The nrcMMr tlropiHil the letter wliii-h he luuljust retnl for the sixth time. JIo rose with nervous eiu-ry anil went U the window. He ipied into the stn-et and saw t'hihlren, ehildivn, ehildreii every where children luuhin, running, skiipi:i and -n. Tally dis(xirtin tlieinselvw with the antiuhle idiiK-y of youth. "What tin earth shall I do with it?" muttered the iirofessor, druiiiutin on the window with hiseye.'la.ssi. "What mt it into my sister's head that I would lie the liesl (tenton in the world to take etxre of her ehild ? Why didn't her hllslmnd outlive her? Why did she die?

Then she said it was a pretty siht, and I an swered 'Yes, it look like rain.' 'I couldn't hold it. She was so U-au-tiful, and I Was so so so modest or hashfiil or idiotie or something." It is ijiiite true. Kwr simi- l'rof.

Sh- had passed him till the strH-t often and had always greeted him with a pleasant smile and a Uiw, hut he never dared to do more than lift his hat awkwardly and hasten on. He would have given a month sal ary to find courage to say something, and a year's for the audacity to join her in her walk. Hut he realized that courage was not a purehusaMe eoiu m.ulity. She saw him at the window and smiled, whereuiHin he retired into the r.Kiin with great celerity. Her smile always frightened him. It always made him feel as if his heart had jumped out of place. He had nearly recovered from his alarm when the aged woman who aet cd as housekeeper, cook and general servant in his small cottage knocked at the door and on entering said : "There's a man here wid a child." "Oh, Iord, its come," said the pn fessor, the perspiration starting out on his hrovv. He went down into the sitting room and there he found the express lin-s-senger. The professor did not dare to take his eyes otl" the man lest they should fall tin the tjuii-r bundled up ob ject on the sofa. "Professor," said the messenger, "here's the kid, safe and sound, llrought 'er all the way myself. She's njim dandy, she is. Her trunk is in the wagon. Wot'll I do with it?" "I'.ring it in and put it in the small room ujistairs." While the man w as out of the r.xmi the profi-ssor walked to the empty lire place and stood gazing into it, painful ly awar.? that his every movement was solemnly ol (served by two coal black eyes. He could not have told how he knew they were black, but he was morally certain of it. The man returned with the trunk and deputed it in the small i-ooiii In side a brand new iron l(cdstead. "That's all O. K., professor," said the man, picketing certain bills. "I hold.' you'll like the kid, for she's a jim dandy." A strange intonation in the man's voice caused the professor to tremble. There was a dismal sileneo for several minutes and then a high pitched treble vo'mv said : "Is you my Uncle Art'ur?" The professor started, turned and found the eyes looking up at him. There was no mistake ; they were as black as a crow's wing. So was the hair that hung in tangles around the olive brow. The lijis were red enough and the teeth white enough, but those eyes wi re dreadful. "I am your uncle, Mary," ho said, feebly. "Mamma said you'd be dood to me. Mamma's dead." There was a queer monotonous pa thos in the speech. The professor felt a new emotion. He did not know what it was, but it made him U-ud down and lay his hand gently on the child's head as he said : "I'll lie gixid to you Mary." "IVn take off my lings." This was more than the professor bad banruined for, so he called the old woman. But the child refused to ha touched by her. l)o 'way " she said, with a most malignant expression; an Wants Uncle Art'ur to 1k dood to inc. Don't want ole womans, I scratch ole woman." The professor was fain to make an ESTVBLTSIIED 1827. PA., WEDNESDAY, MAY J 5, 1805. attempt to take of the "fings." He struggled bravely and got the point of a pin in his finger, w hich drew from him a rude exclamation. "Pin 'lick?" gravely inquired Mary. "It did," as gravely answered tlic professor. "Well, you inus'ii say so naughty words," continued Mary, "or you can't go to heaven. My mamma's dere. I wi.-h I was." And the the little black head fell forward and a tear or two fell. Prof. Arthur Brewster looked un comfortably at the old woman for a moment. Then he motioned for her to go. She olc-ycd, but when she locked through the keyhole a moment later she saw the professor tenderly take the gy(sy looking mite in his arms and hold it close to his breast, where the tears ceased to How and the unnatural gravity resumed its sway. At supper the child u.-ked for all sorts of things that the professor siqqiscil were poisonous to children and all of which he promised to have in the house the next day, provided Mary would not carry out her dreaded threat and cry. But finally liediime c.une and then Mary flatly refused to allow the old woman to uudross her. I The professor ierspired? but he man ag.il to get the little garments oil' and to find in tlw poorly stocked trunk a night dress. j ISoU-d in the long white gown Mary looked more than ever like a little gypsy, but when, without a word of warning she droppil on Jier knees In fore him and murmured in her broken language a little prayt r, he thought that she might not In- so painful a bur den after all. , But the end was not yet. When he had retired seme hours later tohisown lied and vas endeavoring to compw himself to sleep he liccaiiicawaiv of the little figure standing U-si.le his pillow. "Why, Mary," he said, "whatever do you want now ?' "I lonely," she said. "Wants to sleep wiv you.' "Oh, no," he said, rather shortly in his suqrise, "that's quite out of the question." He turned his back on her, Imping she would return to her room. But a moment later he heard a meek little sob, and turning again found that she had fully carried out hi r supreme threat an I was crying. He tried to lie angry, but something tugged id his hcartstriug and he reached out his arms and took her to his bosom, where she purred a moment like a kitten and dropped to sleep wiih the peace of a perfect trust en her qii-'cr little face. But the in xt day the trouble U-gan ag;iiii wncit, aiicr moving over uis morning mail, he found that Mary had disappeared. "(Jood gracious!' he exclaimed, "where has she gone?" I Ic called but she did not answer. He went into the next room, but she was not there. He looked intothe kitchen, but the old women declared that the "blessed little imp" had not Ui n near her. Upstair went the professor in great haste, loudly calling for Mary. He tried to reason with hirnclf that he ought to rejoice at her sudden disap pearance and hop' that the never, never would return, but his arguments could not hold their ground against that new thrill of anxiety which hud got posses-inn of his heart. He went out of the house and called loudly: "Mary !" "What you wants?" came thcshri'.I answer from the other side of the fence. There w as Mary, comfortably seated in MaUl Biker's lap, while the girl af fectionately patted her tangle of black curls. "O an yes I ' in rdon," stam mereil the professor; "you see well she went away when I was not look ing." "I quite understand your anxiety, professor," replied Mib.-I, a pretty flush mounting to her checks. "I should be anxious if I were i a your plaiv. She's such a sweet child." "I wonder if she's making game of iii '?'' Ihoii'dit the UMiVssor. Then he said : "Now, Mary, you m:i-t come home ; you mustn't ImthcrMis Biker.' "O'n, but she doesn't' exclaimed MaUl. "Wants to stay here," said Mary. "Let me keep her a little while," pl.-adsl MaUl. She could have kept the professor's entire world. "Oh why of course, certainly, if you like." "Uncle Art'ur' dood to me," cooed Mary. "Bet's me s'eep in lie's bed aud i kiss'm." "Ha! Hum! Cood morning," said the professor, retiring in the utmost confusion. After that little Mary spent most of her time w ith MaUl Biker, and the professor's hours of studious retire ment were not greatly abbreviated. And he was always glad when the child came trotting in at the meal time with some new story ofMaU-I's good ness. "Yes, Mary," he said emphatically one day, "she's the Ust girl in the world." Little Mary treasured that astound ing declaration and in the afternoon remarked to MaUl : " You'se dood to me ; you'se U-st girl in tie world." "th, Mary !" said MaUl ; "that's too much ; you mustn't say that-" "Will say dat. You'sc U-st girl ia de world ; Uncle Art'ur says you is." "Oh-oh-oh !" said MaU l in a low tone, her eyes softening and her face coloring. When little Mary returned to her uncle she was bursting w ith eagerness to repeat MaUl's reply. Suddenly, while the old woman was quiring out some milk, the child exclaimed : "Uncle Art'ur, you'se handsome." "Saints alive!" cried the woman, spilling the milk. "Why why Mary : ' ejacuiaieu me professor. "You is. MaU 1 says you is." The professor said not a word, but he ate heartily and after supper smoked his pipe witli uncommon zest. When Mary went to visit MaU-1 the next day she carried with her a very pretty Ux of Ixiii-b ins for that young woman and when she returned she Uire some choice Urries plucked in Mrs. Biker's garden l.y MaUl'sown fingers. The hist detail caused the professor to refrain from eating the U-rrii-s. He put them away in a secret place, where they were sulisequently found a lot of hard, black pellets. How long tlii communication of spirit might have gone on it was im possible to say but it was interrupted in a way w hich brought grave anxiity to the professor's lyart. One evening Mary was much paler than usual and she complained of pain in her head. "You've U-eii playing too hard," said the professor, with his newly acquired air of paternal wisdom. Si he sent her to bed early to her own lied, in which she had finally con sented to sleep. But in the siieniv of the night she comoto his side, crying and complain ing of the pain. He found her in a feverish stall-. The professor was a man of decision in most things. Hc promptly divssid himself, aroused the old woman bade hcrsitbythe child and went for the doctor. That dignilied pi rson on ar riving looked wise and said : "I am afraid she is in for tv- meas les or the scarlet fever or else a bil lions fever. It is really impis.-iMe to tell at this sta'e." He gave explicit directions as to treatment and promised to call again in the forenoon. When he did so he shook his head and said : "Profi-ssor ll i child need -; a woman's care." "I I suppose you are right. But what shall I !.? She w ill not allow my cook to come near hi r." "(let a professional nin -e." "There are only two in town and they are lioth ymmg and w-ll, "U know I I live her.- alone." "Well, sir, you mu-t manage it -:!. e how." The d.ictor went away, leaving the profissor much disturU'd. A few lui.i utes later the old woman ir.f..rmnl him that Miss Biker was at the kitdu n d'Cir inquiring about Mary. The pro fessor felt that he ought to aii-wcr.-uch an inquiry in i-cr.-s.!!. "I i-m much troubled," he said, "fr the doctor thinks Mary ou.:ht ti haw a woman's c.tiv and .-he will int tolerate theeot.k." "Yes, so liie cook fold 111"," answer ed MaU l. After a minute's he ilnii.-c shead.kd: "I think M iry wouid let me take care of her."' "I am sure she would," declared the professor, warmly. "T;iat is, of c-.nirc if if it WCil Jiossible.
