Tom had urged bis father to build had
cost more than they expected, and every
wear some new machinery must 10 pur-
chased. 1t was twenty miles to Glen
mere,-twenty miles from l'on'e-love,
care and comfort; but Sallie did not fall
ter, TO be sure, it was y trial to leave
them all, hard thing to select from her
little store of girls belongings; and
small room in bosrdiug-houso would
never afford the delight that hor own
large, sunny chamber did. Sallie felt
thousand tears, but did not shed one,
although her mother and Huldah wept
profusely as the carriage drove away
with SeIsie's father on the back seat
with her, and Jacob Storm in front with
Sallia's brother Dixie.
Dixie was younger than his sister,
and in deep grief at her loss. 1t did not
comfort him to be told that she would
not board among strangers, but become
member Of Mrs. Morals family. He did
not choose to listen when Jacob Storm
told him THAI Sallie was too wise..and too
GOOD to remain buried in Putncyvi'Ie'
Dixie was sixteen, and at that age boy
considers everything a burning shame"
which interferes with his pleasure.

as the father and daughter talked in low
tones on the back seat.
| Great chance" said Dixie, Ito go
down there and work among all sorts,
and never have any music evenings, or
any home, Or
Dixie paused; his feelings were too
much for him, and yet no would not let
Jake Storm SEQ tear in his eyes.
otis n chance to make yourself some
thing better than u drudge,-a chance to

great world. Reading is good, Dixie, but
seeing is million times better"
Jacob read early and late, he Thought
and studied but after all, he knew that

to him. His ono dread was that S"l''t
might consider him inferior to her. "S'''
