Indeed 1t IS, ma'am."
And her mistress read in her watery eve
the bright glance of truth.
''Well, Grace, i'll the first place, it was
awkward Of you to break your needle; but
there was no sin in that; it became sin
when yov went to take one Of Miss lanes,
which was not yours-it was then the sin of
stealing; for, as far as the sin goes, it is as
great wrong before God to take a single
needle belonging to another person as
pound. You stole needle, and as you were en-
gagged in the theft, your curiosity was excl
ted, and you were very near stealing money
also. Your mother came and actually took
the money-the consequence, l may say of
your theft; for if you had not opened the
work-boX to steal the needle, you would not
have seen the money-you would not then
have it in your hand when your mother
came to the window, and she would not have
been tempted to take it. You have partly
atoned your fault in being sorry for it. But
do not think that the 0ro@g consisted in go.

ma'am hear, did she give back the money ?"
''She has not been heard of yet at all
But would you not like to go away from this

''No, Grace, | must speak to Mr.. Saun-
ders about it; perhaps tomorrow or the day
after you will come out. But, Grace, though
believe you did not take the money, there
are others who think you did; so until your
mother is taken and tried, you shall stay at
school and learn your lessons. And if you
are let out, you must promise not to run
away or hide yourself anywhere
20, that [ WILL ma'an." And Mrs. Saun-
ders held out her hand, and Grace took it in
both hers, and looked as if she would like
to kiss her mistres s,
Good bye, Grace" said her mistress, as
they parted outside the door,
'Good bye, ma'am," said Grace, curtesy
ing.
And Mrs. Saunders spoke to her husband,
and he arranged with Mr.. Hamilton, and the
little girl in two days was let out on BAIL
And Mrs. Denny was very sorry to lose her /;
the blue-eyed child had won spot in her
heart.
But were they not glad at Fairport Poor
Jane was wild with ioy-the connecting link
of gratitude between her and her humble
pupil was not broken; and Charles was very
happy too.
And William, the butler, shut himself up
in the pantry for whole hour, and the
cook afterwards declared that she heard him
crying and thanking God.
And Catherine did nothing but laugh !;
and the cook said she knew it all along, and
that she'd bring her back, the crathur."-
And she did go. She told her mistress that
she had important business in NJ,
and it could not be put off; and wouldn t
the master lend the ass cart, and thin she
could bring home poor Grace ?" And her
mistress smiled, and said she might 60
And William suddenly recollected that he
had but a single boot or shoe in the world,
and asked leave to drive the cart.
And they came to the Jail, and there was
her father standing at the gate. He heard
from the Oscar police that she was coming
out, and he came to bring her home. Mr..
Rawson gave him the day. Another man

whistled some curious tune.
