"Well, can you tell me in what year, and at what time of the year, you found the child?" "It was on the 2nd of June, 18 " said Mrs. Burton, promptly. "Cobbler" Horn and Miss Jemima exchanged glances. It was the very year in which, on that bright May morning, little Marian had vanished, like a flash of departing sunshine, from their lives.

"You can not tell what I have suffered, Lily," she said, humbly. "See, my pride is all beaten down, only those who have had a secret, eating heart and life away, can tell what I have endured. A few more days of agony like this, and I shall be free forever from Hugh Fernely." Her sister tried to soothe her with gentle words, but they brought no comfort.

She herself regarded her uneasiness as a sort of ingratitude and dullness of sensibility toward the great things that had been given her in her new life; and whenever she threw more energy than usual into her singing, it was the energy of indignation against the shallowness of her own content.

I do not know who told Marusya what kind of a chap Jacob was, and what he thought of her; but she hated him from the moment she first saw him, when he came to visit me. "He is a real savage," she would say. "I never saw such a Jew. I am simply afraid of him. I am afraid of those wild eyes of his. I detest him, anyway." That is what she used to tell me.

At night, we saw him returning without my father, who went into the country to search for the fugitive negroes.

It did really seem very kind of her, however, to put herself out in this way for two "Infants." "How many teachers are there?" Helen was asking. "And are they all as little as that Miss Picolet?" "Oh, she!" ejaculated Mary Cox, with scorn. "Nobody pays any attention to her. She's not liked, I can tell you."

Mebbe you folks think I don't appreciate you. If I was any good at writing I'd tell you different. "Your Son and Brother, "NAT HAYNES."

It's not in reason that a woman shouldn't cry, Luke felt.

There was something at last that he could say without falsehood. "She sent a prayer for your forgiveness," he said. "She told me to tell you to think of her as little as might be; not to grieve for her too much, and to try to forget her, so that her sin also might be forgotten."
