eoM Ma,®? was tired. She had been
sitting at a type-writer all day in a
dw?y office. writing letters aboa;
stocks amd bands and railroad mvwt
menu in which she had no sort cf a
terest.
In her weary state it sensed if
the click, dark of her machine had
got into her head, for it repeated itself
over and over long after her fingers
had left the kevs. Not even the
March wind could take the n»noto
noas strand oat of her brain, though
it whistled shrilly and Kew away the
citris from her ears.
“Wed, after all, ’ thought Maisie.
. “■the diet, etack means a eosy room,
a warm, open fire, a nice supper, and.
better than all these, dear Meg wait
ing for me, with her study books open
und her tongue ready to charter.’
fie Maisie cherfully climbed the
Jung Jigha of stairs and stood st her
own door. Riank disappointment «u
--fronted her, for no tidy, va-tn mom.
no tempting supper awaited her. In
the midst <rf the eiii’Jv desolation ar
her bat and coat on. and a pair
of skates slung over her arm. S>e
looked up with dan ring eyes front a
letter she was reading.

One day she fa ft the s’et-py country

She took lodging ou a qaiet street,
and placed Meg at setae!.
They cooked their simp'e meals

what of that? The plain dishes were

untouched by the great city's strife,
lived happy and innocent lives.
Maisie was tu-urly twenty years old
bow, and sixteea-ye-ar-old Meg was the
idol of her life. Hy the side of pre*-
tv Meg, Maisie was a plain littte pere
son. bet she tad soft eyes and i sweet

and looked thia and overworked.
-IVeIL Meg. out with voctr news!”
said Maisie.
-m read you what <'*S:na saysT*
Meg exciaitued. and read thus from a
letter.
“Dex est Meg —I am going » have

“Meg* dear, a party! Just *cink of

Then her face fell soddenly. “Boi
we can't got We've nothing to wear
mthe evening.''
The tears easee into Megs dark eyes
an she threw her tkarra in nue direc
tion and her hat in anochr.
“Maude, please can't we have some
ne* gowns just thia once? Please.
Maisie! I waat to go » mnch?"
Maisie never coaid beartodaiy/wr
'yoang sister anything attainable. She
hud down the loaf of bread, went over
to the bureau, took cat the worn leath
er wallet that bad been their fisther’a.
and cotinwd oil eighteen dollars—
all her savings for moutha.
“Dearie, that's all the ni»Hsey we
have—every bit. We most have some
more coal soon. And we might one
of os Edi ill, you know, pet.”
Bar Meg went on sobbing. Maisie
looked thoaghtfaliv at her small
hoard before she spoke.
“Don't ery any more. Meg- I think
there's enough for one gown, and that
shull le for yon—a srartet crepe,
darling, jest what we have always
wanted for yra. Don’t cry. dear. Yon
are going to look so nice in id There's
just time to get it made. if I work

Übe touched Meg’s curly head soft
ly and went back to her work. Meg
wiped her drowned eyes slowly.
“No, Maise.’she said, “you are the
older, you ought to have the new jvw n
ted go to the party. I will stay at
acme. That will be better than hav

Maisie sat the teapot down on the
hob rather emphatically.
“You are tar! Ina's friend, dear.”
she sud. “Her invitation is for you.
lam only ask:-d to go with yoa. It
wouidn't be doing right by Cariina if
I went and you di>; act. Yea mast
let me decide these matters. Meg. You

ished, wira. her urjst elder-sisterly

“I won’t go without yen. Maisie.".
Meg said ecoutiy. “Do you suppose
I could enjoy myself a bit at that par

I'll wear my white muslin. It hap

So they compromised, and Meg's
dark eyes grew bright again. They

cold ham and tea. it was a great

The next dav the menerial for the
new gown was bought, and ewiry
evening Maisie sat at work, over
whelmed in billows of searet crepe.
Meg was tumble to give her mttch as
sistance. Her examinations were
cowing on. and she mnst study.
Meantime Maisie woeld n*.*t own.
even to tarseif, that she was tired;
but the click, clack of the type-writer
seemed w rse than ever in her head,
and the benz of the sewing-machine
at night did n>'t make it any tatter
When at last however, rhe long
talked of evening armed, and she ar
rayed Meg in the scarlet crepe, she
f.-lt repaid for ail her labor. 1 her

But Meg eyed the stiSy starched

“Why. Maisie, any one would think

is so short! J look like the young a

“See that you hi! the place with

It was a tarescg party —Car'inx
