"what a raekfet; can't you contrive to

Mary glanced nervoualy round In qneat

Knight, and whlapered, a aba pointed

"Don't be afeerd," aald Mr. Kulghtj

And ba led ber toward, tile red-whlaker-d

"Here, Parker," aald he, "I'v brought
them children I waa teltin' you. about.
You've room for 'em, I a'poae?"
"Why, ye-ea, w can work It ao'a to
maka room."
They now entered the kitchen. Mary
wa vary tired with holding Alice ao
long, and, alnking into a chair near the
window, aba would bare cried; but there
wa a tlghtneea In her throat, and a prol
an re abont ber head and eyea which kept
tha teara from flowing. Kha preaaed ber
handa tightly and laid, "Oh, I hop I
han't faint."
"To be aura you won't," aald a loud,
barah voice, and Inatautly large drop of
water were thrown la ber face, while
lb aanie olc continued: "Yoo don't
have auch apell often, I hope, for Iord
know I don't want any mora fltty on.-
here."
"No, ma'am," aald Mary, meekly; and
looking up, aha aaw before her a tall,
quire-backed, maaculina looking wom
an, who wora a very abort dreaa, and a
very hlgh-crowued cap, faatened under
her chin with bowa of aky-blue ribbon.
Mary aecrotly hoped ahe would not prove
.to b Mra. Parker, the wife of tha over
aeer. 8 tie waa aoon relieved of ber fear
by the overaeer bimaelf, who aald, "Polly,.
1 don't aee any other way bnt you'll bava
to take tneae children into tha room next
to yourn. The baby worrlea a good deal,
and auch thinga trouble my wife, now
ahe'a lck." . ...-'.-
The pereon addreaaed aa "Polly" gave
her ahoitlder an augry jerk, and Kick
ing tha pin on the walat of her dreaa,
replied, "8o, I a'po lt' no matter if
I'm kept awake all night, and worried
to death. But I gueaa you'd find there'd

Alice, who, not liking her handliug, kick
ed ao vigorously that ahe wa aoon drop
lied, Polly remarking that "ahe waa
migbty atrong In her leg for a alck
baby." ; :
After pining np a dark atairway they
came i a door, which opened under the
garret ataira, and Mary waa Mart led by
a voice which aeemed to be almoat over
her head, and which, between a aneer
aud a hlaa, called out, "See where the
Immaculate Mia Grundy come!" Mary
aprang in terror to Polly'a aide.
"Oh. what ia It?" ahe laid. "Ia It
Patayr' 7 , ;
"PatayT waa the tart reply. " Bhe nev
er I aucy tika that. It'a Sal Furbuah."
Mary aaked who Sal Furbush waa.
and waa told aba waa one of the poor
inaana Inmate. She aubaequentty learn
ed that Bal waa perfectly harmleaa, and
truck op quite a friendship with ber.
At preent Mary fallowed her guide until
they came to a longer and lighter ball,
or "apaceway," aa It ia frequently called
In New England. On each aid of thla
there were doora opening Into amall sleep
ing rooma, and Iuto one of theae Polly
led her companion, aaylng, aa she did ao,
"Thla I your room, and it a a great fa
vor to yon to be ao near me. But mind,
that child : muatn't cry and keep tno
awake night, for If ahe doea, maybe
you'll have to move iuto that other apace,
where we beard the laugh." '
Mary thought ahe would rather do any
thing than that. Bhe alao felt a great
curiosity to know who her companion
waa, o he at last ventured to aak, "Do
you live here, Mlaa Polly?"
"Why, ye. I'm staying here for a
apell now; kind of seeing thing. . My
nam Isn't Polly. It's Mary (Jrnndy, am!
imiehow folk have got to nicknaming
m ,1'olly, but It II look more mannerly
iu you to call me Mra. Urundy; but what
am I thinking of? . The folk must have
their auppcr."
. That night Alice, who missed ber cra
dle, wa unusually restless, and Mary,
remembering Mra. Crundy'a threat, car
ried her In her arms until after midnight.
Then, without undressing, she threw her-
aclf upon tha bed, aud for the first time
tn many ,weeke dreamed of Georg and
hla parting promise to see fcer again. The
next morning when she awoke, the clouds
were pouring rain. "Billy won't come
to-dav." was her first thought, and,
throwing herself npon the floor, she burst
Into tears, wishing, as she had once
done before, that she had died with her
mother. . -
Iu the midst of her grief the door was
pushed hastily open, and Mra. Grundy'a
harsh voice exclaimed, "Wall, ao you are
np at last, hey? I didn't know but yoii
waa goln' to take it upon you to sleep
over, but that don't answer here. Do you
think we'a goln' to support you In idle
ness?" 'i f , ,
Here, touched perhaps by the pale,
1 tearful face, uplifted to hera, Mrs. Grun
dy'a voice softened, and In a milder tone
she added, "We won't mind, about it, aoe
lu' it's the first morning; but, come
yon must le hungry by turn time. :
'Mnry glanced at Alice. .She wa sleep-
W.sweetly, and, though there seemed to
be no reason, she still lingered.
"What r ynu waiting for?" asked
Sirs. Grundy, and Mary, with aome nest
tatlon. ahswered, "I haven t aald my
prayers yet,"
A change passed suddenly over Mrs,
riiundv'a face, and she turned away
without 'a word. When ahe was gone
Mary foil on her knees, and though the
Word she-uttered were addressed mora
to her mother than to God, 'ah felt com
forted, -aftdf Using up,: sliced for the
kitchen. It waa a motiey-graop wun-u
she found assembled around the break,
fast table, and aa ah entered the room
a man called Unci i otcr amueu on nor,
8T. IIEKCNS, OREGON, V FRIDAY,
aaylng, "Coma bar,, little daughter, and
let ma touch you with the ton of my
fourth finger."
About noon tb clouds broke away,
while' her, and there a patch of bright
blue aky wa to b seen. But tb road
were so muddy that Mary bad no hope
of Billy' coming, and thla It was, per
haps, which mad tha dinner diahe so
bard to wash, and which mad ber cry
when told that all tha knives and fork
must ba scoured, tba teakettle wiped and
set with It noa north, lu what Mr.
Urundy called tba "Pout Hole," and
which proved proved to be a place under
the atalra, where pot, kettle and iron
war generally were kept.
All thing bava an end, and o did tb
icourlug, in apite of Mary'a feara to the
contrary, and then watching a time when
Mra. Grundy did not ea ber, ha stol
away upstairs.' Taking Alice on ber lap,
ahe sat down by tha open window where
the damp air cooled and molatened ber
dualled faca. Tba rain waa over, and
aero the meadow the un waa ahinlng
through tha tall trees, making tba drop
of water which hung upon tha ieavea
sparkle and flash In the sunlight like so
many tiny rainbow. Mary watched them
for a time, and then looking into tha
road, aha aaw directly opposite the bouse
Billy Bender and with bltn Alice's cradle.
In a moment Mary'a arms were thrown
around hla neck aa tightly aa if ahe
thought he had tha power and waa coin
to taka her away.
"Oh, Billy, Billy," aald ah. "I waa
afraid yon would not come, and It made
me ao unhappy."
Aa Billy released ber b waa startled
at hearing some one call out, "Bravo!
That, I conclude, la a country hug. I
hope ahe won't try it on met" '
Turning about ha aaw before blm a
white-faced boy, nearly of hia own age,
whose dress and appearance indicated
that he belonged to a higher grade, aa far
aa wealth wa concerned. It waa Henry
Lincoln, notorious both for pride and in
solence. , Billy, who had worked for Mr.
Lincoln, had been insulted by . Henry
many a time, and now b longed to
avenge it, but natlva polltenesa taught
him that In the presence of Mary 'twould
not be proper, ao without a word to Hen
ry he whispered to the little girl, "That
fellow Uvea near here, and if be ever
gives yon trouble Just let m know."
"Kissed her then, didn't you?' aneer-
ingly aaked Henry, retreating at the aame
time, for there waa something intBilly's
eyes wmcn ne rear-eii. ...
: "Come into the bouse," saSJ Mary,
"where he can't see us," and leading the
way aha conducted blm up to ber own
room, where there waa no fear of being
interrupted.
Alice waa first carefully fixed In ber
cradle, and then kneellug down at Billy's
side, and laying ber arms across his Up
Slary told him of everything which had
happened, aud finished by asking, "now
long she must stay here?"
Had Billy's purse been as Urge as hi
heart, that question would Bare easily
been auawered. Now he could only shake
his head in reply, while Mary next ask
d if ba had aeeo Ella. .
' "I have not aeen her," returned he, '.'but
I've heard that rainy aa it was this morn
ing, Mra. Campbell's maid was out select
ing muslin and jaconeta for her? and
they say she is not to wear black, aa Mrs.
Campbell thinks her too young." '
Mary did not apeak for aome time, but
ber bead dropped on Billy's knee, and
she seemed to be intently thinking. At
last, brushing aside the hair which had
fallen over her forehead, Billy aaid:
"What are you thiuklng about?" :
"I waa wondering if Klla wouldn't for
get me and Alice now sue. ia rich and go
ins? to b a lady." . . .. .
Billy had thought the same thing, and
lifting the little girl in nia lap, lie replied
"If ahe does, I never will;" and then he
told ber again how when he waa older
and had money ha wonld take her from
the poorhouse and lend her to school, aud
that she ahould aome time be as much of
a lady aa Klla.

San Francisco, May 20. On a plat
form, decorated with , the national
colors, which had been built around

Governor Nash, of Ohio; Miss Desh
ler, his niece, who was to christen

act for Mra. McKinley, and many
uniformed officers of 'the army and
navy waiting for the signal to start
the big iron monster down the ways
into San Francisco bay. Miss Barber,
with her finger on the button, was
looking intently at the indicator.

before the tide was at its highest, the
time set for the launching, there sud
denly shot into the face of the indi
cator the word "ready." Miss Barber
pressed the button. The last block
fell away. At the same time, Miss
Dcshler, a young lady of 17 years, let
go the bottle of champagne suspended
at the side of the bow by a red,, white
and blue ribbon, and as it crashed
against the side she tittered the
words, "I christen thee Ohio."

bull of 14,000 tons of steel went plow
ing through the thick grease of its
cradle. Slowly at .first, then faster
and faster, she slid down the ways,
taking the flood majestically and pil
ing up" the water in great waves in
front of her. - The band crashed,
whistles blew, and the multitude
shouted. , No ship ever given to the
American navy has taken her initial
plunge into the sea under more favoi
able auspices or in the presence of a
more distinguished company.

ished gold five by five inches in til
mensions, surmounted by the eagle
and shield of the American seal. -The
shield in the center is of California
gold-bearing quartz and is flanked on
cither side by the American and

corner of the plate is the seal of Cali
fornia and at the other the seal of
Ohio. : In the center is a miniature
of the battleship Ohio aud the follow
ing inscription : - .
"To commemorate the launching
of the United States battleship Ohio.
Presented to Hon. William McKinley,

employes of the Union Iron Works,
San Francisco, California." ....
The decorations around the border
of the plate are of oak leaves, inter
twined with California poppies.
