wiihcrin ; : glance. "It's the fashion ! "
she exclaimed , with crushing finality.
To these disclosures of unblinking so
phistication may ; be added the tale of
a neighbor whose little boy is just sis.
lie had hoped to keep the child uncon
scious that he is. the heir-of millions
and hod brought him up in the strictest
simplicity. And yet the other night , ns
he climbed on .hjs father's knee for a

Mr. Ilolley looked at his grandson
with a mixture of amusement and re
proach on his shrewd nld face. It was
dusk in the barn , a , time for confi
dences. "I dunno vhere in all the
earth you got suc.li uo : ons , sonny , " the
old-main said. "JCot fromyour ina's
folks or your pa's eith T. There never
war. any talk of belief In signs and su
perstitions , in either the Ilolley or the
Ifawcett stock , that/s .sure. It , must
have come from that foreign lady they
had to teach you , I expect1
"Andyon don't believe there's any
Iiann ina bird'a ilyiiig into the house
or breaking a mirrpi * or seeing iu.blarK
cat , grandpa ? " asked the little boy
earnestly , ' "And do.n't you care wheth
er a pin sticks straight up in the llooi
or which shoulder you see the moon
over or whether yon get anything on
you wrong side out ? Not any of those
things ? "
"All fooIishneES , " said the old man.
with n reafisnring pat of the hot little
luiUd. "I'm glad you've talked it out
with me. sonny. N'ow. you just put it
out of your lu-ad , and I'll tell you what
I'jljlo. V\'hon we .go up to the house.
Til plvc you a little , old penny I've been
