MISS BECKY S HOME.
Mi** Becky wn» going to the "Olr,
Ladies’ Horne” at. lust. It wa* a
sorry fact, but tlier* was nothing else
for 'ier to do, it seemed. Who would
think of ottering any other home to a
poor, old woman, who had outlived
her usetulne**. Having pas*ed her
day* in Other |t*ople'* houses, so to
■l>eak, she might not mind it a* much, !
perhaps, a* a more fortunate being
■•Yes.” she said, (here’s a vacancy
in the'Old Ladle*' Home,’ and the
hundred dollar* that Parson Armory
left to me will pay my way in, but it
wouldn’t last long il I begun to spend
it, you know, and I shall have a
warm bed and my regular meals
without worrying about where the
next one’s coming from. I'm 'most
tired worrying ubnut rvaye and
means. Heern* a* though I hail been
about it all my life; ever since father
wa* taken with neart disease hearing
the class in algebra. Now that the
rheumatism has gotten the better of
me, *o that I can’t work In cold
weather, and the doctor says It’ll
draw my linger* ho that I can’t use
them soon. It doesn’t *e<-m a* if -there
was anyt hing left tor me in t his world
hut the Home and I ought to he
thankful for that.”
Miss Becky hod had other expecta
tions in tier heyday, when young Lar
ry Rogers met her and cari i.-d her
basket; when hi* strong arm paddled
her down the broad river to church
on Hunday mornings; when they sang
1_.4 1. L |L- . .1. ealse il.usu..,..
hymn book; when they loitered home*
ward in tin* fragrant Hummer duek,
and heard the whip-poor will com- ;
niaiii and etftrtlfd theli'C ftien la the ;
an thiV brushed hy. It come ;
tiim* seemed to Mi** Becky oa if all ’
f ill* )iad happened in another planet. I
Hlie wae young then, with a bloom on
her cheek, hut, although the rheunia
lieni had bent her HgiK* and rend'trd
her more or less hupele»« at time*,
yet her dark, velvety eye* looked out
like eofi *tar*. and the gtiOMt, of a dim
ple etill flickered on her cheek and
chin In suila of her sixty year*. Mi**
Becky’* lather Imd been the district
school teacher in those far-off day* of
her girlhood. He hod taught her the
simple lore at III* command, hut It
wa* Harry Roger* who hod taught her
music hour after hour in the empty
*chool-hou»e; they had practiced to
gether while he wrote the score on the
blackboard.
But all this had not eufliccd to cm
ahl* her to earn a livelihood. Her
education, mUMical and otherwise,
had stopped short of any commercial
value. In those day* she never ex
pected to earn her living by the *weat
of her brow. Horry wa* going to give
her everything. How trivial the tittle
quarrel seemed to-day which circum
vented thi* final resolve ol hi*1 But
what magnitude it had a**iiined at
the time! On hi* return from a trip
to a neighboiing city, some busybody
bad whispered to Harry that Ml**
Becky had been seen driving with
Hquire Eustls’ son Ham behind hi*
trotter*. Ham wa* just home from
college, a harum-scarum fellow, they
said, who made love right and left
and gambled a hit; and when lairry
reproached her with it ehe had not
denied; ehe had simply *aid: "What
then? If you choose to listen to gos
sip rather than wait till you—"
"But you didn’t tell me, and I’va
been here a week."
"I had forgotten all about it till you
reminded me.” eaid Becky.
"ft'* euch an everyday alfalr for
you to drive with Ham Eustis!” which
incredulity so wtung Becky that she
would not condescend to explain that
she had can led some needlework up
to squire r-ueus, which hiih nau oeen
doing for his wife, and ttiat as slis left |
to walk liome Ham was just starting !
off with Ins smart chaise and new dan- j
pis greys, ami the Hquire had said,
“Take Miss Becky home, Ham, and
show tier their paces;” and how she
had been ashamed to refuse their
kindness, although preferring to walk
a t housand times; and how,once in the
chaise, Ham had been the very pink of
courtesy, and begged her to drivs over
with him to Parson Amory's, three
miles out of her way, “that Lucy
Amory may see you don’t disdain my
company. For you see," said Ham,
who was not as black as he was paint
ed, or as many liked to suppose, “Lu
cy can m«ke me what she will; with
out her I shall be nothing and no
body; but they’ve told her all kinde
of wild things about me; they’ve told
her she might ae well jump into the
river ae marry such a scapegrace.
And, perhaps, if 1 made her a little
jealoue—you know there's no harm in
that, is there? All's fair in love; and,
perhaps, if the old folkseee me driving
about with Becky Thorne my stock
may go up, and 1 may he ‘saved from
the burning,’ as Parson Amory says.”
And Becky had consenteu. How
could she refuse to do a service lor j
such a true lover? Ho slight a thing, >
loo' She had often traversed the ;
same road since on foot, on her daily
rounds of toil or mercy. Ham Fustis |
had married I-ucy Amory years ago,
and was the foremost man in the
county today. Htrauae how that
drive had interfered with Mies Becky's j
prospers, how that simple fact of '
carrying home Mrs. Fust is' needle
work should have determined her late
and devoted hrr to a life of hardshiii
ami the 3ld l-adiea' Home at the end'
Talk ol trifW Poor Mise Becky! '
Hite rvmemtiered once or twice the op
portunity had offered when rlw might
have made it up with l-arry; but :
pride, or a sort of tine reserve, had
locked her lips I .any ought to know
that she was above silly iitttalMMta.
Once, when they met at Iss'y Amort e |
wedding. when they all went out Into j
the orchard while llie bride planted I
a young tree and the gueete looked
fur four-leaved clovers, she had lound
herself - whet her by accident or 4*

Ned Amory ce>l*d In Larry

oh!—I *hall die—I shall faint!"
And that wa* the cud of it.
The old orchard, with it* fragrant
ipiince huehe*, it* gnarled Apple tree*,
it* fourleaved clover*, wax a thing of [
the pa*t; a cotton mill roared and
thundered all day long, where the
bird* Innlt ami the tree* hlo**omed
thirty odd year* ago. It no longer
hlo**omed except in Mi** Hecky'*
memory. Hue had turned tier

bank where tier little earning* bad !

her high and dry. Homo of tier friend*

"No; but you'll hav* a nice room

“I dare eay," returned Mi** Becky.
"Now if it hadn't been for the rlieu

you that $100, after all. He might
have doubled it."
“Yes, 1 suppose so,’’ Miss Becky au*
swered meekly. Perhaps she was i
thinking that, ilshe were Mrs. Dwight,
no old friend of hers should go begging
for a refuge At an almshouse. Per
haps she was thinking of the pretty,
comfortable home waiting for her
friend, and wondering why their for
tunes were so unlike.
“Write when you reach Plymouth,
and let me know how you aresuited.”
said Mrs. Dwight, and just then tho
cars gave a lurch and left her behind,

beside her.
“Your Irlend was speaking of Par
