CHAPTER MI.

The summer was drawing to close,
and with it Mary's school. She had sue
ceeded in giving satisfaction to the en-
tire district Mr.. Knight, with whom
Mary was Il great favorite, offered her
the school for the coming winter, but she
had decided upon attending school her
self, and after modestly declining his Of
fer, told him of her intention.
'But where's the meney coming from"
said hH.
Mary laughingly asked him how many
bags of shoes he supposed she had stitch
cd during the last two years.
"AIore'n two hundred, I'll bet" said he.
"Not quite as many as that" answered
Mary; ''but still have managed to earn
my clothes and thirty dollars besides; and
this, together with my school wages, will
pay for one term and part of another"
"WelI, go ahead" returned Mr.. knight.
"Td help you if could Go ahead; and
who knows but you'll one day be the
presidents wife,"
When Widow Perkins heard that Mary
was going away to school she forgot to
put any yeast in the bread which she was
making, and, bidding Sally Ann watch it
until it riz," she posted off to Mrs. Ma
sons to inquire the particulars, reckoning
up as she went along how much fourteen
weeks wages would come to at nine shil-
lngs per week.
But with all her quizzing and pump
ing" as Judith called it, she was I'M
able to ascertain anything of Importance,
and. mentally styling Mrs. Mason, Mary,
Judith and all great gumpheads," she
returned home and relieved Sally Ann
from her watch over unleavened bread.
Both Mrs. Mason and Mary laughed
heartily at the widows curiosity, though,
as Mary said, at was no laughing mat
ter whore the money was to come from
which she needed for her books and cloth
ing"
Everything which Mrs. Mason could
do for her she did, and even Judith, who
was never famous for generosity, brought
in one Saturday morning half-worn
merino, which she thought 'mebby could
be turned and sponged, and made into
somethin' decent adding, in an under
tone, that shed had it out airin' on the
clothes boss for more'n two hours"
a few days afterward Jenny Lincoln
came galloping up to the school house
door, declaring her intention Of staying
until school was out, and having a good
time.
Il hear you are going to Wilbraham,"
said she, "but | want you to go to Mount
Holyolle. We are going, whole lot Of
us-that is, if we can pass examination.
Rose isn't pleased with the idea, but /
am. / think twill be fun to wash po-
tatoes and scour knives. ! don't believe
that mother would ever have sent us
there il it were not that Ida Selden is
going. Her father and her Aunt Mar
tina used to be schoolmates with Miss
Lyon and they have always intended
that Ida should graduate at Mount Hol-
yoke Now, why can't you go, stoo?"
Il wish l could" said Mary, but L
can't. | haven't money enough, and there
is no one to give it to me-"
"It wouldn't hurt Mrs. Campbell to
help you little" returned Jenny. why,
last term Ella spent almost enough for
candies and gutta percha toys to pay the
expense of half a years schooling at
Mount Holyoke. It's too bad that she
should have everything and you nothing"
