CHAPTER VIlI.-(Contlnued.)
Ouu morning about two weeks after
ward Mnry wiib In tho meadow gathering
cowslips foe tllnucr when she heard some
ono calling 'hor name; ami looking up,
she saw Jenny hurrying toward her, her
Bunbonnet hungiug down her back, as
usual, and her checks flushed with vlo
lent exercise. As soon ns she came up
she began with, "Oh. my, nln't I hot and
tired, and I can't stay a minute, cither,
for I ran away. Hut I had such good
news to tell you, that I would come. Yon
arc going to have a groat deal better
home than this. You know whero lllce
Corner la, thq district over east?
Mnry replied that slic did, nnd Jenny
continued: "We nil went over there yes
terday to see; Mrs. Mason, She's a real
nice lady, who used to live In Roston,
and be Intimate with ma, until three or
four years ago when Mr. Masou died.
We didn't go there any moru then, and
Tasked Roso what the reason wns, nnd
she said Mrs. Mason was poor now, nnd
ma had 'cut her;' nnd when I asked her
what she cut hor with, she only laughed,
and said she believed I didn't know any
thing. Dut slnco.then I've learned what
It means."
"What docs It?" asked Mary and Jenny
replied:
"If a person dies and leaves no money,
no matter how good his folks arc, or how
much yoi llkq them, you mustn't know
them when you meet them in tho street,
or you roust cross ov,cr the other sldo It
you bco them coming; and then when la
dles call and speak about them, you
must draw a great, long breath, nnd won
der 'how tho poor thing will get along,
sho was so dreadfully extravagant.' I
positively heard mother say thoso very
words about Mrs. Mason; nnd what is so
funny, tho washwoman tho same day
spoke of her, nnd cried when she told
how kind sho was, nnd how sho would go
without things herself for the sake of giv
ing to tho poor."
After a moment's pause Jenny proceed
ed: "This Mrs. Mason can)e,lnto tho
country and ' bought the prettiest little
cottago you ever saw. Sho has lota of
nice fruit, nnd for nil mother pretends In
Boston that she does not visit her. just
as soon as the fruit Is ripe sho always
goes there. Pa says It's real mtfnn, and
ho should think Mrs. Mason would sec
through It."
"Did you go there for fruit yesterday?"
asked Mnry.
. "Oh, no," returned Jenny. "Mothor
said she wan tired to death with staying
at home. Besides that, sho heard some
thing in Boston about n lnrge citato In
England, which possibly would fall to
Mrs. Mnson, and sho thought It would lo
real kind to go aud tell her. Mrs. Mason
hat. poor health, nnd while we wcro there
ho asked mother if sho knew of any good
?Httlo girl sho could get to come and livo
with- her; 'one sho said, 'who could be
quiet when her head ached, nnd who
would read to her and wait on her at
aUicr times.' Mother snld sho did not
know of nny, but when Mrs. Masou
went out to get tea, I followed nnd told
her of you, and tho tenrs came Into her
eyes when I said your folks wero nil dead,
and you wero nlono and sorry. She snld
right oft thnt she would coma round aud
see you soon, and If she liked you you
should live with her." I
So saying, sho ran off; Mnry, hnvlng
gathered her cowslips, sat down to think ,
of Mrs. .Mason, ami wonder ir sue hiioiiui
ever seo her. That afternoon, wIipu tho
dishes wcro all washed, she, us usual,
stole nway to her books. Sho had not
been long occupied ere some onu called
her, saying Mr. Knight wns downstairs
and wanted to see her, and that there
was a lady with him.
Mary readily guessed that tho lady
must bo Mrs. Mason, and carefully brush
ing her hair nnd tying on n clean apron,
sho descended to tho kitchen, whero she
was met by Mr. Knight, who called out,
"Hallo! my child, how do you do? 'Penrs
to mo you've grown handsome. It agree
with you to live here, I reckon, but I'll
venture you'll bo glad enough to leave
and go und llvo with her, won't you?"
pointing toward a lady who was just
coming from Mrs. Parker's room and to
ward whom Mary's heart Instantly worm
ed. "You see," continued Mr. Knight, "one
of the Lincoln girls has taken a mighty
shluo to you, and it's queer, too, for
they're dreadful stuck-up folks."
"If you please, sir," said Mary, Inter
rupting him, "Jenny Isn't n bit stuck-up."
"Umph!" returned Mr. Knight. "Sho
does not belong to the Lincoln race, then,
I guess. I know them, root and branch.
Lincoln's wife used to work in the fac
tory ut Soutbbrldge, but she's forgot all
about that, and holds her head dreadful
high whenever she sees nie. But that'll
neither here nor there. This woman
wants you to live with her. Miss Mason,
this is Mary. Mary, this is Miss Masou."
The Introduction being thus happily
over, Mrs. Mason proceeded to ask Mary
a variety of questions, aud ended by say
ing sho thought she would take her, al
though sho would rather not have her
rome for a few days, as she was going to
be absent. Miss Grundy was now inter
rogated concerning her knowledgo of
work, and with quite a consequential air
she replied: "Perhaps, ma'am, it looks
too much like praising myself, conslderin'
that I've had the managin' of her mostly,
but I must confess that she's lived with
me so long, and got my ways so well,
that she's as pleasant a mannered, good
tempered child, and will scour as bright
a knife as you could wish to see!"
Saturday came at last, and long before
the sun peeped over the eastern hills
Mary was np and dresBed. Just as she
was ready to leave her room she heard
Rally singing in a low tone, "Ob, there'll
be mourning mourning mourning
mourning; Oh, there'll be mourning when
Mary's gone away."
About nine o'clock Mr. Knight drove
sp alone, Mrs. Mason being sick with
errous headache. "I should hart been
here sooner, said he, "but the roads Is
awful rough, aiul old Chnrlotte has got
a stub or somethlu' In her foot. But
wherc's tho gnl? Ain't she ready?"
He was answered by Mnry herself who
made her appenrnnce, followed by Billy
bearing tho box. And now commenced
the leavo takings, Miss Urundy'.&.turn
coming first; ,
"May I -kiss you, Miss Grundy!' said
Mnry. 'MIbs Grundy bent down .'nnd- re
ceived7 thb child's kiss, and then 'darting
off Into the pantry, went to skimming
pans or milk already skimmed Undo
Pctcr between times kept ejaculating:
"Oh, Lord; oh, massy snket oh, for
Inndl" v Billy knew Jt would be lonely
without Mary, but ho was glad to have
her go to n better homo, sVbc tried to
be cheerful.
Aside from him, Sqlly was tho only
composed one. Jt Is trijo her eyes wore
very bright, and there wns n 'compression
about her mouth seldom seen, except just
before one of, her frenzied attacks. Oc
cnslonnlly,. too, sho .pressed her hnnds up
on her head, and walking to the sink,
bathed It In water, as If. to cool Its In
ward heat.
CHAPTER IX.
Very different this time was Mary'a
rjdo with Mr. Knight from what It had
been some months before, and after
brushing away a few natural tears, nnd
sending, back a few heart-sighs td.tho lov
ed ones )cft behliid, her spirits rallied,
and by the time they reached tho borders
of Rico" Corners there waa such a look
of quiet happiness on her. face that even
Mr. Knight, noticed it. A they rode on
Mary fancied that tho country' looked
plcasantcr and tho houses better than
In tho region of tho poorhouso; and when
n sudden turn of tho rpnd brought Into
view a beautiful blue sheet of water, cm
bosomed by bright green hills, her delight
knew no bounds. Springing up and point
ing toward it, she exclaimed: "Oh, please
stop a moment and look. Isn't it lovely?
What Is It?"
"That? Oh, that's nothing but Tor
dunk Pond,' or as folks most generally
call 'cm, sccln' there's two, North nnd
South Pond."
"How far la the pond from Mrs, Ma
son's?" asked Mary, casting longing
glances toward the distant sandy beach
and the graceful trees which drooped
over the water's cllge.
"It's further back than 'tis there, 'cause
It's uphill all tho wny," said Mr. Knight,
"but here we be at Miss Mason's this
house right here," nnd he pointed to u
neat, hnndsome cottage, almost hidden
from view by tho dense follago which
surrounded It.
There was a long lawn In' front, nnd
Into tho carriage, road on tho right of It
Mr. Knight turned, nnd driving up to a
sldo door, said to Mary, "Come, jump
down, for my foot is so lanio I don't bo;
llovo I'll get out. But thero'a your chest
You can't lift that. Halloo! Judith,
come "ere."
In auswer to this call a fat, pleasant
looking colored woman appeared In tho
doorway, and as If fresh from tho region
of cookdom wiped tho drops of perspira
tion from her round, jolly face.
"Here, Judith," snld .Mr. Knight, "help
this gal lift her traps out."
Judith compiled, and then bidding old
Charlotto to "get up," Mr. Knight drove
away, leaving Mary standing by the
kitchen door.
"Come In and sit down," snld Judith,
pushing a chair toward Mary with Iter
foot. "It's ns hot hero ns an oven, but
I hud crambry sass and ginger snaps, and
massy knows what, to make this morning
und I got belated; but set down and
make yourself to home."
Mary took the proffered sent, and then
Judith left the room for a few moments,
saying when she returned that, as Mrs.
Mason was still suffering from a head
ache, she could not seo Mary until after
dinner. "And," continued Judith, "she
told me to entertain you, but I don't know
what to jiny nor do first. Harry died
just a week to a day beforo he was to bo
married, and so I never had any little
girls to talk lo. Can't you think of some
thing to talk about? What have you
been used to doing?"
"Washing dishes," was Mary'a reply,
"Wall," answered Judith, "I guess you
wtm't have that to do here for one night:
when some of tho neighbors were In I
heard Miss Mason tell 'em that sho got
you to read to her and wait on her. Aud
then she said something about your not
having on equal cbanco with your sister.
You han't but one, now t'other's dead,
have you"
Mary replied in the negative, and Ju
dith continued: "Wall, now you've got
over the first on't, I reckon you's glad
the baby's dead, for she must have been
kind of a bother, wasn't she?"
Instantly Mary's thoughts flew back to
an empty cradle, and again a little golden
head was pillowed upon her breast, as
often In times past It had been, and aa
It would never bo again. Covering her
face with her hands, she sobbed, "Oh,
Alllc, Allle! I wish she hadn't died!"
Judith looked on in nmazginent, nnd for
wnnt of something better to do placed a
fresh stick of wood In the stove, mutter
ing to herself, "Now. I never! I might
of knew I didn't know what to say. What
n pity Harry died. I'll give her that big
ginger snap the minute It's baked. See if
I don't."
Accordingly, when the snap was done,
Judith placed It In Mary's hands, bidding
her eat It quick, aud then go up and see
the nice chamber Mrs, Mason had ar
ranged for her,
"Come," said Judith; and leading the
way, sho conducted Mary up the stair
case, aud through a light, airy ball to the
door of a small room, which she opened,
saying, "Look, ain't It pretty?"
Mary's heart was too full to speak, and
for several minutes she stood silent. With
the exception of her mother's pleasant
parlor in old England, she had never bo
fore seen anything which seemed to her
so cesy and cheerful as did that little
rooa, with its single bed, snow counter
pane, tnnslln curtains, clean matting, "con
venient toilet table, .and what to her wits
fairer than all the rest, upon' the mantel
piece there stood two small vases, filled
with sweet flowers, whose frngranco till
,ed the apartment with delicious perfume.
All this was so different from the bare
walls, uncovered floors nud rickety furni
ture of the poorliouse that Mnry trem
bled lest It Bhould prove n dream from
which ere long sho would awake.
When Mary wns finally seut for by
Mrs. Masou she had been so much accus
tomed to sick persona thnt she knew, in
tuitively just what to do' nnd when (0
'dd It, ntld her step wns so light. Her voice
so low. nud tho hand which bathed the
aching head so soft und gentle In Its touch
that Mrs. Mason Involuntarily drew her
to her bosom, and kissing her lips, called
her. her child, nnd said she should never
leavo her; thpn, laying bnqk in her easy
chair, shejrcmalned perfectly still nhiln
Mary alternately fixed her hair Pbd
smoothed her forehead, until she fell Into
a quiet slumber, from which sho did not
nwnko until Judith rang tho bell for sup
per, which was neatly laid out In n little
dining parlor, opening Into the flower gals
den. There was something so very social
und chceilng in the appearance of thu
n.om, nnd the arrangement of tho table,
with Its glossy white cloth, nnd dishes of
tho samo hue. thnt Mary felt almost as
much like weeping ns she did on the i: tilt
of her nrrlvnl nt the poorhoune. But Mrs.
Mnspn secjned to know exactly how to
entcrtnln her; aud by the time that first
tea was over there was hardly a happier
child in the world than was Mary.
Mrs. Mason soon dismissed her to her
own room, where sue for some time
amused herself with watching the day
light ns it gradually disappeared from
the hills which lay beyond the pond. Then
when It all was gone, nnd the stnrs be
gan to come out, sho turned her eyes
toward ono which had always seemed to
her to be her mother's soul looking down
upon her from the windows of heaven.
Now to-night thero shone bcsldo It a
smaller, feebler one, and In the fleecy
clouds Which floated around It she tan
clod sho could define the face of her baby
sister. Involuntarily stretching out her
hands, sho cried, "Oh, mother Alllc! I
am so happy now;" nud to tho child's Im
agination the stars smiled lovingly upon
her, whllo tho evening wind, as It gently
moved the boughs of the tnll elm trees,
seemed like tho rustle of angels' wings.
Who shall sny tho mother's spirit wns
not there to rejoice with her daughter
over the glad futuro opening so brightly
before her?

Laity "Hobs" and Her Trunks.
Thero Is n story going around about
Lady Roberts nnd her trunks, for the
truth of which, says tho Westminster
Gazette, a man returning from South
Africa vouches. '
At tho height of (he trnnsport dlfllcul
ties, Lady Roberts curried eight large
trunks from Capo Town to Bloemfon
teln In tho very teeth of the officers. ,
Everybody wondered, everybody
grumbled. No one hut Lady Roberts
could have takeu the things through.
The transport of stores had been stop
ped for tho time, the sick lacked every
comfort, und thoso who wero not sick
wero hulf-starved and only hnlf-clnd.
Therefore, when a fatigue party was
told off to fetch thoso eight trunks from
Bloetnfonteln station, somo rather un
complimentary things were suld about
women travelers In general aud this
latest transgressor In particular.
Next day seven of the eight trunks
wero unpacked, and their contents dis
tributed among the soldiers. Tho clover
lady land snapped her lingers at red
tape, and had smuggled through com
forts for tho men. One small trunk con
tained her personal belongings.

TA FAR-SEEING CHARITY.
How the Mothcro of the Next Genera
tion Anionu tho Poor Will TroBt.
"Probably the oddest philanthropic,
establishment In New York City, nnd
yet one of the most practical there or
elsewhere, Is a 'School for Little Moth
ere.' " This C. Montgomery McGovern
makes the sal ject of nn article In tho
Woman's Home Companion, saying:
"The object of this Institution Is to
teach little girls to 'become excellent
mothers-nothing more, nothing less.
Here tho pupils are given no Instruc
tions in reading, writing, 'arithmetic, or
)b any of the other subjects learned In
fldlMr? schools. Instcnd, they are

scrub and sweep; how to keep even a
tenement home nent and cheerful; how
to buy food nud clothing economically;
how to mend; how to sew, and how to
cook dishes that nro both cheap and ap
petizing. Each little inqther Is taught
also how to act at tabic, being drilled
first ns a waitress, next as n guest, and
Unally how to" conduct herself In the
capacity of a hostess. The little girls
who attend this school arc the elder
cfitldreti In extremely poor and large
families of the tenements whqre both
the father and mother must go out to
work; or where the death of tho father
has made tho mother the only bread
winner; or, ns Is most often the case?
where the mother Is too weak cither
from Ill-health or from mnluutrltlon to
attend to her household duties as ah
might If sho were well.
"Tho babies In the nursery arc both
boys and girls, and are between the
ages or two nnd four. They aro the
younger slBtcrs nnd brothers of the
'Utile mothers who aro In tho other
apartments learning how to conduct
themselves at borne. At stated Inter
vals throughout the day the older girls
come .up to tho "nursery, here to bo
shown by an experienced teacher how
to undress Tommy, wash his face and
hnnds, put on a night-gown (for the chil

Any man who has ever done business
at an Jutelllgeuco oltlee will feel a thrill
of sympathy for uic, aa a recent victim
of that Institution. My wife wns mild
ly lamenting yesterday that fate had
driven away the maid servant, nnd that
she would have to get another. I rashly
suld that 1 would do It for her.
"There Is an lutelllgeuco ofllce near
pny ofllce," I said. "I'll run In there at
noon and send a girl out early In the
afternoon."
1 went into the aforesaid Intelligence
ofllce as I i (-'turned from lunch, and
was at once absorbed by a roomful of
females, every one of whom gnred at
me suspiciously. I am a bashful man.
"but I nerved, myself and began talking
with a young woman who sal near the
door,
"We Imve four In oiir.fninlly myiplf,

"Pardon me," she Interrupted. "I am
looking for a servant myself."
I apologised aud she nickered. I then
tackled an applicant for n Job. I did
not "shed light," for sho naked ques
