BY HELEN FORREST GRAVES. It Awrl U / *! f 1_ _ U * i ' * -- ucir, vmriDi'i, sain out Mrs. Grigg, "I declare, I had nearly lorgotten little Pen. Pen came so long after the others, and she's such a mite of a thing, tha^f'm always forgetting her. But' "he?-JhaofL^dc epdmv a Into hefc' fifcfcket?"here s a ten (ToTTarT" gold piece. Tell her to buy something with it to remember old Cousin Grigg by." '".tt's very good of you, Cousin Grigg," BffSjfclnribcl Wilton. ^Y-'ry year, on her birthday, old Mrs. Grigg visited her relations and made, j each one of thcui a present. "I've got. plenty of money, and they ! haven't," said Mrs. Grigg; "and it's a i pleasant excitement tome to pick out the things. A sort of fairy godmother business?ha, ha, ha! And it docs me frond i to see how pleased Clara and the chil- : dreu arc."' So Mrs. Grigg rolled away in her comfortable old-fashioned coupe with the fat coachman and the still fatter horses, and Claribcl stood ecstatic among the parcels, viewing their magnificence. "A black silk for minima!'' she cried. I "Oh, how did Cousin Grigg kno?v that ; f the old one was so shabby? And books ^ for Kate, the faniilj book-worm; and a r a ToFTo ni, had skates for Will, and the sweetest muff and boa for Edith, . and a rosewood writing-desk for me! j But how I wish she had given me the ' money iustead 1 I did so want a new j white satin bodice for my evening dress i for Fautiy Jlsley's party! The old one is I too shabby for anything, and ten dollars ! would have bought all the material, and I could have made it myself." She looked longingly at the gold- j piece in the palm of her hand. "If I'en wasn't so little," she said, "I ' could make an exchange and give her the writiug-desk instead. But Ten is only eight years old, and not out of Number Three writing-bocks yet. What could she do with a rosewood desk? Why didn't! Cousin Grigg think to give her a doll or ! a tea-set, or some regulation children's i toy? Or why can't 1 do it?" Claribcl exclaimed, with a sudden long breath. "There's u solution for ;he riddle! Pen shall have a tifty-ceut doll! I can dress Claribcl Wilton carried the pro gramme. She van to the nearest toy stor<ymd j . bought a limp, big-eyed doll, with a 1 cataract of yellow jute down to her buck, < 1 t___ - f * ft III! I?v Hint ill CAa'UUlUg ll?bVU, Illltll- ; aged to get it dressed before Pen, a ; djraulyd, plump little maid of eight, I rot ting home from school, it Cousin Grigg's present? Oli, how nice!" cried the child. "But j Cousin Grigg always gives me a big, t jointed doll, with eyes that will open and shut, and red silk stockings, and i hoots buttoned with little gilt buttons. ; Js Cousin Grigg poor this vear, mam- j iUH?" "Hush, child i" said C'laribel, sharply. "Never look a gift horse in the mouth!".'-'!' ' JV ' "But I don't see any horse," said Pen, | casting a half-terrified glance over her ] shoulder. "Mamma, what does Bel mean by horses' mouths?'' "Why do you talk slang to the child, Clnribel?" said Mrs. Wilton, who was 1 rutting of! the breadths of her substantial ! silk gown. "She menus, Penelope, that ' you should he .satisfied with whatever Mrs. (Bigg is kind enough to give you." "But the eyes aren't a match," complained Pen. "And there's a hole in one shoulder, where the sawdust, is coming out; and just look .It the greasy mark in the flounce of the tea-gown! It isn't a 1>it like the dolls that Cousin Grigg al wnys gives mc ! I shall he awful shamed to introduce this doll to Frederic* and Emily and rgv other dollies!" CI a r il and fittii^|thc glistening wHftc-satin folns with their trimming of white blonde, caught down with Roman pearls. "Harold Carlton will be there," she exultantly thought, "ami I always do look well in white." Rut the afternoon before the eventful evening she went out in the, rain to buy a pair of long v. risted kid g'oves, and . t'HQght cold, and just when the oorcMnioninls of the toilette ought, to have com ^menecd, she was lying in hid wi'.h a mustard plaster on hgr cheat and a prodigious pitcher of flax-seed tea on the table beside Iter, making her piteous cunplrints in a whisper, because she was too unnr.se to speak. Lutfe to her side. 41 Such a bouquet, Claribcl!" she cried. 4,With Mr. Carlton's card stuck in among the roses! Do only smell of it! Oh, I forgot, you can't smell, because of the influenza in your nose! Norah says Mr. Carlton is in love with you, Clary! Is he?" Claribel turned her face away with a groan. Alicia Vinton would havo the field all to herself to-night, and what miorhf not Ho HnnO in c 11 H u nrnlrlon nn. portunity as this? "And here conies Cousia Grigg," added tlic child. "Who ever heard of Cousin Grigg coming out at night before? To sec you, Clary ?" "Don't let her come in!" whispered Claribcl. "I do look such a tiguro with my nose swelled up and my eyes running!" But the caution camo too late. Cousin Grigg's black satin dress was already rustling on the threshold, and in she trudged. "I thought I'd like to see you in your ball dress, Claribcl," said the kind old lady. "I've got some young thoughts and fancies about me ye t, if I am seventy odd years old, aud I like to see a pretty girl dressed up, especially if she is my | own tlesh and blood. And I've brought you a little diamond hair ornament?a fleur-de-lis set on a long gold stem?that I wore to my first ball, more than half a century ago! Never mind, Claribel? your mother told me how unlucky you were, but the diamond fleur-de-lis will i do just as well for the next merrymaking, eh?" "Oh, Cousin Grigg, how good you arc!" murmured Claribel, as the old lady placed a kiss on her forehead and the stood by with a hot water bottle in her I hands. "And what did you buy with my present?" "I didn't buy anything," said Pen, the most truthful of small witnesses. "1 i gave it to the washerwoman's little girl. ii. mn mp vci) iv, you kuow, nuer uie one bad-match eye fell out, that I couldn't bear to look at it." 44Ugly?" cried Mrs. Grigg. "Oh, very!" nodded Pen. "Please, I don't want to hurt your feelings, but mamma says we must always speak the truth. It was ugly!" "And you gave it to the washerwoman's littlo girl?" slowly repeated Mrs. Grigg. "Why, yes," acknowledged Pen. "She hasn't gol so many of 'em as I have, you know." Mrs. Grigg stared. "So many what, child?" "Dolis, to be sure," said Pen. _ .. "It wasn't a doll," said Mrs. Grigg. "It was a ten dollar gold piece." "No, it wasn't!" declared Pen, positively. "I guess I ought to know, because I got it." "Child " began Mrs. Grigg. But just then a fevered hand fell on Mrs. Grigg's arm, and Claribel's eyes,full of repentaut tears, were lifted to her face. "Send Peu nwav," she whispered, "and I will tell you all about it. I am to blame?I only?anil I do think this druadfui influenza is a judgment on me for my folly and wickedness!" So Mrs. Grigg sent Peu down staifs to get a handkerchief out of the pocket of her sealskin cloak, and Caribcl sobbed j out lier confession. "I have been a thief," s'no said?"a i wicked, mean conspirator! I've deceived j sweet little Pen aud acted a contemptible lie, and I almost wish 1 could die! i So Minro1" . j (jmuwetfoaWwong, but we're all liable to error, ami tbis, luckily, isn't a thing that can't he undone. Don't cry, my child, but remember for the future that the straight road is always the best one. "Here, Pen," as the little girl caino panting back, "is the ten-dollar piece. l>uy yourself as nice a doll as there is in the stores. The other thing was all a mistake." "Oh, Cousiu rtrigg, how much I thank you!" gasped Pen, with eyes nearly as big as the glittering coin which Mrs. Origg laid in her hand. "Oh, what a doll this will buy! And sister, look here!" running up to the bedside, "here's a letter that Norah says dropped out of the bouquet on the hall floor, and she only just picked it tip. Shall I read it aloud to you, sister?" Should she read it aloud? Never! Clarihel hid the letter away under tho fmgrant bunch of stnilax and roses until everybo ly was gone, and then read it, with secret, thrills of happiness*?the letter that told her, what she had hardly dared to hope for, the story of Harold Carlton's love! "Ami everything has happened for the best," she murmured to herself, forgetful of the beating headache, the pangs of the poor, sore throat; "and I have got liarold's love and Cousin Origg's diamond fleur-de-lis, and I've regaiucd my own self res pec: at last, for all I haven't dei served a single one of them. But I'll al; ways remember Cousin (Jrigg's word*, 'The straight road is the i?c>t road,' and , this false step shall most assuredly be my j last." j While in. the adjoining room little j^Mielone-h|^gat ash-no with the teapillow, and 1 bowed down oororft hef, nsjTwtpjvi j brethren's sheaves of wheat bowed do^rn before his in the Scripture story she ljud rend only last Sunday afternoon &itur1 il'ii/ Night, i Paganinni's favorite violin?a GuarncritiH del Gesu of 1713?is preserved under a glass case in the Municipal Palace of Genoa, his birthplace.
