fancy, surely? She sat quite stiil
—her face still covered hr hci
hands—and listened; a sigh had
sounded close beside her, breathed
like llie very echo of her dream;
ami now a voice—oh, heaven,
what voice!—whispered her name:
‘Avis! Look at me, Avis!’
She turned, she rose, gazed for
one moment in Ins face as if be
wildered; then, wi.li a cry of love
and joy unutterable: ‘Koy! my
beloved! ’ sprang to the arms and
sank uu the breast of her true
lover.
‘You have found me!' she cried.
‘You have found me!'
‘Never to lose you again, Avis
never again!’
'And your mother?’
Her great eyes searched Iiis
face timidly, anxiously.
A bright little giil gave away
what was regarded at a very
pleasing sec: e . It kappintd this
way: The Telegraph man slum
filed into a millinery store yester
day and while waiting to get the
attention of tlie lady who makes
the female population pretty, idly
listened io a conversation between
a customer, evidently the wife ol
a mechaire, and the milliner. The
lady was looking at a very pretty
hat for her little girl who stood ai
her side with hungry eyes. The
hat was purchased, and the Tele
graph man menially thought it
looked like extravagance tor a
mechanic's family to throw awa\
four dollars and a half on a little
girl’s hat.
As this was the only purchase in
which the child seemed interested,
she idled to v. lu, c :!ie Telegraph
man was standing and artlessly
said: ‘We dot lots er money now.’
The reporter here mentally curs
ed himself for forgetting to buy a
ticket for the last lottery drawing.
‘Where did you get it, sis?’
•Papa broke the bottle.’
‘IJi okc the bottler
‘"Kssur; the bottle was jus’ as
fuller money as it tood be, an’ we’s

No true reporter can be idle
when such an item as this is in
speaking distance, and it was not
more than a few minutes before
; lie child's mother was persuaded
into telling the following story,
and yet she never dreamed that
every word of it was being jotted
down by the shorthand finger of
memory upon the thumb worn
pages of a mental note book:
"I have passed through the or
deal of a drunkard's wife, and i

worst kind of a humor. Our old

with a fever, and the e was not a

him even the cheapest toy. My
husband li.-.d been aw.iv from
home all day and being drunk
had forgotten all about his Christ
mas. I put m\- husband to bed
and returned to the bedside of my
dying liny to watch and weep. It

this was not all. Vfc saved
enough in that time outside of the
bottle to buy a little home.’
‘But are you not afraid that in
breaking the bottle your husband
will break his resolution?’
‘No: because we have started
another bottle bank,’ said the la
dy with a happy smile.
