BY AMY GRAHAM.

She was sitting IN the prettiest Of
bedrooms, writing busily; sometimes
the blue eyes filled with mirth, as the
rapid pen jotted down some odd con-
ceit. or queer expression; again she
would toss back her bright curls, and
saucy smile would cross her little
mouth, as mischief flowed from the
small golden point of her weapon.
One after another, the little sheets
Of note paper was filed with dainty
characters, folded, and slipped into
the snowy envelopes. Suddenly the
pretty writer paused. Resting her
little dimpled chin on her hand, she
sank into reverie; the blue eyes lost
their smiling light, the rosy mouth
folded into sweet, earnest gravity, as
she sat buried in thought.
"If / only dared" she whispered
".ifInnly dared Then, with aquick
impulse, she selected o sheet Of paper
somewhat larger than those she had
been using, and began to write again,
not as before, merry and careless, but
with deep earnestness, the rapid pen
evidently tracing words Of grave
import and weight. Once she paused,
and, folding her little hands, raised
her eyes in prayer. As she sealed the
long letter, she did what she had
neglected before directed it, in a
clear pretty hand, and then placed it
carefully in her writing-lesk. Again
she continued her task, sometimes a
scrap Of verse, a fancy quotation, or
even an address, filed the sheet, but
oftener little graceful note was writ
tenand folded. She was still busy,
when, laughing voices in the hall
made her pause. sea
