Lacoy Laccy who found It ii ver very lonely In Frankfort without Fann Fanny and had several times spoken of re returning re- re turning to New Orleans But when ho learned learnell that Fanny Fann was coming coining back he suddenly changed his mind and concluded that Frankfort would be a charming charming- winter residence This ThI was laughingly told to Fanny by Kate who had learned to love c her vcr very verj much Julia she sime disliked ed for sh she had at last drawn from Mr 11 Miller th the whole history of her proceedings am and she could but look 1001 upon the false false- hearted girl Irl as accessory to her hem brothers brother's broth broth- ors or's death dath Julia knew that by bv the time fair Northern North North- em ern beauty she was secretly despised but she did not care for she had con con- a great reat friendship for Mrs 4 Carlington Carrington Car Car- rington lington whom she often otten amused with wit her remarks s about New York people Once she said I do wish

fo for she too was greatly b by the tin presence of Mr Mi Millor and amid Kate The Th latter she looked upon as a rival fo foshe for forshe forshe she was said ald by hy ever every one to have the tin most beautiful face in Frankfort This ThI greatly displeased c Mrs Ills who before Kates Kate's arrival had been considered the belle of the town s so far as beauty beaul was concerned She also felt great contempt for Kates Kate's oc occupation occupation oc- oc as a teacher and antI said ald She Sin didn't see why chy folks should mal make e such an ado over a poor pOOl music teacher Once In speaking on the subject to Dr Lace Lacey Lacer she sue said I am glad I wa was not born horn In New York for then I 1 should hould have been heen obliged to pick up chips split wood dig potatoes wash wasl h dishes and amid teach school Dr DI Laceys Lacey's reply to 0 this timis remark was I think Mrs you ou will admit that time tile young youns ladles ladies who como come hero helo from the time North almost almos always possess superior uJ ed education Now If they spent much time lame In splitting split split- ting lug wood and dl digging ling potatoes I am sure the they could not acquire so much I knowledge It Mrs i Carrington answered Oi Of course courso you OU feel Interested ted In New Yorkers for 01 Fanny Fann has taken laken a great fanc fancy to them and whatever site she likes you vou must like of course Yes I 1 know Fanny likes hikes our NewYork New NewYork York friends very much said Dr Lacey And I think you OU will allow that she shows show's good taste in the time choice of oC her hem associates Oh Ohm yes admirable returned Mrs almost as good sooth taste as some somo of or my acquaintance show In preferring pre pre- erring ferring her hel What do you ou mean macan asked Dr Lacoy Why I mean salt said Mrs Irs ton on that I am puzzled to know what attraction such a sImple minded girl as Fanny Fann can have for Cor a person of your Intelligence Dr Lace Lacey bit hit his lip up but forcing down his anger sal said l She Sho possesses the same attraction which ever every guileless innocent person has Guileless less and Innocent repeated Mrs l rather call can her artful artful artful art art- ful and designing Depend upon It doctor you OU have havo only seen the bright brightside side bide of or her disposition You should see her In her room and amid know how ho much trouble her sister has with her hel She ml might ht have said more but hut Dr Lacey stopped her h by saying rather warm warmly Mrs Irs ton you ou shall not talk so about Fanny Fann I know you do not nol like her and con consequently whatever you can say of her will have no effect upon nm me me So saying he quilted the apartment leaving Mrs Irs Carrington to her own reflections The They were not very pleasant for or Dr Laceys Lacey's manner had said n as plainly as words could sa say that she sho had better mind her own business and she he began besan to think too tio herself V for she muttered After Arter all what la Is It to me If IC he ho does like Fann Fanny Fanny Fan Fan- n ny I am ani bound fa fast t. t but oh If I were free tree Id I'd compass heaven and earth to secure him Her wish to tobe tobo bo he free was soon realized That afternoon when tho the Sea Gull came up from Louisville It brought home her husband wearied worn out and sick He took his imis bed bcd and never left his imis room again until strong men carried him out and laid him down downto to 0 sleep In the silent ont graveyard The Time close of his life tire was calm and peaceful peace peace- ful Cui UI fox for he had earl early eho chosen en the betor better bet bet- ter or part and he looked upon the grave as u but a It stone steppIng from roam earth carth to heaven HI His life was a dreary

by the kind care of or Fanny who gave av him all il the time she could possibly spare parc from school duties Mrs Carrington Canington found It vcr very convenient to call upon her hel I whenever she

bore fruit unto everlasting life Ufe At last the chilling dews came caine upon ulon his forehead hi his eye CO grew cw dim with time the mists of death and then lien he laid his cold white hand on Fanny's s head hend and prayed played most earnestly that heavens heaven's heavens heaven's heavens heaven's ens en's choicest blessings both here hero and amid hereafter might de descend upon one who
