" The chill, white light of the uncompro mising February morning shone in noon Mrs. Wing's little room, revealing all' its deficiencies, calling merciless attention to the worn spots on the carpet, and contrast ing with the feeble tire in the tiny grate, whose handful, of coals made scarcelv anv perceptible difference in the atmosphere of tlie apartment. Mw.Wiiig herself, pale and shabbily dressed, and with faded shawl wrapped -ver her shoulders, was sitting close to the lire with soaus liise needle work in her hands, and M:idelon, her onlv child, stood opposite the tiny little mirror on her hat. fastening Madehni Wing was a tall, slight irl with an oval face, large, dark evesand lusti-ou, brown hair rippling around her temples with that natural curve that whole grosses of crimping pins cannot hope to rival. Arid, ai she stood there, the look ot tender solicitude on her sweet face was m.t unlike that of a sweet-pictured Ma donna. "Are yon quite sure your head does not nrhe you to-day, mamma T said Ishe.

"Mamma, that is a pious fiction," said M adc.ln, t-tonping to kiss her mother's forehead. ''However, I hope we shau't he so dismally poor much longer.
