He went away in his disappointment, but, not to be vanquished, called the next evening and was shown into the parlor. Soon Miss Constance made her appearance, looking very charming with a red shawl over head and shoulders to avoid draughts.- “She was much better,” she said, “and it was so kind of Mr. Wellington to call and inquire about her. ” She was much troubled about not being at work, but became very cheer- ful when assured that her absence would not cause any inconvenience and that her place would be kept for her until her recovery. All during this conversation she had remained standing, with one foot resting on the little fender—and such a pretty foot, in a dainty slipper! At length, seeing that the young man intended to remain she threw herself into a chair with such an air of parent indifference t posite felt possessed with, a alternately shake and- embrace her.

He was young and never questioned the fact that she might not be “ anybody.” She was somebody to him, for he loved her. As for Constance, when she braided up her hair before retiring she looked in the little mirror and said : “ How good and kind he is. But I mu.st not have him here. ” It is not to be wondered at that after making such a vow .as Willington made something should happen, and some thing did, very soon. One evening, only a few weeks after the visit men tioned, he stormed into the drawing room of his home on State street, and announced his intention of marrying. His mother, well pleased that her son should have come to that conclusion, asked him whether he had chosen the lady yet or not, hoiking in her heart it was Miss Van Norden, of New York. But when informed that her prospec tive daughter-in-law was no one but a “ mill-hand” she became very angry as did the sire, who threatened to disown his son if he did not immediately get over this most foolish infatuation. This last, of course, the young man would to do, and went upstairs. ; day he did not make his ac customed visit to the works, but about 7 o’clock had his high cart at the door, and drove in all glory to the little white cottage wherein dwelt his ladylove. In a short time two jDeople were in that cart instead of one, two very hapjjy peo- 2 ile. And it was on this evening, while driving along the beautiful drives of Ashford, while the frogs sang musically in the neighboring ponds, and after the birds ivere all still, that the owner of the high cart asked the person by his side to share his lot and fortune, and she hlushingly thoughtlessly replied, “yes.” parent ex from town, )H of his Oonstah “You will love me ah you?’’ were his parting v “AJWays, dear Jack/’was the answer from the sweetest lips in town.

All the old woman knew was that her hoarder never had any mail and few visitors. In fact, the only one who had ever come was a man who wore glasses, and he had only been at the house three times in the six months that Miss Con stance lived vith her. The day of the young lady’s departure she had paid her hill and thanked her for her kind ness, saying, as she went, that all would he rewarded when the unexpected hap pened. “The unexpected again !” muttered Willington. “What can that mean ?” Months passed by, and Jack waited anxiously for some word from Con stance, but none came. At last, in No vember, he, with a party of five of the graduates of his class, started off on a six months’ tour through Europe. lu the meantime, Constance—where was she ? The day before her departure a letter had come for her to the mill, on reading which she went at once to tho office of Mr. Lowe, her lawyer, “tho an with the glasses.” “ I received your le “When will you -‘•By 3 o’clock to-morvo-w. “ Good !

She liked her quiet, uneventful life and the few friends she made, and sho decided to live in the old house for tho present, rather to the disapproval of her legal adviser, who thought it would be lonely for the girl. Hov'ei’ei’, a young widoiv, who needed a homo, for a slight con sideration, took up her abode with Con stance, and nm/l.i a most charming chaperon. Soon after the business of her uncle was settled, Constance -wrote a true, womanly letter to Jack AVil- lington, stating that at last the “unex pected” had happened, and that she could now take a stand in society much higher than that of a factory girl. This letter was not answered, and eight long months had rolled slowly by since it was written. Constance Arnold’s heart was very heavy.

The number is supposed to bo increasing, but it must be slowly, for the old walls p- 3 ptill surround the greater part of the population, and the houses built outside are very few.
