ALL THINGS END (® by D. J. Walsh.) ee L.SIE BOYD wiped dishes with an occasional glance at the heavy snowstorm which was enshroud- ing everything in a wintry fleece. Upon a day like this her mother was always worse. Mrs. Boyd was the kind of sick woman whose system de- mands sunshine quite as much as medicine. Knowing this, Elsie had not dared tell her that something had gone wrong with the furnace, that the gro- cer had presented his bill and that she had found a damp spot on the bedroom ceiling where the roof had sprung a leak before a mild rain had turned into the present snowstorm. To Elsie, washing dishes, these things mattered terribly. Moreover, it was left for her to tind a remedy for the pressing that threatened them. It was winter, their income was just half big enough. El- sie could not leave home because she had to look after her mother. There were no boarders to be had even roomers. It all seemed discouraging enough.

But Elsie shrank from going to the Scots. “I'l go down to the grocery and inquire there,” she said. She put on her hat and coat and again entered the storm, At the core ner grocery she found a group of men about the little coal stove talking ex- citedly. “You haven't heard whether they have found the Wells boy yet, have you, Elsie? old Mr. Stern asked. “The Wells boy?” FEisle stared at the old man. “Yes, Mary Wells’ boy. chi clothing wrapped him placed him and gave him a drink.

Only he called himself Bob Bell, so I did not know." Francis Hurd smiled. Without doubt the strain had been very great, “That is Robert, all right. He can’t say W and he prefers to be called Bob. All right, Ben. You can call in your rescuing party. I'll telephone his mother. Then I'll go home with you, Elsie, and recover my nephew.” He told her more about it as they walked through the storm His mother wasn't well and had come on to stay with few days, bringing four ert. ment where, say, unless fore long. together. his sister her for a vear-old Hob Mrs. Wells lived in a city apart. and the brook had fas- Robert.
