" Now, father, you jest lift this drawer
out, so's to make sure it aint slipped down
behind. Sometimes things will."
Abel Lewton lifted out the top .drawer
of the eecretary. Then he and his wife
peered anxiously' into ehe narrow spece be.
hind it.
"It aint there," said Mrs, Lawton. She
turned away, and 'slipped her spectacles up
over her anxious forehead. "There aint
any use lookin' any farther, as I on see."
Abel slid the drawer in again, adjusting
it with some difficulty. Then he sat down
in a chair near the stove, and atretched his
feet out en the hearth.
His wife stood looking at him. She was
a tall, pale women, and her face was distort-
ed with perplexity.
"What are you goin' to doabout it, fath-
er ?" said she. " You cant lose that ten dol-
lars, anyhow."
"I know one thing," returned Abel. I
never took that money out of the house, and
I put it right in the southeastecorner of that
top secretary drawer."
"You know- you're dreadful forgitful,
father."
"1 5on't know as I'm any more forgitful
than other folks. I know where I put that
money, and I know I aint touched it tinoe.
• " You're sure you aint put, it anywhere
else?"
Abel shook his head with an Obstinate
air.
"Well, we've looked everywhere in the
house that I can think of.' said Mrs. Law-
ton. "We've looked in all your pockets,
and I've emptied all the secretary and
bureau drawers. I can't think of any other
place to hunt, unless it's-"
She etoeptd, aud Ole and Abel looked at
each other.
"1 ale got any such idea as that," said
Abe),
Well, I aint, either, but we don't know
anything about her, and she came from a
low-down family. I aint seen a thing out of
the way in her since she came here, and I've
got, to thinkin' a good deal of her myself,but
you cant alsveys tell by appearances; and
that secretary drawer was unlocked and
dreadful handy." '
"1 never see a nicer appea.rin' girl,",
said Abel, "and- she's took right hold
and helped you ever since Aunt Ithedy went
away."
"1 don't know what I should have
done without her," returned his wife, "and
she's been to meetin' and Sunday sohool,and
her clothes are fixed up 80 she looks as nice
as any of, the girlie,1 cant believe it. But
where's that money gone to ?"
" It aleft gone without hands," said Abel,
gloomily. 1
'1 Course it aint, father. I think we ought
to look in her thine.
" Mebbe we had.r
"1 don't see no other way. You can't
lose that ten dollar. I'll sent her down to
the store to get some narrates, and then
we'llilook." 1
Mrs. Lawton opened the door. "Johan-
na 1" she called.
"Yes, ma'am," came in response from
somewhere in te upper part of the house.
"Come down here. I want to see you
about something." •
" Yes, ma'am,"
Mrs. Lawton closed the door and waited.
" I hate to do it, awfully," she said, in a
trembling voice.
Presently there were quick steps on the
stairs, and Johanna came in and stood looke
ing inquiringly at Mrs. Lawton. She Was a
slight young girl, and stooped a little.
"I want you to put on your coat and hat,
and go down to the store and get half a
pound of sal 'lettere" Said Mrs. Lewton, in a
dry voice.
She packed up some dishes on the kitchen
table, and avoided looking at Johanna.
Abel bent over the stove, with his hded on
his hands.
"Yet, ma'am," replied Johanna. She
got her hood and shawl out of the entry,
and put them on, Then she stood waiting.
" What you waitiu' fer ?" asked Mrs,
Lawton.
"The money."
Mrs, Lawton started. "You can tell Mr.\
Pierce I'll be in aud pay for it," Abel spoke
up, in a gruff voice.
Johanna looked at him as if she were
startled.
"Yes, sir," she said, and went Cut at
Once.
Mrs. Lawton set a dish down on the table
with a thud. "Come, - father," said she.
"I want to go right up, and have it over
with before she comes back. It won't take
her long."
Abel got up reluctantly. "1 call it
pretty piece of business 1" he grunted.
"So do 1, It's the first time I ever sus-
pected anybody in my house of stealin', an'
I don't really now. I don't imagine we
shall find a thing, but I'm goin' to be sure."
The old man followed his wife up the un-
carpeted stairs, which creaked at his every
step. Mrs. Lawton opened the door of a
chamber near the head of the stairs. It
was a pleasant south roonewith comfortable
old-fashioned furniture,
"1 don't imagine we shall find a thing,'
Mrs. Lawtonsaid again. She went to the
bulky mahogany bureau, and epened the top
drawer.
Abel peered over her • shoulder. The
drawer containedelome neatly folded little
girlish ribbons and neck-ruffies. ,
"-
"1 gave her some of theee things
Mary had," Mrs. Lawton whispered. "1
thought they might as well do somebody
some good," She turned over the ribbons
tenderly. "There ain't anything here,"
she said, in a tearful voice. .
She opened the next drawer, and turned
over the contents; then the next and next.
I E There aint any money here," said she,
finally. 11 The poor -child keeps her drawer
packed up_ reel nice,"
Abel went to the fire -place, and opened a
little old-fashioned closet higb up in the
chimney -side. •
"1 wouldn't rummage that all over," said
Mrs. Lawton, "There ain't any use. We
sha'n't find it, and I'm glad of it. I'd rath-
er lose a hundred dollars than find it here."
Suddenly Abel turned. "Look here,
mother !" he said, in a solemn voice. He
held out a bank note toward her.
" Father 1 It,aint
" Yes, 'tis."
"Where'd you find it ?"
"In the eouthwest corner of the, top shelf
-under the towel."
"Oh, dear me 1" gasped Mrs. Lawton.
She took the'note from.her husband's hand
and examined it; then she looked up at the
top shelf of the closet. There, on a neatly
-
folded towel, lay a girl's hat, trimmedwith
blue velvet and a Wee feather,
"Teere's her best hat," said Niro. Law-
ton, 11 that I had Miss Store fix up for•

She turned to the table, and was knead-
ing somabread when Johanna entered. She
did not turn her head. Johanna came to
the table land laid 1 down the package of
saleratus ; Ibut Mrs. Lawton did not act as
if she knew the girl hed come in. _
Johanna itook off bee heed and shawl, and
hung there up in the entry. Her heart beat
loudly; she felt frightened without know-
ing why. , When she eame back she stood
warming her cold, thin little hands at the

Lawton's back. I
Suddenly Mrs. Lawton turned. "Johan-

"I've got something, to say to you, and I
may as well say it 'an' have it over with.

Abel's voice broke. Mrie Lawton sobbed
outright, and they went down stairs.
In the middle of the night, Mies. Lawton
crept to the foot of the stairs. She had heard
Johanna's voice, and weakened. Johanna
seemed to be praying.
"0 Lord," she was saying, " don't let
me tell 'em that I did it -don't let me
tell 1"
Mrs, Lewton went back to bed bewil-
dered.
In the worming she got breakfast all ready
before she went up to Johanna's room.
When she opened the door, the girl sat ,on
the bed looking at her. She had not un-
dressed all night. Her girlish face looked
lee years older.
"L didn't 1" said she. " I didn't take it,
Mis' Lawton 1"
There was a certain piteous defiance in her
manner, Mrs. Lawton lookedseverer than
she had ever done,
"Well," said she, "you ootne down Oahe
and eat your breakfast, an' I'll get father te
h arness.
Johanna obeyed. She went' down stairs
and ate the breakfast that Mrs. Lawton
bade her eat. She did not ory any more.
There waa a miserable resolution in her
face.
• After breakfast Abel went out to harness
the horse and Mrs. Lawton packed up Jo-
hanna's little possessions. She hesitated
over Mary's little ribbons and ruffles, but
finally she put then into the old valise.
Johanna waited down in the kitchen. She
uuderstood that Mrs. Lawton would not
trust her to pack the valise, for fear she
should put in some stolen property.
Abel had put the horse in the light wag-
on, and tied him to the post at the gate.
Then he had gone to the store; he had re-
solved that he would not carry Johanna
back to the almshouse.
Mrs. Lawton had to go herself. She
shoved the valice in at the back of the weg-
oo, and at beside Johanna on the seat and
drove. There was a motherly-oseverity
about her broad sholder8 • in the cashmere
shawl. She was becoming hardened by Jo-
hanna's defiance.
The almshouse was half a mile distant.
Neither spoke a wurd all the way. When
they reached the place Mrs; Lawton left Jo -
henna in the wagon a few minutes while ehe
spoke to the overseer's wife. Then ehe told
her to get out, gave her the valise, and bade
her good-bye. . „
Her voice trembled, and tears stood in her
eyes.
"1! ever you make up your mind to own
up how wicked you've been, you must let
me know, Johanna," said she; father an'
I have always meant well by you."
Mrs. Lawton drove off, and Johanna tug-
ged her valise miserably into the almshouse.
Mrs. Brown, the overseer's wife, stood in
.the doorway.
"Well, I must say, you aint showed
much sense," said she. "1 should have
• thought you'd known whioh side your bread
was buttered,better'n to have stole that mon-
ey,'"
"I didn't 1"
• "Now, Johanna, there &int no need of
• you're talkin' that kind of talk. You know
you stole it, an' you'd ought to go to jail.
Now you go an put on that old dress you
left here, and clean:the potatoes for dinner.
You'll find out if you've come beak here,
that you've got to work."
Mre. 13rown was herself overworked and
irascible. Johanna, putting herself into her
poor old discarded dress, knew well enough
what was before her. Her past seemed
stretching beyond her into the future. -
She was fifteen now, and the almshouse
-had been her home, with the exception of
'the last six -Months at the Lawson's, ever
since she was ten. She had come there after
her mother's death.
Johanna was so delicate that none of the
farmers' wives wanted her merely for the
sake of the work she could do, now that the
Lawton's, who had taken her because they
away. werelonelywithout Mary, had turned her
There were about twenty paupers beside
herself, most of them old people, some of
them idiotic with age and want. Nobody
was glad to see her save one old womareand
she did not believe her innocent,but pleaded
with her daily to confess and return.
"You're a dreadful silly gal,if you don't,"
said she.
The overseer was surly, and much rough-
er with her than his wife, Both of them
kept her constantly at work. She grew
thin, and stooped more. The.old woman
told her she would go into a decline if she
staid there, She found: the , life harder
than ever before.
•
She had been in the ialmshouse three
weeks, when Abel Leivtbe came and begged
her again to confess. "I'll take you right
home with me," intid he; "mother's got
supper all ready."
But Johanna would not confess.
The overseer's wife was very hard upon
her after Abel had gone. "You don't work
enough to earn your salt," said she, " an' I
don't want a thief in the house, for my part.
I've got things I think a good deal nf, as
well as the Lawtons."
It was four weeks after that, when Mrs:
Lawton came with Abel. Johanna, washing
dishes at the kitchen-sink,heard their voices
out in the yard, talking to the overseer,
Then Mrs. Lawton came in hastily. Though
not a 'demonstrative woman, she caught Jo-
hanna, and hugged and kissed her.
"Oh, you poor child !" she panted.
"You poor child' ! Go an' get your things
on, an' pack your bag, an' come right home
with me.'.'
She turned to Mrs. Brown, who, with
two or three old paupers, was listening
open-mouthed. "Johanna didn't take that
money," she went on. "Aunt Bluely, she
come yesterday. Abner drove her over
from Stoughton; an' first thing she did was
to go straight to that chimney cupboard in
Johanna's chamber, after a ten -dollar bill
she'd hid away there in the corner of the
top shelf under -the towel. And she made
an awful to-do when she found out 'twee
gone.
"Father an' I never, _thought of Aunt
Rhody's havin' ten dollars anyhow; but
John give it to her three years ago, she said,
an' she'd kep it, an' never let on she had it.
She didn't want to take it to Abner's, be -
cowls they'd had burglare,sta she hid it there.
She didn't know 't I was pin' to have any-
body else in that chamber.
" Well, father an' me see then Johanna
hadn't stole that ten dollars,but we couldn't
tell any more where his that he'd saved up
for the grain -bill had gone ; an' we puzzled
over that all last night. But this moroine
father he thought he'd go down to the store
an' pay that bill, • •
"He'd used that ten dollars he took from
the cupboard for something elee after all,
an' -there he'd paid it, an clean forgot it!
He's dreadful forgitful, but I never knew
him to do anything quite so bad as this be-
fore. Than he come home, an' told of it,
an' cried, he felt so bad, an' he paid that
ten dollars back to Aunt Rhody.
"Johanna, you'd better go and get ready
poor child, for the horse don't like to steed
very well, this cold weather."
When Johanna was seated between Mr,
and Mrs. Lawton, and riding sway from
the almshouse, she cried, she was so happy.
"Don't ory, poor child, its all over now,"
said Mrs. Lewton. But, her own voice
shook. "I'm goin' to make over a pretty
red dress, that I've got laid by, for you,"
"You sha'n't go away again, as long as
there's a roof, over our own heads," said
Abel, huskily. "Don't you worry, Johan-
na. You were a real good girl not to tell a
lie, an' say you -took that money, when you
didn't.''
"It's jest what Mary would have done,"
said Mrs. Lawton. "1 never see such a
truthful girl as she was. I don't believe you
could have made her tell a lie. Johanna
behaved jest the way Mary would,"

• Our Hungry Grandmothers.
The girls at boarding -school in the days
df our grandmothers found the rules stricter
than they are in our day; and sometimes the
feel rights and necessities of youth were ig-
nored.
The famous boarding -school of Miss Cath-
erine Beecher -sister of Harriet Beecher
Stowe, who was her assistant principal -
110 exception. Miss Beecher was in ad-
vance of her time in her belief in the im-
portance of proper physical oars for girls;
bet her ideas as to the kind of care which
Was proper did not always meet the views of
her pupil's. Moreover, while she was plan-
ning new experiments in diet-, the cantrol of
tlie table was sometimes left entirely to the
housekeeper, whose administration was
quite too economioal.
A daughter of The Companion's founder,
Nathaniel Willis, used to relate to her
children many escapades of the hungry, un-
derfed girls in search of feed.
Once they employed a less violent method
to improve their diet. The teachers used to
sit together at one end of the long table at
meal -times, and the girls observed that they
were accorded an unfair advantage in hav-
ing food set before them of better quality,
though the same in kind as that of the pupils.
The narrator of the story determined to
set the matter right, and slipping into the
dining -room just before the bell rang, she.
Changed the dishes of butter at the two ends
of the table.
,When the school aesembled for dinner, all
eyes were turned stealthily upon Miss Beech-
er; who presently helped herself to butter,
'Spread a bit of bread, and tasted it, She
paused; tasted again; sniffed dubiously at the
offending morsel; nibbled at its edge sniffed
once more, and hid it down beside' her
plate. Turning to the housekeeper, She re-
marked :
," This butter is not the same as usuel,
Mrs. A -There is something the matter
with it."
The daring pupil's opportunity had come.
'While her comrades held their breath in ex-
pectation of coming wrath, she deliberately
changed back the dishes, explaining quietly
as she did so :
" Oh no, Miss Beecher, it is just as usual ;
only there has been a change in the dishes.
We have yours and you have ours."
After that the girls had nothing to com-
plain of in regard to butter, and indeed
there was a general improvement, for Miss
Beecher had not been aware Of the unfair
discrimination, and did not permit it to
continue.
But she really did not appreciate the
hearty appetites of growing girls, and be-
lieved, like many others at that time, in
light food and in lese than moderate eating.
It was the period of slim waists' ssiff stays,
and an admiration for women ofthe delicate
and ethereal type; when it was thought
(sperm for a girl to eat heartily, or attach
much importance to food.
13ut at length ten of the hungriest and
brightest scholars found a way to convince
their excellent principal of her mistake in
believing that the most digestible of graham
rolls and hygienic dishes could properly
nourish girls who were not allowed suffici-
ent meat, and were discouraged from pass-
ing their plates a second time for anything.
They simply invited her to a dinner fur-
nished by a caterer, from whom had been
ordered a delieioas meal, and taught her by
experience what pahtable food was, how
harmless is could be, and how much they,
and she, could eat of it.
The lesson thus gracefully given by the
ingenious ten was successful, and all the
girls of Miss Beecher's-school dined the bet-
ter' for it thereafter.
• No Protection From Heat.
Look again when July comes, and the sun
is pouring down, and the laborer, .tripped
alreiost to the skin, is delving or working,
and dripping with perspiration. Watch
him as he goes in front of that saloon; you
will see him go in and take exactly the same
beverage that he took last January to keep
off the cold. You meet him at the door and
ask him why he spends his money for such
a purpose. From his very aspect you judge
that his family are poor, endear° perhaps,
needing the necessities of life. Ile will re-
ply: "Oh ! I cannot steed this heat with-
out something to protect me from it "-ex-
actly reversing the case. It warmed him
in january, and now it keeps him cool -the
same delusion! "It protects him from the
heat." The sun's rays permeate him as
freely with the alcohol in his blood as it
would without it, but he does not realize
it; ond hence hundreds and hundreds year
sfter year persist in this practice till ',per-
haps sunstroke arrests them and sudden
death follows. Leave the brain clear and
free from the anesthetic effect of alcohol,
and rthey well know when to get on the
shady aide. I mention these points limply
as iliustrations. Step by step the progress
of scienoe has nullified every theory on
which the physician administers alcohol.
A Curious Fee.
In an interview which took place before
his death, and which is publ:shed in the
Strand Magazine, Sir Morel' Mackenzie tells
how be onoe received a curious fee. •An
old man came to me," he said, " I examin-
ed his throat, and at once saw it was in a
terribly bad state, I asked him why he
had not come to see me sooner. His reply
amused me very much. You see, sir,' he
said, '1 hadn't got a guinea. I always
thought a physician wouldn't see anybody
without a spade guinea, and at last I've got
one. Here it is, and I thank you very
much.
