Mr. Gallup held tho paper In his left
hand and leached down hl right in
scratch his heel through his nock, hut
he was dumb. Mrs. (Jnllup looked nl
him through her tears for ;i time nud
then choked down u sob nnd suld:
"Well. If you don't miss me I iiui'i

member that I wore the same bounet

alius made a pair of shoes lust three
years. Haven't I done purty well all
thlugs considered?"
Mr. Gallup might have agreed with
her, but If ho did ho didn't say so
aloud. IIo crossed his legs tho other
way and scratched the other heel, and
when Mrs. Gallup could restrain her
tears sho ebserved:
"I ain't leavln this house the way

socks and everything In tho usual
place, and you won't have to sew on a

and scour out the dlshpan If I hare

heaven, then I want to look down and
see that I've left everything In order.

She looked directly at Mr. Gallup
and waited for a reply, but he was
reading how to make a hammock out
of a flour barrel, and he paid no heed
to tho question.
"And are all angels purty, Samueir
sho continued after awhile. "I've nev
