THE FIRST CRIME.
ny JOHN ROSS DIX

There was hustle in the little sleeping-roOm
Of young Ella Lane, lodging about OF lights
a constant tramping Of fat, good natured
serving maids. fitting Of curious smiling
little girls, and a disarranging Of drapery
and furniture not often occurring in this quiet
and tasteful corner.
An arch-looking miss OF twelve was stand
ing beforea basket selecting the choicest aow-
er. On tho bed lay a light aeccy dress OF
white. Immediately Opposite a small fire.
place sat girl Of seventeen years in half un-
dress, Immediately behind the chair Of the
young lady stood fair, mild-loOkiug mat
ron. There was a smile upon the mothers
lip, pleased, gratifed suile, and yet half
Swallowed over by a strange anxiety that she
strove to conceal from her happy children.
At last the young girl was arrayed, each
braid in its place, and the wreath of purple
buds falling behind her eur, her simple dress
aOating about her slight figure, like an airy
cloud, every fold arranged by mothers care
ful hands, and fan bouquet and kerchief all
in readiness. The large warm shwl had been
carefully laid on her shoulders, the mothers
kiss was on her cheek, and "don't stay
late. dear" was in her ear. She nodded
goodbye to them all, but when on the bot
tom Of the stairs she paused.
Il am sorry to go without you, mamma
Il am sorry that you must dear. But /
hope you will find it very pleasant
1T will be pleasant, no doubt. But, ma
ma, am afraid you are not quite well, or
perhaps you have something to trouble you
II 50, l should like very much to stay with
you
NO, dear, I am quite well. and Mrs.
Lane did not say happy, for the alsehood
died on her lips, but she smiled 80 checrily.
and her eye looked 50 clear and bright as il
met her daughters. tha, Ella took |. for a
negative as she sprang into theeaniase.
When Mrs. Lane turned from the door the
smile bad entirely disappeared, and an e,.
preston Of anxious solicisude took its place.
She paused beneath the hall lamp, and pull.
