It w happened that Demon Bancroft was
one of the directors m • saving's itnttttetlsa,
situated in the ueat twin, and a000rddngly
used to ride over there ursce or twice •
month, to attend meetings of the board.
On the neat mcwicm of this lucid, the
Widow Wali sent ever to know if he could
tarry her over with him, as she had a little
buatnws to attend to there.
The request was readily accorded Arriv
ed in the village Mrs` Wells requested to
be set down at the lank.
'• Ha ' ha! " thought the deacon ; •' that
means something."
He said nothing, however, but deLermiuel
to Dome back, and Lind out, as he could
readily from the cashier, whet business she
had with the bank.
The widow tripped into the ottice, pre-
tending to look very .onchalaat,

pries ; "or rather we do not allow interest

our limit. Dict you know of any one

It is of no consequence." said the widow,
hurriedly ; " 1 only asked for curosity. Hv
the way, did you say how much interest you
allowed on such deposits as tame within
your limit'"
" Five per cent., madam."
"Thank you ; 1 only asked for curiosity.
What a beautiful morning it, is '
And the widow tripped lightly out, Short-
ly afterwards the deacon entered.
" How's business, Mr. Cashier!" he in -
q uired.
" About as usual."

NE E:Vio. AFTER A DAY
of twigging labor, the Widow tl'elk
sat at there in the sitting -room,
with her feet resting upon the fender.
"11 I ever ant so situated as not to have
to work so hard," the murmured, " 1 shall
be happy. It's a hard life, keeping boarders.
If I was only as web off as Deacon Ban-
croft
Still the widow kept up her thinking, and
by-and-by her fax brightened up. She had
an idea, which she resolved to put into
execution et the very earliest practieahle
moment. What, it was the reader will dice
cover in the sequel.
" Henry," card else to herson the text
morning, " 1 want you to stop at Deacon
Bancroft's, as you go along to school, and
we if he will call and see sec in the course
of the rnoming or afternoon, just as he finds
it most c nveutent."
Dr:c,orl ilawroft was a little surprised at
the summons. However,ahouteleven o'clock,
he called ,n. The widow had got on the
si nuer and haat leisure to sit down. She
appeared a little emb•rreesed.
" Henry told me that you would like to
ser me," he commenced.
•' 1.es, Deacon liaperoft, 1 do, but I'm
very much afraid you will think strange o*4
it --at least of what 1 have to say to you."
The deacon very politely promised not et
be surprised, though at the same time his
curiosity was visibly excited.
"Suppose," said the widow, casting down
her eyes- "mind, I am supposing • ease --
suppose • peraw should find a pot of gold
pieces in their cellar, would the law have a
right to touch it, or would it belong to
them
The deacon pricked up his ears.
' A pot of Kull pieces, widow : Why,
unquestionably, the law would have nothing
to do with It."
" And the one olio had formerly owned
the house couldn't come forward and claim
it, could he, deacon'" inquired the widow
further, with apparent anxiety.
" No, madam, ungueetiona *4y not When
the house was disposed of, everything went
with it, as a matter of oourss.
" I am glad to hear it, deacon. You
won't think strange of the question ; but it
happeued to occur to my mind, and 1 thought
that I would like to have it satisfied."
" l'ertainly, widow, certainly," maid the
deacon, abstractedly.
And, deacon, ae you are here, 1 hope
you'll sop to dinner with us It will be
ready punctually at twelve."
"Well, no," said the deacon, mitts; "I'm
obleeged to ye, but they'll be expecting me
hone.
" At any rate, deacon," sad the widow,
taking a steaming mince -pie from the oven,
" You won't object to taking a piece of
mttos-pie. You most know 1 rather pride
myself on my mince -pies."
The warm pie sent forth such • delicious
odor, that the deacon was sorely. tempted,
and af•er saying " Well, really,' with the
intention of refusing, he finished by saying,
" Iln the whole, i gums 1 will, as it looks
an nice."
The widow was realty a growl rook, and
the deacon ate with much gusto the gener-
ous slice which the widow cut for him, and
after a little more chatting upon mnimpnr
tart esbjeotm, withdrew in some mental per
pl.xit .

"• 1)o you know," asked the cashier,
" whet ner she nee had any money left her

" None that 1 know of," said the deaco.,
pricking up his eery. Why'. Did she
deposit any'
No ; but she inquired whether we re-
ceived deposits as high as five thousand
dollars."
" Indeed'" ejaculated the deacon. "Was

ent afterwards.
"No, she ex.besped a gold piece for small
bills.-
" Ha!" posilissi she d.a000, reflectively.
'• Did she give sep ream hr her in-
quiries '" ---
" No ; she said the only asked for cnri-
nity.
The deacon left the bank in deep thought.
He came to the c,nclusioo that this "curi-
osity" only veiled a deeper motive. He no
longer entertained a doubt that the widow
h.I actually found a pot of gold in her
cellar, and appearances seemed to imitate
that its proba elle value was at least equal to
tive thouasnd dollars. The gold piece which
she hal exchanged at the bank appeared to
centinn this story.
"• I rather think," said the deacon, com-
placently, " I can see into a mdI.tone as far
ae most people "--a statement flee literal
truth of which I defy any one to yrs +tion,
though u to the prime fact of people's being
able to sec into a millstone at all, doubts
have waw and then intruded themselves up-
on my mind.
Next Sunday the Widow Wells appeared
at church in a new stylish 600040, which led
to some remarks such an these—
" How much vanity Inane people have, to
be wine
" ilow a woman that has to keep boarder
for . living can afford to dash out with such
a bonnet is more than 1 can tell. I should
think that she was old enough to know
better."
The last remark was mule by a young
lady just six months younger than the
widow, whose attemput to catch a husband
hal hitherto preyed utterly unavailing.
" I sippose," oontinued the same young
lady, " she is trying to catch a second hus-
band with her finery. iBefore 1 could coin
descend to such means I'd - I'd drown my•
self.'.
In the last amiable speech the young lady
had unwittingly hit upon the true motive.
Thew Wow was Intent upon catching I deacon
Bancroft, and she indulged in a costly ton -
net, not because she supposed he wculd be
caught with finery, but because this would
strengthen in hie mind the idea that she hal
stumbled rpm hidden wealth.
The widow calculated shrewdly ; and the
display had the desired effect she antici-
pated.
Monday afternoon Deacon Bancroft fonnd
an errand that called him over to the widow's.
It chancel to be about tea time. He was
importuned to stay at tea, and, somewhat
to his own surprise, actually did.
The politic widow, who knew'the deacon's
weak point, brought on dee of her hest mince -
pies. a dice of which her guest partook of
with lest.
" You'II take another piece, 1 know," said
she, persuasively.
"Really. I am ashamed," said the deacon,
but he pease.' his plate. " The fact is," he
said apologetically, "your pies are Gooier i
don't know where to stop.-
" Do ypoi call thaw nice said the wid-
ow, modestly. " 1 call them oommon. 1 can
make mince piss when 1 set out to, but
this time 1 didn't have such good luck as
usual.-
" i shouldn't want any better,- said the
deacon. emphatically.
"Then 1 hope i1 you like them, you'll
drop in to sae often. We ought to 6e more

Deacon Bancroft aseentevd, and he meant
what he said. The fact is, the desaron began
to think that the widow was a very charm-
ing woman. She was very oomely. and then
she was such an excellent conk ' Resides
