After reading this letter Mary sat for a long time thinking of George Morelaud of tho time when she first knew him of all that William Bender had been to With 41ie rubles. Mr. Tliotiuia J.

In the old brown school house, over shadowed by apple trees and sheltered, on the west by a long, steep hlll, where the acorns and wild grapes grow', Mary Howard taught a little Dock of twenty five, coaxing some, urging others and teaching them all by her kind words and winsome ways to love her as they had never beforo loved an Instructor. When first sho was proposed as a teacher In Itlco Corner, Widow Perkins, and a few others who had no children to end, held up their hands In amazement, Wondering "what tho world was couiln' to, and It the committeeman, Mr. Knight, 'posed they was goln' to bo rid over roughshod by a town pauper; but she couldn't get a atlffcut, for tho orthodox minister wouldn't give- her one; and If he did, tho Unitarian minister wouldn't!" Accordingly, when It was known that tho ordeal had been passed and that Mary had In her possession a piece of pa per about three Inches square, authoriz ing her to teach a common district school, this worthy conclave concluded that "either everybody bad lost their senses or else Miss Mason, who was present at the examination, bad sat by and whis pered In her car the answers to all hard questions." "In all ray born days I never seen any thing like It," said the widow, as she distributed her green tea, sweetened with brown sugar, to a party of ladles, which he was entertaining. "But you'll sec, he won't keep her time mor'n half out 'Bally Ann, pass them nutenkes. No body's goln' to send their children to a pauper. There's Miss Bradley says she'll take her'n out tho first time they get licked. Have some more Bass, MWs Dodge. I want It eat up, for I bellevo It's n-Workln' but I tolled her that warn't tho trouble, Mary's too softly to hurt a tntskooter. And so young, too. It's government she'll lack lu. If nny body'll have a piece of this dried appln pie, I'll cut It.' Fortunately, Mary know nothing of Mrs. Perkins' displeasure, and never dreamed that any feeling existed toward "her save that of perfect friendship. Since we last saw her, she had grown into a fine, healthy looking girl. Her face nn.l flguro were round and full, and her com plexion, though still rather pale, was dear as marble, contrasting well wjth her dark-brown hair and eyes, which no longer seemed unnaturally large. Still, he was not beautiful, It Is true, and yet Billy was not far from right when he called her tho finest looking girl In Chlco pee; and It was for this reason, perhaps, that Mrs. Campbell watched with Jeal ousy. Every possible pains had been taken with pin's education. Tho best teach er had been hired to Instruct her, and ho was now at a fashionable seminary, but still she did not possess, one-half thu ease and gracefuluess of manner which seemed natural to her sister. The two girls had seen but little of each other; and oftentimes when Ella met her sister he merely acknowledged her presence by a nod or a slmplo "how d yo do? "I know them children will split their throats. Can't they hold up a minute," exclaimed Mrs. Perkins, greatly annoyed at being thus prevented from overhearing a conversation tho nature of which sho could not oren guess. Tho stranger was at that moment smil ingly saying: "Tell me more about her. Docs sho ever scold, or has she too p'retty a mouth for'thnt?" "No, she novcr scolds," said Delia Frost, "and she's got tho nicest "wblto teeth, and I guess sho knows it, too, for she shows them a groat deal." "She's real white, too," rejoined Lydla Knight, "though pa says sho UBcd to bo yallcr as saffron." Ilerc'thcro was-a gentle rnp'ttpon tho window, and the girls, starting off, ex clalmod: "There, wo must go In." "Mny I go, too?" asked the stranger, following them to tho door, "Introduce me as Mr. Stuart." Lydla had never Introduced anybody In her life, and, following her companions to her sent, sho left Mr. Stuart standing In the doorway. With her usual politeness, Mnry camo forward and received tho stranger, who gave his name as Mr. Stu art, saying "ho felt mnch Interested In common schools, and thercforo had ven tured to call." Offering the scat of honor, Mar re sumed her usual duties, occasionally casting n look of curiosity at the stranger, vhosc eyes seemed constantly upon her. It was rather warm that day, and when Mary returned from her dinner Widow Perkins was greatly shocked at seeing her attired la a light pink muslin dress, tho short sleoros of which showed to good ndvnntigo her round, whlto arms. A nar row velvet ribbon confined by n small brooch and n black silk apron, completed her toilet, with the exception of n tiny locket, which was suspended from hur neck by u slender gold chain. This lust ornament Immediately riveted Mr. Stu art's attention, and from somo strange cause sent tho color quickly to, his face. After a time, as If to ascertain" whether It wore really a locket or a watch, ho ask ed "If Miss Howard could tell him the hour?" "Cortnlnly, sir," said she, and stepping to tho desk and consulting a silver timo pleco about tho size of a dining plate, sho told him thut it was half-past three. When school was out Mr. Stuart, who seemed In no hasto whntevcr, entered in to a lively discussion with Mnry concern ing schools nnd books, adroitly managing to draw her out upon nil the leading top ics of the day. At last the conversation turned upon tlowcrs; and when Mary chanced to mention Mrs. Mnsou's beauti ful garden he Instantly expressed a great desire to see It, and.jinally otTercu to Ac company Mary home, provided sho had no objections. She could not, of course, say no, nnd tho Widow Perkins camo very near letting her buttermilk biscuit burn to a cinder when she saw tho young man walking down tho road with Mary. Arrived at Mrs. Mason's, the stranger managed to mnko himself so agreeable that Mrs. Mason Invited him to stay to Whoever ho was, ho seeiped to iin- her since and wondcrlhg, as gtrls 'omi-.

Now, Mrs. Perkins' clock was liko Its mis tress, always half an hour In advanco of the true time, and Mnry had scarcely taught a week ere Mr. Knight, "tho com mitteeman," was duly hulled In the street and told that the "schoolmarm wanted lookln' to, for she didn't begin no morn In' till half-past nine, nor no afternoon till half-past one! Besides that," sho added, "I think she gives 'em too long a play spell. Anyways, seems ef somo on 'cm was out o' doors the hull time." Mr. Knight had too much good sense to heed tho widow's complaints, aud ho merely replied: "I'm glad ou't. Five hours is enough to keep little shavers cramped up in the house glad on't." The widow, thus foiled In hor attempts at making disturbance, finally gave up the strife, contenting herself with quiz sing the older girls, and asking them If Mary could do all the bard sums In arith metic, or whether she took them borne (or Mrs, Mason to solve! In spite, howeTer.of these little an noyances, Mary was contented and hap py. She knew that her pupils loved her, and that the greater part of the district were satisfied, so she greeted the widow with her pleasantest smile, and by al ways being particularly polite, finally overcame her prejudice to a considerable extent., One afternoon about the middle of July, as Mrs. Perkins was seated by her front window engaged lu "switching hoes," a very common employment in orae parts of New England, her atten tion was suddenly diverted by a tall, tyliih-looklng young man, who, driving his handsome horse and buggy under the shadow of the apple trees, alighted and entered into conversation with a group of little girls who were taking their usual recess. Mrs. Perkins' curiosity was roused, and Sally Ann was called to aee who the stranger was. But for a wonder Sally Ann didn't know, though he "guessed the hosa was one of the kSast Chicopee livery." "He's talkln' to Llddy Knight," said he. at the same tiras holding back the curtain and stepping aside so as not to be risible herself. "Try If you can hear what he's sayln'," whispered Mrs. Perkins; but a class of boys in the school house just then struck Into tho multiplication table, thus effec tually drowning anything which Sally aa salgbt otherwise bars beard. all about It to-morrow;" aud with this consolatory remark sho returned to the best room and for tho .cmalnder of thu evening devoted herself to the entertain ment of Uncle Jim and his wife, Aunt Dolly. That evening Mr. Knight, who had been to the postoltlce, called at Mrs. Ma son's, bringlug with him a letter which bore tho Boston postmark. Passing It to Mary, he winked nt Mrs. Mason, saying, "I kinder guess how all this writin' works will end; but hain't thero been a young chap to see the school?" "Yes; how did you know It?" returned Mrs. Mason, while Mary flushed more deeply than she did when Billy's letter was handed her. "Why, you see," answered Mr. Knight, "I was about at the foot of the Blanch ard hill, when I see a buggy coming like Jehu. Just as It got agin me It kinder slackened and the fore wheel ran off mack and scissors." "Was be hurt?" quickly asked Mary. "Not a bit on't," said Mr. Knight, "but he was scared some, I guess. I got out and helped blm, and when he heard I' from Itice Corner he said he'd been Into school. Then he asked forty-'leven ques tions about you, and Jest as I was settln' you un high, who- should come a-canterln' up, with their long-tailed gowns, and hats liko men, but I'lja Campbel) and a great white-eyed pucker, that came home with her from school? Either, Ella's horse was scary or she did It a purpose, for the mlnit she got near It began to rare, and she would have fell off if that man hadn't catched it by the bit and held her oa with t'other hand. I alius was the most sanguinary of men, and I was building castles about him and our llttlo school- marm, when Ella came along, and I gin It up, for I aee that be was took, and he did look handsome, with' her curls a llyln' Wall, as I wasn't of no wore use, I whipped up old Charlotte and come on." "When did Ella return?" asked Mary, who had not before hoard of her sister's arrival. "I don't know." ald Mr. Knight, "The first I see of her was cuttln' through the streets on the dead run; but I mustn't stay here gabbln', so good-night, Mlis Mason good-night, Mary hope you're got good news in that ar letter," The moment he was gone Mary ran up to her room to read her letter, from which we giro the following extract: "You must bare forgotten Georys More- times will, which sho liked tho best. Bill.' unquestionably had the strongest claim to her lovo. but could he have knowr how much satisfaction she felt In think ing that Gcorgo still remembered and felt Interested In her he would hnvo had some reason for fearing, as he occasionally did, that she' would never bo to him aught save a sister. GIIAPTEB XII. Tho summer was drawing to a close, nnd with It Mary's school. She haf suc ceeded in giving satisfaction to the en tiro district. Mr. Knight, with whom Mnry was a great favorite, offered her tho school for tho coming winter, but' she had decided Upon attending school her self, nnd after modestly declining his of fer, told him of her Intention. "But where's the money coming from?" said he. Mnry laughingly asked him how mnny bngs of shoes ho supposed sho had stitch ed during tho last two years. "Morc'n two hundred, 111 bet," said he. "Not quite as many as that," answerod Mary; "but still I have managed to earn my clothes nnd thirty dollars besides; and this, together with my school wages, will pay for ono term and pnrt of another." "Well, go ahead," returned Mr. Knight "I'd help you If I could. Go abend; and who knows but you'll ono dny be the president's wife." When Widow Perkins heard that Mar7 was going away to school sho forgot to put any yenst In the brend which she wns making, nnd, bidding Sally Ann "watch It until It rlz," she posted off to Mrs. Ma son's to Inquire tho particulars, reckoning up us she went along how much fourteen weeks' wnges would couio to at ulno shil lings per week. But with all her quizzing nnd "pump ing," as Judith called It, she was un able to ascertain anything of Importance, nnd, nu-ucnlly styllug Mrs. Mason, Mary, Judith and nil "great gumphcads," she returned home nnd relieved Sally Ann from hor watch over unleavened bread. Both Mrs. Mason and Mary, laughed heartily at tho widow's curiosity, though, as Mary said, "It was no laughing mat ter where tho money wns to come frum (vhlch she needed for her books nnd cloth ing." Everything which Mrs. Mnson could do for her sho did, nnd even Judith, who was never famous for generosity, brought In one Saturday morning n half-worn merino, which sho thought ''mcb'uy could be turned nnd sponged, nnd .made Into somethln decent," adding, In an under tone, thut "she'd hnd It out alrlu' on the clothes boss for moro'n two hours!" 1 A few days afterward Jenny Lincoln came galloping up to tho school house door, declaring her Intention of staying until school was out, nn.l having u good time. "I hear yon are going to Wllbrnham." said she, "but I want you to go (o Mount Holyoke. We are going, a wholo lot of un that Is, If we can pass examination. Itose Isn't pleased with tho Idea, but .1 am. I think 'twill be fun to wash po tatoes and scour knives.

Her father and her Annt Mar tha used to be schoolmates with Miss Lyon, nnd they hare always Intended that Ida should graduate at Mount Hol yoke. Now, why can't you go, too?" "I wish I could," said Mnry, "but I can't. I haven't money enough, and there is no one to glre it to me," "It wouldn't hurt Mrs. Campbell to help you a little," returned Jenny. "Why, last term Ella spent almost enough for candies and gutta perchn toys to pay tho expense of half a year's schooling at Mount Holyoke. It's too bod that sho should have everything and you nothing." (To bo continued.) Cures Victims of Drug. A church union now exists In Now York for the most remarkable purpose on record.

For the last tblrty-tbreo years he has been an acknowledged authority on matters canine, nnd hat hnd much to do with rabies, not only from the standpoint of n dog expert, but as a graduate of medicine. He said; "My opinion Is that the utero fact ol finding foreign substances In the stem neb Is nlmost a positive proof that the dog did not have rabies.
