Tho cobbler shook his head.

"Hut la.why, there is folks thinks meat

"Did you hay bread was unhulsomo

I'd left you living out at service. Uo

"audi Just know how nice and cozy

And how we used to go tollobokenand
have lemonade in tliegartlen, and como
home after dark an afternoon, and how
wo nxed to go to church on Sunday

"L'hciI," filghccl poor Nick.
"Why, it can't be all up hill," eaid
Becky. "I haven't tlmo to go out gal

Wo'ro steady married folks now, you

"Oh, Becky," wild tho cobbler, "you

"They looked at each other, and their

, He had no dinner, but hu had a great
dealoflovo t6 give them, and wimd
pieces of red kid. And the fact that.
mother and the. haskct were gone to-
gOther, Impressed them with the holm
bf'provlslons.
r Mean while, Becky had gone a begg
ing. It would bo horrible, no doubt,
she thought, to take food from strangers
out sno round tlial there was one
thing even more terrible not to tako
It.
Door alter door was slamined in her'
face. Once a dog was set at her, or sho
thought so. Profes'ional beggars had'
made themselves nuisances to many1
people, and how were they to know
When real poverty 4skcd alms. Men
whom they had pitied as paupers prov
ed to bo owners of real estate. Cripples
and blind men whom they had aided,
were found to have bound up strong
limb" und glued their eyes together so
Jhoy wero hard upon real distress and
refused it broken bread.
At six that evening Dicky stood at a
street corner, with one crust in her bas
ket no more.
Boyond lay a pawnbroker's shop, and
Becky looked at its golden balls and;
her wedding ring, ftholmd worn it fif
teen years, and It was thin and frail,
but pure gold. Through all, she had
kept it -until' now. Must It go? The
tliopght was worse than-begging
Becky-took a step, forward, another
back. Then sho began to cry a little.
Nick's ring, that he put ou her hand so
long-ago oh, dear I eh, dear!
I But sho grew brave agaln,-and walk
ed into the shop, -nwned the' ring! It
JYttB. not much' they gave for it, but It
would buy supper, and perhaps sho
could get It hack.- That was a very faint
Idea,' jierhitps, however.
'A. woman was in tho pawnshop, as
she waited, bargaining with the pro
prletor over a suit of little girl's cloth-
,InR costly thlnuo,"" ' iacx lev
lanu. liccKy nouceu mis,, saying to
hersflf-' that they were never fairly
ifoiiio-liv. lint .alio hud ionrotteti all
about it, when, coming outof the ha-.
iicr's, a llttlo voice fell on her ear; -and
looking down, sawn barefoot child, in
wretched rags, sobbing piteoiirly.
Becky was -oil hearted ; but, lu poor
imurters, crying children tiro mmimm
enough, and her own wero walling for
the loavei.in her basket. She walked on
hastily, and so ,,et tho .odd.,,-. Then
Becky ii.-c iN muM -Up and pick 1" .
IP i
"Why don't ytui go home to your
mother thi- night-lime," -he said, "and I
not stand here to bo knocked down."
, And a little iver voire of a thread
answered :
"I can't find mania. 1 can't Und my j
home. Where N mama! Oh, mama!"
Becky kneltdtiwu. A whlto head of
crumpled curl-, and a pair of blue eyes,
swimming in tear-", Mio could just make
out.
i "I'll lako you homo -only say
where," she said. '
But the child could tell nothing. It
wn- plainly lost. Becky took It In her
mil!.-', and made Inimirles at the corner
crucery, where she bought a slice or
hum ; hut no one knew the child. It
was growing late, ton, and Becky could
not leave it to Its fate.
"I'll tako it home," she saiil.aud "to
morrow find its folks."
Ho, when the cobbler and his children
in their Juvcnilo v!qvs of buch matte,
opinloned that they had another Utile
sister.
"It's n poor lost child," wild Becky.
"I'm going to keep it to-night. Its pa
rents are poorer than wo aro: you can
seo that by Its bare feet and only one
llttlo front -poor thing I Now hold her,
Nick while I cook supper. 1 didn't beg
it, Nick-so don't fret."
And then, keeping hor ring-finger out
ofsight, Becky fried the lmui,nnd made
the gravy, and cut the bread, ami sent
for two cents worth of milk which Ju-dlclou-ly
clilutod, made a tmart of milk
and water, and trial to be very cheer
ful. The lnt child cried, but Becky fed it,
'ami boon coaxed It lo talk ; then came a
story of a blue dress, and a nasty wo
man, Thu youngest, who had chewed tho
red kid, acted interpreter. Hoon it was
discovered that somo person described
as nasty, had laken away the chilli's
bluo dri-bs and other garments, and had
whipped her.
Becky listened Intently,
"That dress was blue, Nick," she
cried. 'l know lf-wasn't hers-u tipsy,
ragged woman ; und folks that own
them don't como pawning. I "
Then sho paused the secret was out,
Nick's eyo had glanced toward her wed
ding ring, and back again to her face.
"O, Becky!" ho cried. "Becky, wo
jlldn't think ."
Becky tluslicil scarlet.
"I didn't mean to tell," she sa!d,"biit
now Ifi) out; I'm married all the same,
thank Ood. It was nt tho pawnshop I
saw the blue dress. And hIio told them
of thu woman whom .she had watched,
Snd of her suspicious. "Tho child has
been stoleiij Nick," shn said, "It's a
genteel child, you can see; and If wo
can but find Its rmnin ou, wo may save
somo ono troubhi wo'yo never had.
Think of ono of our little ones being
gone all night, Nick I"
The baby's name seemed to lie Min
nie Kmlth though M, S, might be
anything else; und putting the children
all to hcil, all In a row, flke tho little
Ogres In fairy talcs, save that they had
no crown on, Nick and his wife started
off to tho pawnbroker's
Tho wan was good natured, and look
ed at tho garments. They wero mark
ed M. S.
"I'm right, then," said Becky. "They
are tho child's and they have been sto
len. And lf wecan find its poor mother
we'll. save more than any hut a mother
can tell."
"But think, or nil thn Smiths," said
the pawnbroker. "There's thousands
of 'em."
"And thousands," said Becky. "Hut
Ihe.io men meaning the police- they
may know."
.And out went Nick und Ilccky, to
tpucstlon tho guardians of tlio night, un
till, at last, despairing of un answer,
they were turning homownnl, when n
bla.cof light from an open door fell
over them, and they saw on tho steps a
weeping woman and a tall, handsome,
man.
"My precious little Minnie," cried
tho woman.
Then Nick and Betty gavo a sort of
cheer in union. Oh, mum if your name
is Smith, and you've lost a little girl
we've fountl her."
And then then (he cobbler and his
wlfo woro pounced upon nnd the story
told.
In half an hour the six little Ogres,
without crowns were aroused from their
slumbers by an arrival in their midst
aud tlio odd baby wa.s taken out, to
their distress nnd consternation, for
they had counted on keeping her.
And Nick and Betty forgot their
own troubles In tho parents' Joy. And
Mck said It was like poetry.and Becky
said It was like a play 1
And bo It was one with a happy
ending what did the lady do but beg
and pray Becky to tell her what sho
would liko best, and Becky confessed
that to havo her wedding-ring back
wasthehopoofher life; and this led
to the causo of Its pawning and all the
storyof poverty and sorrow. Then the
dark hours ended and tho day broke;
and there was food and Are j and as it
happened, that baby, Mlnnio's father,
needed just such an honost man for
work as jroor Nick could do, ho gavo
th place to tho cobbler; nnd from that
day there was cnougtTaud to spare In
tho little homo, bocauso of tho simple
goodness shown to tho baby Minnie.
"So It's uevcr time thrown away to
do a kindness to any one," says Becky,
often; somehow you are always reward
ed for It. If I'd loft tho llttlo lost beg
gar's chlld.as I thought it, in the street
and never stopped to care for It as I
might have done in such trouble-
where would Nick havo been and the
children and mo this night? Not that
I did anything but what a Christian

A MKHOHANTof standing and wealth

mother was dead and she kept house
for her father. Tho visits of tho mer

that tho father was generally present al

that it was impossible, for ho had never

When ho was asked why he did not
put a stop to a step that could only be
fraught with misery to all sides, ho
said that his daughter, when sho told

Mark Twain en the AccQrdeou.
Mauk was as many other young mea
are at somo period of their lives, anx
ious to learn music. Ho tried first one
Instrument then another, till ho finally
settled clown to tho accordeon. On that
soul stirring article of music lie learned
to play that melodious and popular air,
"Auld Lang Syne." For about a week
lie continued to torture his unwilling
hearers, when being of an ingenious
turn of mind, ho endeavored to Improve
upon the originnl melody by adding
some variations of his own. But who
has ever seen a real genius succeed yet?
Just ns Mark had finished his only tune
and wound up with an admirable
flourish, tho landlady rushed into his
room. Said sho:
"Do you know another tuno but that
Mr. Twain ?" I told her meekly I did
not. "Well, then," said she, "stick to
It Just as It is ; don't put any variation
to it, because it Is rough enough on Iho
boarders tlio wuy It is now." '
Tho upshot was, that the "roughnerts"
was toon made manifest, for half thtj
boarders left, and tho oilier half would
have left had not tho landlady dis
charged Mark, Then, like tho war,
derlng Jew, Mr. Twain wont frout
house to house. Nono would under
take to keep him after ono night's mu
sic ; so at lost In sheer desperation, ho
went to board"at an Italian latly's-Mrs.
Murphy by naino. Ho says;
The first tlmo I struck up tho variation-,
a haggard.earo-worn,, cadavcroui
old man walked In my room and Btooi
beaming upon mu n smllo of lnoflabla
imppiuess, xnen no pmcoci Ms hand
upon my head, nnd looking devoutly
aloft, ho said with feeling unction, and
in a suicsj iieiuuiuii; wun emotion.
"Uod bless you. vouni? man 1 (1ml 1,1m!

my neck nnd wept a flood of happy'
fears. J was surprised at these thing;
but 1 could not help Riving tho old iwiif

out or tho door. They doubled hlifi
