But Mr. Mason thought It heat (or ber to rstiirn to Mount Halyok ml accordingly th de clined Mr. Kuight' eflcr, greatly to hi disappointment, nod that of nun; other. Ou morning about a week after hr return b announced her Intention of visiting hor mother' grav. "I am ac customed to o much exercise. Mid eke, "that I ran easily walk throa mil, and perhap on my way noma I shall t a ride," Mr. Mason made no objection, and Mary wan aoou on her way. 8U wa a rapid walker, nd almost befor sh wa aware of It reached the villa. A h rtme near Mm. Campbell' th with nit arally arose tbat Ella nhould accompany her. Looking up. ah u her attter In the garden and railed to her. "Wha-a-tl" wa th very loud and un civil answer which rnmo back to her, and a a moment Klla appeared round th ear ner of tbe house, carelessly awtnglng her straw hat and huuimiug a fashionable aong. On seeing her aiater th draw hark the corner of her mouth Into aout thing whlcb the lutrn Ird for a mile, and aid. "Why. I tho'g'it It wa Hrldget railing me, you looked ao much Ilk her In that gingham auubonnet. Won't you com In I" "Thank you," returned Mary. "I waa going to uic-!ir'a grav. and thought per haps you would Ilk to accompany ui." "Ob. no," Mid Klta. In her uaual drawl ing ton. "I dou't know aa I want to go. 1 waa there last week, and aaw th mon ument." "What monument?" asked Mary, and Klla replied: "Why, didu't yon know that Mra. Ma on, or the town, or aomebody, bad bought a monument, with mother' and father' and Frauky'a and Allla'i name on It?" Mary, hurrying on, soon reached th graveyard, where, a Klla had laid, there tood by her pareuta' grave a large, handsome monument. William Header wa the first person who came Into her niiud, and a ahe thought of all that had passed between them, and of thl last proof of hla affection, b etd herself among the tall graaa and flower which grew upon her mother' grave and bunt tntn ltf Shu hail rmt ant fh.,r ten I er h was roused by the ound of a j footstep. Locking up, he aw before her th young gentlemau who the year pre--vlou bad visited her school in Itlce Cor ner. Seating himself respectfully by her aide, he spoke of tho thrr grave, and asked If they were her friends who slept there. There wa something ao kind and affectionate in hi voice and manner tbat Marv could nt reriress bar tears, and. snatching up her bonnet, which ah had thrown aside, the bid her far in It and again wept. For a time Mr. Stuart suffered her to weep, and then gently removed the ging ham bonnet, and, holding her hand be tween his, be tried to divert be: mind by talking upon other topics, asking her bow ah had been employed during th year, and appearing greatly pleated when told that she had been at Mount Holyok. Observing at length that her eyea con stantly rested npon th monument, be apoke of that, praising It beauty, and asking if it were her taste. "No," ald she. "I never saw It until to-day, and did not even know It wa here." "Someone wished to urprlse you, I dare ay," returned Mr. Stuart "It waa manufactured In Boston, I see. Have you friend there?" Mary replied that she had one, a Mr. Bender, to which Mr. Stuart quickly re joined. "Is It William Bender? I have heard of him through our mutual friend, George Morels nd, whom you perhaps bare een." Mary felt the earnest gasa of the large, dark eyea which were fixed upon her fare, and coloring deeply, she replied tbat they came from England in tbe same ves sel. "Indeed!" said Mr. Stuart. "When I return to the city shall I refresh hi mem ory a little with regard to you?" "I'd rather yon would not," answered Mary. "Our path Jn llf ara very dif ferent; anil be, of course, would feet no Interest in me." "Am I to conclude tbat you, too, foel no Interest In him?" returned Mr. Stuart, and again bit Urge eye reseted on Mary' face with a curious expression. But she made no reply, and, aoen rising op said it was time for her to go borne, Vacation wa over, and again In th halls of Mount Holyok was heard tbo tread of many feet, and tbe sound of youthful voice a one by on the pupils came back to their accustomed place. For a time Mary wa undecided whether to return or not, for much a she desired an education she coull not help feeling delicate about receiving it from a stran- ftoliliimn I . , f 1 1 . . I i . geryowbxl"' BN'ui to wuum an ncr thoughts amTie-iJings were confided, ad vised her to return, ntj. accordingly th Brst A'ly of tbe term fouiirj ier again at Mount Holyoke, where ahe was warmly welcomed by her teacher and compan ions. Still, it did not seem like the olden time, for Ma was not there, and Jenny' merry laugh was gone. Patiently and perseverlngly through the year she studied, storing ber mind with useful knowledge; and when at Inst the annual examination came, not one in the senior class stood higher, or was grad uated with more honor than herself. Mrs. .Mason, who wa there, listened with all parent's pride and fondness to her adopted child, as she promptly responded to every question. Hut It was not Mr, Mason's presence alone which Incited Mary to do so well. Among tbe crowd of spectators she caught a glimpse of a face whlcb twice before she bad seen once In the school room at Itlce Corucr and once in the graveyard at Chlcopee. Turn which way she would, she felt rath er than saw bow intently Mr. Stuart watched ber, and when at last the exer cises were over, and she with others arose to receive her diploma, she Invol untarily glanced in the direction whence he knew he sat, For an instant their eyes met, and In tbe expression of his she read an approval warmer than wordi could have expressed. That night Mury sat alone In her room, listening almost nervously to the sound of every footstep, and half-starting up If It came near ber door. But for certain reasons Mr. Stuart did not think proper to call, and while Mary was confidently expecting him be was several miles on bis way home, In duy or two Mary returned to Chic opee, but did not, like Kiln, lay ber books aside an I consider ber education finished. Two or three hour each morning wer i TO PALACE J. HOLMES devoted to study, or reading of loin Kind. For MVeral week uothlug wa allowed to luterfer with this arrange ment, but at th nd of tbat tlm th qulot ot Mr. Mason' house was ill turned by th unexpected arrival ot Aunt Martha and Ida, who ram up to Chleo pee for th purpose of luduclug Mr. Ma on and Mary to apend th routing winter In Boston. At nrt Mr. Mason heitst d. but vry objection which ither h or Mary raised waa so easily put ld tbat b final- consented, eaylnf would be ready to go about th mlddl of November. CUilTKirXV. "Com this way, Mary. I'll show you your chamber. It' right her next to mltte, said Ida Hidden, a oo th vulng ( her frlend'a arrival she led her up to handsomely furolsbed apartment, which for many week hid born th till of Mary room." "Oh, ho? pletaaut!" w Mary' excla mation, a shs turvvyed th room in which tverythlng wa arraugvd with such perfect taat. Mary wa too happy to speak, and, dropping Into th eaay-chair, ahe burst Into tear. In moment Ida, too, wa rated In th same chair, with her arm round Mary's neck. Then, her own eye chanced to fall upon some vase, she brought on of them to Mary, aaylng, "See, the r for you present from on who bad m present them with hi compliment to the Utile girl who nursed him on board th Windermere, and who cried because he railed her ugly!" , Mary's heart wa almost audible In it beating, and ber cheeks took on th hue of th cushion on which alio rerllued. It turning th vase to the mantelpiece, Ida ram back to her side, and, broiling cloee to her fare, whispered: "Cousin tleorg told me of you year ago. when he first came here, but I forgot all about II, and when w wer at Mount Holyok I never suspected that you were tbe little girl b used to talk so much about. But a few day before he went away be reminded me of It again, and then t understood why he wa so much Interested In you. I wonder you never told me you knew him, for, of course, you Ilk biiu. You ran't help It." Mary only heail a part of what Ida aaid. "Just before he went away," Waa he gone, anil should she uot see him af ter all? A cloud gathered upon her brow, and Ida, readily divining its rause, re plied, "Yea, George ia gone. Either he er father must go to New Orleans, and so George, of course, went. Isn't It too bad? I rrled and fretted, but he only pulled my ears, and said ha should think I'd be glad, for b knew we wouldn't want a six-footer domineering over us, and following us every where, a h would surety do were h s t borne." Mary felt more disappointed than she waa willing to acknowledge, and for a moment ah half-wished herself bark in Chlcopee, but soon rerovetlng ber equa nimity, ah ventured to ask bow long George wa to tie gone. "Until April, I bcllev," l,l Ida; "but anyway you are to atay until he comes, for Aunt Martha promised to keep jou. I don't know exactly what George said to her about you, but they talked together more than two hour, and ahe say you are to tak music lessons and drawing lessons, and all that. George la very fund of music. " The next morning between 10 and 11 th doorbell rang, and In a moment Jin ny Lincoln, whus father' bouse was Just opposite, ram tripping Into 'hn par lor. She had lost In a measure that 10 tuudlty of person so offensive to her mother, and It seemed to Mary that there wa a thoughtful rxpreaslun on her face never seen theie before, but ia ail other respects h wss tbe same affectionate, merry-hearted Jenny. "I just this minute heard you were here, and ram over Just a I was," aald ahe. After asking Mary If she wasn't sorry Oeorge had gone, and if she ex pected to Bad Mr. Stuart, ahii said, "I suppose you know Ella Is here, and breaking evcrybody'e heart, of course. She went to a concert with us Inst even ing, and looked perfectly beautiful. Hen ry says she Is the bnndsomest girl he ever saw, and I do ltopo she'll make something of him, but I'm afraid he hi only trilling with her." If there was a person In the world whom Mary thoroughly detested it was Henry Lincoln, and her eye sparkled and flashed so indignantly that Ida no ticed it, and secretly thought that Henry Lincoln would for once find hi match. After a time Mary turned to Jenny, say ing, "You haven't told me a won) about about Willism Bender. Ia be well?" Jenny blushed decpljvand, hastily re plying that he wa, the last time she saw him, started up, whispering In Mary's ear, "Oh, I've got t much to tell you but I must go now? Ida accompanied ber to the door, and asked why Itose, too, did not call. In ber usual frank, open-way Jenny answer ed, "You kuow why. Hose Is so queer." Ida understood her, and replied, "Very well; but tell ber that if she doesn't see fit to notice my visitors I certainly shall not be polite to hers." This message had the desired effect, for Rose, who was dally expecting a Miss King from Philadelphia, felt that nothing would mortify her more than to be neg lected by Ida, who was rather a leader among the young fashionables. Accord ingly, after a long consultation with ber mother, she concluded It best to call up on Mury. lu the course of the afternoon, chancing to be near tho front window, she saw Mr. Selden's carriage drive away from his door with Ida and her visitor, "Now Is my time," thought she; and without a word to her mother or Jenny she threw on her bonnet and shawl, and in her thin French slippers stepped across the street and rang Mr. Bidden' doorbell. Of course she was "so disap pointed not to find the young ladles at home," and, leaving her card for them, tripped back highly pleased with ber own cleverness. Meantime (da and Mary were enjoying their ride about the city, until, coming suililculy upon an organ grinder and monkey, the spirited horses became frightened and ran, upsetting the car riage and drugging It some distance, For tunately Ida was only bruised, but Mary received a severe cut upon her head, which, with the fright, caused her to faint. A young man who was passing down the street, and saw tbe accident, immediately came to the .rescue; and when Mary awoke to consclousnes Billy Bender was supporting ber and gently pushing back from her face the thick braids of ber long hair, "Who la she? Who Is she?" asked the eager voice of the group around; but j no on answered until young gentle man, butting from one of th fashion hie saloons, ram blusterlug up, demand ing "what th row was." I pott seeing Ida, hla manner changed Instantly, and fa ordered the crowd "at and back," at th Mm time forcing hi way forward until h raught sight Of Mary face. "Whew! Bill." aald he, "your old Bam, th pauper, Isn't It?" It wa fortunate for Henry Lincoln that Billy Bender' arm wer both use, otherwise h might hav measured his length upon th sidewalk. Aa It waa, Billy frowned angrily upon him, and In Here whisper bad blur beware how he used Ml Howard's nam. By thl tint (he homes wer raught, another nrrtag procured, and Mary, still supported by Billy Bender, wa carefully lifted luto It and bonie bark to Mr. Selden house, Many of Id' frleuda, hearing of th accident, Burked In to see tnd to Inquire after tbe young lady who waa Injured, Among the Brat who railed wa Uaal I'ptou from Chli'Oiiee, On her way bom sit stopped at Mm. Campbell's, wher b waa Immediately beeet by Klla, to kuow "who th beautiful young lady wa that Henry l.lueulu had ao heroically aved from n violent death dragging her out from under th hone heels!" Llssie looked it her a moment la sur prise, and then replied, "Why, Mia Campbell, I It possible you don't know It wa your own slater? It was Henry Unroln himself who had given Klla ber Information, without, how ever, telling th lady' name; and now when ahe learned tbat 'twas Mary, sb wss too much surprised to nswr, and Lital continued: "I think you are labor ing under mistake. It wa not Mr, Lincoln who aaved your sister' life, but a young law student, whom you perhaps have seen walking with George More- land." Klla replied that she never saw Georg Morelnnd, aa be left Boston before ahe rime; and then a she did not aerm at all aminos to kuow whether Mary wa much Injured or not, Uasi toou took her leav. Long after sh wa gon Kill aat alon In th parlor, wondering why Hen' ry should tell her such falsehood, and If he really thought Mary beautiful, l'oor, simple Klla! Site wa fast learning to live ou Henry Lincoln's smile, to belief each word that he said; to watch nerv ously for bl coming, and to weep If he stayed away. (To b continued.) MAKING QIRLS HAPPY ON FARMS aire. Veretllth Tell Anoat lb drkeet for K.raira' Wive In Minnesota. What tbe West doing lu the way of training girl to live happy live on fitrui wa very ably showu at Hunt' Ington bnll, BimIou, recently by Mr. Virginia C.

Mrs. Meredith has herself conducted a successful stock farm for runny year, and she believes thoroughly In th fnrtu llf fur young jH-ople. 'Tbe farm home," ah said, "la to my wind the Ideal home, aud 1 am glad to suy the thought lu our school is always to educate the girl for th life she will have to live.

Whim tbo present generation build houses they will be convenient ones." An Amusing Trick. An Ingenious trick has turned tip which ran lie played with either match es or tooth pick the latter preferably. You simply take up a bunch of matches or tooth-picks, anywhere from one to two dnr.cn, and, holding them tightly In both bauds break tlioin In tho centre. Then throw them on tlm table and ay,- "Tho man who gets the last one pay for the cigar." At tbu sntne time you take out one piece. That makes It absolutely cer-fain-a there must tbon necessarily be an odd number In the pile that your companion will get tbo last piece. It Is curious to lee how often this trick may be played before, tbe victim can boKln to understand the principle upon which It Im worked. Photographing Jewelry. Photographing Jewelry Is an excellent way of protecting It, though compara tively few American women take that precaution. In England tho custom of wearing jewelry In photographs It much more prevalent than It la In Nw York. Picture of English women of wealth and position usually display the entire contents of llielr Jewelry boxes, and their tiaras, stomacher and neck laces are frequently conspicuous enough to bo serviceable ni a mean of Identification were they stolen, al though thieves rarely dare to keep such thing Intact for even tho briefest time. American women, owning valuable Jewelry are not likely to possess any photographs of It, unless they were es pecially taken, And that precaution has no far been observed In few cases.
