Edna qazed upon her mother, whose face
was lighted up with faith and hope but alas! the
tiny hectic flush, burned upon her sunken cheek
but too deeply and her eyes shone with unwon-
ted briiIiancy
She knew her strength was but for a day, and
that the morrow would find her perhaps, pros
trae and helpless But the supply OF food Of
which she had not dreamed gave her new
courage, and counting her money over she de-
scended irto Mrs Clements apartment
A gracious smile lighted up the landIadys
coarse features, as tile bright silver peeped forth
from its nesting place. in Ednas hand, but as
quickly vanished as she said.
d have not brought you all the money due,
Mrs Clement, but | was disappointed in not
receiving as much as was promised for my
work
you've owed me for two or three weeks
back, Miss EtheriI and I can't take any less
than the whole to-day That room is one ofthc
best in the house I've had applications with
out number for it since you moved in. Poor
people should not take such room, when they
know they can't pay for it. You must gather
up your buds and be of, or else pay me the whole
debt to-day. I'm poor woman, and can't az
ford to keep azinoss for nothing. There's your
mother: to my sartin knowledge, hasn stirred
her foot from bed for whole days; I've no notion
of keeping such folks in my house
MY mother is sickly, Mrs, Clement said
Edna, with the tears streaming down her face,
she is consumptiye.'
'Oh, faldedal, so am I. Let her 90 to work
as do, and earn her bread as the holy scrip
ture says, 'by the sweat of her hands, and she'd
be well enough, reckon
you might let her have the chamber over
that which she now occupies said we'll dress
ed young woman, who gazed comp7ssionatcIy
on the poor GIRL
what is the rent of THAR onquired Edna.
-Four shillngs week, two less than you pay
now replied Mrs. Clement; you had better
take it ard move to-day lis little dampsh to
be sure, but build up good fire and it will soon
be dry Being as you are going to the trouble
of moving, why, III call the account square -
and remember, Miss, there amt many women
would do that

.rowully up stairs to communicate the intelligence
