Tea being over, Mr. Stuart arose to
go; and Mary, as she 'accompanied

asking how he liked Mrs. Mason's
garden, which he had lorgotten even
to look at.
Bhishing deepiee he replied, "Isup-

the other ;whether he would ever come

fidgeted as the sun went down behind
the long hill, and still under the ap-

"It beats all nater what's kept him

appeared, and unfastening his horse,
drove off at a furious rate; "but if I

and with this consolatorynemark, she

self to the entertainment of Trude

That evening, Mr. F..nigh o had

Mason's, bringing with Idea a letter
which bore the Boston postmark.
Passing it to Mary, he winked at Mrs.
Mason, saying; "r kinder guess hew

hain't there been a young chap to
see the school?"
"Yes; how did you lmow it?" re-
turned Mrs. Mason, vhie Mary'

some months, , Mrs. Mason, *he had

The roads were erciooth and dry, and
in. a shod tinth they reached the
bridge near the depot. 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

her when she found herself in Mrs.
Campbell's richly -furnished house,
Cooducting Mary into the parlor,
the girl ,departed with her roessage
to Ella, who, tog -ether with the young
lady. whoin Mr. Knight had ityled
"white -eyed pucker," but whose -real
name was "Mize Porter, was dressing
in the chamber above. 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.
"Mr. Knight," repeated Ella; "and
pray, who is. he? I don't beieve he's
on my list of acquaintandes."
"De yen •Mmeinber the man who
-cariied me to the 'Poorhouse?" asked
""Ilush-sh 1" said Ella; glancing
nervously toward the door. "Therg is
o young lady upstairs, and .it ienet
necessary for her to know you'vo. been
a pauper." •
By this time Miss Porter was dress-
ed. 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-

"His mime," returned Mary, "is

"Stuart -Stuart--" repeated Ella;
"I never heard Lizzie 'Upton'or the
Lincolns, mention the Stuarts; but per-

the city. Anyway, this young man is

Here Miss Porter, again booking
down the road, exeleimed, Whore,

Both girls rushed to the 'window;
but Mr. Stuart, was nate there; and,

gravely remarked, that he was prob-

she went out at the front door, meet-
ing "Lizzie Upton, and the rest of

Porter, who acted the part of hostess
while Elia was dressing, was quickly
interrogated by Lizzie Upton, as to
who the young lady WU they met in
the yard.
"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!"
"I know that" answered Tdezie,"
but this meter, here does she live?"
"Oh, in a kind of a heathenish, out-
of-the-way pitmen and teaches school

"Well," returned Lizzie,. "she 18 a

"How can you say so?" exclaimed
three or four eirla an e breath, and
Lizzie replied, "Perhaps she hasn't

replied., "Why, she met Mary Hewer&

"And who is Mary Howard?" asked
Lizzie Upton.
Rose glanced at Ella, who Said:
"Why, she's the girl you „met going
• out of the yard."' • ,
"Oh yes -I know -your sister," re -
'turned Lizzie. "Isn't she to be here?
I have noticed her in .church, and
should like to get acquainted with her.
She has a fine eye and forehead."
e Ella dared not tell Lizzie that Mary
with neither polished nor • refined, so
she answered that "she could not stay
thisafternoon,- as. Mrs. Mason, the
lady With whorn ,she lived was in a
• hurry to go home."
Miss Porter looked up ginekly from I
her embroidery and winked slyly at
Ella in commendation of her false-
hood. Jenny now came bounding in,
her cheeks glowing, and, her eyes
sparkling like diamonds. '
"I'm late, I know," said she; "but
I met Mary in the store and I••never
