And I really did enjoy myself Miss
Glyce took me ever the house which
seemed to me perfect curiosjty-shop
aud was never tired of admirng the
heavy old-iashioncd furniture, the rich
silk hangings aud the wonderful pictures
and gems Of art that were collected il the
ancient mansion.

Stacy gave ME very little peace that
sight, and was awakened from many a

could scarcely believe my eyes when
Miss Glycc, in all her splendor of came's-
hair shawl and leghorh bonnet glided
into my room, and took seat beside my
couch. But it was even so and flowers
aud fruit, and invitations TO drive, fol-
lowed the visit, until my companions be-
gan to laugh at what they called my old
maid lover
Before long was in Miss Glycc's par
lor again. She looked sad when | came
in, and was stutying miniature.
GLOW do you like this face? she asked
me, quiteabruptly.
pr 1 replied that thought it very hand,

There is a boy who disappointed me
sadly" She said, as she gazcd upon the
picture; "my only brothers. only child

him and then, when he might have been

| tried to cheer her, for | could see the
, tears in her eyes and presently she was
laughing at some Of my school scrapes
and questioning me as eagerly as though
, she had been my own age.
