please turn to ye nauction?'
As theso words fell on his ear, Mr.
Komatn turned and saw two little chil
dren standing on tho stops, a chicken
held tightly under the arm of one of
tbem.
Tuey were pretty children, too aboy
and a girl, exactly the same size. Uloade
curls crowned each shining head; brown
eyes, with long, curling lashes, looked
frankly out from under straight, clear
cut eyebrows, and two little pug noses
turned up merrily from tho little rosy
mouths that were always smiling be
neath. No, not always; for there was a
frightened little quiver about them now,
as their owners looked up timidly at
thc stern, handsome man who was so
earnestly regarding them.
"Come to your what?' repeated Mr.
Komain.
"To our nauction,' the boy explained
"Papa's gone to Heaven, and wes goin'

Why, it seems fairly barbarous,
thought Mr. Bomain, indignantly, as
he entered what had been the pleasant
home of his friend Tom, and was so
soon to be left desolate uader the hands
of tho auctioneer
It was early in the day, but already
the house was filled with neighbors
who had come from miles around to at
tend the sale; and as Mr. Bomain moved
among them his eaks were constantly
greeted with remarkska the foolishness
of "signin for people." m
Sick at heart, he entered the little
kitchen back of the house, which was
as yet unocenpied, save by Mrs. Blake's'
fsltbful old colored cook, Aunt- llsncy.
She was sitting oa ai? split-bottomed
chair, rocking herself to and" fro and
occasionally wiping her eyes with' her
blue-checked apron.
"Where is your mistress, auntie?
Mr. Bomain askod.
There was a kindly ring in his voice
that unlocked the old woman's bur
dened heart, and she sobbod aloud as
she answered:
"Ob, massa, she dono took do chill

Rachel. It jest broko my po' ole heart
to see 'em go! But Miss' lilake say she

The inscription does not quite make
the circuit of the bell, aad the space be
tween the two ends is ornamented with
little diagonal figures, which to Mr.
Miller suggested the Jtevr de lit of
France, but they seemed too regular in
shape for this design. A plain part of
the bell is ornamented in the same man
ner. There is no date, but the bell is
discolored and seems to be eaten by its
long burial. The scholarship of Eliza
beth has been unable to decipher the
inscription, and as there was never a
b
convent or similar institution situated
near the place where the rel to was un
earthed it is a natural conclusion of the
owner that in case it contains precious
metals it is part of a buried treasure.
