~ 'bowels to-night; CRUISE OF CANADIAN MILLION Mr. Spalding tad waited al i life, Micawberlike, for a hia turs. up. Mrs. Spalding, like Mrs. Micawber, had never entertained any intention of deserting him, and the small Spaldings, a round half dozen, followed the example of unfailing op- timism set for them. But faith, with its 'mountain moving power, is sel- dom sufficient to remove other ob: stacles and the mountain of poverty is not stirred thereby, So they lived on, a hand to mouth existence, but a singularly happy one. Thera was always enough and a little to Te, of food; if elothes were plain, they were suited to the season and they were never too cold in win- ter, or too warm In summer; the house, t00, while not modern, Was large enough to 'shelter them all comfortably and was a heme in the fullest gensa . Still, ithey always looked forward to that happy time in the distance when prosperiyi should reach out her arms and encircle them; when the makeshifts of poverty shonld be dope wway with; when things should be as abundant as they had been in Mrs. Spalding's girlhood home, of which she never was done telling them, There were segeral chances, 100, of thse halyton days coming to pass. Thre was Uncle Robert, away in the the gold fields, who always was about to make a "stake," and might do some time. And, as Mr. Spalding had occasionally and at some cr fice, relieved Uncle Robert's rene meed, it only was resonable to ex- pect that he would rediprocate when | fortune smiled. Another chance lay in Grandfather Leighton. who had more money than he kilew what to do with and Nad no more chance than the average mortal of carrying it away with him when he was bid. den vm his long journey. Besides these there was the ever present hope that Mr. Spalding would "strike it" with one" of his inventions, a which he worked at odd times, . Oh, there were plenty of chances! However, when fortune's modest bequest finally arrived it came from an unexpected source. Hillside, which had never thought of such an unbecoming thing, began to "boom!" Property went up like a skyrocket, _ and, lest it come down like one, the Spaldings at once sold their pictur- On Jan. 7th W, C.

The days that they had dreanied of were upon them. They sat arount the table, the last night ifn the old 'house, talking it over, "We Kin buy a place ten times as good, alittle further out, Tor half! the money," observed complacentiv, + We could," cagrected Mrs. Spald- ing ** but we won't---not for a little while anyhow. 'We've been shut np a pretty long time away off here. Now, my idea is to move farther in, not father out, and set about enjoy- ing ourselves---have a few good times while we're all together and ean -en-, joy them. ' What do you say, pa and children?" . Mr. Spalding opened his mouth to speak, thought better of it, and purs- ed up ris fips silently and from all the young Spaldings eame a roar of applause. It was what they wanted, Bvery «one. Mrs. SpaMing smiled over at her husband. . "Satistied, pa?" she queried. "Anything as suits the rest suits me," he answered. fh "Then," she said, briskly, 'that's settled, I'm pretty sure the young- sters will like be farther in, an' itl b# nearer your work. Lord!

The purchasing of the new furni- ture and clothes was a delightful pastime, baving all the charm of novelty and desires long restrained. Mrs. Spalding glowed and beamed Oevr the wearisome work. And in due. time the flat opened its skinny arms to receive them. , : © Mug, Spalding, who had kept the finished product for a surprise, mar- shalled her little flock proudly in. They were as pleased as she had ex- epeted, though the exuberance of their spirits was held in ch by "Now, J ie, look out for that chair. - It cost $7!" "Bertie, if you drop that on the car- pet it'll make a spot!" "Be care- ful, Mary, child, about them sauce- pans. If you drop "em, the granite'll break." : Nobody said anything, but some- how they felt that the new fiat had not inherited the charm of the old house, The first Yunch was a decid- ed failure. The six little Spaldings sat around on the leather-seated fort. Mr. Spalding, stiffly erect, try- ing toavoid mistakes, sat at the head of the table. Mrs. Sparlding, at the other end, had her weather eye open far a possible soll of weratoh. - Sho looked little like the motherly owner of the brood. There 'was a nervons frown on her forehead. When she spoke it was but to admonish qr re- prove, No one ate much, a all drew a sigh of relief when the un- comfortable meal was over, Pa Spalding recklessly ensconced him- sell 'on the lounge, as he had done every holiday that he could remem- ber, for an after dinher nap. Mrs. Spalding's horrified voice recalled him to himself. "Pa," she said, almost *'get up; get up quick!" "Why--why-s-what fur?" "It's leather--*hat lourige." "Well, what of it?" . _ "You'll scratch it. like as not. gives me a turn to see you." Pa Spalding arose to -his - tall height and opened his mouth to speak, but he brushed the words back with a little nervous gesture of his hand. The years had taught him the futility of hasty speech. Mrs' Spal- ding looked at him half remorseful- ly, as he donned his hat and ccat. "Where you goin', pa?' she asked. "Oh, I don't know--somewhere or other," he answered. , She watched his lean old figure go oft down the street. It was long be- fore he returned, but his. pogkets were bulging opulently. x "I've brought nuts," he said, "an' popcorn. We'll have an old time feast." And yet there was little of the old time enjoyment about it. There was so much fear of doing something wrong that nothing went right. The nut crackers, carelessly laid on a lea- ther chair, subjected Jimmie to re- proval; the popcorn, 'spilled on the new carpet, awakened a storm of protest. They were all glad to creep sulkily away to their small bedrooms. Mrs. Spaldin gremained to *'clear up: a Spalding watched her as she worked, cajoling a spot from 2a leather chair with the white of an egg, 'applying a cleanser to a spot on the carpet, It had been a hard day. At last she sat down with a sigh. Pa Spalding made no motion to draw her to his lap, as bad been his custom, Instead, he sat uncomfortably erect on the extreme edge of one of the precious chairs. He looked worn and tired and his eyes did not meet her own. At last she spoke: "Paint much like the old home, is ft, pa? 'Things don't seem {0 run so smooth somehow." "Well, we ain't used to it yet" he said patiently. Suddenly she flung _ her: arms 'We around him, sobbing. "Used as we'll ever get, Da. had enough of it in these few 'days.
