alone raoept for the two servants even the sonants fthem- belvee could not have told flosaa the 000k if yoa had asked her about ft would have said law chile dont ask me seech ques tions ise been ssliet up id diiiher house eo long isa ftot pi am moldy and if the years had not left mold on the mindi and the heart of the lonely old woman in the upper rooms it was not booause the time had been too short people wondered what kind of woman ehe could bava been when aha was young bat that did not really matter they all know very well what kind of woman she wao now not that she was eo very old either she had bimply made herself old by siltinff alone and shutting ont the sunlight and thinking hard bittor thoughta and getting wrinkles in her face and gray fn her hair any one can do that who trieb very hard bat whether it is tho beat thing to do that is the question imaginative people bald that ehe bad been imblttered by a groat disappointment long ago and that h had turned ber into a aoar gloomy old reolaae bating the world and everybody in it bat after all when yon oame to ask about these stories they were all hearsay of the two servants in the kltoheo one was sanaa who knew just when to do everything and jaet how to do it because sho had done the same things at the same time ever day daring all those years when she waa growing moldy the other was jane the hoasemaid jane had been there only six years and susan told bar every day that itabe didnt quit dlsreaaenabor- in everything that she was told she woald oertainlygit her walkin papers perhaps the threat bad been repeated too often and had lost ite effect at any rate jane went on disrememberln with tho oalmnesb of perfect confidence in her safety and left doors open and forgot to look gates and was altogether a trial to the method ical susan year after year this old woman bad been alone she bad a great fine house bat she lived in a little corner of jt she had great quantities of money bat she peed very little of it she had no friends or if she hadi ehe never saw them in all susans recollection of fcor she had never done any body a klpdnobs the servants bad orders never to feed a tramp and as for giving money to beggars why dear mo such a thing was never dreamed of bat it was jane tusttended it jane had gone oat to the ooalhouae and had oome in with a scuttle of coal and perhaps it ts needless to state knowing what we do of her that she left every door open on her way np etlrs aaahe set tho scottte down in the corner she heard tho wellknown oommand shut the doors as yoa go back jane and she gave the stereotyped reply yea mia a mam i top to it so she went baok shutting all the doors bat it was too late then the mischief was done something had whisked into the room before yoa oould tbiak and be fore the eubo of janes footsteps had died out of the room there was the roundest funniest gray kitten running np bliss ar- nams dress and scrambling into her lap onoe there it looked her in the eyes atretahed ont ite soft little paws and rnewed in the most wheedling caressing manner known to mttenhood ibe old womsn did not throw the kitten down orpuph it down or shnt it outside the door she started to do all three bat instead she only sat there looking at the little ball of gray while it closed and en closed its paws 00 her folded hands well what do yoa want t she said presently the sound of her own voice startled her it bad been 10 iodr since she had heard it ezoept in giving orders to the servants there never was so oh a kitten the moment she spoke to it op it want hand thoroughly at home there this was that kitten when jaue went up stairs to anoounao the next meal as was ber oaatom aho ro turned to the kitchen almost tottering and with distended eyoa i bloebo mis arnam done gone crazy 1 ebo oried sheaottin up derewlf a kitten in ber lap an she say foryou to fotob ber dinuer np toer an a bosaer o milk for do kitten i g way from here nlggahl aried susan and she harried to ber mistress room to disprove janes story sho returned with flower footsteps and a frightened faoo mrs arnam bad said to her jyesi i want my dinner hero suaao until the kitten gets need to the bo use i have never hd kitten before i dont know why i have never thought of it deys somefln wrong wif alia xjfea- hetb said susan when ehe had gained the saored precincts of the kltoheo and jane had assured her that the sbojy did look pale longas i been atayin here she aint never et in her room jit and now she gwlne ter eat dere on account ob a measly little oat on the seoond day a queer thing happen ed the kitten had performed what it considered a great feat and mxa arnam laughed tbe sound of the laugh frighten ed her and it sent the kitten soarrying qnderfbe bed it came oat presently and growled at her a a gentle intimation not to try that any more and that made her laugh again jane swooping in the next room heard it and left her work anlioish 4 to tell sasen bat susan boornfally warned her not to come tellln her no eech trash there were bounds beyond which sasaas credulity could not go of coarse jane left the doors open again before a week was oat she declared that be shot ebery one ob em bat she mait have left thorn open for how else did the kitten get oat at any rate before any one knew it the kitteu was gone and was not to be foaud anywhere abont the house when mistreus and eorvante had search ed everywhere iu vain mra arnam shot herself up in her room again and bat down before the fire the little areata ro that had distracted ber thougbta for a few days and had made ber forget herself was gone and onoe more abe wae a lonely old woman more lonely and miserable than she had been before she eat there looking at gloomy aoanes in the glowing aoals until bhe could endure it no longer and then she arose and walked abont tho room and finally threw up a window to get rid of the choking pain in ber throat and when she leaned oat into the cold air what do yoa think she saw 7 jaat below her eeated on the doorstep was a ragged httje boy with her kitten in his arms in a moment she was down stairs and had frightened tbe child so that be ooald do nothing bat stand and stare at her what are yoa doing witb m kitten little boy she demanded grimly taiat your kitten 1 its mine 1 ho replied clasping it olober how did it happen to be yours i should like to know asked tho angry old woman it was horned mine was the eimple explanation and then tho womans heart sunk she had never once thought that tbe kitten might be homebodys property beforo it came to her and now behold sho had had no right to it from ihe first bhe was about to go in and cloeo the door bnt she paused to aak ooldly what were you doing on my dooretop we was awartmn ourselves said the child and this reminded him of his own discomfort eo that he bogan to ehiver and to shrink together truly it was a bitter day even in that sunny nook tho cold was intense the ohild was blue with it she bad not notic ed that before come in and warm at my fire yoa and the kitten she aaid now what had come over her what magic spell bad been working on that hard old heart she sat in her armchair watching the ohildjhaw and grow rosy red in the grateful warmth as he sat on the hassock before the fire there was no sound in the room bat the soft oraokjing of the horning ooal and tho gentle purring of tbe kitten and after awhile tbo ohild began to nod ovoroome with drowsiness he slipped down to therng at last and stretoh ed himself out there and when the kitten orept into his arms ho murmured it always sleeps wid mo to keep mo warm after awhile tbe old woman arose boftly and covered both the sleepers with blankets and slipped a pillow under the ohildshead poor little toqied onrls how pretty they woald be if they were brushed i the withered hand touched them softly when had tbat band ever been laid on a childs head before and then as though asham ed of soob weakness she eat down again and resolutely looked into the fire what was this child more than any other there were hundreds of buoh children in the streets bcrq thieve a every one of them ready to repay kindncba by stealing anything they ooald lay their bande en bat it was no use she couldnt keep from looking at tbe ohild and somehow it did seem pleasant to hear his soft breathing in that room that had been silent so long and after she had watched and listened awhile she went ont into another room and opened a drawer that had beon shut i dont know bow many years and took oat a childs cloak a long warm cloak that wonldsnrsly ooverthatuttlsflgnia jnlhn him how he laughed at that a thlo little laagb that brought tears to her eyes ob it wsb wonderful how those eyes of bors wero improving i and yet she did not say a word exoept to ask him where he lived and then she told jane to take care of tbo boy and the kitten until she came back and bho wrapped herself np and went out she was gone a long time when ehe returned her eyea were bright and moit and looked almost like a pair of new eyes she sat down and took the child and kitten both in her lap little man bhe said ive been jo aoo your uncle and aunt theyve had biokneea and havent been able to take care of their own ohildren and so im jtoing to send them all the whole family out to a great big farm of mine where theyll get well dud make a living and you are going to live with dip and be my little boy tbe child contemplated her with serious oyes after a while be asked doubtfully an the kitten too ob yea indeed oried the old woman tbe kitten too they bad cupper there together after ward all three of tbem and eaoh a hungry boy as tbat waa and what a pleasure it was to aee him eat i why this rioh old woman shut np in hor gloomy thoughts had never dreamed there ooald be a ohild aa hungry as that in all ihe world 1 and afterward when the little fellow insisted upon wearing his new shoes to bed jane and susan bad to bu called up to see that and they made a regular holiday of it i dont know how many years it is blnoe those old walls bad echoed to snob laugh ter when suban saw the grim austere old woman actually persuading the child to jet the shoes lie in a chair where he coald touoh them and when she saw her put the kitten into bis arms she remarked to jane in an awestruck whisper hit do pear to me like de merlennium mua be jea roan de oorner and that wasnt the end of itl no indeed 1 why the vory next day a certain minister whose work lay among the poor and destitute received a bammons to call on an old woman who had refased to bee bim when he had called at ber door onoe before and when he went there she was with a small boy and a kitten and there was a radiance in her face that did not oome from the fire light as she said i have jnst found out what poverty is yoa see a great deal of it i am told next thursday will be thanksgiving i have cot observed it for many years bat all that is changed i want yon to take this money and aee bow far it will go in giving all the poor yon know a little supply of fael and a good thanksgiving dinner and will you oome baok to me whon that is gone i want tho dinner to bo a good one mind a regular generous old fashioned thanks giving dinner oh it was a great time in that old worn ads life bat that was not all for she sect for an arohueot that very evening and began to talk over plane for a home for homeless children and while she talked the child was leaning against hor knee and aho fondled his thin little band after tbe architect was gone ehe still sat there musing late ab it wae she aaid to her self ehe might still atone for her idle bolnsb lonely life and that was not all yet for when jane oamo to the door and said with a broad grin spreading all over hor face bome- body to see you mis arnam she did not hear until the somebody came in and stood beside her and asked mather can you forgive me yet she must have been dreaming of bim for ehe looked at him as though he were part of tbe dream this handsome man with a mouth ab firm aa her own but in a moment she had wakened and was in hib arms orying out to him while tho tears rained down her cheeks ob dick my little boy my own little lad dont ask forgiveness of mo i i need it bo mnoh morel and there wab susans face in tbo door way illuminated with a radiant grin for had she not known where mas dlok was this long time and had she not gone to him tbat very morning anuftold bim maa dick nons yo time to make frions wit yo ma for sho eholy is like anodder omen 1 and there was tbe little boy in dicks arms before yon coald think and friends with him from the very first minute and there was the kitten running op the table oover and t ambling down again and making a perfect whirligig of itself in tbat nemd pursuit after its own tail and altogether there never wsb each a happy time susan began that very evening making preparations for tbe most delightful thanksgiving dinner that ever wae oaten and wbilo ahe worked she ohcokled with delight and took all tho qredit to herself booause ahe had bronght jlae dick home in the very nick of time bnt then there waa the little boy who had melted tbe hard old heart ready for dicks coming and there was the kitten which had bronght tbe little boy and there was jane who had left the doors open for he kitten and so bat what does it matter how the thanksgiving got into tbat house so that it oamo philadelphia times gunboats shipped by rail fishing por sponge6 while tbe british army is pushing its w up th nil vall i is auhi a most wonderfnl naval
