"A( crowd met her at the very threshold. With a wild cry J aberusbed toward the inanimate form they earned upon a board. It waS her fath er, brought homo to them with a broken leg. A week had passed sino this misfortune. By the sale of their few pieces of furniture, iho wolf had been kept from the door. fJSut now nothing remained save the coarse bed on which the dis tressed ones slept. 2To coal for the little grate ; no tea for the feverish lips ; no crusts for the famish ed children ! What should be done ? It was a question Little Marie asked herscJf again and again as they lay there watching the few pale sunbeams that struggled through t he win dow. And sho asked it oftener after she had risen and dressed herself and brothers, and smoothed the two beds. Bread they must have that day. They were all faint even now, and the toys clamoring for their breakfast. Suddenly a bright thought came to the little daughter. She remembered having seen in the coffee houses young girls, no taller than she, wait ing upon the customers. Perhaps they would try her. "If they only would," she murmured softly. "I am bandy, quick, and patient, and I would try so hard to oblige." I am pretty, too, she might truly have added, had there been a spark of vanity in her heart ; for she was a sweet child, with a brow like a sunny snowdrift, and eyes like the spring violets that nestle in the woodlands. "I will try at least, and see what lean do," and after watching a moment the weary sleep of her pa rents, she whispered to the little boys that she was going out to get some bread for them, and hurried away. Sbe did go to the baker'?, but her pitiful story failed tj touch his hard heart, and there were tears on her cold chock ss she turned away. Evon if she secured a place she could not hope for wages till Sat urday ,and there were four weary days between thi ar.d that. Bread would be too late if she wailed till then. What should she do beg? Sheasked herself th question with a quivering lip. Never before had their poverty driven them to that straight, and it wa hard, even now, with the pic ture ot that wretched borne fresh in her vision, to plead for charity. But she did it. Again and again she said to tbe passers-by "Please, sir, please, ma'am, give me!a penny to buy bread for my sick parents." But the gentlemen had their overcoats buttoned to their chins, and the ladies were enveloped in furstand it was too much like trouble to find their pocket-books or purses, just to supply a beg gar's wants. "Go to tha soup-house," said ne at 'last, more churlish than tbe rest. ThoCity provides forsuch as you.1' it was a new idea to her, and as fast as feet could carry her she went, and entering in breath loss haste told her story to the attendant matron. "I will report the case to the committee," said the woman quietly, making a memorandum of the name and number of the street. "Come in to-morrow morning, and I will do what 1 can for you." Te:morrow She ould bo too weak to walk so far by that time, and what would become of the rest ? " With a heavy heart, she went borne, having no courage to present herself as a waiter to any of the coffee houses she passed on her way. " "Did you get some ?" cried tbe boys, gathering about her, and pulling off her cloak to see if it were hidden in her cloak or under ber arms. "Did you get some?'" said twoifaint voices from the bed in the corner, and the coverlet was thrown off, and two pairs of thin, white hands put forth. "No, no," she answered plaintively. "But I will try again. Jteep up good hope." "There will be plenty out of the oven now. Yes, plenty," she said to .herself, as she buttoned her cloak on the threshold ; "plenty, and I'll have some, too. They shall not starve. Men and wo men forsake me; God doesn't hear me any lon ger 1 There is nothing left for me to do but steal." Her face paled as she spoke it, and for a few moments there was a wild wrestle in her heart. Then she went on quietly, pausing an instant before each baker's door, and' looking anxiously within. : Jty and by she found one that seemed empty. . A whole pile of steaming loaves lay upon the counter. She rushed in and seized one, and hiding it un der her cloak, fed madly up the street But tbe baker bad seen her from the little sitting-room door,and was after her, crying lustily, ."Stop thief, stop thief I" A crowd followed her and the poor child was soon ran down. "JA clear case," said the police officer, who took her in band "properly found on ber. She most go to the court-room." In vain she pleaded with them, and told ber story. ' "They must do their duty, she might have begged ; she might have gone to the soup house ; there was no excuse for stealing at any rate." , No excuse, and her mother was dying for food ! An importan t trial was just closing, and ail the avenues to the court-house 'were thronged. ' They'll be through soon,'' said the officer to the baker; "we'll wait here a few moments. No dangerbf her getting away while my grip is on her," aid he tightened his grip on' the shrinking arm, till the flesh quivered with pain. "Take me .home first," she said sadly ; "they will worry about' ine to. J My poor mother will die if she thinks I'm lost ' ; , f , - "They'll soon find out where you are," said be, srruffly.

' 1 ' ,; "I'll da it," she eaid resolutely ; "roaratna will forgive oie,whcn she knows all. Without flre,; without food, hearty naked, qoiti starved ; ph; she will be so glad 1 thought so far; and she boundod down the street and ruhed around the corner. Pushing open the plate-glass door of the most fashionable' hair-dresser ; of the city, she went quictlv up to the attendant, and at.kd to see Monsieur B. He ushered her into the inner room, saying he would call him. JHer heart fluttered while she waited, but her resolution did not fait her. "Ah ! it isiny little Theresa" and Monsieur B. took her band kindly. "Good morning, dear. Come to have your ringlets, dressed for the ball to-nigbt no?"' as she shook bet head, "why not? you gocertainly ;you areoneof Monsieur's bet pupils. What is it, then, my dear ?" For a moment her lips quivered ; then she spoke up quickly : : ; "You said once, sir, your would give me an ea gle for my curls. Will you do it now to-day this minute?" Tbe hair-dresser was attonisbed. What could the child mean. To cut off those curls, long, silken, and gold colored, the pale gold of a stray sunbeam, it would nave been sacrilege al most for a mother to have done it ; to sell them, was surely a crime. "Does she, your mother, does she know you come here?" "No, sir; but she will not blame me when I tell her how it was. O, no, she is too good." "And how is it, my dear? Mak a friend ol me, and tell me bow- it cornea you ask me to buy your hair ana he stroked the glossy curls as tenderly as a father might. "V She hesitated,' and then opened ber heart to him. There wa3 a mist on his eyes when she finished her plaintive story. He walked tbs fleor a momeut as if irresolute, then stopping before her, be took out his pocket-book, and handed her two half eagles. She put them in her purse, and quietly took off her hood. "Not now, my little" angol ! I am too busy, to-morrow will do as well ; or stay, I will come in this evening. Till then do not mention it to any one. Go now on your mission, my Sister of Charity," and he led her to the door. How quick her little feet flew over the pave ment. She could hardly speak when she had reached a baker's shop. "Two loaves, sir large ones, too," she gasped, and threw down one of the gold pieces. The man s.ared at her curiously. The color rose to he brow, but she said nothing, and hur ried away with her warm, fragrant bundle. "Is it you, Marie? What kept you so long, duaghter ? Quick, break me a crumb ? I am faint.'' j : Like an angel, the little stranger looked to them as she glided in, her checks like apple blos soms, and her hair failing over her shoulders like ripples of sunshine. "Marie cannot come home yet," she said, in a voice that was as sweet as a robin's in May time. "But she will return to morrow; perhaps this evening. She has sent me with the bread. See tbe two nice loaves I've brought you," and she tore it in fragments Tears coursed down her face as she saw how eager they clutched them. She bad never dreamed of poverty like this; never known how hungry folks may be, ana live. "I must go now," she said, opening the door ; "but I will come again soon and make you com fortable ;" and she hurried to the nearest grocer and bought a basket full of provisions, and enga ged Lira to tend, in some kindlings and coal. Th little boys heljted her to build a Are in the cold stove, and when it blazed nerrily,fhe put on tbe kettles, and soon bad a refreshing cup of tea for each invalid, and a platter of smoking pota toes for the children. "Whore is Marie? do you know, little angel?" asked the sick motbor, as sho gave back the cnp. "O, yes, lknow," she answered, cheerfully. "Didn't I say sho woujd be bomo early to-morrow ? Don't worry. Better days are coming. I'll bring her in the morning. Good-bye."-4 It was as though a fairy had come and vanish ed : a kind-hearted fairy, too, for beside the tup ply of coal and wood, a half-eagle lay in the sick father's hand.
