CHAPTER II.
NY SISTER AND l.

L.
One thing that used to cause me a
great amount Of worry was my name.
My mother had selected the name for
me and IL was very pretty, and II peo-
pie had only used IL complete should
have been satisfied. But no one did
that except Aunt Mary, and instead Of
being called Agnes | was simply Ag.
Somehow the short, Grabbed abbreyin.
tion always impressed me with the
thought Of the little space occupied in
the affections Of others; and IL was also
suggestive Of the fact that in whatever
people had TO do with me they wished
TO bo rs brief as possible. My sister,
whose name was Mary, was often
called Maggie, but no one ever thought
OF calling her Mag, and yet that
wouldn't have been near SO unpleasant
as Ag, because IL Is not so scrimped and
pinchcd, and SO void of sentiment.
Perhaps It was the contrast between
my sisters name and my own that
made mine so distasteful. | remember
that used TO think Maggie very pretty,
and always associated II with beau
tiful, accomplished young lady loved
and pcttcd by everybody, while Ag al
ways seemed adapted TO n great, coarse,

but II was born out OF my surround.

mind and could not rid myself OF II.
was cnvlous Of my sister, II was no
doubt ungcncrous of me TO feel SO, but
could not help IL. She was loved and
made over" by everyone, and felt
that II was unfair that such u dis
tinction should be made between two
sisters when there was no reason why
II should be. envicd her the kind
words, carcsscs and other attentions
she received continually, and sometimes
| felt bitter toward her because Of II.

tons that ought to have been shared
between us, II seemed 10 me that II |
were In her place should refuse to be
petted and flattered while she was
neglected.
From the first my stepmother made
oil the distinction possible between her
daughter and myself; and my father, l
am sorry TO say, was quick to follow
her example. Any little action on
Mary's part which was cunning or af-
fectionate commanded great attention
and was talked about and commended
MS though II was the most wonderful
thing imaginable, while the same ac-
ton on my part would have met with
heartless rebuff and | would have
either been roundly upbraided or re-
ferred to as "smarty,n term, by the
way, which was invariably applied to
me whenever ! ventured TO say or do
anything cunning.

else, pretended that there was

know that often thought It would be
great blessing to me II she would only
take sick and die; and on one occasion
when she was very low with fever and
not expected 10 live, do not think
was at all sorrowful. Still, would not
have the reader think was heartless,
for was not, was as kind and SYM
pathetic as ever and there was nothing
would not have done to favor one who
had been kind TO me. But continued
persecution had steeled my heart
against my stepmother, and hated her.

mother, and was sent into n dark
