MISS LESTER made little Millie
furrier very happy when she of
' leied to fjive her piano lessons. The
eliild nas passionately fond of music,
and to take lessons had been her dear
est dream, but there hull seemed small
chance that it would ever be realized.
| Millie had no piano, and the aunt wun
whom she had lived since her moth
er's death had no money to spare for
luxuries.
Miff' Hester had come to Hardwick
onl> the previous year, hoping
j country air would benefit her invalid
i mother, but her hopes were in vain,
for her mother failed instead of gain
ing'. and died six months later. The
; young lady staid on with her faithful
old servant in the pretty little house
she had rented, feeling that one place
was much like another in her sorrow
and loneliness.
Millie had been one of her first
friends in Hardwick, for the child used
to linger outside the house to listen
as she played, until the lady discov
ered her. and invited her to come in.
And hen came about the proposal that
almost took Millie’s breath away, that
Miss Hester should give her lessons,
and that she should come every day
to practice on the beautiful grand
piano. Millie was an affectionate
child, and she almost worshiped the
kind friend who had opened a new and
delightful world to her. and her grate
ful little heart longed to do something
in return. It all seemed quite impos
sible. but it was destined to be real
ized beyond her fondest hopes. And
this is the way it came about:
On tlie following May .fudge Han
cock’s little girl gave a lawn party and
invited all the children of the village.
I’oor little Millie had no dress to
wear, and she sadly admitted it when
Miss Lester asked her if she was go
np
The voting lady said no more then,
but just ns Millie had finished her
practicing and was preparing to go
home, her teacher came into the room
with a lovely gown in her hand.
It was a [link cashmere, embroid
ered with tiny sprays of lilies of the
valley.
M^rparet smiled at Millies admira
tion. but there were tears in her eTes
as she said, half to herself: “What
happy days 1 have seen in that dress!”
and then continued, as Millie looked at
her inquiringly: “My father boupht it
for me the winter we spent in Paris.
I wore it on my birthday, and we had
a little fete: we four only, my motner,
and father and—one friend.”
"What a lovely present! and did vou
have other presents on your birth
day?" asked Millie, who loved to hear
of those pala days which stie bad never
known.
“Oh. yes. books and candy, and doz
ens of pink roses and masses of lilies
of the valley to match my pown. and
a beautiful diamond locket,containinp
a miniature.”
“Oh. Miss t.ester, mav I see ‘he lock
et?” asked the child, ear°rly.
ller friend looked suddenly prave
and stern as she said: “No. I haven’t
it on now." and Millie, thouph lonptnp
to know if it were lost, or what its
fate, da ret 1 ask no more (pies t ions. Hut
the next moment, the younp lady sur
prised her In tellinp her she was to
have the pown and wear it to the chil
dren's party, and invitinp her then and
there to po to the dressmaker’s to have
her measure taken, so that the work
of mnkinp over the dress could In* be
pun at once.
At last the day came, and when she
was really dressed in all her finery,
her delipht knew no bounds.
How lovely Millie looked, and how
she enjoyed starinp at herself in her
friend's lonp mirror! It was hard to
tell which was the prettier sipht. the
child herself, or her innocent delipht
in her appearance.
The party itself was fairyland to her,
with the beautiful lawn and parden.
liphted by Chinese lanterns as dark
ness fell, the luxurious mansion, the
payly dressed children, and best of all
the music, for a small orchestra was
provided, and there was dancinp on
,he broad piazza.
There was a lull in the music while
the performers were havinp refresh
ments. and Millie w: ■ • '• • an

in the summer house, when a < !l '

«he would ask me. so 1 pot out of it.
somebody told her that you conld piny. I
Millie Currier, hut she docs not know
where you are. so you are all ripht.”
Millie flushed tit the mere thoupht of
plnyinp before so many people, and she
was tempted to remain where she was.
Imt Miss Lester’s influence made itself
felt. She did not formulate it. imt she
felt unconsciously that since her kind
teacher had done so much for her, H
was only ripht she should make somt
use of what had been so peneronsly
piveu her. And so, despite the remon
•trnnres of the other*. she left th<
(fiunc and returned to the houi>e.
Very timidly she madekptwn her er
rand to Mr*. Hancock, who smiled a
kind approval upon her. as site thanked
her. and told her that the children had
run away, thinking the (’amp was (riven
j up. but would probably soon return
| In the meantime would not Millie play
one of her pieces? Mrs. Hancock asked.
There were several people in tin
drawing-room, among them a gentle
man whose appearance had created
some excitement from its being n. un
I expected.
Mr. Darrah was an old friend of the
Hancocks’ nut it was several years
since they had seen him, owing to his
long absence abroad, lie happened to
lie traveling through their part of the
country, and finding that he should be
obliged to pass the night at Kastern
.1 suction, only ten miles'distant from
Hardwick, he had hired a horse and
carriage and driven over to call upon
his friends.
They w ere delighted to see him, and
hospitably urged him to spend the
night. He declined the invitation, how -
ever, as he wished to take the first
train in the morning from i: i *■
tion, and so must drive buck that enn
ing.
They assured him thnt. lie could not
escape dining with them, as they had
postponed their dinner until eight
o'clock on account of the children’s
party. He expressed his pleasure at
being able to do so. ami they were in
full tide of earnest conversation when
'.*111 lie came into the room.
was in the midst of a sentence
when his eye fell upon her. and he sud
denly stopped, evidently much im
pressed in some way by her appear
ance. He watched her intently while
she played, and at the close, when
others were applauding her for hav
ing done so remarkably well, he w ent
over to the piano and began to talk to
her.
Mrs. Hancock, seeing his interest in
the child, proposed to Millie that she
should take him to the refreshment
tent for an ice. The arrangement was
most agreeable to both of her guests,
who were soon on such friendly terms
that the gentleman went so tar as to
admire his companion’s dress.
"If you can buy such pretty ‘Iiings in
Hardwick," said he, "1 shall advise my
lady friends to come here to do their
spring shopping.”
“I guess you were never in our Hard
wick stores,” answered Millie, laugh
ing merrily at the idea. ".No, indeed,
this dress came from Paris!" and not
without pride, she glanced at her com
panion to observe the effect she was
producing by her surprising state
ment.
* He looked a* startled ns she could
have w ished.
“Is that where you do your shop
ping?" he inquired, smiling, though his
voice had a curious sharp ring.
"Oh, no, of course not, I never was
there. .My music teacher gave me this.”
"And her name?" he asked, breath
lessly.
“Miss Lester," said Millie.
He drew a sharp breath. "Mis* Mar
garet Lester?" he demanded.
"Yes, that is her name," replied Mil
lie. surprised in her turn at his excite
ment.
“And she is not married?”continued
Mr. 1 )ai i ah.
“No. indeed. She is ail alone. Her
mother died last year, and she is very
sad and lonely.”
“Where does she live?" he asked, ab
ruptly. "Not in this town?”
“Yes, just below here." Millie replied,
“you can see the house from here; that
yellow one with the cupola," pointing
it out.
“Thank you very much,” said her
strange companion, and in a moment
he was outside the grounds, hurrying
down the street.

passed, and still nothing was seen >f

Just tell 'em that you saw it in TheJoumal
debating as to the advisability of re
tiring. when the culprit appeared,
breathl-ss and heated as though from
hurrying.
When he could speak he began his
apologies. He was assured that he
could be pardoned on only one condi
tion; that he make a full and free ex
planation of his erratic behavior.
He agreed that his rudeness demand
ed it. and. not without contusion, re
lated his story.
Three years before, while living in
Pans, where his business interests de
manded liis presence, he had met Miss
Lester and become engaged to her.
Then a wretched misunderstanding
arose, and they quarreled and parted.
To change the proverb slight ly. “They
quarreled in haste, to repent at leis
ure.*' Soon after the Les'crs left
Paris anil returned to America. lb
heard accidently <>f Mr. Lester's dent It.
and then a rumor reached him of the
young lady's approaching marriage,
but he soon lost all trace of her. On his
return to America the previous winter,
he tried in vain for news of her. They
had no mutual friends of whom he
could inquire, and he could learn abso
lutely nothing of her.
The dress which Millie wore was one
he w -II remembered, and aroused his
interest and curiosity at once. The
rest they knew.
Here peals of laughter met him. and
the judge said, gravely; “You have re
lated events up to seven o'clock this
evening. It is \\ il h the last four hours
we have now to deal. You have onTy to
begin the story instead of ending it.”
“A cs; go on, go on." they all cried.
The poor fellow looked confused, in
deed. for a moment, polished man of
the world as he was, but recovering
himself, he said: "I must leave that to
your imagination. It ought to suffice
to be told that the engagement is re
newed."’
And Miss I,ester, or Mrs. Darrnh. as
she became soon after, was fond of re
minding Millie that because she was
kind and obliging and returned to the
drawing-room to play, as Mrs. Han
cock wished, she had been the means of
making two people happy for life.
These same people hi1 re ever the best
of friends to Miiiie, whom they loved
hardly less than t heir ow n child ren. She
was educated as her first teacher had
planned, and became an artist of no
small merit; and. what is better, a good
and noble woman. Portland Tran
