looked long, long look, as f to fix the
expression of those features forever on

pressed his lips to the senselesS image.
Then came the fathers farewell words

Harry's prediction was i'll part fulfilled;
for though they loved him dearer than
before, if possible, yet they came not TO
him so often for help. For "dear new
mamma understood all about their les
sons as we'll as Harry And as Louise
said. Harry was preparing for college,
and needed all his time, so if mamma
could help them, they would not have to
hinder him SO often. And then twas SO

could pronounce the long French words
so beautifully for her when she stumbled
upon one. that she could always initiate
her better than she could Harry, she
thought: and then she read Virgil so

One day soon after "new mamma" come,
Harry came home and found his father

been his mothers from the place in the
parlor where during her life it had stood.

and quivering lip, he sought his sister.
"Louise, what is that for?''

for new piano for mamma, which will
come this afternoon; and papa wishes il
to be in the parlor. So he said the old
