place? I thcuxst we were not going there
this summer"
mo, not to Chicopee, but to your grand
ma Howland's in Glenwood. The physi-
clan thinks you will be more quiet there,
and the pure air will do you good"
Rose looked earnestly in her fathers
face to see if he meant what he said, and
then replied: ''Fd rather go anywhere in
the world than to Glenwood. You've no
idea how hate to stay there. Grandma
is so queer and the things in the house so
fussy and countryfed--and cooks by q
fireplace, and washes in a tin basin, and
wipes on a crash towel that hangs on a
roller!'
Mr.. Lincoln could hardly repress q
smile at Roses reasoning, but perceivirg
that he must be decided, he said: I'VE
think it best for you to CO. and shall ac-
cordingly make arrangements to take you
in the course of a week or two. Your
mother will stay with you, and Jenny,
too, will be there a part of the time;'
then, not wishing to witness the effect Of
his words, he hastily left the room, paus-
ing in the hall to wipe away the tears
which involuntarily came to his eyes as
he overheard Rose angrily wonder why
she should be turned out of doors when
she wasn't able to sit up
Il never can bear the scent of those
great tallow candles, never" said sha:
"and then to think of the coarse sheets
and patchwork bedquilts-oh, it's dread
fulr'
Jenny's heart, too, was well-nigh burst
hIt hn
row, while she strove to comfort her SIS
ter, telling her how strong and well the
bracng 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
so 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 if soothed by the sound of that
far-off water, Rose forgot her trouble,
and sank into sweet, refreshing slum-
ber
In 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 bedquilt the thoughts
of which had SO much shocked her at
first.
"Put in my embroidered merino morn
ing gown" said she to Jenny, who was
packing her trunk, land the blue cash
mere one faced with white satin; and
don't forget my best cambria skirt, the
one with so much work on it, for whea
George Moreland comes to Glenwood l
shall want to look as we'll as possiblsj
and then, too, l like to see the country
folks open their mouths and stare at city
fashions"
"What makes you think George will
come to Glenwood?" asked Jenny.
II know, and that's enough answered
Rose; "and now before you forget it, put
in my leghorn hat, for if stay long !
shall want it; and see how nicely you
can fold the dress l wore at Mrs. Rus
sells partyw
"Why, Rose what can you possibly
want of that?" asked Jenny, and Rose re-
piled:
"Oh, / want to show it to grandma,
Just to hear her groan over cur eXtrava-
gance, and predict that we'll yet come to
ruinT'
Jenny thought that if 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
nothing.
81 can't pay it now" said he promptly
to the boy who brought it. Tell Mr..
Holton I will see him in a day or two"
The boy took the paper with an inao-
lent grin, for he had heard the fast ctr-
culating rumor that one of the big bugs
was about to smash up" and now, eager
to confirm the report, he ran swiftly back
to his employer, WHO muttered, Just as
I expected. I'll draw on him for what
I lent him, and that'll tell the story. My
daughters can't afford to wear such
things, and I'm not going to furnish
money for his"
Of all this Rose did not dream, for In
her estimation there was no end to her
fathers wealth, and the possibility of lis
failing had never entered her mind.
