Her mother and sister bad come to look upon oer as tbe mainstay of the little family, because sbe manlfed .to eke oat about 12 a week regularly addressing envelopes. Marie bad Mined a few dollars in tbe two years lace tbeir father bad died, but tbe Ham sad for the foolish little cuplds and flerce-lookins fairies which sbe pointed on cardboard didn't bold out loaf after Christmas and Easter. To be sore, they had one roomer who paid HA ??>' hn+ ii'ti unit* a trick for three grown women to sustain life, to say nothing of appearances, on an average Income of about $200 a year. Flo tried to make a joke of It. but when mamma really wished to so oat and each of the girls was obliged to contribute a garment, a pair of shoes or a hat to make Mrs. Yoakum'a toilet complete. It was not easy to keep up the laugh with which the bandsone VI Flo managed to greet each of their successive hardships. They lived in t dlagy two-story house that would hare been as squalid within as withtout If It had not been for the scrupulous Cleanliness and Incesssnt industry of the two girls. They kept everything as clean as a new pin, but despite their gentle ways and everlasting care, the old tapestry on the parlor floor waa I . mapped and diagrammed into threadft bare Islands, canals and estuaries. The A . old hair-cloth furniture, besides being w a decade oat of date, -was fuU of holes, f rickety and scarred. Never might K mother and daughter, nor yet the two fi sisters, go oat together. They hadn't 9 enough clothes to go around. Company I wis out of the question?that Is, male M company, for, though both Flo and Marie were very pretty, pride reV strained them from disclosing the EE scantiness of their possessions even to the grocer's clerk, who, having fallen A. desperately In love with Marie, sought A to improve her acquaintance by callIB tof* H . 8he was out Flo told him, and thereflgy after poor Marie was debarred from Bn an occasional visit to the store in which D the ardent clerk worked, languishing, n When Mr. Yoakum died he left nothif tog but his Insurance policy for 15000. I It would have been a fortune for bis 1 economical wife and daughters, but the W Insurance company in which the policy was written became involved about the H time the Yoakum claim was presented, H and the Yoaknms knew no more than Ik that a receiver or something of that sort had been appointed, and that there R wasn't much chance of their getting anything out of the policy. For a few V months they had cheered one snother K with vague hopes that there must be a settlement, but to all their letters, cornSi plaints and urgings not a word of m tangibly encouragement came from the n receiver. Then they sold their piano. ? moved into a cheaper house and began 8 to look for position*. Mrs. Yoakum crimped tod saved in tbe kitchen, tbe girls mended, darned, patched, washed, Ironed. scrubbed and slaved to keep oat of debt When tbe roomer. an elderly bookkeeper, usually very punctual, was a day late with his weekly rent, the household menage was immediately and unavoidably contracted. One morning, having discovered that the last milk ticket was gone and that there wasn't a cent of money in the boose, Flo encountered the milkman at the back door and told him, with a gweet smile, that they didn't want any an!lk. This was not a falsehood, since * what they really wanted was cream, bat It didn't help to make the black coffee and dry toast any more palatable. While Mrs. Toakum and her two i daughters were engaged in a kind of I hysterical effort to make light of this, the most frugal meal they bad yet partaken of, there was a load knock at the front door. Flo dropped her ragged napkin and ran to the window. She should hare gone to the door direct, hot it was too late for the postman, and?well, pro ad folks In sach cases as hers hare to be diplomatic about admitting visitors. There was a carriage at the corb! She flashed back to the dining kitchen room and hastily ap* prised her mother and sister, who flew ISl VUOJ w uit mui*ikv uvtuwiu IU uia&t* ready for a distinguished caller. Flo pot her hack hair to rights, and with a flatter at her heart, opened the door. "Does the widow of tbe late Franklin Took am live here?** asked a very stately, and prosperous looking gentleman, raising his silk hat. "Yes, sir," gasped Flo, hopes that she dare not encourage rising high within her breast, "did yon wish to see her. oh-r I "Yet, miss," He Mid. entering. I am representing the Janus Life Insurance Company, In which, 1 believe, yonr? was he your father, miss? Yes? 80 1 gnesKd. Well, he held a policy for 19000 In the Janus and I've called to P?y?" "Hadn't I better call mamma?" asked Flo, almost choked with Joy. "I think IUNi at none, mu, iuu, juu itiqicu to mo her. didn't yon?" "Yet. I must see her." he said, watching the girl let up the shades a little aad glancing round at the respectable wretchedness of the poor room. Flo mounted the stairs In about four Jumps and almost fell upon her mother With the'glad news. "Com? to settle the insurance; mother." she rattled. Let's fix yoa up?bring my waist. Ma. gte?tfrare, that looks all right; you'd / I better put on your slippers, and here, Marie's gray skirt looks all right. Looks like he had the money right with him?give me your old tortoise shell comb? he has a diamond ring and a silk ha:?now, you button the slipper* and I'll brush her hair!" And talking breathlessly while she arrayc-d the speechless mother in the combined finery of the whole family, poor Flo and the less demonstrative Marie were already imagining the comforts they would have for poor mammn. the "start" they would get in business and the foundations for fortunes they would lay upon the |S000 which was. they felt sure, already within their zrasn. If they could not keep away from tbo J stair rail while their mother was in | the parlor, if they listened silently trying to catch a word here and there, it must not be charged that they were ill bred. They had tasted neither butter, milk nor meat that day. and how tired they were of the struggle to maintain body and spirit without tears and without remonstrance. At lost they beard the voices come nearer and they stepped behind the balustrade. "I'm afraid that will bo About all for awhile," the man was saying. "But the next payment will be smaller at all events. Sorry to trouble you. Mrs. Yoakum, but all tbis red tape must be gone through. Good day." The door was hardly closed when Flo and Marie pounced upon their mother with, "Did be pay?" and "How mucbl8 it?" Their mother ran Into the parlor, and. sitting upon the squeaky sofa, smiling mysteriously, said: "Guess." "Four thousand?" "No." "One thousand?" ^No," and Mm. Yoakum hold cut her open band. There were sixty-five cents In It "That's our share of the 'available assets,'" she explained. Flo was laughing lond and long. "Gimme a quarter of it. ma. honey," she cried at last. "I'll get half a pound of butter and some cream!" And their breakfast was merry after all.?Chicago Record-Herald. Th? G?ra? of Utefal Invention*. Once In London I was astonished to see a man, after writing something with a lead-pencil, search through his pockets for a piece of India rubber with which to erase an error. He bad lost It and could only smudge the paper by marking out what he bad written. 1 said to him: "Why don't you aftach the rubber to the pencil? Then you couldn't lose Jt.'* He jumped ni my suggestion, took out a patent for the rubber attachment to pencils and made money.. When Rowland Hill, the great English postal reformer, introduced penny postage into England he found It necessary to employ many girls to clip off the stamps from great sheets. 1 took a sheet of paper to him and showed him bow easy It would be by perforation to tear off the stamps as needed. He adopted my idea; and now a single machine does the whole work. I noticed one day in England a lot of "flunkeys" rushing up to the carriages of titled ladles and busying themselves adjusting steps, which were separate from the carriage and bad been taken along with great inconvenience. I said to myself, why not have the steps attached? and I spoke about the Idea to others. It was taken up and carried out. Now every carriage has steps attached as a part of the structure. In 1850 I was with James McHenry in Liverpool, and in trying to pour some Ink from a bottle into the inkwell the bottle was upset and tbe ink spilled all over tbe desk. Tbis was because too much Ink came from tbe moutb. "Give tbe bottle a nose like a milk pitcher,'" I said; "then you can pour tbe ink into tbe well easily." Holden, of Liverpool, took up the idea and patented it and made a fortune out of it.?From George Francis Train's Autobiography. A Jewel of m Servant.
