"Ma," she asked of the woman who was sitting before the little round stove, "what were those papers Dave put in his pocket as I came in?" "Some things he was showin' me." "Ma," she asked, quiveringly, "you didn't sign anything, did you?" "I didn't sign your name to anything." And the needles clashed again. She knew her mother too well to press further. "I just couldn't understand Dave coming here this time of year," she ventured; "and I tholight he acted queer." The old woman was folding her knitting. "I'm going to bed, and you'd better come along, too," was her reply. A week went by, and although Libby had twice forgotten to feed the chickens, and had several times let the kettle burn dry, she was beginning to feel more settled in her mind. She did up her work one morning and went to town. Her first call was at the solicitor's, and there she heard the worst. Ma had assigned their home to Dave. She did not make any fuss; she was too old-fashioned for hysteric;. It was not until the old place came In sight that she broke down. 1 /'It's not fair," she cried out, "when I've stayed here and worked?it's not fair!" And, for the first time in many years, she .was crying?passionately crying. It was a feeling of outraged Justice "that made her speak, for she was just 41 woman?the daughter of pa. "Ma," she said, "do you think pa would like to think of your assigning the place to Dave, when I've stayed here and kept it up the best I could for twenty years?" The old woman put down her knitting. "La, now, Libby," she said, not unkindly, "don't take on. You'll never want for nothinT' Libby stood there looking at lier. "I think you don't realize what you've done," she said; and turned to the bedroom to take off her things. It was not until the nest month, the blustering month of March, that all was made clear. It was early in the afternoon when Libby looked from the window and saw a man coming in at the big gate. "That friend of Dave's from the city Is coming, ma," she said. "Gracious!" exclaimed Mjs. Ander son, "and such a day as 'tis!"' The stranger warmed his hands, and disbursed a number of pleasantries. "Well, Mrs. Anderson," he said finally, "your son wants me to make a , little proposition to you." Mrs. Anderson looked pleasantly expectant. "Dave's always makin' propositions," she chuckled. ? "He's been a good deal worried about you this winter?afraid you were not just comfortable out here?you two, all alone." "Dave's always thinkin' of his mother's comfort," she asserted: and looked triumphantly over to Libby. "Well," he resumed, turning back to the older woman, "it worries Dave to think of your being out hero alone now that you're getting along in years, so he's rented a nice little place in town, and he feels sure it would be better all around if you'd just go in and take it." "If that ain't for all the world like Dave!?always seme new idea in bis head. But you just tell him, Mr. Murray, not to be bothering. We don't want to move to town?do we, Libby?" "Not if we can help it," she replied. "Dave's been away from the place so long that he don't see just how 'tis," ma explained. "Libby and me wouldn't feel at home no place else." "It's too bad you feel that way," he went on persuasively, "for Dave was so sure you'd like the idea that he's gone ahead and made all arrangements, and I'm afraid there might be a little trouble about unmaking them." He turned to Libby. "How soon do you think you could * xnove? By the 1st of May?" "I suppose so," she answered, in a dull voice. April came, and for the fiftieth time the old woman watched the white give way to the green on the hills that curved in and out around her old home. 1 As long as she could, Libby let licr have her dream. Her heart was not hard toward ma now. Ma had not understood. And Libby was glad she coald have those few spring days befo^ she was torn from the old home. "Ma," she began one morning, "I think I will have to be packing up this .week." "Pacing up what?" "Why, don't you remember, ma, we're going to town the 1st of May?" "Oh, la, Libby, I've give that up long ago! I'm going to die on the old ^ filace." ;i -1 DREAMS. ^ ar the far off voices calling oad, from the rolling waste of plain; ^ one told us in the township) will not come back again? t the shadow people waiting j on the rolling waste of plain; t v r something hopeful, if not certain, . ifou shall not return again." t I he dear old shanty standing.

AV Libby . was tised to caring "for ma, cc and she needed care now. "Yes, ma," she answered; "I'm sure he must." er It was not until the morning of the fa fourth day that the silence between w them was broken. Libby got up to take down the clock, when she heard a strange noise behind her, and. turning, she saw that ma's head was down jn 1a*t' In h a?? hr. n/Ic on/1. rt'o e f aa!? 1,auu?'

But she did not have it, and the best she could do was to pull ma's chair out from the barren . room out into the sunshine of the | porch. The hills, she thought, would . still look like home. ^ Ma did not get up at all next day. j Perhaps she was ill. or perhaps it was j only that she did not want to go out in the sitting room and see how unlike home it looked. Rut the next day she did not get up either, and then 1 1 Libby went to town for the doctor. lie said the excitement had weakened her. P1 and did not seem very certain she 111 111 would ever get up again. That night Libby wrote a letter to Dave, askjng ju him again to let his mother die on the a old place. A week passed, and au answer had not come, and still ma had 1 not left her bed. The packing was all done, it was the 1st of May, and she was just waiting?she did not know for what. Pc Her whole soul rose up against mov- is ing ma from the old place now. when her days were so surely numbered; kc and so she sent a telegram to Dave. telling him his mother was ill, and* asking leave to stay a little longer." *? There came a reply from his partner. fa saying that Dave was a^ray, and would cr not be home for two weeks. "J That night the old woman raised her- w sen nnu suuueu uiu me mini. i?"It's Dave that's killin' ine! It's to jo think Dave sold the place, and turned at me out to die!" And then the way opened before Ioj Libby, and she saw her path. The disinherited child wrote a letter re that night, and to it she signed her w brother's nauie. Out in the world they yc mlfcht have applied to it an ugly word, pc but Libby was only caring for ma. She fa was a long time about it, for it was til hard to put things in Dave's round, m bold hand, and it was hard to say them hr in his silky way. e* The doctor said next morning that It fa was a matter of but a few days at T1 most, for ma was much worse. "It ain't that I'm goin' to die," she Fj said, when Libby came in and found nc her crying; "but I was thinkin' of eu Dave. I keep ^hinkin' and thinkin' of re him when he was a little boy. and bow m he used to run about the place, and how pretty he used to look; and then, just B< as I begin to take a little comfort in reinemberiu' some of the smart things he said, I have to think of what he ' ha9 done, and it doe9 seem like he si| might have waited till?" But the to words were too bitter to be spoken, tii and, with a hard, scraping sound in her fo throat, she turned her face to the wall, wi Libby put her hand to something in of her pocket, and thought of last night's to work with thankfulness. ke About 11 o'clock she entered the m room with the sheets of a letter in her at h/** flat ' ^ \ \ ???inmgmtm "Ma," the said, tremulously, "here's a etter Just come from Dave."

He really thought you'd like it etter in town. But he's fixed it up or us to stay. He says you'll never lave to leave the place." "I knowed it?I knowed it well nough! You don't know Dave like I lo.

Have you ever given au orange partv? iMis curious and amusing from the xjm start, as each guest is requested ,Jo bring an orange?which request being accompanied by no explanation is quite puzzling, and therofore gives an added interest right at the beginning. Usher each arrival into the dining room, where they are received by the Orange Aid* Committee, whose first , duty is to aid you in registering your orange and tying a ribbon marked by a letter around it so you may identify It later. Then all the guests assemble in the dining room, while the committee continues with its work, which is to count the seeds. Each orange is cut in half, the seeds are extracted, and, after being counted and duly credited to the *THE ORANGE-AID COY owner as entered on the register, they are put into a transparent glass bowl. J Now the guests partake of a repast composed of every conceivable form of orange you can think of?sliced oranges, orange ice, orangeade, orangeflavored candy, etc.?after which you announce that a prize will be offered to the one who guesses nearest to the number of seeds In the bowl, and a booby prize given to the poorest guesser. Also, two prizes will be awarded to the two guests having the most number of seeds and the least number in their respective oranges. Appropriate prizes are in order for a dozen orange sodas at a good soda fountain for the grand prize, and a small jar of orange marmalade win provoke a good deal of mirth when it is given to the winner of the booby prize. And by the time the party winds up you "will lin-l the bowlful of orange seeds have sprung up into a splendid crop of fun. Yet. if you prefer other fruit, you may call the party after almost any variety containing a moderate amount of seeds, although we would not advise a watermelon party, as then the committee would have to spend a week or so counting the seeds.?New York Evening Mail. A SIMrLE EXPERIMENT. Cut two slips of paper long enough for each to encircle the outside of a bottle, leaving an uncovered space between the slips. Fasten them in place by a thread and then wrap a piece of twine around the uncovered glass between the strips. To one end of the twine tie a nail or some convenient hook. Hold the other end with one hand and with the other move the bottle quickly backward and 9 g : HOW PAPER AND STRING ARE PDACKD j forward. This is done in order that the twine my rub upon the exposed glass between the paper bands. This action will shortly cause the surface of the gla-3 to heat.

This continued friction will cause the neck of the bottle to become so hot that it will expand, and the glass stopper will be loosened enough to allow it to be pulled out without further trouble.?New York Evening Mail. A NURTURING A CHEERB'UL SriRIT Lucky was the patient In Cednrville who could secure the services of "Aunty" Bond as his nurse, but he must make up his mind that while all his wants would receive due attention and he would have a fair amount of coddling, there were some things in which he could not count on having his own way. "Now you just take that look off your face, won't you?" she halfcoaxed, half-commanded a man who was recovering from pneumonia. "You aren't half as sick as you were a month ago: let your thoughts dwell on that, and let 'em dwell on this: There's lots o' folks outdoors a-falling from the tops o' buildings and a-getting run into and over by automobiles and coutraptions of all 6orts, besides those that are yielding to teniptatiou o' various kinds and being sent to jail, and then to State prison.

Some years ago an Englishman was coming down the River Nile, in Egypt, on a large boat loaded with grain, and the birds came off from every village and ate the grain piled on the deck. The Englishman asked the Egyptian captain of the boat, "Who owns this grain?" The Egyptian captain said, "I own it." Then the Englishman asked. "Why let the birds eat up the grain?" The Egyptian asked the Englishman, "Who made the birds?" The Englishman answered, "God." The Egyptian asked, "Whether grain was a food which God intended birds to eat?" The Englishman said it was. The Egyptian said. "Can the birds sow and raise the grain for themselves?" The Englishman said, "They cannot." Then said the Egyptian, "Let them eat; God has provided enough for both them and us."?Our Dumb Animals. "BROTHER, WHO KNOCKS." Two players are blindfolded and sit down back to back.

Mrs. Gertrude Atherton, the authoress, says Harper's Weekly, tells of the tribulations of a friend in New York, who is the mother of a particularly mischievous boy of some seven years. "One evening recently," says Mrs. Atherton, "when the mother was getting the boy ready for bed after what she termed 'a day of unmitigated outrageousness' on the part of her hopeful. she said to him: " 'Now when you say your prayers to-night, Richard, remember to ask God to make you a better boy.
