sister, Pamela, thought there Were two
ladies in the chaise and not the aunt

AS for Serena Ann, she was fast

over, they We're looking for one gentle
man in the chaise with her, and here

So the two chaises ratified on almost

We're within half mile of the Bagley
farmhouse, Joshua Simmons turned into
another road, which was little shorter
cut. Aunt Love was impatient to see If
Serena Ann had reached home. And so
it happened since Solomon Soley's horse
was a little faster, that both chaises
turned into the Bagley yard at the same
time, and Serena returned from her
Christmas outing with something more
exciting than a flourishing of trumpets.
Serena Ann herself was so tired and
sleepy that she could not fairly realize
anything. 1t seemed to her like a
dream; the chorus of surprise and de-
light, Mr.. Solomon's and Miss Pamela's S

warm, and eating supper, and borrow

their homeward journey, and every
thing. She scarcely even grasped in its

Miss Pamela presented her with the rose
wood workbox and the doll when she
kissed here good-by, but Serena Ann
had gotten one of the pleasantest men,
ories of her life, and had her first Christ

with cherry strings. She was quite
warm, and her face was so pink and
radiant with bliss that Aunt Love and
Joshua looked at her, and smiled at each
other above her head.
Serena Ann, moreover, had, tightly
grasped in one red-mittened hand, her
mothers silk purse, and it contained
two ninepences, one of which she was
to spend for herself, and the other for a
jack-knife for Ebenezer. Her father had
given them to her when she started. She
made up her mind, as they logged along
over the frozen road, that she would
spend her ninepence for an apron for
her mother instead of anything for her
self, because she could not go to Boston
in a chaise
When they reached the city they
stopped at the Sign Of the Lamb, where
Joshua Simmons put up his team; then
they all went shopping down Hanover
street, where the fashionable stores
We're at that time.
Serena Ann enjoyed huying Aunt
Loves and Joshua Simmons wedding
furniture quite as much as they did,
She thought there was never anything
quite so handsome as their hairclOth
sofa, and mahogany card-table and
looking glass, and she trudged after
them to all the shops where they priced
articles and then back to the one where
they found them cheapest and best,
and never thought of being tired.
But she was glad at noon to go back
to the Sign of the Lamb and have some
baked beans and a piece Of pumpkin
pie. They seemed to her far superior to
the baked beans and pie at home.
After dinner Joshua Simmons left
them. He had to go a little farther to
see about his own wedding suit and
Aunt Love meanwhile was to buy her
wedding bonnet and shoes, and Serena
Ann make her purchases. Then they
were to meet at the Sign of the Lamb
and go home.
Serena Ann went with her aunt from
shop to shop, and watched her try on
bonnets until she finally bought beau
tiful one of green uncut velvet trimmed
with white plumes and white Lutte
string ribbon Then they started to buy
the shoes, Aunt Love carrying the bon
net in a large green bandboX.
There was quite a crowd in Hanover
street that afternoon. A great many
ladies were out shopping. Serena Ann
could not walk beside her aunt very well,

One vein outcrops for perhaps 100
yards, with a north to south strike.
The results thus far obtained are only
from about five feet depth of working,

and about the same distance from
Mitchell's Peak, a little north of the
crest of the Blue Ridge. II is some fifty
miles west of the emerald locality at

and then we will ask him what to do.
My brother Solomon always knows
what s-best to do. He is older than /,
and has carried off many honors at
Harvard college. Don't cry, Serena
Ann. He'll be sure to find your aunt for
you"
Serena Ann was somewhat comforted,
for the young lady had a way at once
sweet and commanding, and she went
hand in hand with her and purchased
a beautiful jack-knife for Ebenezer, with
one ninepence, and piece of white
nainsook for her mothers apron with

she was so jostled, so she fell behind. Now
and then she took hold of the skirt of
her aunt's blue delaine gown, so as not
to lose her.
Nobody ever knew how it happened,
but suddenly, after she had been pushed
by the hurrying people and had caught
hold of the blue delaine gown, the lady
who wore it looked around and she was
not Aunt Love. She was very pretty,
but her hair was black and fell in
lunches of curls, instead of smooth
braids, over her red cheeks, and her
eyes were black instead of blue. More
| over, she was very finely dressed, wear
| ing a velvet pelisse and rich fur tippet,
and bearing before her great fur muff.
| The blue delaine gown was the only
| thing about this strange young lady
that in the least resembled Aunt Love.
| She stood looking with great surprise at
Serena Ann, who looked up at her quite
pale with fright still keeping fast hold
of the blue delaine.
Finally the young lady laughed, and
| then her face, which had appeared
rather naughty, looked very sweet.
What is the matter said she, "and
why are you holding my gown"
"1-thought you were Aunt Love-"
| faltered Serena Ann, and the tears be
| gan to come.
Were you holding to your aunts
gown?"
yes, ma'am."
| The young lady laughed again. "My
name is Miss Pamely Solely" said she.
Take hold of my hand, and don't cry,
and Wen go find your aunt
So Serena Ann curled her red mitten-
hand timidly around the kid gloved
fingers Of the young lady, and they
went back down Hanover street: They
walked on both sides, they looked in
every shop, but all in vain.
The truth was that poor Aunt Love
had missed Serena Ann much sooner,
and had started off on wrong track in
| search.
When she had discovered that her lit
| tie niece was not behind her and looked
around in dismay and lost the color out
of her pretty pink cheeks, several sym
| pathiZing ladies had gathered around
her, and one had been quite sure she
had seen a little girl just like Serena
Ann in lambswool tippet and brown
silk hood, run down side street little
way back SO Aunt Love went down
the side street, looking and inquiring of
everybody.
She almost cried as she went along.
carrying her big green handbox, look
ing in vain for Serena Ann. She did
not know what to do, but finally it oc-
cured to her that it was nearly the
time for her to meet Joshua Simmons
at the Sign of the Lamb and that in all
probability some benevolent person
would have taken Serena Ann thither.
So Aunt Love hastened to the Sign of
the Lamb, but 1t took her some time
for she had wandered quite distance
But Miss. Pamela Solely was not wise
enough to think that the best plan was
to take Serena Ann to the Sign of the
Lamb at once. since they could not find
her Aunt Love on Hanover street. She
was quite young lady, in spite of her
| stately manners, and had not had much
experience in rescung lost little girls
She stood still for some time in Han
over street, holding Serena AIMS hand
celebrating what to do. But finally q
bright thought struck Miss Pamela

WORLDS GREATEST ORATOR.
Edmund Burkcs Fame Grows with the
Lapse Of Years.


Edmund Burke, orator statesman,
philosopher. writer, poet was one of the
brightest of the galaxy of genius that
Illuminated the latter part of the eigh-
teenth century. The contemporary of
Goldsmith, Johnson, Pitt, Fox, Gibbon,
Walpole, Wilberforce, and others whose
names stand for some of the greatest
achievements in English history and
letters, his fame has grown with the
lapsing years. His works are read to-
day almost as eagerly as they were
when his work on the French revolu-
ton made Europe pause in the midst of
war, and trembling or tottering thrones
to admire his genius. Kings paid tri-
butte to his learning and eloqunce, and
jealousy forgot her sneer when his name
was mentioned and praised in spite of
herself a rival. Not exactly a rival, be-
cause in many things Edmund Burke
had no competitor. His Reflections
gave Europe a new thought, and the
nations listened to him in astonishment
His essay on "The Sublime and Beau
tiful' is as delicate a piece as the dis
section of rose would be. With keen
est insight he analyses the feelings
which were supposed to be too subtle,
too much an effiorescence of the soul to
be grasped and classified and placed on
view. His political pamphlets were the
wonder of the time and were models of
craftsmanship, although intended most
ly to be what would be now campaign
documents of a partisan stripe.
Burkes ancestry was not notable.
His father was prosperous lawyer in
. Dublin. His great grandfather was
mayor of the city of Limerick, and was
prominent in the troubled times of the
first Charles. There was a tradition
that the family came from the noble
Normans, De Burgh, who settled in Ire
land in the reign of Henry II, but this
theory is not sustained by proof. Ed
mund Burke was an lrishman, but he
seemed to have little or no sympathy
with the men who at various times
during his career attempted to obtain
independence for their native land. He
was content to be an English states
man, but at any rate he wrote an Irish
name at the top of the list of the
worlds greatest orators and thinkers.
