THE LITTLE WIIITACRES
now They Were Taken in, and
tbo Gain They Brought
"Now, you are sure you can find tht
way1" sa'd Mrs. Wbitasra. inquiringly,
to the two m'dgcU who stood cloaked
and hatted ready to go out
"Courso, mamma. Why, we've lived
hero a month. I could go anywhere Id
thli town," replied Fanny, tlio If
eonfident, addin.j: "I've aeon the school
lots of times. It's a big houso marked
School,' with stops up to It."
Tho description was not definite, bill
tho child somuml ho siiro that her moth
er was siitisliud thero could bo no mis
take, and sent the two children off with
a kiss mid an injunction to ho good
girls. '
When they bad gone she turned to
tho sick nuiii lyinjr ou the bod with tli6
words: "The children have already im
bibed the spirit of tho placo, Ili-nry.
Thny are jtiHt uchin to do and dare."
Her husband smiled faintly, saying
only! "1 hope they'll como to no harm;
I wish vou could have taken thorn,
Nell." '
"They'll got along well enough, and
I couldn't think of leaving you when
you're sufl'crinj so. They looked quite
respectable, didn't theyP I'm suro they
were as well-dressed a the majority ol
the children who go past here to tho
public schools. You know I mudotho.se
little cloaks out of your overcoat, and
tliulr shoo are still good; but their
dresses aro certainly very Bhabby. Ah,
welll better times must Co in storo for
us."
Honry was about to but, "They
cculdn t well be worse," but ho had
not the heart to put an extingtiishoi
over such a sunbeam, ns Nell, and so
lay quiet Tho two children, la the
meantime, were wiiliiing bravely out
of tuoil own poor ( but respectable
neighborhood into oho bordering on

At last tho spirit of doubt began to
vox the m n I of I tlio haty, ana sue
looked up ut herhistor with Inquiring
oyos, asking: "IK you forgot It, Fan
ny? You musn't' get us lost, mamma

"No. Indeed: It's only a littlo bit fur

Well, that's it.
And there y was, tj be sure. "Miss
Barnard's jwvnto School;" but the last
word wa all Fanny knew. The two
eagerly Polluted the steps, Katy cling
in" Hi'11' t0 I'anny's hapd, and rang
tne K1L A neut-looking girl appeared
RnuMiereU tlieni into a small room,
f.i uished with chairs p uttires, a clock
, and a writ ng deiik. As soon as the
' J . i' I 1 L I - ...

lie speech :
"We're Mr. Whitaere'i little eirls.
and wo want to go to school here."
Hut tho girl only smiled, ami said:
"W a t a minute," ana went out
"This don't look a bit 1 ko a school.
does it?" sad Fanny; and Katy re-
pucu:
"Don't it? 1 never waa in a school-
house."
"Oh, so you weren't what was 1
th'.nklii? of. exclaimed Fannv, with
dignilled amusement "Well, it don't
not at all. i don t see any black
boards, nor any desks nor books; and
1 don't scj any scholars, but us, nor,
tiny teacher." "
Just then tho lat lack was supplied,
for a teacher enteiod, Miss Harnard
herself. Mi 6 was a rather tall, well
built woman of thirty-tiro, or there
about with keen eyes and a linn
mouth. Sho looked at the children
euriously, but with a smile.
"Do you wish to see me P" she asked.
"Yes. please. We're Mrs. White
acre's l.ttlo girls, and we want to come
to school here. Mamma would have
como with us, but papa's sick, and
thore wouldn't be anybody 't all to stay
with h m."
"Do you know what kind of a school
this isP was the lady's next question.
All sortsof Burmfces procntvd them
elves to Fanny at this. Could they
hare gotten into a boy's school by
mistake? Was it a boarding-school
where the scholars were all grown?
Either of these suppositions was dread
ful, and it was with a heart that sank
for tho first time that morning thai
she asked, timidly: "What kind is it?"
"It is a kindergarten." was the an
swer; and as Fanny said "Oh!" in
tono intended to sound relieved, K tv
m d "Oh!" too. and then they loth
looked ci nuzzled a before. M ss
Birmird looked out of the window a
moment, and seemed to be thinking.
Then alio said: "Como and see the
oliool. children. Ihen vou w, II under
1und ubout it better than If I should
tell vou,"
They followed her with tiptoeing
stens down a lonir. ciupete I uu l ra
perod hall, and into a large roo-n, also
carpeted and papered. The walls were
hung w th pictures, hang ng-baskets
full of vines, and cages containing
canaries were in tho window: little
wicker chairs were scattered about tjo
room, and a Ion?, low desk ran around
two sides of it On a platform near the
door stood a piano, and ie .front of it
sat a young lady ready to play.
Hut best of all. tho room was filled
with little Rirls from three years of ago
to nine, all standing in rows, their
br ght faces turned toward the piano,
Such curls, such dainty aprons of mus
I'm and lao ), such beautiful pla d
dresses and shining shoes, and sum
white littlo bands sparkling w.th rings!
The ch Idren thought they nad cntereu
fairyland, and were sure ol it a mo
nicnt later, when tho musio struck up
and the rows of cim began to march
They wheeled and wheolod acrain,
formed themselves into a hollow
square, and performed all sorts of
bewildering evolutions. Then at
a given signal they filed each
to ncr own cnair, arm nui uuwn,
taking up the first work of tho day.
This happened to bo making tiny bas
kcts out of many-colored splints, and
the little Whltacres watched It with ce
lighted eyes. Hut in a few minutes
Miss Harnard thought she heard some
thing that sounded like a sob, and look
ing down, she saw that the younger
ch Id was crying on her sister's shoul
der. Taking Katy by the hand, she
leu tho way out of tho room.
"What is tho matter, my doar?" she
asked kindly, stooping down to wine
away the tears, and Fanny, with the
quick Insight of a child into another's
feelings, answered:
f tliinlr ulina nt-vlnrv fne frlnil itnuu
. ....... U ....
cause it s so pretty and sho wants to
do it I think this school is the best I
ever saw."
This sage and complacontly-deliv-
ered opinion mado Miss Harnard smile
They were uot tho pair of worldly-wise
children she had suspected, and her
design was completely frustrated by
their simolioitv. Thev had evidently
no su-picion that tho school was not
open to them as wcro tho public
schools, arid sho shrank from enlight
ening tlieiu.
"Do you think it would take us long
to learn to mnrch and raako baskets?"
asked Fanny, whilo Katy wiped her
eyes, and listened with Interest lor tho
reply.
"No; it will not take you more than
a day or two;'' and with Unit answer
Miss Harnard leit sho had committed
herself, and could not go back. "Come
to-morrow, a littlo earlier, sho said,
"and I will holp you to start right"
Sho opened the door for them, and
followod them with her eyes as they
went cautiously down tho steps. At the
foot they turned as with ono accord,
looked back, smiled, and called out
"(jood-byo!"
"Habes in the wood, if eycr thore
were any!" exclaimed Miss Harnard as
sho dosed the door. -
Strangely enough, It was only the
evening butoro that Miss Harnard had
said to herself, ns she figured up her
reco'pts lor the half-terra: "What
nelllsh rrciituro 1 ami Making one
hundred dollars a month, clear, and
nobody to t ike care of but myself und
Klllo, and yet my mito In tho contribu
tion box is all l give tor cnunttible pur
poses. If I only had tinio to look up
people that need help 1 should cer
tainly do It! Hut thero it Is. I never
have tho t mo, and 1 can not bear to
subscribe to these big a-soo ations that
take in and do for the uist and tlio un
just by machinery. I l ko to seo where
my money goes and what It does, and
niako suro that l am not buying new
carpets for a director or new bonnets
for a matron. '
A bit of a cvnlo was Miss Harnard.
Inclusively business relations w th tho
world are apt to huvo that clleet on
ono.
When,' therefore two scarcely more
than babies presented themselves at
her door demanding in all innocence
their cducat on free gratis, Miss Har
nard's mlrul reverted to her thoughts
of tho evening beforo, and something
said to her blaiiily, "This Is your op
portunity." Uao, however, had bred
such a habit In her that it was not easy
to uo a iiung so imniiesuy unousinosg.
like, henco Iter momentary hesitation.
Tho impulse camo again, and stronger
than before, and it waa tins and not
herself which had answered Fanny's
question.
When tho kindergarten department
closod at noon for the day, and Miss
Harnard had leisure from her h gher
classes, kuo stepped into the room
where uno lianiuury, her young half
sister, had charge every day of the lit
tle folk. Klllo had been so absorbed in
her ruuslo that nho hud scarcely noticed
the entrance of her Bister with tho two
children that morning, and so was
nuito at a loss to' understand when
laulino said, Binding shamefully, as
ono 'iocs at a joke on one s self :
"Well I've taken them!"
"Taken what? ' said Kfllo, whirling
around. "I hopo, Paulino, you haven't
been stealing at your t mo of 1 to; hut I
can Infer nothing elso."
."No; I'm afraid you'll think It's
worse than that I've taken thoso two
children into the -school.
"Oh, is that all? You take in one or
two nearly every day. That Is not sur
prising."
"Ah, but theso aro little indigents,
and can't pay their way."
"And vou are admitting them for
nothing ?'''
"los; 1 couldn t Ycrywell help it
they were so flattering, you know. One
said it was the best school she ever
saw. We shall never miss the money."
- nu, it ibu t mat; uut mo rvj Kerj,
and the Scotta, and the Pancfords
they will be certain to object Those
dirty, 1 ttlo things among these dainty,

'Duty little things!" exclaimed
Paul. no. "You surely didn't seo them!
They were perfectly clean and whobs,

bonnets, but they looked as respectable
a two ch ldren could."
Thev will teach all sorti of street-
t:ilk and bad grammar to our cliihiie i,

ing her urgumotits from probabil.t es
suicu fao'.s had faded her.
"Street-talk, ind. ed! 1 wish youcould
have heard tin I t: lo things! J'ho mo-t
innocent pair I ever saw; tho danger of
contamination w 11 all be the other
wav."
Miss Harnard would soon have ma le
cherubs out of her young appl cants
had liers ster continued to attack them,
but Ktlie s mply, shrugged her shoul
ders at this last remark, and said pres
ently: "Well, it's not my afla r; do as you
like! IJut take mv word lor it, I'aulmo,
you hare taken steps in a path that you
don t see tho end or.
"Do you know, Kflio," said her sis
ter, softening, "that I've fell for along
time as if I were very seltlsh to be lay
Ing up so much when there are so ma y
people who need help and deserve it?
And it really seemed as )i theso chii
drcn were sent to give me a chance to
do something, becauso I haveu't the
time myself to look up such matters. 1
haven't foltcomfortablo for some tirao,
but I didn't know what tho troublo was
until to-day."
"Dear, dear, you are incorrigible!"
sighed Klllo. "If you had Socrates'
demon you would never bo contented
to wait till it checked you; you'd be
forever looking round, and saying:
, 'Whore is that demon of m ne? W hy
doesn't he come and cheek me? I'm
sure I'm doing something I ought'nt
to.'"
Hut as she ,sa;d this, tho younger
woman put hor hands allectionateiy on
the elder's shoulders, and looked with
loving reproof into her eyes. Thjro
was a motherly feeling oftentimes
in Paulino Harnard's heart to
wards this half-sister, ten years her
junior, but she did not know motherly
ways of expre-sion, and that made a
troublesome reserve between them at
times, for Klllo was by nature demon
strat vo and fond of demonstration from
others. When a child sho had once
complained to their mother: 'Pauline
puts out her hand sometimes as if she
was go ng to pat mo, and then she just
buttons my urofs, or straightens my
collar, and I feel bo disappointed."
Whon, In later years, during Efllo's
college days, there camo to her a real
disappointment in tho shape of a lover's
quurrcl and a broken engagement the
mJther who had listoned to her com
plaints was doad, and sho felt that she
could tell only tho baro facts to Paul ue,
who had always been so absorbed in
making her own wav, as scarcely to
know that suoh a class as lovers ex
isted. So she had smiply mentioned
In her letters that the young senior
and herself were henceforth to bo
nothing to each other, and had added:
Please do not speak of this to mo
the sooner it is forgotten, the better."
I Paulino had looked upon this as n
very sensiblo way of taking it and had
ejected her sister homo again the
Same gnv. saucv girl as before; it took
hta a long tltno to account to herself
lor luu enuuju jii r.uiu a luuna uuu
tones and ways,' but she accustomed
herself to It gradually and kept silence
as sho had been bidden.
It had all happened fivo years ago,
and by this time tho lives of the two
women had settled into a rut so dtaep
that they could "barely see over the
edge of it" as Klllo said. There was
nothing to look forward to. very little
that wus ploasant to remember; every
Christmas found them buying gifts for
each other In a perfectly open and
aboveboard way, by which all the d s
tinctively Christmas flavor of surprise
was lost; every summer they took tho
same trip to the same farm-house,
whoro no one camo but themselves, and
whore thoy spent tho summer months,
lam inting'inwardly that it was not fall
and thev had no work to do.
That Fanny and Katy. sitting in her
littlo reception-room, were angels,
whom sho was entertaining unawares,
Miss Harnard had no idea if she al
lowed horself to,dwcll upon tho matter
of obligation at all, sho felt rather that
tho role of beneficiary was theirs.
At tho end of tho week, Klllo said,
abruptly, as sho sat crocheting by the
study-lamp: "l'aulino. something must
be done those shabby skirts v the
midst of all thelinerv look liko blotches
on a painting, and 1 simply : can not
stand it"
"What do you meanP" 1
Pauline looked up from the evening
paper, surpnsod. A '
"I mean that I'm going to get somo
flannel and make somo dresses for
those children. They look l ko Ra
phael's cherubs in a splint frame."
"Hut do you sup) oso their mother
will allow it?"
"I'll go to se her and find out."
"1 wouldn't do that if I wcro you,
Kfllo. I don't believe she knows the
children are attond ng a private school,
and she nrght tike them away.
Christmas Is not far off, and you could
make up tho dresses and send them
anonymously as Christmas gifts."
"Hut how Khali I get their measure?"
"Let mo boa," said Miss Harnard,
musingly, ihey must be just ahouj
tho size of Madgo aid Matido Kyker,
and you could? take tlicir meu-ures
f.omo day iu fun, without any o io's
suspecting what you were about"
"les, 1 cau do that" said Kllie.
"Would vou make them up as Mother
Hublards?"
"Yes, and make somo littlo hoods
and cioiks to math!" exclaimed Miss
Harnard, dropping tho papor and ba
cntn.ng thoroughly interested, while
Klllo with sparkling eyes and animated
face went Into det.t 1 to such an exteut,
that none but a dressmaker could be
exnectod to follow hor.
From that day forth, the mam top c
of conversation with tho two teachors
was the Whitacre children "our
dolls," as Kllie stvled them.
Gradually, mutls and tippets, warm.
coarlet stock ngs, and tiny art cles
were added to tho outfit and on the
day before Christmas the whole was
pluco l in two large boxes, accom
panied by Chr'stmas cards and sent by
u mcsscngcr-boy to the little flat on
Carson street Tho boy hail his In
structions, and as soon as he had made
suro that it was the proper place of
deposit he dropped the boxes and ran.
Ih ngs had been going from bad to
wore with the Whitacres, though the
children had not been allowed to sus
pect it. llonrr Whitacre was still con
Uned to his bed, the little stock of sav-1
ings which they had brought with them
to the strange city was lessoning every
day, and tho bills for coal seemed
jiiormous.
Knowing no one. Mrs. Whitacre
would have found it diflleult to obt.t n
work for herself, even if sho could have
left her husband, who required almost
constant attention. With matters in
this shapo, and a bleak w nter sottl n?
down upon them, it was with a heavy
heart that Mrs. Whitacre opehed the
door to the messenger. 1
The boxes were marked pla'nly
enough, "Fanny and Katy Whitacre.
Christmas, 188," and all she could do
was to take them in and open them.
Tho contents, , w th their unspoken
message of comfort and care, drew
from her eyes tho tears which neither
hardship nor her husband's despond
ency bad forced to flow, and she laid
her bend down upon the boxes and had
a good cry. There aro times when a
sympathetic word, or look, or sign, is
the last straw, and this was one of
them.
After the general delight that fol
lowed the open ng of the boxes camo a
general cunoity as to who could have
sent them. W'hilo they were still dis
cussing this quest on, as the children
stood arrayed from head to foot in their
new suits, camo a ring at the door
which was like none ever heard there
before. It was the postman, with the
first letter which had come to them
since their removal to the e ty.
"From Jack!" cried Mrs. Whitacre,
"and it has been a whole month find
ing us! It must have been wr.tten about
the time we moved, and ho hadn't re
ceived my letter giving our new ad
dress. It is post-marked Los Angeb-s."
Scarcely had she glanced at the first
fbw lines, then she turned to her hus
band with a glad cry. "Ho is coming in
b x weeks, he Bays that is two weeks
f om now oh, and ho thinks he may
s ittle hero! Isn't that too good to bo
t ue? ' As she turned the page, a bit
0 f paper fluttered into her lap, a check
for fifty dollars! "To buy toys for. the
b ibics," the writer explained. It was
v iry evident that her struggles to get
u ong had never been mentioned to him
ii i the letters of his proud si.-ter.
And so it was that on the day after
J ew Tear's, while tho children were at
s ihool, Jack Medway arr.ved uncx
p 'ctudly and took the houso by storm.
1 op had revived in Henry's" breast
s nci the Christmas surprises, and he
as beginning to sit up and to look
s ropger and not quito so colorless. As
fi r nits wife, she flew to the arms of
J ick's shaggy great-coat and laughed
a iJ cried, and begged himtotakeotl his
o (I'coat, and clung to him bo that ho
cotldu't, and did and sa:d things that
would have been undign lied even in
Fanny. "
After a good hour of talk about
e erything that had happened and was
g ing to happen, the newcomer grew
ii ipaiicnt and anxious for tho children
t como, and finally proposed going to
tno H'-iiooi aim surprising inciu.
("Where are they?" ho asked; - "Do
J9U suppose their dragons w 11 let me
seo them?"
"Oh. yes thoir teacher is anything
but a dragon, I judge from tho way
In which thoy speak of her. The
school-building is on the corner of
Borry street and King avenue, they tell
me. I have never been to visit it
though I mean to somo day. Bring
them homo withyou. Jack, if you may."
A fow moments later Jack Medway,
with a puzzled face, was walking up
the steps of Miss Barnard's pr.vatu
school. "Th's is certa'uly tho right
corner," he said, "but now ;n tho
world cau they send tho children to a
private school in a fashionable quarter
like tlrs?"
ilo had no curds w th him, and so
simpl v sent word that a gentleman
would like to see the Whitacre children,
if the r teacher d d not object. It
might bo ull right Klllo thought, but
there was no telling she would do
bettor to see him herself first; so with
out so much as a look in the littlo
cloak-room mirror, sho went into tho
reception-room. Sho d d not know
how bright the color was in her checks
from the recent lesson in calisthenics,
nor how becoming, with her dark ha'r
and eyes, wcro tho Jacqueminot ro.es
Which one of the children had placed
In her button-hole that morning.
But when ho saw her as sho came
toward him, Jin k Medway was ready
to say that sho looked as young and
twice as pretty as fivo years ago, on
tho evening of their broken engage
ment He met her at the door, look
ing down upon her from his six feet,
and, In his shaggy great-coat filling
up the narrow door-way.
"Klllo, is this you?V ho cried, hold
ing out both hands. She was as
tonished, of course, but after her first
exolamaton of "Jack!" under her
breath, she put out one of her hands
and said, demurely:
"It is really 1. Mr. Medway."
Don't call mo tha's!" he "protested,
impctuou-dy. "I.ct it bj Jack, as it
used to bo", Kft;o, and let's begin tho
New Year right. I have been sorry a
thousand times, and if I had known
whoro yon were, I should hare to!d
you so. Now, shall we call It sqnareP''
lie demanded, still holding her hand.
What could sho do but assent to the
romantio proposition couched in mch
unromantio words? It is possible thut
Jack would have forgotten his errand,
and Ktlio her young charges, had not
Paulino entered the recept on room, not
knowing that it was occupied, and by
her completely non-plussed expression
reminded them that thj afta r was not

Then tho 1 ttlo Whitacres were

around, in a way that mado them go

When Pauline and Kflio found them
selves again alone together, the former
said, after a half-hour's musing before
the tiro: "Don't tell me there's no such
thing as design in hnmsn affairs! Was
it ever icteuded that I shouldn't take

"Dirty littlo things?" supplied Kflle,
with a shamefaced laugh. "My dear
