that made life of value.
And nevor hod his love metsuch quick

tender, so careful of his comfort and
pleasure, as In tho week that followed
Charles Arnold's departure from the
neighbor's farm. It was a dear, u
precious recollection to the grateful girl,
for there come a duy—ah !so soon after—
when Robert Htrong was brought to his
own door dying of Injuries received by a
fall in his barn. The trap of tho loft had
given way and thrown him violently to
the lloor beneath.
A few hours of suffering and then he
said, faintly:
"Mother!—who will earo for mother?

It was only an iron will that held back

her, and over the still, white face, that

later, sho vowod to bo faithful to h i

She soon found It was no slight burden
she had assumed. Mrs. Htrong broke
down, utterly prostrated by this last sor
row*. in a life that had been one of pari
luff from nil she loved- husband and
children—until this last prop and com
fort of her old age was taken. Tho far

knowledge or strength to lake Robert

Then there came back to her the r".
ward for the deed of charity that ten
years boforo had taken the almshouut
waif into her homo and heart. Wlthou
anv wonderful talent, Lizzie bad a tu u
for art., and Charles Arnold had given he
valuable instructions.

prico would have scarcely supportod her
in tho city, but In hor modest homo l!
was an addition to tho small Income
that gavo Mrs. Htrorig every comfort,
and enabled both to live well In their
quiet, unpretentious way.
A year uftor Robert Htrong dlod Charles
Arnold onco more tried to win Lizzie for
Ills wife, and onco nioro fulled. It was
a hard strugglo between lovo and grati

made it ouslor. 110 said :
"Thiro is au almshouse provided for
destitute old women."
And Llzzlo answered:
"And for orphaned children. Novor

And a few months aftorwurd, Charles
Arnold maariod. but Lizzie's labor of
love lasted ninny years. Mrs, Strong
lived to ho a very old woman, losing in
tho last years of her life all hor knowl

shorter than she; all wore white Jackets

wives of various butcher county widows
and widowers,"out oil second,"us It wore.
Homo of tlio graves had tombstones
of plain Buiulstoiio, without Inscriptions,
unit some were only unadorned tueiiudii
beneath these odd-iooklog little coops.
"Further aloug I frequently saw near

lilt of liiua at tho corners, and often with
the name of the deceased painted oil the
