The Three Sisters,
Priscilla, Louisa and myself pledged
ourselves after j Uncle Daniel died to
live on, we three, ; all our lives that
we'd sink or swim together, that .we'd
work for and with each other until our
fortune were made just ourselves,
j We clasped hands on it.
I We were orphan's, and had alwav
lived with uncle, and were brought up
as his own daughters.
jit was a great surprise to every one,
When tne will was read, to nnu it was
dated many years back, and that every-
' 1 ' L ! t . A . "
uung was ieit to a;nepnew, 01 wnoin
we had often heard but never seen.
i . ; i
i Lawyer Adams shook his gray head
regretfully as he. told us he had heard
our uncle sneak of makina: a will, btit
he had put it off till too late.
So we found ourselves possessed only
of the little sum bur mother had left
us. I j j
The first thing we did was to rent a
little cottage (which seemed very queer
and small after the "Grange") and
then we settled I quietly down, as we
expected to live for years to come.
Pris, a book-keeper, I, Floss, a nur
sery governess, j and Lou, the house
keeper, stocking-darner, chief cook and
bottle-washer. ri
The Haughtlys and the other girls
tried to patronize us after our "de
scent" (as I overheard one of them call
it.) but we soon showed them we could
get along very well without them.
;My eldest sister's name is Priscilh
but I with my inherited disregard of
tlie "dignities," nicknamed her Pris.
Lou is our beauty, and not a mere
beauty' either. j
My own name; of Floss was given me
in my childhood days, when, I suppose
my hair was silkyj.
It is an awful inisnomer now, for my
hair is my own aggravation.
It won't lie smooth, nor yet wave in
distracting rings around my forehead.
No! arid I often feel ljke crying when
I comb it in very anguish ; it lies neither
one way rior the other, but just stands
up fluffy and miserable.
Pris says it suits my face, and I don't
feel she is complimentary.
! Two years went by, and nothing oc
curred to disturb our pledge. We were
left pretty! much alone.
I grew to love my little charge very
much, but it was pretty hard to plod
two miles in all kinds of w eather twice
a day. But all things considered, we
did very nicely, j f
biie cold morning 1 was hurrying
along, hardly able to see, for the blind
ing sleet, when something fell at my
feet. 3Iy start of surprise maj- be im
agined, as I looked down, and there,
sprawling on the ice, was a great man.
For a second he sprawled, and then
tried to start to his feet, only to sink
back with a groan.
"Well," thought I, "what would
PHs do in my circumstances ?" so I said
inimost dulcet tones-
"Can I be of any assistance to you,
sir?" i 'C :
"Yes. I think you can ; my ankle
must be sprained, Dut I hardly believe
you could help me up."
I nodded assent p the last words, as
I glanced down at the prostrate length
iness. ! I I
"Well, if you will be so kind, please
take this card to the housekeeper at the
Grange' ", ;
He toot a card from his pocket, and
scribbling something upon it, placed
it in my hand. I
up the street as far
then.down, but noj
looked despairingly
as I couid see and
one was in sight, so
I turned away, leaving the poor man
in his misery until some aid should
come.
As I went, he ca

the

away as fast as I could, j
I had done all I could when I gave
the housekeeper the j card (she was a
stranger to! me), and so 1 started again
for my destination, where 1 knew I
should be late, and also would receive a
severe look from my employer.
MY MOTHER'S GEAVB.
She has left me, pnceleaa treasure.
More than all the world beside ;
Oh ! my heart is b&4 and lonely
Since my gentle mother died.
How I miss her tender aocents
How her love I fon lly crave :
When my life work here is ended.
Let me rest beside her grave.
Sweet the message that she gave me.
As she clasped me to her breast ;
"God will comfort! iide and keep yod
In his arms there's perfect rest ;
Do not grieve that I must leave yon, .
We shall meet to part no more,
Then a band of white robed angels
Bore her to the- golden shore. ,
She is free from all earth's sorrow,
, free from all earth's pais and woe ;
Safe in heaven, her ransomed spirit;
Only joy and peace shall know.
Soon I'll hear the angels calling.
Soon death's waters I must brave ;
When life's journey shall be over,
Let me sleep beside her grave.
Before long the "Grange" chaise
passed me, j and again coming back.
The second time, leaning on the cush
ions, I saw the hero of the accident. He
say me, too, for a smile lighted up his
dark face.;
What an adventure to tell the girls,
and in what a graphic way I told it !
"So," said Lou, the "heir of the
Grange has entered into possession.
Well girls, we don't envy him, do we?"
"Envy him ? Well, Lou, I can't say.
As I stood in the dear old hall a queer
kind of feeling came over me. My idea
of comfort doesn't cerrespond witli the
washerwoman's a swate place, with'
jist room enough for me j and my old
man and the children."
By this time a little crimson flag
began to hang itself out in Pris's cheek
as she looked reproaclifully at me.
"You shouldn't talk so wildly, Floss;
I am sure we are very happy as we
are.
"I am happy, but I miss the library,"
said Lou, looking up. v
"And I the piano," supplemented I.
Pris smiled at us both and quoted
that bit of scripture about the "camel
and the, needle's eye."
It was uncle's nephew, Mr. Ralph
Maxwell, and after his foot got better
I often saw him at a distance.
I managed to avoid a meeting though,
for I hate to be thanked, and what I
did 1 should have done if it had been
his coachman instead of him.
I have said Priscilla was a book
keeper. She had always had a taste for math
ematics, and her position was a respon
sible one in a large pin manufactory.
The proprietor gave her the position
as soon as she applied on hearing of the
vacancy. ;
We had always thought it very
strange, for places like that are gen
erally hard to get.
We were all free in the evenings, and
then such fun as we had, chatting and
laughing!
The mirth was at its height one night
wnen there came a knock at the door.
Who could it be?
I opened the door, and there stood
Mr. Ashton, Pris's employer.
"Good evening, ladies. May I come
in ? I was passing and heard sueli joy
ous lauffiiter, ana, Kiiowins: iuiss
Dwight lived here, could not resist the
temptation to drop in for a minute."
Lou and I looked blankly at one an
other; but Pris with her usual dignity,
answered for us, and our visitor was
soon established in an easy-chair, con
versing as if he'd known us all our
lives.
Our visitor!
It was one of our rules that we were
never to invite visitors, but this one
had invited himself.
It wasn't the last time, either, and
after a while Pris brought the most ex
quisite bouquets home, which she
placed on the supper table. .
When we questioned her she said she
found them On her desk.
But strange things happen. When I
came home one evening Lou handed me
a note, and iri it were these words :
Miss Florence Dwight : Pardon me
for writing to vou, but I have vainly
tried to meet you for some time. I wish
to thank you for your kindness in
taking that long walk for an entire
stranger, It was only very lately I dis
covered we were related indeed,
cousins and that you were one of the
three young ladies-who lived with my
uncle until he died."
-1
That was the way hejbegan, and then
wenj on to tell me that; he had never
known of our existence until now, as
in his youth, after hisj parents' death,
he had gone to Australia and had not
communicated with home since that
time. He further askd if he might
call and thank me in person, and form
the acquaintance of my sisters, and
finally signed himself "Tour cousin,
.Ralph Maxwell." !
Such a sensation as that letter created .
Lou looked rather grim; as she said :
"Another visitor ?" and Pris, to whom
I went for consent, said :
"Of course, as he is our cousin, and
has asked to call, it would be rude to
say no."
He came.
I could not .have 'imagined a nicer
cousin. Jiiueeu, ne was my lcieai oi a
hero from the very first1. To be sure,
he must have j been a good deal over
thirty, and thirty to eighteen seems
old. Such a brilliant talker he was,
tOO. -.!';. f
He didn't come once only; there was
hardly a "week passed he did not call,
elthec to bring a book or some fruit,
and sometimes without .any excuse at
all. ,-) i
My eyes began to open, and to see
how foolish it was for three girls, the
oldest only twenty-two, to decide to
live all by themselves all their lives.
As I looked at Lou sitting in a low
chair with the fire-glow; making fairy
gold out of hair, and from her to the
graceful figure lazily leaning against
the mantel, and looking; down upon
her, I thought; if Lou wanted, and Pris
would consent!. I would toronose a dis-
solution of our pledge.
.. , .
I knew Pris and I could J get along
very well together.
My romancing was rudely checked
by the lazy figure becoming suddenly
alert, as jCousin Ralph (we called him
so) came to me and said, in jhls eager,
Doyish way
"MissFlosi, I forgot Madam f Grisi
is to sing to-night. Would you like to
hear her,?" i
I sprang up and danced around the
room for very joy.
"Oh, how I should like to go!'
."weiii ioss, hurry then, and get
ready."
It was
Lou
who spoke, and all
at
once my pleasure vanished. ! .
It was Lou i that should; have been
"asked, and not I. t
I hesitated for a
noticed ik and said :
moment, and he
"I triell to get four seats, jbut' could
only secure these two, and! knowing
your fondness; for music I thought I
would give you this chance.'f -
Pris took my arm in her decided way.
"Now hurry, child, or you will be
late." ..."
I have ; heard people say jthat they
enjoy things. , . j
Now I don't, or at least I didn't en
joy that Singing, i
I revelled iij it; I grew intoxicated
with the heavenly sounds ; I but Pris
cilla would say I was talking wildly,
and so I am. j
And after the concert it's all past
now : but I never in all my emotional
life felt so strangely and so little in
clined to make fun as when Halph told
me he loved me, and not as I had
thought, Lou.
A flood of rapture a great deal
stronger than the music rapture swept
over me, but left me strong enough to
repulse the arm which had drawn me
close one blissful moment.
And then I told him of oui pledge,
and that under no consideration would
I be the first to break it.
now he laughed !
lean hear the ringing tones now;
but he didn't caress me again, and we
soon reached home.
.1
As he left me at the gate the saucy
fellow said, lifting my chin up and
lookiijig into my eyes
"Never fear; little one, but things
can be arranged. If you love me you
shall, jiave me."
Have him, indeed ! f
When I went inside, I stood a mo
ment in amaze.
In the low chair sat Lou, and on her
knees before her, with her head in Lou's
lap, was I-ris.
"Priscilla Dwight, what's the mat
ter?"! ;
Pris lifted up her face, and such a
face for our calm sister.
A tear in one eye and a smile in the
other would about describe it.
Lou explained
"While you were gone, Floss Mr.
Ashtojti called and asked our Pris to be
his wife. I left the roomforomething

I came to this conclusion
some time ago. Let's dissolve our
pledge; it was a foolish one, "but, of
course;, we didn't foresee this. What
say you, Floss.
For answer I rushed to LOu's side,
and with one arm around her jand the
other around Pris (who had again hid

tale. . . . ! i ! i j

A Model Fourth of July Oration.
i -1
Bob Burdette, of the Burlington
Hawk Eye burst out of his sanctum on
the Fourth and desolated a suburban
town with an oration, from which we
quote :
Why have we assembled here to-day ?
What means this vast concourse of peo
ple, these waving banners, these strains
of soul-stirring music, this j glittering
array of beauty, patriotism and intelli
gence?. As I face this immense multi
tude, I am impressed with one thought,
that rushes upon my very soul and
struggles in vain for utterance. It is
the thought that I am not going to be J
a hi p. to make one-half of these neonle I
hear a word I eay. It is not a grand
thought. It is not even a brilliant
thought. But it is true, and the truth
is worth far more than brilliancy. And
I will tell the truth every time Lget an
opportunity It isn't often tnat I get a
chance. What with trying tci reconcile
Tice's weather predictions and the
President's policy, a man has to be vigi
lantand lie awake nights and watch
his chances in order to get an opportun
ity to tell a little truth once a week,
and yet this has nothing to do with the
Turkish war.
Why, then, I repeat, are we assembled
here to day? To rejoice that we are a
free people, endowed with the inalien
able rights of life, liberty, anjd the pur
suit of happiness at a long range. To
rejoice that the precious boonj and heri
tage of freedom is ours, bequeathed us
by the fathers who fought, bled, and
died, that I and mine and you and yours
might breath the air of freedom. And
we rejoice to-day, and we ; ire proud
and happy and glad, glad that our
fathers died for us instead of compel
ling us to die for them. 'Xhey were
great, grand men. In fact, they were,
many of them, great-grandfathers.
It Is sweet to die ior one's country. It
seems to me that I, too, would gladly,
oh, how gladly, add my name to the
great and good, and die for my country
of old age. I would die sooner If it
was thought necessary, but I haven't
got time. Iam too busy. But If any
sacrifices are needed next centennial,
they may call on me, and I will either
come or send a hand.
Our fathers died for us. They died
willingly and gladly. But if they could
come back to-day and see what kind of
a crowd they died lor, quarreling over
the President's policy, wrangling over
the currency, and some of them trying
to pay a dollar's worth of Idebt with
ninety cents worth of money, talking
politics twenty-three hours a day, and
praying so that their knees et rusty,

grasshoppers, they would, if they had
