By GECRGE ELMER COEB. Bright as a dollar, Elsie Danvers Bad a great idea in her busy little head. She was only nine years ol, but she knew more than nost chil- dren of twelve, and thought more deeply and more to a purpose thun some people of twenty. Under her arm she carried a small cardboard box, neatly done up in wrappiug paper and carefully tied. To her wuy of thinking it was a very im- portant belonging. to the neat little cottage kunown as the Hyde home, she found its spinster | occupant, Miss Susan, resting on a rustic bench after her exertions in | trimming the rose bu:les, Miss Hyde liked e Danvers people gready, and little Llsie pariicularly well. She had been glad to do mauy a kindness for predy Mrs. Duuvers, and she truly piiied her patient, sud faced hus The latter was a mai of fine scholarly attainments and had at cue time held a lucrative profes { screhip inoa college. 111 health had | enferced a change in vocation and , residence.

She at once “My Old-Time Happlness Back to Me.” noticed the serious face, usually so sunny. She made room for Elsie on the garden seat. “Miss Hyde,” spoke Elsle at once, ' “you are a great friend of mine, aren't you?" “Indeed, I am,” replled the lady pleasantly. “Everybody s that, El- sle.” “Yes, I know, but you are especlally. Now, | want to know If 1 ask you to do something for me you will not tell mamma or papa, or anybody else.” “Why, 1 must know what It is, dear,’ before | can promise,” replied Miss Hyde hezitatingly. “Well," said Elsie, fingering the 1it- tle box, "I heard soine people telling about the parceis post. They said you could send anything you liked, just like you do a letter. You put a post age stamp on it and it goes to the person you want to gend it to right away” “That {s true,” “Have you something you wish send. Elgie?” “Yes, ma'am, 1 have" said Elsle in a prompt, business-like way “I heard \ mamma crying the other day while she was telling the minister's wife ’ about my grandfather. I never knew I had one before. He hasn't been IVPH good to mamma, but maybe he { doven't know how she loves him, and | how she puts some flowers on his | picture whenever his birthday comes around. On my birthday two friends gave me the same present—those lit- tle speaking dolls. you know. Well, I''!n sending one of them as a present to grandpa in this box, and I've writ- ten him a little note In it telling him about poor papa and all of us, and ! vant you to direct {t—I've got his pame and everything: ‘Mn John Marsh, Rushville’ —and send It for we through the parcels post.” A strange shade passed over Miss Hvde's face. It was intensely pathenic, all this, entirely outside of the child’s realization. The tears rushed to her eyes. x “1 will do ju:t as you say, dea she said unsteadily, “and nc b nl\ shall gnow about it except you and ' Elsie parted with hf-r pnrlm s puck fidenc ne answered Miss Hyde. to with supreme s H\.y. mailed 1 age good friend \':~ the postoffice did some t had hear Jeha 31 orphan child of adepted by the also took charge of F distant relative.

The report of the gun had aroused the nearcst neighbors, and soon the old man had ccempary. bag left behind by the burglars filled with money and papers secured from his own wardrobe. Then, as he be- gan to pick up the papers strewn about from the desk Kunice had owned, he made a startling discovery.

Towards the end of the week, as Elsie was sitting in the garden, an old man opened the gate. Carefully re packed, he carried the parcels post package. “Why,"” shouted the little miss, all smiles and dimples—*"1 know who you are—grandpa—'cause that's the box 1 sent, and—ch, I must tell mamma!” It was a tearful, yet happy iInter | view, that which followed between uncle and niece. All was explained, and when Mr. Danvers came home that evening, he learned that all the family were to return to Rushville, | where he was to have a free, glad- | some llfe caring for the old man's | property. “Dear liitle chiid,” sald John Marsh, fondly stroking the golden-haired fairy who had breught all this about— “my fortune saved, my old-time hap- piness back to ine, all through you and that blessed parcels post.” (Copyright, 1913, by W.
