ways late when I try to have anything tbat needs to be eaten as soon as its out of the As no reply came to this tirade Tracy turned impatiently toward a young lady who stood by the window looking dreamily forth upon the as though her soul was engaged in nobler things than as indeed it You might at least look at me Flor when I am talking to you said Or perhaps you think your fathers wife is beneath your If that ex from Boston should enter the room you would doubtless have enough to say to He and his lady mother seem to take all your time and V A deep flush suffused Florence Tracys beautiful face as she turned to ward her I that you should speak so resentfully to me Stewart and his mother are well worthy the regard of any intelligent And you would like to Flor I that an ignoramus like myself had better not take the liberty of even speaking of Florence Tracy closed her lips firmly lest she should give utterance to the an gry words that rose to Yee I know very well that the truth comes she said but I know too that I have toiled all these years only to be regarded as a when most women would have asserted their I have toiled with my own hands for your fathers and

took possession of Flor ence Tracys heart for she understood for the first time that underneath all the a womans heart was longing for sympathy and She turned to offer some appreciative but Tracy had taken ter ironing board and pone As she carefully covered it and put it away from the ii penitent look came into her and she murmured to herself I might have been more gentle with her for she is a dear child after all but I have grown EO over the past that I can scarce ly be just Tracy was a gentleman farmer of considerable owning a goodly tract of land in a populous aud product ive region of that lay within easy distance of a large city on the Ohio He was college but chose a rural life because he imagined it to be more conducive to health than any of the In his early man hood he married a beautiful girl who had won from him a depth of love and devotion that he hardly knew him self capable of The fruit of this union was a who inherited all her mothers About this time a girl came to them seeking Her name was Mary and she was so quiet and re served that they felt any inquiries into her past life would be considered by her an She proved her seli so competent and yet tractable that they soon found her almost ble to their From the time that her child was born Tracy be gan to fail in and month by month she and when her was three years old she went to the home taat awaited her in the heavenly man Mary Western was now eighteen jears old but so sedate that many gave her credit for possessing more Upon her fell the entire care of the child with all the household for Tracy gave himself up to the most overwhelming grief and took note of what was around As days and weeks passed on Mary rn discovered that affairs about the place were running at loose ends and when she found that could not bring himself to any degree of inter est she boldly took matters in her own She procured a trusty man to oversee the numerous band that had only been doing half and arranged that he should occupy the comfortable tenant house on another part of the cloud was lifting from his spirits and much to his astonishment he found that seasons had come and gone seed had been sown and golden harvests and his beautiful child had become the very image of the beloved wife gone Owing to Mary Westerns judicious care he also found that his cattle bad increased in numbers and his land in and there was an air of prosperity and thrift about He could not but feel deeply grateful to her for all and he felt that justice to her demanded that he should in some way repay her for her fidelity io How to do he scarcely until some idle rumor reached his ears that she had in curred the criticism of an uncharitable world by remaining at her post after hia wifes It is the sickly or mor bidly sensitive who care for idle and Tracy was extremely He saw that he should have shielded the faithful girl by giving her a corn par but the mischief was done and the best means must be found to undo In consultation with a friend upon the subject the suggestion was made that he marry her and so place her be yond the power of all Tracy shrank as from a The thought had his heart that another could take his Annas but the more he thought of it the more it seemed to be the only way out of the And came to look the ground over there was no reason why he should turn away from a union with one who had been so true to She was growing more attrac tive in her personal appearance year by and were she only his equal in education and culture he might indeed be proud of her as his But he fondly hoped that in case she accepted him that she would suffer him to lead her into higher paths of thought and to more enlarged views of When he offered himself to her he frankly told her all also that in a great measure his hr a t was in the grave with his but all that kindness and a sincere respect could do to make her he would surely promise to To most women this would have a Tery unsatisfac tory beginning of married but Mary Western had learned to love the broken hearted man for whom she had and she hoped in time to win a So they were Tracy made a great mistake early in his married life when he began to set intellectual tasks for his Her sturdy pride took offense and utterly declined his and Tracy turned his at tention to the education of Tiis daugh He was unvaryingly kind to his but her failure to accede to his wishes had raised a barrier been none the but had attributed the change to a sudden and rapid growth of Tracy finished her preparations for tea with a strangely lightened heart Already a new world opened before her and visions of happiness were not far Her manner at the table was so quiet and subdued that it attracted her husbands he mentally attributed it to one of her moods and dismissed it from Tiis thoughts said as rose from the table will you go with me to Curtis this evening to call who is pleased to my for I have met Stewart and her son several times as I have called in there on and I find them charming Would you care to accompany Mary said addressing his me this she so gently that Tracy turned back with a desire to urge her to changed his pur pose and passed out without farther Tracy waited to see them go out into the moonlight and turn away toward the beautiful house that be longed to their neighbor then she turned her footsteps in the other direction and sought the quiet home of To her she the story of her mis takes and how she had even prided her self on making the difference between herself and her polished 1 He saw that she was physically overtaxing herself with household but no amount of persuasion could in duce her to assistant My brain is but my hands are she answered him once with grim hu as he tried to persuade her to lis ten to He turned left her to her own If he had only looked in my eyes as I have seen him look in she with in finite Bat no I was his housekeeper and now he would educate me for his because I am not fit to stand by his side in society till I know more about books and the I am good enough to be his servant and I will be it And to this strange resolution she had adhered all these Most of the time she had gone quietly to all ap while her heart was seething within But of late there as tonight when the sorrow and pain came for thin bitter words that burned as they fell upon her words re of as as She was thinking it all over as she went into the kitchen to prepare the evening she stood before the spotless which hung a little and glancing for the first time in her remembrance she took an interested view of her feat There was a charm about that she was compelled to acknowledge to though it was conceded without a shade of wavy brown deep a fair complexion where the radiant flush of youth hod not entirely faded a slender a little above the medium height a sweet tremulous mouth as it was moved by the hidden For the first time Tracy was fied with herself and the course she had She
