CHAPTER VI. -(continued.) Hope had besn made so welcome,' and .was so unconsciousTof any 'supposable barrier be- tween herself -and any one present -though z the only ,mill girl in the room -that she was herself ,from the first. The most serupulous observer could not find fanit withher dress• Very plain, it was yet very becoming, with delicate lace frills at throat and wads, and light blue ribbon on her bosom, matchin the bow set daintily in her curls. "A beautiful child," remarked the gentile - man sagely, to her teacher, Miss as she floated past, her light laugh , ringing out clear as a bird's song and quite as musical. She did not piny. 1 The color brfghtened her cheeks as she confessed this, Yes ; she sang quite well, she admitted naively ; at least, Esther thinkaso. And no one present doubted Esther'.9ability to judge, after hearing her once. Esther must be this sister, thought Mr. Campbell. So he said inquiringly a few minutes after, as they etooc.1 side by side, "You have a queen. in- your family, -.1iss Ertts ?" She started. "Who? Oh, Esther, you mean: ?" 'catching his smile. " Thatia what Old Pansy calls her: Yes, indeed 1 . If any loyal heart has right to royal crown, our Esther has." He smiled at her enthusiasm. "1 should like to see your Esther," he said. A "Yes; I wish you miklit. I tried to mak her come in MY place, but she wonld no She likes her quiet evenings, she says, bu that only means that she knows I like a ga one occasionally." "And you could not both come ?" th faintest shade of questioning in -his voice. " No ; not yet. I hope we can .soine day. She hesitated. He was glancing over he dress -the ,well -fitting glove, the daint ruffle, the fine handkerchief. No sigri o painful poverty here. She caught his eye. Had he gueseed he secret ? She bluahed violently. - His face grew crimson as well; he feare he had been rude. "Pardon me, Miss Ertts, lam an adrnir er of everything beautiful," he said, in hal confusion. She laughed: "You were not admiring the beautifu then," she said," but this poor old dress,th cause of all our trials and moitification." Frank, truly ! what could he say but t return as frankly : "It seems neither old no poor. Neithe can I imagine how anything so becoming can be a source of trial or tnortification." " Not if there is only one • to. cover tw persons ?" she asked quickly. Then crim soning, "0, Mr. Campbell, excuse me What will my sister think ! I disgrace he continually. There, that is the door -bell It 'must be Esther coming for me "PleaSe forget- all I have said, and don' judge my sister by what you find me." "1 shall never judge either of you harsh- ly," he replied. "Shall I see you at church to -morrow?" She flushed, and again he felt his .subjec unfortunate,but Lulu Young just then Cam to the rescue. She heard the gentleman' question, and after announcing Esther's ar rival, said : "Do come, Miss Hope ! Mr. Campbel preaches for papa; you will -wish to hea him:" Mr. Campbell a minister, and she talking to him in this way ! She crimsoned to the roots of her hair. ‘i I cannot promise. I think Esther wilt eso. I must not keep her waiting now," she said. Then turning back, that ,he might, speak to the gentleman unheard : " ("rood -night, Mr. Campbell 1 Yeur pro- fession ineulcates compassion for unfortun- ates and fools. I claim the clemency extend- ed to thern." And she disappeared after Miss Young, before he could reply, "That i her sister,"said Lulu as she join- ed Mr. Campbell,after escorting Hope to the door. "She introduced me to her, and she has just the sweetest voice ! They have no one sick, for I asked her, and she said Oh, no,' so prettily. What can it be,Mr. Camp- bell, can you guess ?" The young man was sure he could, but he did not say so. "He is just too good-lopking altogether for a minister," Hope was eaying about th s time. "It wouldn't do me the least bit f good to listen to his preaching. I shouldn't knowa word he said ; I should just be a miring his face. Such naen have no busine s in the pulpit. They don't present Chris but themselves ; they can't, help it. Beside I shall never want to look in his face agairE Just think of might as well confess - 1 told him why ,you were net there. He knows we have only one drese.'? And Hope dropped a 'tear or two of mortification iu spite of Esther's assurance that there was no harm done ;-,that be would 'never speak of it, and no sensible person would think lees of them on that account, if he did. L 1 1 CHAPTER VII. WHENCE COMES THIS! • Christmas drew near. Uncle Howard's flannels were packed neatly into.a box, to- gether with a pair of bootwfor Achor, a red petticoat, and a dark stuff dress, with a lace collar and a crimson ribbon pinned to ite front. There was a handkerchief 'for Jennie, lest she should feel forgotten, and a couple of dinner bibs for Willie. Above this box Hope still havered, adding a pat here and there, when Miss Spinkham ar- rived. She had with her a number of small par- cels containing nuts and candies, and one, larger than the others, from which dropped two pretty little aprons, over which Hope exclaimed, while Independence explained that they were for "that little thing with the outlandish name, who, she ahould think would imagine herself a heathen and forget to say her prayers." "Achor is a Bible name," said Hope /aughing. " Don't tell me," was the stiff reply. "It's no more Christmas than Independence is Fourth of July. The Bible may mention it. I can't, say how that is, but that doesn't make it Christian. Howsornever, I expect she can eat candy." "You blessed old porcupine,: of course She can. How real good you are Pansy !" Good ! tut, whatuonsense ! Everybody wants to buy somethipg for somebody, Christmas time, and ef they haven't any one themselves, they have to borry. Esther, where's that paper I lent you last week? I came mostly for that." "You delicious chesnut-bur ! Don't think I 'shall believe there is no meat inside be- cause of your roughness," said Hope. "1 am going to kiss you for Ciristmas, so sub- mit gracefully." . And Mies Spinkharn submitted as if it was not very hard work, though gracefulness was out of the question. The box Was gone, and Hope wished she might be behind the door on its arrival, and note its reception, wondering what Jennie would think, longing for a letter. And the Christmas Eve came, and, in that black dress again, she weet to the church -tree, because Esther would not, declaring herself too tired to enjoy anything. - Hope did not expect a single gift, but she received several. A book from Mies T--; a beautiful handkerchief -box containing a half-dozen fine handkerchiefs, and a Christ- mas card with her name written daintily in the corner, rich with the perfume of violets, suggestive of Lulu Young.

So on t e way home she stopped. to purchase a warm nubia, a pair of mittens,a, collar, a half -c ozen oranges and a chicken, bursting into tlat house like a tornado, Eether declared. But here the greatest surprise awaited her. The expressman had 'left parcel from C--, marked "Miss Esther Ertts'" and it containedand hate Esther paused, that Hope might guess. But Hope had not the fain at suspicion of its contents, and guessed so wide of the truth that Esther, laughing brought it forth for inspection. It was a ress pattern of very fine material; with lin ng, buttons, silk, etc. Who could have se t it? Each girl looked into the other's fa e and shook her head in wonderment. " It never came from Jenm ; she could not raise so much money," obj cted Esther. "Nor Hiram ; he would no have bought such material," continued Ho e. " Some- body not a bit stingy, m Tri le E-,_ such fine soft goods, and abun anc of trim- mings." It was no nee to surmise.

The letter came. It was ull Of thanks for the presents received, the jwriteriament. ing her inability to return th nompliment. All suspicion that Jennie was the donor of the dress was thus removed. "Uncle Howard was so proud of his underwear;" wrote Jennie. "He passed his hands over the flannel, as much pleased at the bright color as Willie was at his pink bibs. But Achor--I never eau, such a child! _She stood watching as one thing after an- other was brought out, with a face fujl of such contending emotions that I could; not tell whether joy or sorrow prodominated. " She stnoothed the folds of her dress in her dainty way, and ldoked carefnlly over every,erticle awl. laid it' by her side, et when I looked up her eyes were full of tears. " Why, Aeher !" I said; 14 are you not pleased With your gifts ?" !Queer child ! Beautiful ! beautiful !' she cried, stooping andkissing them passionately.

Efficient, exegeti al expert as you are, does it not puzzle you? .What makes Achor so different from other child- ren ?" - "God," answered Esther,in an awe-struck tone. "Hope, I tell you she is one of His peculiar ones. As much above ordinary natures as we can well imagine. Her soul outruns her leedy. She knows instinctively what coarser natures never gue s. She is a little poet -an artist. She was born with enough in herself to compensate for loss of all else -mother, father, name. It is God's way of making restitution." Hope was still a moment. "Then, look- ing at the letter, "Achor N--;' what does N stand for, Esther? I did not know she had a middle name." "She hasn't, unless shehas added it her. It is only lately she signs herself thus. Pitcher's Casterian - One of heit notions. The dress did not come from the f rmhouse, Hope." . Who iares where it came from, so that it is here ?1' said Hope. "That is the main fact -the inost interesting to me. How will you have it made, Esther ?" "1 will not have it made," was the quiet reply. " Why,Etts ! What do you mean ?" cried Hope. " That I would rather have no dress than be under obligations td some person for it. Your suggestion haunts me, Hope. I am tempted to send it back to 0—,to Oliver," answered Esther. But Hope pleaded : Since you -do not know he sent it, Es- ther, it would be very foolish. To have it so near and lose it now ! Give it to me." So Hope had the new dress. It was destined tole -a hard winter for the sisters. Hope took cold about Christmas time, and a sore throat ensued. It seemed a slight attack at first, yet lingered painful- ly, and she lost strength until one morning she could not rise as usual. Esther was troubled. She could not well leave her sister alone, yet how could they both be idle? Duty is duty, however, and for a few days she stayed by Hope's bed- side ; then she was able to rise, and though still weak, care for herself. Esther kissed her repeatedly that morning before starting to work, and came back after she had passed_tbe length of a block, to in- quire if she was quite Mire she could get along alone. Hopei laughed at her fears. "My enduring, energetic, experienced sister, iny Triple E, thinks I am only a baby. But she will find I am equal to this obeasion," she said, and Esther turned away riassured. r Yet she worried a little al I day, and was hurrying home with impati nt steps, when a slight figure done up in a p aid shawl, inter- cepted her progress. T vo bright eyes scanned her face fearfully, nd a sweet voice with a foreign accent, aske : Is Mees Hope too sick, Mees ?" Esther came to a standst 11 suddenly. "0 Nina -Miss Nestor 1 You wish to inquite for Hope? No • she is better • getting well I think. Will you not go home with me and make her a call ? She will be so glad to see you." The girl gave her a smile, rich and full. It took Esther back to a little face that used to blossom to just such beauty beneath a sudden joy. "Here comes the Triple E -the Enter-, taining, Enchanting, Egotistical !" eried Hope from the inner roma as the outer door opened. "Esther, I am alive." It had been a lonesome day for the thild, but she didtet intend that Esther should know that. Why, Nina Nestor,you little darling with a glad cry as the girl followed Esther into the room. "How kind of you to come and see me ! Such a treat, after being alone all day !" While Hope chatted with her friend, Es- ther slipped quietly away to set the table for three. "Please de not disappoint us," she said seeing refusal written on Nina's face. And . perceiving it would be a pleasure to the sis- ters, it became a pleasure to Nina to remain. Yet she hurried away when the simple meal was over. "Ledl will wonder -fear -want me," she said in excuse. "1 so thank you," to Es- ther, who replied, " Your presence has added so much to the relish of the meal, that I think we owe you thanks. Please come again, dear." The girl looked up gratefully, and for answer, pressed her lips to Esther's hand and turned away. "Mees Hope one morning-glory • one bird's sang; her seester one garden of herbs; one Te Deum," she murmured as she haat- ened along. " I feel I've been in the cathe- dral • in the holy place." "You look so tired Hope was saying to her sister, who, having closed the door after Nina, sat down with a little sigh. "1 am a little tired," admitted_ Esther. But how very tired she was,she dared not admit event° herself. Her head had such a trick of aching these days. She was nearly worn out by constant work and se,w- ing for her uncle and Achor before Hope was taken sick; and days and nights of watching had not improved her condition. Long after Hope slept that night she battled the demon of unrest. She should certainly be sick if she could not sleep ; she must be able to work to -morrow. But anxiety never induces slumber. She lay awake until the rising -bell warned her that another day of toil was begun. ..She was off to work before Hope awoke, bat the day passed wearily, and her sister was alarmed at her appearance that night. "Esther, you look really sick." " Nonsense. I am only a little tired." "But your lips are bloodless and you are so pale 1 If you should be siek, Es- ther ?" "1 will not be," replied Esther brave- ly. "Imagine such an earnest, enduring, enterprising Triple E. getting sick ! I am aitouished ! Hope must not be discourag- ing." Hope was better, but still weak and languid. Esther would not hear of her entering the mill for another week. She was well enough to assume alh the household duties, however, and that lifted quite a burden from Esther. Ie was a trying month, that month after Christmas. This anxiety to furnish all the things needed for their box, had compelled them to shorten their usual allowance for home expenses, and; Hope's illness had called for increased expenditures. It was a struggle to live, yet Esther was deter- mined not to break her rule of life by going nto debt. "There is nothing in this house in the hape of proeiaions, except a little flour, a ew beans, and a small piece of pork, and it s yet a whole week horn pay day," said Hope, 'intercepting Esther on her way to the oor, one Saturday morhing. "1 let you at your brerekfast without acquainting you ith the facts, fearing your appetite might e impaired otherwise. "1 know all about it, dear." " Well, what shall I do ?" " Bake the beans, make a little bread,and rust," was the reply. "Esther, I believe in baked beans and read for hungry people, but isn't the other ust a little unsubstantial ? Especially when he appetite is good." " Why, -Hope !" "'Why, Esther ! The food will not last ver to-morro ,,r, and you forget that my ap- etiteeis wonderfully increased by the rest haw had." "Sufficient unto the day," quoted Es- ther. " Not applicable," answered Hope. "-The day is here. The qualtiOn what we shall do if-" , --" Eat what we have, thankfully. When that is gone if there is no more provided, throw up the old promisee which have failed us, and go searching for new gods." " Esther E. Ertts 11' Hope looked sh,o,cTked. hat is what your reasoning leads to, little sister. There is atheism in you 'if.' There are no if's to those who trust in God. Now for a kiss, ler I must go." • The next day was Sabbath. Hope set the table. Her little pot of smoking beane smelled -appetizing ; her bread was light; there was a little butter. "It looks so good," Hope said. "And smells better,'. Esther added. "Let us give thanks," an1 they bowed their heads. These Sabbaths were h ppy days. They could attend church toge her now. After the afternoon service, the had their second meal. " Xisther, lie down on the lounge and N %PI".

"Perhaps not," replied Esther. "Christ'a, fragments mean a great deal. When the five thousand were fed it was besides women and children,and they did all eat and were filled. Not only the weakly ones, but the hearty men were satisfied, Hope, and only five loaves and two fishes to begin with. We are his care as fully, more fully his care, than that motley crowd. It is a libel on his love , and liberality to fear that He will let us stiffer." 4s Esther undid her braids that night, keparatory to going to rest, a knock came on the outside door. Hope went to open it, wendering who it could be. It was a young girl who greeted her with a cheery- '" Good evening, Hope 1" - " Why, Sarah Philips ! is it you? Will you come in ?" , " Just a minute. I can't stop long. But aa we went up the cross street, 1 saw the light in your side window and remembered I Owed Esther fifty cents.

"Not to -night; I have company. Some other time, if you will let me. How sweet you are 1 This room is just like Esther. Tell her I left my love," and she said good -night, and Hope locked the door and walked sober- ly into the next room. "Who was it, Hope ?" "Sarah Philips." , "And did she not come in ?" "Only for a moment. She said some one was waiting for her, and I caught a glimpse of a masculine form ab the street corner." " Poor Sarah !" sighed Esther. "She is good-hearted, but weak and vain. I fear for her. Independence says that Dartmouth Weymouth who attended ker last fall, is an unmitigated rascal." "Nonsense ! I don't believe it," replied Hope sharply. "Independence is an old goose.

",Why, Elope 1" Esther was sorely sur- prised. " Idid not know you had ever met Mr. Weymouth." "1 have seen him," replied Hope, blush- ing cosily. "He is quite handsome enough to remember. I do not go about with my eyes shut," shaking her head with a little laugh at Esther'a, troubled face. " See, Sarah left this for you ;" and she placed the silver in her sister's hand. " She says she borrowed it some time ago." "How opportune! Mope, I told you. Re- member our Sufficient unto the day' verse. This will purchase a breakfast." Tears came to Hope'a eyes. "You are good, Esther, and God remembers me fer your sake. Keep on praying; I need your prayers. Who knows but he will answer them, and make me more like you?" The fifty cents was not gone before more came. That Monday morning one of the girls asked Ether to mend a rent inade in a new dress the day before. Esther's cleverness with her needle brought her tetany little jobs. There was a hat to trim this week i • after the hat, two large aprons to make. Saturda,y found them anything but hungry, and Esther!shook her money in Hope's face as she repeated- " Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof." (To be continued.) • Ryckman's Kootenay Cure. G.

Stanley and the Cat. According to a writer in the 'Ladies' Kennel Journal,' there is a cat story con- nected with the name of Mr. Henry M. Stanley. When the African traveller was writing his book entitled Through ,the Dark Continent,' he was living in Sackrille street, and. used often, from want of a flat surface to Spread his maps and charts upon the floor, and one day the cat of the house, which had taken an extraordinary liking for the greet explorer and passed most of her time in his rooms, went to eleep on the chart that was spread out on the hearth rug. By-and-by the chart was wanted, and one of Stanley's assistants was going to turn puss off it, when 'the man who found Livingstone' stopped him. 'Don't disturb the cat,' he 'said; 'we can get on without the chart till she wakes up. If you only knew how good the sight of that English cat, cosily curled up in front of that fire, is to me, you would never let her move from where she is.' The great traveller had just coine back from a weary and trying time among uncivilized tribes, and among wild and rough surroundings the very opposite of refined and cultivated England, and the sleeping cat, resting so comfortably before the hearth, was to him the symbol of comfortable secur3y,nf peace, and of home. So pulse slept on and finished her nap, all unconscious of the pleasure the sight of her comfortable figure afforded to the travel -wearied explorer on whose property she wa.s so unceremoniously tres- passing.
