It was the latter part of Novem-
ber when an event; occurred in
'iidgevilte that agitated Mielgevtlie
that agitated lllidgeville society
from .centre to. eirpulnfereuce,
It was no new thing for Midge -
vine society to be agitated. Indeed,
it would have been a much better
thing for it to have -remained un -
agitated, for any length of time.
Mrs. Priscilla Downs often said
that '1,141'ke' ille was the excitingest
place she ever resided in.' As her
l
youth had been spent .in the whirl
'-of 'gaiety at 33n1d Hili Cove, and
fifteen years of her married -life
within three miles of .Poverty
Corner, this was saying a great
deal, but it was'true, nevertheless-;
there was,. as 'Mrs. Priscilla affirmed,
Always . something ' happening .at
Alidgevilte.
:Midgeville, bad .Mien 'into a state
of apathy not uncommon after ;.eat
and prolonged excitement, when it
was again aroused by the startling
iutelligenee that .Widow Denson.
end .her two children land been
j
ilrned out of doors.
' • Mrs. Benson :had `formerly •liver.
{,
in Pinewood, but three }Dais gofere
bad bought a pretty. cottage :of Di.
I{olples, and, With her. little • family
had takezl, u1) her abode in. Midge-
-villa.
Shp had paid $500 down (tile
neighbor's' soon ;found out) and an
.unma.r'ried brother, who was earii-
"'
ing a good.'salar'y in t}e'oity, bootie
responsible • for the balance, But
the brother had 'died soon after the
purchase, end being.unable t& n.kke
the payments Herself, the .willow
c was nowto be turned oat -of house
and home into the : cold, ,,'cold
At least such was . the( story, and
it Caine straight. Mrs. Muggins,
the blacksmith's wife, had just step..:
ped into. Mrs. Benson's on. Monday,
• `while the clothes' were boiling' to
'get a little advice as to how she'd
better trite Susan Maria's dress;.
• and found her packing up and .get-
ting
get=ting ready to move, .and,: 'in answer.
to her inquiries as to her object in
:1liloviugin ' cold, weather, she said
• that. 'Dr. Holmes wanted: 'the house
for oue of his; nephews.'
'She' didn't 'pearto want 'to talk
mach about it,' said •Mrs. Huggins ;
`poor erceter, I suppese''she felt -So
4' bad she couldn't:; 1' don't.think
itifshe's the least. idee where she's a-'
'goln' to live, although 'she's going
••to :her .sisters at Pinewood for a
spell; but her sister has got a family
of her ,own and of course she can't
be expected to Feriae a home. for
two children!'
..a widder and - w o c r
Mrs. 'Muggins" was terribly indig
limit, and so waseveryone` to whom
-...: 'she' told :the . story,, : and it Was
thought beat to. lave a meeting ' of
the Union S.ewving Sooiety the next
it liras net the da
day(although o Y
for• their Meeting)
and see what
r g) '
could be done aboutit. The .meet-
ing was held atthe•presic'lent's,11lrs,.
Murch's,'who lived directly oppos-
its. Dr.iHolmes' residence. It was:
•
well 'attended, and'' -never did Union•
Sewing Society show a More 'united
• spirit than in. -denouncing" Dr.
Holmes and etpxeasing sympathy
.
for the unfortunate w.idowv. •
arfm- boldy-pro-
posed raisin& money by subscription
(of course, being fa:widoW, herself,
she wouldn't be expected . tb give
anything),. .but ;the other ladies,.
after .Making mental calculations,
concluded that it wouldn't be best.;
Widow• Benson was a` .dreadful
high-spirited woman -and. might
feel affronted.'
So there. seemed ''nothftng they
could do after (til. except to -free"
their minds, hitt'they dict' that
thoroughly4 ..
It was perfectly scandalous, they
. declared, for Dr. Holmes, the rich-
est man in 1-l;iclgevillo, ' and not a
child or chick in the world, to op-
press the widow' and fatherless. ' •
'Such a good 'woman 'as she •is in
sickness,'. said Mrs. Taylor, whose
children had had a run of the
dresses ; 'and dreadful tasty,' sigh-
ed Grandma Newcomb, wondering
where her pretty

'blamed the Widder Benson, but
she wanted to hit the Wieldy. Sharpe
>A dab for not paying her grocery
bill,'
Miss Eudora Piper, who was
afflicted with nervous. headaches,. rc-
marked that she 'bad always found
Dr. Holmes most gentle end affeo-
tion.: and then stopped suddenly
as if she had said more than she,
intended to, although oyerybody,
and especially the widow Sharpe,
knew she hadn't.
'There's the doctor's hired. man
harnessing the horse,' said 11Ira.
Alurch, looking out of the front
window, 'and as sure as I'm alive
that's a brand-uew kerridge, and
what a big ane for just one---'
'Ma, Ma,' yelled Toby March,
tumbling over the doorstep in his
hurry to telt the news, 'Will Ben-
son says his mother was married,
last night to Dr. Holntes, and he's
goin' tor Pinewood to thanksgivin'.'
True enough, the doctor gut the
two children into the carriage and
helped the waiter in with a most
lover -like devotion, • "
'Ile sort o' does pear affectionate,'
said the Widow Sharpe, looking at
Miss Piper with an exasperating
3111110 r
• 'There's no fool like an old fool,'•
snapped, the fair Eudora..
'Did you ever I' asked the presi-
dent, as the carriage rolled past, and
she turned from„ the' window and
gazed upon the members:
And the members admitted • tliat
they. 'never clitl, really, although
they had mistrusted it all along.' .

They were talking about forttine-

When a Inert who was present said
"No doubt they .hit the nail..:on

'At this there liras a general laugh,
