THE HURON ExPosiToR;
A DOMESTIC EXPERIMENT,
BY HELEN FORREST GRAVES.
"I don't think," said Mr. White,
"that the hay -crop ever promiaed so
finely."
"Indeed. !" said his wife absently.
"And if there isn't any fall in the price
of fruit," he added, "our peach -orchard
is going to net us a cool hundred dol-
lars."
As he spoke he flung the homespun
towel; with which hb had been wiping
his hands, over the back of the kitchen
chair.
"Oh, George, do hang'up the towel r
said Mrs. White. "The nail is just as
near as the chair -back, and I have
enough ateps to take in the course of the -
day without waiting upon you."
"You are always grumbling about
soinething," said the young farmer as be
jerked the towel on to its nail. "There !
Does that suit you?"
"Here is a letter from Cousin Dora,
George," said Mrs. White wisely avoid-
ing the mooted question. "She wants
to come here and board for a few
weeks."
"Well, let her come r said White.
"It won't cost us a great deal, and a
little extra money always counts up at
the year's end."
"But, George, I was thinking
"About what?"
"Why, I am so hurried with th
and there is so much to do—."
"That is the perpetual burden of your
song," said Mr. White, irritably.
"Women do beat all for complaining !"
"Won't you hear me cut?" said Mrs.
White. "So I thought it would be a
good plan to give Dora her board if she
would help me with the housework a
little. It will accommodate her, and it
will accommodate me."
"But it won't accommodate me," said
George White, cavalierly. "Really,
Lett -ye you are getting absolutely lazy."
Mrs. White crimsoned.
"No one ever said that to me before,"
said she.
"But just look at it," said the farrner.
"Tell me of any other woman in the
neighborhood who keeps a girl! Why,
they make a boast of doing their own
work."
"They all have sisters, or mothers, or
grown daughters; I have none."
"Pshaw ! " said White. "Ridiculous!
Of course you have to work. We all do,
don't we? Bat your work don't amount
to a row of pins. I don't know of any
ono who has it easier than you do."
"That is all that you know about it !"
said Letty, in a choked -voice.
"Write to Dora that. we'll board her
for five dollars a week," said White,
authoritatively. "We must earn all the
money we can while there is a chance.
Make hay while the sun shines, eh? And
I guess you'll manage to get /Jon as well
as other women do, Letty. /Ow runup
stairs into the garret, my dear, and get
me my blue jean overalls, there's a good
girl."
Letty obeyed,but the tears were in her
eyes, and a big, round ball was rising up
in her throat, and she could hardly 'see
the jean overalls, as they hung up high
on one of the beams.
As she reached up a loose board in the
garret floor tipped, her foot slipped
through on the laths and plaster below,
ancl, with a groan, she sank to the
floor.
The time passed on, and George White
grew tired of waiting.
He shouted up the garret stairway:
"Look alive there, Letty 1 Do you
mean to be all day ?"
Bat no answer came. He ran up stairs,
to find Letty lying senseless on the floor
With one leg broken just above the
ankle.
• "Now, you'll have to get some one to
do the work," said Letty, not without a
spice of malice, as she lay on the calico -
covered settee with her poor ankle duly
set and bandaged.
"Not if I know it," said George
White. "Hire a lazy woman who'll
want a dollar and a half a week, and her
board into the bargain, to do the work
of this house? I guess not !"
"But what are you going to do?" asked
Letty.
"To do it myself to -be -sure. Half an
hour every morning and half an hour
every evening ought tO be enough to
square up accounts."
"Well, " said Mrs. White, "I shall
just like to see you do it !"
"Then you'll have your wish I" said
her husband.
He rose early the next
lighted the kitchen fire.
"Pshaw !" said he, as he piled on the
sticks of wood, "what does a woman's
work amount to, anyhow? What's the
next lesson, Letty ?'

"Hullo !" shouted Georg
"What's all this ;--4s t

"No," said Letty, Calmly, "orly th

George uttered a long siglat

"And what next ?" demanded Georg
fiercely tugging at his moustache.
"Why, set the table, and then clear
away and wash the dishes."
"With this cut finger ?", complain
the husband.
"I was obliged to do it all the tve.eks I
had that sore felon on my middle fingeri"
remarked Letty. "The young turkeys
and geese ought to have been let Out and

lor George had disappeared in the,
midst ef her exordium.
In twentyminute or so he returned,
and by his side trudged Mary Ann Pelt,
the iaearest neighbor's twenty-year•Vd
daughter.
"I take it all back," said Mr. Wh4e.
"I lealer my colors, Letty. Your work
is harder than mine'. I'll be everlastingly
blest it it ain't. Why, I couldn't take
care of the milk and'cream and cheepes

,"Are you quite sure you realize it

"I always- skim the cream and strain
the milk," said Letty, who, bolstered up
on the lounge, was combing her hair with
more deliberation than she had practiced
for a, year. _
' "Well, here goes then," said George.
And a period of silence ensued.
Presently he shouted :
"I haven't got milk -pans enough !"
"Of course you haven't !" said Letty.
"You must scald out yesterday's. You
know you said you couldn't set up a tin -
shop when I asked for a dozen more last
month."
"Theysmell like a fat -boiling factory,"
said George, disdainfully. "What ails
'em ?"
"You should have scalded them out
last night," sighed Letty, wishing that
she had wings like a dove that she might
soar into the milk -room and restore order
out of chaos.
"Here's a go !" said George. "There
isn't any hot water."
"Oh, George, you've forgotten to put
the kettle on !"
"So I did," said her husband. "And
the sticks, hang 'ern, are all burned
out !"
"You know 1 wanted you to get a ton
of coal," said Letty, 'but you said that
as long as wood cost nothing but the
chapping and hauling wood it
should be."
"Have I got to wait for that confound-
ed water to heat ?" groaned George.
"I don't know anything else for you
to do," remarked Letty, dryly.
"Humph !" observed her lord and mas-
ter. "What's for breakfast?"
and eggs, I suppose."
"Well, I'm up to that part of the pro-
gramme, at least," said he cheerfully.
"Oh, the dickens! What is the use of
keeping your knives so sharp? I've near-
ly cut my thumb off 1 Where do you

Miss Madison was a girl of action.
She speedily had all the preliminaries
settled with Lady Dumbledon, whose
service she was to enter toward the end
of January. But before taking up her
new duties she permitted herself the
rela,xation of a visit to a school friend

Would she forgive his precipitate wooing
out of charity for the violeoce of his pas-
sion for her, and promise tO become his
wife as soon as he returnedlhome ?"
This, denuded of many aassionate ex-
pressions of regard, was the substance of
the letter.
Miss Madison carried it Ito her father.
"What shall you do, child ?" he asked,
anxiously.
"I will take your advice, but I am in-
clined to accept Mr. White's offer," she
added, casting down her eyes and grow-
ing a little pale.
"You were always nost sensible
girl, Madge, and to be ,llrusted about
your own affairs. Accept him by all
means if you feel you can.'"
Thus encouraged by her family Miss
Madison accepted her fate. In return
for her complaisance,she received a rap-
turous (registered) letter of thanks, en-
closing a magnificent diamond betrothal

his hard luck in being obli ed to embark

• He particularly desires that his wife
should come handsomel equipped for
the round of country vis ts he meant to
take her immediately af er the first few
weeks of the honeymqon- were over.
Miss Madison, upon this, went to the
best people, and ere long had : ordered a
trousseau of modest and recherche mag-
nificence. ,The letters o ' her lover be-
came niore and more arcent. He begged
that the marriage might take place at
Easter, when he calcu ated he would
have just reached- En land. Let not
false delicacy, he implo ed his dearest
Madge, prevent her a °ceding to -his
wishes on this point.
Miss Madison had no false delicacy,
and the point Was conc ded. Expecta-
tion in the bosom of the little circle of
Norwood rose high, for, Mr. White was
on his way hom. e via Inflia, whither his
miserable affairs dragge1 him. In a few
weeks a letter came announcing that he
had reached Paris, where he was .just
stopping en passant to buy a few pretty
trifles for his bride. Then came a break
of three days in the correspondence, fol-
lowed by a letter from an English friend
of Mr. White's who had met him at his
hotel, telling of his sudden illness,
brought on by over-tra eling and over -
excitement. After this came a short
telegram announcing hi death.
Terrible, terrible d wnfall of high
hopes ! Was ever any girl so much to
be pitied. Madge Madison turned white
to her very lips with the shock of the
news. She walked blindly out of the
room, up the shabby stairs, and, locking
herself alone in her bedroom, sat down
to face the awful collapse of her bright
expectations.
The next day brought some ameliora-
tion of the situation to Colonel Madison,
though his poor daughter could hardly
be expected as yet to take comfort in it.
The same friend. wrote to say that his
"unfortunate fellow -countryman's last act
had been to sign -a huk:riedly prepared
will, leaving ev?rythin he possessed to
his betrothed wtfe. He had expressed a
wish that the !whole Madison family
