"It'a going to boo snoppin' cold night, mother, ana so I toll yon," r.nid 5Hss Elsa Robbies, wurmiup; her- claw-liko flngeis over tho blaza of nu nrtuful of piuo logs which she had j tsl flung on the fire. ''Ami I'm v;ry glad, mother, that we've got the russet apples safe into tho ccllr.r, for its on them I place uy main dependence for tny interest money this j-ear." Mrs. Bobbins satknitting in the cush ioned rocker n wrinkled, bright-oyed little old woman, whose caps were always ppotlesily clean, nnd whoso dresses never seemed to wear rmt. "Frost, eh,' said she. "I rather guess so," responded Elsa, with n shiver. "Slari shiuin' like so many little diamond specks, nnd a new moou behind the pine!" Well, it's a good thing we ain't stint ed for wood," cheerfully observed Mrs. Robbins. You're always finding out some good thing or other, mother," said Elsi, a lit tle petulantly. 'Li, child, the world is full of 'em!" said Mrs. ItoLbina, who had a sweet. plahitivo voice like n, whip poor-will. Thi Lord, Ho's a deal beltir to us than we deserve!" "Well, then." qnnintly remarked EUn. I may as well tell you now ns ever, that the roof's leakln' dreadful had." "Leakin", is it?" said Mrs. Robbinp. Where?" "Up garret," said Elsa. "Over the west More-room," wen, it h luclty It alu't leakin' over the rooms wo live in," slid the inveter ate old optimist, "If it was to leak nt all, it couldn't have selected a better spot. "Aod the fence is down in the north lot," remarked EUa, "and Neighbor Car ter 8 cattle aro nil iu! "Illrss me!'' said Mrs, Robbins. 'Well, thero ain't much but rock and ranllein-sUlUs in that lot, anyhow, nnd Neighbor Cirter don't half feed his cat tle. I'm glad the poor creatures can have a good bite for on.-e in their livcsl "And I've had a letter from Walter's widow," added Elsa; "and ihe wants to come here with her children." "Tell her to come," said Mrs. Rob bins. "It nin't a fine city place, and maybe Bhe and tho little ones will find it hard to make out on mush nnd mo lasses nnd baked potatoes, as we do. Hut she's my nephew's widow, nnd sho'Jl be welcome here. "But, mother," said Elsa, "think what you are doing. Another family In this crnmped-up little house a lot of noixy children, racing and streaming about a fine lady to be waited on, who is certainly as able to take care of her self as wo are to tako caro of her. Aud you know that we owe a larojo bill at tlm grocer's, and we haven't piid for the cow yet, nud the tiil.iress business is getting duller every year, now that folks Inyo taken the notion to go to the city for their little boys' suits. And "Well, child well,'' serenely inter posed the old lady, "God will profile, II always docs. And it's a dreadful tliinj; to be a widow and Imim-l.ss, Wrl'a to her, Elsa, aud tell her to come." 'But she has no money lo (ravel with," blun'ly added Elsa. "She wants in to send her tuenty dollar. She. has written to Cousin Marrett. un at the Grange, and theT won't even answer Ler letter." "Dear, dearl that's bad!" coood Mrs. Robblux. "No money nt all. Poor houII poor soul!" "Well but mother," pleaded Elsa, ",ve haven't got uuy money, either to spare!" "There's the chicken money." said Mrs, Robbins, looking wistfully up. "lint that wna to buy you a warm, new ch'nk, molher," "Will, I'll nuke tho old gray shawl do for another year," said Mm. Robbins. "And Walter's widow must have money lo pay htr travel:ug expenses poor thing! It was very wrong of Olivia Mar rett not to answer her lrtUr very. But pllvla and her husband was always closo. It's their nature, I do s'poso." Aud Elsa broke out laughing, with a tear iu the corner of ber hard, gray tyes. "Yon dear old mother!" slid s.ho. "I b&lUvo I should have loit faith in hu wan $1.00 If nature nnd everything edio long ago, If it hadn t been for yon. Let Waller s wid ow and her children come. Wo'ro poor, nnd in debt, and enn't find bread for our own two selves; but I bellevp, for once, I'll follow jorr example, mother, and trust in Providence. And she sat down una wrote tn Walter llobblns' widow, inclosing that laat twenty dollar bill, which was to have bought the warm winter cloak fur tho old lady, who st contentedly knitting in the coral glow of tho firelight. Mr. Walter Robbins was silting by the fire uUo. but not such n firo as il lumines the farm bouse kitchen with n oflerhhino than any electric light It wa3 n mcro haudful of coals, iu a rusted grate, over which she bent with a shud der, ns the wind howled by, shaking Iho window-pones nnd rattling the paper shades. She was mending the children's stocklDgs, and as she worked n little girl crept out of thu bed and stole ucrcss tho fl.ior to hor side. "Mamma, I can't got warm,'" said she. "Isn't there any firt?" "There's ft fire, dear " said Mrs. Itoh bins; "but wo can't have much, for there's only a peck of coal left In the box." "Mamma," went on the child, "why don't our fires Mi ine red nid bright like the fires I seo throngh other people's windows, sometimes?" "Wo can't nffird it, dear," sighed tho widow, "If you let the coal blaze and crackle it soon turns into ashes, and wo must economize" "Mamma," spoko up a liny voice from the bed, "I didn't eat quite enough supper. Can't I have another half slico ofbrtad?" There is no more, Bessie," said Mrs. Robbins, with a pang, sharper than any serpent's tooth, nt her heart. ''Go to sleep, dear; you'll soon forget that you nre hungry, nnd in the morning we nre to start for tho country, you know." Bessie's eyes sparkled. "Wo can have all tho milk we want then, mamma, can't we?" said she. "And pick up nuls where they grow among the leaves, nud eat apples without paying two.rcents apiece for them," chimed in Lillie. "Oh, mamma, why don't everyone llvo in tho country? Mam ma, don't yon love Cousin Elsa nnd her mother? Is Cousin Elsa n little girl? Will sho j.liy with us?" "I don't know," said Mrs. Robbins, with a quiver in her voice. "Xo, she is not n child ; she. ii a woman, like me. But I think she must be an angel in her heart." For Elsa Robbins bad been tho first helping hand which had been stretched out to lift the poor little widow out of tho abyss of troubles which bad almost overwhelmed her since her husband died, in tho far-away Mexican lands whither ho had gone to make the fortune which, alas! was never made. She had become sadly used to sharp words and cold glances, but klndnens, sympathy, tender recognitions of her claims to kinship, were new and precious to her. Just then there came a heavy, creaking footstep on the floor a tup at the door, Little Lillis jumped up and scampered back lo bed. Bessie drew her curly yel low head under the Bbeets. "It's n mistake.'" said Mrs. Robbins, spititlessly; "No.oqy ever comes here." But she rose nnd opened the door, There stood ft stout, middle-aged man, with cheerful blue eyes, n rnddy com plexion, and leg-of-mutton whiskers, slighhtly sprinkled with'gray. "Does Mrs. Walter Robbins live here?" he asked, Miss EUn had made waffles for supper, und had fried some fresh crullers, brown and light as butterfly-wings.

BAEBAEA FEITCHIE'S TRUE 8T0BY. It was tn her own troops that Barbara waved tho tlig.iuspirlng them on n march that involved some of tho most intense suffering of the war. The days were op- pressive.tbe roads sunny and full of dnst and any moment might bring the con tending forces face to face. It was the day beforo tho South Mountain battle. South Mountain lies twelve miles west of Frederick, an (Mo this poiut Gen. Reno, under Burnsidp, was pressing when he passed Dame Barbara's door. 'They were passing all day," Mr. II, wont on tn say, "but in tbo morning I said to my daughter, Julia, there aro so many soldiers around, go acrrss the bridge; nnd bring Aunt over; Bhe is all alone and may feel, afraid." "And did you bring ber back?" said I "Oh.no," laughed Julia. "Aunt Frilch- ie was standing nt the window, nodding nnd smiling to the troops, who were gathered all about her, aud when I came she said, 'Child, band me my flag; you'll find it iu my Bible!'

"And how old is grandmother?'' ho snid. Some one replied, "Ninety-six." "Ninety-six!" Halt! Three oheers for the loy- ul old grandmother! A shout went up that had somo sound in it; the Gineral dismounted, eutared the liltlo house with one of his aids, shook hands with 11 ir ham, was seated, and in n fuw minutes the old lady was pourlughim ont n glass of wine of her wn making. Good-l.yo was spoken and the troops passed on; but nearly all that day the aged figure oonl 1 be sceu cheering the parsing sol'' ieri by her eiilhtniasiu.
