moot of the many oolored dishes and
brehert kniVee end forks, neither was
there anything tempting to one's ap-
petite in the coarse, brown bread and
white -looking butter. Mary was vow
tired with holding Alice eo long, and
sinking into a chair near the Window,
she would have cried; but there was a
tightneas in her throat, and a pros.
sure about her head and eyes, which
kept the tears from flowing, She had
felt so once before. 'Twas when. -she
etoed at her withers grave; and now
as the room grew dark, and the ob.
jects around began to turn in circles.
the pressed her hands tightly to her
forehead, and said, "Q, I hope X
Ithan't faint.".,
•"Tr) be sure 701.17O-Ift,l'a said a loud,
harsh veice, and instantly large drops
of water were thrown in her face,
while the same- voice continued: "You
'don't have such spells often, I here),
for Lord knows I don't Want any mere
fitty ones here."
"No, ma'am." said M'a-rr 'Itrultty.";
and looking up she saw before her,a
tall, square -backed, masculine -looking
woman, who wore a very short dress,
and a very high crowned cap, fasten-
ed under her ohin with bows .of sky-
blue ribbon. •
Mary knew she was indebted to this
personage for the shower bath, for the
water was still trickling from her fin-
gers, which were now engaged in pick-
ing,her teeth with a large pine' There
was something exceedingly cross and
forbidding in her looks, and Mary se-
cretly 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 'Aurae% who
came forward and said, "Polly, 1 don't
see any ether way but you'll have to
take these children into the room next
to yourn. The baby worries a good
deal, with such things trouble my
wife, • nowshe's sick."
The person addressed as "Polly"
gave her shoulders an angry jerk,
and sticking 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 r 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."
This 5,6s said with a lowering frown
and movement . toward Mary, who
shrank. back into the corner and.coy.
ered her mouth with her hand, as if
that were the cause of offense.
•"Buyou cau take an extra nap
after dinner," said Mr. Parker, in a
conciliatory manner. "And then you
are so good at managing children that
• I thought they would be better off
near you." This speech, while it mol-
lified Polly, made Mary shudder, as
she thought of Alice's being "man-
aged" by'such a' woman.
But she had no time for thought,
• for Polly. who was very rapid in her
movements and always in a hurry,
said, "Come child, I will show yeu
where you are .going to sleep;"at the
same time' she caught up Alice, who,
not liking her handling, kicked so
vigorously that she was soon drop-
ped; Polly remarking that "She was
• mighty strong in her legs for a sick
baby." „ •
After passing up a dark *stairway
-
they came to a door, which opened
under the garret stairs, and Mary was
startled by a voice Which seemed to
bo almost over her head. and which,
between a sneer arid a hiss, •called
• out, "See where the immaculate Miss
Grundy comes !" •
This was followed by a wild, in-
sane chuckle, which made Mary spring
, in terror to Polly's side. •
"Oh, • .who is' it?" said she. "Is it
Patsy?"' •
"Patsy !" was the tart reply. "She
never is • saucy like that. It's Sal
Furbush." • ,•
•
• Mary longed to ask who Sal Furbush
was;. but as her guide did not seem
at all inclined to be cornmunieative,
.she followed .on• in silence until they
came to a longer and lighter hall, or
"spaceway," as it is frequently call-
ed in New England. • On each' gide of
• this there were doors •opening into
small sleeping -rooms, and into one of
• these' Polly led her companion, say-.
ing, as she did so; "This is your rooms
_and.-iis-a'greHrfVr...to�Wt�b so
near ,me. But mind, that child -must-
n't cry and keep meawake night, for
is she does, maybe you'll have to
move into Wet other space, where
we heard the laugh," •
• -
•
Maty thought she would rather do
anything than that. She also felt a
great curiosity to know who her coria-
panion wasse she at last ventured
to ask, "Do you live here, Miss
Polly?" •

spen now; kind of seeing • to things.
My name isn't Polly. It's Mrs. Mary

to nicknaming me Polly,,but it'll look
More mannerly in you to call inc Mrs.
Grundy; but what am I thinking of?
The folks .muet , have 'their supper.
So you'l better come down now."
"If you please,' 'said 'Mary, who
knew she could not eat 'a mouthful,
"if you please. I'd rather stay here
and rest me if I can have some milk
for Alice by and by.".
"Mercy sakes !,ain't that child wean-
ed?" asked Mr, - Grundy.
. "Ma'am?" said Mary, not exactly
understanding her.
"Ain't Ellis weaned,or must we
break into the cream a dozen timed a
day for her?"
"She has never eaten anything but
milk," said Mary,. weeping to think
how different Mrs. Grundy's manner
*as from her own •dear mother's.
"Wall, there's ne use blubberin' so.
,.If she must have milk, why, she must,
and that's the end on't. But what
I want to know is, how folks as poor
as yourn could afford to buy milk for
so big a child."
Mary could have told of many hun-
gry nights which she and Frank had
passed in order that Ella and Alice
might be fed, but she made no remark, •
and Mrs. Grundy soon left the room
saying, "Come down When you get
ready for the milk. 1 s'pose skim
will do."
Half an hour after Alice began to
Cry; and Mary, knowing she was hun-
gry, laid her upon the bed and start-
ed for the milk. She trembled as she
drew neat the gtirret stairs, and trod
softly that she might not be heard,'
but as she was passing the inviter -
ions door a voice entirely different in
its tones from the one assumed to -
Ward Mrs. Grundy, called out, "Come
here, little dear, sad see your aunty.'

the door, and putting a pint cup two,
thirds full ,of blue milk in Mary'shand, she Hastily shut and fastened
it again. Quick as her movements
were Mary caught a Smell of strong
green tea, and the sight of a sugar
bowl and a slice of white bread. She
knew now why the door was button-
ed, but thhilting it was none of her
business, she started to return to the
kitchen. As she passed the outer door
an old gray-haired man, with a face
perfectly simple and foolieh in its
expression, stepped toward her,
stretching out his hands as if to reach
her. With a loud cry she rushed
headlong into the kitchen, where one
of the women was still sitting.
What s broke loose now?" asked
the woman, to which Mary replied,
"Look at him !" at the same time
pointing to the man, who with his
hands thrust out was still advancing
toward her.
"Don't be scared," said the woman.
"It's .Uncle Peters- Let him touch you
and he'll go, off;" but Mary didn't
choose to be touched, and retreating
toward the chamber door she flew
rapidly up the stairs.
,This time she was not accosted by
any one, but. as she passed the dark
closet she was surprised to hear a
musical voice singing the national air
of her own country, and she wonder-
ed, too, at the taste of the singer in
finishing everyverse with "GO save
Miss Grundy.',
That night Alice, who missed her
cradle, was unusually restless, and

threat, carried herin her arms until
after midnight. Then without un-
dressing she threw herself upon the

Mary; "I don't care where I wash
myself, but Alice is sick, and mother
had me bathe her every morning,
While we were at Mrs. Bender's,
though, I didn't do it, and I don't,
think ,she seems as well.",
I "Pride and poverty," muttered Mrs.
Grundy. "She won't get many baths
here. I cen tell you, nor you either,
'unless it is a dishwater one. Know
how to wash dishes. heyr
"Yes, ma'am," said Mary meekly.
"Then I'll give you, a chance to try
your hand after breakfast; but eomet
I'm in a hurry."
Mary glanced -at Alice. She was
sleeping, sweetly, and though there
seemed to be no reason, she still
lingered.
"What are you waiting for?" asked
Mn. Grundy, and Mary, with some
hesitation, answered, 'I haven't' said
my prayers yet,"
I A change passed suddenly over Mrs.
Grundy's face, and she turned away
without a word. When she Was gone
Mary fell on her knees, and though
the words she uttered were addreased
more to her mother than to God, she
felt comforted; and rising up started
for the kitchen. It was a motley
' group which she • found assembled
around the breakfast table, and as
she entered the room the man call-
ed Uncle Peter smiled on her, say-
ing,' "Come here, little .daughter, and
let me touch you with the fop of my
fourth finger."
Shrinking to nearly. half her usual
eize, site managed to pass him without
coming in contact with said finger,
which was merely a stump, the first
joint having been anaputated. On
reaching the back room she readily
found •the place where she, with all
the rest, was to wash. For this she
did not eare, as the water was as cold
and pure, and seemed as refreshing as
when dipped from her. mother's tin
wash -basin. But when she came to
the wiping part, and tried in vain to
find a clean corner on the long towel,
which hung upon a roller. she felt
that. she was indeed a pauper.
"I should think we might have a
decent towel," thought she. • Mother
used to say it cost nothing to be

the lower book on her dress, which
for a day or two had been uncertain
whether to come off or stay on, now
decided the matter by dropping on
the floor. As she was _proceeding
with her breakfast Uncle Peter, sud-

exelairoed, "Little daughter's teeth

appointed, and bunting into tears
would have risen from the table, had
not the - kind -looking woman said,
"Shame on you, Peteroo plague
little girl."
Uncle Peter, too, who was fond of
children, seemed distressed, and PaSa-
ing toward her the bowl of milk which
was standing by him, he said, "Drink
it, daughter-railk for babes, and
meat for strong men.'
There was so much of real kindness
I in his manner that Mary's fear of
him diminished, and taking the of-
fend milk she thanked him so kindly
that Uncle Peter, who was quite an
orator, considered it his duty to
make. a speech. Pushing back his
chair he commenced, with a bow
which required so many ,changes of
his legs that Mary wondered they
were not -entirely twisted up.
"Ladies and gentlemen, one and,
all," said he, "but particularly la-
dies, what I have to say is this, that
henceforth and forever I am the cham-
• pion of this unprotected female, who
. from parts unknown has come among
us -God bless her ! I will also; an-
nounce formally that I still hold my-
self in readiness to teach the polite
accomplishment of dancing in ray
room, No. 41, Pauper's Hotel." •
Having finished this speech he re-
sumed his breakfast, after which, with
another of his wonderful bows, he
quitted the room. Mary was about
following his example when Mrs. Grun-
dy "said, "Come, etch hold now and
see how spry you can clear the table,
and you, Rind," speaking to a sine.
ple-looking girl with crooked feet, "do
you go to your shoes. Be quick now,
for it's goin' on seven o'clock."
At this moment Mary caught sight
of Mr. Parker, who\ wasstanding just
without the door, and his michievous
look as Mrs. Grundy gave out her or
-
dere made Mary a little suspicious
of that lady's real position among
them. But she had no time for
thought, for just then through all the
closed' doors and. the long hall there
came to her ears the sound. of a
scream. Alice was crying, and in-
stantly dropping the plate ...she held
in her hand, Mary was hurrying away,
• when Mrs. Grundy called her back,
saying, "Let her cry a spell, 'twill
strengthen her lungs." -
Mary had more spirit than her face
indicated, and in her mind she was
revolving the propriety of obeyieg,
when Mr. Parker, who was still stand-
• ing by the door, said, "If that baby is
