"WELL, Juliet, what are you cal- culating to do 1" said Mrs. Murdright. " It's time to make up your mind about something, you know," briskly observed Miss Juniata Jessup. Joliet May lifted lier heavy head, and looked at them with vague sur- prise. " Do ?" she repeated. " what's there to do 1 I don't know what you all mean." She was a dark, large -eyed girl with cheeks as pale as a calla loaf,a Spanish luxuriance of jet b ack hair, and a Might figui whioh seemed to be bound by nae weight of her deep mourning. Mrs. Murdright was a tail, u att:aline woman, with iron -gray hair and square chin. Miss Jessup wore spectacles, and moved around to an active, ier•ky way, like an extra - large -sized canary bird " It's a week tomorrow since your pa was buried," addtd Mrs. Mur - Juliet winced. " Yet," she said, " I know it. 06, papa ! P•P• !„ There, the o" said Mias deposit ain't both, let him put in an appear- s& ppearu the young orphan hid her face in encs and say what he has done with her Bands, " don't give way. It's un - never would have eluded so unguard- edly to the age and experieuce of the sprightly spinster. Mise Jessup bridled. " I really do not know that I have anythiug to say," said she. " As Mrs. Murdright remark,, people mut rig,;,,, pect to work in this world.' But Miss Jessup studiously banished from her recollection the fact that, when she had tint set up dressmaking for herself, Squire May tied generous- ly lent her money for her lease, furni- tur., stock and fixtures. Hehad never claimed a cent -of interest ; he had never so much as hinted at the pay- ooasuA of his loan, and she had_ tat en equally silent. And it is to be pre- sumed that she had quite forgotten the who's circumstance, when she added, with some little vindictiveness : "And, to my mind, It would have been a deal wiser if your papa had looked a little more closely to his money, inettal of lending it to neer- do wets like Chauncy Graham to -squander." •-'ielgestsin Chauncey' was al wayptgood And kind !" cried Juliet coloring up. " He would have paid papa if ho could. And it is mean end dishonorable of you to sat such things as these, Juni ata Jessup "' - " Hoity-toity !" cried Miss Jessup. " Mean ! Dishonorable' Well, if he christlan, and it's uncomfortable, t And it's high time," steadily ob- served Mrs. Murdright, " that you look matters in the face, Juliet May, You've got your living to earn, sad—" "lit I thought I wee to live with you," said poor Juliet, who was as ig- norant in the ways of the world as a six-month old infant. " You are my mother's atster, Aunt Murdright, " That is hardly a reason why I shgtld undertake to support eyery relative I have got in the world," raid Mrs. Murdright sourly. " You aren't a child, Juliet. You were eighteen last mSith, and there's many a girl of your age earns her own living and lay, by a handsome sum besides. And k's doe an the first ot June, arid I need every room I have to let to summer - boarders." it And 4keee-4 ereeossea,� mented Miss Juniata, skillfully seizing tbe opportunity to strike it when Mrs. Murdright paused for lack of breath, " why you bbould sit with folded hands while your tomtit Artemisia works in tbe skirtactory and Louisa Lucy goes out to tailoring." Juliet sat looking from one to the other while her heart seemed to stand still within her. At the Grange she had always lived in luxury. She had been the darling arid idolized child of a doting father. She bad never paused to consider the question of mere money. that money." As Mr. Graham was at that. mo- ment supposed to be in Australia, en- gaged to the management of a mam- moth sheep farm, this was perhaps an unreasonable demand. But, to Miss Jessup's infinite ainazeuient, and, per- haps to her discomfiture as well, the front door was pushed open at that juncture, and a bronzed, bearded ap parition, in a suit of some foreign style and cut, stalked in. "Is this Mrs. Moses Mardright's house 1'• said he. " Can any one tell ma if Miss Juliet May is here?' Mrs. Murdrlght started. Mus des - sap seemed equally amazed ; but, with a dry, Juliet May sprang to her feet. - " Chaunoy !" she cried. "-It is my cousin Chauncey !" • 1 am Chauncey Graham," said the young man. " I only arriv,d in the port of New York last evening It all seems so strange to me to herr my cousin, qu re ' a , —that Joliet is without a home !" He stood in surprise, scarcely able to recognize in this tall, Andalusiin- faced girl, the chubby -faced' little playfellow of former years. But when she flung herself so confidingly into his arms, he held her with a tender and chivalric embrace. 'bit, Chauncey, I am so glad that you have come," she sobbed. "Oh, I was so lonely and forsaken. No one has seemed to care for me, lino* paps died — no one offered me a • crape -veiled hat and ink -black draperies folded seroos her slender shoulders. "You're not going away so soon, Juliet, my darling ?" "Chauncey e.g.-that his mother expecte us by the Vary fleet brain." said Jtsiiet, upon whoast pale cheek a new color had kindled. "And we have no. time to loge." "And," simpered Miss Jessup, who was hurriedly donning an ex- tremely youthful Gainsborough hat with rosebuds and daisies wreath- ed around its brim. "I have vol- unteered to secnmpany dear Juliet. Really, I have grown too fond of her to allow her to ali,p away from uio like thin" Mr. Murdright made a grimace. "The scheming old cat," she thought. "She actually thinks she is going to lure Chauncey Graham into marriage. "Well. I never did see such idiotic folly." But she said nothing of this as she kissed Juliet good-bye with as effusiveness which surprised the young girl. "Farewell, nay darling," she said, almost tragically. "And remember that if ever you need a home, my heart and' hearth are equally open to t ou." "Why didn't she say so before r Juliet asked herself, vaguely amazed at what seemed to her Such a surprising inconsistency. "Why did she talk ad disagreeably about my being a burden, and earning my own living ? And why is Juniata Jessup coming back with us, without ever being invited i Poor little Juliet ! She had yet much to learn of the Ins and outs of this world; Miss Jessup's stay in New York, however, was not prolonged, She came back the Bail:,, day, very ill satisfied with her visit. "Things are quite Changed since I was a girl," said. she. "There's Juliet engaged to Chauncey Gra- ham alretldy—or as good as engag- ed—a mere chit like that, with—iso knowledge nor experience of so- ciety. And Mrs Graham taking on airs like the Queen, and telling me, up and down, that she didn't care for my company. Me. Her own cousin twice removed. Ansi Juliet parting from me like a clam, neser even -kissing me nor telling me she hoped to see me again." "Hun1ph !" said Mrs. Murdright. "That's generally the way rich peo- ple behave. But I almost wish, Juniata, we hadn't been gtite so ort with the child." "Yes," said Miss Juniata; "but who was to supposee that dile was -to be an heiress after al; ?" All good and lovely slings seemed tom hor^e • "I will," said Chauncey, qutetly assemble around her by magic. Every- one bad spoken tenderly to her; ani isow—and now— " Wbat am I to do, Aunt Mur- dright r she faltered. " Is all my money spent r " Tour motet' !" hysterically echoed Miss Jessup. " Poor child ! You hain't got none. It's all gone in rash specu- lations and mad inventions." "Juniata speaks only the truth," .Aid Mrs. Murdright, stiffly, as Juliets eyes soight hers, as if to ask corrobor- ation of bite little old maid's unfeeling words, " You're as good as a beggar, sod Am must begin to oonsider in ebriets' earnest what you are to do for your bread.

It is all smooth sailing now. The mosey which your father lent me has born fruit, seventy times seven, and it ii yours now.' Mrs. Murdright here recovered her- self so far as to extend a flab -like hand to Mr Graham; Mia Jessup pressed easterly forward. "My dear Joliet," she said with a little acidity, you are steel a mere beby. Don't you see that Tour cousin isn't at alt the proper person to take charge of you r' "Why not 1" said Chauncey Gra- ham. " It seems to me that I am the very one. And my mother is in New York waiting to extend a moth- er's tender Dare to Juliet." "At all eveeti, my dear," said Miss Jessup, "don't cling to your cousin as if he were a floating ,Dar and you a drowning mariner ! Do sit down !
