Jiug dress all ready—it s grown yellow in a chest in the garret But after awhile the luoe took np my trouble drop by drop till it was gone, and 1 couldn't tel! you today where it is. So I’ll leach you. dear Those are tho three rolls 1 did in tho three years, oue for itch. They’re yellow uow. you s e e ." Faith o|R'iie.d one and spread it ont. It was an intricate pattern, very broud. “ It’s hard to do," she said, “ bnt that is ull tho better for tho forgetting If I'd been a man, 1 should have gone sway to Africa I've ofteu thought it would do a good deal toward making a body forget to see the suu falling down like a ball aud the lark come us if somebody had blowu out the ligbt. But 1 couldn't very well, so I learned to crochet 1 never gave the lace away, you see, because J had worked my trou­ ble iuto it. and 1 was afraid 1 thought a long time about it when Alice was married, but 1 was afraid it would some way make her sad when she wore it. So it’s all here This is the first year's—you see I ’ve numbered it one— i and this is the second s and this tho third's There’s the three.’’ Faith handled the rolls over and over, lost for u minuto in the associations which they revived Her niece seemed to have torgotten her own grief for the time aud was observing her aunt curiously as she bent over the lace. "That’s a fern pattern, said Faith "It’s very pretty. " Faith sat silent for a time, smoothing out the creasos of the luce aud druwiug it out to its length, ft seemed to have the effect of uu enchanter's wand, for it summoned old faces aud scenes at will, aud Faith grew blind to the little room and the needs of her guest At last Grace moved impatiently "Yes, yes," said Faith, like one awakiug, "to forget This is tlio way Here is the old patteru. 1 will teach you." Sho bnstled about, finding thread aud needle, sealed herself ut Grace’s side, drew the thread through tier fingers aud began her work "There, ’ »he said efter a minute. "Do yen see how it's tlouu? It isn’t hard Try it ' Grace took the needle helplessly ■‘Do you think I could forget so, aunt?" she asked hesitatingly. “ 1 did, " said Fuith. Grace had returned to her task and made one or two awkward motions with the needle when there camo a ling at tlio door “ It's Phil I" exclaimed Grace, spring­ ing np “ Grace I" said the recreant lover, standing awkwardly by tlio door, ufter Aunt Faith had admitted him and bad retreated toward her chair There were shame and pleading in his voice. Grace caught her hut aud '.vent to him without another word. “ W e’ll try tho crochetiug some other time. Aunt Faith," said Grace. Then seeing her aunt s half dazed expression, as if she hardly understood this new de­ velopment of affairs, slio run buck uud kissed her Grace's face bore no truce of sadness as she turned to Phil, aud they went out chatting merrily Faith listened till the last footfall on the erust hud died away, then carefully rolled up the lace “ ¡She tlnuks she’s happier," thought Faith, “ but Pin uot so sure. A man's heart is uuccrtuiu property, bnt a cro­ chet uec«le. as s liu hud her hand ap­ provingly upon those on tho table, “ is always the euinu.’ — bpriugficld Re­ publican Miss Faith sat in close companion- ihip, ns usual, with her familiar spirit, , piece of crocheted edging Ilcr touch open the mazes of tangled thread was very gentle, even mdearii g, uud her look of content as she held it up aud noted its effect as n whole seemed vast­ ly out of proportion to the cause. Miss Faith was still pretty, with the pathetic beauty held as flotsam from the wreck of years Her hair was prettier as silver than it had ever been as brown, and her eyes, though they had lost thoir vivid glow aud eagerness, had gained a kindly sympathy Her tenderness had even ex­ tended to the crocheting in her hnud uud imparled something to t h a t usually very impel sonul object that ht'r fancy- had fretted iuto thiukiug 11 respouse Sho passed her hand affectionately over it uow, as the figure of a pineapple, much conventionalized, repeating itself like liistory uguiu and again, fell in scal­ lops to the flour "It’s most done, ” she thought “ 1 can go back to the oak leaf pretty soon ” A change in the crochet pattern was the chief diversion of Faith s life, that ran on as monotonously to the observer as the tuue of tho famous harper who played upon only one string To an ant the coming of a stick or a stone may be u great event it is uot hard to under­ stand how a life that consists in taking infinite pains with many littlo things may get its sips of excitement, interest aud novelty lroin a change 111 u patteru of crochet. The examination c.f the work appeared to he satisfactory, and Faith laid it on the table ut her side This ta­ ble was devoted to the uses of her art, nor was ever profaned by tile presence of auy irrelevant substance. There were rows of spools upon it, dmwu up in lines like soldiers ready to receive an attack, books of various sizes lying like weapons by their side aud various rolls of lace, tho finished product of their warfare. Faith regarded them with ap­ proval. hut her hand that had lain upon the table fell away from the accustomed task, aud she sat idle, watching the red coal, the shadows the lamplight threw upon the curpct and listening to the clatter that Mary, her mind of all work, was making as a part of the dishwash­ ing “ It’s a kind of jugglery she goes through with those dishes, ’’ thought Faith regretfully, “ a sleight of hand performance, to sec how many tricks she cuu do before ouo of them will break. ’’ But her face did uotcloud, for she bud learned resignation She had surrendered to Mary the dishes uud all the rest of the household divinities that she had served so deftly uud eurelully for years that she might be more ut lei­ sure to while nwuy her time m her owu iuuoceut tushiou.
