She went to concert with us last even.
Ing, and looked perfectly beautiful. Hen
ry says she is the handsomest girl he
ever saw, and do hope she'll make
something of him, but I'm afraid he is
only trihing with her.
Ii there was a person In the world
whom Mary thoroughly detested it was
Henry Lincoln, and her eyes sparlled
and flashed so Indignantly that Ida no
ticed it, and secretly thought that Henry
Lincoln would for once find his match.
After time Mary turned to Jenny, say
Ing, You haven't told me a word about
about William Bender. Is he wellf'
Jenny blushed deeply, and, hastily re
plying that Ire was the last time she saw
him, started up, whispering in Mary's
ear, Oh, I'ves got so much to tell you
but | must so now"
Ida accompanied her to the door, and
asked why Rose, too, did not call. In
her usual frank, open way Jenny answer
ed, "You know why. Rose is so queer"
Ida understood her, and replied, VERY
we'll; but tell her that If she doesn't see
fit to notice my visitors certainly shall
not be polite to hers
Rose, who was daily expecting a Miss
King from Philadelphia, felt that nothing
would mortify her more than to be neg
lected by Ida, who was rather leader
among the young fashionables. Accord
| ingly, after a long consultation with her
mother, she concluded it best to call up
on Mary. In the course of the afternoon,
| CHANGING to be near the front window,
| I.I. IL.
away from his door with Ida and her
visitor
Now is my time" thought she; and
without a word to her mother or Jenny
she threw ON her bonnet and shawl and
in her thin French slippers stepped
across the street and rang Mr.. Seldens
doorbell. or course she was 80 disap-
| pointed not to find the young ladies at
home" and leaving her card for them,
tripped back highly pleased with her own
| cleverness.
| Meantime Ida and Mary were enjoying
their ride about the city, until, ceming
suddenly upon an organ grinder and
monkey, the spirited horses became
frightened and ran, upsetting the car
riage and dragging 1t some distance. For
/ tunately Ida was only bruised, but Mary
| received. a severe cut upon her head,
which. with the fright, caused her to
| faint. Al young man who was passing
down the street, and, saw the accident
| Immediately came to the rescue; and
| when Mary awoke to consciousness Billy
| Bender was supporting. her and gently
| pushing back from her face the thick
| braids of her long hair.
"Who is she? Who Is sheY', asked the
eager voices of the group around; but
no one answered until a young gentle
man, issuing from one of the fashiona-
BILE saloons; came clustering up, demand
| ing what the row was"
Upon seeing Ida, his manner changed
| instantly and he ordered the crowd to
"stand back" at the same time forcing
| his way forward until he caught a sight
of Mary's face.
"Whewl Bill" said he, 'your old
fame, the pauper, isn't 1t
1t was fortunate for Henry Lincoln
that Billy Bender's arms were both in
use, otherwise he might have measured
his length upon the sidewalk. AS it was,
Billy frowned angrily upon him, and in a
fierce whisper bade him beware how he
used Miss Howard's name. By this time
the horses were caught, another carriage
procured, and Mary, still supported by
Billy Bender, was carefully lifted into II
and borne back to Mr.. Selden's house.
Many of Ida's friends, hearing of the
accident, hocked In to see and to inquire
after the young lady who was injured
Among the first who called was Lizzie
Upton from Chicopee. On her way home
she stopped at Mrs. Campbell's, where
she was Immediately beset by Ella, tt
know "who the beautiful young lady wa:
that Henry Lincoln had so heroicall,
saved from violent death-dragging he
out from under the horses heels!'
Lizzie looked at her n moment in sur
prise, and then replied, "Why, Mis-
Campbell, is 1t possible you don't know
it was your own sister?"
1t was Henry Lincoln himself who hat
given Ella her information without, how
ever, telling the lady's name; and now
when she learned that twas Mary, sh,
was too much surprised to answer, ant
Lizzie continued 81 think you are labor
ing under a mistake. 1t was not Mr.
Lincoln who saved your sisters life, but
| q young law student, whom you perhaps
have seen walking with George More
land"
Ella replied that she never saw George
Moreland, as he left Boston before she
came; and then as she did not seem a,
all anxious to know whether Mary was
much injured or not, Lizzie soon took hei
leave Long after she was gone Ella sal
alone in the parlor, wondering why Hen
ry should tell her such a falsehood, and
if he really thought Mary beautiful. Poor
simple Ella. She was fast learning t
live on Henry Iincoln's smile, to believe
each word that he said to watch merry
ously for his coming, and to weep if ht
stayed away.
