" I've been dis- cretely hemming and scraping and hammer- ing on the wood -work so as not to overhear, and Pd have gone away if I hadn't been afraid of being overheard." " Oh, come in, Lyra," said Annie ; and she hoped that she had kept the spirit of resignation with which she spoke out her voice. Dr. Morrell jumped up with an apparen t desire to escapsethat wounded and exasper- ated her. She pat out her hand quite haughtily to him and asked, " Ola'you must " Yes. How do you do, Mrs. Wilming- ton ? You'd better get Miss Kilburn to give you a cup of her coffee." " Oh, I will," said Lyra. She forbore any reference, even by a look, to the intimate little_situation she had disturbed. Morrell added to Annie : " I like you r plan. It's the[best thing you could do. ' She found she had been keeping his hand, and in the revulsion from wrath to joy she violently wrung it. 'I'm so glad I' She could not help fol- lowing him to the door, in the hope that he would Ray something more, but he did not, and she could. only repeat her. rapturous -gratitude in several forms of incoherency. She ran back to Mrs. Wilmington. " Lyra, what do you think of my taking Mr. Peck's little girl !" Mrs. Wilmington never allowed herself to seem surprised at anything ; shn wae, in fact, surprised at very few things. She had got into the easiest chair in the raom, and she answered from it, with a luxurious in- terest in the affair, " Well, you know what people will say, Annie." " No, I don't. What will they say ?" " That you're after Mr. Peck pretty openly." Annie turned scarlet. " And when they find I'm not ?" she demanded, with severity that had no efrect upon Lyr a. " Then they'll say you couldn't get him." "They may say what they please, What do yon think of the plan ?" " think it would be the greatest bless- ing for the poor little thing," said Lyra,with a neater approach" to serioasness than she usually made. And the greatest care for you," she added, after a moment. " I shall not care for the care. I shall be glad of ite-thankful for it," cried Annie, fervidly. " If you coat get it," Lyra suggested. make Mr. Peck see that it is a duty. I shall ask him to regard it as a charity to me—as a mercy." " Well, that's a good way to work upon Mr. Peck's feelings, ' said Lyra, demurely. " Was that the plan that Dr. Morrell ap- proved of so highly ?" " I didn't know but it was some course of treatment. You pressed his hand so af- fectionately. I said to rnyself,well, Annie's either an enthusiastic patient, or else—" " What ?" demanded Annie, at the little stop Lyra made. s Well, you know what people do say, Annie." " Why, that youfre very much out of health, or—" Lyra made another of her tantalizing stops. " Or Dr. Morrell le very much in love." " Lyra, 1 cate,t allow you to say such things to me." " No ; that's what I've kept saying to myself all the time.- But you would have it out of me? I didn't want to say it." It was impossible to resist Lyra's pre- tended deprecation. Annie laughed. " I suppose I can't help people'sitalking, and I ought to be too old to co.re." You ought, but you're not," said Lyra, flatteringly. " Well, Annie, what do you think of our little evening at Mrs. Mum ger's in the dim retrospect ? Poor Ralph ! What did the doctor say about him ?" She Iiiitened with so keen a relish for the report of Putney's sayings that Annie felt as if she had been turning the affair into comedy for could hear him ! I thought I should have died last night whemhe came back, and be- gan to scare everybody blue with his highly personal remarks. wish he'd had time to get round to the Northwicks." " Lyra," said Annie, nerving herself to the office ; " don't 3 ou think it was wicked ,to treat that poor girl as you did ?" " Well, I suppose that's the way some people might look at it," said Lyra, dila Them how—how could you do it ?" " Oh, it's easy enough to behave wicked- ly, Annie, when you feel like it," said Lyra, much amused by Annie's fervor, apparently. " Besides, I don't know that it was so very wicked. What makes you think it vias ?' " Oh, it wasn't merely. Lyra may I— sister ?' Annie's heart filled with tender- ness for Lyra, with the wish to help her, to save a person who charmed her so much. "'Well, like a step -sister, you may," said Lyra, demurely. " It wasn't for her sake alone that I - hated to see it. It was for your sake—for his Bake." Well, that's very kind of you, Annie," said Lyra, without the least resentment. " And I know what you mealy: Bat it really doesn't hurt either Jack or me.

" There's something in that," Lyra as- sented, with impartiality. " But I don't think it would' be well for Jack to marry yet ; and if I see him taking a fancy, to any real nice girl, I shadn't interfere with him. But I shall be very particular, Annie." She looked at Annie with such a droll mock earnest, and shook her bead with such a burlesque of grandmotherly solicitude, that Annie laughed in spite of herself. "Oh, Lyra, Lyra !" " And as for me," Lyra went on, " I as- sure you I don't care for the little bit of harm it does me." " Bat you ought—you ought !" cried Annie. " You ought to respect yourself enough to care. You ought to respect other women enough." " Oh, I guess I'd let the balance of the sex slide, Annie," said Lyra. all bound togetheri we owe everything to each other." Isn't that rather Peckish ?"

" Well, you'll be glad. to have me go, any- way," said Lyra. She saw Annie shrinking from her, and she took hold of her, and pulled her up and kissed her, " You dear old thing ! I wouldn't hurt your feeling s for the woeld. And whichever it is, Annie, the parson or the doctor, I wish him joy." That afternoon, as Annie was walking to the village, the doctor drove up to the side- walk and stopped near her. " Miss Kil- • burn, I've got a letter from home. They write me about my mother in a way that makes me rather anxious, and I shall run down to Chelsea this evening." hope it's nothing serious. " She's old ; that's the only cause for anxiety. e But of course I must go." " Oh eths, indeed. I do hope you'll find all right•with her." " Thaak you very much. I'm sorry that I must leave Putney at such a time. But I leave him with Mr. Peck, who's promised to he with him. I thought You'd like to know." 1ITRON EXPOSITOR have been unnecessary when he understood it, Annie asked him to let her keep the child, at least till he had settled himself in a house of his own, or, she hinted, in some way more comfortable for Idella than he was now living. In her • anxiety to make him believe that she was not taking too great a burden on her hands,shebecame slowly aware that no fear of this had apparently troubled him, and that he was looking at the whole matter from re point outside of questions of polite ceremonial, even of personal feeling. She was veiled a little with his insensi- bility to the favor she meant the child, and she could not help trying to make him real- ize it. `tI don't promise always to be the best guide, _- philosopher, and friend that Idella could have"—she took this light tone because she found -herself afraid of him— "but I think I shall be a little improvement on some of her friends Over the Track. At least, if she wants inroa ., she shall have it without fighting for it." Mr. Peck looked up with question, and she went on to tell hien of a struggle which she had seen one; day between Idella and a small Irish boy for a kitten ; it really be- longed to the boy, but Idella carried it off. The minister listened attentively. At the end : "Yes," he said, "that lust of possession is something all but impossible, even with constant` hare, to root out - of children. I haue tried to teach Idella that -nothing is rightfully hers- except while she can use it ;-but it is hard to make her under- stand, and when -she is with other children she forgets." Annie could not believe at first that he was serious, and then she was disposedto laugh. "Really, : Mr. Peek," she began, "I cant think it's so important that a little thing like Idella should be kept from covet- ing a kitten as that she should be kept from using naughty words and from acratching and biting." "I know," Mr. Peek consented. " That is the usual way of looking at such things," " It seems to me," said Annie, "that it's the common-sense way." "Perhaps. But upon the whole, I don't agree with you. It is bad for a child to use naughty words and to scratch and bite ; that's part of the warfare in which we all live; but it's worse for her to covet, and to wish to keep others from having." " I don't wonder you find it hard to make her•understand that," Yes, it's hard with all of us. But if it is ever to be easier we must begin with the children." He was silent, and Annie did not say any- thing. She was afraid that she had not helped her cause. " At least," she finally ventured," you can't object to giving Idella a little rest from the fray. Perhaps, if she finds that she can get things without fight= ing for them,she'll not covet them so much." " Yes," he said, with a dim smile that left him: sad again, " there is some truth in that.. But I'm not sure that I have the right to give her advantages of any kind, to lift her `above the lot, the chance, of the least fortunate—" " Surely we are bound to provide for those of our own household ?'' said Annie. " Who are those of our own household ?" asked the minister. " All mankind are those of our own household. These are my mother and my brother and my sister." " Yes, I know," said Annie, somewhat eagerly quitting this difficult ground. "But you can leave her with me at least until you get settled," she faltered, " if you don't wish it to be for longer." " Perhaps it may not be for long," he an- swered, "if you mean my settlement in Hatboro'. I doubt," he continued, lifting his eyes to the question in hers, "whether I shall remain here." "Oh, I hope you will," cried Annie. She thought she must make a pretence of mis understanding him. "Iupposeelyou were very much satisfied with %lour work here." "I am not satisfied with myself in my work," replied the minister ; " and I know that I am far from acceptable to many others in it." " You are acceptable to those who are beat able to appreciate you, Mr. Peck," she protested, "and to people of every kind. I'm sure it's only a question of time when you will be thoroughly acceptable to all, I want you to - understand, Mr. Peck," she added, " that I was shocked and ashamed _ the other night at your being. tricked into countenancing a part of the entertainment you were promised should be dropped. I had nothing to do with it." " It was very unimportant, after all," the minister said, " as far as I was concerned. In fact, I was interested to sere the experi- ment of bringing the different grades of so- eiety together." " It seems to me it was an utter failure," suggested Annie. " Quite. But it was what I expected." There appeared an uneandor in this which Annie could not let pass even if it imperilled her present object to bring up the matter of past contention. " But when we first talk- ed of the Social Union you opposed' it be- cause it wouldn't bring-thedifferent classes together." " Did you understand that ? Then I failed to make myself clear. I wished merely to argue that the well-meaning ladies who suggested it were not intending a social union at all. In fact, such a union in our present condition of things,with its division of classes, is impossible --as Mrs. Munger's experiment showed—with the best will on both sides. But, Os I said, the experiment was interesting, though unimportant, ex- cept as it resulted in heart -burning and offence." They were on the same ground, but they had reached it from starting -points so op- posite that Annie felt it very unsafe. In her fear of getting into some controversy with Mr. Peck that might interfere with her designs regarding Idella, she had a little insincerity in saying : £t Mrs. Mun- ger's bad faith in that was certainly unim- - portant compared with her part in poor Mr. Putney's misfortune. That was the worst thing ; that's what I can't forgive." Mr. Peck offered no comment, and An- nie, somewhat daunted by his, silence, pro- ceeded : "I've the satisfaction of telling her what I thought on both points. But Ralph —Mr. Putney—I hear, has escaped- this time with less than his usual—" Shedid not know what lady -like word to " Yes, I do ; it's very kind of you—very kind indeed." " Thank you," said the doctor. It was not the phrase exactly, but it served the purpose of the cordial interest in which they parted, as well as another. XXL During the days that Mr. Peck had con- sented to leave Idella 1+7ith her, Annie took theewhole charge of tne child, and grew into an iatimacy witb her that was very sweet. It Was not necessary to this that Idella hhould be always tractable and docile which she was not, but only that she should be affectionate and dependent; Annie found that 41113 even liked her to be a little baddish; it gave her something to forgive ; and she experienced a perverse pleasure in discover- ing that the ahild of a man so self -forgetful as Mr. Peck was rather more covetous than most childten. It also amused her that when some of Idella's shabby playmates from Over the Track casually found their way to the woods past Annie s house, and tried to tempt Idella to go with them, the child disowned them, and ran into the house from them ; so soon was she alienated from her former life by her present social advant- ages. She apparently distinguished be- tween Annie and the Boltons, or if not quite this, she showed a distinct preferenee for her company, and for her part of the house. She hung about Annie with a flattering curiosity and interest in all she did. She lost every trace of shyness with her, but de- ,veloped an intense admiration for her in every way—for her dresses her rings, her laces, for the eleganeies tha't marked her a gentlewoman. She pronounced them pret- tier than Mrs. Wtheter's things, and the house prettier and larger. "Should you like to live with me ?" Annie The child seemed to reflect. Then she said, with the indirection of her age and sex, pushing against Annie's knee, " I don't know what your name is ?" " Have you never heard my name? It's Annie. How do you like it ?' "It's—it's too shert," said the child, from her readineas always to answer something that charmed Annie. "Well, then yon can make it longer. You can call'me Aunt Annie. I think that will be better for alittle girl; don't you?" s "Mothers can whip, but aunt's can't," &Lid Idella, bringing a practical knowledge, acquired from her observation of life Over the Track,to a consideration of the proposed relation. " I know one aunt who won't," said Annie, touched by the reply. Saturday evening Idella's father came for here; and with a preamble which seemed to SEPTEMBER 105 1897. use for spree, and -so she sto ed. Mr. Peck merely said, " e has shown great self-control ;" and she perceived that he was not going to say more. He 'listened patiently to the reasons she gave for not having offered Mrs. Putney anything more than passive sympathy at a time when help could only have cumbered and kindness wounded her, but he made no sign of think- ing them either necessary or sufficient. In the mean time he had not formally consent- ed to Idella's remaining with her, and An- nie prepared to lead back to that affair as artfully as she could. ": I really want you to believe, Mr. Peck, that I think very differently on some points from what I did when we first talked about the Social Union, and I have you to thank -kr seeing things in a new light. And you needn't," she added, lightly, " be afraid of my contaminating Idella's mind with any wicked ideas.' Pll do my best to• keep her from coveting kittens or property of any kind ; though I've always heard my father say that civilization was founded upon the instinct of ownership, and that it was the only thing that had advanced the world. And if you dread the danger of giving her advantages, as you say, or bettering her. worldly lot," she continued; with a smile for his quixotic scruples, " why, I'll do my best to reduce her blessings to a minimum ; thopgh I don't see why the poor little thing shouldn't get some good from the inequali- ties that there always must be in the world." "I am not sure there always must be in- equalities in the world," answered the min- ister. " Tliere always have been," cried Annie. " There always had been ,slavery ; up to a certain time," he replied, " Oh, but surely you don't compare the two i" Annie pleaded with what she really regarded as a kind of lunacy in the good man. " In the freest society, I've heard my father say, there is naturally an upward and downward tendency ; a perfect level is impossible. Some Must rise, and some must sink "• " But what de y. Q u mean by rising ? If you mean in materi I things, in wealth, and the power over oth rs that it gives—" " I ; don't mean; that altogether. But there are other ways—in cultivation, refine- ment, ; higher tastes and aims than the great masa of people can have. You have risen yourself, Mr. Peck." " I have risen, as you call it," he said, with a meek sufferance of the application of the point to °himself. `.° Those who rise above the necessity of work for daily bread are in great danger of losing their right re- lation to other men, as I said when we talked of this before." A point had remained in Annie's mind from her first talk with Dr. Morrell. " Yes; and you said once there could be • no sym- pathy between the rich and the poor -no real love— because they had not had the same experience of life. But how is it about the poor who become rich ? They have had the me experience." " Zsao often they make haste to forget that they were poor; they become hard masters to those they have left behind them. ' They are eager to identify themselves with those who have been rich longer than they. Some working -men who now see this clear- ly have the courage to -refuse to rise. Miss Kilburn, why should I let you take my child out of the conditions of self-denial and self-help to which she was born ?'N " I don't know," said Annie, rather blankly. Then she added, impetuously : " Because I love her and want her. I don't—I won't—pretend that it's for her sake. It's for my sake, though I can take better care of her than you can. But I'm all alone in the world -; I've neither kith nor kin ; nothing but my miserable money. I've set my heart on the child ; I must have her. At least let me keep her awhile. I will be honest with you, Mr. Peck. If I, find I'm doing her harm and not good, I'll' give her up. I should wish you to feel that she is yours as much as ever, and if you will feel so,- and often come to nee her .[-I shall—be very glad, and—," she stop- ped, and Mr. Peck rose. " Where is the child ?" he asked, with a troubled air ; and she silently led the way to the kitchen, and left him at the door to Idella and the Boltons. When she ventur- ed back later he was gone, but the child re- mained.. Half= exultant and half ashamed, she promised herself that she really would be true as possible to the odd notions :of the minister in her treatment of his child. When she undressed Idella for bed' she noticed again the shabbiness of her poor little clothes. She went through the bureau that held her own childish things once more, but found them all too large for Idella, and too hopelessly antiquated. She said to herself thaton this point at least she must be a law to herself. She went down to see Mrs. Bolton. " Isn't there some place in the village'where they have children's ready-made clothes for sale ?" she asked. " Mr. Gerrish's," said Mrs. Bolton, briefly. Annie shook her head, drawing in her breath. " I shouldn't want to go there. Is there nowhere else ?" " There's a Jew place. They say he cheats." " I dare s y he doesn't cheat more than most Christians," -said Annie, jumping froni her chair. " I'll try the Jew place. I want you to come with mer Mrs. Bolton." They went together, and found a dress thOt they both decided would fit Idella, and a hat that matched it. - 1t` I don't know as he'd like to have any- thing quite so nice," said Mrs. Bolton, coldly. " I don't know as he has anything to say about it," said Annie, mimicking Mrs. Bolton's accent and syntax. They both meant Mr. Peck. Mrs. Bolton turned away to hide her pleasure in Annie's audieity and extravagance. " Want I should carry 'em ?" she asked, when they were out of the store. " No ; Ican carry them," said Annie. She put them where Idella must see them as soon as she woke. It was late before she slept, and Idella's voice broke upon her dreams. The child was sitting up in her bed, gloating upon the dress and hat hung and perched upon the chair -back in the middle of the room. " Oh whose is it ? Whose is it ? Whose is it 2" she screamed ; and as Annie lifted herself on her elbow, and looked over at her : " Is it mine ? Is it mine ?" Annie had thought of playing some joke ; of pretending not to understand ; of delay- ing the child's pleasure ; playing with it ; teasing. But in the face of this rapturous longing, she could only answer, " Yes." " Mine ? My very own ? To have ? To keep always ?" 4 Yes" Idella sprang from her bed, and flew up- on the things .with a primitive, greedy transport in their possession. She could scarcely be held long enough to be washed before the dress could be put on. " Be careful—be careful not to get it soiled, now," said Annie. " No ; I won't spoil it." She went qui- etly down stairs, and when Annie followed, she found her posing before the long pier- glass. in the parlor, and twisting and twirl- ing for this effect and that. All the morn- ing she moved about prim and anxious ; the wild -wood flower was like a hot -house blos- som wired for a bouquet. At the church door Annie asked her, " Would you rather sit with Mrs. Bolton ?" " No, no," grasped the child, intensely ; " with you !" and she pushed her hand into Annie's and held fast to it. Annie's question had been suggested by a belated. reluctance to appear before so !Mich of Hatboro' in charge of the Minister's child. But now she could not retreat, and with Throat lined with Ulcers A Young Lady Cured of Long Standing Catarrh and Ca- tarrhal Sore Throat by Dr. Chase's Catarrh Cure. Alias Anna A. tiowey, of Eden, Ont., says that she suffered from catarrh for t4u years. used a number of remedies advertised, but was always disappointed in the result. Last fall she suffered intense pain in 14) head and her throat was lined with :ulcers. The doctors called it Catarrhal gore Throat, but did not oure it. She saw that Dr. Chase's Catarrh Cure was being highly recommended, so .progured a Atm from C. Thomson, druggist, Tilson- burg, Ont., and commenced its nse. Soon the ulcers ()leered away from her throat, the pain in her head ceased. She says that Dr. Chase's Catarrh Cure does not cause distress or sneezing when being used, and is the most effective catarrh remedy she ever tried. Mr. J. D. Phillips, a Justice of the Peace, declares that he knows Miss Howey and her mother, and can vouch for the truthfulness of her statements. Dr. Char*, Catarrh Cure, sokl by all Dealers.
