THE BRASS ANDIRONS.
For thirty years old Eben Farwell
had lived alone in his father's home-
stead. Its walls had growl grayer, its
roof more sunken, its furniture blacker.
and more rusty, while lie repaired
nothing and added nothing. Now he
two nieces
was dead,two and his nieces, children
respectively of his brother and his
sister, were rambling through the
house with the purpose of dividing -the
personal effects. They shuddered and
exclaimed over the dirt in holes and
corners, all the evidence of the old
bachelor's careless, grimy life. But
the,solid mahogany chairs, chests of
drawers, and tables which :had been
the property of his respectable mother,
had suffered but slight injury from dust
and neglect, and were contemplated b3,
..the thrifty heirs not without satisfac-
tion. One of the young • women was
gnash more vivaeions in her movements
and exclamations than the other, and
was apparently more deeply shocked
by the disorder of the house. Her
name was Lois Hewitt. The other,
Sarah Lovell, accepted things more
quietly. She had been better acquaint-
ed with her uncle's ways. She had
penetrated his solitude during his lat-
ter days so as to be allowed some
knowledge of his real life. She had
entered noprotests against his habits ;
exercising thereby a degree of prudence
that would have been impossible for
Lois, who could never come in contact
with him without feeling an impatience
of his stupid ways which she made lit-
tle attempt to conceal. 1
Sarah and Lois were not only nous -
ins; but had. been intimate friends from
childhood. They were dividing the va-
rious articles very amicably, till as they
ascended the garret stair Lois said: ..
"If you see anything you would like
to set off against my grandmother's
brass andirons, let me know. I want
to keep those. Grandma used to say
they should be mine because I had her
name. She always set store by them."
Sarah colored - slightly and looked
perplexed. If you had been near her
you might have seen a slight stiffening
go through her whole frame, as if she
were nerving her gentle yet very stub-
born nature for a combat. Site asked :
"Do you mean those low ones- that
used to stand in the room that was
hers ?"
Sarah made a little sound as if clear-
ing her throat. She found it an effort
to speak. "Why, Lois, they are not
here now. The fact is, I bought them
of Uncle Eben one day, two or three
months ago."
Lois faced about upon . her: "You
bought them of Uncle Eben 7"
"Yes, I saw them with a lot of old
things tumbled into a closet, and I
asked him if he had no use for them
if he'd sell them to me, and he said he
would. So I paid for them and took
them home."
"And you never told me." There was
anger and chagrin in Lois' face.
"I -I -didn't think of it. How could
'know you set store by them, Lois ?"
Her words conveyed an untruth.
Hers was a retentive mind, and quite
clear among its memories was Lois'
wish, acoiderltally expressed many years
ago, to possess those andirons. She
had remembered it when she bought
them, and frequently since. But their
shape and brightness had taken her fancy
as well as that of Lois ; she had seen
her opportunity and made the most of
it. Lois, with her keen gaze, -suspected
the falsity, and her sense of the nn -
friendliness of the act - increased the
anger caused by her disappointment.
"You did know !" she said. "It was
just like you, Sarah Lovell. Yon took
a mean advantage. What right had
you to some here preten Sing to be kind
to Uncle Eben, and getting away grand-
mother's thingS ? I should like to
know what else you boughtof him."
• "You've no right to speak so to me,
Lois," said Sarah. "I bought nothing
else ; and I'd a perfect !right to buy
those." -
-"You had not, without "letting me
know ! And he'd no right to sell them
either.' . 1
"I don't see why."
"Because they were promised to me."
"But we did not know that, Lois.".
"Well, you knew it now: I tell you,
Sarah Lovell, I haven't' expected to
have those andirons all these years to
give them up now. Since you've
bought them I'll pay you your price for
them, ; but I mean to have them. I •
didn't have an open fireplace built in
my best chamber for nothing. I " al-
ways calculated to put those andirons
there, and I mean to still."
Sarah looked very dogged, but she
tried, to expostulate reasonably :
"I don't see how you can compel me
to give them up, Lois. Of course I
bought them because I wanted them.
I've let you have your own choice here
a great deal to -day. I don't ' see why
yon should fly out about such a little
thing."
Lois looked at her, -angered past all
forbearance. '
"You've given me my choice. Well,
yon may take your own now. I'll di-
vide no more property with you, Sarah
Lovell. Take what you like, and leave
what you like ! I'm sick of your un-
derhanded ways; I'm going home."
And she hurried away, slamming the
door of the silent house behind her.
Sarah thus left alone stood still a
moment, striviug to satisfy what she
felt to be the needless faintness of her
good conscience. Though pained and
somewhat heartsick she :wavered not
from any of her little purposes. She
meant always to be just and justifiable.
With quiet persistence- she soon re-
sumed her business. She had had the
equitable division of Uncle Eben's
things long mapped out in her mind;
In her friendly labors with Lois this
morning her plans had been followed
quite closely, though unrevealed. She
had known pretty well what things
Lois would best like, as well as her own
compensations. But Lois must be ex-
pected to 4'fiyout" sometimes,
She finished putting her little chalk
mark on the tidings her husband was to
bring away for her to -night. She took
no advantage of Lois' absence, leaving
a more generous share than she would -
have done if she had not been 'still re-
solved to keep the audirons. That
night she sent to Lois the key of the
old house with a little note which read
as follows :
"Dear Lois, -I send the key of the
house. I was sorry to finish dividing
the things without you, and I tried to
consult what I thought would be your
wishes,and if you feel dissatisfied
about anything, won't you let me
know? I am sorry I made you
