dress the only white npron which sho
possessed, she started for Mrs. Camp
bell's. The resemblance between herself
and Ella Campbell was Imicoil so sirr
ing that but for the dress tho mother
intent easily have believed It to have been
her own child. As It was, she started up
when tho little girl appeared, and, draw
ing her to her side, Involuntarily kissed
her; then, causing her to sit down by her
Ide, she minutely examined her fea
tures, questioning her meantime concern
ing her mother and her home In England.
Of the latter Ella could only tell her that
they lived In n city, and that her mother
had once taken Her to a large, uhuutoihi.
house In the country, which she said was
her old home.
From this Mrs. Campbell Inferred that
Ella's family must have been superior
to most of the English who emigrate to
this country, and after a few more ques
tion hp ilep l.led to take her for a time
at least; so with another kiss she dismiss
ed her, telling her she would come for
her soon. Meantime arrangements were
making for Mary and Alice, and on tho
same day in which Mrs. Campbell was
to call for Ella Mr. Knight, one of the
"selectmen," whose business It was to
look after the town's poor, also came to
the cottage. After learning that Ella
was provided for, he turned to Mary,
asking, "how old she was, and what she
could do," saying that his wife was in
want of just such n girl to do chores,
and if she was willing to be separated
from Alice he would give her a home with
Mm.
Hut Mary only hugged her sister closer
to her bosom as she replied, "I'd rather
go with Alice. I promised motner 10
take care of her."
"Very well," said the man. "I'm going
to North Chlcopce, but shnll be back In
two hours, so you must have your things
all ready."
"IWt cry so, Mary," whispered Billy,
when he saw how fast her tears were
falling. "I'll come to see you every week,
and when I am older, and have money, I
will take you from the poorhouse, and
Alice, too."
Just then Mrs. Campbell's carriage
Jrove up. She had been taking her after
noon ride, and now, on her way home,
had stopped for Ella, who in her delight
at going with so handsome a woman, for
got the dreary home which awaited her
tlster. While she was getting ready
Mr. Knight returned, and, driving his
old-fashioned yellow wagon up by the
ilde of Mrs. Campbell's stylish carriage,
he entered the house, saying, "Come, gal.
you're ready, I hope. The old mare don't
want to stand, and I'm in a desput hur
ry, too. I ort to be to hum this minute,
Instead of driving over that stony Part
npog road. I hope you don't mean to
sarry that ar thing." he continued, point
ing with his whip toward Alice's cradle,
which stood near Mary's box of clothes.
The tears came Into Mary's eyes, and
the answered, "Alice has always slept
In It, and I didn't know but "
Here she stopped and. running up to
Ella, hid her face In ber lap and sobbed,
"I don't want to go. Oh! I don't want
to go; can't I stay with you?"
Billy's yellow handkerchief was sud
denly brought Into requisition, and Mrs.
Bender, who, with all her imaginary
aches and pains, was a kind-hearted
woman, made vigorous attacks upon her
snuffbox, while Mrs. Campbell patted
Mary's head, saying. "Poor child, I can't
take you both, but you shall see your sis
ter often."
Ella was too much pleased with Sirs.
Campbell and the thoughts of the fine
home to which she was going to weep,
but her chin quivered when Mary held
up the baby for her to kiss, and said,
"Perhaps you will never see little Allle
again."
When all was ready Mr. Knight walk
ed around his wagon, and, after trying
to adjust the numerous articles It con
tained, said; "I don't see how In the
world I can carry that cradle; my wagon
is chuck full now. Here Is a case of
shoes for the gals to stitch, and a piller
case of flour for Miss Smith, and forty
Ieven other traps, so I guess you'll have
to leave It, Mebby you can find one
there, and If not, why, she'll Boon get
used to going without It."
Beforo Mary could reply Billy whisper
ed In her ear. "Never mind, Mary; you
know that little cart that I draw moth
er's wood In; the cradle will Just fit It,
and to-morrow afternoon I'll bring It to
vou. If It doesn't ruin."
Mary knew that he meant what he
said, and, 'smiling on him through ber
tears, climbed Into tn ncKety wagon
which was minus a step, and, taking
Alice Into her arms, she was soon moving
awav. In striking contrast to this Ella,
about five minutes afterward, was care
fully lifted Into Mrs. Campbell s hand
some carriage, and reclining upon soft
cushions was driven rapidly toward her
new home,
Will their paths In life always continue
thus different? Who can tell7

How long and tiresome that ride was.
with no one for a companion except Sir.
Knight, who, though a kind-hearted man,
know nothing about making himself
agreeable to little girls, so he remained
perfectly taciturn. Alice soon fell asleep,
nud though tho little urms which held
iior tidied sadly, there was no complaint.
'Only Mary's tears gushed forth, and
fnllliiL' iinon the baby's face awoko her.
Her nap waB not half out, and setting up
innrl erv she continued screaming un
til they drove up to tbu very door of ,th
popihouse.
"For the land's sake," said Mr. Knight,
. i helncd Mary from tho wagon
"what a racket; can't you contrive to
stop it? you'll havo Sal Kurbusli in your

many such hero?"
"Don't be afcerd," said Mr. Knight;
"that's tiobody but foolish Patsy; she
never hurt anybody In her lire. Come,
now, let me show you to the overseer.
And he led her toward tho red-whtsker-cd
man, who stood In the door.
"Here, Parker," said he. "I've brought
them children I was tellln' you about.
You've room for 'em, I s'pose?"
"Why, ye-cs, we can work It so's to
mako room."
They now entered the kitchen. Mary
was very tired with holding Alice bo
long, and, sluklng Into a chair near tho
window, she would have cried; but there
was a tightness In her throat, and a pres
sure about her head and eyes which kept
the tears from flowing. She pressed her
hands tightly and said, "Oh, I hopo I
shan't faint."
"To be sure you won't." said a loud,
harsh voice, and Instantly large drops of
water were thrown In her face, whllo
the same voice continued; "You don't
have such spells often, I hope, for Lord
knows I don't want any more titty oues
here."
"No. ma'am." said Mary, meekly; and
looking up, she saw before her a tall,
square-backed, masculine looking wom
an, who wore a very short dress, and a
very high-crowned cap, fastened under
her chin with bows of sky-blue ribbon.
Siary secretly hoped she would not prove
to be Mrs. Parker, the wife of the over
seer. She was soon relieved of her fears
by the overseer himself, who said, "Polly,
I don't see any other way but you'll havo
to take these children Into the room next
to yourn. The baby worries a good deal,
and such things trouble my wife, now
she's sick."
The person addressed as "Polly" gave
hor shoulders an angry jerk, and stick
ing the pin on the waist of her dress,
replied, "So, I s'pose It's no matter if
I'm kept awake all night, and worried
to death. But I guess you'd find there'd
be queer doin's here If I should be taken
away. I wish the British would stay to
hum, and not lug their young ones here
for us to take care of. Come, child, I
will show you where you are going to
sleep;" at the same time she caught up
Alice, who, not liking ber handling, kick
ed so vigorously that she was Boon drop
ped, Polly remarking that "she was
mighty strong In ber legs for a sick
baby."
After passing np a dark stairway they
came to a door, which opened under the
garret stairs, and Mary was startled by
a voice which seemed to be almost over
her head, and which, between a sneer
and a hiss, called out, "See where the
immaculate Miss Grundy comes!" Mary
sprang In terror to Polly's side.
"Oh, what is It?" she said. "Is it
Patsy?"
"Patsy!" was the tart reply. " She nev
er Is saucy like that. It's Sal Furbush."
Mary asked who Sal Furbush was,
and was told she was one of the poor
Insane Inmates. She subsequently learn
ed that Sal was perfectly harmless, and
struck up quite a friendship with her.
At present Mary followed ber guide until
they came to a longer and lighter ball,
or "spaccway," as It Is frequently called
In New England. On each side of this
there were doors opening into small sleep
ing rooms, and Into one of these Polly
led her companion, saying, as she did so,
"This is your room, and it's a great fa
vor to you to be so near me. But mind,
that child mustn't cry and keep mo
awake nights, for If she does, maybe
you'll have to move Into that other space,
where we beard the laugh.
Siary thought she would rather do any
thing than that. She also felt a great
curiosity to know who her companion
was, so she at last ventured to ask, "Do
you live here, SIlss Polly?"
"Why, yes. I'm staying here for a
spell now; kind of seeing things. Sly
name Isn't Polly. It's Siary Grundy, and
somehow folks have got to nicknaming
me Polly, but It'll look more mannerly
In vou to call me Sirs. Grundy; but what
am I thinking of? The folks must have
their supper."
That night Alice, who missed ber cra
dle, was unusually restless, nnd Siary,
remembering Sirs. Urundy's threat, car
rled her la her arms until after midnight.
Then, without undressing, she threw her
self upon the bed, and for tho first time
in many weeks dreamed of George and
his parting promise to see her again. The
next morning when she awoke, tho clouds
were pouring rain. "Hilly won't come
to-day," was her first thought, nnd,
throwing herself upon the floor, she burst
Into tears, wishing, as she had once
done before, that she bad died with ber
mother.
In the midst of her grief the door was
pushed hastily open, and Sirs. Grundy's
harsh voice exclaimed, "Wall, bo you are
un at last, hey? I didn't know but you
was goln' to take It upon you to sleep
over, but that don't answer here. Do you
think we's goln' to support you In idle
ncss?"
Here, touched perhaps by the pale,
tearful face, uplifted to hers, Mrs. Grun
dy's voice softened, and In a milder tone
she added, "Wo won't mind about It, see-
In' it's the first morning; but, come
vou must bo hungry by this time."
Mary l-Iuiico.i1 at Alice. She' was sleep
ing sweetly, and, though there seemed to
be no reason, she still lingered.
"What are you waiting for?" asked
Mrs. Grundy, and Siary, with somo Iiesl
'tatlon, answered, "I haven't said my
nrnvera vet."
A change passed suddenly over Mrs,
Grundy's face, and sho turned away
without a word. When Bhe was gone
Siary fell on her knees, and though the
words sho uttered wore addressed more
to her mother than to God, sho felt com
forted, and, rising up, started for tho
kitchen. It was a motley group which
1ib found assembled around tho break
fast table, and as she entered tho room
a man called Uncle Peter smuea on uer,
saying, "Como hore. Ilttlo daughter, nnd
let mo touch you with tho top of my
fourth finger."

whoc dress nnd appearance Indicated
lint ho lii-Innirml to n litcher cm do. as far
as wealth was concerned. It was Henry
Lincoln, notorious both for pride nnd In
solence. Billy, who had worked for Sir,
Lincoln, had been Insulted by Henry
mnm- n (Imp. nnil now ho loncred to
avenge It, but nntlve politeness taught
him that in tho presence of Mary 'twould
not be proper, so without n word to Hen
ry he whispered to the little girl, mat

gives you trouble Just let me know."
-U"Uf.,l hpr then, didn't vou?" sneer-
Ingly asked Henry, retreating at the same
time, for tUero was something lu limy s
eyes which he feared.
Come Into tho home, said Siary,
"where he can't see us." and lending the
way she conducted him np to hor owu
room, where tboro was no fear of being
Interrupted.
Alice was first carefully fixed In her
cradle, and then kneeling down at Billy's
side, and laying her arms neross his lap.
Siary told him of everything which had
happened, and finished by asking, "how
long she must stay here?"
Had Billy's purse been as large as hi
heart, that question would nave easily

Siary did not speak for some time, but
her head dropped on Billy's kneo, and
she seemed, to be. Intently thinking. At
last, brushing aside the hair which had
fallen over her forehead. Hilly, said:
