Instantly re-' getting his thoughtless words, George took her in his arms, and wiping away her • tears said, "Forgive me, Mary. I don't know what inade me say so; for I do love- you dearly, and always will. You have been kind to me e and I shall remember it, and some time, perhaps, repay it," Then put- ting her down, and bidding adieu to Mr.. ancy Mrs, Howard, Frank and Ella, he sprang into his uncle's -car- riage, and was rapidly driven away. , Mary looked after him as long as the heads of the white homes were in sight, and then taking Prank's hand, foil -owed her parentsjo the ho- tel, where for a few days they had determined to stop while Mrs. How- ard made inqfiiries for her sister. Meantime from the richly curtained windows of a. large, handsome build- ing a little girl looked out, impat- iently waiting her father's return, wondering why he was gone so long and if she should like her cousin • George whether he Was a beariela looking fellowswith warty hands, who •would tease her pet kitten and ink the faces of her dolt babies. In the centre of the room the, dinner table -was. standing, • and Ida Belden had twice changed the location • of her cousin's plate, once placing it at her Bide, and lastly putting it directly in • front, so she could have a fair view pf his face. ••"Why don't they come?" she had said for the twentieth time, when the • sound of carriage wheels in the yard 'below made her start hp, and run- ning down stairs she was 'soon shak- ing the hands of her -cousin, whom she decided to be handsome, though She felt Puzzled' to know Whether ha kitten and dolls were in any immedi- ate danger or not! •• • Placing her • arm affectionately .around him, she led him into the parlor, saying, am glad • that you have come to live with me and be my brother. We'll have real nice times, • but perhaps you dislike little girls. you ever see one that you loved?" "Yes, two," was the answer. "My • Ceusizi Ida, and one other," "Oh, :who is she?' asked. Ida. "Tell rite aboutii her.' tION'does she look?Is she pretty?" . • • Instantly, as George had predict- • ed, there caniebefore his :vision the • image. of "a fOrlorn-lepking, salloW- faced child," whom •he did not -care about describing to Ida. She, how- ever, insisted upon a description, and ' that evening when tea was over, the lainpelighted, and Mr. Belden reading • the paper, Gecirge Old her of Mary, who had watched se kindly -over him during- the weary days Of his illness. Contrary to his expectations, she did not laugh at thepicture which he drew of Mary's face, but simply said, "I know I should like her.". Then ;lifter a moment's pause, ihe contin- •ued; "They. are poor, .you say, and Mr. Howard is a music teacher. Men- • sieur DuPres has just left me, -and who knows but papa can get Mr. •Howard to1 fill his place." When the_ subject was referred to her father he said that he 'had liked the appearance of Mr. Howard, and would if possible find him on the morrow and engage his services. The next morning Ida awoke with an un. comfortable impression that thing was was the matter With the weeth- er. Raising herself on her elbow, and -piiehing-baek-the-heavy--curtain-she' looked out and saw that the sky was dark with angry clouds, from which the rain was steadily falling -'-not in &lady showers, but in large round 'drops, which beat against the case- ment and then bounded off upon the pavement below. • All ,thoughts of Mr. 'Howard were timer, wee)* liaeconie"becanse. She was a mind to, but didn't expect to be no- ticed anyway," and who, every time she was addressed, gave a nervous hitch backward with her chair, had finally hitched herself into the hall, where with unbending hack and pure- ed up lips she at, highly indignant at the ill -concealed mirth of the Young girisTwho on the stairs were watching her retrograde movements. The hum of voices increased, until at last there was a great deal more talking; than working. The Unitarian munster's bride, Lily Martin's stepmother, .tha new clerk at Drury's, Dr. Ufa wife+0 new hat and its probable cost, and the city boarders at the hotel, were all duly diecuesedg and then for a time • there_yras wan. silence While Mt. jolinson, president of: the society,. told of the extreme destitution in • whieh she had that morning found ae poor English f amity, who had Moved into the village two or three years before. • They had managed to earn a coin- fortable living until the husband and father, euddenly died, since which time the wife's health had been very rapidly failing, until now she was Tie • longer able to work: but was wholly dependent foil subsistence upon the exertions of her oldest child, Prank, and the charity of the villagers, who sometimes supplied her with far more than was. necessary, and again thoughtlessly neglected her for many days. Her chief dependence, too, had now failed her, for the day beare the sewing saciety Frank had been taken seriously ill with what threatened to be scarlet fever, "Dear me," said the elegant' Mrs, Campbell, smoothing the folds of her rich India muslin -"dear me. I did not know that we had such poet:ley among us. What will they do?" "They'll have to go to th'e poor- house, won't they?"

"She is pretty, I believe?" said Mrs. Campbell, . and Rosa Pond; who sat • by the windoxv, and had not spoken before, immediately, answeied: "Oh, yes, she is perfectly beauti- ful;• and do you .-know, Mrs. Camp- bell, that when .she is dreasecl dean and nice, I think she looks almotit ex- actly like your little Ella!" • A. haughty frown was Mrs. Camp- bell's only answer and Rosa did not ventare another reek although several whispered -re her that they, too, had frequently observed the strong resemblance between Ella How- ard and Ella CamPbell. ' - • Front what has been said, the read- • er will readily, understand that the sick woman in whom Mrs.: 'Johnson was so much interested was our old acquaintance, Mrs...Howard. •-• All inquiries -for her sisters had been fruitless, and after stopping for a time in Worcester, they had re- moved to Chicopee, - where recently Mr. Howard • -bed. .died. Theii only source of maintenance • was thus cut. off, and now they were ,reduced to the utmost poverty. Since we last saw them a sickly baby hadsbeen add- • ed to their number.
