BY MARY
CI1APTEK XXI.-tOontioued.)
Day passed on, ami t last rumor
reached Klla that Henry was constant lu
hla attoii.tnn.-e uiu the proud Southern
beauty, whose furl line waa valued by
hundreds of thousand. At rintt ahe re
futed to believe It, but wheu Mary ami
Jenny both assured her It waa true, ami
when she herself hail ocular denum.it ra
tion of the fact, she av way to ou
loo flt of weeping, ami then, drying hr
ON, declared that Henry Uuoolu ahotild
jc; "that all would not die for hliu."
Styll minute oUwrver could easily
ael.n that hr gsyety waa Mtfnod.
tor the had loved Henry Lincoln a tin
cerely aa ahe waa capable of loving, ami
not eveu lleoiire Miircland, who treated
her with hla old boyish familiarity, could
make her for a moment foriiet one who
now pasted her coldly liy. or listened pa
aively while the eurcastic Evron Hern-
don liened her to a waxeu linage, tit
only for a glass case!
Toward the laat of April Mr. Maaon
and Mary returned to their old home In
the country. On Klla'a account Mr.
Campbell had decided to remain In the
city during a part of the aunuuer, and
aha labored hard to keep Mary also.
Mary promised, how ver, to apend th
next winter with her uiiut, who wept at
parting with her more than h would
probably have done had It been Klla,
Mary had partially engaged to teach the
aehoot in Kice Tomer, but George, aa
liming a kind of authority over ber, de
clared ahe ahotild not.
"I dou't want your eyea to grow dim
and your cheek pale lu that little, pent
up room." aald he. "You know I've beeu
there and aecn for myself."
Mary colored, for Ueorge' manner of
late had puuled her, and Jeuuy had more
than once whispered In her ear, "1 know
George lovea you, for be looka at you
just aa William doea at me, only a little
more so!"
Ida, too, had once mischievoualy ad
dressed her aa "Coiisiu," adding that
there waa no one among her acquaint
ancea whom she would aa willingly call
by that name.- "When I wa a Httla
girl," said she, "they used to tease me
about George, hut I'd as soon think of
marrying my brother. You never saw
Mr. Elwood, George's clasamate, for he'i
in Europe now. Between you and me, 1
like hiiu aud "
A loud call from Aunt Martha prevent
ed Ida from finishing, and the conversa
tion waa not again resumed. The next
morning Mary waa to leave, and as sh
stood in the parlor talking with Ida,
George came in with a traveling aatcbel
in hi hand, and a shawl thrown care
lessly over hif arm.
"Where are you going?" asked Ma.
"To Springfield. I have buaineaa there,"
- aald George.
"And when will yon return?" continued
Ida, feeling that it would be doubly
lonely at home.
"That depends on circumstances," aald
be "I shall stop at Chlcopee on my way
back, provided Mary is willing."
Mary answered that she waa always
glad to see her friends, aud aa the car
riage just then drove up, they started to
gether for the depot. Mary never re
membered of having had a more pleasant
ride than that from Boston to Chicopee.
George was a most agreeable companion,
and with him at her side she seemed
to discover new beautiues In every ob
ject which they passed, and felt rather
sorry when the windiug river and the
blue waters of I'ordunk Pond warned
her that Chlcopee station waa near at
hand.
"Oh! how pleasant to he at home once
more, and alone," said Mrs. Mason, but
Mary did not reply. Her thought were
elsewhere, and much as she liked being
alone, the presence of a certain individ
ual would not probably have marred her
happiness to any great extent. But he
waa comiug soon, and with that in antici
pation she appeared cheerful and gay as
usual.
Among the 8rst to call upon them was
Mr. Perkins, who came early In the
morning, bringing her knitting work and
staying all day. She had taken to dress
making, she said, and thought maybe she
could get some new Ideas from Mary'i
dresses, which she very coolly asked to
see. With the utmost good humor Mary
opened her entire wardrobe to the inspec
tion of the widow. At last the day wa
over, and with It the visit of the widow,
who had gathered enough gossiping mate
rials to last her until the Monday fol
lowing, when the arrival in the neighbor
hood of George Moreland threw ber upon
a freah theme, causing her to wonder
"If 'twa Mary's beau, and If he hadn't
been kinder courtln' her ever since the
time he visited her school."
She felt sty of It when, toward even
rag, shepfc, .em enter the school house,
ttyittea boJtf t the presence of a visitor
t ., VrflimtfallDg. jqrpsa. the
road and listening under the window.
Bhe would Undoubtedly have been highly
editled could she have heard their con
versation. The Interest which George
had folt in Mary when a little child wa
greatly Increased when he visited her
school in Kice Corner, and saw how
much she was improved in her manners
and appearan d; and it was then that he
conceived the Idea of educating her, de
termining to marry her if she proved all
he hoped she would.
He had asked her to accompany him to
the school house, because it wa there
hi resolution had been formed, and It
wa there he would moke It known. Mary,
too, had something which she wished to
ay to him. She would thank him for his
kindness to her and her parents' memory;
but the moment she commenced talking
upon the subject George stopped her, and
for the 8rst time since they were chil
dren, placed his arm around her waist
and, kissing her smooth, white brow,
aid, "Shall I tell you, Mary, how you
can repay me?"
She did not reply, and he continued:
"Give me a husband's right to care for
yon, and I shall be repaid a thousand
fold." Until the shadows of evening fell
around them they snt there, talking of
the future, whioh George said should be
all one bright dream of happiness to the
young girl at his side, who from the very
fullness of her joy wept aa she thought
how strange it was that she should be
the wife of George Moreland, whom
many dashing belle had tried in vain to
win. The next morning George went
back to Boston, promising to return In a
week or two, when he should expect
Mary to accompany him to Glenwood, as
h wished to see Hose once more before
he died.
CHAPTER-XXII.
The windows of J'..ie Lincoln' cham
ber were open, and the balmy air of May
came In, kissing the white brow or the

sick girl, and whispering to her of swell'
Ing bud and fair young bloaaoms, which
m breath bad wakened luto life, aud
which she would never see.
"Haa Henry corner' she aaked of her
father, and la the toitea of her voice there
wa an uuuaual geittleae, for Jnt a
he wa dyiug Hoe wa learning to live.
For a time ah had eoenied ao Indiffer
ent and obstinate that Mra. Howlaud had
almost despaired. Hut night after night,
when her daughter thought ah alept, she
prayed for th young girl, that h might
not dla until ah bad nrat learned the
way ot eternal life. And. aa If lu an
swer to her prayer. Rose gradually be
gan to listen, and a slia listened, the
wept, wondering, though, why her graud
mother thought her ao much more wicked
thau anyone else.
On her return from th city Jenny bad
told ber at gently aa possible of Henry's
conduct toward Ella, and of her feara
that he wa becoming mora dissipated
than ever. For a time Hose lay perfect
ly still, and Jenny, thinking ah waa
asleep, wa about to leave the room,
when her sister called her hack, and bid
ding her ait down by her side, said, "Tell
me, Jenny, do you think Henry hat any
love for me?"
"He would be an unnatural brother If
he had not," answered Jetiuy, her own
heart yearning more tenderly toward her
sister, whose gentle manner she could
not understand.
"Then," resumed Rose, "If he lore
me, he will be aorry when I am dead,
and perhap It may save him from ruin."
The tear dropped slowly from her long
eyelashes, while Jenny, laying her round,
rosy cheek agalust the thin, pale face
near her, sobbed out, "You must not die
--dear Hose. You mutt not die, aud
leave us."
From that time the failure was visible
and rapid, and though letters went fre
quently to Henry, telling him of his sis
ter's danger, he still lingered by the aide
of the brilliant beauty, while east morn
ing Hose asked, "Will he come to-day?"
aud each night she wept that he wa not
there.
Calmly and without a murmur, she had
heard the atory of their ruin from their
father, who could not let her die with
out undeceiving her. Before that time
she had asked to be taken back to Mount
Auburn, dealgnatlng the spot where she
would be burled, hut now she Insisted up
on being laid by the running brood at the
foot of her grandmother's garden, and
near a green, mossy bank where the
spring blossoms were earlleat found, and
where the Bowers of autumn lingered
longest. The music of the falling water,
she said, would soothe her as she slept,
and it cool moisture keep the gras green
and fresh upon her esrly grave.
One day, when Mrs. Lincoln waa alt
ting by her daughter and, aa ahe fre
quently did, uttering invectives against
Mount Holyoke, etc., ltose said, "Pon't
talk so, mother. Mount Holyoke Semi
nary had nothing to do with hastening
my death. I have done it myself by my
own carelessness;" and then she coafest
ed how many times she bud deceived her
mother, and thoughtlessly exposed her
health, even when her lungs and tide
were throbbing with pain. "I know you
will forgive me," said she, "for most se
verely have I been punished."
Then, as she hesrd Jenny's voice In the
room below, she added, "There la -one
other thing which I would say to you.
Ere I die, you must promise that Jenny
shall marry Wllllum Bender. He Is poor,
I know, and ao are we, but be hat a no
ble heart, and now, for my sake, mother,
take back the bitter words you once
spoke to Jenny, and say that ahe may
wed him. She will soon be your only
daughter, and why should you destroy
her happiness. Promise me, mother,
promise that she shall marry him."
Mrs. Lincoln, though poor, wa proud
and haughty still, and the struggle lu her
bosom was long tnd severe, but love for
her dying child conquered at last.
"And, mother," continued Kose, "mny
he not be sent for now? I cannot lie here
long, and once more I would see him and
tell him that I gladly claim him as a
brother."
A brother! How heavily those words
smote upon the heart of the sick girl!
Henry was yet away, and though in Jen
ny's letter ltose herself had once feebly
traced the words, "Come, brother do
come," he still lingered, as if bound by
t spell he could not break. And so days
went by, and night succeeded night, until
the bright May morning dawned, the Inst
Rose could ever see. Slowly up the
eastern horiaon came the worm spring
sun, and as Its red beams danced for t
time upon the wall of Hose's chamber,
she gazed wistfully upon It, murmuring,
"It is the last the last that will ever rise
for me."
William Bender was there. He had
coire the night before, bringing word that
Henry would follow the next day. There
was a gay party to which ho had prom
ised to attend Miss Ileruilon, and he
deemed tfiat a su&lclent reason why he
should neglect his dying sister.
"If Henry does not come," said Kose,
"tell him It wai my last request that he
turn away from the wine cup, and say
that the bitterest pang I felt in dying
was a fear that my only brother should
fill a drunkard's grave. He cannot look
upon me dead, and feel angry that I wish
ed him to reform. And as he stands over
my co din, tell him to promise never again
to touch the deadly poison."
Here she became too mnch exhausted
to say more, and soon after fell into a
quiet sleep. When she awoke ber father
was sitting across the room, with his
head resting upon the window sill, while
her own was pillowed upon tho strong
arm of George Moreland, who bent teu
derly over her, and soothed her as he
would a child. Quickly her fading cheek
glowed, and her eye sparkled with some
thing of its olden light; but "George
George," was all she had strength to sny,
and when Mary, who had accompanied
him, approached her she only knew that
she was recognized by the pressure of the
little blue-veined hand, whl. ii soon, drop
ped heavily upon the count wpniie, whllo
the eyelids closed languidly, anil witli
the words, "He will not come," sho again
slept, but this time 'twas the long, deep
sleep from which she would never awak
en. Slowly the shades of night fell around
the cottage. Softly tho kind-hearted
neighbors passed up and down tho nar
row staircase, ministering first to the
dead, and then turning nside to weep us
they looked upon the bowed man, who
with his head upon the window sill, still
i-it just as he did when they told him she
waa dead. At his feet on a little stool
was Jenny, pressing his hands, and cov
ering thein with the tear she for hit
sake tried In vain to repress.
At last, when it was dark without, and
light were burning upon lh table, there
waa a touud ot some one at m g.
aud In a uiomeut Henry stepped acros
the threshold, hut started aud turned
pal wheu h saw hi mother In violent
hysteric upon th lounge, and Mary
Howard bathing her bead and trying l
ooth her. Before he had tlma to ask
a question. Jeuny' arm were wound
around hit neck, and ah whispered,
"Hoa I dead. Why were you to late?"

lug tear which fell upon her fae
Heury bent over ber, kissing her Hps and
calllug upon her to awake and apeak to
him om- more.
Wlicu th thought he could hear It
Jenny told hliu of all Hot had tald, and
by the aide of her eorUa, with hit band
resting upon her while forehead, th rou
science stricken young man awore that
never again should ardent spirits of any
kind pas hi Hps, and th father, who
stood by and heard that vow, felt that If
It were kept, hi daughter had not died
In vain.
Th day followlug the burial Georg
aud Msry returned to Chlcopee, and a
the next dav waa th one appointed for
th tal of Mr. Lincoln' farm and coun
try house, he also accompanied them.
"Suppose yu buy It," tald n ii
George a they rodo over the premise.
" I'd rther you'd own It than to aoa It
In the hands of Mraugers,"
"1 Intended dolug so," answered
George, aud when at night he was tha
owner of the farm, bouse and furniture,
b generously offered It to Mr. Lincoln
rent free, with the privilege of redeeming
It whenever b could.
Thl waa ao unexpected that Mr. Lin
coln at Brst could hardly tlnd word to
expres his thanks, but when h did h
accepted th offer, saying, however, that
he could pay the rent, aud tilling that
he hoped two or three years ot hard labor
lu California, whither he lutended going,
would enable him to purchase It back.
Ou hi return to Glenwood he aaked
William, who waa still there, "how b
would like to turn farmer for awhile."
"Oh. that'll be nice." aald Jenny, whose
love for th country was aa strong a
ever. "Aud then. Willie, when pa cornea
bark we'll go to Boston tgaln aud prac
tice law, you and I!"
Ji'tjuy looked up lu surprise while Wil
liam asked what he nteaut. Briefly then
Mr. Llueoln told of George's generosity
tnd stating hi own intentions of going
to California, aald that In his absence
somebody must look after the farm, and
he knew of no on whom he would as
aoon trust aa William.
William pressed the little ft hand
which had slid Into his. and replied that,
much M he would like to oblige Mr, Lin
colu, he could not willingly abandon hie
profession in which he was succeeding
even beyond his most sanguine hopes.
"Hut," said he, "I thltik I can find a good
substitute lu Mr. Parker, who la anxious
to leave the poorhouse. Ho It an honest,
thorough going man, and his wife, who Is
an excelleut housekeeper, will relieve
Mrs. Llueoln entirely from care."
"Mercy r exclaimed the last-mentioned
lady, "I could never endure that vulgar
creature round me. First I'd know ahe'd
want to be eating at the same table, and
I couldn't survive that."
Mr. Lincoln looked sad, Jenny smiled,
and William replied that he presumed
Mrs. Parker herself would greatly prefer
taking her meal quietly with her hut
band In th kitchen.
"V can at least try It," said Mr. Lin
coln in a manner ao decided that his wife
ventured no further remoustranee, though
she cried and fretted all the time, seem
Ingly lamenting their fallen fortune more
than the vacancy which death had so re
cently made In their midst.

No person, accordlii to Mrs, Green,

the opportunity aliould come. There
are many women who earn good salar

women. They upend every cent they
make, and In most fuses have their

In tliclr anxiety to get money without

South Africa, J, Balfour, the govern

there wa 110 doubt that but for Lord

Get Out Within Eight Months.
New York, Aug, 2. General Leon
ard Wixal, military governor "of Cuba,
who is now on board tho dispatch
boat Kenawha preparing for a cruise
along the const of .New Lnghuid, said
today, in discussing Cuban affairs:
"Cuba is a totally undeveloped
island, and has a great future before
it. Yellow fever, in another year,
will cease to he epidemic. Wo have
not had a single case of yellow fever
in Havana this summer, and none in
Eastern Cuba for two ycurs past.
Cuba's resources require t i mo for de
velopment. The lust enormous sugar
crop waa raised on 8 per cent of the
entire sugar producing lands Unly
this small percent u go is under culti
vation. "We have $1,500,000 in our reserve
fund, and can pay ull our debts and
get out of Cuba within the next eight
months. We havo established 3,(i0(J
flourishing schools. Two years ago we
were obliged to provide about 100
orphan asylums to protect the desti
tute children. Niico then we have
abolished 00, and expect to bo able to
close more before we retire from the
management of Cuban affairs. Our
health compares favorably with that
of the troops in tins country, showing
that tho island is healthy."
