Widow. Simms heard the remark, and
with it swelling heart turned toward the
boy who sawed Rose Mathees wood,
for she knew who it was, and did not
need the loud whisper of Mrs. Baket

youngest of the three, the one she 1,3Y -

milk of human kindness from turning
quite sour within her breast by his
many acts of filial love, and his gentle,
caressing ways. How could she give

so like his father, dead ere he was

•
Rose Mather's home was a beautiful
place, containing everything Whichlove
could devise, or motey purchase, and
Rose was very happy there, 'dancing
like a sunbeam through the handsome
rooms of which she was the mistress,
and singing as gaily as her pet:can:try
in its gilded cage ley the door. No
shadow of sorrow or cure had ever
erossed her pathway, and the aighteen
meters if lier short life had come and
gone like so many pleasant memories,
•
bringing with them one successive
round of joys, leaving no blight be-
hind, and' bearing with them, alas, no
thanks for the good bestowed, for Rose
was far too 'thoughtless to think thnt

tencletly, might have dealt more harsh-
ly with her. But the shadow Was creep-
