The Rival Sisters.
CIIAPER /.

BEAUTIFUL BUT DANGEROUS HEROINE.
Miss Cranston, very accomplished woman, kept
q female school near BlantOn, quiet town in New
Jersey This place had been selected by Mrs. Blake,
the mother OF one OF the Rival Sisters her home,
on account OF the reputation Of the school. Mrs.
Blake made her advent in Blanton in the character
OF widow who had recently lost her husband, and
she brought with her q daughter ten years OF age,
named Hester, who was placed with Miss Cranston
as pupil.
Hester Blake was remarkable child.
Miss Cranston found her q curious study.
"If she Is not tempted, all may go well with her."
thought the old lady; "but If she is-n and the
omnous shake Of the head expressed more than
words.
Mrs. Blake had fifteen hundred year, which she
stated was derived from property In the South but
where 1t was situated, and In what place she had
lived before she made her advent In Blanton, was
matter Of conjecture. No amount OF pumping had
been successful In extracting such Information
from either mother or daughter.
For few years the stranger lived almost alone,
for her fr1endless advent among them had not in
spired her neighbors with much confidence In her
antecedents; but as time went on. she won upon
the good opinion OF those around her, and at the
time my story opens Mrs. Blake was received as a
guest by the best families In the village.
People did not trust her. but they admired and
pitied her; for they said 'she is goody to look at
and she has evidently been sufferer in the battle
OF lfe." All II they had only known how and under
what circumstances that battle had been waged, 1
am inclined to think that the reputed widow would
have found few friends defenders In that strait
laced neighborhood.
The cottage occupied by Mrs. Blake stood about
mile from the town. II was comfortable house,
with veranda In front, over which lowering vines
were trained, and the large yard that surrounded
1t was shaded by elm trees.
She was now dreamily regarding her daughter
who stood In front OF mirror combing out mass
Of black glistening hair.
The figure OF the girl was modelled after that OF
her mothers there was the same perfection OF out
line; the same sinuous, elastic movement; but the
faces were not alike.
She suddenly turned, and, facing her mother
said:-
''The dull monotony OF this place is becoming un-
endurable to me. wish to see something Of the
word--l must see 1t, mother"
With @ sigh Mrs. Blake said:-
"Sit down on that low chair, and try to be quiet
while speak Of things 1 had almost determined
Hester sat down, and prepared to listen to what
she had so long desired to know.
Mrs. Blake at length spoke:-
:" You ask me how 1t happened that was cast
of by the man adored why he was permitted to
wrong me 80 bitterly as to bring to his home
another wife while yet lived and sureredS
