After mother had gone to bedT went
rip stairs and-brotiglit down my

I had seen her. She had given me a
little, cold, smiless 'bow. I was 're-
jected.
" Mother," said I that night, "we
must have some one to farm the place.
I am going to some, city."
" Why !" she said.
Td. Make my fortune," I said.
" FOr that girl—the school ma'am?",
a,skecl my mother bitterly.
" No,"•I said ; "never for -her." -

lswered,
But she could not leave her home,
and I went alone. In the frosty ra-bria-
