"Come, mother, make haste!" shouted old Luke Khbee. "I've got to get out to the wood lots bright and early this morning! "Yes, I know, father." The old woman still stared around her. "I can't think what makes the room look so qucct. Oil, I know! Father, you've torn them morning-glory vines away from the window !" Luke rubbed the yellow soap vindictively on his knuckles, as he pumped fresh water into the kitchen sink. "Of course I have!" 6aid he. "Dried up old truck, keepin' out the light and air. What use was theyt" "But there was lota o' flowers and buds on 'em yet, father. And in that sheltered spot, the froet wouldn't have touched 'em for a week to come." "Mornin'-glories don't amount to nothin'!" snarled Kiabee. "Besides, I'm | goin' to hev a load of wood dumped i there to-day. It's a handy place for the wood-pile." "Father!" 'I'm?gain'?to?hev?a?load?o'? wood?dumped?there?to-day! Don't I speak loud enough?" "But, father, you always said you was goln' to build a kitchen out there." "I never said nothin' of the sort!" "I want a kitcheD," pleaded the poor woman. "That's a horse of another color," sneered the old ruan. 1/ 1 _ a ? - -adci wnen we was first married, you pormised me?" 'I dare say I promised a good many foolish things then. There's some promises better broken than kept," philosophically observed Luke. "And this old room's damp, and the walls have settled, and the ceilings has fell?and 1 was calculatin' to have it fixed up and put my bed here, when the new kitchen was built. Italways makes me feel dreadful cheap, when the sewing eociety meet here,to hevour bed a-standin' in the parlor, no matter how handeome the patchwork quilt Is!" Luke wiped his hands over the rollertowel. "Well, you've stood it thirty years," said be, "an' I guess you can stand it a little while longer." "Do you mean, father, that I ain't to | hev the new kitchen arter all?" "That's exactly what I do mean." Mrs. Kisbee said no more,but the slow, bitter tears of old age trickled down her cheeks as she lighted the fire, brought a pail of drinking water from the spring and began to fry the ham and eggs in a little iron skillet. "I must have been awful wicked," thought the poor old woman, "for I've moat made an idol o' that new kitchen, an' thcftight so much abcAit the best roono with no bed in it I An' no-v I'm punished." Her son George came over that afternoon from Fancy's .Mills, where he was foreman in ? great shirt factory. "Mother," paid he, "I've got some thing to tell you. I'm engaged to marry dusy Btopford. Why, mother, what's * l... ??__? t*ri?. ' iuo maner > t? nai are you crying about? I thought you'd be ?o pleased !" "It's just like nil the rest o' the luck I" nobbed |x>or old Mrs. Kisbeo. "Father's oeen an lore aown an my morom'-giory vteaa, an' 1 ain't goin' to bav my new kitchen after all these years, and my only eon has got engaged to one of the Btopfordn, that wasn't never friends with the Kisbeos?" "But, mother," laughingly pleaded George, "these are not the days of Montagues and Capalet feuds. "I don't know what you're talkin' about," said Mrs. Kisbee, who was not a student of Shakespeare, ' 'but I've always despised them 8topforde. An* Susan she's a story writer, I'm told, as goes about with her lingers an Tnky, and don't help none with the housework." "But, mother, she hires a girl to assist her aunt with the money she etfcs. She's the best and sweetest girl in the) world. When may 1 bring her to see jcut" ? "I don't want to see her at all," taid the old woman, querulously. And then she broke down again crying. George went away much perturbed in spirit. He had never seen his mother so heart or oken before. "I don't know what she'll say," thought he, "when she hears that father has made up his mind to sell the old place. It is too bad of him. But father never treated mother halt-way decent." Susy Stopford was at the window when young Kiabee came by. She ran out to meet him, her bright hair blowing in the wind, her rosy lipa apart. "Well, George?" cried she. "I don't know what to say to you, Susy,'' he began. "Mother isn't herself to-day. 8hc?" "She don't like me? Ah, I knew that before, George! There was some old trouble between her mother and Grandfather Stopford. She jilted him or he threw her over, I never quite understood which. But I mean to make her like me." "I'm afraid she won't give you tho chance, Susy." Susy 8topford sat down on the doorstep and rested her round chin in her hands. George Kisbee leaned against the door and caressed one of the truant tresses of loose hair, as il it were a living thing. "Tell me all about it, George," said she. And George told her. It was such a new, strange delight to hav&Jier to confide everything to. "I wily wish I was rich," said he. "I'd buy the place myself, and I'd build that new kitchen that poor mother's soul so longs for, and a porch in front to train her morning glory vines on." Susy pressed her cheek against her hand. "Who's going to buy it. George?" said she. "Doctor Trevor." "What dots he pay for it?" "Twelve hundred dollars. It isn't a great price, but the land is sterile and rocky, and the house is old. Poor i ta. :n i i_ i i i_ i?_. uutucr i xi; win urt?n uer uearc, l in | afraid, to leave the old place." nn?... - " >a...n lifting ?w"jvl ?ia Ji j a her bright eyes to his face, "I can't give you up?not even to your mother." "Susy, my darling!" "But this I will do; I'll make her like me yet?see if I don't." And Susy got up and ran, sobbing,into.the house. She could not resurao her writing again, though the manuscript of a halffiuished story lay ou the table in her cosy little sanctum. She got out her bauk book and studiel it for awhile; then she brought in a shallow window box aud adjusted it in the sunniest nook of the kitchen casement. "La me, Susan, what are you doing?" said Aunt Pamela, who was cutting up pumpkiu for pie3. "Plantin' morning glory seeds at this time o' the year? Be you gone crazy?" "I thought I should like to have some plants ready for blossoming the first thing in the spring," said Susy, coloriug a little. Mrs. Kisbee's poor oid face grew very white and drawn when she heard that her husband had sold the old place; but she sigued the deed without a word of remonstrance. "It s late in the day for me to oppose Luke's will,"' said she. "But one thing I know?I'm too old a tree to bear transplanting When I leave the old house where I was born, I shall leave it in ray coffiu. Father, he's goin' to put the money into that Western land speckilation that S juirc Oliver's so full of, and it'll be scattered like autumn leaves. Oh, dear?oh, dear!" And alter that she went about her household tasks in a spiritless way, as if she were walking in a dream. "George," she said to her son one day, when he stopped in to see her, "Doctor Trevor, he's abuildin' on the prettiest wing you ever see. He said he hoped it wouldn't disturb me noiie, but they was in a hurry with the alterations." "You don't mind it, do you mother?" Mrs. Kisbee shook her piteous old gray head. "No," said she. "I like to hear the hamraerin'. I'm glud Mis' Trevor's goin' to have a nicer place to work in than ever I had. Two winders to the south, and h Georgia pine door with lectio narrer boards, and spring water brought in pipes, and a range, George?a range with a hot water b'ilcr rnd two big evens overhead. And there's to be a veranda all along the cast side of the house just where I always wanted father to put up a porch, where we could sit and breathe the fresh air of evenin's like other folks, and two nice big bedrooms further on. I hope Mis' Trevor 'II enjoy 'em." / tir .it ei ?-? -- luumer, r?us\ rays ? Mrs. Kisbee's face hardened. "I don't want to bear what Susy says," said she. "I don't calculate to go an' live with you an' Susan Stopford. I'm an old woman, an' I've got ways of my own that I can't give up. Me an' father, we can hire a couple o' rooms somewhere, or we can go to the poorhouse if that Western sffcckilation is really gone up, as folks say it is. I don't want nothin' to do with a daughter-irf-law." She watched her son go down the nath. "George has got an orful queer look in his face,'' said she. "Mebbe 1 said loo much. George.has always been a good boy, an' 1 didn't mean to hurt his feelin's. But I meant every word I said." If was spring before the alteration! on the hou<e were tinished. Mrs. Kisbee walkcl through the rooms with a bewildered air. "It's the old home, and yet it ain't," said she. "The new bedroom furniture ome yeiterdny,aud two Darby and Joan *;>lint cheers for the verandy, an' such a pietty kitchen set. with new crockery c unpleUs. Mis' Trevor 'il be a happy woman." i Luke Kisbee stood sheepishly looking out of the new south window. As his wife came up to blm, ha a deuly turned around. "Mother," said he, "I may's wall tall you now as ever. That Western property's turned out bad. There wa'n't no good title, it seems." "An'you've lost it allt" "" "Yes, I've lost every cent! Ev?a?ry cent!" Mrs. Kisbee did not answer him. Her attention was apparently concentrated on something else. "Father," said she, "what's them under the window? Mornin*-glories! This time o' year? Why, the apples ain't fairly In bloom yet; and here the mornin'-glories is four feet high, and trained on strings aready I Who's that woman down there, workin' around the roots? Transplantln' them from a wooden box, true's I live I Why ?it's?Susan Stopford! And there's George liftin' another box of 'em outen a wagon! Well, I declare!" She opeued the window and called, excitedly: "George! George! Susan! Don't put all them viDes into the ground. Save one in a little dower-pot for ma, when I go?to the poorhouset" Susy Stopford laid down her trowel. "Mrs. Kisbee?mother?" said she. In a voice so full of tender sympathy that the old woman involuntarily held out her hands to ber. "iMother," interrupted George, "let me tell the story. Right here, among the morning-glory vines, under the window. This is your birthday, mother. You're Ecventy years old to-day. And here are the deeds of the old home in ray pocket, Susy's present to you, mother. It's Susy that has bought this place and fitted it up just as we thought you would like it. I've been helping her, and Doctor Trevor was in the plot. And here you are to live, like a queen in her palace, to the end of your days." Mrs. Kisbee's lip quivered?a flush rose to her forehead. "I never thought o' that," said she. "It ain't a dream, is it? Rut I?I won't live here, Susy, unless you and George will come here and live, too." Susy shook her sunshiny bead. "George must bo near Farloy's Mills,'" said she. "But we'll come and spend every Sunday with you, mother, il you'll let us." "If I'll let you!" Trembling all over, Mrs. Kisbee opened the door aud came out iuto the sweel spring air. "Won't you kiss me, 8usy?" said she. "I've beeu awful uicharitable in my thoughts of you, but I'm wiflin' to take 'cm all back now. If I'd only knowed you loved mornin'-glories as well as 1 did, I'd have ffelt different." She clasped Susy Stopford in her arms with a loving pressure that was more eloquent than words. The tears streamed dojvn her wrinkled face. "I won't have to go to the poorhouse now," said she. "And I shall take lots of comfort in my beautiful new kitchen, and I'll hov the sewing society to tea next week, aud let 'em see there ain't no occasion to licv a bed in my best room now." Neither were George's and Susy's eyes dry. And as for Luke Kisbee, he listened in sileuce. "It seems like I was sort c>' left out in the cold," said he. "But, after all, it was x uargmnea nway my Dirtnrigbt for a lot o' wildcat Western laud bonds. I guess it's just as well the property belongs to mother now instead of me." "Susy," said George, as they drove home together, "are you satisfied with your investment?" And Susy answered: "More than satisfied 1"?Saturday Night. Victoria's Crown.

Three other crosses, containing 386 diamonds, are around the upper part of the crown. Between the four crosses are four ornaments with four rubies in the center, and containing respectively eighty-four, eight-six, eighty-five and eighty-seven diamonds. From the Maltese crosses rise four arches, com posed of oak leaves and acorns, the leaves containing 728 diamonds.

A child should be so closely watche< by the mother that no derangement c its system may escape her notice. Sh should ascertain for herself that all it bodily functions are in proper workin order. Her trained touch should not in ? moment any unusual neat or emu ucss of the child's body, the dryness c the skin, the over-quickness of the pulse She should learn to know at a glanc whether the throat and tongue are i their normal condition, and her ea should be schooled to detect the diffei ence between natural and labored o shortened respiration. A fever thei momcter should be io?^jvety famil medicine chest, and the mother shoul understand how to take her child temperature, and thus make herse! absolutely cure whether the patient i feverish or not. Even when th symptoms are such as to cause alarm, physician is not always at haud, an< upon the 'mother there devolves thi charge of the little one. A few genera hints as to simple modes of treatmen may not be amiss. Borne children have a tendenc towards croup that manifests itself a night approaches in feverishness,hoars* ness and a barking cough. 8uchsym{ toms must not be disregarded. Th child's feet must be well heated before goes to bed, its chest rubbed with cam phorated oil and covered with a bit c red ffaunel spread with vaseline. Aconit may be given at the rate of half a dro in a teaspoonful of water every half hot fot three or four doses. If the cold i a fresh one this may check it and pro duce a gentle respiration. When the uc pleasant symptoms remain, fifteen'drop of syrup of ipecac may be given ever twenty minutes until the hoarseness 1 relieved or the child vomits. Should th little one waken suddenly from slee with a hoarse cough and tightene breathing, a teaspoonful of ipecac cor taming as much powdered aluqa as cn be heaped on a silver dime may be ad ministered. If the child doe* not vom within half au hour, the dose may be r< peated. A bath in water of about ninety live degrees is, of course, excellent i croup, as in congestion or convulsion! Croupy children should be kept house while there is melting snow on tl ground. The snow air often affects ther even then,and makes thaws anxioj^jns 3ou6 for mothers. Blight bowel troubles can usually b regulated better by diet than by drugs Children suffering with looseness of th bowels should be fed with boiled mill) boiled rice, arrowroot jelly, rice flou porridge, sage or tanioca and soft toast Raw fruit and sweets should be especiall avoided. The regimen is not severe,ani is more attractive than dosing. Childre whose tendency is in the opposite direc tion should have a laxative diet, consist ing of oatmeal, hominy, mush, wheatei grits, baked potatoes, beef juice, app] sauce, etc. 8ugar of milk may be addo< to the food as a gentle correotlve, a tee spoonful three times a day ugua'.iy bein enough to produce the desitcd-eflect. Pain in the stomach or bowels, o colic, is so varied in its manifestation that it is hard to lay down any flxei rule of treatment. If the colic spring from acidity, a teaspoonful of lime we tcr, or a pinch of carbonate of soda die solved in a little water will often reliev the patient. Where there is any lncl nation to sourness of stomach, lime watt should always be added to the mil which a child drinks. For pain in th boweb a teaspoonful of anise cordii mixed with a teaspoonful of hot wah often produces a happy effect. Flai nels dipped iu hot spirits and wrung 01 maybe laid on the bowels of thesuffere ami frequently prove very soothing. 1 sharp pain laudanum may be added t the spirits.
