It was Lite water that tempted him
!;i:. J his delight was to launch tiny
'jboats with paper '-ail.j upon it. At
1 i !ir.-t Mat tie ran away when she saw
' 'hint. Then :iie began to watch him,
' j thinking how like ho was to the cap
I lain, with that heail of clustering
yellow curls; thinking him. like also,
" to what her hoy would havo been
1 had he lived-?lor she never doubled
he was dead?until her heart softened,
and one day sho opened the door,
1 and tempted him in with cake, as one
' might a bird.
1 After that, ho used often to eomc
' to her. All Kudleigh was scandal^
i::ed by the fact, and Mrs. Waters,
ignorant of it, until she one day camc
upon the two at tho river's edge?the
L" loy with his arms about tho woman's
neck. She was in Iter carriage when
5 she saw them, but sho was out of it
in an instant?periling ' her life in the

1 blow, and called Mattio by an evil
* name; and no one who saw her facc
over forgot it, a.* sho drove awjtv
again, with the streaming child.
Matiio went into her poor home.

11 epinsler, "your dcci-ncy ?"
11 And Mattio Fobbed, "ITo in so like
Frank?so liko Frank, aunt ; don't
? bo angry with iuc."
The old nurse was veil oerated by
V Mrs. Waters also, and for a while the
boy was kept within bounds; but lit
11 had a will of his own, and at la-Lorn:
warm autumn day, mamma out for r
k drive, as usual, and nuivo dozing, the
1 j'reat irate swung behind him. and lit
pattered down to the green bit oi

e cry aroused her. bho btarted to hei
i, feet. 'l'ho child was no longer on the
0 bajik, but out in the water gleamed :i
yellow head and two tiny arms, and a
i- cry of "mamma" camoto her.
it was as though hor own child
- called. She flew from tho room an,]
1 down tho stairs, and out towards the
r river. Others were rushing that
?
- way, but she was first. Sho never
t paused to think, but plunged into tho
t water recklessly. In another moment
he was out of her depth, but she had
i | tho boy fast by his little waist, and
| did her best to reach the shore with
him. Men were near by this tiiuo,
v and the two were drawn to the shore
, together. And in the midst of the
0 crowd, Mattio stood holding tho drip1
ping child to her breast, when the
i whirl of carriage wheels smote her
ear.
' A harsh voice cried, "What's all
? this ?" and there once more was Mrs.

look of hate, which had somo terror

1 The horses plunged and roared.

I cried (ho coachman ; bub tho warning

him, ami hilling herself whore slie

her mind. At last, she crept into the
house, and undressed him, and wrapped
him in dry clothing, and laid him
to rest in her own bed, whence he
lifted up his arm ? to embrace her.
I later in the evening she sat by the
lire, when the latch was lilted, atid
the old clergyman came in. J lis lace
was very grave, lie walked up to
Mai tie and took her hand softly.
'You must put on your bonnet and
c'onvi with iue,:i he said. "The woman
w ho was hurt to day is dying.
She wants to speak t<> you."
' To me?" said Sialtie. ' Oh, I can
not go there !-i
Itul something in her friend'u man
ner made her alter her mind, and go
with him, with a strange, hopeful
fouling .'it her heart.
She entered the houso whero her
married lilb bad been spent, ami Ihc
ehiimbor that had boon hoi* own unfalteringly,
though her noul siekened ;
and there upon tho bed f ho saw the
bold faced, woman?bold alut handsome
no more, but 'piiveriiig with
death a.rony, and the terror of what
lay beyond it?a helpless, db-figurod
jinass of flesh. and bone. Uul she
could net speak yet; and she turned
her woeful < yc-: uu Alaltie, and said,
piloou.dy:
''i'ni going iu die. Ttavo mercy on

and 1 want to tell you something

And with her hand upon the Bible,
1 the woman passed into ctcmily.
-.Tattio stood silent, awe-struck
' scarcely comprehending, bewildered
beyond thought?until the old clergy
i man camo to the bed end took hci
1 hand.
1 ''Forgive her if you can, Mrs. AVa

i have God forgivo you,."
And with the words and tho name
* Mattic realized tho truth, aud sank
i upon her kucc.s, and cricd lirst:
I "Frank was true?Frank novcr

felt it was my boy, and not hers."
And po it camo to pass that 3Iattif

Tho General's declination, and Mr.
