"The knowing how ood deal, of course." . then she went on up the stairs ?hilippa went on down, smiling biging to herself. They were vel vet-carpeted stairs, and the hall was wide and softly lighted by the stained glass window on thc landing. In the parlor sat Philippa's mother, talking to a visitor, who listened with an anxious expression of countenance and an evident effort not to appear ab sent-minded. .Mrs. Somers perceived this presently. 'Oh, you're thinking about the chil dren," she said, smiling easily. "FJon't let timi worry you; they will be quiet immediately. Fraulein has just come -fn-their governs: ? - and they are a1 ways good wit.-, her They just adore her-a porfrci treasure, Cousin Jose phine! It'? wonderful how ?ve happened to get her, and at such a price, too!" "She is a kindergartner?" asked the visitor. "Yes, and thoroughly trained-sup erior in ever}' way, wc think. I ?all her one of Philippa's bargains. Philip pa got her. of course. She is the clev erest child about such matters-always picking up thc prettiest thing.- for her self for almost nothing; and she seems to have picked up Fraulein in mud the same way. "You see, when Fraulein-not thai she's German, but we call her thai because the last one was. and so it": easier to remember; her name i: Dodd or Dobbs or something. I forget well, she lost some position that sin expected to have in the fall. I believe and so was glad enough to come her? Philippa happened to hear of her, an we congratulad ourselves every day o being so fortunate. Philippa, deal come in!" she called, hearing the girl' light step outside She looked up proudly at her ta daughter, whose smile was as sunnil sweet and good humored as her own. "Now, mamma." cried Philippa, ga ly, when Cousin Josephine was gen "put on your little bonnet right awa; and come with me and seo my 'shut-i people! And then, this afternoon, you're not too tired, there's just tl sweetest bit of a hat at. Madame Me. er's. I saw it yesterday-precise what I want to go with my green suit and such a bargain!" Off they went presently, with a ru tie of silken ski.?? r.nd ?. ripple merry talk and laughter. At one o'clock Evelina met thc coming home to luncheon. She w jus' leaving thc house, and Mrs. So: ers stopped her <~.n the steps. "Were the children good to-day?" s asked kindly. "Von look a little pa Fraulein. You mus! take care of yoi ??-alf.

"But thc hours are short." said her mother, easily. "She ought to be abie to rest enough in the afternoon to be fresh for her-work in tho morning. "Oh. no. I can't get sick! I can't get sick!" said Evelina, as she walked away. -They prize rae so!" A little bitterness was in her smile.

She a;e her luncheon here and hur ried back, not home, but to the crowd ed avenue again, and toward thc very store to which Philippa, after a hur ried luncheon, had already hastened in her carriage. And so it chanced that, seated in the inner room of Madame Meyer's Fashionable Emporium, trying on the bit cf a hat, while Stubs, whom she had brought with her. investigated with equal enjoyment some silken flowers left within his reach. Philippa, la the mirror, saw the reflection of Evelina entering the door. "So the lin]? Fraulein must have a spring hat. too!" she smiled. And then she frowned in wonder, for tbs little Fpuloin had slipped away somewhere ai/j taken off her wraps, and now was moving about in her trim black gown ai-if she belonged there; and-yes, was ; talking to a Customer who had just come inl_ _l4^_ ^3H8?-?ia -hilipprv silting up ^S^t-hanilitaii^v'?.'ag her hm.

You know her, mademoiselle?" "1-yes-but I didn't know-is she a saleswoman here?' stammered Philip pa. "Sometimes," said madame, cautious ly. "Eh bien- Those leafs-' "Oh, never mind the hat!" Philippa cried, impatiently. "I want to know about that girl-who is she? Tell mc, please!" Madame's keen black eyes changed and softened with ready feeling. "Truly?" she said. "You care to know? It is not much to tel!. She is a little teacher, this poor Miss Dodd. She and hor mother have live more than a year in the same house with me. She love her teaching, oh. so much! And she have study three, four years, to fit her self. But in the fall, she tel me. she have lose the situation she ex pee', be cause she was so seeck, ch, vcr*, vcr* seeck!

She shrugged her shoul ders and spread her hands with an elo quent gesture of generous indignation Philippa's cheeks had turned as pin', as the roses in her hat. She sat quin still gazing at her reflection in th? glass and the little black figure movinj to and fro in the dim background. "Thank you." madame." she said briefly, when thc voluble milline paused, her ample bosom heaving wit: thc warmth of her generous feelings "It is- !..ird. as you say; but thing like that do happen, I suppose.

His shrill, small voice pene trated above the roar of the street. "She told us so-tomorrow-a burfday, Fwaulein has!" "Indeed!" Philippa said again, grim ly. "What are you going to give her, Stubs?" She turned upon him with a sudden and disconcerting severi-y. "You're going to give lier something! What shall it br? Flowers, Stubs? Ros es, violets, candy, Stubs?" "Cawamels!" shriked Stubs, in ecs tasy. "Cawamcls and choe'let cweams pounds an' pounds!" "Pounds and pounds!" echoed Philippa, recklessly. "And flowers, too! O Stubs, we'll make il up to her. my dear-somehow we'll make it up to her!" And then Stubs caught the note of something strange and sorry in his sis ter's \oice. and looking up, beheld tears in Philippa's merry eyes. She was all read: for Evelina tho next morning when that unsuspecting young person came up the stairs again. . and pausing at the door of the library where Mrs. Somers sat, tapped softly and cann- in. The litt!.? "Fraulcin's" delicate face was paler than usual, and her quiet manner was a trifle flurried. "I thought. Mis. Somers." she began -"1 have hoon thinking for some time that I ought to tell you-I am afraid I shall not be able to go out with the children. I-" "Oh. is that. yo;:. Fraulein?" said Philippa, coming out casually from be hind ?he window curtain, and taking a position ol' much firmness and digni ty beside the big table in thc middle of the room. ".Mamma will excuse me. You know it is I who made the ar rangement with you in the first place so ii you are going to resign or any thing, will you please do it to me?" "Oh." said Evelina, Hushing faintly, "I wa? going to say-" She looked wist fully nt Mrs. Somers, who, smiling, rose and .le?! the^rGCHD? and th.cn -h? turned to Philippa w?th'a7i-^-.U'a?ii? doubi and distress in her face; bul * that perverse young lady was unmoved. "I don't think, however, that it is necessary for you to go on." ohscrved Philippa, lightly, playing with a paper knife which lay upon the table, "be cause I know what you are going to say. 1 should have spoken to you any way this morning. I saw you yesterday. Fraulein, at .Madame .Meyer's; and frankly, to tell jon the truth. I don't see how you can carry on millinery and kiudcrgartening, successfully, at thc same time." "I c?.n't." said Evelina, with a lit tle rueful smile. "That's just the tren Ide. I thought I could-1 hoped so; but. 1 am not very sirong. and now-" "And there is another thing. Fr?u lein." continued Philippa, judicially. "1 was going to speak to you today because-I am very sorry t, but we have not we have "Not satisfied! buck a little, the crimsen color coming up in her white cheek. "Imbed, you have said, ami Mrs. Somers, that you found my wo"k-" "Oh. not your werk," said Philippa, willi a haughty wave of the paper knife, 'li is-to bc qui-.c- frank with yo::. Fraulein-U ls the terms that are nui satisfactory to us." "Thc-terms!" said Evelina. The terms." repeated Philippa, firm ly. She avoided the other's astonished and incredulous eyes. "Miss Somer:;." said Evelina, after a moment, her voice a li;ile shaken, "it seems lo me there must be some mis take. I always supposed you knew. 1 though* surely you und rstood that I came to you l'or scarcely half what 1 ought, what I should usually receive. lt was so lat--, yon know, and I needed -why. I ??ai is why I have to go to Madame Meyer's! I-" "Exactly!" said Philippa, with spirit. "Thal is just what I object to. Why do you do it? What right have you to go on teaching my little brothers and sis ters for scar' cly more than half what you aro worth, ll isn't lair, it isn't right; and I can't have ii go on any longer, Fraulein, do you understand?

Oh, I lent ned something yester day-you needn't think-" "Miss Somers!" said Evelina. Her voi<-o was very quiet. "Miss Somers!" "it is the knowing hov.!" said Phi lippa, sternly, emphasizing her words with vicious stabs of her weapon into tho reit table-cover. "You have worked for ii and studied for it: and that you should go on using it up on Stubs and 'Pommy and Fanny and the Angel for - it';; absurd! If you want lo stay here Fraulein, and work over their young ideas, you'll have lo agree ro do it fnr -what it's worth: or else you may go and sell hats all tba rest of your life, if you want to! I don't care!" "Miss Somers!" Evelina said again. Philippa looked, and what she saw in tho little Fraulcin's smiling, tremulous face, the comprehension, wonder, -c lieE and gratitude, went to her girlish heart. "Fraulein-Miss Dodd." she said, earnestly, dropping her defiant man ner as she did her paper-knife, "I, mean it, truly! We didn't know, mam ma and 1. wc didn't understand; and it was all my fault, because 1 didn't stop lo think. And now. if you would stay and let ns make it up to you, Miss Dodd, and pay you what it's forth-lo you-to us-" "Miss Somers," Evelina began once more; but tho rest of her reply will be forever among tho secret things ol unwritten history, for nt that moment i he voice of Stubs war. heard in tin hall.
