TWO SHIPS.


plain. old = fashioned house we're
busy sewing, the elder rapidly run
ming a machine, the younger trim
ming a straw hat with odds and
ends of ribbons, which she tried in
VAIN to coax into some appearance
of freshness.
"How does it look, Matte 7" she
asked anxiouSly, holding it of a
little, and slowly turning it around.
Matte looked up from her ma
chine without stopping its quick
motion, turning one comprehensive
glance upon the hat and said, I'M
pulsively: "Like a last years
birds nest.p
"Oh, DEAR" said Dolly, flushing
all oyer her pretty worried face,
and tossing the poor little hat into
a corner. "What is the use, any
way? We may as well give up
and 90 to the poor house first as
last"
"Pll never give up, first or last"
said Matte. Somewhere and
somehow I know there must be
something better for us, and we are
sure to find it sooner or later; but
in the meantime l can't afford to
waste any of my strength in pre-
tending. Our clothes are old and
shabby and dingy, and it's OF no
use trying to make them look any
thing else"
Dolly gave a sigh that touched
Mattie's heart.
"POor little Dolly! It's too bad
for you; you're so sweet aid pretty
and patient. Just wait till my ship
comes in,
"An' you shall hae siller.
And wear a gOOld rDg.'
Dolly smiled.
"That was what father always
said when we wanted anything. /
used TO believe in that ship as much
as believed in next year, and
sometimes ! indulge myself in
dreaming about it now and fancy
what it will bring us.D
Matte set the last stitches with
lips compressed, aud began folding
the coarse shirts on which she was
working into a compact pile.
"Are they finished ~ asked Dolly.
'No; III sew on the buttons TO-
night; Pm gong out to look foI
our ship"
Matte put on a hat older and
more openly ugly than DOlly's and
walked down the street with her
firm, rapid tread. Once she turned
to look back at the small brown
house that was the only inheritance
her father had left to his wife and
girls--a fortune that seemed indefi
nitely smaller, now that the mother
had gone also, after a prOtraeteC
sickness that bad consumed the
last dollar from the sale OF the
orchard and garden. The course
sewing, with which the girls man
aged to keep soul and body to
gether, was certainly better thai
nothing, and was considered a re
spectacle resource, but at best il
was working with starvation swing
ing a merciless lash over tbeil
heads.
She went where many poor sou
had gone with perplexities thai
seemed nobody's busIness-to the
minister. No doubt in that penu
rious, poverty stricken community
