(Coneln aed, ) . _ "Must be some queer sort of bird or some thing down there by the spring, remarked Dick, late in the afternoon, as he brought up a pitcher of milk for Hepsibah, 'It sounded exactly like a child erying. 'I heard it two or three times, but couldn't see anything.' Then Polly's troubles began afresh. It was ber baby, she was certain of it. Those people had gone away: and left it entirely; and oh, what should she do? Dread of going near the spot battled fiercely with her remorseful com- passion for the little one left so long without food or care ; but the, later conquered; and, near sunset, having Serveptitionsly warmed a little milk on the kitchen stove, Polly stepped away. Sweet blue eyes looked up atherand baby put up g grieving lip, and drew a little sobbing breath as it was lifted from its hard bed. Polly drew it into her arms, kissed the tiny roseleaf of a hand, and nestled the little soft cheek to her own with an instinctive motherliness that baby apprecisted and under- stood at once. It appreciated the supper, too, and Polly grew more and more in love with the stolen treasure, the longer she lingered vail revealed a) on ih a ri ai ed lite knives, lan d other hi 4 Pally" pnd pon them upon yi hillside, or notice the form that ap proached, until a voice startied her. 'Can you give me a drink, little: maiden? Hello I : . The young man ceme toTan abrupt halt, and gazed upon the case with more surprise than Polly had shown, His pleasant voice changed instantly. 'How came you by that? Polly closed her lips resolutely, and answer- ed not a word. 'I havea right to. ask, since it happens to be my property, the 'I wouldn't own then--a set of burglars tools like that,' burst forth Polly defiantly, ¢ Not so much tools for breaking in houses as for mending broken bones, little lady,' said the gentleman, smiling, but instantly growing grave again. 'The charge of burglary would come with better grace from me, for that case 'was stolen months ago, many miles from here, If you tell exactly how it came in your posses- sion, it will help me to trace something far more valuable, that was stolen at the same 1 * wallet? a baby ?' questioned Polly, her lips parting breathlessly. "Then reading an answer in the face where astonishment, hope and fear'were blending, she poured forth her story, stammering, col. oring. yet eagerly--confinsed and ashamed, but growing . wonderfully . lightened and comforted as she unfolded her burden, 'And--O dear! it wasall so wretched and miserable, and I didn't know what to do; but I don't believe it was so much wicked as a dreadful blunder,' she concluded, with crimson cheeks and tearful eyes, 'Blunder I" echoed the stranger. 'Well, I suspect there are such things as providential blunders ; and if this was one at all, it must have been of that sort ; but I kaow a heart- broken young mother wo will call it by a different name, You have saved my sister's child. withit. But her perplexity increased with her tenderness. 'If I takeit home, I'll have | to tell all about it, of course ; and I can't do' that,' she reasoned. 'Besides, if they find what | dort of people it belonged 'to they'll justsend | J it to the poor-house--I know they will.' Polly had exaggerated ideas of the horrors of that asytum, and to have this little one sent | 'there whon she was {he cause' of its dnprotect=|: ed condition, was more than she could bear.-- But something must be done with it , and she héld it in her arms, swaying softly ® and fro, | and trying to discover some way out of the! difficulty. Presently the lids drooped over the blue eyes, and baby went unconcernedly to Then he told her briefly how the little one had been left, in an open parlor of a distant | city heme, and when the mother and nurse | returned, it had disappeared, and the most careful search had failed to discover any clue to its whereabouts. The mother's grief was slowly destroving her life, and her brother had persuaded her to take a trip with him, in the hope that it might arouse her trom hor, Su melancholy, and benefit her failing How the young doctor rehearsed her story, what he told and what he did not tell, Polly | never knew. But she thought he must have { managed it in some marvellous way, for the minister's family and her uncle William did not appeay at all horrified, and nobody else eS Ear L47 u 8 al one of 4 Nn) tel gleep, leaving its young nurse to settle the, | seemed to know much about it, only baby's question of its future as best she might, If | mother, and she caressed and thanked her as only someone else had it--some oné' who | if she had" 'done something grand and heroic would know what to do, and who would be | instead of dreadful.

Then _a brilliant thought flashed | across Polly's brain. Take it to theminister's; everybody knew the minister and if these | people ever came to look for it they would be sure to hear of it there. It would be well cared for, and nobody need ever know that she had anything to do with it. She drew a long breath of relief and lajd thé the grass while she proceeded to examine the basket, t6 see if Anything could be removed that would make it lighter for so long a pilgrimage. Under the | small quilt that had served for & bed, wert an | old wallet and a handsome ebony. case. The | first held only papers, mo money ; and the case was locked, so that Polly could not learn its contents. But it was of considerable weight, she took it with the wallet, and, running down the hill a little way, deposited them in a hollow stamp. She replaced the quilt and baby in the basket, and bore it as near to the house as she déemed safe, and waited impatiently for the sun to set and the moon to rise. A strange, lonely walk it was that the little maiden took that night. Arms and heart bore a heavy burden ; but she pressed resolutely forward until lier destination was reached.-- She reconnoitred the premises carefully, then, advancing to the step, placed the basket where it would be in full view, rang the bell vigor- ously, and away with a fiying speed thst even her light feet had never attained béfore, She reached home almost breathless; but she had scarcely been missed. Hepsibah remarked, digapprovingly, thatit was n't wholesume to be a-wal«in' round the garden in the moon- "her a beautiful piano, with a scarcely less | béautiful note from, Mrs. Grey, begging Polly to accept the gift from one to whose life she restored both sunshine and music. Polly was so happy in the weeks that fol lowed that she ceased to worry about her nose, - 'In fact so many charming things | were turning up that it was quite out of fashion,' Dick declared. Mrs Grey herself gave her music lessons, and was ber friend and counsellor in counts Fain ways where a motherless girl needed help that Hepsibah was too ignorant to afford Then, too, that precious baby was hers to ho'd and to fondle as much as she chose ; 3 for Sle mother lingered long among the hills, and liked the place so well, that she decided to make it a summer resort, It is to be supposed that Polly has grown to be somebody in four years since that.-- At least Dr. Lisle seems to consider her mu- sical proficiency something wonderful, and comes to sce her with great frequency and regularity. Dick, who has arrived at an age when he is particular about bis back hair, and devoted to his neck-ties, is beginning to call the medical gentleman " part of Polly's Plander." ecco A ears ate The Longest Speech on Record. The longest Speech on record is supposed to have been made bp Mr. DeCosmos in the Legislature of British Columbia, when a measure was pendinz the passage of which would take from a great many settlers their lands. DeCosmos was in hopeles minority. The job had been held back till the eve of shine ;" that was all, and Pelly answered nothing, but slipped away to bed. Broken slumber and odd dreams where hers that night and when Dick returned from an'errand in the village next morning, she saw at a glance that his eyes were full of news, and bending her | head low over her sewing, that her face might not betray her, she. waited for the story that was sare to come. A baby had been left on the minister's doorstep, he announced, a real live baby ; and no one had the least idea inthe world where it came from, though they were trying every way to find out who brought it. «| Hepsidah exclaimed and questioned with her 1 it Tuded | wonted nantly : I gay it was just a shane for auybody to leave it there, when the minister as so many babies of his own, and not salary enough to go balf way round before this one came. Polly had not thousht- of that before. Tt seemed to her that she hadn't thought of any- thing, through the whole miserable transaction | ¢ until it was too late, and that every ® bad been the very woist one she could ha aken. And now the affair had become so complicated that she must let it take its own course, 'Ob, ; but Dick indig- herself, over and over agin, while her heart Soop the minister's amily wight suffer, .

Three o'clock he pro- duced a fearful bundle of evidence and in- sisted upon reading it, - The majority began to have a suspicion of the truth he was going to speak till next noon and kill the bill.-- For a while they made merry over it, but as it came on to dark, they began to get alarm- ed.
