Krom the Akune for January.

Her real uarae was Lucinda. I doubt if J a n e <»ay had ever read the story ot t h e Li t t l e Glass S l ipper; but if s h e had s h e never would h a v e t h o u g h t o f g iv ing to her o n e haby s u c h a b e a t b e u i s u , out-of- lbe-way ap­pellation a s Cinderella. T h e chi ld w a s n a m e d for her g r a n d m o t h e r ; a good , o ld-fashioned, substantial n a m e t h a t had been in the Gay family lor generat ions. N o t that a n y o n e cal led h e r by it, unless o n c e in a whi le , in s o m e suudeu stress o f anger or oflended dignity . S o m e t i m e s it w a s Cinda, b u t general ly Chidy—and th i s last the girl UkwaTbeatofall . S h e learned to like another mill better after a time—but thereby liaogs a tale.

You remember the gold-fever, the sudden wild en thus iasm t h a t swept over t h e whole laud l ike a toruado in 1848, a n d bore ao m a n y adventurous y o u n g m e n t o the Pacific c o a s t ? Wel l , Phi l l ip Gay w a s o n e o f t h e Brat t o g o , a n d o n e o f the first t o die . H e uwSwrcauMhaek. B i s wife led a half-and-smtfaoct o f ex i s t ence that was n o t life, for a year or t w o ; and t h e n followed h im to t h a t u n k n o w n land that is a t o n c e s o m u c h Bearer and so m u c h farther than California. V e r y tar, very remote-, i t s .* ined t o the litt le Cindy .

B u t s h e was no t left utterly desolate . A u n t Ti l ly l ived in Mil l thorpe; aud after the funeral s h e took t h e child h o m e with her. After the cot tage and t h e hi t o f land were sold, and the debts were paid, it w a s found t h a t there was a trifle l e f t—enough, if well invested, t o c lo the the girl and t o send her t o s e b o o l for a year or t w o . S o s h e was no t • n i t * penni less .

A u d there in Millthorpe w e find her , o u the e v e of her e ighteenth birthday. I l h a s been a long, h o t J u l y d a y ; but n o w t h e sun has g o n e d o w n in a blaze o f glory, and a soft purple liaae l ies low in the val leys. T h e bouse , w h i c h s tand well back frooj l ite vil­lage street , is thrown o p e n that the grateful cool o f the e v e n i n g m a y steal in a t wiudow a a d doorway. Mrs. Munro s tands i a t h e wide entrance hall , witli a troubled face, and a n o p e n letter in uer band , t i e r daughter , El izabeth , a tall , dark-haired girl ot t w e u t y , bent towards t h e wes t w i n d o w , reading by t h e w e s t w i n d o w , reading by the fast-waning UghL Laura , t h e younger , l ies languidly o n the sofa, fanning herself. _ ,

Cindy l ias j u s t finished putt ing away the*] tea-things . S h e has polished t h e last tea-spoou , Biade t h e glasses t i c a r and bright, brushed the crumbs off the pantry shelf, and "set sponge" for to-morrow's bakiug. For her , too , the hour o l rest has c o m e , and she has dropped d o w n on the back door-step, for a little coolness and quiet . N o t that she is s o very t ired; for s h e has perfect hea l th , aud is generally the blithest little creature under t h e s u n . Y e t , t o n i g h t , s h e looks a trifle worn and weary.

J u s t then Mrs. M u n r o c a m e o u t with the open letter in her hand .

"I don't k n o w what to d o , Cindy,'' s h e said. "1 hate to refuse, anil it's such a fuss to have bint comer

" H a v e w h o c o m e . A u n t Ti l ly ?" "Ob, I forgot! You don't know. Why, I

have j u s t go t a letter from Miss Al . l eu , w h o | boarded here o n e s u m m e r . S h e wants m e to take her brother for a few m o n t h s . He ' s a painter, or something.'*

Cindy's face sparkled all over, " l i e ' s more than that," s h e said. "Miss A Men told m e about bint. l i e ' s a real artist."

"What 's the difference ?" asked A u n t Til ly. "I'd be wil l ing to have h i m c o m e , j u s t toob l ige his sister, but i t will m a k e so m u c h more work—and—"

" N e v e r m i n d that , A u n t Til ly," interrupted Cindy . "I don't m i n d the work, if y o u think beat t o have h i m come.''

Brave little C i n d y ! S h e never did "mind t h e work f a n d t h e result w a s , s h e had it all t o d o . T h o s e w h o are wil l ing to be burden-bearers for others , have n o difficulty in find­ing t h e burdens. N o t o n e o f that family meant to be unjust or ungenerous. But Elizabeth w a s "literary" in a very small way . S h e waa fond o f her books , fond o f s tudy. S h e wrote verses for the county paper, and i t was vaguely h inted that s h e w a s engaged o n someth ing that would some t ime , etc . , e t c Ot coarse her t i m e w a s quite too precious to be watted on house-work.

Laura was a fair, placid, indolent beauty . She did not like to wash dishes, for it spoiled her hands . S h e did no t like to s w e e p , for i t

cranees; n o w a child's face, and t h e n a bird aith folded wing*. There were glimpses of sunse t skies , and o u e stretch of blue nea. with a lone ship failing in the distance.

I said there was a fluttering in the dove­cote . T h e studies that formerly behl Eliza­beth lost their a l tracl ion. and she began to feel an intense interest in all that pr-rtaiRs to art. Raphael , ( l u k l o , Michael Ange lo — these became upon Iter lips as ciunmnii household words. S h e was never t i led of sitt ing, metaphorically speaking , at Win­throp A Wen's feet and being taught of h i m . Art was the one th ing needful , and her very soul did reverence at the shrine of the genius that could make the fleetine, beauty of a <!ay immortal as the start!

Laura played a differ e a t g a m e . S h e was arch and saucy any coquettish. Mm praised his work to-day, and made fun o f it t o m o r ­row. T h e n , when she hail t i iccfvded in an­noying or wounding h i m , her penitence was m o s t bewi tch ing; and with tears iu tier s w e e t blue eyes , aud a (-uiver o f tier chi ld­like lips, site would plead Iter ignorance »inl inexperience, and beg his pardon with dan­gerous humility.

O n e day s h e c a m e running Lu hint with a pretty affectation o f s impl ic i t j .

"Oh, Mr. A l d e n , " she said, c lasping Let hands , "i t you would only teach m e h o w to d r a w ! I have wanted to learn all iny life.

IM liow could I, away up lit-re, where thrre are no teachers—no a n y t h i n g ? Maylte," she went on, naively, dropping Iter ejeiids till the long lashes swept her cheeks , "maj lie I conld appreciate your work better, if I should try m y o w n band a t it, and learn s o m e of its difficulties."

Mr. A l d e n laughed o u t r i g h t I t seemed supremely ridiculous to h i m that h e — W i n ­throp Alden—should b e asked to give lessons t o b is landlady's daughter , and t h e idea o f her being able to fudge o f h is difficulties bv a n y s h e was likely t o e n c o u n t e r ! B u t the very simplicity o f the request w a s s o amus­ing, tha t b e s a i d :

"Very wel l , Miss Laura. I t is a bargain, if, in return, you will be m y guide to all l h a t i s beautiful and pkturesui ic in this wild re­gion."

•*Oh. thank you P slie cried. "1 have been longing t o s h o w y o u some lovely v iews ever s ince you h a v e been here , but feaied you would th ink m e intrusive, tshall w e go u p to Sunset Kock, to-night, Mr. AwVn. I'd lose to go!"

P o o r C i n d y ! For the first t ime in her life s h e env ied El izabeth and Laura. T h i s n e w hero o f theirs w a s n o lass a hero to her. A s tor loving him, ahe would as soon have t h o u g h t o f loving a star, or t h e s u n itself. But this Bran waa the emboditneul of all her dreams . H e did with easy , careless grace— the ease and grace o f a noil, it seemed to h»r — t h e very th ings that s h e longed to do . H e lived her ideal life. I t teas hard t o be in the k i tchen , do ing t h e rough work, while Eliza­beth sa t in t h e cool , shaded parlor, leading Wiuthrop A l d e n o u to talk of his work and its aspirations, o f artist-life aud its romant ic associations—-of all, in short , l h a t was dear­e s t to Cindy's soul . I t w a s hard to be shell­ing peas for dinner , whi le I-auia, in the pret­t iest o f morning dresses , wandered over the hi l ls , or s o u g h t ou t fairy nooks with her— drawing-master.

O n e d a y site w a s wash ing the dinner d i shes , trying vainly t o recall t h e blithe con­tent o f former d a y s , and wonder ing whi ther it had flown, w h e n Mr. A l d e u passed through t h e k i tchen . P a u s i n g for a m o m e n t in the s h a d o w of t h e honeysuck le , w i t h h i s hand upon t h e door-post, h e looked d o w n the fra­grant garden-paths a n d t h e n back into the room from which t h e heat o f various cul in­ary operat ions had not y e t escaped. Cindy's c h e e k s were flushed, her hair lay low upon her forehead in little mois t browu rings, her hands trembled, and s h e looked thoroughly uncomfortable.

**Il is very warm to day . Miss Cinderella,** h e said. Kreu gen ius can uttei c o m m o n ­places.

•"Cinderella!** she cried, open ing her brown e y e s a t h i m , a s s h e nearly droppoil a tumbler. -"What a funny i d e a ! That 's no t m y n a m e , Mr. Alden."

"I t is not ? 1 bej; your pardon. l !ut they call y o u Cinda—Cindy—do they n o t ? 1 supposed i t w a s for Cinderella."

"It is noL I t i s for Lucinda—ju»t plain Lucinda , Mr. Alden ."

"Lucinda—Cinderella*'—he repealed, m u s ­ingly, whi le b is e y e roved round the room, taking quick note of every th ing , from the pots and kett les o n the hearth to the saucer of pansies o n the window sill, and the y o u n g girl's tired face. *'A strange Idumler of m i n e . B u t I really supposed it was Cinder­ella."

l i e hesi tated a m o m e n t , whi le a sudden l ight broke over h i s face, and a smi le played about h is m o u t h .

"Cin-de-rel-la"—h<s said again , l ingering o n t h e word. " W e are not goiu-; to the prince's ball , Miss Cindy , but we <uc g o i n g up Lite hill to the pine woods. T h . n o cool green s i lences will be delightful such a day as this . Won' t you g.> with u s ? "

All, would they hot bo! She loimf<l fur t h e m unutterably. Winthrop Alden did not see the hot tears that sprang to her e y e s , for she turned bt the s ink, and I f u t over her dishpatl , as she answered, o u i c l l y :

' •Thank y o u . But it will not "be conven i ­e n t to-day. S o m e other t ime , perhapt."

W h y should s h e tell biui that there were c lo thes to be folded d o w u , and biscuits to lie baked, and raspberries to be picked for tea , aud divers other th ings to be d o n e ? W h a t could b e understand about i t ? A u d the worst o l i t was, these things had newr seemed so burdensome, so distasteful before-

•Sbe had no t realized, lu-rseir, until thi*. s u m ­mer , b o w different a life was hers from that led by her cous ins .

T h e y o u n g man touched h i s b a l ami walked away . B u t as soon as he was o u t of s ight , Cindy dropped her dish-towel , and flew np-stairs in a sudden passion of tears. Cinderella, indeed! S h e saw it all now. Iter a u n t and the girls were s imply thought ­less , and , m a y b e — s h e did not l i k e . t o s t y it —-selfish. T h a t was all. Itul , a l a s ! there was n o fairy godmother , e i ther !

S h e wiped her e y e s and came ilotvn-st:t>rs again. T h e water was cold and the tire had g o n e o u L S o m u c h for quarreling with fate, s h e thought . I t was better to g o quiet ly on aud no t fall in to spasms. But she had m a d e up her mind during l h a t seemingly wasted hour. S h e would be her o w n g o d m o t h e r !

Cindy took in noth ing at first but a S I ' N T al idea of the p o s e r and pathos ol the pic-lure, hoi i i in^ her breath for very de l ight , while Mr Aid: n a a ' d i e d her eagerly. II.-r ey.; wandered over tut* c a n v a s , ^laspin^ d e ­tail after detail , . .ntii at l ength , a s i l sav ing the best wine fur the last, it settled upon the drooping ligure in tin- corner. For a m o m e n t she ^iized s i l ent ly ; tneii s h e uttered a taint exc lamat ion , » I r ' e the red blood fled from hrr cheeks , aud s h e burst in to tears.

B u t if s h e could ouly share the lessons about which Laura m a d e such an ado—and about w h i c h , i t m u s t be confessed, Cindy felt n o little curiosity.
