C;ledon estate. Methinks you might un-
tlergo some slight inconvenience for the
sake Of being mistress there"
Mrs. Clayton flushed angrily, but said
nothing, and further conversation was pre-.
vented by the carriage stopping at the
depot.
We alighted and entered the great wait
ing room which was crowded with people
Ihaa never been among strangers before,
and this hurrying, surging crowd fairly be:
wil6ercd me. But over all hung the con,
vction that was going away among strange
people, with these two silent and unloving
women, who both seemed to owe me deep
and long standing g1udge My heart was
ready to burst with grief, and unable TO re-
strain my tears hid my face in my hands
and wept bitterly. Several people noticed
my grief, and remarks were being made as
to the cause, when Miss ArmrSd made her
way to me and, sitting down by me, endeav~
ored to pacify me by promises Of fine pres
ents, etc, and seeing that oil were regard
ing me curiously h,lshed my sobs and be-
came quiet.
The next moment shrill cry of "Al
Aboard' sounded through the room, and
there was rush for the outgoing train.
Mrs. Clayton and Miss Armund, with me
between them, hastily scrambled in, getting
barely inside ere the train started. The
coach we had entered was already full Of
passengers, but the ladies were given seats
somehow, and in my haste and bewilder-
ment stumbled and pitched head first into
fat old gentleman who was squeezing
himself into seat near by.
:sGracious me!' he exclaimed, rather
Grossly, while Mrs. Clayton gave me with
ering look from her dark eyes. which did
not add to my composure.
sSee here, Sis," said k:ad, ioyial voice
at my elbow, ssthere don't seem to be any
place in particular for you; suppose you
take seat on my knee"
Sand, almost before could comprehend
what was being done, found myself
perched upon the knee of o handsome
Young fellow of perhaps one and twenty,
who, seeing my confusion, had taken it up
on himself to come to my assistance.
Mrs Clayton thanked him graciously, and
Miss Armund seemed satisfied, so con.
cluded it was nothing improper to take the
proffered seat, and, finally gaining cour-
age, dared to glance into my companions
face. It was handsome debonair face, but
yet kind and manly, and his eyes won my
heart at once, they were so bright and kind
" in their expression. He did not ply me
with questions, but after his first remark

comment, but bade US now give our atten-
ton to mathematics. We did SO. She was
apparently good teacher, for she took
much pains to explain the problems and the
rules that governed them; but her voice
never lost its aatomatical ring. It was as
though wooden image were uttering those
things, and consequently the instructions
she gave were dry and uninteresting, and I
did not wonder that the children gave sigh
of relief when the lesson was over. But
they had evidently been taught implicit obe-
dience to their teachers rules, for they were
silent and respectful, paying strict atten-
ton to their books after their first stare
of welcome to me when was brought in.
She now gave US internission, during which
she left us alone together. The children at
once threw off all restraint and approached
me with loud questions.

children, who already began to envy me the
good luck (as they termed it) that hat be-

1t seemed to be settled then that was
going away, for the matron, after few
moments conversation, brought out the
large book in which persons adopting chill
dren were required to sign their names and
affirm to several rules respecting the care
and treatment Of them.
To the matron's surprise, apparently, the
younger of the ladies took up the pen to
sign her name, thus affirming that she was
the one who was really to take charge OF
me, though the elder lady's taste only had
been questioned regarding the choice.
I stood near and noticed the graceful,
elegant hand in which the lady wrote her

So saying, she put me gently aside and
began to empty out the contents OF my
small chest Of drawers; while I, seeing
that further pleading would be of no avail,
went slowly out to where my companions
were, and proceeded to bid them goodbye
