No one calls it selfish, no one te an noyed, because the has done it so prolUly snd gracefully. Indeed every one experiences an cx cense of warmUi and comfort In Muinselvee from beboldleg pussy's bltisful reposo. Now Imagine the same thing done In a different way, and by less self-posted Individual, If Itwere done hnnelly or noisily, or clumsily, or dkereuUy even, or any way obtrusively, what a storm of Indignation It would exclteln the bosom of all beholdcia?

She jumped np quickly and took a survey of hrr surroundings. Oue side of the cabin seemed ???to be a mass of broken timbers, through which came little gleams of da;llght and a glimpse of waving grass. The ship Wdfi evidently not on the water and itevcr would be again. It was very queer, hut ft might be the fashion In the moon to live In a ship, Stella thought. Three or four of tho dirtiest children Stella had ever foen were quarreling over some object As Stella drew near ahe (aw that It waa-oh, horror??? the headless body of Cinderella.

And Uncle John would not believe any more than if he had been Jack???that the man lived in the moon. When they reached home fh-y found Stella???* father and mother, her eight bribers and sirers. and even Deborah almost distracted with grief and anxiety. Tho whole town waa acarchingfor Stella.

An officer was sent to arrest tho tramp early next morning, but the rchooner w??a deserted, there were scarcely any signs that anybody had ever lived there, excepting poor Cinderella's body, which he brought home.
