81 tell you that what we have earned
for the last month is but drop in the

/ There were three of them-Maria,
Eunice for "Yune," as they called her,
and sick mother. Mrs. Merle was bed
ridden, and the girls worked to support
her and keep together their little home.
The girls let one of the chambers to a
lodger, and that helped to keep the roof
over their heads. For the rest of their
living, Yune taught the district school,
while Maria kept house, did sewing and
braided straw. LIZ,
"Oh' If we were only as rich as Mr..
Glyndon!'' said Yune. -..-l .,.,...
Mr.. Glyndon was the lodgei. .o, /. %.
"How do you know he is rich ?p asked
| Maria. +t. - l'rr
"Musn't he be, to dress so we'll, have
such library, and do nothing for liv-
ing?" asked Yuhe. 0.,O..,.' .L.r
| II suppose so. Ypne?" '...
| "Well?' answered Yune, dreamily
looking at the floor. .o.5 o. 80,
"Do you suppose he would lend us
some money until your next school quar-
ter is up" , !, ....i.,r ..s,-....ir l...
Yune's beauti ful brown eyes opened
wide. '" 10
81 don't know, 1 am sure. Why, dare
you ask himp He's so terribly reserved,
you know, Mariaw ,"t7o. :,
81 think I1wilI,' said Maria.
No more was said of the anticipated
plan, but the next night. when Yune came
from school, Maria showed her the twenty
dollars received from Mr.. Glyndon.
The next morning Yune started for
school, as usual, when quick step came
behind her, and the next moment Mr..
Glyndon was at her side. .-.
"Good morning, Miss Merle"
"Good morning, Mr.. Glyndon."
Mr.. Glyndon, d pensiYe, scholarly man
met Yune's dark eyes with eyes of the
steadiest and darkest blue--sweet, grave |
eyes, they wer5-those of gentleman.
''Miss Merle," was his next unsolicited |
remark, 81 like your face. Will you
marry meP" depth of his meaning when |
he said: like yonr face" s,i7 ..ua |
Thank you, Mr.. Glyndon, but am not
poor enough yet to sell my beauty. l |
wish you agood morning." and she turned
down cross road.
The next .morning Maria was I'LL
threatened with lung fever. Poor Yune
was overwhelmed with.her trouble. After
a short, passionate cry, she set to 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
a wotul settling In pecuniary way.
They were penniless, and the doctors bill
for Maria had ran up to twenty dollars.
Now the doctor had been hard credi-i
tor of her fathers, There was not man
in the village whom Yune had not rather
be under obligations to-unless she equal
ly regretted not being independent of Mr..
Glyndon. As she sat alone, she thought
of her watch-the little jewelled
Geneva watch which had been hersfathersl
last gift to her. She could pawn It. The
act was cruelest shcrilege, ,bat she went to
q wealthy man of the village, and received
forty dollars for it, with the agreement
that it was to be redeemed within six
months.
mIs Olynu udu oCCu very kluu uur-
ing Aaria's illness. Totally ignoring
Yune's abrupt repulse, he had done all
in his power to relieve her of distress and
labor. Studiously as she maintained her
hauteur, she could not but feel it. Sol
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; LIE rose up and brought
her chair.
'No; thank you; 1 will not sit.

TO us, Mr.. Glyndon. We are obliged for
The Kindness"
"AIiss Yune, shall not receive that
money. 1t was requested as loan, but
Maria must keep it in token of my ad-
miration for her excellence as sister
and daughter, I think she will do so.
She is not so proud as you are, Yune,"
Yune laid the money down haughtily.
81 prefer to repay the loan," she said,
md turned to leave the room, and then
,he went to the doctors
