"Mark!" Tho clear, sharp voice of tho speaker suddenly broke up handsomo Mark Oak loy's roverio, and ho gave an impatient start as he turned and scowled at the tall, prim lady who stood in the walnut framed doorway lilea some staid Quaker in her modest gray lobes.
What do you want now, Hester?" I want you," placidly replied Hester, who was an old maid, and the torment and terror of her handsome young broth or's life.
Me? I wish you would not bother me, Hester. I can't see what I can do for you."
Mark threw himself back on tho lounge and fixed his great brown eyes ou a painting that hung above the mantel—a painting that oould not fail to attract attentiou for it was a picture of a young girl, with mild blue eyes and pale yellow hair, that shone as if lightly touched with sunshine. Her small hands were filled with clusters of roses, and thin scarlet lips half-parted in a smile that seemed to glorify the whole face.
I think vou have stared at that picture long enough," went on Hester, following tho direction of Mark's eyes. "Come up stairs and help Philiis and I move the furniture from the west to the east room."
Mark knew of old that to hear was to
lazily proceed to follew Hester upstairs. You spinsters havo tho knack of making work, I believe. You are eternallv upsetting something and I'm bored to death with your work, work, rork!"
Hester paused on the upper landing, and looked down Into the pleasant, noil-
mSifid with lurnitiTn^ami "halant face of hor Adonis like brother, the piazza crowded with turnUure.and
all was a scene of confusion. So dinner was to be seen, and Mr. B. was about to hasten to a restaurant, when he thought of some verv valuable papers which he had carelessly left upon his desk.

I have labored for you all my life, Mark," she said, a little sorrowfully. "Where Is the money to oome from to finish your studies, if I don't take a boarder now and then." "Oh, boarder, is It?" yawned Mark, not tho least disturbed by Hester's remarks. "What is it thle timo—man or woman

Mark fiad made beautiful women the study of hW life. Few men as young in years could as readily detect a flaw in a face others considered perfect.

think of It. He onterod the parlor one evening ftijri found Mrs, Gray seated before tho Ore, a look ol serene oontont in her beautiful oves. She was pleasant, and more dis posed to be talkative thau usual, and al most lefcro he was aware of the fact, Mark had burst out into a passionate declaration.
Mrs. Gray roee to hor feet, growing very white aud sorrowful. Hester warned mo of this," she murmured, holding tightly to tho back of a chair for support. ".Warned you of what exclaimed Mark, flushing to the roots of his curly brown hair. "That you—thought—I was a widow,blurted out Minnie, half inclined to cry. "What are you, then? Not a wile, surely Mark's lino eyes lit with sudden hope. Wrhat if she was not married "Oh, Millie," ho broke out again, "don't say you're married."
Indeed I am and to aa good a man as ever lived," cried Millie. "It's all a mistake I have no right to listen to au avowal of love from any man. My sister Alice married my husband's brother. Sbfl is a widow—not I—and, oh, Mr. Oaklev. I'm so sorry." Millie held out her hand, in a spirit of contrition, or the real sorrow in Mark's face grieved her. But Mark refused to take it, and strode out of tho room, very soro at heart, muttering:
A wife! And Hester knew it all tho time." He left homo next morning, and Millie Gray looked after him, with pitying eyes.
I'm sorry I over came, Hester." "Nonsenso!" snapped heaft tloss Hestor. "It will do him good."
And it did. For Mark gave up flirting, and eamo out of collego a man worth winninur.
Five years aftor, ho proposod to wid ow Alice Gray, who did not answer that ahe was already a wife, but whisperd "yos" after tho most approved style.

There was on#e a wretched little unpainted schoolhouso, that stood in a sand-bank all summer, and in a snowbauk all winter, waiting for a strong north wind to blow it over.
Say, what will you sell that schoolhousofor?'' asked a travolerof a little boy, who stood on one foot oa tho rickety door-etcp.
For a bunch of matehea," answered the little bov, aa quick aa a theeght. The man laughed, and rode oil. The boy was Kimball Price, tho rogue of the town of Rkoodac, District Number Three, and the try-pati«nee of all his teachers. He was a handsome lad, ten years old. I don't moan that he waa always ten but that was his ago wheu Miss'Pentecost whipped him, and there la where ouretory begin*.

He thought that was enoagh, and it wss what tho boys call "a square thing but at night, as be was running out ol the schoolhouse, whistling, Miss Pentecost called him up to her desk.

"She says it lamed her arm," said Kim, hanging his head. "She says she can't do it for nothing, and if I don't bring it, she'll have to send me home."
Mrs. Price looked down at the curly haired culprit with a twinkle of fun in her oves,—«ho had black eyes, very much like Kim's.
Well, sonny, go got my purse out of the end cupboard. If I am poor, it shan't bo said I don't do all I can for my children's education."
Kim brought the purse—a red worsted ono, with steel rings. Yes, here is a silver quarter, with the pi liars on it. Wo areout of gingerbread, and I was going to spend it for molasses: but never mind. I don't blame Miss Pentecost. I know it was hard work to whip you, and sho do serves the money."
Thank you, Kimball," said Miss Pentecost, In a low voice, when she received the bright now quarter. "Didn't yoHr mother think I deserved it?" "Yes'm," replied the boy, his chin sinking into tne hollow place in his
