By Carolyn B. Lyman In Recreation. cat-tail- s. Red-win- I grew up an orphan in a boarding school where expenses were reasonable and advantages fair. The bachelor uncle who had provided for me from babyhood, but never had me with him, died a month before my graduation, and nothing was left of his estate except debts and legal tangles. So 1 thought myself fortunate when I secured the position of primary teacher In Glendale Institute. I was only nineteen, and possessed no enthusiasm for teaching in Itself. My brain and heart were too full ef Idle fancies and selfish ambitions, which had come to fill my heart In the absence of all home ties. I looked on teaching as mere drudgery, and Intended to use It only as a stepping-ston- e to something I thought far higher. My art oh, what dreams pursued me! Let me hasten to save a thousand dollars, hurry abroad, have lessons, work with mad seal, then leap to the topmost pinnacle In my beautiful art! A thousand dollars Isnt easy to save when one's salary Is only three hundred a year above board and the vacations are to be provided for. Tonng and sometimes called pretty, I thought that two hundred dollars a year spent on dress represented the closest possible economy. Hon-eet- y compels me to Interpellate here that I cannot recollect anyone's calling me pretty except John Archibald, and of course Johns opinion on any subject whatsoever meant little to me; for John was just a plain, everyand day young fellow, honorable wholesome as the sunshine, but terribly practical. In fact mundane, in all his views and projects. He resented my art dreamB, and I detested what 1 called his lack of ideals. At the end of four years teaching I had saved only two hundred dol lara, and Europe and the masters were still far beyond my reach. I dont know why they had retained me as primary teacher at Glendale. Certainly there was no hint of future promotion, and 1 have realized since how far from excellent my work was while 1 taught for money and dreamed of art Dut when I had counted my I remarked: savings thoughtfully 1 shall put "This Is a fair nest-egg- . by the rest quickly. I must renounce all folly, and especially go to economising In dress. Joan, being my prime folly, 1 sent away forever, and settled down to work In good earnest Then It was that Edwards letter came. "I am dying. Gall, and there Is no one to send my little girl to except yc, he wrote. "Nor have I any money left for the child; but with or uncle's estate you ought to find K easy to provide for her. Take her, he good to her, and so Heaven will deal with you." J I did not remember my a dward. who had left home la the days when ws had a home. Aad he never had remembered me, I told myself now ia bitterness, until he needed me. No, I did not want the ehlld, could not take her. She would toterfsre with my ambitions; she would tie me to drudgery, defect my aspirations, rob me of my art Why, It would be as bad as taking John! I wrote n cold letter rejecting my brother's death-berequest, and bast sued to mall It, wondering, meantime, If n telegram would not be better. When I came back to my room, a lonely Uttle figure sat there by the window. Trustingly the small creature came to me. "Arent you Aunt Gail? Im Kitty. Papa's friend brought me to you, because papa had to go far away; but he said you would love me." I did not want to love her; I did not want her; she was an Intruder thrust Into my life, and I had tbs right quietly to put her aside. The wicked part of me said all this within rapidly and vehemently, while the child and 1 gazed at each other. Thankful am I that the wicked part waa not all of me; for when Kitty asked me, still In sweet confidence: "Haven't you forgotten to kiss me. Aunt Gall?" I stooped and took hor In my arms, and have loved her dearly ever since. For two months I had Kitty to board with me at the Institute; but the arrangement proved unsatisfactory. It was expensive, and was not good for the child. I began to comprehend some thtngs; and one day told myself suddenly that Kitty and I must have n home. It had been borne In upon me that my Ufa had missed something sweet and uplifting, and with tfcs realization of tbs loss cam also tbs dear hope that I might find It yet. A home what aacred meanings It might impart to half-brothe- r for-otte- existence! Nobody coold have been trustees when I talked to him about Kitty. "A home for the little one, Miss Burton? Yes, I speak for all, and give you permission to move from the institute. We will call your salary five hundred dollars when you board yourself." I walked on air, straight to Widow Blount's, who agreed to rent me half her tiny cottage for eight dollars & month. I drew a hundred dollars from the bank, and fitted up our little nest, beginning with a snug kitchen in the rear, then a cosy and tasteful sitting room, where we also should dine and have tea, and finally our spacious room, where I set up two white beds, a pretty dresser and chiffonier, a handsome screen, and all the personal belongings that we two had. You might have thought our nest cheap and bare, but never did two prouder housekeepers take possession of their establishment. My hundred dollars was gone for furnishings, and I had to draw out twenty more when ( paid for the screen and our forget-me-no- t tea service. This left only eighty dollars In the bank for the rainy days that might come; but I stoutly set out to keep house and dress us both within my salary, and still put aside a little to educate Kitty on. We kept no maid, only paid a woman fifty cents for every Saturday morning's cleaning. I did the rest of our work, with Kitty's help, and my part Indeed was easy, with her little feet trotting joyously after me. The table cost us fifteen dollars a month. We might have lived on even less at that time in our little college town, where gardens and orchards abounded; but it was Kittys growing time, and close care and some extra expense were required for her food. By much study and contriving. 1 achieved the feat of dressing myself and my little one on a hundred dollars a year while she was so small. How the old dresses were refashioned, cut down, each scrap saved, everything made to do duty twice or thrice overt It was not easy, for a teacher has to appear well at all times; yet I found a certain relish and sweetness In the small sacrifices and the contriving and planning. Now, out of a balance of a hundred and fifty dollars a year I had to prosummer vide for the unemployed months, meet Incidental expenses of various sorts, and pay for fuel and occasional doctor's bills. The latter were rare, as I naturally was strong and exercised utmost care with my small charge. Out of my salary ths first year after Kitty's advent I was able to put only twenty dollars in the bank; but I had not drawn on the eight dollars left there before. But with the new Interest In my life, the pleasant stimulus and the new unselfishness, I had begun to work as never before, and to my surprise soon found a joy tn teaching and heights beyond me that I might aspire to climb. When, therefore, in venour second year's ture, good fortune came to me in the form of promotion to a higher grade In the institute, I was elated no less over the recognition of my better work than over the increase of salary, which I needed so much for Kitty. They gave me her tuition at the Institute too, and she and I danced for joy. She now was nine years old, and strong enough to begin her education. And she should have music, We she should "Inherit" my art! were as happy as two princesses. Five dollars a month of the additional ten had to go for a piano now. Kitty had her practice morning and afternoon, and I sang often In the evenings; but for a long time I did not sing, after my old schoolmate wrote me from the city that John Archibald was going to marry an heiress there, his employer's only daughter. How can a man forget so easily? Well. 1 had Kitty I When the third year of our housekeeping was closing, 1 thought that 1 must celebrats the anniversary by giving a little supper to two of Kitty's friends and two of mine. I was deep In the preparations for this party ths day before our happy date, and scarcely noticed when the bell called Kitty, Then a curious thing happened. To this hour nobody knows how the child made that famous mistake of showing the caller Into our snug kitchen Instead of to the sitting room adjoining. Perhaps it was that her elation over the approaching party had run too high, perhaps only her excitement over something she divined in the stranger's face and manner. At any rate, when I looked up from my pleplnklng and frilling I found John Archibald's good, honest eyes fixed on me. I might leave you to guess the rest Anyway, he had not married the heiress, and he had not taken my forever to mean longer than three years. I think It was Kitty that brought me back," he said "I mean hearing of Kitty, and the little home you had made for her. How else should I have known that you really had a heart?
