She stood in the corner where the dinner pails hung; but it was not noon, and she was not investigating the con tents of her pail. Perhaps she would not have found much there if she bad. It was morning, the second reader class had just recited, and Tilda, as usual, was in disgrace. 2sot one of the nine words had she spelled correctly, and now, in the corner, she was repeating over and over, "t h i c k, tick; thick, tick." With her eyes bent down upon her book so as not t" see the grinning face of little Pete, or the slate that Fred was hold ing up for her edification on which he had drawn an image conspicuously labeled "Tilda," Bhe whispered the letters again and again. She could not see them, for two big tears blinded her blue eyes, and so presently Bhe was say ing, "t i c k, tick; tick, tick." At last she looked up; the elate was down on the desk now, but the picture was still there, and Fred's pencil had just added the words. "En elake Hicka" (Swedish for a bad girl). The tears fell down on the wretched words, and, wip ing the page with a corner of her apron, she saw the forgotten letter. But only for a moment. The mist came again before the book, and so presently she was standing before Miss Jones' desk twisting the corner of her apron and watching Miss Jones' face while she spelled, "t i h c k" and then, seeing the coming frown, quickly substituting "tick h." "What can I do with her?" thought Miss Jones for the seventieth time. She looked at the drooping figure, the fin gers clutching the coarse, faded apron, the face there was little to be seen of it eave two great blue eyes tilling with tears. It was the old, old story. And for the seventieth time she said, "Tilda, listen to me. You can get this lesson just as well as Peter or Minnie, if you only try. Stop crying and take your elate as I have told you and write the words." Tilda only shook her flaxen braids and said in a half whisper, "I can't." Nevertheless she was soon sitting at her desk listening to the voices of the chil dren outside and looking at the nine words before her. Miss Jones had told her to write them each ten times and then she would know them. She was counting the times on her fingers. They were thin fingers; thin and bent as if with tasks too hard for them. Tilda often looked at Miss Jones' white, ebape ly hands with wonder. Miss Jonej did not notice Tilda's. She. was very much occupied with a new novel, and she found "Ina's Heart" far more interest ing than Tilda's grimy little fingers. When the bell rang Miss Jones was happy. The story was going very much to her taste, Tilda was happy too. She had learned three words, which was better than she had done for a whole week, and as a reward for her diligence Miss Jones had allowed her to study her numbers and leave the remaining six for noon. She liked the numbers, for were they not just the same "on Swede?" And in class could shf not answer some times as quickly aa Hannah cr Peter or even little Minnie? But her joy was changed to chagrin when she returned to her seat and found on her slate a picture of a row of very small children with one tall figure at the foot and the legend, "de biggest de dumest," in Fred's round hand beneath. She felt that she waa indeed very "big" and she bent her thin shoulders yet more when she looked over at little Minnie. Minnie was Tilda's little neighbor. Tilda had not had time to get acquaint First Pub. June 11. Notice to Oeditors. E J555. State of Nebraska, ss. County court. Lancas ter county. In re estate of Arthur E. Goddard, deceased.
