She clenched her hot little hands with mighty resolve, Her fancy skipped the three hundred and sixty-four days before next prize- giving, and she saw herself standing on the platform, the centre of admiring interest, close to that beautiful rusile, while the hall resound. ed with the cheers of her comrades.

"Bless me, child; do look where you are going called out a teacher, with some par danable sharpness, as Folly stumbled down, the steps of the platform in the march past which ended the proceedings.

In a few minutes, clad once more in a thread- bare plaid frock much out at elbows, she was left to the carrying out of an absorbing ideal through endless hours of workaday life. It would be the more difficult as she had not the. the smallest enthusiasm for learning. Her Keltic temperament, so full of impression. ability, led her to a ceaseless search for variety,

and she had hitherto cheerfully played truant to oblige anybody. On her side would be Dad, sinarting from a recent fine of half a.. crown for, the non-attendance of his children. Against her would be mother and the needs of three infants under five.

For a time she dodged obstacles by pure ingenuity and precocity.

She cried when she was kept in; at home the children were waiting for tea, for on Mondays the public with its swinging doors and alluring drinks, tempted many a mother from the wash-tub. Mondays: were not the only days of risk. Tuesday and. Wednesday brought a peril of their own, for those were the days, when charing jobs might claim Polly's mother.
