"Yune!"
"Well~ -.
,,a month is but drop in the bucket to
"%r 100. e1nenses. We are twenty dollars In
debt G including the doctors bill:
There were three of them-Maria, Eu-

o'ar lvu their heads. For the rest Of their
LIVING Yuue taught the district school,
While while Maria kept house, did sewing and
braided straw.
oh. if we were only as rich as Mr..
Glvndon, said Yune.
Mr.. Giyndon was the lodger.
How do you know he is rich? asked
Mustn't he be, to dress 20 well, have
such library, and do nothing for aliv-

Yune!
We'll, answered Yune, looking at the
floor. -,
Do YOU suppose he would lend US some
money until our next school quarter is
Yune's beautiful brown eyes opened
wide.
don't know I am sure. Why, dare
YOU ask him? He's so terribly reversed
you know, Maria,
| think I will, said Maria
No more was said of the anticipated
plan, but the next night when Yune came
from school, Maria showed her the tweaty,
dollars received from Mr.. Glyndon.
The next morning Yune started for
school, az usual, when . quick step came
behind her, and the next morning Mr..
Glyndon was at her side.
Good morning, Miss Merle"
Good morning, Mr.. Glyndon.
Mr.. Glyndon, pensive, scholarly man,
met Yune's dark eyes with eyes Of the
stesdiest and darkest blue-sWeet, grave
eyes, they were-those ofa gentleman.
Miss Merle was his next unsolicited re-
mark, I like your face. Will you marry
me? .......... ,..
Yune misunderstood. She did not take
in the depth Of bis meaning when he said
like your face.
Thank you, Mr.. Glyndon' but am not
poor enough yet to sell my beauty. wish
you good morning, and she turned down
cross road.
The nexi morning Maria was ill
threatened with lung fever. Poor Yune
was overwhelmed with her troubles. After
. short, passionate cry, she set 10 work
bravely, However. A week Of weary care
and exhausting labor for her passed-then
Maria was out Of danger, and affairs began
to get little settled. But it was q woeful
settling in pecuniary way. They we're
penuiless and the doctors bill for Maria
had run up to twenty dollars. .. Z.
Now the doctor had been hard creditor
Of her fathers. There was not q man in
the village whom Yune had not rather
beunder obligations to-unless she equally
regretted not being independent Of Mr..
GIyndon. As she sat alone, she thought
suddenly Of her watch-the little jeweled
Geneva watch which had been her fathers
last gift to her. She could pawn it. The
act was cruelest sacrileee, but she went to
awealthy man of the village. and received
forty dollars for 1t, with the agreement
that it was to be redeemed within six
MONTHS.
Mr.. Glyndon had been very kind during
Maria's illness To'a!ly ignoring Yune's
abrupt repslse, he had done all in his pow.

iously as she maintained her hateur, she
could not but feel it. So more sweetly than
she might otherwise have done, she sought
him, TO repay the amount of his loan.
He was sitting by the window of his room
reading; be rose up and brought her
chair. No; / thank you; l will not sit.

tous, MI. Glyndon. We are obliged for
the kindness. ..,
Miss Yune, I shall not receive that

daughter. think she will do 80. She is
not 40 proud as you are, Yune.
Yune laid the money down haughtily.

turned to leave the room; and then she
went to the doctors.
Dr. Willard received her very pleas.
