Forthwith he went to a fruiterer'e and secured some choice bunches of Hamburg grapea at one dollar, or thereabouts, a pound. He carrled them, not without some self-satlefactlon, to the house oí the invalld, and left them wlth her mother, who recelved them in a dubioub kind of nianner that did not evlnco, as he thought, much gratltude. ThiB dld not trouble him greatly, however, but tho next day when he called ha received a blow whlch almost made him resolve never agaln to be genercnis to strangers. "How dld your daughter like the grapes?" he said to the grim and undemonstrative matron. "Oh, pretty well," was the reluctant answer. "Dld she eat them all?" was the next query. "Yes, she got away wlth them," was the reply. "But she Is a good deal Uke me; she llkes something nlce and tasty - like canned corn."
