" Well, L -must go," th : visitor went
on, rising. " I wish I o. old do some-
thing for -her, but, with .. y houseful of
children, I've got use for ; very penny I
oan rake and scrape."
•` I'm sure I have, with only myself,
said Miss Bennett, as a e closed the
door. " I'm sure I have,' she repeated
to herself as she resumed her knitting ;
"it's as mochas loan do to make egds
meet, scrimping as I do, of to speak of
laying up a .cent • for sic ess and old
/gee,
"Bat the poorhouse!" a said again.
" I wish I could help er 1" and the
needles flew in and . on , i -n and out,
faster than ever, as she to ned this over
in her mind. "I might give np some-
thing," she said at last, " t ongh I don't
know what, unless—mil se," she said
slowly, thinking of her wn luxury,
unless I give up my tea, and it don't
seem as if I could do that.'
Some time the'thought orked in,her
mind, and finally he resol ed to make
the sacrifice of her only i diligence for
six months, and send the oney to her
suffering neighbor, Mre. St nley, though
she had never seen her, a d had only
heard she was in want.
How much of a sacrifice hat was yon
oan hardly guess, you young people who
have so many luxuries.
That evening Mrs. Stan ey was sur-
prised by a small gift of m ney "From
a friend," said the envelop containing
it.
" Who sent it ?" she ask , from the
bed where she was lying.
"Miss Bennett told me -n: t to tell,"
said the boy, unconscious .t at he had
already told.
The next day Miss Benne t sat at'the
window knitting, as usual— or her con-
stant contribution to the p r fund of
the church was a certain number of
stockings and mittens—who=. she saw a
young girl coming up to the door of the
cottage.
" Who can that be ?" e said to
herself.. " I never saw er before.
Come in 1" she called, in a ewer to a
knock. The girl entered, : nd walked.
up to Miss Bennett.
" Are you Miss Bennett ?"
"Yes," said Mies Benne
amused smile.
Well, I'm Hetty Stanley
Miss Bennett started, and her color
grew a little brighter.
"I'm glad to see you, Et tty," she
said ; won't you sit down ;'
" Yes, if yon please," said : etty, tak
ing a chair near her.
"I came to tell you," she o egan sim-
ply, " how much we love you for—"
Oh, don't ! don't say a, y more 1"
interrupted Miss Bennett "never
mind that ! Tell me about y. nr mother
and your baby brother."
This was an interesting an a pot, and
Hetty talked earnestly about t, and the
time paescd Eo quickly that, Before she
the knew it, she had bean in the
house an hour. When he went
away Miss Bennett aske a her to
come again, a thing she as never

`• But then Hetty's different " she said
to herself, e hen wondering erself at
her own interest.
4' Did s ou thank kind Miss ennett,"
was her mother's question as s e opened
the door. .
Hefty stopped as if strut " Why,
no ! I dol 't believe Ltxid."
a And stayed so long, too ? atever
did you do ? I've heard she i n't fond
of people generally."
" We talked, and I think sh. 's ever so
nice. She asked me to co e agian ;
may I?"
Of course yon may, if she cares to
have you. I should be glad to do some-
thing to please her."
That visit of Betty's was th : first of
a long serled. Almost ever • day she
found her way to the lonel cottage,
where a visitor rarely cam:, and a
strange intimacy grew up bet '•een the
old and the young. Hetty I:arned of
her friend to knit, and many an hour
they spent knitting while Miss Bennett
ransacked her • memory for tones to
tell. Aird then, one day, she brought
down from a big chest in t . e garret
two of the books she used to h ve when
she was young, and let Hetty look at
them.
One was " Thaddeus of Mars : w," and
the other " Scottish Chiefs.' Poor
Hetty had not the dozen of books you
have, and these were treasures indeed.
She read them to herself, and :he read
them aloud to Miss Bennett, w a o, much
to her own surprise, found her interest
almost as eager as Hefty's. _
All thia_time Christmas was erawiing
near, and strange unusual feel rigs be=
gan to stir in Miss Bennetts heart,
though generally she did _n t think
much about that happy ti•me.. S A e want-
ed to make petty a happy day. Money
she had none, so she went into ,he gar-
ret where her youthful treasu es had
long been hidden..' From th chest
where she had tak•rn the books he now
took a small box of light-colore B wood,
with a transferred engraving on the
saver. With a sigh—for the sig B t of it
brought up old memories—Mi:s Ben-
nett: lifted the cover by its loop of rib -
ben,, took out a paokage of old letters,
and went dawn stairs with the box,
taking also a few bits of bright si, k from
a handle in the chest. r.
"I can int it np for a work -bo. ," she
said, " and I'm euro Hetty will like it."
For many days after this Mi::s Ben-
nett had her secret work, wh ch ishe
carefully hid when she saw Hefty
coming. Slowly, in this way, sh- made
a pretty needle -book, a tiny pin -c shion,
and an emery bag like a big stra • berry.
Then from her'own scanty stoc . added'.
needles, pins, thread, and her on y pair
of small scissors, scoured to th : last
extrerae of brightness. One thine only
she had to buy—e thimble e an that
she bought for a penny, of b+ass so
bright it was quite as handsome : s gold.
Very pretty the little box iobkee when
full ; in the bottom lay a quilted ining,
which had always been there, ani upon
this the fittings she had made. ' esides
this, Miss Bennett knit a pair f mit-
tens for each of Hetty's broths s and
sisters.
The happiest girl in town on Christ-
mas morning was Hetty Staple . To
begin with, she had the delight of giving
the mittens to the children, and when

,pleased • they were, she was

she pondered over it long, an all day
seemed absent-minded.
After tea, when they sat afore the
kitchen fire, as they always id., with
only the firelight flickering an dancing
on the walls, while they l nitued, or
told stories, or talked, e. told
Hetty about her father ; that he ' had

that he had plent4 of mo ey and
would leave enough to take ea a of his
