'.' ,i7.'bath had been up in the City Hall
r.'.i i. on ploa.iiiut of teniooiw, and thero
b'm! I nd' scon the ladies and gentlemen
wlio woro pretty shoes. So she knew
what tlioy were like But that was a
long lime ago.
'Liz'beth felt very sad this morning,
for her kitten had just diod.
It wasn't muoh of u kitten, either. Ouo
of its eyes was go; o, and eomo ciuel boy
had out oft a piece of its tail. Tlie cold
weather had wilted an ear, so that it
Imng foiward, giving poor kitty the look
ot a disreputablo character. But her
I. .Ho mistress thought she was beautiful
ami loved her better than anything else.
'Liz'beth called her kitten "Bijou."
!5iio hadn't any idea what it meant, and
she couldn't have spelled it to save her
life. Bat one day in tho pretty park n
laily weBt by leading a curly whito dog,
w iiu h she called "Bijou, "and that night
'L,..'.'beth christened tho kitten.
The little girl sold papers in those days,
nud every day slio bought a penny's
worth of milk, which she gave Bijou,
and sho used to beg scraps of meat from
tho market on tlie comer. Sometimes
tho found a Ilsh in the ash barrel, not
over fresh usually, but Bijou wasn't par
ticular. 1'vo forgotten to tell you that 'liz'beth
had not lived alone in tho cellar always.
lJomeono whom she called "Mag"usedto
bo thero. 'Liz'beth was afraid of Jlag,
Sho was good enougli when sho was sober,
but that was so seldom.
Sometimes Mag would be away for a
whole week, and 'Liz'beth would dread
to have her como back, she was always
co ugly.
Onco sho came home more licrco than
usual ; sho was in troublo, and wanted
money. 'Liz'beth had been lucky for n
week, and had saved almost $1. Sho got
it out from behind a brick that was her
b,ank and gavo it to tho wretched
womau, who struck her in return and
went away,
Liz'beth was pretty well used to blows :
sho'd had a lot of them ; but somehow it
hurt worso than usual this time. Her
head ached, and her poor little desolate
heart ached, too. There was a tight feel
ing in her throat, and tho first thing'sho
knew sho was crying so hard that Bijou,
who lay in her lap, was all wet.
It seemed to her Bhe could remember
when soma ono with pretty hair and soft
gray eyes had held her and rocked her
and sung what was it she used to sing?
Lizbeth closed her oyes, swayed to and
fro.'nnd tried to think.
Softly through tho mist of almost for
gotten tilings camo tho shadowy men
ory of that song so softly that it seemed
only the ghost of words that whispered :
A sleepy kiss is the only fare:
Dear little paienser, say cood-ntsht.
Into the station ot dreamland we co.
Baby and I, In our rocking chair.
Ho w queer it seemed ! " There's surely
something tho matter with my head,
said 'Liz'beth, and then she began to think
again ; tho fancies were pleasant if they
were queer.
Tho next thing that came to her was a
remembrance of the same misty sort
concerning some ono else some ono big
and handsome, witli kind, brown eyes
and a voice not so soft as the other, but
yet good to hear,
"Is baby asleep, little mother?" tho
voioe said. And how near it was I so
near that the mustacliod lips touched tho
baby s cheek, and then
"Jiow much she Is like you your
mouth and chin and hair. I believe sho
will have your eyes, too. I wonder if
that is what makes me love her so?"
Lovelier! "Wholovesher? Howstrango
that someone should lovelier! And what
was tint about the eyes and mouth and
hair? 'Liz'beth got abit of looking glass,
crept close up to the grating where tho
treat lamps shone in, and looked at her
self. It was a wistful sort of face : tho
mouth had a quiver in it and the eyes
ye, they were gray, but not like those
otlier eyes. There was a pathetic, ap
pealing look in them that made 'liz'beth
i Jmost sorry for herself.
She put away tlie glass and tried to
woo the fancies back, but they did not
come, and soon sho fell asleep,
When she awoke tho sun was shining
in her face andBijou was mewing loudly,
'liz'beth sat up, or tiled to, but she felt
very strange. Her head was light, and
she laid it down again. Her throat was
sore and her lips were parched.
"Dear me." she thought, "it must be

"I'll go out and I esfor you. Kitty; you

When she got up 'Lia'belli found that
i'iw was very weak. She .could luiiiMy

'Liz beth forgot her huiiKCr and stood
looking at him.
Well, llttlo ono, what do you think of
me? I wouldn't take n prize, would I?"
'Liz'beth started; there wus unmet '-ling
about that voice. What wus it? "Your
mouth, your hair, your eyes I wonder if
that is what makes 1110 love her so?'"
"Sir?" said 'Liz'beth, looking up nyiin.
"I didn't speak. You were talking to
yourself. What aiU you?"
Flense, sir, I don tltnow. I felt queer
when I went to sleep, and I slept for two
days, and I hain't had notliin' to eat. '
Nothing to eat for two daya! Well,
haven't had anything to cat for a
week. "
Liz'beth looked at him. "Nothhi' to
eat for a week I Why, lie must I.' awful
hungry, " sho thought.
bhe looked at tl.o bright new nickel.
Sho turned it over in her dirty little nil-
gel's, ihen sho looked at the man again.
Ho had not taken his eyes oil her.
Poor man, ho does look awful huu-
gry," she said to henelf. And then, with
a sudden impulse, sho held out her pre
cious money.
"A week's lota worso'n two days. I
can stan' it a littlo longer, I guess, but I'd
like n cent to get some milk for Bijou,
a you can have tho rest. "
Tho stranger started. His dull eves
opened wide and something glisteuen in
them.
"Why, you poor litttlo beggar," ho
said brokenly, and then ho slopped.
Hero was a lesson in giving which many
self righteous ones might copy to advan
tage. "Did you think I didn't uat bo
cause I hadn't monoy, baby?"
J ho chiiu looked at him in wonder.
Sho knew of no otlier reason why people
didn't eat, nntt her oyes widened still
moro when tho strange man put his hand
in his pocket and drew out a big handful
of Bilver.
"There," said he, "take this and buy
a barrel of milk if you liko. I'll take a
drink of milk myself. It will be better
than what I've been taking for tho past
10 days. '
'Liz'beth got her nulk and a pie. She
was rich now. She hurried back to the
cellar. Bijou had ceased crying and lay
on the bit of old blanket in tho corner
quite still.
" Como hero, Kitty, and get your milk, "
called 'Liz'beth. But the kitten was dead.
No amount Of coaxing would make it
stir, and the little girl was heartbroken.
Sho forgot her pio and sat looking drear
ily out of tho window tlirough her tears.
Tho feet went by as usual. Suddenly
camo a quick step, a flash of patent
leather ; some ouo peered down through
the grating, nud a moment later tho man
who had given her tho money was besido
her. The next moment sho was in his
arms and was being carried swiftly up
stairs, and thcusho was in a carriage riding
away, "uz uetn uiu not strugglo nor
scream. Why should sho ? Tho stranger
meant her no harm, elso ho would not
hold her so close and kiss her so wildly,
saying over and over :
"Thank liod! Thank Uodl"
Tho carriage ilew along the street, and
before 'Liz'beth could recover her wits
had stoppHl in frontof a beautiful house.
How tlie gentleman hurried up thestep.4,
