Old Mr. Merrill was ljdng wearily
buck on his couch, when Rose, his
pretty granddaughter, fluttered in,
all luce.and ribbons and dainty ap
parel; aud, dancing up to his side,
dropped him a fantastic little cqur

broidered purie: !
: ‘‘See, grandpa, dear, my poor
purse is empty; and there is such a
lovely costume at Madame Blanc's.
I must have it. You’ll give me the
money, won’t you?” and she looked
down at hiin with a winsome, be
seeching smile, that had, never yet
failed of its purpose. •
“Surely, dear,” said Mr. Merrill,

Grace did'not tell'Iter grandfather
