6 THE M01WING ASTOIUAN, ASTHMA, OKKGON. FRIDAY, JANUARY 4, 1007, A TRIP INTO AFFLUENCE li'itntiiuicd fiitm ran.- 3 sently she s,t tip :l"l t, fi':ii Iuk t n word. VI n Mts Anderson away, Nervy. bidding Tinimy went St. -IV hT, ri' s.'iit- Mij ith ex tin- thi where he was. fallowed ly she csime li.ii k. lcr Cltl'Iliellt. "Timmy Ky.m, come with nilnit:'" she said. ' IVn't -t.ij questions, st come!" "He tile oops after U" as!cd Timmy. whose greatest fear Iti life was that cop rtiiRht some dav svovi down on him and bear him away to imthitik ihh terrors. "Oops nothln'," said Nervy, hurry- it. ir Tinimy out of the store and into the street. ' This is the grandest store ever was. its a store where you can bring any ol' tiling an' sell it an' have the money, an' you don't have to buy it hack an" pay more'n you sot for il. like you do at the Three Hall Shop. heard Miss Crinkle Hair talkin. an' I went straight an" asked her. an' she Bald yes. it was a store purpose to sell ol' things, an' anybody could bring Vn I asked her that, too an we'll go right off an' see what ol' things we can find, an, sell 'em fore folks spend all their money." A diligent search through the two rooms Nervy called home failed to re veal anything which the girl dared to take. "There ain't a thing but that motter," she said, pointing to a dilapidated worsted motto that hung on the wall. "A woman Granny washes for gin it to her, an' she gin it to me." "It looks awful old." said Tinimy. "S'pose and one 'd want to buy it?" "Folks with money is alius buyin' things they don't want." said Nervy, detaching the motto from the wall. "It says "What Is home without a moth ? Moths is things that eats your clothes when you ain't wenrin' 'em, but we wear all we've got, so we don't need this motter. Now, let's go to your house an' see what you've got. We'll divide even." Timmys rather His mother was dead kept a miserable little saloon. the resort of the roughest type of men but, to his credit, his son Timmy was never allowed to step inside. He was In a captious mood that morning, and bade the children begone and not step a foot on the premises till he called Timmy to his supper, so they hastily retreated, Nervy's Almaschar visions of speedy wealth rudely demolished. It was the afternoon of the fifth day of the sale. Each day the children had frequented the store, and now, as the two slipped Into the little snuggery of the dry goods boxes, Timmy said "My ain't It grand to have a place to get warm every day? We can come here all winter, can't we. Nervy?" "Well, we can't then," said Nervy. "I heard Miss Crinkly Hair say they was goin' to sell everything tomorrow an' close up. Timmy Ryan, we must find somethin' to sell. What's in that ol' shed back o' your pa's s'loon?" "Jest sticks an' things to burn," said Timmy. "They might be somethin' else. Let' go look. It's our last chance to gat money." Attended by the faithful Timmy. wh ever followed where she led. Nrvy hastened to the shed, and after a turn ing and tumbling of the broken boxes, barrels anil boards which it contained, dragged from the farthest corner, where it had probably been undisturb ed for years, an old box. Prying it open, a lot of musty damp papers were exposed to view, and, throwing thr-m out. Nervy pull-d from the bottom half a dozen mouldy old books. Just then Tlmmy's father came out of te rear door of the saloon, demanding to know what the children were doing, and. being shown the find of books, told mem 10 lane mem ana light out or he'd put Timmy in bed. Nervy stood not on the order of her going, but, gathering the books in her dress, hurried away, Timmy, who still carried the redoubtable Nibbles as a warmlngpan, scurrying after. "I'll get the motter," said Nervy wh'-n they were at a safe distance, "an' we'll put 'em on that table with them other or books. Nobody ain't bought any yet, but Miss Crinkle Hair salr surg everything would be sold tomorrow, an she meant books, too. Mebbe we'll get a lot o' money.", The old books which were donated ior tne sale mui been placed on a table rear where Nervy and Timmy had found stowage, but, riot being a pop ui.u eommouny in mat locality, no purchasers had yet nPiared. Nervy cleared a space for her books and i--to and waited for a possible customer, Timmy, In the friendly shelter of the dry goods boxes, was quietly dozing, when a dog that had followd its mas ter Into the store poked his nose into Timmy's retreat and spying the kitten made a spring at. her. The kitten flew about the store, seeking a place of safe ty, and In an InsMnt the place was In The chlldiv",, who had thniultl ihcm an uproar. -'.ir(nn:itil , the door was selves In b, clutches of some itlHm a.lar, and Nibble dashed thi.uKh i; . j t tv policeman, now thlnklm; ih.-.u-cl-wiib. the dog.

"Tinimy Kyan' Timmy Kyan"' slie ei'lalnicd. "Our books and our niottcr Is sold. We waii't there to take the money, an' they left it right on the ta ble. They wasn't no mot e books gone, so the money's all ours," and, opening her hand, she exhibited a small roll of bills held by a rubber band. "My: Tinimy Kyan. we're rich as that ol' Jew that keeps the Three Mall Shop, an" quick as we get Nibbles we'll go and git two palls ' coal, an' I'll have a Are 'fore (Iran gits home an' stops me." Hut getting Nibbles was easier said than done. She clung desperately to her perch, from which no amount of coaxing nor scolding could Induce her to move, and the children would not leave the kitten. As the short winter afternoon waned it grew colder and colder. Nervy tried to beoille the minutes with tales of the pleasure their sudden wealth held In store for them, but by the time night had fair ly fallen Timmy was crying dismally and the frightened kitten was mewing plteously. Nervy for once was at her I wits end. when suddenly a carriage came dashing down the street. It stopped opposite the children, the door opened, and a large man. clad In a fur-lined top coat, stepped out hastily and, grasping a lamp-lighter just then passing on his belated round, give a command and pointed upward. In a twinkling the agile climber had set his ladder against the pole, mounted to the crossplece, and was down with a black squirming object which he drop ped In the boys arms. The big man bundled the two children Into the car riage, got In after them, and the vehi cle vanished around the corner. The doors of the rummage stile had closed for the day, but It was not the report of unusual sales that had caused the workers to cluster round Miss Mel ton, who was talking rapidly. "Yes," she was saying. "I had Just counted out a hundred dollars and put a rubber band around the roll, when that horrid cat sprang on my desk, and I Jumped up and ran to the back of the store. No, Mr. Bradley, I did not drop the money. I remember distinctly having it In my hand. I was not frightened but a minute, for the cat and dog ran outdoors. Then on the book table I saw that motto with some of the letters gone. Miss Ander son saw it, too, and we were laugh ing at It when Mr. Hradley came up and said, "What a find:" and erapbed up some old books and went away with them. Why, of course I know you did not take the money, Mr. Hradley, I had it then. The lace of my sleeve caught on the frame to th- motto, and to get it loose I laid the money on the table, and Just then Miss Emory called me, and I never thought of the money a- gain till the store was closed and we I began to count the cash. There hasn't been a thinsf sold off that table yet, and Miss Anderson has been jn that part of the store all the .'ift -rnoon. l! am sure she can tell, if she whiles, j where that money Is." I f "Why, Miss Melton!" said Mis Km - ory. "Six- has na more id. -a uh-r Unit: mon-y is than I have." "No, certainly not." said Mr. Rrad-, ley, stepping f. j, ,,f M1t Anderj son, who stood paj.; and trembling, not! k:, owing what to say or do. "She "For that matter," Interrupter Miss Melton, "who knows anything about Miss Anderson? Where did she cornel from, and who are her friends? when a person" T . . . , ... . i nui jumi men mere was a loud and persistent knocking at the door. Mr. Bradley, glad of a diversion hastened to open it, and ushered in that most beloved and honored of men, good Ilis hop Humphrey, jf,. was not alone, for by one hand he held the frightened Nervy and by the other shivering Tim my Uyan. "Ves, here I am." Salil tl,, H!u,,.,. smiling into the astonished faces v.v.-n-ed toward him. "Just home from Eu rope, and loek-d out of the rubbish sale of rny favorite parish. Yes. and more while you were counting your gains, these two children w-re freeing to death at your very door. Here, young hands on that and get them warm. Nobody w III hurl oil " As ry oheed his behest some thing fell from her stiffened tinners. Mr. liradley picked It up. It was a roll of bills held b a i nbber band. He gae a low w'alstle, but handed the mom to Nervy, tic n, led on by skill ful qui stionliu;, 'et v , w ho foit-i I ill him a sympathetic listener, told the whole Mor. Mulshing with the avow al that the llrst thing she was gi.lng to buy was enough coal to kc, p her warm a whole day. Miss Melton was Just, if she was not generous, and when Mr. liradley had taken her and Miss Emory one side and told the story, she took the money and walked swiftly to Miss Anderson. "Iook." said she, "the money Is found. It Is all a tnlstiike, and I'm sorry for what 1 said. Mr. Ura.llcy will tell you about It." Mr. Hradley had the happy gift of adorning t) tale in Its telling, so Nervy'.i story lost nothing In his recapitulation, and when he had linlshed even the Itlshop's ey.-n were moist. Miss Emory was the first to speak. "We'll fit these children out with warm garments here and now, and. Mr. Hradley, write an order on Parker for half a top of coal for tlntnny Johns. This child shall bo warm once." Mr. Hradley explained to Nervy's entire satisfaction the mistake about the sale, and made generous payment for the old books, one of which was a copy of the first edition of rtaselas She and Timmy departed In peare. clothed as well as warmed and fed j Timmy Kyan. said Nervy, "them books sold all right, but they didn't leave the right money, so it had to be cbn.eged.
