was another reason, too. why Jenny
should weep hs she sat alone IN her room.
From her father she had heard Of all that
was TO happen. The luxufies 70 which all
her life she had been accustomed were

try house In Chicopee, dearef far than
her city home, must be sold, and no-
where In the wide world was there a
place for them TO rest.
Mr.. Lincoln entered his daughters
room. and bending affectionately over her
pillow said. How is my darling to-day"
Better, better-almost well, returned
Rose, raising herself In bed to prove what
she had said. II shall be out In a few
days. and then you'll buy me one Of those
elegant plaid silks, won't youi AL the
girls are wearing them. and | haven't
had a new dress this winter, and here
It's almost March"
Oh! how the father longed to tell bis
| dying child that her next dress would be
| q shromd. But he could not. He was too
much man OF the world TO speak to her
of death; 80 without answering her ques-
flon he said: Rose, do you think yon

What. TO Chicapee? that horrid. dull
placer thought we were not going there
\ this summer
mo, not 10 Chicopee. but 10 your grand
ma Howiand's In Glenwood. The physi-
elan thinks you will be more quiet there,
and the pnre air will do you good"
Rose looked earnestly In her fathers
| face to see IL be meant what he said, and
then replied: "rd rather 20 anywhere In
| the world than 10 Glenwood. You've no
| idea how | hate TO stay there. Grandma

fussy and country6ed-and cooks by q
fireplace. and washes In tin basin, and
wipes on crash towel that hangs on a
| roller"
Mr.. Lincoln could hardly repress a
smile at Roses reasoning. but pereeiying
that he must be decided. he said: I'VE
| think IL best for you 10 go, and shall ac-
| c0rdingiy make arrangements 10 take you
| In the course OF a week or two. Your
mother win stay with you. and Jenny,
| too, viii be there part Of the time;;"
then, not wishing 10 witness the effect Of
his words, he hastily left the room, paus-
Ing In the hall 10 wipe away the tears
which inyoluntarily came 10 his eyes as
he overheard Rose angrily wonder why
she should be turned out OF doors when
she wasn't able to sit np9'
IL never can bear the scent of those
great tallow candles, never" said she;
''and then TO think OF the coarse sheets

Jenny's heart. too, was well-nigh burst
Ing, but she forced down her own sor-
row, while she stroye to comfort her sis

| bracing air OF the country would make
her. and how refreshing, when her fever
was on, would be the clear, cold water
which gushed from the spring near the
| thornapple tree, where In childhood they
80 Oft had played. Then she spoke Of
the miniature waterfall, which not far
from her grandmother's door made
''fairy-like music" all the day long. and
at last, as II soothed By the sound OF that
far-off water. Rose forgot her trouble,
and sank into sweet, refreshing slum-

In a few days preparations were com
menced for moving Rose to Glenwood.
and In the excitement of getting ready
she In a measure forgot the tallow cam
dies and patchwork bedqailt. the thoughts

George Moreland comes to Glenwood |

and then. too. like TO see the country
folks open their mouths and stare at city

"What makes you think George will
come to Glenwood?" asked Jenny.
II know, and that's enough" answered
Rose; 'and now, before you forget 1t, put

"Why. Rose, what can you possibly

piled:
"0h. want to show 1t to grandma,
just to hear her groan over our extrava-

Jenny thought that II Rose could have
seen her father that morning when the
bill for the dress and its costly trim
mings was presented she would have
wished It removed forever from her sight.
Early in the winter Mr.. Lincoln had seen
that all such matters were settled. and OF
this bill. more recently made, he knew

II can't pay 1t now" said he promptly
to the boy who brought 1t. .'Tell Mr..
