"Ye donej v?onderful!" raid Uncle Eb, and Hope Showed quite ae men pleas- ure in her Own sweet way. I was for going to lny room and be- ginning to write at once, but Hope said it was time to be getting ready for dinner!, 'When we came down at half after 6 we were presented to our host awl the guests of - the evening—handsome inee and women in full dress—a nd young Mr. Livingstone was among them. I felt rather cheap in my frock coat, el - though I:had thopgbt it grand enough for anybedy on the day of my grad- uation. 'Dinner announced, the gentle- men rOSO and offered eecort to the la- dles, and Hope and Mr;. Fuller relley- md our embarrassment by eondneting us to our seats—women are so (left in those little difficulties. The dinner was not more formai than that of every evening in the Ful- ler home—foe its master was a rich man of !some refinement of taste—and not at 'fill comparable to the splendid hospitality one may see every day at the table of a modern millionaire, But It did seem very wonderful to us, then, with its fine mannered servants, -its flower& its abundant eilver. Hope had written much to her mother of the de- tails of deportment at John Fuller's table, and Elizabeth had delicately im- parted to us the things we ought to know., We behaved well. I have since been told, although we got credit for poorer, appetites than we possessed, Uncle Eb took no chances and refused everYthing that had a look of mystery and a, suggestion of 'peril, dropping a °droll remark betimes that sent a ripple of amusement around the table. Joliet Trumbull sat opposite me, and even tyen I felt a curious iuterest in hitn—a big, full bearded Mao, quite. six feet tall, his skin and eyes dark, his hair JIM gsay, his voice deep like Da- vid's. I emild net get over the impres- sion that I had seen him before—a feel- ing I have had often facing men I could never possibly have met. ' No i .. Word came out of his firm mouth un-, less he were addressed, and then all in hearing listened to the little he had to say. It was never more than some very foemple remark.

I recall a night when 1 had to come home alone from rehearsal. I was horribly afeaid. I remember passing him under a%street lamp. If he had spoken to me thee I should have dropped with fear, and he would have had to carry me 'mine that time," "It's an odd thing a girl like you should ever have to walk home alone," said Mr. Fuller. "Doe;n't speak well for our friend Livingstone, or Burnham, there, or Dobbs." "Mrs, Fuller doesn't give us half a chance," said Livingstone. "She guards • her day and night. It's like the monks and the hely grail." "Hope Is independent of the young 'men," said Mrs. Fuller as we rose from the table. "If I cannot de with her myself in the carriage I always send a maid or a man servant to Wallt home with her. Bet Mr. Fuller and I Were out of town that night, and the young men missed their great opportu- nity." "Had a differ'et way sparkin' years ago," said 'Uncle Eb.

The rude dialect of the backwoodsinan might have seemed oddly out of place there buf for the quiet, unassuming manner and the fine i old fa\ce of Uncle Eb, in which the dullest eye might see the soul of a gentleman. "What 'became of Lucy?" Mr. Fuller inquired laughingly. "You never mar- ried her?" "Lucy dietl," be answered soberVe "Taet was long, long ago."

There was a great crowd la the church that cov- emd, with sweeping arches, an interior more vast than apy had ever entered.Hope was gowned in white silk, a crescent of diamonds ber hair, a birthday gift from Mrs: Fuller. First Henry Cooper came on with his viollu—a great master as I now re- member him. Then Hope ascended to the platform, her dainty kid slippers showing under ber gown, and the odi- ous Livingstone escorting her. I was never so madly in love or se insanely jealous. I must confess it, for I am. trying to tell the whole truth of My- self—I was. a fool. And it is the great- er, folly that one says ever "I was" and never "I am" in that plea.

"They haven't fixed the clay yet." She sat looking down at her fan, -a beautiful, filmy thing between braces. of ivory. Her knees were crossed, one dhinty foot slowing under ruffles of lace.

Before I coiled speak Mr. Fuller had come tfAough the doorway. "Come, Hope," she saki, :it cannot let you sit up late. You are worn out, my dear." Thee Hope bade us both good night and went away to her room. If I had knowe as mech about watuen then as now I should have had it out, with short delay, to some understanding be- tween us. But in that subject one loves and learns.

OPE was nat at breakfast with us. "The child is worn out," said eIrs. Fuller. ."I shall keep her in bed a day or two." "Couldn't I see her a moment?" I In- quired. e"Dear, no!" said she. "The poor thing is in bed with a headache." 'If Hope had been Ill at home I should have felt free to go and sit by her as' I hate done more thee once, It seemee a little severe to be ehut away freer her uow, but Mrs, leteleref man- ner bad foreanswered any appeal, aad bele my peace, Xiavinj ne ebildren of her own, she had. assumed a- sort of proprietorship over Hope that was evi- dent. That probably was why the girl had ceased to -love me and to write to me as of old., A troop of mysteries came clear to tee that morning. Though many .gifts and favoks she had got my sweetheart in "rt sort 'of bondage and would make a marriage of her own choosing'11 possible. "Is there auytbing you -would like Particularly for your 'breakfast?" Mrs. Puller inquired. "Hain't DO way pertielar," said Un- cle Eb. "I gou'rally eat 'buckwheat pancakes an' maple sugar with "a good strong cup 0'. tea." Mrs. Fuller left the room a moment. , "Dunne, but I'll go out t' the barn a Minnit an' take a look at the hoses," he said when she came back. "The stable is a mile away," she re - "Gran' good team ye druv us out with las' night," he said. "Hed a chance t' look 'em over a leetlethere at the door.

She thanked him and invited us to look in et the conservatory. "Wheeb's yer husband?" Uncle Eb inquired. "He's not up yet," said she. "I fear he did not sleep well." "Now, - Fuller," said Uncle lib as we sat waiting, "if there's anything, I can dot' help .jes' le' 'me know ;what 'Us." She said there was nothing. Pres- ently Uncle .Eb sneezed so powerfully that it rattled the crystals on the chan- delier grid rang in the brass ilous.. • The first and second butlers came running in with a frightened look. There was also a startled movement frem somebody above stairs. "I do sneeze powerful ()sometimes," said Uncle Eb from under his red bandanna. "'5 enough t' scare any- body." They brought in our breakfast then —a great array of tempting dishes. "Jest liev four peneakes an' a biled egg," said Uncle Eb as he sipped his tom "Gran' tea," he added; "strong enough V float a sillier dollar too." "Mrs. Fuller," I said, rising, when we had finished, "I thank you for your hospitality, but as I shall have to work nights probably I must find lodgings near the office." , "You must come and see us again," she answered coreatliy; "On Saturday, , I shall take Hope away for a bit Of rest, to Saratoga probably, and from there I shall take her to Hillsborough myself for a day or two." "Thought she was goin' home with me," said Uncle Eb. "Oh, dear, no!" said Mrs. Fuller. "She cannot go- now. The girl is Ill, and it's such a long journey." The postman came then with a letter for Uncle Eb. It was from David Brower, He would balm to be gone a week or so buying cattle. and thought Uncle Eb had better come home as soon as con- venient. "They're lonesome," he said thought- fully after going over the letter again. "Taint no wonder—they're gittin' old." Uncle Eb was older than either of them, but he had note thought of that. "Le's see; 's about 8 o'clock," said he presently. • "I've got t' go an' ten' to some business o' my own, be baek, here some time t'day, Mis' Fuller, an' I'll hey t' see thet girl. You Mustn't -never try t' • keep me 'way from her. She's sot on my knee too many year fer that—altogether too many." We arranged to meet there at 4. Then a servant brought us our hats. I heard Hope calling as we passed the stair- way; "Won't you come up a minute, Uncle -Eb? I want to see you very much.'" Then Uncle Eb hurried upstairs, and I came away.
