bad dubbed ber the "town crier." '
The nickname was so apt that It
stuck, being reduced for simplicity's
Vke to T. C. Even during those stem
minutes In the library with her father
he often dropped the sober Sarah for
y the more universal T. C.
. T. C'b nickname was due to her gen
ius for the dissemination of bits of
gossip best forgotten. Her mind seem
ed naturally to empty itself of all in
formation, and young Hardy altered
an old saw Into "What goes in T. C.'s
ear comes out of her mouth."
As T. C. grew In understanding the
iabit got her more firmly in Its grip.
Instead of learning to appreciate the
value of reticence, her wider scope of
knowledge served only the better to
equip her for the gathering of sundry
bits of gossip which she would blurt
ut at the most Inopportune occasions
tatil not only her family, but her
friends, came to regard her with an
affection that was not unmixed with
terror.
T, C, being a sensitive little soul,
grieved In secret and made earnest

while he watted and hoped for a clear

He was sitting idly at his desk one
afternoon when T. C. jroked her head
into the doorway and, finding that be
was alone, entered boldly.
"What is It, Feterklnr he asked,
printing a kiss on the child's troubled
face. "Have you been telling the min
ister what your father said when he
was asked to contribute to the chancel
fund, or did you explain to the guests
at the party that the salad was made
with canned lobster?"
"Worse 'an that," was the doleful
declaration as T. C. snuggled against
the broad shoulder. "The school com
mittee visited this afternoon. Mr.
Sprague asked us what love was, and
I told him it was the way the principal
acted with Miss Saunders. .They all
laughed, but Miss Squires got red in
the face, and I was expelled. It is the
truth," she added defiantly. "He kisses

and she calls him 'Georgia.' I wouldn't

"I supposed that you knew and had
no explanation to offer."
"Aud you will give me nnoflior an

An hour later' a freckled face thrust
itself above the hedge of the Wester

was funny that you had another girl's

GOOD NEWS.

Though Jack had given ber the odious
nickname, he made partial atonement
by never employing it
To him she was "Peterkin," and.
though frequently he was a sufferer
from her disclosures, he was ever
ready with advice, sympathy or candy,
as the occasion seemed to demand, for
be alone apparently realized that her
fuult was temperamental and not the
result of maliciousness. :
T. C. Ifiirly worshiped Hardy, yet all
the little Intimate details of his court
ship of her sister Nell leaked out along
with the rest of her chatter, and there
were times when Hardy's forbearance
was put to a hard test. It was charac
teristic of the man that even the per
sonal experience did not abate his sym
pathy for T. C. not even when he pro
posed to Nell and was given a negative
answer.
When Nell made hysterical reference
to another girl he felt that he had T. C.
to thank for this, yet his oflice still
was her haven of refuge, and she stotit
hr denied that she had said anything
about some other woman.

T. C. might be able to explain the al
lusion, but I did not dare question her
too closely lest I give forth more in

"No woman care's to be counted sec
