TILDA.
KATHARINE MELICK.
For The Courier.
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
