Which gi? >ou Wt of a heartache
At the setting of the sua.
The tender word forgotten,
. The letter you did not write,
The flower you might have sent, dear.
Are your haunting ghosts to-nisht <
The stone you might have lifted
^ Out of a brother's way,
The bit of heartsome counsel
. You were hurried too much to say
The loving touch of the hand, dear.
The gentle and winsome tone
That you had no time nor thought for,
. > With troubles enough of your own.
These little acts of kindness
jL So easily out of mind,
Ther?e chances to be angels
j Which even mortals find?
\ They come in night and silence,
- .. Each chill, reproachful wraith,
When hope is faint and flagging,
And a blight lias dropped on faith.
For life is all too short, dear,
And sorrow is all too great.
To suffer our slow compassion
That tarries until too late.
And it's not the thing you do, dear,
It's the thing you leave undone,
# Which gives you the bitter heartache
At tlio setting of the sun.

THE BEST ROAD.
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, <

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."
