"Say, Deli, will you go in to Water
bury with me, to-morrow If"
"I'd like to, Mary; I wish I could;
but I thiuk it will not be possible. La
wan finds it difficult to collect money
from his patients this year, and I don't
know how to spare a oeut."
"Well, I was going to say if you'd go
with me, I'd pay your fare lor your com
pany. I never traded much there, aud
don t know the stores, or where to go for
my purchases; and I want to call at
Aunt White's, too, but I hate to go
alone."
"It don't seem right, Mary, for you to
pay my fare.bnt if I can really help yon,
wliy, 1 shall to go. I ought to get my
Mary a Sunday hat, and Lnman some
stockings, and myself a calico, and I
should hare a greater variety to choose
from there than here."
Mrs. Feck was a country doctor's wife.
Does my dear reader know all that
means? She had to economize, because
the doctor's bills is tho last bill anybody
thinks of paying in the country;' and a
good doctor, which means a good man
sympathetic, as well a skillful, and kind
hearted as k9en forbears, even to his
own detriment, to press the settlement
of his accounts; seeing, as he only can
see, how hard it is to be both poor and
sick.
Blessings on a country doctor! Out of
their ranks a whole calendar of saints
might be canonized; but the good Lord
ouly knows how good are these minister
ing diseiplea of His, who go about as lie
did, doing good.
And their wives hae a harder time
than it they were missionaries. Many a
dark hour did Mrs. Peck watoh and

The cobbler patched up the ragged
sttoea as well as lie could; and now Mrs,
Peek found to her dismay that her own
boots had given out from the Watorbury
trip, and site, too, had to stay at home
from church on Sunday, because they
were not nt to wear.
After ten days' delay, a letter came
from Charlemout; a gay, bright letter,
endiugwiui: "there g a teachers con

Dennis) on the twentv-fourth and I will
bring the five dollars I borrowed of vou
when I come through.
nils was tue second of .May. It was
tho tweuty-second of April the money
had been lent Mary. Eggs were now a
drug at tho (store. The doctor ucvor
would let her run in debt, and she aud
May were all but shoeless.
Iu the meantime Mary had said to
herself seeing a pretty cambric she
wanted in a Charlemout shop "If I
buy it I can't send Delia her money till
next month, but it's ouly five dollars.
She will not want it before I go to Lud
low."
She did not think that Delia had beeu
too poor to pay for her own car-ticket to
Naterlmry, or that she had rcfraiaed
from buyiug her shoes there as sho
meant at first, saying that she won Id got
them at home at the store, because Mr.
Clark had Won so civil aud kind to her
always.
"Hut evil U wrought for wsntof thought,
As well s for wnt of heart."
May's old shoes soon gave out past

taken from wearing moccasins huug
about her, owing to the damp and cold
spring winds. There came on a heavy
little woroaa than ever she had or would
have.
"O Delta," said Mary, here is your
money. I am so ashamed!"
She held. out the Ave dollars, aud May
gave a little cry of joy.
"O mower, now 1 can have some
shoes!"
"What lvave I done?" said Mary,
bursting into tears and hiding her face in
iter hands,
"You havvn't meant to do anything,
dear child," said Mrs. Peek, puMing her
arm around her.
"O Delia, I didn't thiuk! I thought
five dollars couldn't be trouble to you
It was too, too bad !
"L'ivt dollars don't grow on the trees

After Bret Hurt,
to
laugh, out with ill success, for he re
n,emhored how lie had scolded about
those old shoes, und how Delia had not
said a word, only cried.
Yes, indeed! That live dollars would
have been more valuable here thau tlttv
or the hundred elsewhere; but Mary
had learned a lesson she never forgot.
May's pale, thin face, Delia's anxious
eyes, the doctors care-worn aud weary
countenance, rose up in her memory
continually to remind her that small

people; aud any debts are sure to do

storm or calm, through the wild bursts
of thunder, or treacherous aud blin Jing
snows, his solitary little sulky was
abroad on the rough hill-tops or in
lonely valleys, holding almost her life in
its frail shelter; tugged by the sturdy
horse that was only less hard-worked
than its master.
All alone with her little girl she spent
the greater part of every day and night;
hard work prevented anxiety from doing
its worst upon her, though you could see
its traces in the gray lines among the
soft w aves of her hair, and in the sad
dark eyes that when she was not smiling
looked tired with past tears.
Mary Teck was the doctor's sister.
Having a large school in a village some
miles beyond Dennis, where her brother
lived, she frequently spent her vacations
at his honse.
It was now the spring recess of two
weeks, and she wanted much to go to
Waterbury, twenty-live miles east by
rail, to do ber shopping for the summer.
She had a good salary and could well
afford to give Delia this outing, so the
tired little woman gladly consented to
start.
The doctor literally had not a cent in
his purse to give her; but she had a
knack at raising poultry, and while her
own table was well-furnished from the
great "coop," as she called it. in the
yard, the superfluous eggs had been
rapidly bought at the village store, and
she had laid np ten dollars, devoted to
shoes, stockings and calico, absolutely
needed; for she did hate to ask the doc
tor for money. Not that he grudged it
never but he never had it. Most of
his bills that were paid, were paid in
produce, and neither potatoes, buck
wheat, pork, straw, nor oats wonld serve
her purpose. She must have money for
her purchases. So she set out for Water
bury with Mary, leaving litlle Mary
with the minister's wife, and was soon
plunged into the attractive precincts of
the Waterbury dry-goods shops.
She bought her little girl a pretty
straw hat, and some ribbon to trim it,
looking sharply about her to see how it
should be trimmed.
This cost two dollars and a-half. Then
came some socks for the doctor, and four
pair of these, strong and serviceable.cost
another dollar.
In the meantime, Mary was looking at
snch pretty things that Mrs. Peck's eves
glistened. These Boft suitings were not
and running out at recess her shoes
were wet through, for the patched solos
and cracked upper leathers soaked eas
iiy. She sat all the rest of the morning
wan wet feet, and went home very
noarse.
Mrs. Peck undressed her, and looked
for some chlorate of potash in tho office-,
It was all gone. Tho doctor had filled
his bottle that morning with the last
She did not liko to leave May alone to
go to the store where a small assortment
of drugs was kept, and even if she
wonld have left her, her own old shoes
were unfit to wear.it still rained so hard
She bound some salt pork on the
child's throat, and steamed it with cam
phor, but the child grew worse and
worse, and before the doctor came home,
at midnight, she was in a high fever.
Wet feet had exasperated the cold Bho
bad before, and by the next morning she
was in the grip of pneumonia, and very
iu inueed.
The doctor scolded about her shoes;
out Mrs. reck conld no' complain to him
of his sister. She cried a little, and was
silent.
aiay grew worse, mere were many
little alleviations to be had, if her
mother could have paid for them. The
emiu pineu tor oranges, mere were
plenty at the store, but no money to
buy them with. Her cruel was sweet
ened with maple sugar, and she hated
it. She cried for coffee, and there was
none.
Only five dollars! But how Mrs. Teck
wanted it! After a long struggle l,!tle
May began to get better; her fever sub
sided; she needed tonics.
"I wish I could get a little wino for
her!" said the doctor, looking wistfully
at his wife. He knew she had money
from the sale of her eggs, but what could
she have done with it? Mrs. Peck
grew desperate. She could not see her
darling so weak and w.hite with any
patience.
Suddenly she bethought herself of the
calico dress she hud boucht. Perhaps
Mr.' Clark would take it. for it Lad tever
been unfolded. But how could she get
it to the store?
Luckily the doctor had an hour to spare
after tea that day, so while ho stayed
with May, she put on his shoes and went
down w ith the bundle. Mr. Clark was
glad to buy the dress.

uoiu, ana it gave ner almost as much
pleasure to help Mary select her things
as if they were to replace her own black
alpaca ana worn shawl.
When it came to her own turn to buy
a calico, she was as pleased as if it had
been a summer silk, to find a neat skirt
and jacket of pretty pattern.all made np,
for a dollar and a half. The rest of her
money must be saved for shoes. These
she conld get at the store in Dennis; a
pair for her and a pair for little Mary.
Shopping is attractive, bnt it absorbs
money very fast. When Mary Peck had
bought her suit, her wrap, gl cs, stock
ings and handkerchiefs, and ordered a
white chip hat to be trimmed with pale
blue ribbon and blush roses just the
thing to decorate her lovely complexion,
dark curls and violet eyes she found to
her amazement her purse had given out.
"Delia," she said, "have you done
your shopping?"
"Yes, de.r."
"And hsve you any money? '.
"Yes; five dollars and ten cents."
"Oh, how lucky! Will you lend me
the five dollars? I am really penniless.
My hat came to more than I thought it
wouia cost, and as soon as I got back to
Charlemont, I wll send the money to
you."
"Certainly, dear," and Mrs. Peck drew
ont the precious bill, and handed it to
Mary, not doubting what ebe said and
very glad she was to be able to help her.
The ten cents she spent in oranges for
little Mary, balf-blaming herself for the
extravagance, but then Mary was her
city?
well, it is amazing how they can make
em so cheap.
Mrs. Peck did not stay to hear any
more, one went to ttie old maiden lady
who "had the name" of making currant
wine as good as any imported article
and bonght a bottle of her at an exor
bitaut price, but as Miss Davis earnestly
sain:
"It's seven years old, and think of
them worms! I haint made a drop for
two year bacn; and it s dreadful healin
I don't want to part with none on't
miter but seeing it's you "
And Mrs. Peck again cut short a dis
course, burryinKhome with herpreeirm
bottle, thinking no inoro of her calico
dress when she saw the doctor's tired
face light u; and a little color flicker in
May's face aft r the first tcasuoonful
had been car.tiously administered.
By the tiru i Aunt Mary stopped at
Dennis, on her way to Ludlow, May was
able to sit up aguiust her pillows; and
Annt Mary was shocked to see how pale

"You precious littlo morsel," she said
"How did you ever get such a dreadful
cold to begin with?"
a i m

Aunty. Mower couldn't got me any new

Still Mary did not think why it was
that "mower" could not got them,
though the weak, pathetic voice brought
tears to ner eyes. She had on her new
cambric dre's, the dress that meant so
much to Mary and her mother; and when
.Delia admired it, she said:
X tried to cut it like that pretty
only child a little delicate creature at jacket to your calico, Delia; but didn't
that, holding her mother's heart in her
band, as such children do.
They got back at night to Dennis very
tired. The day bnt one after, Mary
returned to Charlemont, Two days
after little May whom for distinction
her mother called May came home
from school with her shoes broken across
the sole. They must be mended. The
cobbler was a patient of the doctor's, so
the shoos most be sent to him. Mary
scuffled about in a pair of moccasins and

Her Sunday shoes -were worn out two
weeks before, and so worn she could not
quite remember about the neck. Let

The doctor's wife blnshod. "I haven't
got it, Mary."
"Why, child, what on earth did you do
with it? Didn't it suit you?"
"Don't ask me too many questions,
dear,'' said Mrs. Peck, trying to laugh.
"I can tell you," said the doctor, com
ing in from the next room where he was
sitting. "I found her out yesterday,
Lolly. She sold it at the store to buy
her baby a bottle of wine," and the doo
