finished pouring the je’lv she was mak¬

father wi 1 be waiting and right angry
he'll be, too. Come, dearie.”
“ No, I won’t!”
The diminutive figure, perched upon
the kitchen table, swung its little s ip
pered feet back and forth, and pushing
a cloud of yellow hair from a rosy face,
looked up into the honest countenance
of the old woman with a pair of mis¬
chievous eyes.
“No, nurse—that’s a darling—don’t
make me go. I’ve been shut up in that
horrid hoarding-school for two ye ars —

with mock dignity, a simper¬

She paused in front of a mold of jelly

herself with a spoon, confiscated a gener¬

“ Queen in the kitchen, eating bread
and honey!” she sang, gayly.
fcihe turned suddenly as she spoke, and
with a dexirous movement flirted the
white cap from the decorous old woman’s
head, and perched it lightly upon her
own. Then seizing the spectacles, she
placed them on her own straight and
rather diminutive nose, and then, cFaf to
Nurse Gleason’s remonstrances, she
folded her arms sedately upon her
bosom, and walked sedately toward the
door, just as it opened from , without,
and a tail form stood upon the threshold
—Mr. Allen Trevor!

A flush shot across the clear, dark
cheeks of the intruder.
He replaced the hat which he had
doffed, and with a low bow, disappeared.

closed. “ The very nicest young man in

“It is in the coal mine over there!”
he cried hurriedly. “ There has been an

A scene of excitement followed the
dreadful announcement. Some of the
