CHAPTER, Il.-HContlnued.l
At last Frank, pulling the old blue
Jacket from under his hetid and passing
It to Mary, aaldt "Take It to Bill Bender
he offered me a shilling for It, and n
hilling will buy milk for Allie and crack
era for mother take It."
"No, Franky," answered Mary, "you
would have no pillow; besides, I've got
something more valuable, which I can
ell. I've kept It long, but.lt' must go to
keep us from starving" and alio held to
view the golden locket which Georgo
Moreland had thrown around her neck.
"You shan't sell that," said Frank.
"You must keep It to remember George;
nd then, too, you may want It more some
other time."
Mary Anally yielded tho point, and
gathering up the crumpled jacket started
In quest of Billy Bender. Ho was a'
kind-hearted boy, two years older than
Frank, whom he had often befriended
and shielded from the Jeers" of their ''com
panions. Ho did not want tho Jacket, for
It was n vast deal too small; and It was
only In reply to a proposal from Frank
that ho should buy It that he had casual
ly offered him a shilling. But now, when
be saw the garment, and learned why It
was sent, he Immediately drew from his
old leather wallet a quarter, all tho
money ho had In tho world, and giving
It to Mary, bado her keep It, as she would
need It all.
Half an hour after a cooling orange
was held to Frank's parched lips, and
Mary said, "Drink, brother; I've got two
more, besides somo milk and bread," but
the ear she addressed was deaf and tho
eye dim with tho fast-falling shadow of
death. "Mother! mother!" cried the lit
tle girl, "Frunky won't drink, and hla
forehead Is all sweat."
Mrs. Howard had been much worse
that day, but agony made her strong.
Springing to hi side, she wiped from
his brow the cold moisture which had
so alarmed her daughter, chafed his
bands and feet, and bathed his head, un
til ho seemed better and fell asleep.
Fast the shades of night catno on, and
when all was dark In the sick room Mary
sobbed out, "We have no candle, moth
er, and if I go for one, and he should
die "
The sound of her voice aroused Frank,
and feeling for his sister's hand,' he said,
"Don't go, Mary; don't leave me the
moon la shining bright, and I guess I can
And my way to God just as well."
Nine ten eleven and then through
the dingy windows the silvery moonlight
fell, as if Indeed to light the way of tho
early lost to heaven. Mary had drawn
her mother's lounge to tho side of the
trundle bed, and In a state of almost per
fect exhaustion Mrs. Howard lay gasp
ing for breath, while Mary, as if con
scious of the dread reality about to oc
cur, knelt by her tilde. Once Mm. How
ard laid her hands nn Mary's head, ami
prayed that she might be presorved and
kept from harm by the God of the or
phan, and that the aln of dlHobedlcnco
resting on her own head might not be
visited upon her child.
After a, tlmu a troubled sleep came up
on her and she slept until roused by a
low sob. ItaUIng herself up, she looked
anxiously toward her children. The
moonbeams fell upon the white, placid
face of Frank, who seemed calmly sleep
ing, while over him Mary bent, pushing
back from his forehead the thick clus
tering curls, and striving bard to smoth
er her sobs, so that they might not dis
turb her mother.
"Does ho sleep?" asked Mrs. Howard,
nd Mary, covering with her bands tho
face of blm who slept, answered:
"Turn away, mother don't look at
-him. Franky Is dead. He died with bis
arms around my neck, and told me not
to wake you."
Mrs. Howard was In the last stages of
consumption, and now she lay back, half
fainting upon her pillow. Toward day
light a violent coughing fit ensued, and
he knew that she was dying. Beckoning
Mary to her side, she whispered, "I am
leaving you aloue In the wide world. Bo
kind to Ella aud our dear little Allle,
and go with her where she goes. May
God keep and bless you my precious chil
drenand reward you as you deserve, my
darling "
Thr sentence was unfinished, and In
nnspeakable awe the orphan girl knelt
between her mother and brother shud
dering In the presence of death, and
then weeping to thiuk that she was aloue.
CHAPTER III.
Just on the .-orner of Chlcopee Com
mon, and under the shadow of the century-old
elms which skirt the borders of
the grass plat called by the villagers the
"Mall," stands the small red cottage of
"Widow Bender, who- In her way was
quite a curiosity. All the "ills which flesh
Is heir to" Widow Bender, If she could
ascertain the symptoms, was sure to have
In the most aggravated form,
On the morning following the events
narrated in the last chapter Billy, whose
dreams bad been disturbed by thoughts
of Frank, arose early, determined to call
at Mrs. Howard's and see if they were
In want of anything. But his mother,
who had beard rumors of the scarlet fe
ver, was up before him, and on descend
ing to the kitchen Billy found her sitting
before a biasing fire her feet in hot wat
er and her head thrown back in a manner
plainly showing that something new had
taken bold of her in good earnest.
"Oh. William," said she, "I've lived
through a sight, but my time baa come at
last. Such pain In my head and stom
ach. I do believe I've got the scarlet
fever, and you must run for the doctor,
quick."
"Scarlet fever!" repeated Billy; "why,
you've bad It once, aud you can't have It
again, can you?"
"Oh, I don't know I never was like
anybody else and can have auytblng a
dozen times. Now be, spry and fetch the
doctor; but before you go band me my
snuff box and put the canister top heapin'
full of tea Into the teapot."
Billy obeyed, and tbeu, knowing that
the green tea would reinoro his mother' J
ailment he hurried away toward Mrs.
Howard's. The aufl waa just rising.
Within the cottage there was no sonnd or
token of life, and, 'thinking Its Inmates
wore asleep, Hilly paused several min
utes upon the threshold, fearing that he
should disturb their slumbers. At Inst,
with a vaguo presentiment that till was
not right, he raised the latch and enter
ed, but Instantly started back In aston
ishment at the scene before him. On the
thundle bed lay Frank, cold and dead,
mid near him, In the same long, dream
less sleep, was his mother, while between
them, with one arm thrown lovingly
across her brother's neck, and her cheek
pressed against hli, lay Mary her eye
lids moist with tears which, though sleep
ing, slid still shed. On the other sldo of
Frank, and nestled so closely to him that
her warm breath lifted the brown curia
from his brow, was Ella. Bnt there were
no tear stains on her faco, for she did not
yet know how bereaved she waa.
For a moment Billy stood Irresolute,
and then, na Mary moved uneasily In her
slumbers, he advanced a step or two to
ward her. The noise aroused her, and
Instantly remembering and comprehend
ing the whole, she threw herself with a
bitter cry Into Billy's extended arms, as
If he alone were all the protector she now
bad In the wide, wide world. Ere long
Ella, too, awoke, and the noisy outburst
which followed the knowledge of her loss
made Mary still the agony of hvr own
heart In order to soothe the more violent
grief of her excitable sister. Billy's
tears were flowing, too, but at length
rising up, he aaid to Mary, "Something
must bo done. The villager must know
of it, and I shall have to leave you aloue
while I tell them."
In half an hour from that time the
cottage was nearly Oiled with people,
some of whom came out of Idle curiosity.
But there were others who went there
for the sake of comforting the orphans
and attending to the dead, and by noon
tho bodies were decently arranged for
burial.
"There will be no trouble," said one, "in
finding a place for Ella, she Is so bright
and handsome; but as for Mary, I am
afraid she'll have to go to the poorhouae."
"Were I In a condition to take either."
replied Mrs. Johnson, "I should prefer
Mary, for In my estimation ahe Is much
the best girl; but there is the baby, who
must go wherever Mary does, nnlesa she
can be persuaded to leave her."
Before anyone could reply to this re
mark Mary, who had overheard every
word, came forward, and, laying her
face on Mrs. Johnson's lap, sobbed out,
"Let me go with Alice; I told mother I
would."
Billy Bender, who all this while had
been standing by the door, started for
homo, never once thinking, until he
reached It, that his mother more than
six hours before, bad sent him In great
hnnto for the physician On entering tho
house ho found her, as he expected, rolled
np In bed, apparently In the last stage of
scarlet fever; but before she could re
proach him be said, "Mother, havo you
heard tho news?"
Mrs. Bender had a particular love for
news, and now forgetting "how near to
death's door" she had been, she eagerly
demanded, "What news? What has hap
pened?" When Billy told her of the sudden
deatba of Mr. Howard aud Frank, an
expression of "What? That all?" passed
over her face, and she said, "Dear me,
my snuff, Billy. Both died last night, did
they? Hain't you nothln' else to tell?"
"Yes, Mary Judson and Ella Campbell,
too, are dead."
Mrs. Bender, who, like many others,
courted the favor of the wealthy aqd,
tried to fancy henielf on Intimate terms
with them, no sooner heard of Mrs,
Campbell's affliction than her own dan
gerous symptoms were forgotten, and,
springing up, she exclaimed, "Ella Camp-1
bell deadl What'll her mother do? I
must go to her right away. Hand me my
double gown there in the closet, and give
mo my lace cap In the lower drawer, and
mind you have the teakettle blled agin I
get back."
"Before you go anywhere, auppose you
stop at Mrs, Howard's and 'comfort poor
Mary, who cries all the time because alio
and Alice have got to go to the poor
house." "Of course they'll go there, and they
ort to be thankful they've got so good a
place."
"I want to ask you," aaid Billy, "can't
we couldn't you take them for a 'few
days, and -perhaps something may turn
up?"
"William Bender," said the highly as
tonished lady, "what can you mean? A
poor, sick woman like me, with one foot
in the grave, take the charge of three
pauper children! I sba'n't do it, and you
needn't think of It."
"But, mother," persisted Billy, who
could generally coax her to do as be liked,
"It 'a only for a few days, and they'll not
be much trouble or expense, for I'll work
enough harder to make It up."
"I bavo said uo once. William Bender,
and when I say no, I mean no," was the
answer,
Billy knew she would be less decided
the next time the subject waa broached,
o for the present he dropped It, and tak
ing bis cap he returned to Mrs, How
ard's, while his mother started for Mrs.
Campbell's.
Next morning between the hoars of 0
and 10 the tolling bell, sent forth its sad
summons, and ere long few of the vil
lager were moving toward the brown
cottage, where in the same plain coffln
slept the mother and her, only boy. Near
them aat Ella, occasionally looking with
childish curiosity at the .stranger around
her, or leaning forward to peep at the
tips of the new morocco shoe which Mrs.
Johnson bad kindly given her; then, when
her eyes fell upon tho coffln. she would
burst Into such an agony of weeping that
many of the villagers also wept In sym
pathy, and as they stroked her soft hair,
thought, "how much more she loved her
mother than did Mary," who, without a
tear upon her cheek, aat there Immova
ble, gating fixedly upon the marble fact)
ofvher mother. Alice waa not present,
for Billy had not only succeeded In win
ning his mother's consent to take the chil
dren for a few days, but he bad alae
coaxed her to Bay that Alice might come
oefore the funeral, on condition that he
would remain at borne and take care of
her.
OHAPTKB IV.
Scarcely three hours had passed since
the dark, moist earth was heaped upon
the humble grave of the widow and her
son, when again, over the village of Cblc
opoe, floated the notes of the tolling bell,
and Immediately crowds of people, with
seemingly eager hiiate, hurried toward
tho Campbell tnanslun, which waa soon
nearly (tiled.
On a marble table In the same room lay
the handsome collln, and In it slept young
Ella. Gracefully her Hiunll waxen hands
were folded one over the other, while
white, half-opened rosebuds were wreath
ed among the curls of her hair. "She Is
too beautiful to die, and the only child,
too." thought more than one as they look
ed first at tho sleeping clay uud then at
the stricken mother, who, i' raped In deep
est black, sobbed convulsively. And yet
she was not ohe-half so desolate b was
the orphan Mary, who In Mrs. Bender's
kitchen sat weeping over her slater Alice,
nn.l striving to form words of prayer
which should reach the God of the father
less. "My mother, oh! ray mother," she cried,
as alio stretched her bauds toward the
clear blue aky, now that mothor'a homo.
"Why didn't Idle, too?"
There was a step upon the grass, and
looking up, Mary saw rtandlng near her
Mrs. Campbell's English girl, Hannah.
She had always evinced n liking for Mra.
Howard's family, and now after finishing
her dishes, and trying In vnlu to speak
a word of consolation to her mistress,
who refused to be comforted, she had
stolen away to Mr. Bender's, ostensibly
to see all the orphans, but In reality to
see Ella, who had always been her favor
ite. The eight of Mary's grief touched Han
nab'a heart, and sitting down by the lit
tle girl she tried to comfort her. Alary
felt that her words and manner were
prompted by real sympathy, mid after a
time she grew calm, and listened while
Hannah told her that "aa soon as her
mistress got so anybody could go near
her, she meant to ask her to take Ella
Howard to fill the place of her own
daughter."
"They look as much alike as two
beans." aaid ahe. "and s'posln' Ella How-
ard ain't exactly her own flesh and blood,
aho would grow Into liking her, I know."
That night after her return home Han
nah lingered for a long time about the
parlor door, glancing wistfully toward
her mistress, who reclined npou the sofa
with her face entirely hidden by her
cambric handkerchief.
"It's .most too soon, I guess," thought
"Hannah. "I'll" wait till to-morrow."
Accordingly next morning, when, as ah
had expected, ahe waa told te carry her
mistress' toast and coffee to her room,
be lingered for awhile, and seemed so
desirous of speaking that Mrs. Campbell
asked what she wanted.
"Why, you aee, ma'am. I was going to
say a word about about that youngest
Howard girl. Bhe'a got to go to the poor
house and It' a pity, she's so handsome.
Why couldn't she come here and live?
I'll take caro of her, and 'twouldn't be
nigh so lonesome."
At this allualon to her bereavement
Mra. Campbell burst Into tears, and mo
tioned Iluuuuh from the room,
"I'll keep at her till I fetch It about,"
thought Hannah. But further persuaslou
from her was rendered unnecessary, for
Mrs. Lincoln called tbat afternoon, and
after assuring her friend that she nevei
before saw one who was no terribly af
flicted, casually mentioned tho Howards,
and the extreme poverty to which they
were reduced.
Here Mrs. Campbell commenced weep
ing, and as Mrs. Lincoln soon took hut
leave she was left uluue for several
hour. At tho end of that time, Impelled
by something she could not resist, she
rang the bell and ordered Hanuab to go
to Mrs. Bendcr'a aud bring Ella to her
room, aa she wished to see bow ahe ap
peared, (To be continued.)
