forth as our Daisy does"
Just as Sally Was comfortably fixed at the
table, a laundering knock came AT the door,
and when Edith opened it, she was caught
in her brothers arms.
@Hal!oc, Puss, I've found you at last"
he exclaimed. Il couldn't wait till you
came home. This is my friend, Harry
Clement. You've heard all about PusS,
Harry, and she's heard all about you, so
you needn't be so stiff, and play that you
0"e strangers to one another"
Edith colored at this novel introduction,
but she said, With "A smile:
at is well that Mr.. (E,ment is not q
stranger to your ways, Harry, or he would
think them very queer. | am glad to meet
YOU, SIr. Clement, and she put out her
hand to greet him after tho cordial New
England fashion, when low, upon it's deli
etc white appeared spot Of Crime, and she
drew it back hastily.
No one had been noticing Old Sally, nor
had they seen how at the sound of Harry
Clements name, she had left her chair and
hobbled toward him as fast as her crippled
condition would permit.
as sure IA I'm a live woman, treaty be-
lieye it's M0s'r Harry hisselfr' she exclaimed,
! excitedly, pcering up at him with hertwink-
ling black eyes.
The young man turned and looked nj the
wizenod old face, and with a glad ring Of
| recognition in his voice, put out bis hand.
"HOwdy, Maum Sally he said. I've
been trying to find you ever since | came
North, and here you are where | didn't ex-
pect to see any one I'd ever seen before ex-
capting my chum here-Clifford Nelson.
How came you to drift so far away from
where you came first?
Use been among tho Philistinos, Mas'r
Harry, and they'G plucked me clean as al
whistle Of all my savings. But the good
Lord landed me here a. last, 80 that that
Dressed angel pointing to Edith, might
cheer up my ole heart n bit! / tell you,
Mas'r Harry, her equal never trod shoe
leather
The old creature was so earnest that no
one felt like laughing at her oddly con
structed sentence, and tears rose instead
Of smiles to Harry Clements eyes.
The sight Of the faithful servant had con
jured memories from the past CT dear faces
who would never again bless his waking
vision.
Cifford's voice recalled him to himself.
"MOther'N be expecting us, Harry.
Come, Edith, put on your tOggery, and
prepare to do the agreeable at home, for
Daisy seems 10 be completely m~0nopOli2ed,
and we'll have to depend on you for en-
| t~ertainment."
Yes, missy, o now. Ole SalIy'n live
the rest of the day on what bias happened
already. Good-hy, and God Dress you and
Mas'r Harry too. OF course you'll come
and see old mauma agen."
AS sure as the sun rises you'll have q
visit from me tomorrow. We mus, have u
| tall pUar old timaC YIN Ennw !" sold
Harry.
So the happy young people went away
from the Door cottage to join the gay party
assembled Mt the Nelson's homestead, and
think you not it added to their p easure
through that whole day to recur in their
thoughts to the brightness their visit had
left within the heart Of one of Goods
Poor?"
| am sure il did.
Another June came with it's wealth OF
roses, and beneath a fragrant marriage bell
stood a bridal couple. The solemn words
which made them man and wife had passed
the ministers lips, and congratulations had
been received from friends and &C.
qualntanceg.
How lovely Edith looks in her bridal
veil and orange blossoms" said a young
friend to Daisy, "and what a handsome
pIlueSIOOn MI. element makes. WneTe
did Edith captiyate such a splendid looking
man? I always said she would be an old
maid. You were the taking one of the two
among gentlemen, Daisy, and yet Eide is
! the first one to marry.
Daisy laughed-a low, cohtented sound
it was, too. For she had her own happy
secret hidden safe from curious eyes, and
she knew it would not be long before a
cunning little parsonage was to receive its
mistress. So she could bear teasipass, ;,b
equal unity, xseo Wa
s'.gs.rsals believe Edie charmed Harry's
heart out of his bosom by-you'd never
guess! cooking an old woman's dinner.
Did You notice that nice colored auntie who
helped the ladies straighten their traps, and
took care OF the wraps in the dressing
room2 She was q slave in the element
fam ly and was reduced tu great poverty
after she came north. Edith found her
out, and ministeIed to her needs, and she
was even cooking her Christmas dinner
when she and Harry met"
Il shall turn cook at oncet" said May.
Then you can cater to Sydney's taste,
answered Daisy, mischieyously.
Hush" said May, blushing wildly.
Here comes Sydney now"
And so the river of life runs on, bearing
its f~reightage of human joys and sorrows
until at last all reach the final port where
there will be @neither marrying nor given
in marriage" and where "alI tears shall be
wiped away"
