Xo, we couldn't,” I echoed, more softly still. “ Butoh, it doesseem as if we ought to do something in some way.” We talked it over a good deal after that, Fred and I; and for some time we could think of noth- ing wore than the mimion school, and carrying flowers, jelly, and little tritles to some sick peo- ple we knew.

Meanwhile the weeks were slipping by, and with them Fanny’s little store of money. At last, in desperation, I told her she could at least save her board-bill by ‘coming to our house to stay till she found some employment, and perhaps she could help.me a little about the house, enough to relieve her from obligation; but I could not offer to pay her any thing, because Fred and I had to practice economy, and did not feel able to hire.

Bat there must be at least one little talent, hid awa: in our opportunities somewhere, that we could bring out and ue in the Master's service. At last we thought of something. I can re- member almost the moment. We had such a good little supper that evening—light biscuit and butter, jelly, hot oysters, and remarkab! dtea. Fred was tired and hungry, and e: oyed every thing. But when we had ‘there still remained a goodly portion of oysters steaming im the dish, and plenty of every thing else. “ Pity we hadn’t had company to tea,” said Fred, reflectively. “Oh dear!” sald I, “if we had invited com- pany, I should have had to bake all day, making cake and cookies and tarts, and all such things. ‘That is why I never have tea-parties. I s] be all tired out by the time the folks cam dust so,” replied Fred. “Cake is a folde- im a store or factory, but had destined her to be a ee little ‘wife and housekeeper and mother. On my first baking-day after she came she | made me up the most delicious little cakes and | tarts that I ever tasted.

The next day we held a high festival in the kitchen, and though I don’t think much of cake generally, that day it presented itself to meas a fine art. Ifjyou conld have seen the display on my shelves when the battle was won! Queen cakes, cocoa-nut drops, cheese cakes (which I had read’ of in English stories, but never tasted), jelly tarts and cream tarts, tritles and macaroons. My little pantry had’ never dreamed of such dainties. We selected the nicest-looking of each kind, and when I had borrowed two broad, shallow flower baskets of td | Mrs. Royal to ‘ay them in, we started forth to- fi ther to visit the baker.

And this was the Leo of our Tuesday and ‘Thursday evenings. There was no hard work Or fuss about them at all. We just got up a EE relishable little supper, such as we might ~have had for ourselves, only more of it, and then called in whomseever Providence threw in our way—sometimes not more than one, somet mes three or four. Fred often brought home poor, careworn Nevins, who starved at a fourth-rate toarding , and it heartened him up won- derfully.

We waited and waited, till at last I began to think even Fred himseli would not home, he was so late. But atseven I heard him rushing in at the hall door, and his yoice telling some one where toset the umbrella. . “Oh, hope he has brought Nevins!” I ex- claimed, running out. But it was not Nevins, nor any one I knew; only a red-haired, shrewd-looking boy about fourteen years old, who, Fred explained, had just been taken into the office as an errand-boy, with a chance to work his way up. And Fred added, with a smile, that the little fellow meant to be one of the firm yet. aa don’t think I med saw . a = my fe—a perfect imen of young America— wide awake, Keen, not a bit afraid.

Roger seemed pleased with every book ie og ae with Bertie, whom he called a “cunning little shaver,” looked through the sterescope, examined the albums, and finally wh sat do} Fanny. He seemed to take the greatest fancy to Fanny from the very firs, and his eyes were wandering toward her contin: ually. He found she was from England, and then he plied her with questions about ‘what of it she had seen, in what county she had ved, and how long since she had left there. She was more amused at his curiosity than of- fended, and answered him fully, as one would tell stories of long ago to a child. Fred sat reading his newspaper, and present! called our attention toa curious account, which he read aloud, of a returned soldier looking in vain for his only sister for years. She had heard he was dead, had married, and gone West. The name of her husband he could not learn, nor where she went; and so had searched and in- quired thronghout the country for three years, without finding any clew, till one day he met her face to face in a little village post office in some remote part of Michigan. This led to a conversation on the ways in which friends might be lost to each other, and - brightened ap. He evidently had a story ell. “That is like what has happened to my brother,” he said. ‘May I tell you abeut it, inv” Fred laid down his paper indulgently to listen, I took my knitting, and Fanny, saddened may: be by the talk about her English hone, sat with dreamy sorrowful eyes, looking offiuto vacancy. So Roger began: “You ought to see my brother Phil; he's a splendid fellow. He's onty my balt-brother, but I love him just as well. | He don’t look like me: he has black, curly hair, | andis real handsome. He's a smart business fellow, too, and he is twenty-nine years old; but he don’t get married, because he can’t find girl he’s in love with, though he has andlow. You see, the firm he worked for sent him to England three or four years ago to see to some agency, and there, in some little viilage, | he fell in love on a Sunday with a girl that sung in the choir. You ought to hear him tell about her voice, and how pretty she was. He got ac- | uainted, and saw ber all he couid, and found | she was just as nice ashe thought for, and he thinks she was beginning to like him’ a little; anyway, he at last made tip his mind to propose | to her the y next day, when a telegram came | and took him off as quick as a wink to Liver- | pool; and from there he had to go to Edinbargh, and Wait a good while about something; and then: he was sent to Paris; and, one way and another, it was too months before he could get back to ‘the village where the girl lived. And then he found that the old folks had taken a sudden notion, and sold ont and gone America, taking his ‘little English daisy,’ as he called her, without leaving any word or clew by which he could find them. He came back to New York as quick as ever he could, and made all sorts of inquiries, and advertised, but it wasn’t any use. And he'd be just about heart- broken if he didn’t keep hoping to find her some day. Every time he hears of such a family he hunts them up. He’s away off in San Francisco now on business, and I expect he'll search Cali- fornia through before he leaves, thinking she | may egeg J be there. Isn't it too bad, Mr. Brown? I feel so sorry for him—she was such a nice, pretty girl. I should know her in a min- ute if [saweher: Lam sure I should, for he has | told me just how she looks, with smooth, golden | hair, you know, and shining dark brown eye: T believe I've found her for him now!” he ‘a ded, excitedly. For the last five minutet his | pay ne on him, and now she turned away and into tears. He sprang toward her. ‘ Say!” he exclaimed. «Fanny Gray, aren't you my brother Phil's Fanny Gray?” Ofcourse she was! And wasn’t it splendid? And didn’t I have the romance I wanted to per- fection? She, poor child, had thought, perhaps, after ail, he did not care for her, because he had gone without speaking; and so’she left no mes- sage, never dreaming but what he could tind them easily enou America if he wanted to. But she loved him with her whole heart; and that was why, when she realized how hopelessly they were lost to each other, the brood.ng, wist- ful, sad, Evangeline look came into her eyes and dwelt there. A telegram sped to San Francisco the next day, an inst as auick as the noble through- train on the Pacific Railroad could bring him, Philip Belton e. I liked him the moment I OW pens and glad he looked “little English daisy in his arms!

Her toundering is believed to be largely attributable to the shiiting of this part of her cargo. About 7 o'clock on Sunday morning, when about twenty or twenty-five miles off Point aux Barques, it evident to Capt. Demont that the steamer must be wrecked, and the order was given to stand by the boats. She carried five probably of sufficient capacity to take off ali the people on board in a smooth sea; but insuch a gale, which a staunch steamer could not withstand, there was little hope for a frail yawl-boat. At that time no person on the ill- fated steamer to escape alive. How- ever, their only hope was in the small boats, and one was immediately launched.

It was almost impossible to stay out on e deck, so fiercely was the wind blowing at the time. Nevertheless the small boat was filled with and was safely launched, and drifted Rway foward the Ci shore, and was soon —s ‘sight. second boat was launched and filled with passengers and crew. She was picked up the same afternoon with all her occupants—ten in number—by a Canadian schooner. A — Conden, who had charge of one of the life boats, says: “ On launching her she half full of water, but we bailed her out. There were nine men in the boat with me—tive colored men and four white men. We had all we could do to keep our boat afloat, bailing all the time. Myself and another man steered the boat, and it was all we could do to keep her before the sea,as the waves were running mountain high. We momentarily expected to be swamped. “We saw the boat that was first launched drifting away to the eastward, and watched her for some time. There were nine persons in her, mostly passengers, and they were provided with life-preservers. “A third boat, with fifteen persons in it, was launched soon after we got vit. We ouly’ saw her a few minutes. “A fourth boat was upon the davyits, filled with people, and was about being launched, when the Coburn gave a lureh a) mmediately sank out of sight. The small boat fiilled with people was swamped, and we afterward saw them in the water. When the Coburn went down her upper cabin burst off, and we after- ward saw her floating away covered with people. “ Betore the Coburn went down I saw Capt. Demontstanding on the starboard arch, when a lake. When he rose he caught a barrel that was | floating near him; but he soon sank again and | disappeared. Allthe women were in the cabin or staterooms, and went down with the boat. “We drifted before the wind until about 3 o'clock Sunday afternoon, when we were picked up by the Canadian bark Robert Gastin. “The names of the survivors rescued by the Gastin, so far as could be ascertained, are as fol- | lows:—Capt. John Condon, ‘Thomas’ Derrin, deck hand; John Bridgman, passenger, | of St. Mary’s, Ont., Spencer Churchwell, Henry | Mumford ‘and Jno. Young. The three last | mentioned are colored men.
