A shadow fails on the school-room floor, and she looks up at the hand some figure, tall and manly, at the handsome face, brown and beard ed. There is an unwonted wist- fulness in the sparkling dark grey eyes to-day. “You are early, Philip.” “As early as possible, Elsie.” “And is everything ready so soon?” she answers quickly. Tiicn a shad ow flics over her face as she remem bers that Eva cannot go—that Philip cannot stay; remembers that there must always lie a dark er side, but she will not inar the pleasure of the first day. “Kisie—Poor, kind Miss Grey, tlio tender-hearted neighbors say, but to us she is the same Klsio we saw on this ‘same vine-covered porch so long . ago—but sadly changed.- Changed! Yes changed; but why should we say sadly? Ki sic of nineteen was very beautiful I only wail for—one—answer.”! brave and noble 11s she put away The brown eyes are veiled, and the brown head droops. “What docs your heart say Elsie?” “Say, ‘what does iny conscience say,’ Philip.” “What does your conscience say. Elsie?” “Your mother and sisters need you. My mother and sister need me. Your work is there, mine is here.” Side by side they go out. into the bright sunlight, side by side they go down the lime, but neither speaks Until they reach the end. Philip tukes both small hands in his own, and looks long into the brown eyes, but their depths have no ahndow of wavering or turning away. Then lie asks: “Is it best?” And is answered: “It is best,” as she puts the faded forget- me-not in his hand. Davis & Callaway I -HAVING LATELY PURCHASED TIIE- The house is old and brown-,djfl- crcnt from the ordinary farmhouse only in that look of quiet rcstfnl- ncss that plainly says: “I am more than a house—1 am a home.” On the long, vinc-covcrcd porcli stands a slight, graceful girl. Her slen der hands rest on [the railing, and she leans slightly forward. The brow is contracted, the mom!) com pressed ns if in pain. The brown eyes nrc looking toward the 'gold and crimson of a summer sunset, but see it not. The waving, brown hair is carelessly brushed from the smooth, white forehead, and the sunshine entangled in its tangled meshes make a halo for the sweet, I sad face. Not a muscle moves, only the lines of the luce grow I deeper, and the breath conic more i thick and fast.

Through the open window conies a thin, weak voice: • “Elsie, Elsie, have you come?" The girl starts, looks hurriedly around, then she stoops for books and basket, und a cheery voice an swers, “Coming, mamma,” but one that is strangely low and calm adds: “And 1 urn coming* to stav.V Ab, child, the strife of love and duty is a bitter one, but who can regret its coming when it only makes a brave, true life and a strong, pure soul, braver and truer, stronger and purer? Eartli has her martyrs still, aye, many more than we can ever know. “Your papa and Kva walked down to the store, thinking you would soon come. Von are fate ■ to-night, Elsie.” “No, not late coming, only so careless ns to forget. Wish you had called sooner; 1 was on the porch.” Deft hands made the sick room fresh and tidy, while her cheerful talk coaxes a smile to the suffering mother’s face. “There, they have come, and you will have 1 company while I go s«c about the | supper.” • _ Ere the letters arc read (this is White Goode, Eto., i tta one maiMuy -or the week) Elsie calls: “Supper!

JOHN WINDSOR, ARE DAILY ADDING TO THE SAME THE ! LATEST PATTERNS AND DESIGNS; Dress flows, Somes tics, Sheetings and AMI HJiXMBAit, Again the children arc trudging homeward, again the summer sun shine comes ir. at the open door, again tile tcneiicr sits quietly at her desk,- but site is not waiting now—not listening for a well re membered footstep—not watching for a shadow on the floor. Usual ly mind, heart and hand arc busy witli to-day’s work, but this stolen reverie belongs to tlio long ago - Shc sketches year after year of what has been, to tlic world,an un common-place life. Old maids’ lives are always common-place to tlie world, and may it not be be cause tlio heart that is strong enough to live alone is strong enough to hide its sorrows. Then she arranged her books just as she bad done for so many years, while the sivcel voice: of • o)d -koftly repeats Whittier's beautiful lines: ‘Still fiiitli will trust anil lovo rlream on. Tlnil somewhere,soiiiiiUuw moot we must. She was not wutebing for n shadow on the floor, nevertheless the shadow comes, and in the door. No, she 'must be dreaming, and yet what a vivid dream it is. How plain she sees and hears it all. The great joy shining in the face, the ont*‘:etched arms, tlie glad voice that says: “After ail these years I have come to claim my own.” The startled dreamer looks like chiseled marble and answers not. lie comes a step nearer and ques tions: “Kva said 1 would tini Elsie here; are you Elsie Grey?” Slowly the color comes to the pule, pale face—slowly, yes, very, very slowly, and, in a vague, bewildered way, she answers: “Yes, I am Eisio Grey, and you are Philip Manchester. We arc the same, yet not tlio .same. On, Philip! tell rao all about it.” “Eva said wo must come to her that we might rejoice together. Shall we rejoice?” “Let us go now.” She turns him a radiant face mid I’hilip is content. Oil the threshold lie pauses to say: “The old house is little changed; limn lias touched it gently.” “Yes, but lie lias not dealt so kindly with you or me.” Again side by side they go down the lane, but not silently. Not si lent when both have so much to say. First of tbc eight years that were not long because every month brought to each letters full-weight ed with love and loving plans of the future; then of that all impor tant letter that “did not come.” all that love could oiler and took in exchange the stern, practical re alitios of duly—but is Klsicof fifty less beautiful, brave or noble for having struggled wiLii mid con qitercd thorn? On the contrary can years spent as those'have bcfcri ever liavo a face other than beaut! fill? Why .should, silken,.silvery hair be less beautiful than cluster ing lirowu curls? If the brown eyes have lost some brightness, nr they less lender or truthful? I not the plain, sombre garb of mourning as becoming as was the bright, clicerlui one of youth? A rosy cheeked bov comes up the patli und stops beside her. “Miss Elsie, mother said would you Come nail stay all night, ’cause you arc lonesome here npd ’cause the baby is sick. I brought tlio mail—-noth ing but a paper.” “Yes, Johnnie, I will go becauso the baby is sick, not because I 1 am lonely.” Sho stoops to kiss the child as she says: “Only two more weeks and I will nevor again be alone.” Baby was sick, very sick. Not until early morning did lie sleep, and not until then (lid Elsie look at her paper. Eagerly her eyes scan column after column for the mark ed passages thnt were sure to be in every paper Philip sent. Now she has come to the “Deaths.” Slowly site grasps the manning of tlio two lines, then she wanders out under tlio stars, across tlio dewy fields, on und on to the dark old church and the gleaming marble. And there they found tier asleep when i l was morning. Loving hands carried her away; loving hands car ried her back at evening. At tho grave there was not one mourner made such by tics of blood, but her sweet and virtuous womanhood made mourners of nil; and when the last prayer hnd been said null the now-mudo mound covered with fresh green turf, they still stood in groups and talked ol the good she had done. “Baby would ’a’died last night,” said poor Mrs. Green, between her sobg, “hut fur her blessed ungel as she was in sickness and cvcij where.
