ILIAN SNELL, tonchor of the lirst grade in building No. 3, pnhlic schools of Windsor, turned quickly frora the blackboard wbere on sheVhad been drawing a ' pert wren swinging on a spray ol clover,
"Who 18 crying?" she asked, in a §weet, firm voice,
"It il lilllo .\gnes Gregory," volun¬ teered a dimple-faced boy who i-at near.
Miss Snell crossed the room and bent ovet the child,
"Agnes, what is il? Can you not tell me all about it?"
Sobs were Agnes's only reply. Miss Snell kissed her gently, then wunt back to her work. When it was Hn ished and tho children all provided with work, she lifted the sobbing child and tenderly carried her to tbo teacher's desk. Here, somewhat removed from the curious little ones, Lihun set about soothing ber pnpil.
Agues wss a pretty fair-faoed ohild ol BIX. She bad mi nny bin 3 eyos and bur hair, n golden oliestiiul, curled about her face und neck. Hur cloth¬ ing was cleuu, but well worn, ond Lil¬ ian noticed Ihe giiping bole in tho tiny shoe as wull as tbu thinness ui the faded dress. Noticed it with a sym¬ pathetic thrill of tho heart thnt throbbed with Bomethingof the divinu spirit of niutherhood toward tbe chil¬ dren in her cure.
Agnes's story was soon told. Her widowed muther bad had no breaklnst for-hor little oues.
"I don't care so ninch about my¬ self, Miss Huull," Iho child wout mi artleaalv, " 'oo;ise I'm lU'iinmn's brave girl, but when little brother Hoycu wakes up he will lie so hungry, and he is only tbree yenrs. Hudoes not know he mustn't cry. "
A little more qneetioning an.l Lilian learned that someone owed Mrs. Greg¬ ory for sewing, also that she hopud to have dinner ready wheu Agnus cumo home.
Lilian looked out into the driving storm of a .Tiinnary forenoon. She knew Mrs. .Ofugory, and her heart aohod for the pale young mother.
Miss Snell was quick of thought and action. Ten minates later Agues was in the warm cloak room feasting on Ihe dainty lunch Mrs. .Snell had prepared for her daughter's midday menl. Tho young tenohur hud writtun a note and a list of articles of food and waa at thu door of the room across tbe hall.
The teacher, Florence Fox, listened sympathetically to Lilian's story and to the suggestion that her own twelvu- year old brother bo called from the sixth grade to deliver thu note.
"Of course Fred can go," she cried, "And Lilian, yon say you have written to Mr. Davis Iho circumstances and aikud hini for good weight. I'll send NU order to cousin Hugh for a half curd of wood, tell him tbe story, and ask bim likewise for good weight."
A faint crimson Hush staioetl Lilian's choek, bnt sbe warmly thanked ber friend and hurried back to ber work.
Mark Davis was a stout, genial-faced man of tbirty-eigbt. He cat in his ulBoe, his morning's work at bis books jnst linisbod, Throngh tbe open door bo oould see briok clerks stepping alxiat in the grocery store frooi which tbe office opened. Thoro was an odor of spices, coffee, fruit and fiah in thu air.
"Kight hundrmt dpllars more profit tbis year than last," tho grocer said lo himself. "Somehow it dou't do a iiiitii any good to pile up money, when he has no one lo spend it on." I
Hero bis reverie was cut shurt by the entrance of a clerk, who ban.led him un envelope, suying, "A boy just ! brought this." I
Two papers dropped from tho en- 1 relopo as he lore it oiiun. The fitA was t list, including » luaf of lirca-l. j polaloes, crackers, drii-.! Iioef aii.i n ! lew uther urtielts. He glsn.-e.l over \ it and opened the other. It was Lil- ; ian'a note. |

.\ half hour later Murk Davis was making hin way np the stairs lo the Iloor ii-,Hiu which Mrs. Gregory'a rooms ware silnated. His kuock al the lirst door was answered by a rcdfort^) voman.
"Mia" Gregory it is yoa »ir wan! in'?"she asked sharply. ".And it*8 no ItaJ news yoa air after bringia' her, I ba|>e. '

spang for it, his childish Isughechoing through th-) room. Then tho grocer followed Mrs. Donnvan to tho home ol Margaret Gregory.
It was a bare pluce, bnt clenn and neat. Murk sighed ss he noted the signs of abject poverty. Whilo thu dellveryman was bring up tho parcels, Mrs. Donavan volubly piplninid thut Mrs. Gregory bad gone to try to get money due her. Tho warm hearted Irish womnn had surmised that for tu ne was nt low ebb wi I h her neighbor, partly lieoanno of liltlo lloyco'a unu snul fretful oeas, which had liueu quieted by a huge slice of bread and butter.
"She's worked ber precioUH flngers 'most to Iho bone," sho ciinclu'led, "but work's scarce, nnd I dou't know wbut's ever goiu' to bucomo of her and her babies."
The wood soon came. Florence's half cord hud been reinforced by a whole cord, perhaps beonuse sho had written hor cousin that tho needy widow WAS a protege of Miss Suell's. As to Lilian's order for groceries, Mr. Davis bnd added to it a sack of llour, a hum, coffee, ten, snijur, apples, cookies, cheese, canned friiitH and meats, and a Iiig bag of cnmly.
Mrs. Donavan went buck to her own room, and the wagons rolled wny. Murk hastily built a llro,llieu sut dowu to think how best to explain tho liber¬ ty be had taken.
Tho baro room faded from bis vision as he sat tbere. In its place came an old oountry garden overgrown wilb roses and clematis. It was June, and the air was beavy witb the scent of many blo.ssom8. By his side wus u beautiful girl in whose ourls thu sun¬ shine Boeraud eutnuglod. He beut lower, and tbe rose red lips of bis companion murmured, "I love you, Mark." Still lower his bead sank un¬ til his lips touched tbe ones that had uttered tbe sweet words.
A start, and be sat opright,g1nnoing around bim. That was ten years ago. He was poor thou, and Margaret, beau tifnl Margaret Henson, bad beea tbu ouly daughter of a wealthy home. So their engagumuiit bad boon forbi.ldon. 'I'hey paited.viiwin'^etornulconBluncT, A year later Murgarut became thu wifo of Vancu Gregory, but it was not until months after that Mark loo mud of the treachery und deceit thnt had beou employed to urge her to that step.
It was too lato then. There wus nothing to do bat to endure.
Ho hud knowu for some time that Margaret was n widow and livud in thu city. He knew nothing of her poverty, supposing that her means wero ample. To go to her now with a story of lovo hud never oocured to him. She knew nothing of what had parted thom. Ho conld not blackun tbe memory of the man wbu bud been bor hasband, tbe father of her children.
Hu siirung to his feet. There was no need of an explunatiuu. He passed oat, pausing for a final word with Mrs. DonaTap.
"Tell Mr.l. Gregory the things cam'e from the teachers at No. 3."
"To be sure, Mr. Dnvis," responded tbo woman, who h'ld recognized Mnrk. "I'll tell hor all 'bout it. And may tbn blissrn's of all Ihe saints rest on your deur head I"
Mark hurried uwuy, leaving a shin¬ ing silver doliur in Koyuo's hand.
It was only a lew minates after his departure thnt u thiuly ulad woman cume toiling wearily up the stairs. 11 wus Margnrut Grugory. Tlm womnn who owud her wus out of town. The needy mother bad applied at severul pluuos lor wurk, only to meet with rofusul. Then she hud gone lo u store and bogged for credit, but iu vain.
Sbe had reached the end. Thero was but ono way open. She would ask Mrs, Donovan to give her children thnir dinuer. When sho hud rested uud conquered the bitter rebellion in her heart she would go out again nnd apply to Ihe city for churity.
Margaret Gregory was prond. Shu was already fnint for thp wuut uf fund, yet sbe turned in loathing from tbi- Ihought ol a meal ohained in thatwuy. It would bu worse than death, but denth does uot comu at one's call, and there were her babies.
A dry sob burst from her lips. Rhe passed Urs, Donavnn's door iu sileuce. She mast have a moment to bcrsoll before she oould ask charity of one bo poor as h^r kind neighbor. Hurrying on, she puihod open her own door.
A bright fire was blazing iu tbe cracked stove. Mrs. Donavan had l^epared potatoes for the ovun and cut slices ready for frying from the bam. Tbo open door of tho wood closet shoaed a huge pile, while tbu table was heaped bigh witb food.
Por a moment she stood gnzing wihlly around her. Then she dropped on her knoes, and a shower of tears re¬ lieved her ovurwroagbt nerves.
'I'he next day's mail broaght a letter from Margaret to Mr. Davis, The writer hod gone to .Miss Snell tu thuuk her. From Iho young leui-hnr she had learned of Mark's connoctiuu with thu affair.
it was an earnest grateful letter, blotted horo and there with tear stains. She aocupteil bin geuerosily, lor her cliildren'sauliu sbe cuuld Uut refuse charity. Sho referred to the friend¬ ship that liu'l existeil between tbeir puronts, but Mark was gla.l that sbe wus tou womuiilv u woiiiaQ to even hint at the relation tbuy had onoe bume to eui-h. When bu linisbod reading the letler, his heart wns light, for he uuderitood that Margaret knew of tbe treuchery thut bul liiottcd tbe hunsbine out ul his life.
.Mark wunt straight homo   snd   tuld bis aunt, who was also his  houseke<ip er. all uliuut it.     Mrs. Everts wus kult- liug ln'fure the upen  cual   fire.

Ooe morning, two nionths later, Flurence Fox triopel across the hall of No. it and entered Miss Snell'F room.
"i>f coarse, yon aro going lo the wedding reception Thursday evening,' she begun. "I think it such a lovely niarringo, don't yon?"
"ludoed I do," Lilian replied warm ly. "Yes, 1 UIU to go iu tho aUernooB nnd help with tbe decorntioiM. Thc whole tioiiso is to bo in green and while, smilax, ferns, rosea and taiant tions. Mrs. Everts says Mr. 'Davii cannot do too much for his bride, 'our dear Margaret,' 'the swuut old ladv culls her."

And Lilian is not that pretty pearl ring and tbe beatiflo expression on cousin Hngh't face the result of my efforts along the same lice of obaritalile work?"
