The two chairs . were wiped . free from dust, the tiny stove shone with newly applied ‘•Angelus,” coat of blacking, and thechromo pinned against the wall over the wooden mantle, gave an air of reflue ment to the sloping-roofed apartment. Katherine and Pearl Playfair were all alone in the world. Their father had been a hard-worked bank-clerk, who found it impossible to save a cent before Death presented its account and bank rupted him at once. Their few distant relatives had dis tinctively given them to understand, that “blood wa3 not thicker than water,” and for more than a year these two brave youug girls had fought their own battle with the world. . Katie was a “trimmer and finisher” in a fashionable dressmaking establishment, Pearl was errand girl aud generally ful hand at Miss Thorburn's famous mil linery. “Next year,” she said, brightly, “I can go into the show rooms aud get a dollar a week more wages! And won’t I be rich?” But when Katie’s dreadful cold deep ened into a cough, aud the doctor said she must uot leave her room, Pearl fouud her twelve dollars a month sadly iosufli cient to meet all exigencies. The good doctor spoke to the kind little druggist on the corner, who put the medicines down to cost price; the baker’s wife slipped in many an extra sponge-cake and Vienna roll among the frugal orders; the butcher saved his choicest bits of meat for beef tea—for every one in the neighborhood knew and sympathized with the Playfair girls. But things had to be paid for, never thelcss. And the tooth of poverty bites sharply. Pearl stood looking at Katie with solemn, questioning eyes. “That is what you always say, said she. “And I know your cough was bad last night.” “Did I disturb you, dear?” “It isn’t that. But, oh, Kate, to see you growing paler and thinner everyday —to know that you have to stay here so long—” “But I don’t stay alone, Pearl. Mrs. Nippert comes in often and little Smith.” ‘.‘And that isn’t the worst Of it, Katie, j The coal is out, and I can’t pay for any more until my Saturday night wages come in.” “It’s lucky that the sun shines in so bright,” said Katie, hopefully. “Never mind the coal, Pearl; I’ll cuddle down in bed, with the blanket shawl over me, and I’m sure Mrs. Nippert will make my CU P of tea 011 her st °ve when noon comes. a ' wa I s so thoughtful!” Pearl went to her work with a heavy heart. On the way she was joined by Joe Vail, the foreman of the box factory that supplied the patent receptacles in which Mr. Fitwell’s gowns were carried home to her customers, and in councils of war respecting splendid toilettes he had become acquainted with Katie. He was a dark-haired, swarthv-com plexioned young fellow, and his eyes sparkled as he saw Pearl Playfair. “How's your sister, Pearl?” said he. “No better? Oh, I’m sorry to hear it! say, my sister's come up from the old homestead to keep house forme this winter, and she brought a barrel of jolly Spitzenberg apples aud some home-made currant jelly. Would Katie try the jelly, do you think? Wouldn’t it do her I'll send my sister around if—” not find them absolutely fireiess. “And Katie thought Joe Vail hacl entirely gotten her,” thought she. “As if any one could forget Katie! ’ Miss Thorburn was very cross when last Pearl reached the store. Her best customer's carriage had been scon across the street at Mademoiselle Lavigny's rival store, and tho new Paris fashion plates were delayed in their arrival more thaii week, “L Pearl colored vividly, she. j ; ‘•It's a friend of my sister,” said “He only—” !

These two pretty young maids, in their pink and blue cashmere tea-gowds, their j flowing gold hair and dainty, red-heeled ' slippers encircled with enibroid ery—how wistfully Pearl looked at them as she crept quietly away in her^ patched boots, her faded cloth jacket, which had come down to her from Katie, and her poor little knitted Tam O’S'aanter cap! How nice it must be to be rich!” thought she. “Let’s have a look at the hat, Flo,” said Paula—“right here in the dining room,-where the beveled mirror is. Au drey never lets us see her pretty things.” Fiorine opened the box. “Oh, isn't it exquisite!” she cried, “All rosebuds, with strings of pink faille, and the sweetest jeweled poniard stuck diamonds, through Paula, the side! only Rhine-stonea?” Are they real or “Rhine-stones, of course!” said sage Paula. “Who ever, heard of real dia monds with a thirty-dollar bonnet? But isn’t it a beauty? Let us try it on, Flo. Oh, take care!” For, in handing it across the table, Fiorine had dropped it. The effort to recover it only succeeded in overturning a tall flask of Bordeaux sadad oil upon the rosebuds and pink faille. Flo and Paula looked aghast at each other. “Hush!” cried the former. “Some one is coming. Put it back Intd the box, Paula. Take it up to Audrey’s room. She'll think it was an accident, Oh, how could you be so careless?” “I wasn’t careless,” spattered indig nant Paula. “It was your fault as much as it was mine. What will Audrey say?” "Two hours later the reception bonnet was brought back to Miss Thorburn by Audrey Densel herself in an olive plush lined carriage, attended by a French maid, and Pearl Playfair was summoned at once. She came, innocent and eager, only to be angrily dismissed from the establish mebjS, In vain were her protestations and entreaties. “If you didn't do it, stopping at some of your grocer-and-baker friends’ places,” cried Miss Thorburn, “who did? Do you suppose Miss Densel poured grease over her own reception hat? Silence, I say l Leave the house at once, and do not presume to ask for either wages or reference from me. I consider that I am treating vou with extreme kindness in not sending for a policeman.” Pearl weut home, feeling as if she were i in a dreadful dream. Her situation was gone, and without references how could ■ she expect to get another? And who would find wood or Are for Katie? ! The elder ■ sister listened to Pearl’s j piteous tale with dismay, but she put the j bravest possible front upon it. “Don’t sob'so, Pearl,” she soothed, “We shall not starve; something will happen to protect us, dear, don’t be j afraid. Who is that Mrs. Nippett is I talking to outside?” ; “It’s me—Janie Vail,” said a cheery, ' cordial voice, “with apples and soma ! home made jelly. Joe, my brother, says you are his friends. I may * coma in, mayn’t I?” And Janie entered, rosy and smiling, with a refreshing air of the country about her. “Oh, yes,” said she, nodding her head and glancing about the room, so cold, so cheerless, so neat, “nobody can expect to get well boxed up in the city this! That good woman outside tells me that the doctor recommends country air. I think, Miss Playfair,that if you will visit my mother at the old farm for a mouth we shan’t know you when you come back. I hope you like the country? Joe does. It’s Joe's highest ambition _ time to buy some a nine farm of his own. As for the little girl there,” nodding her head at Pearl, “she can' come and stay with me while you are gone, if she don’t waut to lose her place at the bonnet store.” Pearl hung her head. “I have no place now to lose,” said she. “I was discharged to-day?” Just then there was the sound of solid footsteps on the stairs and hard breath iug, as if the steep locomotion were ade eided effort—and in trudged Miss Thorn burn. s ! ie . $ he rasped. obe^mEr. “VIv clear it’s begSiu^’recom all via-ht ” said £r t , _ breath. ‘‘Miss Densel’s two little sisters came hard'as right back in the carriage, "They crying ‘had a3 ever they ctuld. beard what hard luck you had, and they confessed—dear little' things!—that W as all their fault.
