to his taste altogether; but he said : "P

"What is Mr. Peck's objection ?" d
mended Mr. Gerrish, perceptibly bristlin
up at the name of his pastor.
Why, he talked it over with Mies Ki

"Exactly," said Mrs. Munger. "1 nev

Mrs. Gerrish shifted her baby to anothe
knee, and followed her husband with he
eyes, as he dismounted from his stool an
began to pace the room.

"It's their wastefulness, in nine case

Mrs. Gerrish.
"1 don't care what it is, I don't ask
what it is that keeps them down. I don'
expect to invite my clerks or Mrs. Gerrish'
servants into my parlor. I will meet their

" Yes," said Mrs. -Munger, with deep
conviction, " that is my own feeling, Mr.

Putney continued, ignoring the laugh of

did my best for 'em. Why, you fools,'
paid I—that's the way I talk to 'em, Annie;
I call 'em pet names; they like it ; they're
used to 'em ; they get 'em every day in the
ewspapers—' you fools,' said I, 'what do
you want to boycott for, when you Clin
vote? What do you want to break the
laws for, when you can make 'em? You
idiots, you,' said I, ,whet do you putter
round for, persecuting non-union men, that
have as good a right to earis their bread as
you, when you might make the whole
United States of America a Labor Union?'
Of course I didn't say that in court."
"Ob, how delicious yen are, Mr.Putney
said Mrs. Munger.
I "Glad you like me, Mrs. Munger," Put-
ney replied.
' Yes, you're delightful," said the lady,
recovering from the effects of the drollery
Which they had all pretended to enjoy, Mr.
Gerrish and Mrs. Gerrieh by his leave, even
more than thee others. "But you're not
dandid. All this doesn't help us to a con -
elusion. Would you give up the invited
dance and supper, or wouldn't you? That's
the question,'
"And no shirking, hey ?" asked Putney.
" No shirking."
Putney glanced through a little transpa-
rent space in the ground-glass windows
framing the room, which Mr. Gerrish used
for keeping an eye on his salesladies to see
that they did not sit down.
," Hello 1" he exclaimed. "There's Di.
Morell. Let's put the case to him." He
opened the door and called down the store,
1" Come in here, Doc !"
I" What?" called back an amused voice;
and after a moment steps approa.ched, and
Di. Morrell hesitated at the open door. He
was a tall man, with a slight stoop ; well-
dressed ; full -bearded; with kind, boyish
blue eyes that twinkled in fascinating
friendliness upon the group. "Nobody
sick here, I hope ?"
"Walk right in, sir ! come in, Dr. Mor-
rell," said Mr. Gerrish. " M rs. Munger
and Mrs. Gerrish you know. Present you
to Miss Kilburn, who has come to make her
home among us after a prolonged residence
abroad. Dr. Morrell, Miss Kilburn."
. "No, there's nobody sick here, in one
sense," said Putney, waiting for the doctor
to greet the ladies. " But we want your
advice all the same. Mrs. Munger is in a
pretty bad way morally, Doc."
"Don't l'you mind Mr. Putney, doctor 1"
screamed 1Virs. Gerrish.
Putney said, with respectful recognition
of ,the poor woman's attempt to be anch,
"I'll try to, keep within the bounds of
truth in stating the case, Mrs. Gerrish."
He went on to state it, with so much
gravity and scrupulosity, and with so many
appeals to Mrs, Munger to correct him if
he were wrong that the doctor was shak-
ing with laughter when Putney came to an
end with unbroken seriousness. Al, eaeh
repetition of the facts, Annie's relation th
them grew more intolerable; and she sus-
pected Putney of an intention to punish
her. "Well, what do you say ?" he de-
manded of the doctor.
Ha, ha ha! ah, ha, ha !" laughed the
doctor, shutting his eyes and throwing back
hie,hseeisedm.
Seems to consider it a laughing mat-
ter, said Putney to Mrs. Munger.
"Yes ; and that is all your fault," said
ness of a large woman to pout.
Mrs. Munger, trying with the ineffective-
" No, no. I'm not woman,
the
doctor.
"Smiling, perhaps," suggested Putney.
The doctor went off again. • Then, I
beg—I beg your pardon, Mrs. Munger," he
resumed. But it isn't a professional ques-
tion, you know; and I—I really couldn't
judge—have any opinion on such a matter."
No shirking,' said Putney. "That's
what Mrs. Munger said to me."
"Of course not," gurgled the doctor.
"You ladies will know what to do. I'm
sure I shouldn't," he added.
" Well, I must be going," said Putney.
"Sorry to leave you in this fix, Doc." He
flashed out of the door, and suddenly came
back to offer Annie his hand. "1 beg your
pardon, Annie. I'm going to make Ellen
bring me round. Good morning." He
bowed cursorily to the rest. -
" Wait—I'll go with you, Putney," said
the doctor.
Mrs. Munger rose, and Annie with her.
"We must go too," she said. "We've
taken up Mr. Gerrish's time 'moat uncon-
scionably," and now Mr. Gerrish did not
urge her to remain.
Well, good -by," said Mrs.Gerrish, with
a genteel prolongation of the last syllable.
"Mr. Gerrish followed his guests down
the store, and even out upon the sidewalk,
where he presided with unheeded hospitality
over the superfluous politeness of Patney
and Dr. Morrell in putting Mrs. Munger
and Annie into the phaeton. Mrs. Munger
attempted to drive away without having
taken up her hitching weight.
" suppose that there isn't a post in this
town that my wife hasn't tried to pull up in
that way," said Putney, gravely.
The doctor doubled himself down with
another fit of laughing.
Annie wanted to laugh too, but she did
not like his laughing. She questioned if it
were not undignified. She felt that it mightf
be disrespectful. Then she asked hersei
why he should respect her.
" That was a great success," said Mrs.
Munger, as they drove away. .Annie sad
nothing, and she added, "Don't you think

Wilmington first."
"Mrs. Munger," said Annie uneasily,
"1 would rather not see Mrs. Wilmington
with you on this subject; I should be of no
use."
"My dear, you would be of the greatest
use," persisted Mrs. Munger and she laid her
arm across' Annie's lap, as if? to prevent her
jumping out of the phaeton. "As Mrs.
Wilmington's old friend, you will have the
greatest influence with ker."
"But I don't know that I wish to in-
fluence her in favor of the supper and
dance; I don't know that I • believe in
them," said Annie, cowed and troubled by
the affair.
"That doesn't make the slightest differ-
ence," said Mrs. Munger, impartially. "All
you will have to do is to keep still, I will
put the case to her."
She checked the pony before the bar
which the flagman at the railroad crossing
had let down, while a long freight train
clattered deafeningly by, and then drove
bumping and jouncing across the tracks. "1
suppose you remember what Over the
Track' means in Hatboro' ?"
"Oh, yes" said Annie, with a smile.
" Social perdition at the least. You don't
mean that Mrs. Wilmington lives Over the
Tr" Yes?. 15
It isn't so bad as it used to be,
socially. Mr. Wilmington has built a very
fine house on this side, and there are several
pretty Queen Anne cottages going up."
They drove along under the elms which
here stood somewhat at random about the
wide, grassless street, between the high,
windowy bulks of the shoe arid hat shops. The
dust gradually freed itself from the cinders
about the tracks, and it hardened into a
handsome, newly made road beyond the
houses of the shop hand/. They passed
some open lots, and then, on a pleasant ris-
ing of ground, they came to a stately resi-
dence, lifted still higher on its underpin-
ning of granite blocks. It was built in a
Boston suburban taste of twenty years ago,
with a lofty mansard -roof, and it was paint-
ed the stone gray color which was once es-
teemed for being so quiet. The lawn before
it sloped down to the road, where it ended
smoothly at the brink of a neat stone wall.
A black asphalt path curved from the steps
by which you mounted from the street to
the steps by which you mounted to the
heavy portico before the massive black wal-
nut doors.
The ladies were shown to the music -room,
from which the netea of a piano were sound-
ing when they rants, and Mrs. Wilmington
rose from the instrument to meet them. A
young man who had been standing beside
her turned away. Mrs. Wilmington was
dressed in a light morning dress with a -
Watteau fall, 'when delicate russets and
faded reds and yellows heightened the rich-
ness of her complexion and hair.
"Why, Annie," she said, "how glad I
am to see you 1 And you too, Mrs. 'Mun-
ger. How very nice !" Her words took
value from the thicklmellow tones of her
voice, and passed for much more than they
were worth intrinsically. She moved lazily
about and got them into chairs, and was not
resentful when Mrs. Munger broke out
stith "How hot you have it 1" Have we?
We had the furnace lighted yesterday, and
we've been in all the morning, and so we
hadn't noticed. Jack, won't you shut the
register?" she drawled over her shoulder.
"This is my nephew, Mr. Jack Wilming-
ton, Miss Kilburn. Mr. Wilmington and
Mrs. Munger are old friends."
The young fellow bowed silently, and his
heavy jaw, long eyes, and low forehead, al-
most hidden under a thick bang, expressed
no pleasure in the ladies' visit. Annie in-
stantly took at dislike to him. He sat down
cornerwise on a chair, and listened, with
a scornful thrust of his thick lips, to their
ats, auhlk.

her budget with all her robust
shame. When she came to the question of
the invited supper and dance and having
previously committed Mrs. Wilmington in
favor of the general scheme, asked her
what she thought of that part, Mr. Jack
Wilmington answered for her with a con-
temptuous hump:
"1 should think you had a right to do
what you please about it. It's none of the
hands' business if you don't choose to ask
them."
"Yes, that's what any one would think
—in the abstract," said Mrs. Munger.
" Nowe little boy," said Mrs. Wilming-
ton, with indolent amusement, putting out
a silencing hand in the direction of the
young man, "don't you be so fast. You
let your auntie speak for herself. I don't
know about not letting the hands stay to
the dance and supper, Mrs. Munger. You ,
know I might feel put upon.' I used to
be one of the hands myself. Yes, Annie,
there was a time after you went away, an
after father died, when I actually fell so low
as to work for an honest living."
"1 think I heard, Lyra," said Annie;
"but I had forgotten." Thfact, in con-
nection with what had been said, made her
still more uncomfortable.
" Well, I didn't work very bard, and I sr
didn't have to work long. But I was a
hand, and there's no use trying to deny it.
As Mr. Putney says, he and I have our re-
cord, and we don't need to make any pre-
tences. .And the question is whether I
ought to go back on my fellow -hands."
"Oh, but Mrs. Wilmington !" said Mrs.
Munger, with intense deprecation, "that's
such a very different thing. You were not
brolight up to it; it Was just temporary ;
and besides—"
"And besides there was Mr. Wilming-
ton, I know. He was very opportune. I
might have been a hand at this moment if
-Mr. Wilmington bad not come along and
invited me to be a head—the head of his
house. And the question is, Annie,
whether 1 oughtn't to remember my low be-
gh!nings..'
I suppose we all like to be consistent,"
answered Annie, aimlessly, uneasily.
"Yes," Mrs. Munger broke in ; "but
they were not your beginnings, Mrs. Wil-
mington ; they were your incidents—your
accidents."
"It's very pretty of you to say so, Mrs.
Munger," drawled Mrs. Wilmington.
"But I guess I must oppose the little in-
vited dance and supper, on principle. We
all like to be coneistent, as Annie says
—even if we're consistent in the attempt,"
she added, with &laugh.
" Very well, there exciaimed Mrs. Mun-
ger, " we'll drop them'. As I said to Miss
Kilburn on our way her, 'If Mrs. Wil-
tmhiennigt.,o,n, is opposed to them, we'll drop
" Oh, am 1 such an influential person ?"
said Mrs. Wilmington, with a shrug. "Its
rather awful—isn't it, Annie ?"
"Not at all 1" Mrs. Munger answered
for 4nnie. " We've just been talking the
matfer over with Mr. Putney and Dr. Mor-
rell, and they're both opposed. You're
merely the straw that breaks the camel's
back, Mrs. Wilmington."
"Oh, thank you ! That's a great relief."
" Well—and now the question is, will
you take the part of the Nurse or not in
the dramatics ?" asked Mrs. Munger, re-
turning to business.
"Well, I must think about that, and I
must ask Mr. Wilmington. Jack," she call-
ed over her shoulder to the young man at
the window, "do you think your uncle
would approve of me as Juliet's Nurse ?"
"You'd better ask him," growled the
young fellow.
"Yes, I know. But what do you
think ?"
"1 think younould play any part you at-
tempted."
"Well, , said Mrs. Wilmington, With
another laugh, " think it over, Mrs.
Munger."
"Thank you," said Mrs. Munger. "And
now we must really be going," she added,
pulling out her watch by its leathern guard.
"Not till you're had lunch," said Mrs.
,Wilmington, rising with the ladies. "You
must stay. Annie, I shall not excuse you."
" Well," said Mrs. Munger, complying
without regard to Annie, "all this diplo-
macy is certainly very exhausing."
"Lunch will he on the table in one mo-
ment," returned Mrs-. Wilmington, as the
ladies sat clown again provisionally. "Will
you join us, Jack ?"
" No ; i'm going to the .otfice," said the
nephew, bowing himself out of the room.
"Jack's learning to be superintendent,"
said Mrs. Wilmington, lifting her teasing
voice to make him, hear her in the hall,
"and he's been spending the whole morn-
ing here."
In the richly appointed dining-noom—a
glitter of china and glass and a mewl of car-
ven oak—the table was laid for two.
" Put another plate, Norah," said Mrs.
Wilmington, carelessly.
There was bouillon in teacups, ,chicken
cutlets in white sauce, and luscious! straw-
berries.
"What a cook 1" cried Mrs. Mungeryover
the cutlets.
" Yes, she's a treasure ; I don't deny it,"
said Mrs. Wilmington -
(To be continued.)
When Queens Reign
It is a singular historic fact that the reign
of every Queen in modern times has been at-
tended by a wonderful advancement in the
material, political, literary, and even milit-
ary progress of her country. The reign of
Catherine the Great witnessed the widiest
extension of the Russian Empire that had
been known up to her time. The reign of
Maria Thersa was a period of mosperity for
Austro-Hungary, in spite of the Seven
Years' War, while the reigns of Elizabeth
and Anne, in English history were ages of
glory in letters, art, and war'and that of
Mary might have been but for the unlucky
foreign alliance she formed with Phillip of
Sgain. Great Britain has never seen such
an age as that ot Victoria, and perhaps will
not for centuries. The presence of a Queen
on the throne as sovereign seems to inspire
all the poetry and chivalry there is in the
nature of man, and perhaps that fact fur-
nishes an adequate explanation.
