There's your father comlngl" Mr. Jolxon fell metaphorical ly speaking, like a wet blanket on tho bosom of his family. They all trem bled as he came In. Chnrley dropped the "Itoblnson Cruoe" that ho wan rending, and deftly substituted an nrlthmetlc In Its place. Juliet sewed harder than ever at her patchwork. Mm. Jobson made hnsto to fling an other log upon the tire, nnd Uie old grandmother In the comer drew her knit woolen shawl closer around her shoulders with a little shudder. "Dear me!" said Sir. Jobson; "dear me! It's Just as I said. There's an other cold wnvo coming from tbo northwest, and coal Is two shillings a ton higher. Goodnes knows what's to become of us all." Presently he looked around Inquir ingly. "KU7 How7 What's that I smell Chickens? Actually chickens roasting! Where' the cold pork that was left from yesterday's dinner?" "I thought," said Mrs, Jobson apolo getically, "that as we bad so many young chickens coming on " "Every one of those chickens," said Mr. Jobsou, speaking slowly and counting off the syllables on his An gers, "will be ns good as a crown piece when the holidays come on. Poul try Is going up up up, as steadily as a rocket, and here you are roasting It for an everyday dinner. I never saw such an extravagant manager as you are, Jane. Hereafter I shall count tho fowls, and If one Is taken awny, I hall take means to know tho reason why. And those In tbls bouse who are too dainty to cat cold pork may live on bread and cheese." Mrs. Jobson murmured something about "trying to do what seemed right ' always," and a gloomy alienee fell over the whole group. "There's the wing of the old kitch en," said he. "I'vo put Naomi Brush out of It tbls morning." Mrs. Jobson looked up In surprise. "Put Naomi Brush out?" she repeat ed; "and what Is the poor soul going to dor 'That's her lookout,'- said Mr. Job on; "she has preyed long enough on me and mine. live got an offer of a crown a month from Tom Dlggs for the old room. And I may as well say, now, that I don't at all approve of the way you women have been going on about old Naomi. I never could teach you the necessity for being economical. How am I oyer to pay Jones tho two hundred pounds that I owo blm. If this Is the way we are to go on? How" But here the old grandmother spoke out In a mild tone. "Not by being economical at tho ex pense of other people, Calvin," said she gently. "God has said. 'Give, and It shall be given unto you.' Ho has not said, 'Hcrape and pinch, and grind the faces of the poor, nnd yon wll get rich.' Naomi Brush Is solitary and friendless, and when yon turned her from tho sole shelter she has, you did a cruel and un generous thing." And, taking up her knitting, the good old woman went quietly out of tho room. The children all stared. Mm. Jobson looked apprehensively ut her husband, nnd Mr. Jobson him xolf turned all manner of colors, "Tlmt settles the matter," said Mr. .TobKon hoarsely to hltnwlf, as lie walk ed out of tho house wljh bis hands In bis pockets, "It Isn't every son-in-law who would have borne tho burden of ti helpless old woman as cheerfully as I have done. Hut when Mrs. Price un dertakes to dictate to me, she assumes n little too much. I'll tell Jane, this afternoon, that she must find some other homo for her mother. I supposo Hbe'll cry and make a great fuss over It, but I can't help that Grandmother must go, I don't at nil doubt that It's Hbe who has been putting Jano up to all tbls senseless extravagunco In tho matter of charity. In bis Intent self-absorption he al most stumbled over a portly little man in a fur-trimmed overcoat, who had ben coming In his direction with a res olute step, "Oh, It's you, Is It, Squlro Jones?" Mild bo obsequiously. "Yes, It's me," said the squire, rccov- snMi" 8 fv&Sm1 Masking Negatives,- Very effective results can be obtained by masking negatives so that a narrow white line appears around the border. To do this It Is necessary to have some masks cut to definite sixes, but as very many are often required to suit the necessary size of picture required It Is n somewhat troublesome business to cut out so ninnj of them. A very simple plan Is to make two right angles of some opaque material, such ns the back ing of roll film. If these two right angles are miule sutllclriitly long and wide, they eau lx utilised for very many various nixes, wiy, from half-plate downward. The method Is to place them over the tllm side of the negative, so as to Inclose the requisite amount of view, and then to temporarily tack the two llccvs together with stamp edging. The sensitive paper Is then carefully adjusted over nil, and the printing proceeded with. Ex. erlng his equilibrium with some dllll- culty, "I was Just coming to see you, Jobson, about that little note of yours. 1 think I told J on Inst week tlmt 1 wanted the money. And I wish you to understand that I must have It. or I shall find myself compelled to foreclose on the mortgage." Mr. Jobson grew pale. "Isn't this rnther sudden?" said be faintly. The squire shrugged his shoulders. "What would you have?" said he. "The money Is overdue, and there's a considerable amount of Interest still unpaid. To tell you the truth. Jobson, I don't like this way of doing business, and I want my money oue week from to-day." Mr. Jobson tore his hair. Two hundred pounds," he cried. "And In n wcok. Why, who ever heard of anything so ttniel?" "Cruel!" echoed the squire. Is It cruet of a business man to want his own back agnln? You should have thought of that beforo you borrowed It" And the squire walked on. Mr. Jobson kept bis weary wny, rack ing his brains to conjure up some es cape out of the dilemma. Two hun dred pounds! And In a weckl How was tho thing to be dono? lly the side of a miserable old shanty by tho road there was assembled a. lit tle knot of women. They whispered and glanced at blm as be passed. He stopped mechanically. "What's the matter?" said he. "It's old Naomi Brush," said they. "She's dead. "Dead, Is she?" said Mr. Jobson curt ly. "She ought to have died half a dozen years ago," When be came some In the clear win ter twilight, he had fully resolved to cut down all unnecessary excuses. Grandmother must go. "If there's no other place for her," he reasoned, "there are plenty of Homes for Aged nnd Indigent Wom en,' where I dare say we could get her Jn. Her Influence over Jane Isn't good. Hhe teaches her to give to every tramp and beggar that comes along. Grand, mother must go!" Hut, as he came In, Mr, Jobson met him at the door. "Oh, Calvin," she cried breathlessly, "what do you think has happened? Old Naomi Ilrush, poor soul, Is dead. Khe died suddenly of that heart dllltculty which lias been hanging over her so long!" "Humph!" said Mr. Jobson. "And what is nil that to me, I'd Ilko to know?" "More than you think," said Mrs. Jobson eagerly. "They found two hun dred pounds, Calvin yen, two buu dred pounds hidden away In a bag of rags which had formed her pillow for more years than anybody could remem ber. And there was a scrap of a will In her dress pocket, which Lawyer Hyde says Is perfectly legal and cor rect nnd every penny of It Is left to whom do you supiwsc? Why, to grandmother. To grandmother, who was so good to her for so many years," "Yes," said the old lady mildly, "And I am goliu to give It to you, Calvin, to help you out with that debt to Kqulro Jones. Money Is of no use to me, except as It may bo of aid to my daughter and her husband and In tho country which I am Hearing ho fast, one of old Naomi Brush's prayers will be of more vulue to mo than all tho gold which was over minted," "Grandmother," said Calvin Jobson, with a suffocating lump In his throat, "I don't deserve this. No, I don't! I'm a mean, grasping, avaricious " "nush, my son," said the old lady, "hush! Wo all have our fallings. Hut we are none of us too old to leuru but ter. So the nlifhtmaro of a debt was paid and grandmother still sltfl by tho Job fton Hreslde, And Calvin Is a wiser and a better man for tho lesson ho has had.
