The mother was startled by Beulah's psychical gifts because she noticed two years ago that when the family was playing “Old Maid” Beulah always knew in whose hands the dangerous queen was to be found. Then they began to experiment with cards in the family circle, and her ability to know of what the mother or the sister was thinking became more and more interesting to them.
Let him shut his door to-night, and let him see if he is not already inside one of the gates of Beulah. Let him deny himself every day also, if it is only in a very little thing. Let him say sternly to his own heart every hour of temptation, No! never! and on the spot a sweet waft of Beulah's finest spices will fall upon his face.
Peter, whose habit it was to walk up and down endlessly wherever he felt most at home, paused in his peregrination, as Margaret shyly gathered the rough little head to her bosom. The child met his gaze as he did so. "We weren't quite up to scratch," he said gravely. Beulah's eyes filled. "Peter," she said, "Peter, I didn't mean to be not to be " But Peter seemed not to know she was speaking.
There is but a poor fire in the front parlor suppose you sit down in the back room. Mrs. Martin will be down in a minute." The first object which arrested Beulah's attention was a center table covered with books. "Perhaps," thought she, "they will permit me to read some of them." While she sat looking over the titles the rustle of silk caused her to glance around, and she saw Mrs.

She had always seemed to consider herself Beulah's special guardian and friend, and gave continual proof of the strength of her affection.
"Miss Benton, suffer me to introduce my cousin, Miss Dupres," said Cornelia very coldly. The young lady just inclined her head, and proceeded to scan Beulah's countenance and dress, with a degree of cool impertinence which was absolutely amusing.
Beulah's good for something better than a place to hide in! We'll have to save every penny at first, of course, but in three or four years Gilly and I ought to be earning something." "The trouble is, I can't earn anything in college," objected Gilbert, "though I'd like to." "That will be the only way a college course can come to you now, Gilbert," his mother said quietly.
