Josiah Crise died twenty years ago.
Then Cora Crise. the grand-daughter,
a lass early in her ’teens, eagerly
‘‘steppec into the breach’ to care for
the striciened grandmother. What
has been ucr filial devotion, what have
been her «ares, her sacrifices, in these
twenty ycars, heaven only knows.
She does not speak of her martyr-
heroine lite, because she does not re-
alize her sacrifices as she attends
upon every move, every wish and
whim of her aged and helples ancestor.
How irrevocable is the flight of time!
How pathetically beautiful if Cora
could go back to finish her girlhood
life:
Mother Crise is poor, very poor in
this world’s staples. But she has never
known want. The neighboring farmers
bring in everything needed’ to keep
Cora’s sanitorium running at its high-
est efficiency. They do not call this
charity either. It has become a habit
with the farmers, and if mother Cries
should die, as some day she might,
the farmers would insist on ‘‘keeping’’
Cora, which, of course, they conldn’t,
for Cora is self-supporting. She has
thoroughly mastered the deessmaker’s
trade, between her household duties,
by a correspondence course and by
actual work with her needle. Her di-
