somewhat crossly at a small green paper-covered book which lay open beside him4 8,a dozen of them60 he said at last4 8,just to think of a fellow making such a silly promise as that6 ,a verse a month1 straight through a whole year4 ,got to pick 'em out1 too4 ,i'd rather have 'em picked out for me2 less trouble4 8,how did ,i happen to promise her ,i'd do it8 ,i don't know which verse to take4 ,none of 'em fit me1 nor have a single thing to do with a boy6 ,well1 that'll make it all the easier for me1 ,i s'pose4 ,i've got to hurry1 anyhow1 so here goes2 ,i'll take the shortest there is here40 ,and while he drew on the other boot1 and made haste to finish his toilet1 he rattled off1 many times over1 the second verse at the head of this story4 ,the easiest way to make you understand about ,joseph1 is to give you a very brief account of his life4 ,he was twelve years old1 and an orphan4 ,the only near relative he had in the world was his sister ,jean aged sixteen1 who was learning millinery in an establishment in the city4 ,the little family though very poor1 had kept together until mother died in the early spring4 ,now it was ,november1 and during the summer1 ,joseph had lived where he could2 working a few days for his bread1 first at one house1 then at another2 never because he was really needed1 but just out of pity for his homelessness4 ,jean could earn her board where she was learning her trade1 but not his2 though she tried hard to bring this about4 ,at last1 a home for the winter opened to ,joseph4 ,the ,fowlers who lived on a farm and had in the large old farmhouse a private school for a dozen girls1 spent a few weeks in the town where ,joseph lived1 and carried him away with them1 to be errand boy in general1 and study between times4 ,poor1 anxious ,jean drew a few breaths of relief over the thought of her boy4 ,that1 at least1 meant pure air1 wholesome food1 and a chance to learn something4 ,now for his promise4 ,jean had studied over it a good deal before she claimed it4 ,should it be to read a few verses in mother's ,bible every day8 ,no2 because a boy always forgot to do so1 for a week at a time1 and then on ,sunday afternoon rushed through three or four chapters as a salve to his conscience1 not noticing a sentence in them4 ,at last she determined on this3 the little green book of golden texts1 small enough to carry in his jacket pocket6 ,would he promise her to take--should she say each week's text as a sort of rule to live by8 ,no2 that wouldn't do4 ,joseph would never make so close a promise as that4 ,well1 how would a verse a month do1 chosen by himself from the ,golden ,texts8 ,on this last she decided2 and this1 with some hesitancy1 ,joseph promised4 ,so here he was1 on ,thanksgiving morning1 picking out his first text4 ,he had chosen the shortest1 as you see2 there was another reason for the choice4 ,it pleased him to remember that he had no lambs to feed1 and there was hardly a possibility that the verse could fit him in any way during the month4 ,he was only bound by his promise to be guided by the verse if he happened to think of it1 and if it suggested any line of action to him4 8,it's the jolliest kind of a verse10 he said1 giving his hair a rapid brushing4 8,when there are no lambs around1 and nothing to feed 'em1 ,i'd as soon live by it for a month as not40 ,voices in the hall just outside his room3 8,i don't know what to do with poor little ,rettie to-day10 said ,mrs4 ,calland1 the married daughter who lived at home with her fatherless ,rettie4 8,the poor child will want everything on the table1 and it won't do for her to eat anything but her milk and toast4 ,i am so sorry for her4 ,you know she is weak from her long illness2 and it is so hard for a child to exercise self control about eating4 ,if ,i had anyone to leave her with ,i would keep her away from the table2 but every one is so busy40 ,then ,miss ,addie1 one of the sisters3 8,how would it do to have our new ,joseph stay with her80 8,indeed60 said the new ,joseph1 puckering his lips into an indignant sniff and brushing his hair the wrong way1 in his excitement2 8,i guess ,i won't1 though4 ,wait for the second table on ,thanksgiving ,day1 when every scholar in the school is going to sit down to the first6 ,that would be treating me exactly like one of the family with a caution6 ,just you try it1 ,miss ,addie1 and see how quick ,i'll cut and run40 ,but ,mrs4 ,calland's soft voice was replying3 8,oh6 ,i wouldn't like to do that4 ,joseph is sensitive1 and a stranger1 and sitting down to the ,thanksgiving feast in its glory1 is a great event for him2 it would hurt me to deprive him of it40 8,better not10 muttered ,joseph1 but there was a curious lump in his throat1 and a very tender feeling in his heart toward ,mrs4 ,calland4 ,it was very strange1 in fact it was absurd1 but all the time ,joseph was pumping water1 and filling pitchers1 and bringing wood and doing the hundred other things needing to be done this busy morning1 that chosen verse sounded itself in his brain3 8,he saith unto him1 feed my lambs40 ,more than that1 it connected itself with frail little ,rettie and the ,thanksgiving feast4 ,in vain did ,joseph say 8,pho60 8,pshaw60 8,botheration60 or any of the other words with which boys express disgust4 ,in vain did he tell himself that the verse didn't mean any such thing2 he guessed he wasn't a born idiot4 ,he even tried to make a joke out of it1 and assure himself that this was exactly contrary to the verse2 it was a plan by means of which the 8lamb0 should not get fed4 ,it was all of no use4 ,the verse and his promise1 kept by him the whole morning1 actually sent him at last to ,mrs4 ,calland with the proposal that he should take little ,rettie to the schoolroom and amuse her1 while the grand dinner was being eaten4 ,i will not say that he had not a lingering hope in his heart that ,mrs4 ,calland would refuse his sacrifice4 ,but his hope was vain4 ,instant relief and gratitude showed in the mother's eyes and voice4 ,and ,joseph carried out his part so well that ,rettie1 gleeful and happy every minute of the long two hours1 did not so much as think of the dinner4 8,you are a good1 kind boy10 said ,mrs4 ,calland1 heartily4 8,now run right down to dinner2 we saved some nice and warm for you40 ,yes1 it was warm3 but the great fruit pudding was spoiled of its beauty1 and the fruit pyramid had fallen1 and the workers were scraping dishes and hurrying away the remains of the feast1 while he ate1 and the girls were out on the lawn playing tennis and croquet1 double sets at both1 and no room for him1 and the glory of everything had departed4 ,the description of it all1 which he had meant to write to ,jean1 would have to be so changed that there would be no pleasure in writing it4 ,what had been the use of spoiling his own day8 ,no one would ever know it1 he couldn't even tell ,jean1 because of course the verse didn't mean any such thing4 8,but ,i don't see why it pitched into a fellow so1 if it didn't belong10 he said1 rising from the table just as ,ann1 the dishwasher1 snatched his plate1 for which she had been waiting4 8,and1 anyhow1 ,i feel kind of glad ,i did it1 whether it belonged or not40 8,he is a kind-hearted1 unselfish boy10 said ,mrs4 ,calland to her little daughter1 that evening1 8and you and mamma must see in how many ways we can be good to him40 _/99 ,,pansy4 99_/ ,,mother',s ,,face4 _/99 ,,three little boys talked together ,one sunny summer day1 ,and ,i leaned out of the window ,to hear what they had to

morning10 he added4 ,and at this the little granddaughter ,lucy ,l4 clapped her hands gleefully4 ,the boy ,whittier said nothing1 but presently a noise was heard up in the wood-house chamber1 and ,mrs4 ,kirke said in a startled tone1 8,what's that80 ,grandpa stepped to the door and called1 8,whittier60 ,illustration3 8,,grandma ,,kirke ,,might ,,give ,,you ,a ,,breakfast40 8,sir80 responded the boy quickly4 8,oh6 you are there40 8,coming in a minute2 do you want anything80 said ,whittier1 and in less than a minute the boy appeared below stairs with his sled4 8,looks pretty well to start on a second winter with60 he said1 as he dusted and examined the treasure4 8,say1 ,lucy ,larcom1 how will you like to ride to school on the ,flyaway to-morrow morning80 ,grandma laughed1 and said1 8,you seem to be counting on snow1 for sure40 8,but you know grandpa said maybe it would snow1 and when grandpa says maybe1 it most always comes so10 said ,lucy4 ,sure enough snow lay on the ground1 pure and white1 to the depth of several inches when they looked out that morning before ,thanksgiving ,day4 ,the children could scarcely be prevailed upon to eat their breakfast1 so eager were they to get off to school with the ,flyaway4 ,grandma said3 8,this won't last long2 snow that falls upon frozen ground never stays4 ,it is the snow that comes in the mud that makes sleighing to last40 ,this somewhat chilled their expectations1 but ,lucy concluded that the snow would last until recess1 anyway4 ,as the two started off grandma1 watching them from the window1 said with a sigh1 8,how much ,whittier looks like our ,john at his age60 8,god forbid that he should grow up to remind you of ,john60 replied ,mr4 ,kirke1 almost bitterly4 ,mrs4 ,kirke washed the dishes and tidied the room in silence1 then stepping to her husband's side she laid her hand upon his shoulder1 and said softly1 8,joseph1 to-morrow is ,thanksgiving ,day60 8,well80 8,i have made the pies and the pudding and the plum cake that ,john always liked so well1 and now if ,john should come home80 8,well80 this time the monosyllable was spoken a trifle less impatiently4 8,if he should come home you would receive him8

comes round4 ,anyway1 ,i've made them things for him1 but then10 she added1 more to herself than to her husband1 8,i'm always ready for him4 ,the bed is always made up for him1 and there is always something cooked that he likes40 ,meantime the children had gone on their way1 ,whittier drawing his sister upon the ,flyaway1 bending all his energies to the task1 for the sledding was not very good1 so it happened that ,lucy was the first to spy a strange sight for that part of the country4 8,look1 ,whitty6 what is that coming80 exclaimed his sister4 ,then ,whittier stopped1 and ,lucy in her excitement jumped off the sled and stood beside him1 half-frightened4 8,why1 that must be one of them things they call a bicycle60 said the boy2 8,i've read a lot about them1 and ,tom ,green saw one in ,galway when he was over there staying with his uncle4 ,i guess this is the first one ever got around this way4 ,my6 how he skims along4 ,but ,i wish he would stop1 so we could see the machine better40 ,as if divining the boy's wish1 the bicyclist came to a stand-still and dismounted as he reached the place where the children waited4 8,halloo1 my boy6 ,how'll you swap8 ,i think ,i'd like to go coasting this morning2 those hills over there look as though they might give a chance for some sport40 8,say10 continued the stranger without giving ,whittier a chance to speak1 8do you s'pose a fellow could get a breakfast anywhere around here80 8,i don't know10 replied ,whittier slowly4 8,i guess1 though1 that grandma would give you some4 ,i've heard her say she never could find it in her heart to turn a tramp away because maybe uncle ,john might be wanting something to eat and she would want somebody to give him a meal40 ,the stranger stooped down and seemed to be brushing the snow off the wheel1 and when he spoke it was in a very quiet tone3 8,where does grandma live1 and what is her name80 8,her name is ,grandma ,kirke1 and she lives over there in the white house you see by the red barn40 8,and is there a ,grandpa ,kirke80 8,of course6 we'd have to have a grandpa or we couldn't get along1 could we80 said ,lucy1 startled out of her shyness at the thought that there could be a house without a grandpa4 8,there is just ,grandpa and ,grandma ,kirke and us10 said ,whittier2 8we used to have an uncle ,john1 though ,lucy ,larcom and ,i came here after he went away4 ,he has been gone five years1 but you better not say anything about him if you go there1 because it always makes grandma cry40 8,and does grandpa cry80 8,no2 he only looks sober1 but ,i guess he feels awful bad about uncle ,john1 for he says it was rum that made him go off1 and grandpa hates rum like poison4 ,he won't have even cider in the house1 and he always votes against rum too40 8,and don't grandma make currant wine and keep it in the cellar for ,thanksgiving and ,christmas80 asked the stranger4 8,my6 no6 grandma hates everything that has alcohol in it4 ,she wouldn't have it anywhere around2 but she will give you a cup of coffee1 ,i guess40 8,and you think she would be glad to see ,john80 8,i know she would60 ,then as a thought flashed into his mind1 the boy said suddenly1 8,say1 if you go riding around the country much on that machine maybe you'll come across my uncle2 if you do1 just tell him grandma keeps things all ready for him1 'specting him to come1 will you80 8,all right1 ,i will2 good-by60 and mounting his wheel the stranger rode off towards the little white house which ,whittier had pointed out4 8,as if ,i didn't know that house and every room in it60 he said1 talking to himself4 8,and so grandma keeps things ready for her wandering son60 and here he lifted his hand to brush away something from his cheek4 ,it could not have been a fly that frosty morning1 could it8 ,i have not space to tell you of the stranger's reception at the farmhouse4 ,there must have been joy in heaven over the returning repentant prodigal2 and what a ,thanksgiving that was6 ,when the next day the sons and daughters gathered for the feast1 and found this long-absent brother returned1 their cup of joy and thanksgiving seemed to overflow4 ,but ,i want to tell you of a bit of talk that took place when uncle ,john had gathered the children all about him in the afternoon4 ,they were examining the bicycle1 and he had been telling them some incidents of his long journey1 when suddenly he said1 8,now1 children1 you think this is a nice thing1 and you boys quite envy your old uncle its possession1 don't you80 8,not quite that1 ,i guess10 replied one of the older boys1 8but ,i'd like to own one40 8,well1 perhaps your father will buy this2 ,i want to sell it40 ,at this they all looked aghast to think their uncle would be willing to part with such a treasure4 8,just let me tell you something1 boys10 he continued2 8,i am forty years old1 and all ,i possess in the world is this bicycle and a very few dollars which ,i have earned since ,i became a sober man4 ,i have thrown away the best part of my life4 ,here are my brothers with comfortable homes all their own1 and ,i with nothing1 and all because of rum6 and ,i began by drinking cider over there at the mill4 ,boys1 let it alone2 don't begin1 and you will never be the slave of rum40 8,but1 uncle ,john10 said one1 8you are not a slave any more40 8,no2 but ,i shall carry the marks of my fetters to the grave4 ,i tell you it hasn't paid4 ,forty years old1 and nothing to show for my life6 ,sign the pledge1 boys2 sign the pledge1 and you will not have to say that when you are forty years old4 ,i trust you will have

was washing the dishes2 making a vigorous clash and spatter1 and setting down the cups so hard that had they been anything but the good solid iron-stone which they were1 they would certainly have suffered under the treatment4 ,margaret was noisy in all things1 but to-day the usual vigor of movement was manifestly increased by ill humor4 ,there was an ominous setting of a pair of firm lips1 and all her face was in a frown4 ,the knives and forks1 when their turn came1 seemed to increase her ire4 ,she rattled and flung them about with such reckless disregard of consequences that there landed1 presently1 a lovely tricolored globe of foam in the centre of ,john's arithmetic1 over which he was at this moment gloomily bending4 8,look here10 he said1 half fiercely1 half comically1 8quit that1 will you8 ,this thing is dry enough1 ,i know2 but it will take more than soap suds to dampen it40 8,take your book out of my way1 then4 ,what do you s'pose she would say to its being on the table and you bending double over it80 8,she may say just exactly what she pleases4 ,it will stay on the table until ,i get ready to take it off40 8,o yes6 you're very brave until you hear her coming1 and then you are as meek as ,moses40 8,now ,i say1 ,mag1 that's mean in you1 when you know well enough that all ,i'm after is to try to keep the peace40 8,peace6 there isn't enough of that article left in this house to make it worth while to try to save it4 ,i'm sick to death of the whole thing40 ,and the knives bumped about against a plate in the dish-pan with such force that the plate rebelled and flew into three pieces in its rage4 8,there goes another dish60 exclaimed ,west1 from the window corner where he was busily whittling2 8that makes the seventeenth this week1 doesn't it8 ,mag1 you are awful1 and no mistake40 ,then ,margaret's face flamed and her angry words burst their bounds3 8,i wish you would just mind your own business1 ,weston ,moore6 ,you think because you are eighteen months and seven days older than ,i1 that you can order me around like a slave40 8,whew6 bless my eyes6 ,how you do blaze out on a fellow6 ,who thought of ordering you around8 ,i should as soon think of ordering a cyclone4 ,i was only moralizing on the sweet and amiable mood you were in1 and the nice comfortable times we have in this house40 8,well1 you may let my moods alone if you please2 and my dishes too4 ,i've a right to break them all if ,i choose1 for all you4 ,i'd rather blaze up in a rage1 than be an everlasting tease and torment1 like you40 8,father'll have a word to say about the dishes1 ,i fancy1 my lady2 you might now and then think of him3 he isn't made of gold1 ,i s'pose you know1 and dishes cost money40 8,i do think of him a great deal oftener than you do1 you great lazy1 whittling1 whistling boy6 ,if it wasn't for him ,i'd run away1 and be rid of her and you1 and all the other nuisances1 dishes and all40 ,she paused in her clatter long enough to dash away two or three great tears which were plashing down her hot red cheeks4 8,as to that10 said the whittler1 as he slowly closed his jack-knife1 8perhaps you better seriously consider it4 ,i'm not sure but it would be more comfortable for all concerned2 especially the dishes40 ,then he spied the tears2 and seizing upon the dish towel which had been angrily flung across the back of a chair1 he rushed toward his sister1 exclaiming3 8,here1 let me wipe away those briny drops40 ,margaret's hands were in the dishwater again1 but she drew them forth all dripping with the greasy suds1 and brought the right one with a resounding slap1 about the curly head of the mocking boy4 ,just how he would have received it will not be known2 for the sudden jerk backwards of the left arm1 came against the full dish-pan1 already set too near the edge of the table1 and over it went1 deluging table1 floor1 and ,margaret's dress not only1 but pouring a greasy flood over the rows of bread tins carefully covered1 and set in a sheltered corner for the dough to rise4 ,margaret's exclamation of dismay was suddenly checked1 and the angry color flamed back into her eyes as the door leading into the hall opened1 and a woman appeared on the scene--a tall1 pale woman in a plain1 dark1 close-fitting calico dress1 without a collar1 and with dark1 almost black hair combed straight back from a plain face4 ,she gave a swift glance at the confusion1 and took in the situation4 8,quarreling again6 ,i might have known it4 ,were you three ever together in your lives1 without it8 ,john1 let the book alone until it dries2 if it had not been on the kitchen table where ,i told you never to have it1 the dishwater wouldn't have ruined it4 ,and the bread too6 ,i declare6 ,this is too bad60 ,these last words came in detached sentences as the extent of the misfortune grew upon her4 ,a quick snatch of the carefully tucked cloth1 now holding little pools of dishwater1 a comprehension of the utter ruin of the many loaves of bread1 and she turned upon the wrathful girl3 8,margaret1 go upstairs this minute1 and don't venture down again until you are called4 ,i'm sure ,i wish you need never come40 8,you can't begin to wish it as ,i do40 ,this was ,margaret's last bitter word as she shot out of the door4 ,john stood dolefully surveying his soaking arithmetic1 and his great sheet of now ruined examples1 carefully worked out4 ,the woman was already tucking up her calico dress ready for work1 but she had a message for him4 8,now you go somewhere2 don't let me see you until dinner time4 ,and mind1 ,i shall tell your father you have disobeyed me again40 ,as for ,weston the tease1 he had slipped swiftly and silently from the room with the entrance of the mother4 ,yes1 she was their mother4 ,at least1 she was their father's wife1 though none of the three had ever called her by the name of mother4 ,a curious position she held in the home1 bound by solemn pledge to do a mother's duty by these three children1 yet receiving from none of them a shred of the love1 or respect1 or true obedience1 which the name mother ought to call forth4 ,poor ,mrs4 ,moore6 ,i do hope you are sorry for her4 ,sorry for the children1 are you8 ,well1 so am ,i4 ,indeed it is true1 they every one need pity and help4 ,the question is1 ,will they get what they need8 ,upstairs1 angry ,margaret made haste to remove her much soiled dress1 eyes flashing1 and cheeks burning the while4 ,something more than the scenes we watched in the kitchen had to do with ,margaret's mood4 ,a green and prickly chestnut bur came whizzing into the room1 landing in the middle of her bed4 ,it called forth an angry exclamation4 ,here was some more of that tormenting ,west's work4 ,she would not stand it6 ,she made a rush for the window1 but a low1 merry laugh stopped her4 ,this was not ,west's laugh4 8,well10 said ,hester ,andrews1 from under the chestnut-tree1 8can you go80 8,no2 of course ,i can't4 ,i should think you might know without asking4 ,do ,i ever go anywhere now days80 8,it is just too mean for anything60 declared ,hester4 8,what reason does she give this time80 ,there was a peculiar emphasis on the word 8this10 which was meant to indicate that here was only one of the numberless times in which ,margaret ,moore had been shamefully treated1 ,margaret answered the tone as well as the words4 8,oh6 father says he can't have me out so late in the evening2 it isn't the thing for a little girl1 and he doesn't approve of sail boats1 anyway4 ,as if ,i didn't know where all that stuff came from60 8,the idea6 ,i declare1 it's a perfect shame4 ,wouldn't you like to see your own mother keeping you at home from places1 and treating you like a baby1 or a slave1 as she does80 8,don't you speak my mother's name the same day you do hers10 said ,margaret1 with fierce voice and flashing eyes4 8,well1 ,i'm sure ,i don't wonder that you feel so10 was ,hester's soothing answer4 8,i'm just as sorry for you as ,i can be2 ,i wonder sometimes that you don't run away4 ,every one says it comes harder on you1 because you are a girl3 the boys can keep out of her sight4 ,o ,mag6 ,i'm so sorry you can't go4 ,if your mother were only here1 what lovely times we could have80 ,and this was the help which ,margaret's most intimate friend brought her6 ,in point of fact1 these two knew no more of what the mourned mother would have done1 than did the squirrels up in the chestnut-tree4 ,she had been lying in the cemetery for a year when ,hester ,andrews' family moved into the town1 and ,margaret was only a busy little elf of not quite six1 when she received with gleeful laughter her mother's last kiss4 ,what did she know how the mother would treat the thirteen-year-old girl's longings for sail boats and evening parties8 ,downstairs1 ,mrs4 ,moore left to solitude and bitter thoughts1 worked with swift1 skilled fingers1 and set lips4 ,not long alone2 some one came to help her--a sister1 married1 and living at ease in a lovely home only a few streets away2 a younger sister who was sorry1 so blindly and unwisely sorry for the elder's harder lot1 that she could not keep back her words of indignant sympathy4 ,illustration3 8,,some ,,one ,,came ,,to ,,help ,,her40 8,it's a shame60 she said1 8just a burning shame1 the way you are treated by those children4 ,the idea of your being down on your knees mopping up the musses which they have made1 on purpose to vex you4 ,if ,i were you1 ,sophia1 ,i wouldn't endure it another day4 ,it is a wonder to me that their father permits such a state of things4 ,henry and ,i were speaking of it last night40 8,their father doesn't know the half that goes on10 ,mrs4 ,moore said1 speaking quickly in defence of her husband4 8,what is the use8 ,we live in an uproar all the time1 as it is4 ,and after all1 ,emma1 they are his children40 8,i don't care4 ,you are his wife4 ,you owe something to your self respect4 ,henry thinks so too2 he thinks it is a shame4 ,why do you go on the floor and clean after them8 ,isn't that girl as able to mop up her dishwater as you are80 ,mrs4 ,moore wrung the wet1 greasy cloth with a nervous grip1 letting some of the soiled drops trickle down her arm1 in her haste1 and answered with eyes that glowed3 8,to tell the truth1 ,i would scrub the floor after her all day1 for the sake of getting her out of my sight for an hour40 ,and this was the help ,mrs4 ,moore received4 ,,the ,,mission ,,of ,a ,,gray ,,woollen ,,sock4 ,illustration3 ,v,,arious exclamations greeted ,nell ,erwin as she entered the schoolroom and drew out her work--a coarse gray woollen sock4 ,it was 8,fancy ,friday0 at ,daisy ,hill ,seminary--something peculiar to the place4 ,three ,fridays out of the month were spent in the customary elocutionary exercises1 but the afternoon of the fourth was spent in a cosey1 informal way1 the girls1 both day scholars and boarders1 bringing their fancy work1 and ,madam ,lane reading to them from some standard work4 ,at the present time she was in the midst of a translation of the ,iliad1 but ,i fear that in spite of ,madam's clear and beautiful rendition1 8,jove1 the cloud-gatherer10 8,juno1 the ox-eyed10 and the other ,homeric worthies1 were less fascinating than 8rick-rack0 and 8,kensington stitches40 ,on this particular ,friday1 there was a brilliant display of fancy work4 ,helen ,grant was embroidering a pair of slippers--splendid purple and yellow pansies2 ,lulu ,fletcher a sofa pillow--a cluster of lilies on cardinal satin2 ,katie ,lee was at work on an elaborate stand-spread2 ,mary ,morse was crocheting a fleecy white shawl2 ,carrie ,evans was making an applique bracket2 a dozen or so girls were deep in the delightful mysteries of 8crazy quilts02 and--but1 dear me6 ,i have not the time to enumerate all the beautiful things6 ,seats and desks were covered with a dazzling array of silks and worsteds4 ,so you see it was no wonder that ,nell's humble gray sock created such a sensation4 ,however1 though she blushed a little at the pleasantries of her mates1 she took her seat and courageously set to work4 8,why1 ,nell6 ,i thought you were going to bring that lovely foot-rest60 said ,helen ,grant4 8,you told me yesterday that you were going to finish it to-day4 ,have you it already done80 8,o no60 8,then why under the sun didn't you bring it instead of this solemn old sock60 ,nell blushed still redder1 then she said hesitatingly1 8,well1 you see1 girls1 ,i did think ,i'd bring the foot-rest4 ,in fact ,i had it all done up in my work-bag1 and then ,i remembered that ,i would need a pair of scissors4 ,so ,i went to mother's work-basket1 and1 girls1 in rummaging around there1 ,i got an idea60 8,an idea in a work-basket6 ,how very remarkable6 ,now ,i shall know where to go when ,i am obliged to write a composition and can't think of anything to say60 said ,maude ,hasket4 8,what ,i mean is this10 said ,nell earnestly2 8,i found that work-basket full--yes1 full to overflowing--with things to mend1 make and fix6 ,there were ,billy's mittens to mend2 the baby's petticoats to be shortened2 buttons to be sewed on ,kitty's apron2 a patch in ,tom's jacket1 and all for my dear little mother's one pair of tired hands6 ,and all to be done this afternoon or evening6 ,i tell you1 girls1 ,i felt ashamed when ,i looked at my own nonsensical piece of fancywork6 ,and then and there ,i made up my mind to do something towards lessening the contents of that basket4 ,so ,i grabbed up this sock1 for ,i remembered hearing mother say only a few days ago that father needed a new pair4 ,i'm not much of a hand at knitting1 but ,i'll do all ,i can this afternoon1 working on the leg1 and when ,i get home to-night1 mother'll show me about fixing the heel40 ,there was a short silence4 ,presently ,maude said1 8,well1 girls1 ,i dare say the most of us have mothers whose work-baskets are in the condition of the one ,nell has described6 ,i've no doubt that ,i can find one in my own home6 ,there are six of us children--four younger than myself4 ,it would take one woman's time to keep our little ,ben in anything like decent order6 ,he is a veritable ,peggotty for button-bursting6 ,and sister ,flo is almost as bad6 ,she's a perfect ,tomboy6 ,tears regular barn-door holes in her apron60 8,well1 it's pretty much the same at our house10 observed ,maggie ,gray4 8,of course there are not so many of us1 but still mother's sewing1 mending and darning about all the time40 8,and mine too60 said ,laura ,harris4 8,it was only last evening that ,i heard father ask mother if she wouldn't go to the lecture with him1 and she said she would like to very much1 but couldn't go1 because she had to patch ,jack's trousers so that he could wear them to school the next day4 ,and ,i sat there like an unfeeling wretch1 working on a silly1 good-for-nothing lamp-mat6 ,and mother did look so tired and wistful1 poor darling6 ,father seemed disappointed too4 ,now ,i might have offered to do the patching1 and so given her a chance to go4 ,it would have done her so much good60 8,well10 said ,maude briskly1 8,i guess we're all in the same fix6 ,we have been going on and doing our own sweet wills1 and ,i for one propose that we make a change6 ,suppose we all agree to go to our respective mother's mending-basket and get work from it for our next ,fancy ,friday80 8,all right6 ,we will60 chimed the others4 ,further conversation on the subject was put an end to by the entrance of ,madam1 ,iliad in hand1 and for the next hour1 the girls were regaled by the account of ,achilles dragging the body of ,hector nine times around the walls of ,troy4 8,four60 chimed the great clock in the hall4 8,young ladies1 you are dismissed10 said ,madam1 closing her book4 8,next time1 ,i think we will have a little prose instead of poetry4 ,it will be a change1 you know4 ,good afternoon60 8,prose instead of poetry10 ,maude repeated as they put on their wraps4 8,and we'll have the prose of sewing instead of its poetry1 won't we80 ,and ,nell answered by a wave of the gray woollen sock4 8,you dear old sock60 she whispered as she rolled it up1 8how ,i did hate to bring you this afternoon1 for ,i was so afraid the girls would make piles of fun6 ,but it all turned out nicely1 after all1 and you had a mission1 didn't you1 you humble thing60

too1 and was looking after them4 ,she waved her hand with another kiss1 and disappeared around the corner4 ,on they went their weary way and talked as to what they should agree to ask4 ,they thought of a turkey and cranberries and mince pie as it used to be when papa was 8right0 and had work and brought home money1 and mamma bought what she liked4 ,but a turkey and no papa there to eat it with them1 or1 if there1 to curse1 and mamma crying6 that would be no ,thanksgiving for them4 ,besides1 how could they expect a turkey with no money or friends8 and they two walked on together1 wondering

sick1 to whom little attentions are very gratifying4 ,each one of us could do something to cheer the many sick-rooms if we faithfully endeavored so to do1 and always kept in mind the motto of 8,the

in her voice as she spoke1 8,mr4 ,hart is going with us2 ,i don't know how long he will stay4 ,i'm afraid there is very little on ,monteagle to hold him40 ,two children sat on the extreme end of the broken steps2 one was pale1 thin1 hollow-eyed and sorrowful4 ,the other was rosy-cheeked1 chubby1 and dirty4 ,the pale one was perhaps twelve years old2 the other1 somewhat younger4 8,only hear that name60 said the hollow-eyed girl4 8,monteagle6 doesn't it make you feel cool just to think it over80 8,i didn't think it over10 said ,rosy ,cheek4 8,what is it1 and where is it80 8,i don't know where

be cool and still8 ,oh6 how hot it is6 ,o dear me60 ,there was such a world of longing and weariness in the sentence1 that ,mrs4 ,hammond turned and looked curiously at the girl2 then uttered a little exclamation of surprise1 and perhaps dismay4 8,who is that girl1 and what is the matter with her80 ,the man who was busy with a troublesome strap which had to do with ,mrs4 ,hammond's phaeton1 glanced up for a moment1 then said3 8,that is my girl1 ma'am1 if you mean the pale one4 ,there ain't anything the matter with her now1 only weakness1 the doctor says4 ,she's had the fever--been dreadful sick4 ,there was a spell when ,i thought she wouldn't pull through1 nohow1 but she did1 up to a certain p'int1 there she stopped1 and there she hangs--jest crawls about all day2 doesn't eat nothing1 and doesn't sleep nights1 only off and on1 you know4 ,i dunno what to do with her40 ,mrs4 ,hammond looked again at the girl who had dropped into a listless attitude1 a very photograph of discouraged weakness4 ,the rosy-cheeked younger one in a much soiled dress had slipped away4 ,mrs4 ,hammond looked from the girl to the low1 small1 tumble-down building on the steps of which she sat1 imagined the room in which she must spend her nights1 imagined the table at which she must sit down to eat her 8nothing10 and murmured1 8,poor thing60 with another long-drawn sigh4 ,how could one be expected to gain strength in such a home as that must be8 8,who takes care of you and your daughter80 ,illustration3 ,,baby ,,ethel4 ,she had turned again to the man at the carriage4 ,he gave a short half-laugh

the best ,i could1 since she got on her feet again2 and when she was sick1 the neighbors was kind4 ,the doctor was1 too--uncommon kind2 stayed the most of two nights himself1 and brought his woman once or twice to see her2 but she's gone now1 up to ,monteagle1 along with the rest of the world4 ,i suppose it is cool up there1 ma'am80 8,yes10 said ,mrs4 ,hammond1 with another sigh4 8,it is cool there2 poor thing6 ,i don't see how she is ever to get well in such a place40 ,this last1 in undertone2 then louder3 8,she is ,northern born1 too1 ,i think you said80 8,who1 ma'am1 the girl8 ,o yes2 we're from the ,north40 ,it was the man's turn to sigh now4 8,we come down here to try the climate for her mother--but it didn't do2 we came too late1 or something4 ,the mother died the very next summer1 and we've had to pull along alone4 ,there1 ma'am1 ,i think that buckle is all right now2 it won't come out again of itself in a hurry4 ,it's lucky ,i happened to be around2 it might have made you trouble4 ,why1 no1 ma'am1 ,i don't want no pay for a job like that2 it didn't take ten minutes1 and it ain't in my line anyhow40 8,what can she do when she is well80 asked ,mrs4 ,hammond1 holding out the shining silver4 8,what1 my girl8 ,why1 as to that1 ,i dunno as she can be said to know how to do anything4 ,she works along as well as she can2 and we make out to live1 but you see it is pretty nigh four years since her mother died2 and she was a young thing then4 ,she ain't had no chance4 ,i ain't got no change1 ,mis' ,hammond1 and ,i don't want no pay1 neither40 8,i don't want

carefully drew the carriage around the curve1 his mistress heard a weak1 petulant voice say3 8,o father1 it is so hot2 ,i don't know what to do40 8,poor thing60 said ,mrs4 ,hammond for the third time1 8,i don't know what she will do4 ,it is very warm indeed4 ,she thinks ,monteagle sounds like ,heaven4 ,i presume it would seem almost like ,heaven to her4 ,if there was anything she could do0--and then ,mrs4 ,hammond looked at her watch1 and spoke sharply to the fat pony1 and they went to the house at a brisk trot4 ,it was a lovely home4 ,before even the pony turned in at the tree-lined carriage drive which wound quite around the house1 you would have known by the air of quiet elegance which hung gracefully over everything in sight1 that you were coming to a home that commanded money and culture4 ,in the wide handsome hall everything was in order1 and the rooms opening from them were cool1 and dark1 and elegant4 ,yet ,mrs4 ,hammond as she dropped sun hat and umbrella on a white sofa1 and trailed her white morning shawl over the soft carpet toward an easy chair1 said3 8,o dear6 it is warm everywhere4 ,i wish we were on the mountain this minute40 ,even as she spoke1 she thought of that hollow-eyed ,west girl again4 ,when1 after a few minutes of rest1 she mounted the long winding flight of stairs to the nursery1 the sight which met her eyes was not calculated to cool her4 ,miss ,ethel ,hammond was on an investigating tour4 ,at this particular minute she belonged in a wide white crib rolled into the coolest1 shadiest corner of the northwestern veranda1 eyes closed1 lovely face shaded from intruding bugs and flies by a network of delicate creamy lace1 and ,jennette1 the nurse1 within easy range of the treasure4 ,where ,jennette was just now1 was not apparent1 but ,miss ,ethel was certainly not in her crib4 ,her eyes were very wide open1 and she had the room to herself4 ,by dint of much energy1 she had succeeded in pulling one of the heavy chairs before the object of her most intense desire1 and1 climbing in1 was in the act of leaning forward to grasp it1 when ,mrs4 ,hammond opened the door4 8,it0 was a rare and wonderfully mounted clock1 heavy enough to put ,ethel's busy inquiring brain at rest forever1 should the strong little hands succeed in pulling it over on her2 or1 failing in that1 should she lose her balance and pitch head-first against the corner of the cruel marble4 ,no time for exclamations2 rather1 enough presence of mind to avoid them4 ,with swift1 silent steps she moved across the room2 a long room1 and seeming to the startled mother miles long1 just then4 ,a moment more and she had the wide-awake1 energetic1 struggling1 disappointed baby in her arms4 ,so near to its life-purpose only to be thwarted6 ,the first thing the mother did1 was to kiss ,ethel2 though her mouth was wide open1 and from it were issuing loud1 disappointed yells4 ,the next thing was to think aloud3 8,that is as much confidence as ,i was afraid ,i could place in ,jennette4 ,she is good for ruffling1 and tucking1 and ironing the baby's dresses1 but not for watching her40 ,the next was to say within her heart1 8,i should think she might be able to help keep a baby out of mischief40 ,but this last thought was not about ,jennette4 ,,some ,,remarkable ,,women4 ,s4--,,smith1 ,,mrs4 ,,hannah ,,whitall4 ,illustration3 ,b,,orn and reared in a

herself1 this has been said3 8,he was a bright1 cheery1 joyous1 yet ,cromwellian soldier1 clapped by mistake under the broad brim of a ,quaker1 but this extinguisher was never able to hide his gladsome piety1 and the daughter is her father over again40 ,her husband is a partner in the firm of ,whitall1 ,tatum ,co4 ,and just here ,i want to tell you something which ,i learned the other day regarding the temperance principles of this firm4 ,their business is the manufacture of white glass2 theirs being the largest establishment of the kind in the world4 ,so consistent and loyal to the cause of temperance are these men1 that no orders for glass ware are accepted from men who will use the bottles and glasses for rum in any of its guises6 ,doubtless they sometimes lose money by refusing large orders1 but it is a fact that it sometimes costs something to be consistent4 ,nevertheless1 let us be consistent--it pays in the long run6 ,mrs4 ,smith is well known to the world of ,christians as ,h4 ,w4 ,s4 ,you may have seen in your mother's workbasket1 or found slipped between the leaves of her ,bible or other favorite book of devotion1 little tracts bearing this signature4

hall in ,london4 ,of her powers as a public speaker1 an ,english paper says3 8,her freshness1 her profound insight1 are as remarkable as her surprising fluency40 ,i think it was in a little paper called ,times of ,refreshing1 that an article appeared which described the effect of her addresses upon an audience as something remarkable4 ,saying that1 however old and worn the topic1 she by her vigorous way of presenting the truth seemed to make it over new1 and the secret of her power is given in five words3 8consecrated talent and careful research40 ,one of her children says of her3 8,she seems to me perfectly unselfish1 and this she carries into the smallest details40 ,of how many of us can this be said1 ,i wonder6 ,speaking of the sorrows and the bereavements which ,mrs4 ,smith has

puzzling one1 ,how shall we reach the masses8 ,men bound by the chains of the drink habit were not likely to come voluntarily within their influence4 ,then there was but one answer to the question3 8,go to them60 ,and they went1 and it is this work of carrying the ,gospel story to the poor drunkard1 that we call evangelistic work4 ,mrs4 ,smith tells us how she became identified with the ,w4 ,c4

places4 ,some of you have welcomed him at your own homes2 his smiles and his talks are among the things which will be always1 so long as you live1 a pleasant memory4 ,what can ,i tell you about him that you do not already know8 ,yet ,i am not willing that another name should take the place of this1 and therefore we will talk a little together of this friend of the young people1 and idol of the older people4 ,dr4 ,vincent's early home was in the ,sunny ,south4 8,in the land of orange blossoms and magnolia groves10 he first saw the light4 ,six years of his life were spent in the home of the flowers2 then the family came ,north and settled in ,pennsylvania4 ,like the mothers of many of our great men1 ,john ,h4 ,vincent's mother might fill a worthy place in our list of ,remarkable ,women4 ,she is described as 8patient1 amiable1 living as though she belonged to heaven rather than earth4 ,often at the twilight hour1 especially on ,sundays1 she would take her children to her own room1 and there sweetly and tenderly tell them about the life to come1 and point out their faults and spiritual needs40 ,mrs4 ,bolton in her sketch of ,dr4 ,vincent published two or three years since1 gives some amusing incidents of the childhood of our ,great ,man4 ,i quote from memory1 but ,i think it is she who tells the story of the boy of six years gathering the children of the neighborhood1 and after getting them quiet by threatening them with the lash of a whip1 he would preach to them4 ,and so far did his zeal carry him1 that upon one occasion he tore into several parts a small red-covered hymn book1 which he valued as the gift of his pastor1 and distributed the pieces through his audience1 doubtless thinking it highly important that all should be supplied with hymn books4 ,whether they all sang together from the different parts of the book given them1 we are not informed4 ,very early in life the boy seems to have decided that he would do something with his life worth while2 that he would do that which should help others1 and realizing that there is a world to be saved1 he grew up with the hope of one day becoming a minister4 ,his studies were carried on for a time at home1 afterwards at a neighboring academy4 ,later he engaged in teaching1 continuing his studies by himself1 and finally he had fitted himself for college4 ,not every boy would have the will and perseverance to carry on a course of study while teaching six hours or more each day4 ,however1 he did not finish his college course4 ,not for any want of persistence1 neither did he consider such a course unimportant4 ,but he was anxious to be about his ,master's work1 and thus it was that before he was twenty-one years old he set out to preach 8on a thirty-mile circuit1 over the mountains and through the valleys of ,luzerne ,county1 ,pennsylvania40 ,he travelled on horseback1 studying and thinking out his sermons as he journeyed4 ,everybody1 young and old1 were glad to see his bright1 smiling face and feel the warm grasp of his hand4 ,it has been said that 8he never shook hands with the tips of his fingers1 nor preached dry sermons40 ,it was during this period of his life that his mother whose parting words when he went out into the world were1 8,my son1 live near to ,god2 live near to ,god10 went to be with ,god4 ,one near the throne in heaven1 the other living near the throne on earth2 is this the secret of ,john ,h4 ,vincent's success in the ,lord's vineyard8 ,at length he became a pastor1 preaching for a few years in ,new ,jersey1 afterwards in the vicinity of ,chicago4 ,but all the time he was busy with plans of an educational character4 ,these plans which were at first carried out in the establishing of ,saturday afternoon classes of young people1 called ,palestine ,classes1 with the purpose of studying about the ,holy ,land1 have at length developed a ,chautauqua4 ,i need not tell you about ,chautauqua2 about the ,c4 ,l4 ,s4 ,c41 nor about the ,c4 ,y4 ,f4 ,r4 ,u42 you do not need to be told about the town and country clubs1 nor about the society of ,christian ethics4 ,many of you have listened to those ,sunday afternoon talks in the ,children's ,temple1 and afterwards gone to the vesper service in the ,hall of ,philosophy4 ,i ought to tell you that although ,dr4 ,vincent postponed his college course1 he never gave it up1 but outside college walls1 he continued his studies by himself1 even in the midst of a busy life1 until by regular examinations he took his degrees1 and also passed through the regular theological course of study of the ,methodist ,episcopal ,church1 to which denomination he belongs4 ,to the boys especially ,i recommend the study of the life and character of ,dr4 ,vincent4 ,a gentleman remarked in my hearing the other day1 8probably no man living is exerting a wider influence over the hearts and minds of the young people than ,dr4 ,vincent60 ,and ,i thought1 what a responsibility6 and how thankful the fathers and mothers should be that he is just the man he is2 that his influence is ever on the side of truth and right2 that his aim is to uplift1 and that ,christ is ever the centre of his thought4 ,to see and hear ,dr4 ,vincent is to understand something of the secret of his power4 ,the sympathy which manifests itself in every look and tone1 the enthusiasm with which he enters into his work1 and which tides him over the hard places1 and the personal magnetism--which makes you1 whether you will or not2 these qualities1 sanctified and consecrated1 make the man a power for good4 _/99 ,,faye

who thought it the most beautiful place in all the world to begin housekeeping in4 ,then it was a dingy yellow1 with faded green blinds2 and now the same forlorn attempt at coloring greeted all passers-by4 ,to be sure it had been painted many times in the interim1 but always the same hue was chosen1 so that to the oldest inhabitant it was the best known landmark for miles around4 ,the

resenting the implication1 let the hatchet fly on the back of the old log to show how strong he was in such a masterful style that the chips flew in every direction1 and ,rosalie paused to shake them

gone around1 through a great deal of trouble1 trying to save people from harm4 ,he did nothing to please only ,himself1 but wanted to please his ,father and those who loved ,him4 ,gretchen understood one other thing--that every one else could do as this ,prince did1 and help other people as ,he had done1 because ,he loved them so4 ,if they did this they would be pleasing ,him4 ,so when she reached home1 ,gretchen told her mother what she had heard1 and asked her to explain it4 8,truly1 child10 said the ,frau ,van ,cortlandt1 8,i remember very little that ,i used to hear about it1 but it's all true--what he said40 8,but1 mother1 how can we all1 or a poor little mdchen like me1 please this great ,prince80 asked ,gretchen4 8,ach1 child60 said the good ,frau1 8,i remember very little about it1 but this ,i know--that every little boy and girl in the ,fatherland1 no matter how poor or small they are1 can please this ,prince1 and the ,king1 ,his ,father1 by doing something good and kind40 8,i should like to do something for ,him1 mother1 if ,he is as good as the man said10 replied ,gretchen4 99 99 99 99 99 ,that is the first part of the story4 ,the next part came nearly a week later1 when there was to be a great procession through the city4 ,there were proclamations all over the city1 saying that the 8,kaiser ,wilhelm10 their emperor1 was to march through the streets1 with his soldiers and guards in full uniform1 and the drums were to beat1 and the bugles were to blow1 and the houses were to be decorated with flags1 in honor of the procession4 ,our little mdchen was1 of course1 in a flutter of delight about it1 especially when she found they were to march down their street1 and past their tenement-house1 on the way to the ,knigstrasse4 ,how delightful6 ,she would see the great army of ,germany1 and the great ,kaiser ,william1 march by their door6 ,when the eventful morning came1 everything was bright and gay-looking1 and the sidewalks were crowded with people who wished to see the procession4 ,when the ,van ,cortlandts' bed had been made1 the breakfast dishes cleared away1 and the two rooms nicely swept and dusted 7for it is to be believed that if the ,frau ,van ,cortlandt had known the end of the world was to come in an hour1 she would not have delayed her morning's work a moment7 ,gretchen and her mother were ready to watch and wait1 with the remainder of the city4 ,but alas1 and alas4 ,no view was to be had from their windows1 because of the crowd outside1 and no room could be found outside4 ,no one would give up their place4 ,how much ,gretchen wished for the ,herr ,van ,breyck1 their only friend1 who would take her in his strong arms1 and find a place for her1 but he was away at ,frankfort1 and what should she do8 ,suddenly she thought of the attic balcony6 ,it was a little bit of a one1 and would hold but one person4 ,gretchen's mother could not go up the stairs1 so she slipped up to the unoccupied garret1 and out on the balcony1 from which she could look down over the heads of the people1 and see the ,emperor and his troops1 as nicely as she could wish4 ,she was leaning lazily over the edge of the balcony when she chanced to see1 in the middle of the road1 a poor old woman1 who was vainly trying to get a good place amid the crowd4 ,among those people there was little chance for her1 and ,gretchen pitied her4 ,illustration3 ,,berlin3 ,,statue ,,of ,,frederic ,,the ,,great4 8,poor thing60 she said4 8,i think0--at this moment she suddenly stopped1 startled by a thought which came into her mind1 and remained silent quite a while4 ,what she was thinking was something like this3 8,suppose ,i should ask her to come up on the balcony8 ,then ,i couldn't see the procession at all--and that wouldn't do1 after all my trouble to get a good place4 ,i wonder if that would be doing what the man said--not pleasing myself8 ,maybe it would1 but then it is such a little thing that ,i'm sure the ,king wouldn't hear of it4 ,if ,i could only please ,him some great way1 how nice it would be60 ,but ,i am glad to tell you1 and am sure you will be glad to hear1 that after this talk with herself1 the little girl made her way down to where the old lady was looking about her4 8,good ,frau10 she said1 as the old lady turned to look at her1 8,i have a place for you to see the procession2 will you come with me80 ,through the door1 up the three flights of stairs1 went the little light figure1 followed by the older and feeble one4 8,i am afraid1 good ,frau1 these stairs will tire you10 said ,gretchen1 8but it is the only place there is40 ,a chair was then brought up from the ,frau ,van ,cortlandt's own kitchen1 on which the old lady seated herself1 after which ,gretchen went to the bedroom down-stairs1 and throwing herself on the bed1 burst into a flood of tears4 8,i can't help it10 she sobbed2 8,i did so want to see the procession6 ,but ,i am not sorry1 if the ,prince knows40 ,then she dried her eyes and went to the door1 where she could see nothing but the backs of the people in front of it4 ,the ,ellsworths had been in ,berlin some weeks1 and having seen all they wanted to of the city1 were about ready to go back to ,america1 but they stayed longer than they otherwise would have done1 for the purpose of seeing the procession4 ,and then1 as ,amelia said1 8it was just perfectly horrid10 that1 after all1 the soldiers were not to pass in front of their hotel4 8,i am determined to see the procession10 said ,mrs4 ,ellsworth4 8,and so am ,i10 said ,amelia4 ,nevertheless1 they were acquainted with no one in ,berlin who would offer them a place1 and they couldn't well stand in the streets1 8with the rabble10 said ,mrs4 ,ellsworth4 8,blees1 your honors10 said ,hans1 their guide and interpreter1 8,i haf zomedings teu zay4 ,mein schwester hab ein house in der ,steinstrasse1 mit ein gut--vat you gall it--palgonie1 vair you kon go1 if blees you40 8,let's go1 mother60 said ,amelia1 8anything is better than not seeing the procession1 when we stayed in the city on purpose40 ,and ,hans1 not in the least minding the doubtful compliment to his 8schwester's house10 agreed to drive them around there early enough to keep out of the crowd4 ,so it came to pass that on the balcony of the ,frau ,krant's house1 across the street from the ,frau ,van ,cortlandt's1 were seated1 the morning of the procession1 ,mrs4 ,ellsworth1 her daughter ,amelia1 and her sister ,julia4 8,mamma10 said ,amelia1 8look at that cute little ,german girl across the street up on that mite of a balcony4 ,see6 she has gone down now40 ,sometime later1 she had more remarks to make4 8,mamma1 that little girl went down and got a poor old woman to take her place on the balcony--see her up there--and she is down now where she can't see a thing40 8,is it possible60 said ,mrs4 ,ellsworth2 8that is an act of self-denial one doesn't often see in a child4 ,are you sure she hasn't a better place80 8,yes1 mamma1 there she is1 down by the door1 where she can't see anything1 ,i know40 8,then10 said ,mrs4 ,ellsworth1 8,i am going to have her come up here4 ,there is room between ,julia and me4 ,hans60 and that individual1 who had been talking with his 8schwester0 inside1 appeared4 8,tell that little ,german girl in the door across the road1 that ,i would like to see her up here40 8,mamma60 said ,amelia4 8,ja60 said ,hans1 in his surprise returning to the use of his native tongue4 8,she looks very neat and nice1 ,amelia10 said ,mrs4 ,ellsworth4 ,so it happened that our heroine ,gretchen was confronted by a dignified-looking personage of her race1 who informed her that a ,frau from ,america desired her presence in the balcony across the street4 ,gretchen was frightened1 and vaguely wondered if she had in any way committed treason against the ,united ,states ,government1 but her trembling limbs carried her to the ,frau ,krant's balcony1 where ,mrs4 ,ellsworth questioned her1 through her interpreter4 ,the story all came out1 in ,german and in ,english1 how ,gretchen had given up her place because of the ,king and his ,son1 whom she wanted to please4 ,said she1 8,i am only a little mdchen1 but ,i thought ,he might know40 ,by this time there came the sound of drum and fife and martial footsteps1 from around the corner1 and the eyes of all on ,steinstrasse were turned toward the place whence the sound proceeded4 ,mrs4 ,ellsworth desired ,hans to tell the little girl she could stay where she was until the procession passed1 thus relieving her fears that she was to be arrested for treason1 and she1 in turn1 committed her overwhelming thanks to the good ,frau for a good place to stand4 ,that isn't the end1 though ,i am almost through4 ,gretchen says she would have been satisfied without a place on the balcony1 or anything else1 if she could have known that she pleased the ,king and his ,son by not pleasing herself1 but that didn't hinder her being very thankful that she could see the ,emperor and his troops1 and ,mrs4 ,ellsworth made up her mind that she wanted a nice little ,german girl to take home to ,america1 and educate and help in various ways1 in return for her services1 and a nice ,german woman who could do her washing1 and live with her1 too4 ,so the week after the procession found the ,frau ,van ,cortlandt and her daughter bidding the ,herr ,van ,breyck good-by1 as they boarded the steamer bound for ,america1 at the ,hamburg wharves4 ,gretchen and her mother are still living with the ,ellsworths1 and though they are sometimes a little homesick for the 8,fatherland10 they are enjoying their home in ,america very much4 ,the week after they reached home they ate the ,thanksgiving dinner1 with a huge turkey and its regular belongings1 and though they had never been used to the day at home1 ,gretchen and her mother were as thankful1 they thought1 as anyone could have been4 ,and the way to be happy and thankful as they would tell you1 is to try to make others so4 8,and it all came about10 said ,mrs4 ,ellsworth1 8because of that kind and unselfish act of yours1 ,gretchen40 8,i am only a little mdchen10 said ,gretchen1 8but ,i pleased not myself1 and the ,king saw40 _/99 ,,paranete4 99_/ ,,celebrated ,,trees4 ,,the chestnut-tree at ,mt4 ,etna1 is one hundred and ninety-six feet in circumference1 and its branches are like trees4 ,for ages have
