"Yea. that’s a fact/* spoke up Tom.
“and there * lota wants to be done. I d
like to clear that five-acre lot for po-
tatoes and corn, but I can’t do It."
"And the house wants shingling.’’ her
mother said plaintively, her careworn
©buntenance taking on another shadow.
"The front door’s got a crack all the
way acroaa." Tom spoke up again, "and
•here ought to he a fireplace III granny’s

we can do to keep the hay dry."
"I know all that." aald 8usy, "I know
the house Is getting to he a scare-crow,
and the barrr la worse, and that’s why
I want to be earning. As for the
shingles. I should think you could put
them on yourself. Tom; yea, and mend
the door."
"Where’s the shingles?" Tom asked
In his matter of fact way. "Whore’a the
nails? Where’s the hammer? The old
one Is broken past mending. And
where’s the money to get them with* I
should like to know?"
"Bur© enough." said fc'usy, "unless 1
could earn it. That's why I want to
sell llrown Bess."
"And If you do sell her, you won't
get much." Tom said. "8he*s so full of
her tricks—tho craziest colt 1 ever
saw!"
"I'm more and more afraid to have

"Mr. Lee, I have made up my mind to
sell Brown Bess." she aald, after getting
the things she needed- "Bo you know

"Dear roe! going to sell Brown Besa!
Well, 1 waa thinking of buying a young
horse for my Allot. la she safe for
a gtrl of ten, do you thinkr* the grocer
asked.
Huay grew pale. Hhe had not antici-
pated a question of that sort, but she
answered after a moment's Indecision.
"Hhe la fond of taking her own head
sometimes No. Mr. Lee. If I find It
hard to manage her. the would never
do for your little girl."
"Ah, I’m sorry for that. Miss Huay,"
aald the storekeeper. "Hut I know a
man who wants a spirited horse. What
would you sell her for?"
"I leave that to the purchaser." Busy
made answer. "Paf»a paid seventy-five
dollars for her more than a year ago,
and I wouldn't want to take leas than
that, for I need the money very much.’’
she went on. "and If you will Ik* so
kind as to take an Interest In the mat-
ter—--" Hhe stopped, her eyes wist-
ful.
"Why. of course I will." the grocer
responded. "Ill send my boy to your
house with the groceries, and he can
bring the horse back with him If any-
thing Is done In the wuy of a sale. I'll
let you know at once."
Busy thanked him and went on her
way home. As she came In sight of
the house, an old-fashioned, two-story
building, where dilapidation waa rend-
ered picturesque by a profuse growth
of Ivy that covered the front porch and
much of the exterior wulls. she felt more
comfortable as she thought *over her
prospects. In Imagination she hnd her
mother quite reconciled to all her plans,
her school-life assured and all thlnga
going on swimmingly. For who knew
but Brown Hess might bring her a hun-
dred dollars, she was so spirited and
handsome?
W ork and home seemed brighter. The

It was a warm September day. Even In
the midst of her anxiety, the beauty of
the ride to lllllston soothed and de-
