bNOWED IN
One cloudy wilder morning, not
less than twenty years ago, there
"as at: unusual commotion about
acertain little old house standing
far up on the St, John River.
\\ ithin, Mrs. Grace sat before
tlie great fire place iu the fore
room, so bundled up in shawls and
blankets and hoods that she could
scarcely stir. In a warm corner
of the hearth lay three or four
hot brinks, well wrapped in news
papers, and two home-made robes
were hanging across a chair to
warm, everything indicating pre
parations for a long cold jouney.
Without Mr. Grace was hitching
the old red mare into the tlii ls of
the still older red pung, that looked
as if it might have come over in
the “Mayflower.” His rouud good
natured face wore a troubled ex
pression, and he jerked at old
Dolly's bit once or twice in an un
gentle wav which wasn’t like him
self.
The small part of Mrs. Grace’s
face that was visible among the
folds of her home knit hood show
ed the same look of auxiety, and
her voice trembled a great deal
when she spoke to the children
and gave Charley her 'ast direc
tions. There were four of the
children- IXan and Emma, and
Joe and Charley—though Charley
was not oue of the G race children.
Mrs. Grace had taken her—a wee,
lame, little mite—when Cure was
no oue else to take her. and she
often declared ttat she couldn’t
and didn’t love one of her own lit
tle ones better than she could love
Charley. Emma, Dean and Joe
round, rosy little bodies of three
five and seven years, blue eyed
and yellow-haired. Charley was
eleven, and she was neither round
nor rosy. Her face was thin and
her eyes w. re big and shadowy.
And Charley was lame. There
was a pair of tiny crutches always
by her chair.
“I cculd’nt think of going,” said
Mrs- Grace, “if Charley wash’ t the
wise patieut little mother I know
she is. I never was so worried in
my life, Rut what can Ido ?”
It was a hard question to an
s v«r, indeed. For the night be
fore had come a letter to Mrs.
C race from her sist6r iu a distant
town, saying that her mother and
the children’s dear old grand
mother was very ill. “Come at
once,” the letter read ; and it was
old when Mr. Rrinpgold who lived
two miles above them, was their
nearest neighbor in the sparsely
settled region, brought ic from
toe post-oftice five below. It was
little to be wondered at that the
tears filed poor Mrs. Grace's eyes,
that her lips quivered and her
voice shook.
“I cju/d’nt go if it was not for
trusting in Charley so,” she re
peited time and again, in tones
that brought a pretty glow to
Charley’s little thin face. “I know
you will take good caie of them
dear. T 1 ere is bread enough
baked, and I’ve lef, the jtr of
doughnuts In the closet.”
“Oh, good again!” cried Joe.
“Can we have what we want ?
Wou’t it be fun, Charley ?”
“You must have what Charley
gives you, said Mis Grace and at
tend to what Cbatlejr Buy. I’ve
locked the pantry dooi so you
can’t bother her by running in and
ou'. Now—”
She looked at Charley as the
outer door opened.
“I’ll do just the best I can,” said
Charley, bravely.
“I know you will, deir. Be
good children, all of you.”
‘■There’s wood enough piled up
in the entry lo last you,” said Mr.
Grace, u little huskily. “We shall
be back day after to-morrow night
sure. All ready wife.”
And a few moments later old
Delly was jogging at her be9t
pace town ibe snowy level of the
r iver. It was thirty long iniies to
Dunbar Corner.
“I wish they weie home again,’
said Joe.
“They will be before you know
it/’ laughed Charley. “Now I’ll
tell ycu a story,'’
So the three little ones cuddle 1
around Charley s chair before the
open fire while she told them the
OLTR OWN SKOTION W . LABOR FOR ITS ADVANCEMENT
LAWRENCEVILLE, GA. APRIL 14 1886.
wonderful tale of the “Three Tiny
Pigs, and from the first to the
last they listened breathlessly,
though they bad heard the same
story many 1 imes before, no loubt.
Chari, y had a wonderful gift for
telling stories. Mrs Grace often
declared.
And Charley had a gift for
something beside story--t,ellrg.
When the stories came to and end
she smiled.
“Bring me my box, will you,
Joey, please ?” Charley asked.
Her poor ittle limbs tvtre so
west and misshapen that it was
with difficulty she could move
about, even with the aid of her
crunches.
Toe obeyed; climbing up on the
wide four-posted bed in the cor
ner and taking from a shelf nbov6
a square woodtn box with a sliding
cover. Dean And Emmy knew
what was coming then.
“Dive me the kitty,” pleaded
Emmy.
“And me die mooses,” said
Dean.
“They’re deers, goosey,’ said
Joe, with a liit/e scornfull sniff.
“Let me so? nil of ’em, won’t you,
Charley ?”
Charley smiled in the brightest
way and pulled off ibe cover.—
Shall I tell you what was there ?
The daintiest little images under
the sun, carved ali in w<od, and
ihe largest oue scarcely four iuebs
high. 1/ is true they were the
work of a single awkward tool, iu
mi tang hi linger-, but if yon had
seet. them. I am sure you sould
not have helped exclaiming, with
Joe and Dean and Emmy:
“Oh, Charley, how pretty they
are !”
They were exceedingly true to
life, too. There was the old
house cat, which Emmy ins'antly
appropriated—why, you could al
most hear her drowsy purr—
and there was Dean's “mooses,”
with Iheirdolica/e branching horns,
and a pair of rabbits eat dig clover,
and a cunning deeping b&by, and
there was old Dolly herself send
ing with drooping head and lop
ped ears—lazy Dolly.
“I’d know her anywheres,’’
laughed Joe.
Charley langed, too and fingered
her treasures lovingly. Her ehesks
glowed, aud her eyes were
starry.
‘•Do you think they're nice V
she asked; ‘as nice as some they
have in the stores at Christmas
time Joey V
“Nicer,” replied Joe, in a tone
expressive of great wisdom and ex
perience, “a whole heap nicer.”
“Well,” pursued Charley, “I'm
going to make all I can, and when
I get enough I’ll sand them to sell.
Mrs Ringgold said they ought to
be worth half dollar a piece. ”
0-oh !” cried Joe, qui e taken
aback bv this prospect of unbound
ed wealth. “'.Vhat’ll you do with
so much ’ ’
“I know” put in Dean, “Ycu’D
get cured wont you Chaney ?’
The quick tears sprang to Char
ley’s dark eyes:
“I will, if I can” she seid, and
she pulled Emm) to her, and hid
her face in the baby’s yellow curls,
“Maybe I can’L”
Mr. Perks said you could go to
see Dr. Lester, He can cure
everything.”
Rut it will cost a great deal of
money—maybe a hundred dollars,
said Charley, i’ll have 'o make
two hundred of these, Joey.
“Well, you ain’t going to wait
that long,” declared Joe, stoutly.
“Kathir says just as the old farm
pays anything, He’s going to take
you 'o Fiedrickton, to see Dr. Les
ler. Maybe ’twill pay next sum
mer ; we’re going to have a cow
then. And we haven't been here
long enough yet, you know.”
rhat'll be real nice,” said she.
“Now, after dinner, I’ll cut out
sometbiug morß.”
“I ihink its real fun,” said Joe
Rut Charley only shook head snd
B miled again.
Well, that day passed and the
next aud the time /lie sun did no/
once show his face The clouds
hung heavy and black, and dark
came early, and weather-wise Joe
with his nose against the window
prophesied a sioi in.
•1 hope twou't come: though,

lie said.
It did, however. When the
children awoke next morning the
snow was falling fast and steadily
iu large flakes. It had grown very
much colder, too, iu the night
Poor Tot teetl chattered spitefully
even after he had raked open the
bed of c mis in the fire place and
built i roaring tire. The wind
came up with the sun ; it whistled
and raved along U e b'eak river
shore iD a way that set the timbers
of tne old house to creaking dole
fully.
“I don’t believe they'll come to
night,’’ said Joe, when dark began
to fall.
“Won’, they, Charley
“Oh, Charley, won't’em?”
“Do you s’pose a wolf chased
father an’ mother ?" asked Joe,
with a dismal quaver, breaking iu
up n the narrative of the “Tiny
Eig.”.
“ i wolf couldn’t catch our Dol
ly,” said Dean quickly; she's too
smart and big.’’
Charley laughed. For the world
she would not have acknowledged
that such a possibility had occur
red to her own mind.
“It’s the storm that keeps them,
she said cheerily. It's a dreadful
storm, you. They’s be here to
morrow-—I know they will.”
But to morrow came and went—
a long dreary, freezing day, and
the fifth morning dawned. How
biiterly 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 high with the snow, and
when Joe tried to open the outer
door a white wall repelled him
Their store of provisions too, was
nearly exausted and that seemed
worse than all, until Joe came in
from /tie entry with his arms full
of wood, and his eyes full of
tears.
“That s every bit there is,” he
quavered. “Oh, Cuarley, why
(lou’L father come?”
“He will,” said Charley, with a
brave blight smile, though her
heart was like lead. “Now we’ll
be eal saving ot this wood, and
only put on one stick at a time.”
Oh, how cold the room grew !
—colder and colder, while tune
dragged ou and those last sticks
were burning slowly away. They
ate their last b.ts of biead then,
and because Charley said she co lid
not eat, there was a very liitle
more for Em ny and Dean a.id
Joe.
But Joe, though he looked
wistfully a 1 the frozen morsels,
was struck with a sudden recollec
tion.
“You didn t tat any breakfast,
Charley, nor any last night because
your bead ached. Ain’t you hun
gry 1
“Never mind,” said Charley,
cheerily. “I’ll eat euougii when
they come home ”
The bread disapeared to the last
crumb then.
“I’m awful hungry yet,” said
Joe.
“So’rn i,” echoed Dean, with a
pitifl pucker.” “and I’m awful
cold. ’
Charley hugged Emmy tighter
aud looked around.
There were the chairs—stout
oaken ones.
“Can’t you break up a chair Joe?’’
she asked.
But he aoold’t, though he tried
mmfully—poor little Joe— with
tears standing on his cheeks,
“Never mind.” said Charley
and then the litile group huddled
together of tie dying fire- How
cold it was ! and low the wind
rocked the old house and blew i's
freezing breath in ihrough every
chink !
“I’m sleepy,” murmured Emma,
drowsily. Charley looked at her in
sudden terror. She had been sob'
bing wiib cold and hunger, and
how her baby face looked piuclied
and her hands blue with cold,
but the golden head drooped
heavily against Charley’s arm—
and Emmy never went to sleep at
this time of the day. A dull red
coal winked among the ashes.
Charley saw it and straightened
Emmy with a litte shake.
“ RVll have a funny fire," said
she, with a catch in tier voice.—
“Bring the—the box, Joey.”
“Oh, Charley, no !”
“Yes,” said Charley. “I can
make plenty more Wake up
Emmy."
And in a minute Kimay was
wide awake enough to see a liny
bright blaze upon the hearth.
They burned the box first and the
protiv carvings one by one. All
too soon they were gone, and there
only remaiued a few ashes.
“I’m just as cold.' whimpered
Dean. “I’m sleepy, too, Charley.”
“Well, you shall go to sleep,”
said Charley, “and when you wake
up I know they'll be here But
we'd have some nice fun first.
Who wants a doughnut?"
“Oh, Cliarley Gince, you haven’t
gone !"
“Yes I have r Murned Charley
wi ll a triumphant li'tle laugh.’’
I saved these out of miue. She
stood Emmy on the hearth aud
hobbled as briskly us she couhl
across the floor, placing two chairs,
oue at each end of the room.—
Now yon ruu a race around those
until I say it’s enough, and I'll
give you one apiece. Run as fast
as you can.”
A' first the children demurred,
they were so cramped and tired
aod drowsy; but the sight of three
brown delicious looking cakes,
which Charley produced from her
pocket nerved them to action.
Around ani around the chairs
they ran, Joe ahead, and Emmy in
the rear, bieathing out little clouds
of steam. And Charley laughed
and clapped her hands and cheer
ed them on until at last .hey stop
ped lion sheer fatigue, puffing like
three smai. locomotives, end with
•.heir pulses beating in at a lively
ra ! e.
Charley hobbled over to the
bed. “Get in, all of you,’’ she
-aid; “then I’ll give you your cakes.
I know thoy’il be here when you
wake up.
She tucked them warmly in bed
aad then she went back to her
chair. She put the ends of her
cru'ches upon to or three live
coals and blew them into a tiny
blaze Fret/y soon, when she had
warmed herself a little, she would
criep up beside Emmy aud listen
Zo the deep regular breathing
from /lie bed.
“They are going to sleep she
murmuted. I'va done the best
I could —the best I could.”
The words echoed from the
wails of the \va Is of the cold litte
room and rang themselves ovei
and over in ner brain. How warm
the place war growing and how j
dark ! She thought she would |
crawl over to the bed and get in
witli Emmy and Dean and Joe.
//ut she did notstT.
Sho sat there still, it lit’le white
figure, with u pair of half-burned
crutches at her feet, when less
than an hour later a man, with
frosty beard and hair, forced
himself through the bank of sno"
at the door. It was Mr (Trace alone
for the storm had rtndercd the
roads impassible, and he had
tramped the whole distance from
Dunbar Coiuer on scow-shoes
It was a long, wearying tiump,
no doubt, and he had been about
it two days. Rut when opened
the door of his home Le forgot it
all In less than a minute he had
made kindling wood of oue of
the chairs and in another one or
two a brisk fire was burning on
the hearth, and M . Grace, in ter
rible fear, was rubbing Charley,s
hands and forcing some brandy,
from the little flask he carried,
down her throat She opened
her byes presently and looked up
into the kind face above ber in a
bewildered way.
“Emmy—Dean—Joe—are— ’’
“All right—al 1 right 1” yelled
Mr. Grace, nearly beside himstll
wi h delight; aud then he went
down upon his knees before Char
ley and cried : “We are all right
my dear,”
Aud so indeed they were. 1
haven t the space to tell you all
/hat happened—wlmt Mrs. Grtce
said and did when sue came, a few
days later; with the welcome rews
that grandmother was better, and
heard wliat Mr. Grace had already
beard from Joe and Emmy and
Dean ; how the story was told
ihroughou' the settlement over
and over, and how Charley was
prased on ull sides ; nor how the
JOHN T. WIIXON, .In,, l'tililmher
people of Grand Fork, the lit tit
village live miles below got up a
fair for Charley’s benefit, which
give her enough to take her to
Dr. Lester that very next spring,
and /hough he could not entirely
cure, her the weak little limbs
grtw ho much Stronger and better
that sho was able to go without
crutches, by liiut ing a very little.
When Dr Lester, too, enue to
know who Charley was—for the
story of that winter's day luid al
ready ft uelied Itis ears—lie refnaed
lo take his fee, but instead, added
to the little roll of bills, and put
whole in a bank—for C mrley.
“She will want to go to school
in a little while.’ said he ; “/ thisk
she must, study art.”
“Why, wlmt makes every one so
good to me asked Clmrlev, with
happy tears; “I didn’t do any
thing."
“Didn’t you '"asked Mrs. //race,
in return, kissing tLa glad little
face—“didn’t you ?"
TH E TRUE FIUEND.
A certain merchant hud three
sous. When I lie youngest came
of age he called them together
aud said to them in a voice husky
with emotion :
“Now, boys, yon all go out in
to the world and acquire a knowl
edge of hu in a n nature. At the
end «f the year you will return,
aud the one who lias acquired the
best friend will recieve this mag
nificent diamond ring."
The young men having taken
the ring to a jeweler and satisfied
themselves that it was uot a Cali
fornia diamond, accepted the sit
uation and stai ted out. At the
end of the year they returned,
looking somewhat the worse for
wear. The old min immediately
issued his call for a mass meeting,
and and they gathered around
him. //« called for the reports
from the various committees
The tiist one hfeiej up his voice
and said;—
“I had an uft’air of honor. I got
iuto a quarrel anil a challenge
passed. We were to fight at ten
steps. My friend came forward
arid took my place. He was bad
ly wounded Ini/ I believe he saved
my life. I claim the ring for hav
ing acquired the most self-sacri
ficing friend.”
No 2 then took the It >or and
addressed the chair ;
“I was on board of a -ship. We
had a collision. I found myself
iu the water. My frior.d was near
me cm a hen coop When lie saw
me he swam off and let me have
the hen-coop We were boh
picked up afterwards, but he un
doubtedly saved my life. 1 think
my friend was the boss.”
“iVhat sort of a friend have
you got to show up on?" asked
the father of a third sou.
“I was in a tight place,” he re
sponded . “I Imd bceu fooling
with a tiger, and lost all my mon
ey. My frien I came forward and
advanced me SSOO, and refused to
take my note for the amount.”
“To you belongs the ring,” said
the merchant. “Your older broth
er's friend wav simply a bet’ei
shot I u the case of your other
bin;her, his friend was simply a
butter swimmer. They took risks,
I ad mi, ; I admit; out your friend
has sustained an actual, bona fide
loss, fur he will never get his mon
back. You guinea the best friend
for he has made actual sacrifices.
Here is the priceless gem of the
