j pOOBHOUSE TO pALACE j i CHAPTER XII.-(Contlnnod.l Hero Jenny's remarks wore Interrupt ct by the loud rattling of wheels, uud the halloo of many voices. Going to the door, she aud Mar saw coming down the road at a furious rate the old hay cart, laden with young people, from Culo opeo, who had been berrying In Stur- lirlilgc and were nun' returning home in high glee. The horses were fantastically trimmed with ferns and evergreens, while several of the girls were ornamented In the same way. Conspicuous among the aiolsy group was Ella Campbell. Henry I.iucoln's broad-brimmed hat was rest ing on her long curls, while her white sun-bonnet was tied under Henry's chin. "The moment Jenny appeared the whole party set up a shout so deafening that the Widow Perkins came out In a trlco to see "If the Old Harry was to pay, or what. Jso sooner did Henry Lincoln get sight of Mary than springing to his feet and swinging his arm round his head, he .screamed out: "Three cheers for the schoolma'am and her handsome lover. Billy! Hurrah!" "Wasn't that smart?" said Jenny, when at last the bay cart dlsapearcd from view, and the noise and dust had somewhat subsided. Then as she saw the tears in Mary's eyes she added, "Oh, I wouldn't care If they did tease me about Billy Bender. I d as lief be teased about him as not." "It Isn't that," said Mary, smiling In spite of herself, at Jenny's frankness. "It Isn't that. I didn't like to hear Ella sing with your brother, when she must have known he meant to annoy me." "That certainly was wrong," retained Jenny, "but Ella Isn't so much to blame as Henry, who seems to have acquired a great Influence over her during the few weeks he has been at home, lou know she Is easily flattered, and I dare say Henry has fully gratified her vanity iu that respect, for he says she Is the only decent looking girl In Chlcopec. But see, there comes Mrs. Mason; I gness she wonders what is keeping you so long." The moment Mrs. Mason entered the school room, Jenny commenced talking .about Mount Holyoke, her tonguo run ming so fast that It entirely prevented anyone else from speaking until she stop ped for a moment to take breath. Then Mrs. Mason very quietly remarked that If Mary wished to go to Mount Holyoke she could do so, Mary looked up Inquir ingly, wondering what mine had oponed so suddenly at her feet: but she received np explanation until Jenny had bidden her good-by and gone. Then she learn ed that Mrs. Mason had just received one hundred dollars from a man In Boston, who had years before owed It to her hus band, and was unable to pay It sooner. "And now," said Mrs. Mason, "there Is no reason why yon should not go to -Mount Holyoke, If you wish to." taking Mary's hot hands between her own. In a few words Mary related her his tory, omitting her acquatutance with George Moreland, and commencing at thu night when her mother died, Ida was warm-hearted and adectlouate, and cared but little whether one were rich or poor If she liked them. From the tlrst she had been Interested In Mary, and now wind ing her arms about her neck, and klsslni; nway her tears, she promised to love her. and to bo to her as true and faithful a friend as Jenny, This promise, which was never broken, was of great benetlt to Mary, drawing to her side niauy of tho best girls In school, who soon learned to love her for herself, and not because the wealthy Miss Selden seemed so fond of her. Soon after Mary went to Mount Hol yoke she had received a letter from Billy In which he expressed his pleasure that she was at school, but added that the fact of her being there Interfered great ly with his plan of educating her him self. "Mother's HI health." said he, "pre vented me from doing anything until now. and just as I am in a fair way to nccom pllsh my object someone else has stepped in before me. But it is nil right, and ns you do not seem to need my services at present I shall next week leave Mr. Sel den's employment, and go into Mr. Wor- thington s law otllcc as clerk, hoping that when the proper time arrives I shall not bo defeated In another plan which was iormed in boyhood, nnd which has become the laiat object of my life. Mary felt perplexed and troubled. Billy's letters of late had been more like those of a lover than a brother, and she could not help guessing the nature of "the plan formed in boyhood." She knew she should never love him except with a sister's love, and though she could not tell him so her next letter lacked the tone of affection with which she was accus tomed to write, and was on the whole a rather formal affair. Billy, who readily perceived the change, attributed It to the right cause, and from that time his let ters became far less cheerful than usual. Mary usually cried over them, wishing more than once that Billy would trans fer his affection from herself to Jenny, and It was for this reason, perhaps, that without stopping to consider the propri ety of the matter, she first asked Jenny to write to him, and then encouraged her In answering bis notes, which became gradually longer and longer, until at last his letters were addressed to Jenny, while the notes they contained were directed to Mary! will have n rare chance for tnhlnu musts lessons of our best teachers; and then, too, you will bo In tlui sumo house with Goorgi', and llmi itlnue Is worth going to Boston rr, I think." Ida little suspected that her last argu ment was the strongest objection to Mary's going, for. much ns she wished to meet George ag.ilu, she felt that she would not ou nny account go to lilt home, lest ho should think she came on pur pose to see him. There were other reu sons, too, why she did not wish to go. Henry and Itose Lincoln would both bo In the cltyv and she knew that neither of them would scruple to do or say any thing which they thought woulil annoy her. Mrs. Mason, too, missed her, nnd longed to have her at home: so she resist ed all Ida's entreaties, and 'the nuxl let ter which went to Aunt Marthn curried her refusal. In n day or two Mary received two let ters, one from Itllly aud onn from Mrs. Mn son, the latter of which contained money for the payment of her bills; but. on offering It to the principal, how was she surprised to learn that her bills hud not only been regularly paid nnd receipt ed, but that ample funds were provided for the defraying of her expenses during the coming year.

She, however, felt a little afraid of Aunt Martha, who she saw was Inclined CHAPTEIt XIII. Rapidly the days passed on at Mount Holyoke. Autumn faded Into winter. whose Icy breath floated for a time over the mountain tops, and then melted away at the approach of spring, which, with its swelling buds and early flowers, gave way In its turn to the long bright days of summer. And now only a few weeks re mained ere the annual examination at which Ida was to be graduated. Neither Rose nor Jenny were to return the next year, and nothing but Mr. Lin coln's firmness and good sense had pre vented their being sent for when their mother first heard that they had failed to enter the middle class. Mrs. Lincoln's mortification was undoubtedly greatly In creased from the fact that the despised to favor the object of her wrath, so she ' Mary had entered In advance of her restrained her fault-finding spirit until , daughters.

"That the seminary!" said she con temptuously, as they drew up before the building. "Why, It Isn't half as large or handsome as I supposed. Oh, horror! I know I shan't stay here long." The furniture of the parlor was also very offensive to the young lady, and when Miss Lyon came In to meet them she, too, was secretly styled "a prim, fussy, sllppery-tongued old maid." Jenny, however, who always saw the bright side of everything, was completely charmed with the sweet smile nndv placid face. After some conversation between Miss Lyon and Aunt Martha It was decided that Rose and Jenny should room togeth er, as a matter of course, and that Mary should room with Ida. Rose bad fully Intended to room with Ida herself, and this decision made her very angry; but there was no help for it, and she was obliged to submit. And now In a few days life at Mount Holyoke commenced In earnest. Although perfectly healthy, Mary looked rather delicate, and It was for this reason, per haps, that the sweeping and dusting of several rooms were assigucd to her, ax her portion of the labor, Ida and Rose fared much worse, and were greatly shocked when told that they both belong ed to the waBb circle! "I declare," said Rose, "It's too bad. I'll walk home before I'll do It;" and she glanced at her wblto hands, to mako sure they were not already discolored by the dreadful soapsuds! Jenny was delighted with her allot ment, which was dlsh-washlng. "I'm glad I took a lesson at the poor house years ago," said sho one day to Itose, who snappishly replied: "I'd shut up about the poorhouse, or they'll think you the pauper Instead of Madura Howard." "Pauper? Who's a pauper?" asked l.ucy Downs, eager to hear so deslrablo a piece of news, Ida Selden's large black eyes rested reprovingly upon Rose, who uodded to ward Mary, nnd forthwith Miss Downs departed with tho Information, which was not long In reaching Mary's ears, "Why, Mary, what's the matter?" ask prl Ida. when, toward tho close of the day, she found her companion weeping' In her room. Without lifting her head Mary replied, "It's foolish In me to cry, I know, but why need I always be re proached with having been a pauper? I couldn't help It. I promised mother I would tuko care of little Alllo as long as sho lived, and if she went to the poor house I bad to go too." "iid who was little Allle?" asked Ida, and Jenny, but Mr. Lincoln promptly re plied that they should not come home. Still, as Rose seemed discontented, com plaining that so much exerclso made her side and shoulder ache, and as Jenny .1,.! . , , . . . I uiu not wish 10 remain anoiner year un less .Mary uiu, ne consented that thoy should leave school at the close of the term, ou condition that they went some where else. "I shall never make anything of Hen ry," said he, "but my daughters shall receive every advantage, and perhaps one or the other of them will comfort my old age." He had spoken truly with regard to Henry, who was studying, or pretending to study, law in the same offlce with Billy Bender. But his father heard no favor able accounts of him, and from time to time large bills were presented. So It is no wonder the disappointed father sighed, and turned to his daughters for the comfort bis only sou refused to give. For the examination at Mount Holyoke great preparations were being made. Rose, knowing she was not to return, seemed to think all further effort on her part unnecessary; and numerous wero the reprimands, to say nothing of tho black marks which she received. Jenny, on tho contrary, said she wished to retrieve her reputation for laziness, and leave behind a good impression. So, never before In her whole life had she behaved so web", or studied as bard as she did during tbo last few weeks of her stay at Mount Hol yoke. Ida, who was expecting her fath er, aunt and cousin to bo present at tile anuiversary, was so engrossed with her studies that she did uot observe how sad and low-spirited Mary seemed. She had tasted of knowledgo and now thirst ed for moro; but It could not be; the funds were exhausted, and she must leave the school, never perhaps to return again. "How much I shall miss my music, aud how much I shall miss you," she said one day to Ida, who was giving her a lesson. "It's too bad you haven't a piano," re turned Ida, "you are so fond of It, and Improve so fast!" Then nfter a moment, sho added, "I have a plan to propose, and may as well do It now as ut any time. Next winter you must spend with me In Boston. Aunt Martha and I arranged It tho last time I was at home, and we even selected your room, which Is next to mine, and opposite to Aunt Martha's. Now, what does your ladyship say to It?" "She says sho can't go," answered Mary. "Can't go!" repeated Ida. "Why not? Jenny will bo In the city, and you are always happy where sho is; besides, you tell her how much she was beloved. "It Is no sudden fancy." said he. "Once, Mary, I believed my nffectiou for you returned, but now you nre changed. Your letters nre brief and colli, and when I look around for tin cause I am led to fear that I was deceived In thinking you ever loved me. If 1 rfm mistaken, tell me so; but If I am not. If you can never be my wife, I will school myself to think of you as a brother would think of au only and darling sister." For several days Mary had not been well, and the excitement produced by Billy s letter tended to Increase her 111 ness. During the hours in which she was alone that day she had ample time for reflection, nnd before night she wrote letter to Billy, In which she told him how impossible it was for her to be the wife of one whom she had always loved as au own and dear brother. This letter caused Mary so much effort, and so many bitter tears, that for several days she continued worse, and at last gave up all hope of be ing present at thp examination. "Oh, It's too bd!" said Ida, "for I do want you to see Cousin George, and I know he'll bo disappointed, too, for I never saw anything like tho interest bo takes In you." A few days afterward, as Mary was lying thinking of Billy, and wondering If she had done right in writing to hi m as she did, Jenny came rushing lu, wild with delight. Her father was downstairs, together with Ida's father, George and Auut,Mai- tha. ".Most the first thing I 1II1I." said she, "was to Inquire nfter Hilly Render! I guess Aunt Martha was shocked, for she looked so queer. George laughed. nml Mr. Selden said he was doing well, and was one of the finest young men lu Boston. During the whole of George's stay at Mount Holyoke Rose managed to keep him at her side, entertaining blm occu sionally with unkind remarks conceroln; Mary, who, sho said, was undoubtedly feigning her sickness so as not to appear In her classes where she knew she could do herself no credit; "but," said she, "as soon as the examination is over she'll get well fast enough and bother us with her company at Chlcopce. In this Rose was mistaken, for when the exercises closed Mary was still too ill to ride, and it was decided that sho should remain a fow days until Mrs. Ma son could come for her. With many tears Ida and Jenny bade their young friend good-by, but Rose, when asked to go up and see her, turned nway disdainfully, amusing herself during their absence by talking and laughiug with George Moro land. The room In which Mary lay command ed a view of the yard and gateway; aud after Aunt Martha, Ida and Jenny had left, she arose, and stealing to the win dow, looked out upon the company 11s they departed. She could readily dlvlna which was George Moreland, for Rose Lincoln's shawl and satchel were thrown over bis arm, while Rose herself walked close to hU elbow, apparently engrossing bis whole attention. Once be turned around, but fearful of being observed, Mary drew back behind the window cur tain, and thus lost a view of his face. (To be continued.) Zulus of tlio Itnllromls. "Do you know what a Zulu Is?" paid an old railroad man. The traveling nmu who was waiting for his train smiled In a way that was meant to Indicate be knew all the species of Zulus (but ever existed, nnd told the railroad man about tho Africans, called Zulus, who maintained that continent's reputation for lighting before the Hoeru stepped In. Little was doing In the railroad man's line Just then, so he listened, "Well, they may bo Zulus all right enough," be remarked, "but they are not the sort of Zulus that travel on railroads. There Is the kind that runs Into these yards," nnd he pointed down tbo track, where u box car stood. A stone pipe protruded through a hole In the door. The pipe was nt nu angle of about !I5 degrees. A cloud of smoke was coming from It. Four blooded horses and a uian were the oc cupants of that.. The man was tlio Zulu. Taking care of valuable stock en route from 0110 market to another was his business. He was a type of a class that railroad men on every line hacv named the Zulus.

Caution Is often tossed to tho winds, but never brought buck by them. what the proprietor would have It uu dot-stood that be Is above doing, where as the dllllculty is that he cannot do It. As 11 Yankee, I venture the guess that In the uot-dlstuut future the ablest men nnd women lu homo and otllcc. In hotel and train will use the machine. To-day, away from home, If one wishes typewriting, lie pays a dollar 1111 hour or more for tho service, but soon every urst-clnss hotel will have till thu writ lug machines which their pntroungu requires In the writing room nnd free to tAl guests. Alrendy every first-class new hotel has a long-dlstunco telephone lu each room and a man has Its use nt any hour of day or night at tlio same rate that he would pay If bo wetit out and sought n "pay station." In the same way one will be able to say when he registers ut nny flrst-chtsH hotel, "I would like n room with u wrltlug ma chine." At first ho might have to pay tlfty cents n day extra, as ho does for n room with bath and lavatory appointments, but that will sbou pass nwny, as the extra charge for the bath Is. going.
