CHAPTER XVII.
JEALOUSY.
The day following Mr.Stuart's visit was Saturday, and as there was no school, Mary decided to call upon her sister, whom she had not seen for some months.

Mrs.Mason, who had some shopping to do in the village, offered to accompany her, and about two in the afternoon, they set forward in Mr.Knight's covered buggy.

The roads were smooth and dry, and in a short time they reached the bridge near the depot.

A train of cars bound for Boston was just going out, and from one of the windows Mr.Stuart was looking, and waving his hand towards Mary, who bowed in token of recognition.
The sight and sound of the cars made "old Charlotte," whom Mrs.Mason was driving, prick up her ears, and feet too, and in a few moments she carried her load to the village.

Leaving Mrs.Mason at the store, Mary proceeded at once to Mrs.Campbell's.
