Go! Well" said her sister
Ellie, Il wish you had one bit Of
sense! | rather think We shall 60
would spoil any visit under the
sun for 4 dip into aunt Ilelen's
pocket, and just thank my lucky
stars for tho chance"
but, Ellie, it looks selfish and
designing, and you know wo don't
care much about Aunt Helen.
How can VIC, wien We never saw
her?"
"But We care for her money"
~ don't believe | Ito very much.
| know ! would rather stay hero
and finish our visit than rush back
just to let her see us and choose
which one shall be her hcircss.
We've got enough to live on quiet
", Efio, don't let us 60"
Eilie turned, and looked intcntly
at hcr sister.
Il wonder il you are going era
zy?" she exclaimed. Let mo toll
you, Miss Allie, We are going, and
Tint by the next train, too. We
leave in just three hours
Ellie and Allie We're tho daugh-
ters of II widow lady III comforta-
bic circumstances, and they had IN
aunt who united her brothers for
tunc to hor own, and had no one
nearer than these two girls to
whom 10 leave it.
She did not live near them, and
had never cared for any inter-
course, beyond arcrcmOnious let
ter once or twice q year, to ler
relatives.
Ellie and Allie were away,spCnd-
ing a fcw weeks with 4 friend in
the country. They were sent for,
to return instantly, and tho letter
had Just boon received when Our
story began.
At twelve o'clock Ellie and Allie
stepped into tho train. The two
girls were then Obliged to tako tho
only vacant seat, which was direct
ly in front of an old lady in plain
waterproof suit, with huge green
veil over her bonnet.
"Wcll," said Allie, 'wc are in for
it now, Eilic. I'm right ashamed
of myself. 1t seems to me rs if we
were going to sell ourselves to the
highest bidder. I've great mind
to go back. Pm sure YOU will be
Aunt Helcn's choice, and it's no
Use for Inc to hang around her."
"Who's going to hang around
her, l wonder? But indeed | do
suppose YOU are right. She will
be likely to choose lie, for you never
try to mako anything of appear
anccs, and hope l do. Yes, |
think she'll choose me-"
"Wcll, lin quite willing she
should. You will take care Of
mamma. supposc?' said Allie.
"Of course | shall have to do
that. Aud You too
Not me, thank you! I'll have
enough from mama to'lrcSs decent
ly, and I'll 20 for II teacher OR some
thing, hut | won't be dependent on
you, Ellie"
Allie stopped and broke into one
Of her low, soft laughs.
"What are you laughing at nOw?'
snapped the hcircss prospective.
Il was thinking how funny it
would be il, after all, Aunt Helen
should choose somc one else to
leave her money to, and set lis out
in the cold.'
Just then the little old lady sit
ting before them leaned forward
as the train stopped, and said:
