MISS PERSIS.
fan Pathetic Story of Homelf ud
Hr DoiL
I tkink she always must have Itwn JUd "Ml" Persia, even when she
wm it child that is, if she ever wm
wild. Perhaps she had not always
wars, her hair smoothly combed down behind her ears and fastened in a tight knot behind with a horn comb; perhaps aha had not always dressed in a black gown, with stiff, sharp folda, or had headless gaiters on her large, bony feet; hat I don't think Miss Persia eould have ever been a real ehild. The house she lived in was a good teal like Miss Persia, only it was very mall. Still, it seemed to be trying to live p to Iter pattern as well aa it eould. It stood lengthwise with the road. It had a door in the middle that led Into a tiny square hall from which epened on one side the darkened and unused country parlor, and on the ether the living-room, only in Mis Persia' house this room did not take
the comfortable, home-like air of the
Mini fantlr livinsr-room. but kept a
general likeness to the parlor. The kitchen was in an L at the baok of the

regular attondaat at tte sowing society
Miss rrt and she 4M more
than any two at Um ladles, as ah) sat silently sewing while the rest worked
and talked the while about Mr. Peters1 maw house, or a new kind of crochet or a pnrtleularly toothsome receipt for
nut-cake, or on any of the numerous topic of a village sowing society. The poor Western missionary may' have found cause to bless the labor of Miss
Perais; lnat the poor about the town
knew her charities only as they osme in (he general church collection or in
cast-oil garment sent by the minis
ter wife.
There wm poor Mm. Tumor, who
was Miss l'eiw nearest neighbor,
and who was left a widow with eight little children to bring up. Miss Persia wished that she could do somethinsr for har: alio thought it would be
a "real treat" to sow for those children but she Hever dared to offer to. She wouldn't have known what to say. Miss Ferais lifted to watch the ehiU Uroii as they passed her house on their way to sol tool. She had a peculiar skill in making a certain old-fashioned kind of molasses cooky, with scolloped edges, and she always kept a Jar full of them in hopes that sometimes she might find a chance to givn them to the children. She never did find the chance, and as she oould not eat them all herself, nor commit the wasteful sin of throwing away good things, she used, after they had grown
somewhat dry, to take them In a paper

I leaned forward and took the doll from Miss Persia, for it was beginning to have a new interest for me.
"Where did you get tltis one?" I said. "Well, 1 had to make believe I had one at first. I called her Amanda Malvlna, after some one in a book I read once. 'Twas a lovely book, and I thought it was a beautiful name. I used to think about my doll a great deal, ami to talk to it; hut it was kind of hard having it all make-believe. I wished I had something to U Malvina.
1 used to wonder if I coulun t earn
money and buy one. Once I did earn money picking berries for the old minister's wife, but I never dared tell mother what I wanted to spend it for, and alio seomml to expect me to lay it away and put some of it in the missionary box. 1 never had any money
given me except on Sundays a cent for the plate in Sunday-school I used to wonder if the heathen wanted any
thing as nnich as I wanted a doll.

with the scolloped cookies. She thought
that if any one should come along she might pretend she was gathering berries. A great many hucklebsrries
errew in this particular lane: and that
was one reason why Miss Perais picked
out that cow.
The cooky jar was always kept re
plenished; but she never was able to offer its contents to the children.
Onoo.indeed, the Turner baby fell down
right in front of her gate, and Miss
Persia, on the impulse or tne moment, opened her front door and hurried down the walk to pick him up. But
vrhen the baby saw gaunt Miss Perais stalking like a grenadier toward him,
he cried louder than ever, and iorgetting his bump, ran home aa fast as he could move his fat red legs.

afraid to loave her gate swinging. The nath that led up to the front door was
bordered by a low, stumpy growth of

Persia walked hp the path so often.

I just counted on going into town. We didn't go very often. I felt so glad when mother said she had to go into the city; and for weeka afterwards I remembered how Malvina looked. When we got to the street I used to be so afraid there wouldn't be any dolls in the window, or that the atore had moved, or something, but she was always there, in wy corner."
Miss Persis was not thinking of me bow nor talking to me. "I wsa lonely enough when mother was alive, for she was always a quiet sort of a woman; but when she died it was a good deal worse. The day 1

It don't seem nice to say that thinking of a doll would cure such loncsomeness; but, really, when I thought of Amanda Malvina it did make me feel as though I had bowb one to turn to. I had to go to town pretty often,
right after that,1 for there was some business about a little, money that mother had that had to Imj attended te. It was a roal comfort to sec Amanda
