of on the fftfie of the earth. Burn it I
could not. Break it I could not. I
could not hide it in the attic, for Aunt
Carraway would be sure to make an ex
pedition thither within twenty-four
hours of her arrival! If I should throw
it behind the wood-shed, Biddy would
trip oveS it and fracture her classic nose.
A brilliant idea presented itself! I
would bury it in the vegetable garden,
near the potato patch,
“The turf shall be its winding sheet,”
sang I triumphantly, and bore it to the
•pot. __A few spadefuls of earth, a few
never smile on me again. A woman
must be an angel to forgive an irrepara
ble ir jury to a new dress.
Of course I apologized, and of course
she pretended not to care; but a certain
freezing dignity crept into her manner
for the remainder of the call, and "by the
time we reached “the cunning little
yellow squashes ” her enthusiasm was as
dead as Julius Caesar.
The visitors declined an invitation to
enter the house and rest. Mrs. Ciggs-:

abundance of sympathy, made tempora

an unwonted chill at my heart.
Looking across the street I espied a
ragman’s cart standing -at the Widow
Dickerman’s. A wild impulse seized
me. I snatched the “ fiend ” from the
ash barrel, and, as I ran up-stairs, called
out, “ Bridget, run over to Mrs. Dicker-
man’s, please, and tell that ragman to
be sure and stop here.”
The rag-bag always hung by Arabel
la’s sewing-machine in the bedroom.
Twisting the fiend into the smallest
possible compass, I wrapped and tied it
securely in a ragged dish-towei, and
pnsiied it down, down, down, to the very
bottom of the bag. No, that wouldn’t
do. With a Machiavellian cunning I
pulled the “ fiend ” up toward the mid
dle, “He will never discover it till he
gets to the paper-mill,” thought" ly
“farewell, ruthless destroyer of my
peace, farewelll”
By the time my arrangments were
completed the Widow Dickerman had
come to the end of naif-
f5j^fS*5ups and griddle-cake turners,
and the cart was at the door. With a
stolid countenance, but a throbbing
heart, I stood nonchalantly by, while
the peddler weighed ani- emptied tlia
rags and counted out the cash. I did
not draw a full breath till I saw the
back of the cart vanish over the toj* of,
the long, hilly street, on the
