(Onneluded from last week
't Murtha Petah .is failing, she ain't
near so straight as she was," remarked
Mrs. Bennett. " She looks reel bent
over tcaday."
The little wiry springiness vitas, in,
deed, gone from her gait as she crept
slowly along the sweet country road,
and there was a- helpless droop in her
thin Harrow shoulders. ' It was a beau,
tiful spring day ; the fruit trees *ere all
in blossom. There were more orchards
than •houses on the way, and, more
blooming trees to pass than people.
Martha looked up at the ! white
branches as she passed underl them.
" I kin smell the apple-blows'"said she,
but somehow the goodness is all gdne out
on 'em. I'd jest as soon smell :cabbage.
Oh, dear me wiz, kin I ever de them
qnilts over agin ?"
When she got home, however, she
rallied a little. There was a nervous
force about this old woman Which was
not basily overcome, even by an/ accu-
mulation of miefortnnes. She imight
bend a.geod deal, bat she was almost
sure to spring back again. She took off
her hood and shawl, and straightened
herself up. "Thar's no use Puttin' it
off, it's got to be done. I'll hev them
quilts right ef it kills me 1"
She tied on a purple calico apron and
sat down at the window again, With a
• quilt and the scissors Oat canine the
pink roses. There she sat through the
• long afternoon, - cutting the at tches
which she had so laboriously put in -a
little, defiant old figure, its head, with
a flat black lace cap. on it, bobbing up
and down in time with its hands. There
were some purple- bows on the cap, and
they flattered ; quite a little wind blew
in at the window:
The eight day clock on the mantel
ticked peacefully. It was a queer old
time -piece, which had belonged to her
grandmotherPatch. A painting, of a
quaint female with puffed hair and a
bunch of roses adorned the front of it
under the dial plate. It was flank4d on
either side by tall green vases.
There was a dull -colored rag oaret of
Martha's own manufacture on the floor
of the room. ,Soxte wooden chairs stood
around stiffly; an old yellow map of
Massachusetts and a portrait of George
- Washington hang on the walls.' There
was not a speck of -dust anywhere, nor
any disorder. Neatness waseene of the
ehiefest comforts of Martha's life. Put-
ting and keeping things in order was one
of the interest e which enlivened her
dullness and, made the world attractive
ther..
The poor soul sat at the window,
bending over the qailt, till dusk, and -
she sat there bending over the quilt till
dusk many a day after.
It is a hard question to decide whether
there was any real merit in such finely'
strained honesty, or whether it was
merely a case of morbid coneoielationst
nese Perhaps -the old woman, inherit-
ing very likely her father's scruples,
had had them so intensified by age and
childishness that they had become a
little off the 'bias of reason.
Be that as it may, she thought it was
the right course for her to make the
quilts over, and thinking so it was all
that she- could do. . She could never
have been satisfied otherytise. It took
her a considerable time longer to finitih
the quilts, again, and this time she be.
gen to suffer from other causes thin
•mere fatigue. • Her stock of provisions
. commenced to' run low, and her money
,was gene. At last she hadsnothieg but
a few potatoes in the house to eat. . She
• contrived to dig some dandelion greens
once or twice ; these with the potatoes
were all her diet. There wag really no
• necessity for such a state of things ; she
was surrounded, by kindly, welt -to do
people, who would have gone without
• themselves rather than have let her gaf-
fer. But she had always been very reticent
• about her needs, and felt great pride
about accepting anything which she did
not pay for.
But she struggled• along until the
quilts were done, and no one knew. She
set the last stitch quite late one evening ;
then she spread the quilts oat and sur-
•veyed there. " Thar they air now, -all
right," said she ; "the pink roses is in
Mis' Bennet's an' I 'ain't cheated nobody
out on their ealikee, an' I've airned my
money. I'll take 'em hum in -the morn -
in', an' then I'll buy something to eat.
I begin to feel a dreadfulesinkin'. at my
stummuek,"
• She looked up the house carefully -
she always felt a great responsibility
when she had people's work on hand -
and went to be&
Next morning she woke up so faint
and dizzy that she hardly knew hereelf.
She crawled out i:tito the kitchen, and
sank down on the floor. She could not
move another step.
" Lor sakes !" she moaned, " I reckon
I'm 'bout done too !"
The quilts lay near her on the table;
elie stared up at them with feeble aim-
placeney. " Ef I'm goin' to die, I'm
glad. I got them quilts done right fust.
Massey, how sinkin I do feel 1 I wish
I had a cup of tea."
There she lay, and the beautiful spring
morning wore on. The sun shone in at
the window, and moved nearer and
nearer, till filially he lay in a sunbeam,
a •poor, shrivelled, little old woman,
whose resolute spirit had nearly been
her death, in her scant nightgown and
ruffled cap, a little shawl falling from
her shoulders. She did not feel ill, only
absolutely too weak and helpless td
move. Her mind was just as active as
ever, and her -black eyes ,peered sharply
out of her pinched face. She kept mak-
ing efforts to rise, bat she could not star.
• "Lor sakee 1" she snapped out at'
length, " how long hey I got to lay here !
I'm mad!"
She saw some dust on the black paint
'01 a chair which stood in the sun, and
she eyed that distressfully.
" Jest look at that dust en the runs of
that cheer !" she muttered.1 " What if
anybody come in! I wonder if I can't
reach it 1"
The chair was near her, and she
managed to stretch out her limp old
hand and rub the dust off the rounds.
Then she let it sink down, panting.
I wonder ef I ain't goin' to die," she
gasped. " I wonder ef T'rn prepared. I
never took nothin' that shouldn'thelong
to me that I knows on. Ola, dear me
vuz, I wish somebody would come 1"
'When her strained ears- did catch the
sound of footsteps outside, a sudden re-'
solve sprang up in her heart. -
"I won't let on to nobody how I've
made them quilts over, an' how they'll
hed enough to eat -I won't.
'When the door was tried she called
ont feebly, "Who is than ?"
