a0.-I'he SchOOl,

Tines march moves slowly, where weary
lives anguish in dull places.
Dating from one unkept and un:cknowl-
edged birthday 10 another, Sydney Wester-
field had attained the sixth year of her mar
tyrdom at school. In that long interval no
news of her mother, her brother, or her step
father had reached England; she had re-
ceived no letter. she had not even heard a re-
poll. Without friends aud without pros
poets, Roderick Westerfeld's daughter was,
in the saddest sense OF the word, alone in the
world.
The hands of the ugly old clock ia the school
room were approaching the time when the
studies OF the morning would come to an end.
YEARLY waiting for their release, the schol-
ars saw an event happen which was a novel;
ty in their domestic experience. 1he maid
of-allwork andaciously put her head In at
the door and interrupted Miss Wigger con-
Quoting the education OF the first class.
If you please, miss, theresa gentleman
Having uttered these Introductory words,
she was reduced to silence by the tremendous
voice OF her mistress.
Haven't l forbidden you to come here IN
school hours? Go away directly!'
Hardened by u life OF d~rudgery, under con-
ditions of perpetual scolding, the servant
stood her ground. and recovered the use OF
her tongue.
There's a gentleman in the drawing
room,v she persisted. Miss Wigger tried to
interrupt her again. "And here's his card! y
she shouted, In q voice that was the loudest
OF the two.
Being a mortal creature, the schooi-mis-
tress was accessible to the pr0mptings OF
curiosity. She snatched the card out OF the
girls hand.
Mr.. Herbert Liniey. Mount MoTpen,
Perfhshire. II don't know this person."
Miss Wigger declared. "You wretch, have
you let a thief into the housey!"
"A gentleman, IL ever l see ono yet" the
servant asserted.
Hold your tongue! Did he ask for mel
Do you hear?'
You told me to hold my tongue. No; ne
didn't ask for you."
Then who did he want 10 seev'
Its on his card"
Miss Wigger referred to the card again,
and discovered (faintly traced In pencii)
these words: 40 see Miss 5. W."
