CHAPTER XI. - I
Id the old brown school bouse, over
shadowed by apple tree ml sheltered,
on the wnt by ls. lp I'M. where
tba acorns and wild grape grew, Mary
Howard taught little H-k of, twenty
five, coaxing some, urging others and
teaching thmn all by her kind word and
winsome way to love bur tbt1? baJ
never before loved n Instructor.
When first ehe wee proposed a
teacher In Rice Corner, Widow Perkins,
nil few others wbo bud no children to
send, held np thntr hands In amazement,
wondering "whet the world win romlu'
to, and If the committeeman, Mr. Knight,
a'posed they was goln' to be rid over
roughshod by town pauper; but she
couldn't get a etlffcut, for the orthodox
minister wouldn't give her one; and If
he did, the Unitarian utiltt'r wouldn't!"
Accordingly, wb? It wan known that
tbe ordeal bad been pasted and that
Mary bad In ber possession a iic of pa
per about three Inches square, antboriz
Ids her to teach a common district srbnoL
thia worthy conclave concluded that
"either everybody bad lout their sense
or else Mtaa Mon, wbo was present at
tba rumination, had ' ni1 whl
percd in her ear tba answers to all burd
qUeStlollS."
"In all my born days I never awn any
thing like It.", said tha widow, a she
distributed ber green tea. sweetened wttn

ahe won't keep her time mor'n half out

body'll have a piece of thia dried apple

Fortunately, Mary knew nothing of
Mra. Perkins' Hapleaaure, and never
dreamed that any feeling existed toward
ber aave that of perfict friendship. Since
we last saw her, ahe bad grown Into
fine, healthy looking girl. Her face and
figure were rouud and full, and her com

ahe waa not beautiful, It ia true, and yet
Hilly waa not far from right when he
called her the fluent look lug girl In Chlco
pee; and It waa for thia reaaon, perhapa,
that Mra. Campbell watclieii with jeal
ousy. Every possible palna bad been taken
with KUa'e education. Tbe beat teach
era bad been hired to Instruct her, and
aba waa now at fashionable aetnlnary,
but atlll ahe did not possess one-half the
eaae and gracefulness of mauner which
aeeroed nntural to her sister. The two
atria bad aeen but little of each other;
and oftentimea when Klla met ber alater

When ahe beard that Mary waa to be
teacher ahe aald "ahe waa glad, for It
waa more reaper table than going Into
factory or working out." Mra. Campbell,
too, felt In duty bound to express a her
ploaaure, adding that "ahe hoped Marj
would give ButUfactlon, but 'twaa ex
tremely doubtful, he waa ao young, and
ponaeaned of ao little dignity!"
Unfortunately Widow Terklna red cot
tage atood directly opposite the. acbool
bonne; and aa the widow belonged to that
tlrrlng few who alwaya "wnah tha
break fait dtnlica and make the beda be
tnr inmnn la nn In the holme." she had
ample lelaure to watch and report on
, tbe proceeding of the new teacher. Now;
Mra. Perking' clock waa like tta mla
trcM, nlwaya half an hour In advance
of tho true time, end Mary had ararcvly
taught a week ere Mr. Knight, "the com
mitteeman," waa duly hulled in the atreet
and told that the 'Vhoolinarm wanted
lookln' to, for ahe didn't begin no morn
ln' till half-pnat nine, nor no afternoon
till hnlf-paat one! 'Hoaldea that," alio
added, "I think ahe gives 'em too long a
ploy apell. Anywaya, aeema ef aome on
'em wait out o' doora the hull time."
Mr. Knight had too much good aenao
to heed the wldow'a complaints, and he
merely repllotl: "I'm glad ou't. Five

cramped up in tho house glnd on't."
The widow, thiiB foiled In her attempts
at making disturbance, finally gave up I
th strife, contenting herself with quiz
slug the older girls, and asking them If
Mary could do all the hard sums In arith
metic, or whether ahe took them homo
for Mrs. Mason to solve!
In spite, however, of these little an
; noyances, Mary waa contented and hap
py. Sho knew that her pupils loved her,
and that the greater pnrt of the district
were satlnHod, ao she greeted the widow
with ber ploasanteat amlle, and by al
ways being particularly polite, finally
overcame her prejudice to a considerable
extent. .. , '
One afternoon about tha middle of
July, as Mrs. Perkins waa aeated by ber
front window engagod In "stitching
hoos," a very common employment In
somo parts of New England, her atten
tion waa suddenly diverted by a, tall,
atylish-looking young man, who, driving
bla handsome horse and buggy under
the shadow of the apple trees, alighted
and entered Into conversation with . a
group of 111 tie girls wko were taking their
usual recess. Mrs. Perkins curiosity waa
aronsAd, and Kally Ann waa called to
see wbo the stranger waa. Hut for a
wonder Kally Ann didn't know, though
ahe "guessml the boss waa one of tbe
Ksst Chlcopee livery."
"He's talkio' to IJddy Knight," aald
he, at tbe same time holding back tbe
curtain and stepping aside ao aa not to
be visible herself.
Try If you can bear what be aayln',"
whispered Mrs. Perkins; but a clsss of
boys In the acbool house Just then struck
Into the multiplication table, thus effec
tually drowning anything which Sally
Ann might otherwise have beard.-
"I know them children will split tbetr
throats. Can't they bold up a minute,"
eiclalmed Mrs. Perkins, greatly annoyed
at being thua prevented from overhearing
a conversation the nature of which she
could not even guea.
Tbe strancer was at that moment smll-
lugly aaying: "Tell me more about her.
I toes she ever scold, or baa she too
pretty a mouth for. that?".'.
"No, abe never ecobla," aaw ueua
Frost, "and ahe'a got the nicest wbito
tec it), and I guess abe knowa It, too, tot
he shows them a great deal." "
"Khe'a real white, too," rejoined LydU
Knight, "though pa ssys she used to be
trailer aa aaffron."
Here there was a gentle rap upon tne
window, and tbe girls, starting oil, re
claimed ; "There, we must go In."
"May I go, toor ssked the stranger.
followln them to the door. "Introduce
me as Mr. Stuart."
I.ydia had never Introduced anybody in
her life, and, following ber eornpaniona to
her seat, ahe left Mr. Btuart standing In
the doorway. With bef naual polltenesa,
Msrv came forward and received the
atranner. who gave bis name aa Mr. Btu
art. saying "ho felt much Interested In
common achoota, and therefore had ven
tured to call."
Offering tbe Beat of honor, Mary ra
sumil her usual duties, occasionally
casting a look of curiosity at the stranger,
whose eyea seemed constantly upon uer,
It waa rather warm that day, and when
Mary returned from her dinner Widow
Perklna was greatly ahocked at seeing
ber attired In a light pink muslin dreaa,
tbe abort sleeves of which showed to good
advantage her round, white arms. A nar
row velvet , ribbon confined by a email
brooch and a black silk apron, completed
ber toilet, with the exception of a tiny
locket, which was suspended from her
neck by a slender gold chain. Ibia last
ornament Immediately riveted Mr. btu
art's attention, and from some strange
cause sent the color quickly to bia face,
After a time, as if to ascertain whether
It were really a locket or a watch, he sat
ed "if Mlsa Howard could tell him tha
hour?"
"Certainly, air," aald she, and stepping
to tho desk and consulting a silver time
piece about the alxe of a dining plate,
she told him that It waa half-past three,
When school was out Mr. Stuart, who
seemed In no haste whatever, entered In
to a Uvely discussion with Mary concent'
ing scboola and books, adroitly managing
to draw ber out upon all the leading top
lea of the day. At last the conversation
turned upon flowers: and when Mary
chanced to mention Mra. Mason's beauti
ful garden be Instantly expressed a great
desire to see It, and finally offered to ac
company Mary homo, provided abe had
no objections. She could not, of course,
say no, and the Widow Perkina came
very near letting her buttermilk biscuit
burn to a cinder when she saw the young
man walking down the road with Mary,
Arrived at Mra. Mason's, the stranger
managed to make himself so agreeable
that Mra. Mason Invited him to stay to
tea. Whoever bo waa, he seemed to un
derstnnd exactly how to find out what
ever be wlHhed to know; and before tea
waa over he bad lea rued of Mary'a In
tentlon to attend the academy In Wil
braham the next autumn.
Finally he aald good-night, leaving
Mary and Mrs. Mason to wonder the
one what he came there for, and the oth
er whether he would ever come again,
The widow, too, wondered and fidgeted
as the sun went down behind the long
bill.
"It bents all nater what'a kept him ao
long," said she, when he at last appear
ed and, unfastening his horse, drove off
at a furious rate; "but If I live I'll know
all about it to-morrow;" and with this
consolatory remark she returned to the
best room and for the .emalnder of the
evening devoted herself to the entertain
ment of Uncle Jim and his wife, Aunt
Dolly. ' ' ' ' -
That evening Mr. Knight,' who had
been to the postofflce, called at Mra. Ma
aon'a, bringing with him a letter which
bore the Boston postmark. Passing it to
Mary, he winked at Mra. Mason, saying,
"I kinder guess how all this writin'
works will end; but hain't there been a
young chan to see the school?' ;
"Yes; how did you know It?" returned
Mrs. Mason, wniie Mary nusned more
deeply than she did when Billy'a letter
was handed her, , '
"Why, you see," anawered Mr. Knight,
"I was about at tbe foot of the Blanch-
ard bill, when I see a buggy coming like
Jehu. Just aa It got agin me It kinder
slackened and tbe fore wheel ran off
mack and scissors."
"Waa he hurt?" quickly asked Mary.
"Not a bit on't," aald Mr. Knight, "but
ha waa scared some, I guess. I got out
and helped him, and when he heard V

"When did Klla retornf asked Mary,
wbo had not before heard of ber sister's

"I don't know." said Mr. Knight. "Tb
first I see of ber was cnttin' through
the streets on the dead run; hot I mustn't
stay here gabbin', so good-night, Miss
Mason-ood-nlght. Mary-bope you've
got good newa In that ar letter."
Tbe moment he waa gone wary ran np
to ber room to read ber letter, from
which we five tbe following extracts
"You must bare forgotten Ueorge More

to me. I like blin very much, indeed, and
yet I could not help fevflug a little Jealous

books, and baa even offered to nse ma in

of the beat law offlcea In the city."
After reading thia letter Mary sat for
a Ion time thinking of George Moreland
of the time when ahe first knew him
of all that William Bender bad been to
ber since and wondering, aa girls some
times will, which she liked tbe best. Billy

CHAPTER XIL
Tbe aummer waa drawing to a close.
and with It Mary'a school She bad suc
ceeded in giving aatisfaction to the en
tire district. - Mr. Knight, with wiom
Mary waa a great favorite, offered. ber
tbe school for tbe coming winter, but ahe
bad decided upon attending eehool her
aelf, and after modestly declining his of
fer, told him of ber intention.
'But wbere'a the money coming from?"
said be. ....
Mary laughingly asked him how many
bags of ahoea be supposed she bad stitch-
ed during the last two years. - J
"More'n two hundred. 1 11 bet," said he.
"Not quite aa many aa that," answered
Mary 5 "but still I haft managad to earn
my clothea and thirty dollars besides; and
this, together with my acbool wagea, win
pay for one term and part of another."
"Well, go ahead," returned nr. Knignt.
"I'd help you If I could. Go ahead; and
who knowa but you II one day be tne
president's wife."
When Widow Perkins heard that Mary
waa going away to school ahe forgot to
out any yeast In the iresd which she waa
making, and, bidding Sally Ann "watch it
until It rU," she posted off to Mrs. Ma-
eon's to Inquire the particulars, reckoning
op aa she went along how much fourteen
weeka wagea would come to at nine shil
lings per week.
But with all ber qouzing and "pump
ing," aa Judith railed it, ahe waa un
able to ascertain anything of Importance,
and, mentally styling Mrs. Mason, Mary.
Judith and all "great gumpbeads," ahe
returned home and relieved Sally Ann
from her watch over unleavened bread.
Both Mra. Mason and Mary laughed
heartily at the widow's curiosity, though.
aa Mary aald, "It was no laughing mat
ter where the money waa to come from
which ahe needed for her books and cloth
ing."
Everything which Mra. Mason could
do for her ahe did, and even Judith, who
waa never famous for generosity, brought
In one "Saturday morning a half-worn
merino, which aho thought "mebby could
be turned and apongel, and made into
somerbln decent," adiflng, in an under
tone, that "she'd had It out airln' on the
clothes hosa for more'a two hours!"
A few days aftcrwird Jenny Lincoln
came galloping np to the school house
door, declaring her lutention of staying
until school waa out, and having a good
time.
"I hear you are going to Wllbraham,
said ahe, "but I want you to go to Mount

"I wish I could," said Mary, "but I
can't. I haven't money enough, and there
is no one to give it to me.
"It wouldn't hurt , Mrs. Campbell to
heln you a little," returned Jenny. "Why,
