From a luxurious home to a small one ; from that to a boarding- bouse; from one to another, each poorer than the last, to a room in & tenement house, until they were at last in a bare, cold attic, so scanti ly furnished that the very empti ness was chilling. They had, at last, reached the point where actu al beggary or starvation stared them in the face. "If we invest the forty cents in charcoal," Hester said, in the same low, bitter tone in which she had first spoken, "two dollars won't pay our funeral expenses." Hester! Don't, dear!" hei mother said, in a voice full of sor row, but without one echo of the ring that was in her daughter's. "Don't I God will not desert us !'; "People do starve I" was the quick reply. And then, with a wail indescribable in her voice, she cried: "I could bear it alone ! I could work, starve, die ! But to see you suffer is more than I can endure. My heart is breaking!" She threw herself into her moth er's arms as she spoke, sobbing vij olently. A creature of impulse, of quick, sudden change of mood, she wept for a few moments, and then stood erect, dashing back toe tears.

"I am twenty-one to-day !" As she spoke, there was a knock upon the door, and a basket was handed in ; a shallow, open, round basket, piled witb flowers roses ol every tint, fragrant blossoms of va rious kinds, burried in soft mess and tender grten leaves.
