So Hetty Granger's dead," ob
served Priscilla Plpp, solemnly, lay
lng asldo her bonnet and sinking com
fortably Into a rocker. "God rest her
soul," she said, devoutly.
"And her tongue," added S.r.h
Potts, tartly.
"Well I Bupose it will rest, now
she's gone," admitted Priscilla. Then
she added: "I 'low it's earned a rent,
anyway."
"It wa'n't exactly In need of exer
cise," observed Sarah dryly.
"It seems strange to think of Het
ty gone that we won't se her coml.i'
out of the back way any more with a
plato to borrow butter on," Priscilla
continued. "I remember her coiuin'
over one afternoon when she had com
pany to ten, unexpected like, with that
old blue plate you remember that old
blue chlny one her greut-grandmolher
handed down no, you don't either,
because you ain't ever been inside of
their house as I know of but anyway
I let her have a pieco off my last print
of butter an' me not gettin' any more
till Saturday, which was Dave Jenks's
reg'lar time to bring it in, an' Het
ty goln' back home so careful like an'
slippin' where some one throwed out
dishwater, and losin' the butter an'
breakin' th' chlny plate all to pieces
an' her lookln' all around to sec If
any ono was lookln' an' then pickin'
up the butter and wipin' it off on
her apron. But the plate was too fur
gone for savin' although I believe
t,he did afterward gather up the pleres
nnd glue 'em together. Poor Hetty!
It seems strange to think of Hetty
gone In Paradise."
"It does seem strange." P.irah ad
mitted. "WhatT" said Priscilla. ab.ently.
"To think of her in Parndlse,"
Sarah satd. "I don't s-poso she'll
make any great stir in Paradise?" she
continued, In a half inquiry.
"Well, mebbe not as much as she
will after she get3 her bearln's," Pris
cilla agreed with qualification. "Hat
ty's bound to be busy, in the flesh or
In the sperrit. Her's ain't no sperrlt
to sit by with folded hands and watch
things takln' place. It's my belief
she'll be active even in the sperr't.
She was a powerful cleaner, Hlty
was. I don't know of any one in
the neighborhood that had rug6 an'
curtains out on the line oftener 'n
Hetty did."
"An' certainly no one had her
tongue out oftener," observed Sarah
litingly.
"We don't want to be too hard on
them as Is departed, Sarah," Priscilla
said, with mild rebuke.
"Truth don't hurt nobody, livin' or
dead," Sarah declared, cplgrammatl
cally. "Well, It ain't so apt to hurt th'
dead as It Is th' llvn'," Priscilla
ngreed.
"An' it ain't told about th' dead as
often as it Is th livin', either," Sarah
retort e.
"Sarah," she began, "you won't
mind if I talk to you like a sister o'
yourn, will you?"
"If you talk like a good many sis
ters do, mebbe you better not," an
swered Sarah, with a frown and a
drawing down of the corners of her
mouth.
"I wouldn't feel hard toward her,
now she's dead," Priscilla volunteered,
feeling her way along cautiously. "I
know sho she did you a lot o' wrong,
but mebbe she liked him better'n you
did, an' It was a'l years an' yeurs ago,
an' she's dead an' he dead, an' "
A tear trickled down Sarah's cheek.
"Mebbo she did," she admitted; "she
talked faster'n I did, anyway." She
brushed the tear away Impatiently
and left a shiny streak on her face.
"That ain't neither here nor there,"
Priscilla declared.
"Well, there was a good deal of it
here when she was," observed Sarah,
"an' thero's apt to be a good deal of
It there if sperrlts talk, an' I fancy
they do when they get rested -up,
anyway," she finished sharply.
Priscilla rocked again.
"You've got nice things, Sarah." she
said, looking about her through the
big room. "I remember when you an'
me was girls together how we uccd
to build dollhouses an' wonder about
nil the nice things we'd have when
we growed up an' got married"- me
last word came with an effort.
"An' then when we got along about
the marryln' age. who should co.ae
along but Peter Pipp, with nothin' but
poverty an' prospects, an' before 1
knew It we were married, an' while
we ain't had no money to brag of,
we've always been comfortable, an'
Plpp's made a good husband, aside
from his mother's iuterferin' borne
times. An' afterwards 1 remember
how you an' well, you fell in love
an' someway it got broke off an' he
married Hetty, an' you lived with your
father on th' old place fo; so raauy
years, an' then he died an' left you
comfortable for the rest of your dayj."
"I never knew what broke It off,
8arah," Priscilla said, suggestively.
"I'm goln to give 'em to th" guild
when 1 get 'em all hemstitched."
Sarah volunteered this much In tlie
way of Information.
Priscilla went back to rocking,
"Hetty's left a girl, too," she went
on, as though the destiny of the nap
kins did not Impress her. "They lay
she looks more like him every day. It's
too bad, ain't It ust the time she
needs a parent's care the moat, an'
both of 'em gone an' nothin' left In th'
way of money or property. I wonder
what sha'U &.'' ventured.
"Whnt sho can, mebbo like th' rest I
of lis," Sarah suggested harshly.
"They say- she nln't sot no rela
tives" Priscilla added.
"Which ain't always an unmixed
affliction," retorted Sarnh.
"If it wa'n't tor Minnie an' Mnmlo
an' Willie an' .llmmlc an' little Peter
I'd take her myself," Priscilla contin
ued, passing Sarah's tart observation
unnoticed. "It would bo a mercy to
take her In an' give her a homo. Still,
I s'pose th' Lord'll provide a way for
her, but blessed if I enn sec it now."
Sarah folded the napkins up nnd
put them on the chair beside her.
"I should think you'd get lonesome
In this big house with not a soul
around but a boy doln chores an' go
ln' to school," Priscilla said.
"It ain't always them that's around
you that keeps you from boln' lone
some," Sarah remarked, looking hard
at something out of the window that
seemed to have a mist about It.
"No, I s'pose not." Priscilla said
softly.
There were a few minutes of rock
ing and looking out of the window.
"Only fourteen years old," Sr.rah
mused, half to herself.
"Whnt did yoi say Snrah?" Priscilla
asked.
"Nothin I was Just thinking," re
turned Sarah.
"You know," Priscilla said, after a
pause, "if anything was to happen
that my Minnie was to be left alone
I wonder if I could send down a pray
er that would go Into somebody's
heart and not let 'em rest until they
went an' found her an' took her in an'
gave her a good home like your'u,
for example," she aaid.
"I don't know," Sarah returned,
slowly. "A good many prayers are
sent on wild goose chases like some
I've had to do with. I used to pray,
night after night, but 1 guess they
went up when everybody was out,"
she added somewhat bitterly.
"You mustn't, Sarah, you mustn't,"
;rlcd Priscilla, "it's n blasphemy."
"What prayer?" Sarah lnqullcd.
"No, talkin' like that," said Prn.cU
la. "Well, ain't 1 goin' t give th' nap
kins to th' guild?" Sarah retorted.
"It ain't napkins th' Lord wants,"
suggested Priscilla.
"What is It, then?' 'inquired Sarah.
"It's hearts good, lovin', tender hu
man hearts that's what It 13."
'"Well, mine was good an' lovin' an'
tender once," Sarau bald, slowly. "Uut
It's old an' hard an' dry now like an
old cheese rinnd."
"Mebie He's tryin' to make It lov
in" an' tender again an' give you some
thin' to put into it that'll take It b.u.k
to where it used t be," Priscilla sug
gested. "How?" Sarah asked.
"Oh, I don't know," Priscilla re
sponded. "He works in a mysterious
way that's what the poet says."
"You mean for me to take her
that girl of Hetty's?" demanded Sarah,
fiercely.
'"No; I mean for you to take her
that girl of Robin's," Priscilla answer
ed her.
"I I forgot," aarah responded, less
bitterly.
"Her name Is Hobln, same as his,"
Priscilla informed her. "It's the kind
of a name you can give to a girl or a
boy either th' boys after Robin Hood
an' th' girls after Robin Redbreast,
mebbe."
"She told him lies," Sarah cried,
her bitterness returning. "She told
him lies and he" She rested her
chin on her hands and her elbows
on her knees and looked hard out of
the window, where everything was
misty.
"I know," said Priscilla soothingly.
"Uut she is dead an' he Is dead .n
you an' me are here."
"I never knew about her fallln'
down with th' butter," Sarah said.
Then she added: "Was It true that
they got pretty poor before she died?"
"I guess they were In bad straits,"
Priscilla said. "They say little Robin
ain't hardly got clothes enough to
keep soul an' body together."
"Her mother should a talked leBn
an' Eewed more, Sarah ventured,
"Hetty Granger wa'n't idle," Pris
cilla objected. "Give th' dead her due.
She was always busy, but a woman
can't do much In th' way of earnin'
th' way things go."
"I suppose not," Sarah said. "Does
she look any way like her mother?"
"They say she's th' Image of her
father. She's all alone in th' house
up there, with nobody but Kate
Adams, an' Kate's been havln' such a
time mournin openly for Hetty I'm
afraid she'll have poor little Robin
scared to death before night. Kate's
a good soul but she's a powerful
mourner, so I'm goln up to get Robin
and bring her home for a few days
with me. Jlmrrie an' Willie an' Lit
tle Peter can sleep together in the
three-quarter bed, an' that'll make
room for her with Nellie."
"I don't think I ever saw her," Sarah
mused. "I ain't looked at one of 'em
for fifteen years."
"You better peek out when we're go-
In' by," Prlscilia suggested.
"I'll rattle my parasol stick against
th' fence pickets,"
"I dont' s'pose she'll look at mo
Hetty probably filled her up with stuff
about me."
"Hetty never told her a word," re
sponded Priscilla. "Sho told me so
on her dyln' bed, and th' truth will
out then."
"Which is some better than never,"
said Sarah. "Well, mebbe I'll peek
out Don't scrape th' fence pickets
too hard. They're fresh painted,"
"It'll crowd Jlminle an' Wllllo nnd
little Peter to sleep threo In a three
quarter bed, but it's crowdln' in a
good cause," Priscilla suggested. "It
must be strange to live without
crowdln', Sarah. Wo can't turn around
home without runnln' Into a trunk or u
tble or a chair or a baby."
"If you think sho'd como" Sarnh
hesitated "if you think she would
care to come Priscilla I will let he!
have the front room upstairs for a
night or two."
Priscilla roso from the rocker and
touched Sarah's forehead with bci
lips.
"It's like when we were girls again,"
she said.
"I don't s'poso she could help whnt
her mother did ucfore she was horn,"
admitted Sarah.
"I don't exactly Bee how she
could," admitted Priscilla, cautiously.
Sarah's glance went out of the win
dow and away off up a green slope to
the top of a hill where white shafts
rose.
"Priscilla," sho said, "if you think
she would care to come an' live with
a drled-up old maid"
"Yes," eagerly.
"Well, you can bring her In when
you go by nnd leave her here for a
while, anyway. I'll try to do" right by
her, although I ninn't snyln' by that I
forglvs Hetty Granger. An I don't
know as I ever will unless you como
around again talkin' about glrlB to
gether, nnd silly things like that. I
nln't doln It for Hetty Granger, either,
but for Robin's sake "
"For Robin's snke," Priscilla as
sented. "No, not for Robin's sake, either,
but for the sake of AVillle and .Hinmio
and little Peter, an' to keep 'em from
crowdln' three in a bed," said Sarah,
wiping her eye wtlh n corner of one
of the guild's napkins. "An It'll save
you scrapln on th' fence pickets, too.
They're fresh painted." N. Y. Times.
Wedding Customs.
The custom of throwing a shower of
rice over newly wedded couples comes
to us from India, and originated in
the idea that rice was an emblem of
fecundity. The Hindu bridegroom, at
the close of the marriage ceremony,
thiows three handfuls of rice over
the bride, and she replies by throwing
the same over him. With us the rice
is thrown by outsiders. The "old
shoe" custom is generally supposed to
come from the Hebrews, and is sup
posed to have originally implied that
the parents of the bride gave up all
authority over her. The Germans had
long a custom, which perhaps they
have not wholly given up even now,
of putting the groom's shoo on the
pillow of the bridal bed, and In Anglo
Saxon marriages the father gave a
shoe of the bride to the bridegroom,
who touched her on the head with it
to remind her who was now master.
The wedding ring was used among
the ancient Hebrews primarily with
the idea that the delivery of a ring
conferred power on the recipient, and
thus the wife, wearing her husband's
ring, chared his authority. The riug
in the Roman espousals was a pledge
of loyalty, and the idea that it should
be worn on the third finger of the
left hand because "a nerve connects
this finger with the heart" originated
with the Romans. Orange blossoms
were worn by brides among the Sara
cens because they were held to sym
bolize frultfulness; the very general
use of these Mowers in Europe and
America for bridal adornment Is com
paratively a modern custom. The use
of a bridal veil Is a relic of the far
off time when the husband was not
allowed to see his bride's face till
after marriage.
It is said to be a curious fact that
the wadding cake, that elaborate. In
dispensable at the modern marriago
ceremony. Is the direct descendant of
a cake made of water, flour and salt,
of which, at the Roman high-class
weddings, the married couple and the
witnesses partook at the time of th
signing of the contract.
An African Night.
There is nothing as black as an
African night, and I think that It Is
because the earth, being a deep red,
offers no reflection to the faint star
light such as we wet in other lands.
Instead It swallows up what slight
glow there may be, and gives to the
darkness a dense, velvety quality not
to be found anywhere else. Overhead
the stars glare more brilliantly than
In northern la- les, but they seem
to cast no ligh and the night Is pal
pable, euffoca....g, appalling, and tilled
with a nameless horror which Is quite
Indescribable. Prom "African High

Suffrage or Race Suicide.
Mrs. Catherine Wayle McCullogh,
lawyer and a Justice of the Peace In
Chicago, asserts that women are Justi
fied in refusing to bear children un
til they have equal rights In the
guardianship of their offspring. She
told the girl students in Downer Col
lege that it took the women of Illinois
thirty years to have the laws of that
State changed so that mother and
father have an equal right to their
children, and pointed out that only
by the same kind of hard and unceas
ing effort could women hope to gain
equal suffrage. She expressed her
self as against the militant methods
of the English Suffragettes until it is
seen that other means have failed.
Her plan is publicity and work. She
would flood tho stage with suffragist
plays, the newspapers with "vote for
women" articles, editorials and poems,
the mnlls with postcards calling for
the ballot and public meetings and dis
cussions at all times.

Expiation by Proxy.
A recently appointed woman super

happened in a school where a young
Incorrigible was being punished.
"Have you ever tried kindness?"
inquired she of the teacher. "I did
at first, but I've got beyond that
now," was the reply.
At the close of the lesson the super
visor aaked the boy to call on her on
the following Saturday.
A boy arrived at the hour ap
pointed. The hostesB showed him her
best ptctureB, played him her liveliest
music and set him a delicious lunch

her sermon.
