•'Strawberries ! tfifawberrics ! Very
fine and fresh—lady, please buy !"
But Madeline Joyce, leaning from
the open window, with her cheek idly
sttppbrtcd on her hand, shook her
head.
"is>—l do not w ant any, child!"
And the strawberry girl passed on,
her clear shrill Voice echoing fainter
and fainter in the distance, as she went.
Madelluo gazed after her with sad
violet-gray eyes.
"IVwand proud! proud and poor!"
slic rtlifrntered to herself. "0, my God!
why was I not yonder ragged straw
berry girl, or even the child who
sweeps the crossings, and earns an
honest penny now and then? But now
—now my hands arc lied by mama's
absurd prejudices! well, Beatrice,
what is it?"
For her yoilnger sister had come
noiselessly in—a tall slip of a thing, like
one of the graceful iield-lili'cs that grow
in solitary places,
"The bill from the baker's, Made

'• Another bill l" with an impatient
lift of llie eyebroWs "Did you tell the

"What Woilld have been the use,

'•And, mamma?"
"She does not knotv»shc la reading
in the parlor she will not let me mend
the table tfloth; she says it is not work
tor ladies. O, Maddy, what shall we
do?"
Madeline arose and began pacing im
patiently up and down the room, her
white, slender hands clasped over her
head >
"Hush!" slic crieil, abruptly, " there

No—slay! Vorlmps I had bc'tcrsee

And Madeline Went down stairs on
the darkened room where Mrs. Joyce
sat in faded silk and darned lace, a relic
of tltc gldrioits past, With white wastqri
hands folded in her lap, and an
jderwl Ottoman under her feet.
"It is like a dream," Madeline said to
hcfself, smflliig impatiently, as Mrs.
Benjamin and her mother prattled on
about the current topics of the day i
"And to think that there is nothing in
the house for dinner! Perhaps Mrs.
Benjamin will ask mamma to dine, and
Bee and I can send but for half a pound
of era ;kers. We can cat anything■«
And through her disjointed medita
tions, her mother's soft sweet voice
sounded, as voices sometime sound
when one is half-sleeping half awake.

very kind, I am sure, and Muddy must

little boy». I am sure it "would be a
charming opportunity f>r you to see a
little of. life, for circumstances, you
know" with a gentle little sigh,
clude me tram giving you much varie
ty."
Madeline looked tip with a sudden
glitter in he eyes; aud Mrs Benjamin
thought with surprise how pretty Mrs
Joyce's eldest girl was growing.
" A nursery governess? I think 1
know of some one, Mrs. Benjamin, who
will 6uit yon, if—if your terms are at all
liberal.,, ,
•Three hundred a year and all ex

placently. "1 think it isu't at all stingy.
Who is it Madeline?" i
A young lady—a friend of mine.

"At once; and then we can be off be

"Oh, of sonr.se—of course. That is, it

"How l'Cady the young birds arc to

to leave so dull a place as this."
,'Mamma,'* cried Madeline, passionate.
1/. "it is not that. Oh! mamma, if 1
cuuld onlv tell vou!*'
And she hurried out of the room with
a choking gasp in her throat.
Mrs. Benjamin did not* like scenes;
she looked on with civil wonderment,
But she understood it all—after a little
while.
"The landlord, uyniu!" cried Mrs.
Joyce, in her soft, well-modulated
voice.

"it's three months since he was here

She coiiltl nay no more, for just then
Mr. Atheliug himself followed on her
footsteps—si tall, line looking man dark
as a Spaniard, with Square chin and
brow as calm as that of an ancient Wo

digniticdly up.
'•This intrusion is scarcely called for,
Mr Atholliig,"said she. '-My daughter

'•I presume so, if you g> to Mrs.

"Thanks, madam, Pray excuse me

Mrs. Joyce bowed with the air of

" Tlulls'# over, thank goodness," said
she, and buried her nose once more in

"Mamma might bear some ol her own

Mrs. Benjamin's tall footman put on a
supercilious grin, as Mr. Atheliug asked
for Miss Jovce.
"The new nursery gov'nesV said he,-

Five minutes later Master Clarence

to his mother's bouaoir, where Mrs.
