handing lottie a little box said there lovo you con wear those i in tended giving them to yon for yonr birth day but as you need them now it is just as well lottie opened the box the smile quickly fled and a look of great disappointment was on the pretty young face what is it dear oh mamma they are so oldfashioned yes my lovo i know they are not just the stylo worn now but they are genuine and very fine and coral is so becoming do put them on indeed mamma i cannot wear them id much sooner go without please dont ask mo with n pained expression on her pale face mrs fairleigh said i inn very sorry my daughter loves fashion better than her mothers pleasure tho reproof lottio felt keenly but it did not improve her state of feeling she was disappointed androortified and so in a voice full of petulance auswered i do not bee why it is necessary for me to make a spectacle of myself besides my going without earrings hurts noone mrs fairleigh turned aside to hide the tears which gathered qnickly in her eyes bnt lottie saw them harrying on her cloak and hat she went out without bidding her mother goodbye she felt miserable she knew well bow ungratefully she had acted yet tried to ex cuse herself by thinking mamma might have known she ought to have remembered when she was young she would not hrve wanted to wear things that looked like those mrs noah wore lottie waited on the door

earth made you wear that funnylooking tie lottie asked her eyes expressing immense surprise while a smile played abont tbe corners of her pretty month funnylooking i am glad you think so but i thought it was a very sadlook ing one at any rate it was a sad trial to me to have to wear it i have been expect ing to hear every nrchin i came across sing out something about it charlie said with a comical expression on his handsome fape well how came you to wear it do let me have a good look lets see brown satin with orange and scarlet flowers my how very gay we are dont laugh lottie i will tell you how it was annt eittie made it for me this afternoon when i went lap to dress she came to my room rjtid brought it say ing she was tired of my wearing those gloomy black ties and- she knew young men liked bright things only she supposed tho girls would not make them for me bo she bad given herself that pleasure i could not bear to wound her dear old heart so i pat it on notwithstanding kate mollie and sue protested against it you might have worn it in the boose only no i will not deceive her should she find oat such was the case she would be mortified and hurt ah lottie dear we can afford a little sacrifice for those dear ones whoso sands of life are so nearly run charley you are better thfl i lottie said i and then her thoughts went book to the devoted mother whose every thought wbb for her happiness and she could not ban ish from her mind the pale face with its troubled look tho dear face ever so loving that she left without a parting trias whats the matter little girl i begin to think by your continued silence that you dont care about walking beside a young fellow with so remarkable ft tie no no charley yon must not think so if it were possible to love yon better i should ior this act of loving kindness lottie replied her voice trembling with emotion is that so my darling then aunt kittle can make a dozen of all the colors of the rainbow and ill wear

leaving her mother in her usual health three hours after she was sum moned home to find the loving spirit gone since then her life has been devoted to the fonr little motherless children left to her care she has had a trying time with the oldest boy but faithfully she has worked and now she has good hope of her efforts being crowned with success lotties heart was very sad everybody and thing seemed conspiring againbt iyer peace oh 1 if she were only home 1 lottie said her friend susie moreton we have just received a telegram announ cing the arrival oi a cousin will you ex cuse me or go

lottie was just as well pleased- to be alone she could not cast pff the gloom that had- gathered oyer her spirit and feared her friends might notice and question her concerning it seated before the fire she held the books bsfore her turning one after another leaf without being conscious of anything on tbe pages any other tunc she would have found them full of interest slowly tho time wore on- oh if chari ley would only come and bring her news of home of mother ah the had not long to wait charley was with her but his bright handsome face was very- grave as ho olasped her hand and drew her dearer to him susie and her mothhr earner too their eyes filled with a tender solicitude she could not understand is all rightlipme she asked anxiously all is right lottie dear charley answered oh

into practice a plan of his own ac cordingly be journeyed by easy stages to the blue mountain regou of virginia where he established himself in a farm- bouse and bought a horse he spent he whole day in tbe open air taking care of the steed himself and riding him about the neighborhood at first lie told me bis weakness was sueh that lie could not stay in the saddle more than 15 or 20 eqlnntes at a time and he had to pull up very soon if the horse broke into a trot every day bowover lie became a little ttronger and in a couple of months he was able to ride 10 and 20 miles on a stretch with very little fatigue he attri- bqte4 his recovery in part to the fact that be not only rode but groomed bis horee and busied himself an hour or two in the btafale everyday lathis opinion he coufirmed what i remember hearing an old physician say years and years ago namely that a horse barn as he called it is one of- thp healthiest places in the world for those who love horses tho stable euro would be such
