unjustly suspected of so doing by Mrs.
Prescott and her daughter. The for
mer determined, therefore, on one pre-
text or another to get rid of her
troublesome boarder, hoping that the
young man, when no longer exposed
to her destinations, would retu I'm to his
first love.
It was with view to this that Mar
garet was now summoned to the parlor.
Although she had noticed the increas-
ing GOODNESS of Mrs. and Miss Prescott,
she did not suspect the cause.
AS the time for giving lesson to her
sole remaining pupil was near at hand.
she went down with her bonnet on.
Excuse me coming in with my bon
net on, Mrs. Prescott" she said, as she
entered the parlor; "but l am obliged
almost Immediately to 60 out to give a
lesson, and did SO to save the trouble Of
going upstairs again" ~.
Certainly" said the landlady, stimy.
Bridget said you wished to speak to
me-" said Margaret, finding that the
landlady hesitated.
''Yes;" said the landlady, clearing her
throat, II wished to ask if you can con-
veniently obtain another boarding
placer" ~ 49,
'.'Indeed!' said Margaret, in utter sur.
prise, looking from the mother to tho
daughter.
''Yes;" said Mrs. Prescott, II think
shall want your room.'
May l ask" said Margaret, after a
pause. whether it is any personal OBJ
lection to myself that leads to your ro-
Quest?"

Mrs, Prescott WAS about to answer IA
the negative, when her daughter. no
longer able to keep her indignation with
her supposed rival within bounds, intcr-:
rupted her bitterly. /. !.
& Yes. there is q reason and rood one.
Miss Tremaine. Ma and have noticed
your underhand attempts to attract Mr..
sColton's attention, when you knew we'll
enough that he was engaged to me, or
the same thing. We don't want any
such sly people in the house, 50 now you
know it"
Indeed, Miss Prescott" said Mar
garrett quietly, for the accusat ton seemed
80 absurd that it did not disturb he's,
you arc under strange delusion. I
certainly have no wish to appropriate
Mr.. Colton's attentions As to his
wants have nothing to say. I shall be
glad to congratulate you on your en-
gagement with him"
''Oh! no doubt said the young lady,
sneeringly. This comes very we'll

prevent it." Ill.,. h.. ..s...s
do you believe this ridiculous story,
Mrs. Prescott: demanded Margaret
turning to the landlady.
II did not intend to have my daugh-
ter mention it," said Mrs. Prescott,
cold]y, ''but it certainly has seemed to
me that you have flirted with Mr.. Col
ton as should not wish daughter of
mine to tlirt."
''Then you are very much mistaken"
said the young girl, Indignantly. "Mr.
Cotton may be very estimable young
man, but he has no attractions for me!
1 have not the least desire to attract
him. He has been polite to me on one
or two occasions, but it was by no de.
sire of mine. IT could marry him to-
morrow should not wish to do So" -
"Sour grapes!" said Miss Prescott
sneering.
"You may cali it what you please"
said Margaret, 'but it is the truth.
However, since you havo suspected mo
so unjustly, have no wish to stay here
any longer. I will leave tomorrow,
when my week is up"
Just then the painful thought flashed
upon Margaret that she had not money
enough left even to pay weeks board.
and it was hardly to be supposed under
the circumstances that Mrs. Prescott
would be very indulgent. She turned
pale and sick at heart, and stood for 4

the door was thrown open and young

the ladies were so occupied in the dis

rung without either being aware of it.
Scarcely had Margaret lifted her eyes,
and suffered them to rest on the strang-

into his arms. exclaiming: Dear Henry,
pow glad am to see YOU"
The landlady and her daughter stood
by in statue-like surprise, not recognize
ing the visitor. Miss Prescott, who did
not know OF the relationship had her
eyes demurely cast down, shocked by
Margaret's indelicacy in thus openly
embracing young man.
When the greeting was over, Marga-

This was certainly ineligible
enough. Probably Mrs. Morgan did not

withdrawing her patronage from the
young girl she was depriving her OF

however, and it was with deep sink.
ing of the heart that Margaret Tremaine
read the four lines recorded above.
Margaret, as of course the reader
will understand, was music teacher
She had been reared in af1uence, but
the sudden failure of her father, and
his almost immediate death, had
thrown her upon her own resources for
support She had brother two years
older, who had gone to California in

quent as at presenc, and she had re-
ceived only occasional letters. Thus
far he had not met with great success
in digging gold.
Through the influence of Margaret's
riends she had obtained several music
scholars at once, enough to defray her
expenses, moderate as they had now
become. She had taken an attic room
In Mrs. Prescotts clearinghouse, and
had thus far been able to meet her
weekly bills.
But this period of comparative pros
lerity came at length to an end. One
family in which she had several
scholars went abroad, and these were,
of course, lost to her. Another pupil
was sent to a boarding school, Thus
her income was reduced one-half. A1d
now, to crown all, Mrs. Morgan with
drew her patronage, and the young girl
was left with almost no income at all
What to do she did not know
She might advertise for pupils, but
would she get them? Besides she could
not spare the money which the adver-
tisement would cost. With feeling of
dismay she saw utter destitution staring
her in the face.
1t was at this moment that knock
was heard at the door.
"Come ill.," she said.
Raising her head as the door was
opened, she recognized in the caller one
of Mrs. Prescott's servants
T., "Well, Bridget, what's wanted?" she
said.
''Mrs. Prescott would like to see you
in the parlor, miss
''Now?"
Eyes, miss, if you please"
Every we'll; say that will come down

Before chronicling the interview
about to take place, it may be necessary
ito say that Mrs. Prescott was widow
with an only daughter, not remarkable
for good looks. This young lady had
for several months enjoyed the atten.
tions of young man who was popularity
supposed to be engaged to her. But to
the great indignation of the landlady
and her daughter, the young man,
Cotton by name, had recently shown
some indications of transferring his
attentions to Miss Tremaine. That
young lady was quite innocent of en-.
couraging him, but nevertheless was
