a dreadful storm, you know. They'll be here to-morrow I know they will." But to-morrow came and wenta long, dreary, freezing day, and the fifth morning dawned. How bitter ly cold it was, and how the wind whistled through and through the house! The storm had ceased, but of this the children could not be sure, since the windows were banked with snow, and when Joe tried to open the outer door a white wall repelled him. Their store of provisions, too, wa3 nearly exhausted, and that seemed worse than all the rest, until Joe came in from the entry with his arms full of wood and his eyes full of tears. "That's every bit there is," he qua vered. "Oh, Charly, why don't father come?" "He will," said Charly, with a brave, bright smile, though her heart was like lead. "Now, we'll be real saving of this wood and only put on one stick at a time." Oh, how cold the room grewcolder and colder, while time dragged on, and those last sticks were burning slowly away. They ate their last bits of bread then, and because Charlv said she could not eat, there was a very little more for Emmy and Dean and Joe. But Joe, though he looked wistfully at the frozen morsels, was struck with a sudden recollection. "You didn' eat any breakfast, Charly, nor any last night, because your head ached. Ain't you hungry?" "Nevermind," said Charly, cheerily. '111 eat enough when they come home." The bread disappeared then to'f/ theFrom last crumb. *Tm awful hungry yet," said Jde. A*' "So am I," echoed Dean with a piti ful pucker, "and I'm awful cold." Charly hugged Emmy tighter and areund. There were the chairsstout oaken ones. ^k "Cant you break up a chair, Joey she asked. But he couldn't though he tried man fullypoor little Joewith tears stand ing on his cheeks. "J^r "Never mind," said Charly* again. And then the forlorn little group hud dled together over the dying fire. How cold it was! and how the wind rocked tne old house and blew its freezing breathin through every chink! "I'm s'eepy," murmured Emmy, drowsily. Charly looked at her in sud den terror. She had been sobbing with cold and hunger, and now her baby face looked pinched and her hands blue with cold. But the golden head drooped heavy against Charly's arm and Emmy never went to sleep at this time in the day. A dull red eoal wink ed among the ashes. Charly sawit and straightened Emmy up with a little shake. "We will have a funny fire," said she, with acatchin her voice. "Bring thehoi^oey."* "Oh, Charly, no!" "Yes," said Charly. "I can make plenty more. Wake up, Emmy." And in a minute Emmy was wide awake enoughto see a tiny bright blaze upon the hearth. They burned the box first and then the pretty carvings one by one. All too soon they were gone, and there only remained only a few ashes. "I'm just as cold," whimpered Dean. "I'm sleepy, too, Charly." "Well, you shall go to sleep," said Charly "and when youwake up I know they'll be here. But well have some nice fun first. Who wants a doughnut?" "Oh, Charly Grace, you haven't got one!" "Yes I have," returned Charly witn a triumphant little laugh. "Isaved these out of mine." She stood Emmy on the hearth and hobbled as briskly as could be across the floor, placing two chairs, one at each end of the room. "Now you run a race around those two chairs till I say it's enough, and 111 give you one apiece. Run just as fast as you can." At first the children demurred, they were so cramped and tired and drowsy but the sight of three brown, delicious looking cakes which Charly produced from her pockets nerved them to action. Around and around the chairs they ran, Joe ahead Emmy in the rear, breathing out little clouds of steam. And Charlv laughed and clapped her hands and cheered them on, until at last they stopped from sheer fatigue, puffing like three small locomotives, and with tbeii pulses beating in a lively way. Charly hobbled over to the bed. "Get in, all of you," she said "then 111 give you your cakes. I know theyll be here when you wake up." She tucked them in warmly, and then she went back to her chair. She put the end of hei crutches upon two or three live coals and blew them into a tiny blaze. Pretty soon, when she had warmed herself a little, she would creep in beside Emmy. She listened to the deep regular breath ing from the bed. "They are going to sleep," she nmr mured. "I've done the best I could the best I could." The words ^echoed from the walls of the cold little room, and rang them selves over and over in her brain. How warm the place was growing and how dark. She thought she would crawl over to the bed and get in with Emmy and Dean and Joe. But she did not stir. She sat there a still, a white little fig ure, with a pair of half-burned crutches at her feet, when less than an hour lat er a man with frosty beard and bail forced himself through the snowbank at the door. It was Mr. Grace, alone, for the storm, had rendered the roads im passable, and he had tramped the whole distance from Dunbar Corner upon snowshoes. It was a long, wearying walk, no doubt, and he had been about it two days. But when he opened the door of his home he forgot it all. In less than a minute he had made kind' ling wood of one of the chairs, and in another one or two a brisk fire was roaring on thehearth, and Mr. Grace, in terrible fear, was rubbing Charly's hands and forcing some brandy from the little flask he carried down her throat. She opened her eyes presently, and looked up into the kind face above her in a bewildered way. "EmmyDean Joeare" "All rightall right!" yelled Mr Grace, nearly beside himself with de light and then he went down upon hif knees before Charly and cried, "We're all right, my dear." And so, indeed they were. I haven't space to tell you all that happened what Mrs. Grace said and did when she came, a few days later, with the wei come news that grandmamma was bet ter. and heard what Mr. Grace had al ready heard from Joe and Emmy and Dean: how the story was told through out the settlement over and over, and how Charly was praised on all sides nor how the people of Grand Fork, the little village five miles below, got up a fair for Charly's benefit, which gave her enough to take her to Dr. Les ter that very next spring. And though Dr. Lester could not entirely cure her, the weak little limbs grew so much stronger and better that she waDEYGOODS, able to walk without crutches, by limping a very little. When Dr. Lester, too, came to hear whe Charly was, for the story of the win ter's day had already reached his ears, he refused to take his fee, but, instead, added to the little roll of bills and put it in the bankfor Charly. "She will want to go to school in a little while," said he. "I think she must study art." "Why, what makes every one so good to me?" asked Charly with happy tears "I didn't do anything." "Didn't you?" asked Mrs. Grace, in return, kissing the glad litttle face "didn't you?" V, AHwbaad'.Quandtoy. the Rockland Courier-Gazette. "A scientific Frenchman says he has discovered a process for making artifi cial brains," said Mrs. Wigglesworth, looking up from the paper she was reading. "Artificial brains!" sniffed Mr. Wigglesworth, scornfully that's just liko those nonsensical Frenchmen, always fooling away their time making something artificial. What I want is real brainsnone of your make-believe nonsense." Mrs. Wigglesworth, as she resumed her paper, demurely murmur ed that she had noticed it, too, but she never should have dared to speak of it herself. And Mr. Wigglesworth rub bed his head in a dazed sort of fashion, and wondered if lie really Had express ed himself just as he meant to. 3 8 3 CO 0 0 S 3 GRAY HAIR or WHISKERS changed to a GLOSSY BLACK by a single application at this DTK.
