Presentlyhe was in his easy chair with Rose upon his knee smiling up in hisface andboyswalking boot talkingas fast as her tongue could go, while he watched her with anexpression of supreme content, as he stroked the smooth round cheek,or held the little hand in his, rejoicing to see how rosy was theone, how plump and strong the other.

SoRose told about her school in her pretty, earnest way, dwelling onPhebe's hunger for knowledge, and the delight it was to help her,adding, with a wise nod "And it helps me too, uncle, for she isso quick and eager I have to do my best or she will get ahead of mein somecheapboot shoes things.To-day, now, she had the word 'cotton' in a lesson and asked allabout it, and I was ashamed to find I really knew so little that Icould only say that it was a plant that grew down South in a kind ofa pod, and was made into cloth.

"No,sir, it's teaching; and please, I like it much better thanhavingwintershoes boots a good time by myself. Besides, you know, I adopted Phebe andpromised to be a sister to her, so I am bound to keep my word, am Inot?" answered Rose, looking both anxious and resolute as shewaited for her sentence.
Dr.Alec was evidently already won, for Rose had described the old slateand brownshoesboot salepaper copy-book with pathetic effect, and the excellent man had notonly decided to send Phebe to school long before the story was done,but reproached himself for forgetting his duty to one little girl inhis love for another. So when Rose tried to look meek and failedutterly, he laughed and pinched her cheek, and answered in thatgenial wayredwing 877 bootwhich adds such warmth and grace to any favour "I haven't theslightest objection in the world.

Phebe is a brave, bright lass, and shall have a fairchance in the world, if we can give it to her, so that if she everfinds her friends they need not be ashamed of her."
"Ithink she has found some already," began Rose eagerly.
"Hey?what? hasclearancebootanyone turned up since I've been gone?" asked Dr. Alec quickly,for it was a firm belief in the family that Phebe would prove to be"somebody" sooner or later.
