How Mrs. Fifer Repaid Mrs. Castle for Her Kindness, Mrs. Hannah Fifer, a widow, who earned her living by renting. rooms for light housekeeping, had the re- ager, and much inclined to carry point. She was hard-working with- al, and seemed never to reach the end of her daily labor. On a cer- tain day, Mre. Castle, one. of the "light housekeepers,"' finding a rich | surplus of time on her hands, kind- ly offered to help Mrs. Fifer out with her overflow of work. "Well, if you feel like it, I wouldn't, care if you'd take hold le of pies,' and bake me up a coupl Mrs. Fifer conceded. ""That'll help me a lot. There's a bowl of apple sauce that I'm afraid won't keep if it ain't used soon." 2 After Mrs. Castle had begun work Mrs, Fifer appeared with a supple- mentary suggestion. "While you're about it,"' said she, '"mebby you wouldn't mind baking four pies. 'Twon't take any more coal to bake four than two, and that'll be a saving. You can make the fillin' hold out by having lots of juice to it."' ! . Mrs. Castle agreed to the amend- ment, and worked away indusbri- ously until her task was accompligh- ed, when, wearied with her labors, she retired to her own a ent. In a short time, Mrs. Fifer's small daughter, Peggy, appeared at her door. "Ma says,'"' reported Peggy, "that she don't b'lieve she'll be able to use all them four pies before they dry out, and she wants to know if you won't buy two of 'em off her for twenty cents--and she'd like the twenty cents right away, please."' ; Mrs. Castle bought the pies, ob- serving to herself with a dry smile, 'She might have let me have two for fifteen--oonsidering 1" TTT An Awful Possibility.
