Irene dropping tho book and thoughtfully gaxing Into the fire for oh mam- I cannot but feel that It was no accident which brought her here- I hear a I think of her eyes which says Inasmuch have doneit

It brilliant ball and many tbo bestowed on beautiful daughter Thoughtful beyond said one matron to another I dont like thoughtful people myself and her eye own daughter who was the of a gay group Mr watched with anxiety Too well she knew the character of the thoughts brought that shado of melancholy to the girls fair face which an added brow I wonder if that one baa any covering for her shivering little limbs thought Irene In her dainty bed hours later if she went home to a stove and to drunken parental her end sleep were a pair of dark pleading eyes a halfclad shivering little figure standing

every call of public charity but there duty ended Far too indo lent was she by to care what individual her money might relieved how many Jives sho might from despair It was thing to do other rich people did it and so sba wm absolved from coming in contact with poverty and suffering Indeed she did cot believe want and misery could exist in great city where so much money was given annually to the several missions crime drink and in dolence at bottom of it widow and tbo fatherless had no in her argument much in her heart She will forget it and that the thought that brought sleep to her pillow Still said Irene the next gazing from dow again What terrible weather for the poor Her mother shaded her eye with her hand but made no reply If that child would there as she did yesterday continu ed Irene what relief would be to nit Perhaps she will aatd her mother if the servants give attenlion exclaimed Irene reproachfully Ob mamma l Thickly fell the steadily covering with a white mantle as with a veil of charity all spots on Mother Natures bosom purifying all her making her fair to At the edge of the sidewalk di rectly opposite the window the snow had drifted into a mound whose pecu liar ahapo attracted eye of girl like a grave thought with a shudder watched the flakes as they fell upon it with a fascination she could not resist Steadily they fell She may have back and sunk down there in the night tboagbt the girl the tears silently rolling down her cheeks and tho filled those beautiful eyes Ob I hope the tils are over she cried aloud it would be terrible if they net terrible The lids over them exclaimed mother hastily moving toward her My dear child what can you be thinking of words make me think of coffins And you are weep ing Why Irene Oh mamma it would be better if were lying in instead of out there under with open eye trying to into mine trying to tell me bow touch stood in need me yesterday how much of and misery might have spared her Oil what shall
