CONDUCTED BY MIS.'. RAY CLARK_ 
A TRUE LADY. 
EMMA C. STOUT. 
“Grandma,” said Rose Beverly eagerly 
“who is Margaret Moore J” 
“Margaret Moore?” echoed the dear old lady 
thoughtfully as she slowly measured the length 
of Jamie’s little sock. “why. it must be Mr. 
Moore’s sister—an unmarried lady about my 
own age. 1 suppose she has come to cheer his 
wife during her convalescence from this slow 
fever. I must go aud see her. We used to 
be schoolmates, yes, classmates. I can shut 
my eyes and see the low log cahiu where we 
sat side by side at the same high writing desk 
and spelled together from the same blue-backed 
spelling book, we read, too, from the same 
Testament, for books were scarce in those 
days, I don’t suppose she will know me at 
all. Does she look very old?” 
“Look old! oh, grandma,” laughed Rose, 
“why, she is younger than myself, 1 should 
judge—the prettiest, daintiest lady that l ever 
saw." 
“Well, well. I shall have to think awhile. 
Let me see.” meditated grandma. “Ah! now 
1 have it—she is Mr. Moore’s own daughter, 
Margaret. It is not strange that I bad for¬ 
gotten her the years fly so fast. There is a 
story about her that will interest you 1 tbiuk. 
Nineteen years ago-” 
“Please grandma, let me get my mending 
basket—you kuow it is the afternoon of iron¬ 
ing day. Now I am ready to listen,” said Rose 
seating herself in a low chair by the open 
window, 
“Well, suppose you describe the subject for 
me before I begin, perhaps it will help to make 
my story beautiful,” said grandma. 
"Margaret Moore—I’m in love with the 
very name,’’ began Rose, “Margaret Moore is 
rather low aud very slender. She has deep 
blue eyes, golden brown hair, a rose bud of a 
mouth, round, fair fiice pink cheeks and white, 
shapely hands. She bears her bead with a 
i|ueeuly poise, and every motion is so fuli of 
dignity and grace that she seems 10 belong to 
a different world frutn ours. 1 am ufruid 
that I Lehaved rudely, but she has surely long 
ago become accustomed to having strangers 
glance ut her the second tune. But 1 can not 
picture her for you; grandma, as well try to 
paiut the sunbeam or the changing clouds of a 
glorious sunset—there 19 such a varied, ani¬ 
mated expression of her face that it must be 
seen to bn appreciated.” 
‘‘You have giveti me enough to know that 
she is the image of her lovely mother. I am 
glad you are so favorably impressed with her, 
for I shall want you to be friends. Niuetecn 
years ago Ruth Moore died, leaving a little 
one-year-old daughter. Mr. Moore was theu 
in debt for his large farm, and he said that he 
could uot afford to hire n nurse and house¬ 
keeper too, so be would give the baby to his 
sister Kate. You were then two years old, 
and as I had kept little Murgy beroduriug her 
mother’s illness, you Imd learned to love her. 
I 1 remember how you clasped your baby arms 
around the white robed darling as you said 
‘Bye, bye, baby.’” You kissed her ugaiu and
