And no wonder.` Within its bulging _canvas was stored her every personal possession, eventhe mittens Aunt Electa had knit for her and which were still quite as good as new in spite of a few darns. Of course Mary Abby knew that she might even be ashamed to wear them, but , she was taking them--because she could not bear to leave them.` It wasradull, gray mid~winter morning and the` Bear Spring road, shut in as it was by bushes and trees on either hand, was dark. The spring brook`, ice-`locked, was silent, but the knee-deeps were calling wistfully. Knee-deep! Knee-deep! Over and over again. That meant just what they said, that more snow was coming.

She-had come to a wood that cut its way rudely across the road going down a mountain, and there a team rested with the driver slappinghis mittened hands be- side it. The "low. dray was loaded with green wood and the powerful black horses were steaming from exertion.` The man, whose face was half hidden between the rim of his cap and" the upturned collar of his sheepskin coat, looked at the `girl with in- terested eyes. ` "I-Inllnl Mari!

Besides, she had brought won- derful presents for her whole family,.- pre- sents that represented not so much value as charm of novelty and ,discrimination- of selection. When Elsie picked out a hand- kerchief or box of notepaper she had a whole store ful-1 to choose from. She had, too, bought a delightful box of glittering- trinkets for the Christmas tree which had changed the little church into a place of dreams_-frosty bubbles of glass, ice-like pendants and some marvellous sparkling stuff that scarcely needed candlw to il- lumine it. And~Mary Abby, looking on` with wide-open eyes of amazement, had longed to earn money for herself and do something for every one of the many people she loved, especially for Uncle Zach- ary; and Aunt Electa, who had been `her father and mother .since `her own parents uleu. - Uncle Zachary and_Aunt Electa were in comfortable circumstances, but they lived frugally -as life had taught them -to do. They had the little farm and something laid by, and they had no one in the world but Mary Abby. A farm, Uncle Zachary always contended, was a good place for any "girl, or boy, to grow up in. Mary Abby could raise all "the chickens she wished, and sell them and get `the money for them. She` could raise. garden truck, too.
