pane, muslin curtains. clean mating, con-
venient toilet table, and what to her was
fairer than oil the rest, upon the mantel-
piec. there stood two small vases, filled
with sweet flowers, whose fragrance till-
ed the apartment with delicious perfume.
All this was so different from the bare
walls, uncovered floors and rickety furni-
ture of the poorhouse that Mary trem-
blcd lest it should prove a dream from
which ere long she would awake.
When Mary was finally sent for by
Mrs. Mason she had been so much accus-
toned to sick persons that she knew in
tuitively just what to do and when to
do it, and her step was 50 light. her voice
so low. and the hand which bathed the
aching head so soft and gentle IN its touch
that Mrs. Mason involuntarily drew her
to her bosom, and kissing her lips. called
her her child. and said she should never
leave her; then, laying back in her easy
chair, she remained perfectly still, while
Mary alternately fixed her hair end
smoothed her forehead, until she fell into
a quiet slumber, from which she did not
awake until Judith rang the bell for sup
per, which was neatly laid out IN little
dining parlor, opening into the flower gar
and cheering in the appearance Oc the
room, and the arrangement Of the table,
with its glossy white cloth, and dishes OF
the same hue that Mary felt almost as
much like weeping as she did on the II .ht
oe her arrival at the poorhouse. Blu: Mrs.
Mason seemed to know exactly how to
entertain her; and by the time that first
tea was over there was hardly happier
child in the world than was Mary.
Mrs. Mason soon dismissed her to her
own room, where she for some time
amused herself with watching the day
light as it gradually disappeared from
the hills which lay beyond the pond. Then
when it all was gone, and the stars be-
gan to come out. she turned her eyes
toward one which had always seemed to
her to be her mothers soul looking down
upon her from the windows of heaven.
Now tonight there shone beside it u
smaller, feebler one, and in the fieecy
clouds which foated around it she fam
cied she could define the face of her baby
sister. Involuntarily stretching out her
hands, she cried, ooh, mother! Allie! l
am so happy now" and to the child's inn
aginatiOn the stars smiled lovingly upon
her, while the evening wind, as it gently
moved the boughs of the tall elm trees.
seemed like the rustic Of angels wings.
Who shall say the mothers spirit was
not there to rejoice with her daughter
over the glad future opening SO brightly
before her?

two ago. 1t had been long time since
the old man had been in Savannah. and
he rambled over the streets all the
morning. impressed with the wonderful
things he saw.
Naturally, toward midday he began
to feel little tired and very hungry;
so as he passed in front of one Of the
eating houses for colored people. of
which there are several in the neighbor-
hood Of Plant System depot. the succu-
lent piles of edibles in the windows
offered too great a temptation to be
resisted. He entered the restaurant
and sat down to table.

The German Empress is not at all
extravagant in the matter Of dress. but
she possesses a wonderful selection Of
aprons. When, not many months ago.
a committee Of ladies' presented her
with white satin one. with the names
Of her five sons embroidered In gold.
the Empress graciously thanked the
donors. explaining, my husband likes
me to wear an apron; he says 1t looks
nice and homely." The young princes
were delighted with this gift, for, as
one of them remarked, Mother cannot
well forget us when she carries our
names on her apron"

minutes: then one of the beasts dropped
his tail and whined. The others fol-

titled them. A few seconds later they
turned about and crept away down the
ravine, looking back stealthily two or
three times to see me.
When they were out Of sight I be-
gan to breathe again. didn't care to
hunt any more that day, and made for
the camp ut top speed. That was the
time my hair stood on end. and my
scalp was sore to the touch for week

"May kiss you, Miss Grundy:" said
Mary. Miss Grundy bent down and re-

pans of milk already skinned. Uncle
Peter between times kept calculating:
"Oh, Lord; oh, MASSEY sake!--oh, for

without Mary, but he was glad to have
her go to better home, so he tried to
be cheerful.
Aside from him, Sally was the only
composed one. 1t is true her eyes were
very bright, and there was IL compression
