"Then I will take care of him. Now
don't fret I'm off to do hi* blddlna.
But let me whisper to you, never, nevrr
Never with a big big N, will I marry
until men learn how to treat their wives
with as much consideration a* they do
thetr horses."
"Father.'' said Letty after the letter
was written, "will you sit with mother
and let me go with John to the vil
lager’
"No: I've got other things to do.
"But, father, we must have some
help In the house Mother need* more
care and better care than I can give her
row, with so much to do and four hun
gry men to feed.”
“Now, don't go to pretending that
you have a hard time Don’t I send the
heft of the washing away?"
"Patty merely washes the heavy
clothing, father. I have to Iron them
all. And when I bake seven loaves of
bread on Saturday, and Monday finds
not even a crust In my pantry, you
must know" —
"I know nothing, nothing, only that
going to college has made you too fine
for a farmer’s daughter.”
"No, father, never that, but too fine
I hope, to see my mother suffer And
while we have her I want to do all in
my power fpr her."
"While have her! Why, your
mother lsrft very sick It's only the
newfangled complaint, and folks never
die of it.”
Letty choked hack the tears.
"Father, please let me go yith John.
I should not ask for help if I did not
need it, for her sake."
‘‘Shan't hear to It, shan't hear to It!
Moth 'rill come out all right,” said Mr.
Moore as he strode away.
It wanted but two days of the tima
when the turkeys were due in Boston,
and Letty was seated in tbe kitchen
with a large turkey in her lap, from
which She was carefully picking the
pinfeathers.

It wa* a bright, sparkling winter

Her mother had always been a crea

an old Massachusetts family, and no
hardship could ever make m r coarae nr
unrefined. It was a comfort to think
that she had been bleased with such a
mother.* and the gfrl’a heart ached
when she thought of her passing sway
so young.
Her father did not notice her tearful
eyes. He was too much Interested In
the new* he brought.
"Lett,” he said hurriedly, "there's a
handsome turnout cotnfns over Long
hill, and It's a city one. too, some one

Hhe had not time to moralise much
before the door opened and a tall, hand
some man entered with her father.
"My daughter, Mr. Langdon, Mies
Moore,” her father had said, and Letty
raised her eyes to greet those of a man
whose every look bespoke refinement.

The modern Cinderella’s glass (dip

resembles a slipper, open behind, with
a split "lace-up” heel-cap. The Age
of Steel describes this new skate as a
skate of glass, hardened by a recent
process to the consistency of steel.
Bycry part of the skate is of glass,
from the slipper-like upper to the glit

glass blades are much more slippery
than steel ones,.and that they will run
