,ELLEN'S MERRY MOURN-
• ING.
• No one who haddriven through the
lodge gate and had noticed, the merry
face et Ellen the gate -keeper would be
likely soon to forget it. • She usually
wore a pink calico dress which was ale
Ways scrupulously neat and fitted her
trim figure to a T. Her ribbons were
pink, her cheeks were pink, and, the
children declared that her hair was pink
also; It WAS really a very pretty shade
of light red, and it`ctinkIed in a- be.
witching way. What a charming pic.
tura she ramie, framed by, the arched
window, the gray stone covered closely
with luxuriant ivy She was always
• sinilhig, and had a gay word of repertee
forlier fellow servantand a deferential
but cheerful greeting for her *openers,
jekee and amusing stories for the child-
ren, and when all aloneshe sang the
Jollied Irish songs and _ballade, with a
laughing lilt in -her voice which WAS SO
irresistible that the guests at the. villa
often sat for hours on the veranda,
where, unknownto her, they could hear
Ellen sing. Altogether she WAS the
most light leaded, merriest little yfO•
MAR you ever saw,- and we were all sur-
prised to see her appear OM Sunday in
full widow's weeds. We met her Just
_ returning. from:- church, and emarked
,• 'on the exuberance of health and spirit
displayed by the sablerobed figure,
though we did not at first- recognize it.
Through the folds of the heavy crape
veil I saw a glint of the red 'gold hair„
and there waseomething in her buoyant
• step which recalled the measure of those
lilting choruses. I believe she WAS
- thinking them- over and keeping time
• _ to their-beit and swing'as she; walked..
I suspected at once this WM no ordinary
.widow bowed! down by a heavy weight
. of woe, and when O'Flaherty,the coach-
mazeturned on his box and threw her
it kiss as we passed, we also turned and
saw the crape veil thrown back and
Ellen's rosy face framed- by a . coquet-
tish widow's cap. -
"Is Ellen in grief ?" I -asked.
"Not at all, my hostese answered,
laughing, "she is only in deep mourn•. ing and enjoys it very much.
"Some distant relative, I presume,
• who has left her money?"
"tha the contrary, it is- in honor of
her husband, to whom - she was very
• tenderly attached, ' and for whom she
has resisted the most persistent atten.
-Vona' of lovers through two long years
of widowhood. IS it not so, O'Flaherty?"
• The privileged coachman coughed and
chuckled, "It's aboutine, mum," he
admitted. .
"Ellen a widow!" T. exclaimed.
"Why, she is the merriest jade I ever
saw. You are talking. in riddles; will
you be kind enough to explain your
• Wailing -
Ellen must tell you," my friend re•
plied, and that afternoon I strolled
down to the lodge intent 'on unravelling
• the mystery. Ellen wore a neat, black
sateen, flecked with a tiny white figure
resembling snow flakes. Muslin cuffs
were folded -back from her wriats in the
- mod approved style, and the specks of
rubber earrings in her rosy ears were
matched by a spot of courtplaster on her
dimpled chin; English violets and -a
• black folded handkerchief were tucked
isflini belt. Ellen was evidently still
sustaining her character as a bewitching
little widoW. We had: had some Previ-
ous conversation, and I soon made an
opportunity of telling her that I was
sorry to hear of her bereavement.
Oh, yes, mum," -she admitted, "1
felt very 'bad entirely -for a spell. It's
a dreadful thing,. mum, to lose. one's
• husband, and I. hope you will never suf-
fer the likes:"
Lfelt not alittie indignant at Eben's
!• thew of grief, for the minx looked so
' complacent in her widows' weeds that
I was sure, that whatever she mighe have
- suffered was more than made up to her
by a sense of their becomingness, I
- -fancied, too, that as Ientered the
- lodge, I leid seen O'Flaheity, the coach-
• man, ineak out of the. back door, and
• I could not help saying - rather spite._
fully: " Tiine • brings consolation,
= Ellen, &mil should not be surprised if
you married a second time:"
A look of real pain and indignation
came into Ellen's' face. "Niver, mum,
Da you think I could marryanyone else
but my own Terry Shure, ity mistaken

we niver quarreled but, once, and that

felt that I dia.i..tiotqluirto uederstaud

Teljane about it," I said, as kindly
as I could. "How didiyou'lose your
husband ?" _
"It was this way, Mum," 'Filen ex-
plained. "When We were first married
I WAS waitress atthelouse, and Terence
was under gardener, and oh, mum, we
were that happy and•oomfortable until
• - the mistress sister came to spend the
- summer here, and. brought a peck of
- misery for • us in thim Sata.togy

on her husband, • t made up for that

through a gould ing, and the silky,

" Foolhardy ? I never beard of any
such material, Ellen. I have it! -You

• Well, be -it fool bard or feel soft, I

• made a fool of every man that camp

foolish as a man over her gown,. I un'e
packed her dresses for her, and hung
them up in .the closets, and all that

like a snowflake forninst a .eltimney-

"What's a requiem ?"- sityst Terry.
"It's a song they sing at 'A wake,"
• says I, and the Juke said it must be .
very flattering to her husband to knew
that such a lovely young orathur was
mourning for him in suchfoine, style.
Mourning is becoming," says I, "I'd
• `like to wear it myself. It must be a
'great consolation to a widder. If you
should die, Terry," says 1, "I would.

" You'd - be glad enough of the
chance," says he, "and that stuck.iip
butler, too. Never yotilet me hear yeu
speak of him again, or it's the four eyes
-of you both that I'll ,put in mourning,"
lays he. • 7
"It Was the butler, mum, that Made
the trouble betwixt us more than the
mourning." The mistress never would_
have ha a man in the house doing vice
man's .work, but Mrs. Delacey she
broughthim from the Any slang with
her new-fangled faxhions, and shure he
needed more waiting on than any of
the aristoersoy, ' ordering round . the
• other servants and driving the cook
wild with the French dishes he was al -
*aye' a iniggesting. But mind you, he
didn't order me atall, at all. Quite
contrary, the villain, he was always
blarneying my hair and -my eyee, and
eying as how he would like to see me.
In one of Mrs: DelaceY's dresses, for he
was sure I would be purtier in it than
her ladyship herself. And whether it
was that he asked his mistress for nueI
don't know, but what did Mrs. De-
lacey do but gine me' one of her old
gowns. Now, though I was dying to
see myself in it, I was that feared Of
Terry that -I didn't dare to put it on,.
until one -day it happened that the mas-
tet tent him to Jereme-. Park with one
of the horses, and he was to be gone
three days, and as good luck would have
it, my third cousin's wife -had just died;
SO of course I had the opportunity: I.

Ellen I" slays he. "Sure, I've come all
_the way to take you, seeing I knew
Terry was was away," says he. -" Oh,"
says 1,* "I'm not going to the burying,"
says- I, for I didn't like to ride with him
himat all. "Then - let me take you

ing that with that he would be off with-

thing r could have done, for . he just
waited around, the craythur, an' with
the people.' being late back* from -the
burying, and insisting that I 'should
stay for supper, it was near dark when
I started for home. And therewasthe
butter waiting for me, but I wouldn't
ride with him, but just took my cousin's
eIdesthoy for company, and cut through
the pine woods a Abort way. But, as
bad luck would have it, I came out on
the highway and sent: the boy back just
after the'butler who had driven round
by the road and had stopped at every
saloon on the way, passed by; BP that

Minutes before I came home, and who

black as a thunder cloud. • .
"Well, I was serpriSed enough' to

"S, I've caught ,you,'" -says he, *"-you
have been riding with the butler," and
the more I denied it the madder he got.
And what . do you mean by dressing
yourself up like a widder ?" lays he.
"1! you want to be a widdy, it's not I

but Terry or his body WAS never found.
"Then were the sorrowful days' of my
life, mum. • The mistress was very kind
to me and_wanted Me. to stay all the
tiine i:t thelousn. instead of spending,
my nights so lonely at. the. lodge. But
wouldn't do it, for I thought maybe
-Terry wasn't dead after all, and if he
came back some evening he Should find ,
the window lighted and the supper
waiting."
"M:poor Ellen," ;aye the Mistress,
"don't deceive yourself, forhe is dead
for sure, and certain." .
"In my heart I was. near believing
her, but I kept up courage on the - out-
