OHAPTEIt XI.
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

Mrs. Perkins' clock was liko Its mis

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

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

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'

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

"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:

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

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."

"You look so like SO cents!" protested
the Horse, regarding palnedly the
woman driving.

loud laugh.

Lovo, Not Flattery.
Whether to paint to please posterity
or tho present generation Is no doubt a
vexed questlou, for It belongs to few to
achieve both. Tho artist Is so largely
exposed to criticism from tho friends
aud relatives of the Hitter that his posi
tion Is a difficult one, for demands are
made upon his brush which he may be
personally unwilling to fullll. A subtle
story Is told of nn artist, now dead,
to whom It was remarked that ho nat
tered his sitters. "No," said the master,
smiling, "I only paint Truth lovingly."
