the ungraceful negligee, a loose (moque ove
a full petticoat. A mase of waving red
brown hair was drawn back from the ova

freckled. Ber greatest beauty was her
eyes, large and of a changing gray, fringed
with blaok lashes. The red lips were senei-

dimples and white teeth belied her grave
and dreamy eyes.
" Do I look like dying yet ? " ehe Asked.
" Meroy 1 child, looko don't count. I'll

Mies Babb's plain face, patient and
marked by those lines whioh sickness and
sorrow stamp upon the countenances of
many middle-aged women,' labored under
some unwonted excitement ; so Betty Ifs
frained from questions, knowing that the
secret would give additional pleaeure to
her aunt by being thus ouppressed.
The room was cheerful, with a blazing
fire of logs in the wide fireplaoe. A
branohed candlestick shone on the polished
surface of the long mahogany table, which
was set for supper, and bright with ohina
and silver.
A seoretary with braes ;handles, a sofa,
and a few straight -banked chairs covered
with hair -cloth, stood against the wall,
panelled with cedar half -way to the ceiling.

suming the darning of a fine white (cooking
belonging *ober sister, Mise Clementina,who
was much too absorbed in the charge of the
plantation and slaves- to attend to more
homely and feminine pursuits. Betty
leaned against the mantel, sharing the rug
with Cassius, ' who sat on his haunches
blinking at the fire.
" Little Johnny Atkins walked half -way
home with me, and was sorry that I was
not his school-teaoher. I wish you could
have heard him talk, for he is' the drollest
creature. He said, ''O'b, we had a splendid

all the other children.' Mr. Tilghman's
donkey brayed ae he started to leave me,
and it frightened him so I had to go pert o!

Betty's manner, daring this recital, was
fall of quiet humor, oharaotterizing the
drawling lisp of the village innocent, and
at its close she threw back her head and
laughed at the recollection of the doughty
yogngeter's error ; but Mies Bab's interest
wee not up to the usual, mark. She'drew
the needle with an impatient movement
out of the etooking, nervously nodding her
head, with its cushion of sandy hair sur-
mounted by a mob -cap.
" Something has happened," she said, in
a mysterious whisper. " Guess what it is."

Many parte of the low, flat oonntry lie •
notified in the present labor difficulties for
lank of farm hands, the negroee, as in many
parte of the South, having flocked' to the
neighboring cities. Numbers of the pro-
prietors; the old families, have left their
impoverished plantations to be cultivated
on, shares by tenants of the overseer or

Stately homeeteade, dating from colonial
tinea, are found here and there, deserted
and dismantled, sad reminders of day° of
past prosperity, when these isolated and
now obemire oountiee were noted for an
elegant and hospitable eooiety.
In Queen Anne County, at the month of
the Chester River, stands an old, square
briok home. high above the shelving shore,
down to whioh slopes what was once a ter-
raced garden. From here, looking west-
ward, past two oapea of meadow -land, jut-
ting on either 'side where the welt water'
tide curls over the placid °hallows, the vomer
stretches out and meets the blank herr" n,
relieved sometimes by a far-off sail o ts
faint cloud of smoke from a pasei
steamer. Deserted by its present owner ,
untenanted, • its bricks discolored with
time, the honee overlooks the monotonous
fields, to whioh it has become merely a
useless appendage.
'In the large oaks before the eastern
front, crows have nested, rising in flocks
above the gable roof, mingling their harsh
caws'withthe scream of an errant sea:gull.,
The 'woodwork of the porob has rotted into
gaps, where toads and ensile abide. ; the
shutters have fallen, and blank windows
yawn like eyeless sockets.
The upper terrane is stiff with un-
trimmed and straggling box -bushes bor-
dering the walks, grown up with weeds,
and blurred into an indietinguiehable mass
of deoay. Above the tops of the other trees,
a tall Lombardy poplar reaches its dead
branches upward, standing sentinel
thro h all the changing eeasone. Spring
G' rains eat upon the yellow weed -stalks,
Bummer suns urns the roses that bloom
unseen in the rank greenness, and ripen
the apples in the orchard, and in winter
'the winde wail around the dead home.
To the left, shut in by a crumbling brick
wall • overgrown with the periwinkle,
is the family burying . ground,
in whioh no one now is inter-

once a year to visit the grave o! a aby

The graves are hidden by a network of
vines ; but in one corner, side by side, are
portions of two marble slabs, each broken,
and connected by'a cross -piece, running
from one to the other. On this ores -piece,
with some difficulty, the following' inscrip-

PrettypDhotographe of pleasure, ragged etchings

This is sweet as budding roses.
That a withered hope disoloees,
Who can guess why some are sunny while the

Who can tell if an expression
Sad and deep is a oonteseion

CHAPTER I.
Late one evening in the early part of
November, 1774, the road between the
corner ot the Vanghtin meadow and the
lights of he little village of Kingston
stretobed oat bare and lonely amid the
dusky "setting of the fields, before the swift
steps of a girl hurrying through the cool
twilight, and facing the west. The curtain
of gray clouds, torn just above the horizon,
showed the crimson afterglow of sunset,
against •whioh stood in silhouette the root
and chimney(' of a large mansion.
A chill wind blew from the marshes,
flapping her mantle about her and tangling
her hair aorods her .faoe.e To Elizabeth
Vaughan, walking rapidly toward the
lonely home, it seemed eome old, haunted
eagle, of romance, to whioh her dog, an
evil, dark familiar, disappearing now and
then in the !melees, was luring her.
Entering the gate, the night deepened
ander two rows of mulberry trees arching
above the carriage -way. 'At home here,
she 'relaxed her pane with • a feeling of
security.
Dry leaves rustled ander foot. Above,'
the blear sky shone through .a lattice -work
of naked branohee, 'to whioh a few sear
leaves ehiveringly clang Before her was
the front of a square brink house, from
whioh a glow of warmth was diffuesed
through, red curtains in two windows on the
ground floor. Here she paused and drew a
long breath, with faoe uplifted to the Mare,
drinking in the peaoefpl darkness and
silence, unbroken save by the irregular
tinkle of a cow -bels and the twitter of birds
in the ivy covering the front of the house.
The garden gate ciliated' behind her, and a
flgnre Dame slowly morose the lawn toward
the right, where the barn and negro quarters
wore massed in shadow. Soddenly the
figure. paused. and oho heard a low, agitated
whisper : " Who's dat ? "
"'Well, Uncle Mose, is that you ? "
•"'Oh, Mies Betty, yor gimme a big scare.

Home -Returning Chinamen.,
Forward, between decks, are more than
a hundred Chinese steerage pasaen ere,-
-mostly reposing in their rade wooden
bunks, mace it is too cold and rough upon
deck for them. Some chat, some sleep,
many smoking opium ;—a few are gamb-
ling. At a low table' covered with a bam-
boo mat, the gime of fan -tan is being
played by the light of three candles. A
silent ring of watchers and wagerers
presses closely about the table ;—from ear -
rounding bunks, others look down ; and the
yellow candle glare, coloring all these im-
e olive faces, makes their placid race -smile
Beam as the smiling -of gilded idols in some
myeteriona pagoda.
Deep in the hold below, sixty square
boxes are,—much, resembling tea oheste,—
covered with Chines lettering. Each
contains the bones of a dead mart—
bones being sent bank to- melt into that
Clhineee soil from whenoe, by nature's
vital chemistry, they were shapen. And
those whose Moiled bones are rolling to
and fro in the dark below, as the plunging
steamer rooks and shudders, once also
passed this ocean on just such a ship—and
smoked or dreamed their time away in just
Duch berths= -and played the same strange
play by each a yellow light in even just snob
an atmosphere, heavy with vaporized
opium.
Very silent the playing is. Seemly a
word is uttered despite of losses or gains.
From the deck overhead, an odd chant
echoes loudly down—the chant' of the
Chinese crew. First one utters a snarling
sharp cry, like a cat's ory of anger—Vow•
yee 1 Then all the others shrill together
Yo wo 1—as they pull at the ropes.
" Joss paper" has been strewn ahont--•
doubtless to propitiate the gods of that

hearken to the prayers of their patient
worshippers, and make smooth the menac-

An Awkward Change ot Vowe's.
The change of one little letter of the
alphabet in even a short word has paused
many a Indiorons and awkward mistake.
Here is 'a case in point in the shape of a
story about a onrate, a rooter, and a tele-
graphic clerk. The curate had oomo up to
town on a short holiday from a country
pariah, when, on the last day of his leave
of absence, he was invited by a clerical
friend to accompany him to the Church
C,oned%ae, whioh was to open on the next
d'ey. He telegraphed to hie rector : " I'
should like to attend the Congress if you
Den spare me a few days longer. Kindly
wire whether yon wiab me to return to
tittle Peplington to morrow, or to go on
to Hull." The rector, who is a man of few
words, promptly wired in reply, " Go to
Hall." But, whether through the careless•
noes or the profanity'of the telegraphist,
the " n" was transformed to " e " in the
message.

Social Laws for Girls. •
Yon think the !awe of society are severe.,
You do not believe that convention 1' y is le
great sword held up, not to atrikeu, but
to protect you, and you ehrag ye pretty
shoulders and say, " I know I was doing
nothing wrong, and I don't care 'what
people say." Now, my dear, yon must oars
what people say ; the world is a great judg-
ment court,and usually the innocent and
the ignorant are protected by it, though
000aeionally, someone falling into the mire
of scandal and gossip, is brought into the
court all bedraggled and disfigured, and the
judge, not being able to see the virtue that
le underneath, decides against the viotim,
and all because she did not care what the
world said. I wish yon would think even of
the most innocent things.
Sometimes I fear you think, I am a little
bit severe, but I have known so many girls
who were so thoughtless, yet so good, nd
who only found protection in the ns of
conventionality. It may hang ove ' your
head, as did that of Damocles, but it is ass
warning. It will protect yon from evil -
speaking, from the making of injudicious
Mends, and it will insure you muoh more
pleasure than if all the world ran helter-
skelter and became like a wild Irish fair
day.
onventionality proteots yon, as does the
beet mother, frowning at and forbidding
not only that whioh is, but also that whioh
looke, wrong. --Ruth Ashmore, in Ladies'
Home Journal.
