4n the room, and said quietly: "You may
take this child to the school-room for to

I obediently followed the girl to the school
room, which was a landsomely-furnished
apartment on the second floor.
The servant opened the 'r and gave mo
a shove Insido. "Mistr s said she was to
study hero to-day," cried, and 3hut tho

floor. I my head and looked around.
in one end of the room, a grave,
in-faced girl of perhaps two-and-twcnty
was sitting listening to a recitation froln
one of the three children utnler her charge.

word of welrone. Iler thoughts seemed far
away, I thought, for her voice, though even
and wcll-Modulated, never raised or fell be
low the same quiet ulonotone. W'heI she
had finished the leassn upon which she was
engaged when I entered, she camec forward
and questioned Inc somewhat in regard to
my stcdics. This done, she avo mnc a book

If mothers could onl y realize what a

change for better or worse, according
to the care and attention they receive
