CHAPTER V.
HORRIDLE, HORRIDLE!!


Mrs Brown lived but little distance
from our house, and the neighborhood
being in the country and sparsely set
tied there was great deal Of passing
and repassing between the two fami-
lies Mrs. Brown was visitor at our
place every week, and sometimes more
frequently, and William Hanley often
came with her, so that he and l had
opportunities to become better ac-
quainted, and the friendship we had
formed on so short an acquaintance
broadened and deepened week by
week.
My sister formed great liking for
my new friend, and, he being five years
her senior, treated her much as ne
would baby, petting her and giving
her little presents, but never showing
her the interest he did me. Mary was
quick to notice the distinction he made
between US, and feeling that had no
right to be liked best, even by one per-
son, she grew jealous, and ported and
complained, and often went to her
mother to pour out words of reproach
against me.
My stepmother was not al all pleased
to have the elegant city lad show pref
erence for me, but she had no means
of controlling his tastes, and SO her
only resource was to vent her displeas-
ure on my unluclzy head. which she did
at every opportunity, making my life
more of a burden than ever it had
been.
