Bruce, Correctionville, Iowa. in fact, do much of anything bnt break dishes, and what should Uncle Dick do but send up a note that he would bring three business friends home with him to dinner. Aunt Helen wished that she had two pairs hands. She wished several other things besides. One was about Cora's hair, the long fine hair that looked in the sunshine like spun gold, and tangled easier than gold would have thought of doing.

"Oh, dear!" said Aunt Helen, twitch- ing at the comb aa it tangled in the yel- low threads. "What a perfect nuisanbe this hair is. I wish it were no longer than Milly's; it would lookii great deal neater, aud not be such trial lo tako care Poor Cora, If Aunt Helen had not been so busy, she would 1 have seen tho great tears in the little girl's eyes. She did not care so very much about the yellow hair herself, and it was a trial to have it combed, especially when peoJ pie were in a hurry, and pulled; but dear insrnma had seemed to love eaeH separate hair, and it made Cora cry to think of losing it. Still she about it a great deal; all the morning; indeed, while she ran of errands for thfl busy auntie.

It was not until nearly twelve o'clock that she found alone in the nursery, and came to her with the great shears. "Now.Tvtilly," she said, "if I shoull sit real still, do you suppose you could cut my hair off even and nice, so I could comb it like yours, before we go down to dinner?" "Why, Cora Parker!" Milly said, hi dismay. "You mustn't cut off your hair. 'Aunt Helen wouldn't like it." Then did Cora tarn on her astonished eyes. "Didn't you hear her say that she wished it was cut off short like yours? And you know she has trouble combing it, and of course she wants it off, or she wouldn't say so.

Yon don't think Aunt Helen would tell what wasn't true?" "Why doesn't she cut it oft, then?" asked wise little Milly. "Why, I guess may be she thinks I would cry and feel bac'Jy, and she ia sorry for me. And I have cried two times this morning, and I feel pretty badly; but for all that I've made up my mind. Didn't papa say we must try to give her just the leastest speck ol trouble, and that it was very good in her to take us, when she had three boys to see to! Oh, I know it is right, and I've made up my mind; so Milly, you just hurry and cut." And Milly, little barber as she was, stood on tiptoe and went about her task. Snip, snip, snip, went the dread- ful shears! Only a minute or two, and the spun gold lay in great waves on the carpet, and Cora's head looked as neat and smooth as Milly's; only, I am.

obliged to say, the hair was not very evenly cut. Cora could not see that, however, and smoothed her hair with great care, and was ready for dinner, just as the bell pealed through the house. Poor child, she had no idea of the uproar she was going to create! Aunt Helen having seated her guests, was just looking around for the children when they slipped in. Instead of seating stopped back in great dismay "Why, Cora Parker!" she exclaimed. "What have you been doing? Lewis, what a fright the child has made of herself!" And then, actually, Aunt Helen burst into tears! What a time they had! Uncle Dick tried to explain to tke guests, and comfort his wife, and ques- tion the children, all at once.

Finally poor Cora cried so loud that he sent her away, and Aunt Helen, much ashamed, sat down at last. "The child gave me such a start," she said. "She doesn't look in the least like herself; and to think that she has spoiled her beautiful hair!" "What possessed her?" asked Uncle Dick. "I'm sure I don't know; I suppose the naughty little thing was spunky, be- cause I said this morning that her hair was more trouble than Milly's. I re- member, now, that she has been rather gloomy 'all the morning.

I didn't think she was such a natight3 little creature." Now it was Milly's turn; she had been very quiet and sober through ail the just here she burst into a storm of tears, and kicked her mad lit- tle feet against the table. You 1 re naughty," she shouted; "I don't love you a bit, I don't. Cora is good; she did it to please you; she cried dreadful, and she said her hair gave you trouble and yovi said you wished it was shorl like mine, and it must be short to please you; and she is good." All this, before she could be husned or carried from the room. Well, don't you think, that evening, when the, storm was all over, two peo- ple asked to be forgiven; onewasMilly, for speaking such naughty words to her auntie, and one was auntie, for saying in her haste what she did not mean. But that did not make Cora's hair long again.
