Of retting her wood and water for her. . "I find I

"No danger cr that." said a third. Pity a
hadn't a buffalo-robe to wrap 'round her bead,
on top of her; blr white ebawL bbe'd make
good scarecrow V
At this the boys joined lo a hearty laugh.
"I thought you did her chores. George," aald a
pale, slender boy, who had not yet spoken.
"Well, I did as lone as she could pay ; but when
the money stopped I stopped- Y0" know I ain't
one of the kind that works for nothln'. No, sir;
you don't eatch me doing that. I ain't ao fond of
work as all that"
.Meanwhile. Mrs. Noble was struecilnr very
lhardtd turn the heavy crank of the. welt The
cool November air .made her culver, and -caused
her face to grow whiter than ever. Beside, she
had heard part of the remarks the boys had made,
and aha ft-It aa if she must look verv ridiculous.
Iler only thought in t rapping up so much was to
protect herself from the coki, knowing by hard
expert enc-bowhe-hould have- to suflVr from
any exposure. .The nearer the bucket of water
drew to the curb, the heavier It grew ; and as she
stopped to lift it over, in order to pour it into her
pail, her-strength failed her, and eheeast a wjatr.
ful look toward the boys. That look was not lost
on Ned Ingalla, the boy to whom' George Bureh
had been giving his ideas about "work! n for
nothln'." With oue bound be cleared 'the low
fence which separated the yards, and, seizing the
crank, said: 1 - " ' ; v . . .
"Here, Mrs. Noble, let me lift the -pall
over, it is too heavy rot yotu i wiu carry it m,
too." . : . . .
.'.Oh, thank you, dear! but J don't like to
trouble you. I find it hard, though, I confess, to
get It In myself." -
"it is no trouble at am l am used to bringing

i ' cnU a week he had been earning.
"Why? Don't I uit ? I work as cheap as
: anybody, I guess." . n
. 0h, yes! you don't ask any too much, and
jon do your work well. The reason Is only that I
ftonot spare the money, as small as tbe sum Is.
-I hope you can find something else to do to take
the place of this, I am sureI wish. I could keep
Eon, for I am afraid drawing the water Is going to
almost too much for me.' Here s the money,
George." - -"-"
A he took the money and turned to go, Mrs.1
2Joble called to blra : - ' -
"George, I guess I shall have to get you to
. bring me an extra pall of water. I may feel too
tired to get It myself In the morning. Here are
three cents extra for it"
George took the' threecents as a matter of
111 mi nwi 111 them drop down Into hU pamaloons pocket wttn-
tat otner money ne naa just received.
After the boy had rone. Mrs. Noble seated her-
aelf before her fire with a heavy heart It was'
. a gray November afternoon, and she felt, more
lonely than usual, bhe felt, sick, too, and she
woDdered how, with her falling strength, she
should be able to tiring water from the well, split
- her kindlings, amkk the other work which

erhaps it seems strange to roost of you that it
'abould seem such a -burden' to hex work that to
yoUwould seem so light; but Mrs. Noble had
never drawn a pan or water or spin a aticx or
wood, bhe had until recently -had plenty of
money and servants to help her; but within a
abort time death took from her her husband and
only child. Misfortunes-of various kind reduced
ber large property to a very small one, and the
mall one to an ineom so small as to hardly sup-port-ber
comfortably. After-tbe-ieath-of -her

VGeoree Burchusedto do this work for me : but

is quite an undertaking for me to get a pail of
water. I find I have to wrap up as much as if I

"I will come over and draw what water you

"I should like to have you, but I cannot afford
to pay you. 1 I gave George up for want of
money." 1 " - - v
"Ob, I didn't mean to do It for pay, I will do
It for nothing., I have plenty of,. time before and
after school.0 '
Without waiting for Mrs. Noble to excrete
her thanks, he bade her. good-night and went
wsy. --'.v .
Nel Iniralls's mother was a widow. She was

.And occupied jlontthe,cottaceu.ifwhlth-l, have
- po;en. . iTars-Bi lea hereyes s he ihOu gh t of
the past of tlie dear ones now gone, of tbe far
distant home of her youth, and of her present con
dition of loneliness and poverty, bhe had. a
brother, she supposedrsoroewhere in the world,
but she knew not where. He had left home many
years before, during some family trouble, and bad
never made known his whereabouts, bhe
thought It more than probable that he. was dead.
0, because she bad no re la tires, no special friend
to whom she could go for help, and no money to
pare for. hiring her work done, she must trv,
. aurk or well, to do It herself. .
Little did George Buret) think what a sorrow
lng heart he wan leaving, although tears were in
the widow's eyes when she bade him good-bye.
Perhaps we ought not to expect a boy of his age
to feel or show sympathy for such a one. Still, I
ran easily call to mind one of his age, now gone
from earth, who would have been melted to
tears by her tears, and would have exclaimed,
agerly: ;
"Never mind the money, Mrs, Noble: I will
ret tbe wood and water for nothing." .
There has been such a boy, and I know there are
more ; but George Burch was of another sort, and
It must not be wondered at' From hbx earliest
Childhood he had been taught to get all he could
and to keep it - v J
"Make every cent you cah Georgle," his father
would say, "and there's nothing to tender ye
from being as rich as any of 'em." .
That had been hi motto, though aa yet he had
Dot made himself very rich by It He' had, how
rver, a good house and all that he needed.
George seemed to be born w I th Aloye for money.
He would never loe a chance to make a cent if
he could help it He was willing to work, and
to work bard, not because be loved to work, al
though he really did love work better than study,
but bvcauae he Joved the money the work would
bring. He was always ready to lose a half-day's
school for a few cents; and it was generally re
. marked JbjJbls school mates when he wasabsentr

never known to work for nothing. "No pay, no
work,? was his way of. repeating the, motto.
When a neighbor wanted him to do an errand,
ha had no hesitation In asking, -"How much do
expect to give r and if be found (hat lie was ex
nected do it for nothing, even if It were right
la his way, he always Invented some excuse for
not doing It "Don't catch me working for noth

eye a remark which his father always approved.
ltt cours7he had no Idea of working for Mrs.

You will never lose anything by doing. for

be paid always In dollars and cents.''
George Burch was surprised when he found
that Ned was doing Jirs. Noble's work.
"That's pretty queer," said he, angrily, bhe
said she turned me off because she couldn't aflord
to pay, and now she's gone and hired you. I'm
.glad, now, that I took .three cents for that extra
tail of water. I set out not to charge anything,
ut then I thought I'd better get all I could.
That's father's wav, and 'mine, too. He says I'm
a chip off the old "block, and I suees I am. Ha !

cheaper. How much do you charge her I
long to get what little wood and water she uses.
and she looked so sorter sick I told her I'd do it
for nothing, as long as she couldn't afford to pay.
"Dolt for nothln'! Well, yon area fool. All
right Go ahead.' Guess you'll get sick enough
of it before Winter's er. I-'poe you'l", shovel
for nothln', and goto the itottt-office for not bin',

you'll lay up money. The bank won't be apt to

nothln'! Well, as for me. Id rather work ftr
something."
. 1-
But Ned did not get sick of ft before the Win
ter was over.- In fact as time passed, he liked
It better and better. Although he did shovel, and
go to the put-omre, and go aiier yeast, ne am
net feel as if he did It for nothing, lie felt doubly
paid when he came in, perhaps out of a drifting
snow-storm, to meet ner pleasant tacc, ana to see
her prtint smillingly to an extra plate on the little
tea-table, which she bad drawn close up to the
fire, and to hear her sweet voice say 1
"That plate s for you. dear. You must have a i
cup of tea with me to-night; and here are some !
doughnuts widt h I made purposely for you." " j
Then, after supper, she would help him with his 1
leseons, explaining all the difficult portions until
shemade lhemcleirTdhim. Thlrlasrwa a
great help to Nel, and he progressed so capidly at
school as to excite the wonder of his teacher and
classmate. George turrh. In rartlcular, won
dered What had given) Ned Ingall such a-tart.
But XW and Mrs. Noble knew. Thtis although
she had not money to pay Ned for the work he,
did, she had many ways of helping him. It was
she who knit his mittens although It. was often;
done with yarn raveled from stoekings her h.us-'
band used to wear. It was her delight to make
him pretty neckties from bits of bright silk she
bad In the house. Then they had taice talks about
Ned's future prospects, and many a cheery game
or cnecKcr and iwKwmmonpiM cnen, in

wages; but he thougni ne anouiu
chance to study there, and, though he had said
nothing about ft to any one beside bla mother and
Mrs. Noble, he had a strong idea of trying to work
his way through college. w . ,
About this time a telegram came to Mrs. Noble
informing her that ber brother was dead, and Urg
ing her Immediate presence In New York, bhe
closed the cottage and went away, and Ned missed
her very much. But after a few weeks she came
back, bringing with hex. a little girl, the only
child. of her brother. - -
Kre long it was rumored that the Widow Noble
had bought the cottage where ahe lived. Soon
additions began to be made to It It was painted,
and an ornamental fence was put around It New
and handsome furniture arrived, and many signs
pointed to the conclusion that the widow had had
a fortune left her. And she had. Her-brother
had left a large PrIi'ty, whicluwas divided be
tween his only sister and his child, whom he con
fided to her care. But the greatest 'sensation of
all: waalproduced 'when it was announced that
Ned Ingallshad left his place of employment, and,
after a few months at the. Academy, was to enter
college. : ---:- :r-
I don't-see how you've managed to save money
enough to go to college," said George Burch -to
him one day. "It's going to take a big lot, and
you can't be earning much whileyou're there."
"No, I shall not have much time to earn any
thing then. But, to tell you the truth, George, I
laid up a lot while 1 was working fur nothing r'
, THE USES OF AN ENEMY. ' ;
MW S-
.Always - keep -an -enemy In band a brisk,
heartv, active one. Remark the uses of an enemy :
1. The having one is proof that you are some
body. Wishy-washy, empty, worthless people
never have enemies. Men who never move
never run .'against anything : , and when a
man is thoroughly dead and utterly buried, noth
ing ever runs against him. To be run against it
proof of existence and position; to run against
something is proof of motion.
Z. An enemy is, to say the least, notpartlal to
you., lie will not natter. Jlewlll not exaggerate
your virtues. .It is Tery probable that he will
slightly magnify your faults. The benefit of that
Is twofold -It permits you to know that you have
faults, and are, therefore, not a monster, and it
makes them of such size as to be visible and man
ageable.' Of course, if you have a fault you desire
to know it; when you become aware that you
have a fault, you desire to eorrect it Your en
emy does for you this valuable work which, your
friend cannot perform. . '
3. In addition, your enemy keens you wide
awake. -J le does hot let you sleep at your pot
There are two )hat always keep watch, namely,
t hA lnvpf anil th hnt-t-r Vnnr n-ilici that
you may .sleep. He keeps off noises, excludes
light adjusts surroundings, that nothing may
dhdurb you. Your hater watches that you may
not sleep., lie stirs you up when you are napping.
He keeps; your faculties on the-alert Even when
he does nothing, he will have put you In such a
state of mind that you cannot tell what he will do
next and this mental qui' vi re must be worth
