1 • aged at home, this favor having
been accorded to me in consideration of
e y t,ein of the cleverest hands
and bee: designers, and als., because my
gmotbrr was delicate and often required
ley attention.
Thus the "twenties passed, and the
lost of the "th:ntrs , teat • great
change came -my dear mother died.
My sister wrote, asking me to go out and
e ters her Indian bo.:ne ; bait 1 declined.
1 had guy painting, and I still had the
prodetge of sur.& at home ; therefore I
preferred independence and antidote in
the old cottage In the quiet street with
one domestic. Thos the years passed
tail satiny decreed me an old maid.
'its iv rat of It was that I did not feel
like an oil maid ; nor -so my mirror
told ale -did I look Ilk• one. I looked
better at t!titty-si . than 1 had looked
nearly a decade and a half earlier ; no
stranger w inld have supposed that I had
paved that period which seems to be
drs tied by w many w,'men-the tweoty-

of Iifv-.,r rateer I had a teethe as if I

not because ray taste wen becoming less
fresh or my style oisae'opintg into man-

morning received a note from the head

order had been received from the Duke
of Largelands, and :,, no one would they

and ;ust as rhe returned home the peet-
man gave her the later which was to
work me wee and to turn my hour of re
voicing into one of reptuing acid bitter-
ness of soul.
The letter was fr.m my niece Minnie,
and encl'rsed her pboro,grapll. 1 heard

and 1 also heard .occasionally from her
daughter Minnie, who had been in
Eagiand nearly three years, iu order to

wee in vee ; the dys passed away with-
out any further letter until the 23rd of
July, when • telegram arrived from one
of the grovelmss.e of Mies /tryout's semi
nary, telling me that Minnie had started
for Soailcbsaler, and would arrive by
the trine that reached that place at 5:30
p e.
All bops was over, so I took a filial
look' mood the room set apart for Miu-
nie, the preparation of which had occu-
pied mese of my waktsg and many of
what should have been my sleeping
hours for the past week, My bowie wss
plain, and she was not, and my means
were small ; but my table was artistic.
so I had made the nom as pretty as I
could, and I hoped she world out des
pan it. There was a bedstead with
white curtains ; the room had • window
overlooking • breezy upland ; cut dow-
n in Print!' glass vases brightened up
odd corners : a little book -shelf ante •
few tempting volumes was placed within
easy reach of the bed. Really, so for as
I could sen. 1 had dose everything I
000ld for Minnie in that part of the
home. Theo I visited the kitchen and
saw that the nice little dinner that I had
projected -for it we not fashionable
to welcome a visitor with tans -was in •
forward stst. ; and then I pot on my
things and started for the station -in
geed time, as I thought.
Whets I arrived at the station, how-
ever, I found that my clock was slow.
and that I was only • minute ted • half
taro Moon ; so I betook myself to the pro-
per platfurm and walked up and down
several times, watching for the curling
wreath of Maine which I expected every
natant to se in the distance. The
minute and a half went by, and so did
three minutes ; then six, twelve, twenty-
eight, forty-eight. I began to grew
anxious, and, looking at the porters and
on the platforms -then were none on
mine, which was quite out of the station
-I observed that they too seemed to be
very sexless and preoccupied ; however,
I determined to show no trepidation. and
with a very business -like air I went
across to ose of them and asked when
the 3:30 eepr..s would be in. Never
shall I forget his look, his manner, his
voice as he blurted out -
"Th. 6:30 express, ma'am ! Duau't ye
know she has been wrecked beyond Els-
town 1 A bridge brokeduwo. We have
sent off a relief, and are expecting ber in
every minute'nuw."
I think that was what he said -I
think ; but I du not know -it was all so
awful. Here had I every day for a week
been hoping something would occur to
prevent Mionie's arrival ; I had that very
morning, when I received the telegram,
said, with • sigh, "Ah, well, nothing
can prevent it now'" It was prevented,
and, oh, how terribly ' I sank down
upon • barrow by which 1 was standing.
and covered my face with my hands,
overwhelmed with sorrow, remorse, and
anguish. To think of Minnie, that hand -
setae, splendid girl -to think of her
crushed to death amid all the horrors of
• railway accident, and to think too that
I, in my selfishness, nut wishing to ap-
pear so very much an old maid, had
been hoping something might prevent
ber coming to Snailchester ' I had not
waked this however -oh, not this -it
was too awful !
"Plwe'es, get up -we want the bar-
row. The train's a -cumin' is."
"Train s What trate !"
"The train that was sent to Elatown
when the news of the accident came. It
be a-bringin' of them as wasn't injured
and them as isn't much.
My spirit too utterly broken, I could
set speak even one word in reply. Oh,
if 1 had only wished for Menne to 000e,
bee different 1 should have felt now ! I
bad no hope for her ; I scarcely sego
dared to wish that she might be among
Inc.. who were not fatally injured. 1
rose from the barrow, intending to make
ray way to the station -master to ask him
whether I might make one of the sad
party who were going to iodentify the
dead.
I saw the bright lights of the engine
Hash sound • curve ; there was a slack-
ening of 'peed, a. rolling and grating
noise, and the train had entered the
station. Motionless I stood beneath a
lamp ; then, with a sudden. quick cry, I
rushed forward. I saw Minnie step out
of a carriage. 1 knew her at ono. -the
tight -fitting drew, the round hat. the
stylish benne, the beautiful face. I had
net been punished for in wickedness !
"Minnie - oh, my darling. darling
Minnie !" To the end of my life F shall
remember the words I altered as 1 clasp-
ed her in my arms.
"Heaven •lnne knows bow I welcome
you ! t)h. my dear, any dear." -and
tears rolled down my cheek&
Minnie was weeping too.
"Dear auntie ! Oh, wasn't it awful I"
she whispered, as with • struggle she re-
gained her onmpwore. "1 hardly dare
think of it yet. Some day perhaps I
may be able to speak freely of it, bat
not yet. Oh, you don't bare how
nearly all was over with IN ! Bet for

quiet earnest ease of • pair of dark-

heard that the purchaser had "retired,'
and had therefore thought of him as

me take another 1e ck at the man who was
so happy es to call Yerndale bis uwn.

words of Salomon, "One loan sesoog •

he might call next day and ask after
Mionte-a request which, it is perhaps

Some faces of women are grand and

like this that is very enraging is the
