That includes breakfast and supper," answered Mrs. Forbush. "Lunch you provide for yourself." "That will be satisfactory," said Phil.

"I will come some time to-morrow."
It had been recently branded, and over the "U.S." was a plain "D.B." I waited for the man's companion to put in an appearance, but he did not come, and my conclusion was that he was secreted outside of the city with the rest of the animals. Presently the black mule belonging to Forbush was put up at auction. Now, thought I, is the time to do my work.
Your uncle is fairly infatuated." Just then Mrs. Forbush entered, followed by her daughter. She was no longer clad in a shabby dress, but wore an elegant toilet, handsome beyond her own wishes, but insisted upon by Uncle Oliver. "I am glad to see you, Lavinia," she said simply. "This is my daughter."

"And that seems a great sum to us." "It would be little enough to Mrs. Pitkin," said Julia, who felt that lady's prosperity unjust, while her poor, patient mother had to struggle so hard for a scanty livelihood. "Oh, yes; Lavinia is rolling in wealth," sighed Mrs. Forbush. "I can't understand how Uncle Oliver can bestow his favors on so selfish a woman."
These things are the darkest blot on the honor of youth. Associations for youth, devised or guided by adults. Here we enter a very different realm.

Philip rang the bell, and the two were admitted into the humble parlor. They had not long to wait for Mrs. Forbush, who, with an agitation which she could not overcome, entered the presence of her long estranged and wealthy uncle.
"He is certainly treating me very well," said Phil, smiling. "He has paid me twenty dollars in advance." "Then the age of wonders has not passed," said the widow.

"Me!" exclaimed Mrs. Forbush, in great surprise. "What can he know about me?"
She had had difficulty in making her monthly payments, but to move would involve expense, and it might be some time before she could secure boarders in a new location. "You can't do better," said the landlord. "At fifty dollars a month this is a very cheap house." "You mean forty-five? Mr. Stone?" said Mrs. Forbush. "No, I don't," said the landlord.
Just then the front door was heard to open; there was a sound of steps in the hall, and Phil came hurriedly into the room. Mr. and Mrs. Pitkin exchanged looks of surprise and dismay; but Mrs. Forbush, her daughter and Uncle Oliver looked delighted. "Where have you been, Philip?" asked Mr. Carter, breaking the silence.
