QUEENIE'e§ WHINE.
- CHAPTER W. (Contiatied.)
"Married: 1 very much so, poor fal-
low, and I don't think he quite likes it.
She does noteeiactly henpeck him'but
she is a fine Iady and worries him into do-
ing things he does notlike such astakIng
her to Paris •and giving''her expensive
dresses. I am afraid she spends a great
deal too much money, and that troubles
Harry."
He should keep her in order then."
"-I think he tries ;2 but Gertrude has
a will of her own. She frets, if he re-
fuses to humor her, and as she is very
delicate, .and the doctors look very
gravely at her sometimes, he is afraid
not to give her her way. He sometimes
talks to Langley, and she always takes
Gertrude's part; why I don't know, for
no one else likes her."
"!w nice to know people, and to get
interested in their lives !" sighed the
poor recluse. " You have made 2 me
quite long to know all the people in your
neighborhood, especially Mr. Logan and
his sister."
" Dear Miss Cosie, hew she will
you and you will be great friends w
Mriogan. Do you know," in a puzz
voice, "I don't seem to get on with A
Logan as wen as I did ; he gave me 1
tures last holiday -s, and I became a lit
shy of him."
"And yet you are not one to mi
any amount Of scolding."
" Of course not, when I don't c
about the people who give the scoldin
but that is just it. Mr: Logan looks
one so benevolently, and yet his ea
seem to read yam through and throug
and then he goes on in that mild voice
his„ tili Miss Catherine, as he calls h.
either makes a fool of herself or runs o
of the mom."
But he has no right to leaure yo
indignautly.
Ah, has he not ?" sighed Cathy, a
the dark, brilliaat eyes looked very se
ous for a moment. "He says we girls
the present day have such a low sten
and of right that we never 2 rise abo
medium goodness, and. are too easi
satisfied with ourselves. He is always '
saying we have no great saints nowadays,
and that there canbe no St. Augustine's.'

" Yes, it is wrong of me, but

d- man rubbed his hands ruefully to-

It was a wild night, eertainly. A

arlisle ; the flickering laniplight sh ne
glittering pools and dripping wa er
outs; the few pedestrlians hurried p st
ale-b'a window, casting furtive glan es

These tiles were Emmie's delight. S re

dying agonies portrayed amid the sta e

her the ludicrous was merged

, that- the one trends ne often on tl

The candlesticks 031 the little rou
table were still milighted, but there w
plenty of light to -shay signs of unwont
preparations. Caleb had robbed ti
plot of ground he called his garden rut
lessly before he filled the large, wide-
meuthed jug with violet 'and white chi a
asters. The display of Isreserves in 11
colors, too,not to mention an astoundi
phim-cake with frosted 1 egges, show d
some unusual festivity.
Cathy, how could you ?"
" My dear, it was the last outburst. tur
Before an hour was over I was fairly chi
crushed, and took a private vow never sea.
to utter anything but the purest Eng-
- liar ver afterward. It was very hard •
Th,
at rst, and I had to inflict dreadful exc
pireShes on myself, and put endless pen ene
nies in the poor's box, before I could re- in
member ; but I am cured now."
"Yes, and it is such an improve-
ment; I feel very much obliged to Mr.
Logan."
"1 'took my revenge, though," re-
turned Cathy,lookine a little guilty; "1
went away without °bidding him good-
bye."
"That was hardly kind,"
"So he said. I was very remorseful,
and wrote him a penitent little note a
week afterwards. The letter I got in
return made IlId feel very- small."
" I dare say he forgave yon."
.
"Dear ohl Saint Christopher,- I know
he did ; but he Was terribly hurt; Lang-
ley tald me so. I often think we are
old men of the Tumult-4in ' tof aur -
selves. How one longs sometimes
to throw off one's self and one's faults I"
You have less than anyone I know,"
returned Queenie, who had a. warm at-
miratioa for the daring and generous -
hearted girl.
"You are wrong," returned Cathy,
humbly ; " Mr. Logan knows me best.
I do want to be true, as true as I' know
how to be. I think I hate conventional
shams as much as he does ; it is this
want of truth itt the world that appalls
one."
-" And the lack of kindness," put ha
Queenie, who had seen the darker side
of human nature.
"No, indeed; there is plenty of kind-
ness in the world. You have grown
misanthropic with hard usage; you will
change your mind when you come among
us.''
"Yes, you must make allowance for
me," she said somewhat sadly ; I have
been too much in contact with coarse,
selfish minds to judge leniently. Cathy,
how can women be so censorious to their
own sex? how can they oppress and
grieve a little child in the way Miss
Titheridge and Fre:akin oppress Ein-
inie?"
"It Is too bad, but I think Miss
Titheridge is obtuse; she does not un-
derstand Emmie."
" Do you not thiuk she is changed?"
whispered:Queenie, with a glance at the
sleeping child. She has grown thinner
and paler, and her eyes are se hollow.
Caleb noticed it last week."
"She is growing, and needs care,"
was the compassionate answer as Cathy
rose and folded the shawl ploser around
the sleeper.
n 'that is just what she does not
get. 01, Cathy, I think peer mamma
would have broken her heart had she
knewn what was in store for us; she was
so fond of Minnie."
Hush, dear," for-Queenie had cover-
