MISS ARNOLD.
Another Story of Love that was True,
but Didn't Run Smooth.
BY THE AUTHOR OF 1.-TWO OLD MEMS
TALES" ETC.
CHAPTER III (CoNTINUED).

cnalr, and, putting herself upon tne op-
posite side of the little table, began to
stretch out her feet to the fender, and
feel herself quite comfortable Three
shillings in her purse, and three-pence
half-penny to do just what she liked
with; perhaps buy Myra roll for tea;
there would be butter enough left.
Then she began her story. But the
effect it produced was not exactly what
she had expected. Instead of sharing in
her sisters thankful joy for this unex-
pectcd deliverance from the most abject
want, through the discovery of a friend:
able and willing to furnish employment
herself, and to recommend them, as, in
her hopeful view of things, Lettice an
ticipated, to others, and promising them
work of description that would pay
well, and make them quite comfortable.
Myra began to draw repining contrast
between GATHERINGS situation and her
own.
The poor beauty had been educated by
her silly and romantic old aunt to look
forward to making some capital match.
"She had such sweet, pretty face, and
so many accomplishments of mind and
Manner" for such was the way the old
woman loved to talk. Accomplishments
of mind and manner, by the way, are i'll
definite things; anybody y may put in a
claim for them on the part of anyone.
AS for the more positive requirements
which are to be seen, handled, or heard
and appreciated; such as dancing, music,
languages and so forth, Myra had as slen'
der portion of those as usually falls to
the lot of indulged, idle, nervous girls,
The poor beauty felt all the bitterness OF
the deepest modification at what she
considered this cruel contrast of her fate
as compared to GATHERINGS. She had
been INDUCED in that pernicous habi,
of the mind-the making claims. "With
claims no better than her own" was hel
expression. For though Catherine had
more money, everybody said Catherine
was only pretty; which last sentence i'm.
piled that there was another person, OF
GATHERINGS acquaintance, who was posi-,
lively and extremely beautiful.
Lettice, happily for herself, had never
been accustomed to make "claims." She
had, indeed, never distinctly understood

everybody was as uncomfortable.
She was always sorry when she heard
her sister talking in this manner, partly

hortatlon, indeed, only mace matters
worse; nothing offended Nyra so much
as an attempt TO make her feel more com
