Far to the north went, a dim Hue of blue hills. To the north, half a mile, the village, with its new, small, unattractive dwelling bouses its one church and one store. To the I east, a few waiter!ng farm bouses, about bkLwhich are fields of corn, fully ripe.

She dro**4H like a little queen." "Where did thoy como from, Lllllef" asked Eva White, a girl with sparkling black eyes and slightly curling hair. "From the east New York. I think," replied LI I lie. "Han your fairy a human name," asked Kva. cm "Kline is her name. It la net a human name, it la French but her lust name la

"Oh yes, sh« is not a bit proud. And say, girls, !,,»1 you heard of the other new arrival*?" "Who?" •'Hrlggs Im the naino. The fetiiiH3" consists of an old man, arid a girl a little larger than I am. They enme from aouthoHMt of bore a long way, whore the old man worked on a cattle rancho. They have taken that little old farmhouse where Hank Jones u«ed to live." "That old house!" "Yea and the girl dresses In the most hideous way." "Are they very poor?" asked Anna •Spears, the youngest of the group, a modest, shy girl, with a plain face, straight brown hair, and soft, tender, brown even. "No, think not they say the old man has some money laid by, with which he hopes to educate the girl. But she seems to have no taste or rellnettient." "Has she no mother?" timidly asked little Anna again. "No she and her father keep house Oh! here she comes! Ellse, I mean."

As she spoke a pretty, graceful little girl appeared, In a dainty dress of blue and white, with long yellow curls ban lug down her back. So lair and (res she seemed, so lightly and airily she moved, they could almost fancy there had floated down to them a bit of blue sky and white clouds, with the golden sunbeams resting on it.

In the group. Soon there appeared, coming from the Irection of the old house known as the Jones house, a tall, bouy girl, with loose, brown gingham drees, hanging in wkward folds about her ungainly form. She swung an old aunbonnet by the string as sho came awkwardly and hesl tatlngly forward. She felt that many yurlous and unsympathliting eyes were upon her, and her own were persistently averted. Her large feet were clad in coarse, thick shoes her rough, brown haJhds were hare her coarse, black hair idy In straight, flat locks against her nock and, as she came forward, a dull (lush slowly crept into each dark cheek. JPor a while she hesitated on tho outskirts of tho assembled troup, and then, /.browing her head slightly back, while ho dull ml in her cheeks crept all over er face, she turned her eyes— fathom'•as eyes of dark grey—full on the group

A girls of which Rllse Randolph was the center, and walked rapidly toward them. "O girls! she is coming dlrectlv to*rd us! What does she mean?" said lie, in a disappointing tone. l^et's take no notice of her," said Eva, rnfully. "Oh, that would not be right, would iy girls?'* hastily asked tender-hearted Ittle Anna, as the glrinirew very near,

Just at that moment the bell rang, and he pupils all went noisily into the School-house. The last to enter was the trail go girl just arrived. She hesitated st inside the door, and looked around room with a frightened glance, then it at the door toward her home, with a vistfui look, and then at the teacher in id Inquiring way. "Sti down there," he said, "until I am eady to talk you.** She obeyed ilently.

When all were in their place**, and the 00m was quiets the teacher spoke to WiHO. "Oouie her«, little gtrl.M

And the little girl returned to bssr at, the recipient of many approving iancw.

The teacher then motioned to the .her strange girl to approach. She went with hesitating stepa and v«s that looked at th# floor, at toe ««il» ntg. at the farMi-hou** visible through window, at her own hands hut not the t««ch«r*» face.

Besides, it was four miles* to the clostes school-house, and dad wus afeard for me to go by myself." "You bav6 been taugfct to read at home?*' "No sir. Dad can't read. He come here on purpose for me to git some sehooUitV "I suppose you are glad he did.' "No sir. I'd ruther not come to school cause I don't know nothin' but dad. wants me to, and I'd do anything for him,"

The last statement was made with great earnestness, and the large grey eyes were for the first time turned Mr. Thomas. "That will do,"besaid,"you may take yonr place over there," moving his hand toward a double row of seats, where the least pupils sat.

The girl caught the sneer on many faces as she moved to obey, and, setting pale lips together, she took a rapid, heavy strides to the front of the row, then hesitated. There was a vacant seat beside Elise and, drawing her pretty skirts to one side, she motioned to the seat beside her and looked up at Mime with a welcoming smile. The stern lips telaxed, began to quiver, and great tears rolled dpwn her cheeks. She took the proffered seat, and leaning her head on her arm—poor, friendless, homesick girl -wept bitterly, nor dried her tears until play time.

I Jagging behind the others, as tbey went gaily out to their play, she had gone but a few steps from the door, when a scornful voice just behind her ear, said, "Hello, Mime! Don't you think you'd better go home to your da-a-d?" Once more tfcat dull red overspread her faoe, but without a word or a glance backward she walked slowly on.

Again the taunting voice said, mimicing her peculiarities of language, "How soon do you think you'll get enough schoolin' to teach your da-a-a to read?"

She did not glance round not a mus cle of her face moved there was scarcely a break in her slow, heavy walking, but there was a quick, backward moyement of her foot and Waker Kent, ber tormenter, quickly and not very gracefully measured his length on the ground.

A peal of laughter from a dozen boys, who had witnessed the scene, added to Walter's auger at his fall and rising, with Hashing eyes, he said, "It is always dangerous to go up behind a mule."

At this the girl turned quickly, and the Hash of fearless anger in her eyes was not pleasant to see. But ere she had uttered a word, two dainty, soft, white hands clasped her large,* rough, brown one, two kindly blue eyes looked into the flashing grey ones, and Elise Itandolpit's gentle voice said, "It was awfully rude of him, but let it go. He was not a gentleman, but you will be a ladv."

Slowly the anger died out of her lace, and kneeling beside Ellse, she pressed the lily hands to her lips and said, "If they wus all like you, I wouldn't never git mad. I waut to be a lady."

You live near me don't you?" said Elise, taking no^beed of the silent but scornful group around them. "Do you live In the large stone house? "Yes, and we must go home together every evening, and come together every morning. I am so glad I shall not have to come alone."

Both girls noted the look on the faces of Llllle Kent aud Eva White, as they sauntered away from the spot and saw them soon, the center of a group of girls —for thoy were great favorites—and snatches of their excited conversation reached Jemima and Elise, who soon knew, that to their aversion and di

isgus islike

for Jemima, was added strong dis amounting almost to hatred. Walter Kent was a fun-loving, teasing boy, qulok to become angry and quick to forget his cause of anger caring little for the feelings of others, and yet nurs ing no malice. His sister, quieter, regarding more the rights of others whom she considered her equals, bad a vindictive temper, and when her anger was roused it was not easily appeased. And so it happened that when Walter was ready to tease Jemima on friendly ground, his sister had for her onl soornful treatment, looks of hatred am words of angry oontempt.

As they wore the leaders of the school Jemima found herself with ouly one friend, Elise. This fact only added to tho dislike tho other girls bore her, as all desired the favor of the fair haired little Ellse. Admired and petted by all. she vet persisted in ker friendship toward Jemima. This, and her great loye for hor father, gave Jemima courage to bear the taunts of the boys and the scornful treatment of the girls. They ridiculed ber language, her face, her manners, her dress. A faded rou and green plaid shawl, which she wore when the cold days came 011, became an object of especial ridicule. The girls dubbed her "plaldy," and Walter, whom not even the presence of Elise could in any way degree repreas, greeted her one morning with, "I say, Plaidftr, was your great, great grandmother a person of note? That shawl of hers you wear would indicate that she was at least very wealthy."

I dou't remember her," said Mime, quietly, and not even Ellse guessed what a source of torment that shawl was to her.

One morning, when It was but little colder than usual, Mime appeared with ample additions to her apparel. Ovnr the old plaid shawl she wore a large mantle of heavy coarse cloth, a faded dull purple over her faded blue hood, which, judging from ita staft, Must have been bought when she was but seven, she wort* an old, frayed brown scarf and over her red mittens, her last present from "Ole Sail," she wore leathern mittens, evidently her father's.

Walter, the irrepressible, flung himself on the frcaen ground when he saw her, and feigned a hysterical fit of laugh tor. Then rising, and advancing t« meet her, he bowed low, and said, "Hall to thee, queen of Sheba! I veil my eyes from thy dawtling apparel. What word has thou for thy ftervant, this morning?**

colder." Bat had the pupils watched him more closely, they might have seen him watch tho sky anxiously through the day and grow nervous in th« afternoon at the rapid fall in temperature and rise of tiie 'Wind. A little before four, a line driving snow set in, which made the wind blinding. At four, as Mr. -Thomas was glancing anxiously from his watch to the blinding storm without, a man from the village came with a supply of extra wraps for the girls and most of the boys. He bade them follow him as rapidly as they could, for the cold outside was intense and the storm was furioas. Be, Mr. Thomas, and the larger boys, each took a small girl by the hand and off they started for the village.

As all were well wrapped, and the distance not great, they managed to keep up their spirits by their numbers, and to keep up circulation by rapid motion

Just as they, entered the village, Mr. Thomas, who was in front, stopped and faced them with an excited face, and looked from one

Here boys," speaking to his son and Walter Kent, "you be sure that all the £irls and little Ben Willis are at home aefore you go in. Now, Mr. Thomas, I am ready."

Back they went through the cold and storm, heeding it not, thinking only.of the fair, frail little creature out in the pitiless storm, perhaps lost, benumbed and exhausted, lying on the frozen ground, with her yellow curls tossed by the cold, cruel blast, and ber white face upturned to the pitiless snow.

On they went, past the school-bonne and across the prairie toward the to lie bouse which, as yet, the storm hid from view, straining their eyes to catch a glimpse of a little form in the fast gathering winter darkness. On and on until the light in the stone house could be dimly seen through the storm and darkness. "Do you think it possible she might have reached homo?'' asked Mr. Norton. 'I think it much more likely that she is lost, and if so, she mustbesoou found or it will be too late. But we will go to the house and inquire."

Yes, and I must get a little warmth before I again face this storm, or it will prove too much for me."

What is this?" and Mr. Thomas stooped to examine something that lay in bis way. "It is she. Thank heaven we have found her! It cannot yet be too late." And gathering the still bundle in his arms, he started with as rapid strides as bis benumbed limbs were able to made, toward the house in front of them. Just then, a woman's hysterioal cry, a man voice, husky with emotion. "What, Tom, Elise lost in this storm. Oh! that I had returned an hour soonerraUay and look after my wife. Imusfr^l" And out in the gleam of light from the open door be came to receive Elsie in his arms almost on the threshold. "Thank God!" he said fervently, "my darling is found. Come In my good friends."

Ellse, in the warm, cosy room, with all necessary attention, soon snowed signs of returning consciousness. The father had removed her cold wraps, and as he flung them aside, they attracted Mr. Thomas' attention. Taking no note of the dainty cloak of dark blue plush or the pretty bonnet of the same, be snatched up a frayed brown scarf and a wrap of coarse purple cloth. He could not be mistaken. They were the same he had seen Mime wear in the morning, and which bad been so ridiculed. Dropping them suddenly be turned to Mr. Norton with the same frightened look that he had worn In the edge of the village, and ejaculated, "Mime Briggs!"

At the name Elise wearily opened ber eyes and said in a low tone that sounded far away, "Poor Mime! She was the only one that remembered me when I stood there alone, afraid to oome out in the storm she was the only one that helped me she was the only one that cared! She led me until I got so cold—and then I got sleepy, and she carried me dear, good Mlmel and talked to me, and beg id me not to go to sleep, and told me should soon see mamma. And then she wrapped me warm, and I so wanted to go to sleep. Then at last she put me down, poor, tired Mime! and shook me a little, and showed me the light, and told me I waa nearly home, and I must try to get here. Then she kissed me and pushed me away from hor, and said she would try to come too. I saw the light and I heard Tom call me far away and I tried to come, but 1 waa too sleepy. And I am—sleepy—now." She closed her eyes for a momeut, then rising with a start sho said, "Papa, papa, where is she? Where is Mime? Didn't she oome? Is she out in the cruel, cruel storm? Asleep In the awful storm!"

The father preraed his child to his heart for a moment and then went to join Mr. Thomas and Mr. Norton hi their search.

A long time they hunted, nntlt it eeemed they had traversed all the ground for a mile around. At intervals they went In to warm their numbed limbs, and twice went to Mime's home, to find it dark and empty.

At last whan the gray of the bitter wintry morning had just begun to creep into the black new of the storm and they saw a form before them. Approaching they saw an old man, a stalwart, ironframed man, slightly bent, and quite trey. Re looked up with a white, pitiful face as they came np,aadaaid, "Long hours I*ve hunted.

BETTER MOTHERS UNEDUCATED!

DO THEY MAKE THAN THE

Frances Fisher Wood Rclieres in Higher Education—She Says the Educated Mother's Sables Idvo When the Ijpnorant Mother's Babies Die. Mrs. Frances Fisher Wood, a college graduate well known in philanthropies! and educational as well as social circles of New York, has made an exhaustive study of the subject and finds as the result of her investigations that a greater proportion of tho children of college bred women survive infancy than do those of the mothers lacking tjhe scientific training of college life. "I know it is constantly argued," Mrs. Wood asserts, "that common sense and not science is the most valuable capital for a mother, and that experience and not theory is the safe guide in matters maternal, but I venture to disagree with this oft repeated dictum. "The average woman has experience in plenty and common sense without experience, but she is not scientific—not susceptible to new truths. Experience has no accepted standard by which to judge of its results. It is merely what Mrs. Smith did fifty years ago, or what Mrs. Brown said yesterday. More than likely neither said what was true. Besides, deriving general rules from individual cases is fallacy.

WHAT MBS. WOOD SAYB.

"Why should I wish to know how old Mrs. Brown fed her babies years ago, or how Grandmother Smith cued for hers, when in the quiet of my own library I can ascertain from the greatest living authority in the care of children the whole scienoe of infant dietary and glean the best experience and conclusions of all the world's greatest intellects along the line of infant theories?" "And do you think all this scientific knowledge would help a mother to quiet a crying baby, fretting with colic, as well aa the soothing care of the old fashioned grandmother?" "Oh, not I mean that scientific knowledge teaches a mother that there is no need of having crying babies or allowing them to fret with colic. My baby never cries and doesn't know anything about the colic, though tradition declares that crying is beneficial nud a sign of intelligence, since 'the child who never cries is a fool,' and that colic and pains are natural incidents to babyhood. The mothers of experimental knowledge go on dosing their babies as their mothers did before them, accepting the colic more resignedly than the baby does as a necessary evil.

Scientific mothers investigate and find out that tbey are feeding the colic to their babies by introducing myriads of destructive microbes into tho stomach in the milk and water tbey give them, or are slowly starving them upon the 'natural food' they supply, and which they are unable to learn by analytical examination lacks, as it frequently does, the necessary elements of nutrition.

TWO METHODS COMPARED.

"There is another tradition that the dreaded second summer of babyhood is a more critical period than the first summer, and that the summer season is to be feared any way. I traveled with my baby all the first summer after he was born, fed him the much derided artificial food, and he was never sick a day or an hour. Science taught me that the summer illness of children was due to the presence of greater numbers of microbes in the food, and to be sure that such microbes were destroyed before they fed upon the intestinal organs of the child, and also before they had exhausted .the richness of the milk I gave him.n'. V"" "Science teaches me, too, that the second summer of a child properly nourished should be and Is less franght with danger than the first, because statistics show thai with every month of existence a child's hold on life is strengthened. Of course I meet with considerable opposition from mothers whose faith in the old superstitions is genuine and intense. "A lady, after asking in detail about my system with my baby, said severely, 'When you lose your toby, as you undoubtedly will before he is a year old, you will regret having been so self willed.' And when I explained to her that I did nothing except with the counsel and consent of my husband, who is a physician, she said scornfully, "What do men know about babies? One old woman is better than five doctors.' Such being the case, I suggested, it seemed strange that no woman or mother bad made any valuable contribution to th« world's knowledge on the care of infants. "The standard authorities on infant physiology are men and physicians the beat works on infant psychology are by men the most valuable book on children's education Is by a man and a bachelor, Herbert Spencer the only rational drees for a baby designed by a man, Dr. Grosvenor, and the sterilizing of infants' food was discovered and perfected by Soxlet, a m&n and a scientist."

EDUCATE OIKL8 DtFFKBENTLT. But it is impossible for all women to acquire a collegiate education."

Yes and tor that very reason we need a revision In our system of public education. We should cut down to the vanishing point the time our girls spend on ornamental studies, rid ourselves of mechanical, parrot like recitations, rote learning, all striving for marks and prises, and train the minds of girls who may eventually become mothers In habits of careful observation and logical deduction that their ha a an it is doing in emergency. There la to me no crime of our prneiat civilization which so ottos out against the women who call theamelTtK educated aa the death in the United Stairs of more than an annual 400,000 children at an age when tbey are directly under the mother's ears."

Finally, as a closing and con viadfig argument to ber theory, there came unto Mra. Wood's parlor a healthy, happy #ped» a of scientific babyhood, who rapturously greeted this scientific woman as "mam." Happy child of a happy mother.

In his tweoty two months of babyhood he has never known the torture of colic, goes to timp at night and never wakens until morning, cuts his teeth with aa iitUs my and suffering as a small kitten, contracts ao infantile diseases, suocamba to no Infantile dlsord^re, and dees not po» riodteaily upset equtEbriam of the entire family at intervals of two or three dags by being mysteriously ram,** after the manner of unericntiflc tM&y tyrants.
