mm ,Fl a pair, 57-31 . u! v, Q22 A: v . . $5$3 ' t'xQeki'V THE CONTEST OTHERln exclaimed Mary excitedly. llI am one of the six girls who have been chosen for the contest. Isnit that lovely? And, oh Mother, I may have a new dress, maynjt I? Rushing to her mother, Mary threw her arms around her neck and rained kisses upon the smiling countenance. hWhat does all this mean, dear ?I, Mrs. Howard asked. llSit down and try to tell me in a connected way about this contest and what you have to do. Tossing her books and hat on the table, Mary sat down. llWell, you see, she began, 'tMr. Lands, the principal, announced that there would be a contest on class day for a prize. Six girls were to be chosen, each of whom was to write a story. On class day they are to read them, and the girl whose story is adjudged the best is to receive a prize, which is a gold locket. Oh!

For a few minutes Maryls face grew dark. Then she remembered that day two years before when her father had called her to his bedside and had told her to take care of Mother and help her to the best of her ability. Would it be helping to ask for something it was out of her mothetls power to give her? ltNo ! she decided. I must pretend that I do not mind. She rose and, going over to her mother, kissed her tenderly. itItls all right, Mumsey, she said. I donit mind. And she went quietly upstairs. at :k :k 3k :k 2k 1k :k a: It was a hot June day. The sun beat mercilessly down on the little frame schoolhouse of Granshurg. It was crowded to its capacity with men, women and children, whose attention was divided between the raised platform at the end of the room and the steady stream of passersby, some of whom paused and looked curiously in at the open windows. Seated on a bench at the side of the platform
