tbr wtt a batty turning of btada, a
litklng of curia and low wbltpcrt, at
rtch noticed and commented upon the un
earthly beautg of Koae, who In her fath
er' t trma lay at If wholly ubautted with
the effort aha had nitdt.
The tight of her, to young, to ftlr and
apparently to low, bniihed all aelfiab feel
ing, and a gay bridal party who bad
taken potMMloa of the ladiet' taloon im
mediately rant forward, offering It to
Mr. Lincoln, who readily accepted It, and
laying Uot npon the long aettea, be made
ber at comfortable at potalble with tht
numerout pillowt and cuthlont ba bad
brought with blm. At the creaking en
gine moved tlowly out of Boston Koae
taked tbtt the window might ba raited,
and. leaning upon her elbow, tbe looked
out npon ber native city, which tha wat
leaving forever.
Toward nightfall of tbe next day they
reached Uleowood, and Rote, mora fa
tigued tbta tht wet willing to acknowl
edge, now that the wat to determined to
get well, wat lifted from tha carriage
and carried Into tha bona. Mrs. How
land battened forward to receive ber,
ml for once Itom forgot to notice wheth
er tha cut of iier cap wia of tbit year'
ftthlon or latt.
"I am weary," the taid. "Lay mt
where I ran reat." And with the grand
mother leading the way, the father car
ried hie child to tba chamber prepared
tor ber with to much care.
"I ft worae tbta 1 thought 'twaa," taid
Mr. Ilowland, returning to tha parlor
below, where her daughter bad thrown
beraelf wltb a algh upoo the chlnti-cover-ed
lounge. "It't a deal worae than I
thought 'twaa, Han't the eatched cold,
or been expoeed tome wayT"
"Not Io tba Iratt," returned Mra. Lin
coln, twirling the golden atopper of her
tmelllng bottle. 'The foundation of her
ilckoeaa wat laid at Mount Holyoka, and
(he whole faculty ought to be indicted for
maoalaugbter." .
Jenny' clear, truthful eyea turned to
ward ber mother, who frowned darkly,
and continued: "Hhe waa at well it any
one until the went there, and I coaalder
it my duty tao warn all parent againat
tending their daughter to a place where
neither health, mannera nor anything elae
hi attended to except religion and home
work." Jenny bad not quite got over her child
lab hnt.lt of occasionally aettlng her moth
er right on eome pointa, and aha could
not forbear laying that Dr. Kleber
thought Koae had injured beraelf by at
tending Mra. ItuateU'a party.
"r. Kleber doetn't know any more
bout It than 1 do." returned her mother.
"Ho e alwaya minding other folka' bua
neat, and ao are you. I gueae you'd bet
ter go opttain at once, and tee If Iioee
doean't want aometbiug."
Jenny obeyed, and aa the entered ber
.Inter' a chamber, lioae lifted her bead
languidly front ber pillow, and pointing to
a window, which had been opened that
the might breathe more freely, aaid,
"Jutt lltten; don't you bear that horrid
croaklugT" '
Jeuny laughed aloud, for the knew
Rote had beard "that horrid croaking"
mora than a hundred timea In Cblcopce,
but in Ulenwood everything mutt neoee
tarily aatuiiie a goblin form and aound.
Heating heiwlf upon the foot of the bed,
tbe aald: "Why, that' the frog. I love
to hear them dearly. It makea me feel
both aad and happy, Juat aa tbe crlckett
do that alng under the hearth- In our old
home at Chlcopee."
Jenny' whole heart waa Io the country
and the could not to well ympatbii
with ber oervou. enltlve lter, who
thrank from country tight and country
tounda. Accidentally apylng aom tall lo
cutt branchea awlnglng In the evening
breeaa before the eaat window, abe again
poke to Jenny, telling her to look and
tee If the tree leaned againat the boute.
"for If It doea," taid ahe. "and creaka. 1
han't aleep a wink to-night."
After ateuring ber that the tree wa all
right, Jenny added: "I love to hear the
wind bowl through these old tree, and
were It not for you, I ahould with It
might blow ao that I could lay awake and
hWhen It grew darker and tbe ttart be
gan to come out, Jenny wa told "to dote

"Now, Rote," .aid aha. "you re mak

"They'll have to climb to the top of the

Until a lata hour that night did Roae
keep the whole boutebold on the alert,
doing tbe tboutand ntelea. tbingt which
her nerroua fancy prompted. First tbe
front door, usually secured wltb a bit of
whittle-thlngle, muat be nailed, "or tome
body would break In." Next the wlndowa,
which In the riding wind began to rattle,
mutt be made font with diver knlrea,
eclaeore, comb and keya; and, laatly, the
old clock muat be ttopped, for Rote wa
not accuatomed to It ttriking, and It
would keep her awake.
"Dear me!" laid tbe tired old grand
mother, when at about midnight ahe re
paired to her own coxy little bedroom,
"bow fidgety h hi. I ahould of t'poaed

In a dty or to Mr. Lincoln and Jenny
went back to Botton, bearing with them

tha house Mra. Howland brought out ber
black leathern wallet, and, forcing two
ten-dollar bills Into Jenny' band, whis
pered, "Take it to pay for tbem thinga.
Your pa ha need enough for hit money,
and tbla la aom I've earned along knit

I would get a new chamber carpet, but

grandmother' atlngineaa In not having a

which looked aa If manufactured before

CHAPTER XX.
Am aam Amw vliai ItjiaA T.lni-rtln
left Boston for Ulenwood Mrs. Campbell
aat in ner own room, gloomy ana r
presaed. For several day the bad not
been well, and betide that Ella'a engage
ment with Henry Lincoln filled ber heart
with dark forebodings, for rumor aald
that he waa unprincipled and dissipat
ed, and before giving ber consent .Mra.
Campbell had labored long with Ella,
wbo lnaltted that "he waa no worse than
other vounff men most of them drank
occatlontlly, and Henry did nothing
morel"
On tbla afternoon ahe had again con
versed with Ella, who angrily declared
that ahe would marry him even If ahe
knew he'd be a drunkard, adding, "But
I.. ...' II 1am. na KttrtM. thaO
all tbe world, and I ahall help him to re
form."
I" T .!,.' I. at lava .mi, ftiutnv wAtllil mar

wa becoming mucn attached to aiary.
"I don't bellove ahe would either, and

pettishly jerking her long curia. "But 1
can t aee wny you inouia onng ner no,
for he ha never been more than polite
to her, and that he assured me waa whol
ly on my account,"
"She Isn't pleated with your engage
ment!" aald Mr. Campbell, and Ella
replied:
"Well, what of that? It' nothing to
her, and I didn't mean ahe should know
It, but Jenny, like a little tattler, must
needa tell her, and so she haa read me a
two hour' aermon on the subject Hhe
acted ao qneer, too, I didn't know what
to thing of her, and when ahe and Henry
ar together they look ao funny that I al
most believe ahe wanta him herself, but
aha can't have him no, she can't have
blm," and secure in the belief that the
wa the first end only object of Henry'
affection, Ella danced out of the room to
attend to the seamstress who was doing
her plain ewlng.
After she waa gone Mra. Campbell fell
aleep, and for the first time In many a
long year dreamed oher old home In
England. She did not remember It her
ielf, but ahe bad so often beard it de
scribed by the aunt who adopted her that
now It came vividly before her mind, with
It dark atone wall. It apacioua grounds,
terraced gardens, running vines and
creeping roses. Something about It, too,
reminded her of what Ella had once taid
of her mother' early home, and when
he awoke tbe wondered that .be had
never queetloned the child more concern
ing ber parents. She wa. just lying back
again upon her pillow when there waa a
gentle rap at the door, and Mary How
ard' aoft voice aaked permission to come
In.
"Yea, do," ald Mrs. Campbell. "Vtt
hap you can charm away my headache,
which la dreadful."
"I'll try," answered Mary. "Shall I
read to you?"
"If you please; but first give mo my
alt. You'll find them . there In that
drawer."
Mary obeyed, but started a the open
ed the drawer, for there, on the top, lay
. small, old-fashioned miniature of a fair
young child, ao nearly resembling Frnnky
that tbe teara instantly came to her eyes.
"What la it?" asked Mr. Campbell,
and Mary replied:
"Thl picture to much Ilk brother
Cranky. May I look at It?"
"Certainly," ald Mra. Campbell. "That
la a picture of my alster."
For a long time Mary gaed at the
sweet, childish face, which, with lta clut
tering curl, and oft brown eye, looked
to her to much like Franky. At last,
turning to Mm. Campbell, .be ald, "You
muat have loved her very much. What
waa her name?"
"Ella Temple," wa Mra. Campbell
reply, and Mary inttantly exclaimed:
"Why, that wat my mother' name.
"Your mother, Mary! your motherr

face, and her eyes, now black a mid
night, stared wildly at Mr, uampoeiu
Tbe tiid ttory, which her mother had
hum InM kirt. an ... - kn.,k In hAV mind.
bringing with It the thought which had
10 agitated ner companion.
"Yet," she continued, without noticing
what Mr. Campbell bad told, "my moth
er wa Ella Temple, and tbe bad two
titter, one her own, tnd tbe other
half-eltter Sarah . Fletcher and Jan
Temple both of whom came to America
many yeara ago."
."Pull ma MAra .nil m all .ml know."
whlapered Mrs. Campbell, grasping
Aiary a nana; "and now it came euuuv
that I thought abe wa deadmy sister."
Upon this point Mary could throw ne
Itirht kill a. alt Ikal aha had h.Aaril from
her mother the told, and then Mr. Camp
bell, pointing to her writing dean, taiu;
"Bring It to me. I mutt read that let
ter again."
Mary obeyed, and taking ont a mncb
olled, blotted letter, Mr. Campbell a.k
ed her to read It aloud. It wa. a. fol
low.: ,
"Daughter Jane I now take thi. oppor
tunity of Informing you that I've lost
your sister Ella, and have now no child
aavlng yourself, wbo, if yon behave well,
will be my only heir. Sometime I with
you were here, fee if lueom living
lone, but I upp te you're better off
where you are. Do you know anything
of that girl Sarah? Her crosa-gralned
nncle haa never written me a word since
he left England. If I live three year
longer I shall come to America, and un
til that time, adieo. Your father,
"HENRY TEMPLE."
"How hort and cold!" waa Mary' first
exclamation, for ber Impression of. her
grandfather were not very agreeable.
"It is like all hi. letter.," answered
Mr. Campbell. "But It waa cruol to
make me think Ella waa dead, tor how
else could I euppoee be bad lott JierV"
Then, at the conviction came over her
thai Man vaa Indaarl the child Of her
own aiater, the wound ber arm about ber
neck, and kissing her lips, murmurea,
"My child-Mary. Oh, bad I known tbla
sooner, you should not have been so cru
elty deserted, and little Allie ahould nev
er have died In the almshouse. But you'll
never leave me now, for all that I have
la yours your and Ella's."
The thought of Ella touched a new
chord, and Mra. Campbell' tear were
ai laaa hll.AV hw ttlA knowledge
that abe bad cared for, and been a mother
to, one of ber sister's orpbnn cnnaren.
I knA nnar tpliv f mm the fifSt. I
felt so drwn toward Ella, and why her
clear, large eye. are ao mucn na-e my ow
lot darling', and even you, Mary "
Here Mra. Campbell paused, for proud
aa she now wa of Mary, there bad been
a time when the haughty lady turned
away from the sober, homely little child,
who begged so piteoutly "to go with
Ella" where there wat room and to spare.
All tbla came up in aad review before
vr riamnholt anil aa ahe recalled the
Incidenta of ber sister's death, and
thought of the noble little rrantt, wno
often went hungry and cold that hia
mother and lister might be w.rm and
fed, the felt that her heart would buret
with it weight of aorrow.
Til, " aal.l .ho "to die so near me
my only aister, and I never know It
never go near her. I wltb an my weaim,
a much her a mine and ahe dying of
starvation."
Wiping the hot tear from her own
eye, Mary atrove to comfort her aunt
t.. .Alilnat kna aflwtjonatelv her mother
had always remembered her. "And even
on the night of her death," aula ane, ane
apoke of you, and bade me, if I ever
found you, love you for her sake."
"Will you, do you love me?" aaked Mia.
Campbell.

the loving clasp of her arm around her
aunt' neck, wa. a umclent answer.

Comanche reservation, Augusts. It
is now estimated that fully 150,000
people will have registered for a
chance to secure one of the 13,000
claims to be awarded by lottery,
when the registration booths close on
July 26. Thousands of persons now
on the reseravtion, who are neither
mechanics nor artisans, and who have
little or no money, announce their
intention of locating around Lawton,
if they fail to win a claim. Campers,
who came in prairie schooners by the
thousands, generally brought with
thein provisions sufficient to last
from five to 10 days. Continued
drought has caused the water to be
restricted, and for days a hot wind
has prevailed on the prairies, and the
temperature has averaged over the
100 mark. With those conditions
before them, many are already be
ginning to grumble,, and when this is
followed by disappointment over
failure to draw a lucky number, the
hope that bore many up will doubt
leas give way to more serious condi
