The day lolloWieg Mr. Stuart's Vita *se Saturday, etnid as there Was no sehool Mary (leaded to call upon her sister, whom he had not seen for some months, , Mrs. Mason, *he had eome shopping to do in the village, offered to. accompany her and about two in the 'afternoon they Bete eot- ward in Mr. Knight's covered buggy.'

A train of cars, ' hound fel` Beaton was just go- ing out, andfrom oirie of the witicldws Mr. Stuart was looking, and waving his hand toward Mary, who bowed in token of reeognition. The sight and sound of the tare made "old Charlotte," Whom Mrs, Mason was driving, prick up her ears and leek too, and in a few moments she carried her load to the village. Leaving Mrs. Magoo at the store, Mary proceeded at once to Mrs. Camp- bell's. She rang the door bell a lite the timidly, for tthelast time she stew her sister she h beentreated With so 11111011. whines that she new felt some satiety wittit regard to the,re- caption she was likely to Meet.

The door of the INGOM was OPPIA, and from her Peel - UM. Mary could hear distinctly every word which was uttered. ' "Mies Ella," said the girl, "Your glister is in the puler, and wants to aee you." "My aster:" repeated Ella, "oh, fen hone What brought her here to -day? Wht. didn't you tell her 1 wasn't at home?" "I never told a lie in ray life," an- swered the honest' servant girl, while Miss Porter in unfeigned surprise said, "Yew slater! I didn't know you had one. Why doesn't she live at homer' . Concealment was nb longer possi- ble, and in a half -vexed, half -laugh- ing tone, Ella replied, "Why, 1 thought , you knew that I was an orphan who& Mrs, •Canepbell adopted years ago." "You an orphan!" returned Miss Porter, "Well, if I ever! 'Who adopt- ed your ,sister?" "A poor woman in the country,," was Ella's 'answer. Miss Porter, who was a notorious flatterer, replied, "I must see her, for if she is anything like you I shall „love her instantly." "Oh, she isn't like me," said Ella, with a curl of her lip. "She's smart enough, I suppose, but she hasn't a bit of polish or refinernen:t. She does- n't come here. often, and when she (thee Lain always in a fidget, for fear some of the city girls will call, and she'll de something °utile" • "I guess, then, I won't ge, down, at least not till I'm dressed,'" answer - 'ed Mies' Porter; and Ella, throwing- on- a dressing gown descended to the , parlor, where she met her sister with the en& of her fingers, and a simple, "Ah. Mary, how do ye do? Are you well?" • After several commonplace. reinarks Ella, at last asked, "How did you 'Mow I was at homer" : "Mr. Knight told me," said Mary.

She .was very fOnd -of, display, and wishing to astonish the "country giere'. with her silks and satins, came rustling into the pailor, e "My sister," said Ella carelessly. Miss Porter nodded, and then throw- ing herself languidly upon the sofa, • looked down the street, as if expect- ing some doe.

"That's Ella Campbell's sister," said' , said' Miss Porter. Then lowering her voice to a whisper, she continued, "Don't you believe, Elle isn't Campbell's own *daughter, but all adopted one!"
