So a much delighted little girl car ried home Mrs. Harris' gray kitten cud dled up close in her arms, and before Nlie reached home she had named the kitten Hilly Cray. After a few days Hilly Cray was perfectly contented In hi new home, for Bessie gave him the best of care.

Around his neck he wore a bright red ribbon on which were two tiny brass bells. "Bed rib bon Is most becouiing to his compl -x-loii. I think," Bessie said. "And don't those two little bells look cunning right under h' imv little chin?" Mrs. Harris thought they did. Billy soon learned to love Bessie, and followed her about the house and out-of-doors. They both enjoyed play ing in the garden. One day when Bessie was digging 111 the dirt with her own small slmvel she found a small ear I lie n doll. The doll bad lost both arms, and .was discolored with dirt, hut Hessle and Billy were much Inter ested in it. Billy poked It around with his paw, uud after a Utile took It In his mouth uud walked oiT with It. H.-ssle thought that wus a very cute thing to do. Bessie dressed the doll 111 a piece of soft biuwn cloth and tied a red ribbon around lis waist, and ulwuys spoke of it us Billy Crsy's doll. Indeed. Hilly Cray seeiued to enjoy that doll very much; he played with It a good deal, and would curry It In his mouth us dog carry things. Yes, Hilly (Jruy wus un unusually clever kitten, us Mrs. Harris hud suit). About the 1st of November, an In vitation came. Just us It always hud Collie ever line-?

Hut what klioulj be duuo THANKSGIVING with Hilly Cmy while the family Wire away? It would never do to leave her alone two nights, nml It seemed espe cially cruel to leave him nt Thanks giving, for If Hilly did:i't want a good Thanksgiving dinner, who did? ' You might leave him with Mrs. Harris," nianima suggested. "I'm n f in WI that Mould leach him to run away." Hessle said sh-wly; "and pel Imps Mrs. Harris is going nway too." "John will take care of the fires while we lire away, and he can feed Hilly If we leave him at home." was another suggestion from mamma. "Why, mamma. Unit Would be dread ful; how lonesome he would lie! Can't we take him wllh us, mamma? It will Just spoil my Thanksgiving If he has to stay at home alone." It was Dually settled that Hilly Cray should pi to grandma's for Thanksgiv ing, and then there was another mat ter to decide: should he pi In a hag or a basket, or sit on Hie seat with Hessle "Just like folks?" liraudiuu lived out III (he country six mile from Bessie's home. When Hessle and her papa and innmnia vis lied her they usually went In the .stage, which passed her house every day. Would Hilly Cray, never having taken a curriap' ride la-fore, behave properly If they attempted lo carry him six tulles In a stap- If he were not put In a bait or basket ? "It will frighten Iiltn. ond he can't enjoy his ride a bit If we tie him up In something, nnd I'm sure h-.-'U He In my lap ami be ns good as nnylhlng," Bessie said. And papu said, "I wouldn't be sur prised if he would: he Is so tame, and he thinks so much of Hessle she cau do anything with him." At ten o'clock tin- morning before Thanksgiving Bess!-.- sat on the front Tons Gusto Aj3rif fht Ply Uuhr steps; she was waiting for the stage. Hilly Cray sat by her side; his coal shone like silk, and he wore h bright new ribbon ami two 111 tie brass bells. His fur was very thick and soft, and partly coincided the ribbon, so there seemed 111 lie danger of his being caiiglit b the ribbon when he was playing out-or-doois. The only objec tion to the bells was that they made so much mils.-' they warned the rats iul mice of Billy's approach, ami he ..ad never been known lo catcli on.-. When the stage came In sight Bes sie's heart beat very fast. She thought Billy Cray would behave properly; but If he should be f lighten. -d uud Jump out and run off no one could tell where, what should she do? It was a very pleasant day, but there was no snow, and the stage intule n good deul of noise as It rallied over the froxeu ground. "Hello, little girl! nil ready for Thanksgiving with grandma?" wus the slage-tlrlver's cheery greeting. He uud Bestde were very good friends, for she often rode to grandma's with tiliu. "What! a kitty to go this time? Well, I never hud a cat passenger before," and the uiau siulled doiihtrully at Hilly Cray. Hess'e was too excited lo speak; she only smiled.

Ind.-id, many of the peo ple wliii saw Hilly Cray looked sur prised. One little hoy suld to another little boy who stood near him. "lld you ever see a nit ride In the stage before?" nnd the other boy answered emphatically, "Xo, I never did." When they went through the covered bridge, Hilly Cray wiggled about un easily, and seemed somewhat fright ened: but the bridge was a short one, and Ills fright was soon over. After a little he curled down and went to sleep. Cran.liua was much surprised that day to tint) she hud four guests Instead of three to entertain, but she gave the unexpected one a hearty welcome. At night she made a nice bed for Hilly In the back chamber, where Hessle put him. but he objected to this; he did not want to be sepuruted from hi mistress when he was In a strangf place, nml he mewed and scratched at Hi,- door 1 1 1 1 1 it grandma said he might sleep on Bessie's bed, where he kept ipilct all night.

' ' WOMAN'S HEALM. .BRIGHT WOMHN A3 INVENTORS. Sin.. of Tlielr lrer llcvicl Arc Oilier Hisfl Dumpptlp. Just before Lord Huberts loft for South Africa It will bo remembered thin l.e received a curious present In the shnpo of a bullet proof shield of uluminuiii, Thin was sent to him by Its Inventor, a woman. She who patented this very much the reverse of domestic imple ment Is Miss Helen S. Murphy, one of mil- few women Inventors. Her in vention Is so fur a success that It at tracted the attention of a foreign gov ernment, who has lately been making Inquiries as to the supply oi! n large quantity of these soldiers' chest pro tectors for their onilro nrmy. As might bo expected, the larger number of patents taken out by women are for domestic Inventions of one kind or another. Some, however, like Miss Murphy, have turned their littention to very different subjects. A Mxs. Westhnm has recently pnt pnted a new Ulud of solder for use by aietal workers. A woman from Black pool hns devised a novel tent, which Is said to he very light, ond easily folded nnd carried. Metal working Is not the sort of oc ?upatloti one would Imagine coiigenlnl to women. Mrs. Florence Harrison has shown that the fair sex can excel in such n branch of Industry by pat enting a process for desulphurizing certain ores. Mrs. Ames I.yude Is nnothtr' well known Instance of a woman Iron worker. At her extensive works ut l'hurnhani, In Norfolk, were innde the beautiful drive gates uf Siindrlnghani, ind the King hns for yenrs taken the keenest Interest In her work. Mrs. ines Lynde not only superintends the work which she hns stnrtod, but pre pares all the designs herself. She has invented many new and unique tie dgns ns well as several methods for welding together the sepurate portions ivbich go to form the elaborate pieces if work turned out nt her works. So 'ar hns the fume of this novel village industry extended that Its head re ceived mi order for the royul pavilion It the Pnris Exhibition ot HMXi. I.ndy Coiehrook Is another woman 'nventor. She Is well known ns n sculptor, and lias turned her attention to a branch of work hitherto almost ?xcluslvely confined to men that of ?urpenterlug. She holds every week a :arge class of women nml girls from :h district around her home nt Ah !ngton, and tenches them needlework ind carpentering- The latest achieve iient Is n pillar box on a new plan, which is lu use In the hall at Ablug Ion. Doctors nowadays are all agreed that the ordlnury cradle with rockers Is very bud for children. Tile rocking itid jolting quiet a crying bnhy merely jy stupefying it, and the result Is In iury to the child's health. A woman living nt Twickenham has ?et herself to work to remedy this, and U the patent office may be found a description. of her new baby car hum mock. This Is a combination between i cradle nnd a perambulator, which rakes up very little room, obviates all Inning and Jolting, and at the suiue -.line is so innde that a child lying on it s completely protected from cold ulr ind draughts. Another domestic device which cer mliily tills a long-felt want, and for which wo lire indebted to a womun, Is ;nlled the bnby-Jumper. Judging by :he drawings of this device, the Mrs. Wilson, who patented It, bus conferred jn enormous boon on mothers who 'amiot offord nurses. The Invention is a sort of frame lu which the child nn be comfortably placed, either slt '.Ing or standing, nnd fixed beyond each of hurm with straps. It Is sus oended to the celling by a rope nnd spiral wire spring, which when weight 'h thrown upon It dances the baby au tomatically. It was a woman who Invented the taik puller, which is now so widely used in this country. The lack-puller n simply a lever-like urrangeinent by means of which the tacks holding n .'arpet to t lie floor cau be easily and ipeedily pulled out. London Answers. New Notluus In f'olorlnjc.
