- Her name used to be Mary 'Ann, just
plaint Mary Ann Connera, When she -was
• a chatty child, but he; father and
' mother died and left her without a
stitch; you know,. and the minister took
her; took her to wait on the babies—
there was a swarm of 'em—and ran the
errands, and be useful; and it endecliby
- his finding her too smart to waste, and
eit- sent her to school. And then a fine
• lady,:one of the, summer boarders, took
a fanfey to Making a teacher ofher ; and
: there she was at last, eighteen years
old, pretty as a peach, graduated from a
. flrst-elass seminary, with allabrts of fine
manners, and signing her name Marian
. Conyers. I can tell you, when Jo heard
of it; he laughed -one of those mat
laugh"; of his that mike you feel the
•world's a good- place tolive in. Well,
she come back to our place to be head of
the aeademy, and the minister took her
to board for a spell,' and the doctor took
• her iitow, and one and another, is the
teach! r was always boarded round in our
place:; and bye and byeshe come to tuf;
And if she give the rest of 'ern the
same : doses of English grammar that
she give us, they had a sweet time
of it.,
Well, you can guess that by the time
I knew she was coming to us I was
pretty- well scared Of her. There was
nothing, they said, she didn't know '. she
could tell when there was going to be an
eclipse a; true as the almanac, she spoke
in Greek when . she was too excited for
• Englieh, and as, for French, she talked
them ell beautifully. There wasnothing
she didn't do beautifully. Such -embroid-
ery 1 It seemed_ as if the flowers in all
• the colors that flowers blow were just
throwed on the silk, and others all white
on linen, like'. the frost flowers on the
nh—it would make you think of the,
hangings of the tabernacle. . And then
the books she read ! My! I've heard
tell of a. book some old wizardhad Where
nobod not even himself, could read
the pr ting, and he was the only man
that qould teed the 'writing in --the
mar —she was reading about it to, Jo

that was theeort of batiks Marian Con-
yers r d ; but I heard Jo sity'after-
wards they were only German, and
Anglo axon, and such. -

dreamd that little prettykinwas the
one they were talking about in this
feeble --a- sweetbrier bud, an apple

in general._ / used to think how proud
her peer mother'd have been if she could
just have lived to see her. But then,- if
she'd lived, Marian 'd never have been,
taken dare of and come to be head of the
academy. And I caught myself wishing'
more'n 'once that I had a daughter just

our p's and les. The first thing I kiwi'
she Wait askingif she might have is desk
in the keeping -room, and there was a
cut -glass inkstand and pen -tray on it,
and enough paper to shingle a meeting-
house ;', and she . told us we were all,
welcome to use what we wanted, for she
was teaching Marthy Collins to write,'
odd hours in the kitchen. I don't know
when I'd written a letter before,
but,I
had my chair wheeled right up to that

cousin Janet, though I didn't rightly
know if she Was dad' or alive. Some-
how it didn't lookithe way the teacher's
letters did.' - I'd scrimped Janet's name
down into one coiner, and got a great
Sumach from my thumb where I'd sealed
it ; and I was turning it . over and look-
ing at it, kind of. dissatisfied, and she
said to me, she said, 1' Shall I address

"So it is,' said she; "but]nglish is

'I' Anybody'd :13130Se I talked Chinese,

But, on the Whole, Jo took it in good
part ; it would he hard work for a man
not to take in geed part the in erest, as
yon'may call it, of such a pretty little
piece of the Lord's handiwork as she was.
And one day, se I was wheeling myself
about the house, I found, in the little
mem off the kitchen where Jo keeps his
tools and accounts and ledger, a new -
book. If you'll believe me t was an
English rammer ! Well, I took it up,
and tried to read a page or -tWo *Pelf ;.
it might just as well have been Greek
or Hebrew. I -puled Over it days
-while she was off to the aesdetny and Jo
out in the fields, but I couldn't make
head nor tail of it, and when I laid, it
down at last for.. good and all, I found
that JOe'hadl given it -up 00, for; it
wasn't dog-eared any more than the &et
day. He must have shut it up perfectly
_desperate. But there was hisold,history
'book and -hisgeography, and .they was
thumbed to pieces; and sure enough
there was a new book wit pictures of
the stars in it, and he'd never said moth:

• But, on the whole, aftercarefUlwatch-
ing, it didn't really seem is if Jo had
fallen inAove. Hedidn't wear his new
Clothes; he didn't tryany way at all to
make/ himself -seem, any better, -.any
different. He washed his face and
hands and tumbled his lair into wet
curls at the pump every night before he
,'came to supper! but then bed always
done that, and I couldn't see any living
change at all, except, his bringing in of
birds' eggs and _butterflies and(tree-
toads and the going out after dark to

If she'd tried that game on my Jo, I
didn't know bnt I'd kill her. But, land
