thine Betty had to say was that the
neighbors on both sides were going to
take one or two children for n month
from the relief committee, and Betty
thought It was so nice to have the dar
lln'n running around to keep a body
from getting lonesome
Then, worst of nil, In the afternoon
Betty rr-fi.il - 1 a crrtaln muslin bagfor

ical household. Miss Ruth hnd to go up
to the fiarrot or a Pleee out ' which
to mnke another bap. And so she
chanced to open a certain trunk in the
garret, by the side of which she sat
down and sighed.
For there, preserved in camphor nnd
lavender, through so many yenrs, were
the garments belonging to the being
MIfs Ruth had most loved on earth, the
little sister who died when she was only
ten years old, and was buried down
there In the old graveyard, tinder the
willow trees.
It seemed as if, while she saton the
floor in the garret, she. could see Tilly's
blue eyes looking up into her. face, and
hear Tilly's tender voice saying: "Sis
ter, remember the timo when we played
together, nnd do it for my sake." Miss
Ruthic got her rnuslln, shut the trunk
nnd marched downstairs to the kitchen.
"Betty," said she, "do you think
we ought to take one of those chil
dren?" "Law, yes, Miss Ruth! Why don't
ye?" said Betty, her plain face light
ing. "But children arc hulsnnccs, Betty."
"Yes, Miss Ruth, but they're kind o?
comfbrtln' after all."
"Well, make your jelly, Betty. Mind
nnd don't let-it burn."
Xext morninff,Ml8H Ruth walked dc
HberaieiyTnfo the office, of tho ladles'
relief committee. Jj?
"I'll take one!" shosald, sternly.
f'AH right. Miss Jiasklns, put down
one for Mlsa PnuJ,'' said the lady in
charge-'-rt!"''
"Ask her if she wishes a'boy or girl,"
said Miss llaskins, as she wrote the
name,
!'A girl," replied Misq Ruth, promptly.
f'lVord knows wha 'JJ do with her,
(hough; I don't!"
The ladies exchanged glances, which
were not lost on Miss Ruth.
'Be at the depot Tuesday morning,
next week, to receive your charge,"
said Miss Hnsklne.
y-j inn iuina jtuui tuiiicu luutui
and walked out, "They think I'll eat
the child!" she muttered to herself.
"But I won't!"
On Tuesdny morning tho people who
had promised to take children were at
thedepot. So were a great many others,-
prompted by curiosity, nnd, when the
trnln came, .in, Wcllsville had never seen

Nam were called 'and places as
signed as fast ns the efficient committee
of ladies could do it.
"Miss Ruth Paul one. girl here!"
came nt last. And Miss Ruth marched

"Good Lord!' Is there no 'crass

"Yes'm. Lota of It In the parks. Bjit
the police don't 'low you to step on It.!'
"Well, you can step on Ithcrc. Ooout
now, nnd do do just whatever you're
n mind tot"
Miss Ruth gave Tilly a little bedroom
next to her own- and undressed her with
her own hands.
"Where's your gowii, child?" she
said-.
"I hain't got no gown," replied Tilly.
"What do you sleep In?"
"This."
"This" was a thin undcrwaist, which,
with a small petticoat, completed the
child's underwear. 1 .
"Well!" Miss Ruthdldn'tknowwhat
to do. "i'll get you some to-raorrbw,"
she said.'
The next duy MIs Ruth said:
"Betty, that child' has absolutely nq
clothes. I'll get her' some, and you
must help me make 'cm."
"-'Toln't much use, for such a little
While, is it?" asked Betty.
"She's got to be decent while she
(stays," said Miss Ruth, resolutely.
fio they bent to work. And the next
Sunday, when Miss Ruth led her little
charge to Sunday school In a blue
"Mother Hubbard" and- big white hat
nnd new shoes, people said:
"Miss Paul must have visitors, else
who is the pretty child In her pew?"
And they never knew it-for the little
wnlf who came out on the relief train
last Tuesday.
Tilly had, been there two weeks,
when, one night there was, a thunder
storm, and .Miss RutTT Van awakened by
a call at her bedside.
'lAunt Ruthle! Aunt Ruthfe!" She;,
had'-tniight TJlly tocnll her that,' and
the ohlld's, voice roused her..
"Well, what is It?'' she asked.
"I'm trfraid of the thunder, Aun$
Ruthle. May I come In your bed?"
"Yes."
The little figure crept in and cuddled;
up close to. Miss Ruth, the small nrm.j
wound round her, and' she felt the warm
breath on her .cheek. And somehow
Miss Ruth remembered Betty's words:
"Children 'Is kind, o' comfortln' after
foil," and felt a strange sensation of
nullum nyiiKt luucjy iicut v.
