T, Stswy>sr, rho utt Bonaire merchant of New York. Wednesday. Oct. 9th 1889 "Oh, you are so titnid i" he said, by way of excueing himself. "Miss Stewart is afraid of nothing ; there is some chance of teaching her how to manage a horse," and then he went off to play tennis. George and Leo had formed a court in front of the house, aid Leo had sent to Brisbane for an outfit. If it had not been for tennis, I should never have seen my brother; all this time would have been de- voted to teacHug Amy to ride. I could not help thinking about the letter to Dolly Devay, which Leo seemed to have forgotten alto- gether. When I reminded him of it once, he laughed and said : "It is too absurd to think about ; I must boeu driven out of my wits by my bachelor Iron blas. Dotty will box my ears for it, if I ever go to old England and Bloxhorne again'" "And Ion's you want Dolly 1'I asked innocently, "No; I've changed any mind," he replied, and went away whistling as though anxious to end the con- versation. 1 knew very well what that meant, and could uot help wishing that he was uot so positive about Dolly's re - refusal. I longed for a letter from England iu reply ; that would clear away my lingering uneasiness. Meanwhile, Leo seemed to be living at our terra. I do not know how the aline got on—he did not not seen to care; I suppose his house at Wymaring was lonely now that Mike was gone. Amy might have boen practicing for a circus, ao fre- quently and lengthened were her lessons. One evening matters reached a cli- max. George had ridden over to Cauning, and had not returned when Leo came iu. He asked at once where Atny was; and, when I told him she was out in the garden, he put on his hat again and turned toe'go, then came back, as if urged by a sudden impulse, and kissed me. "Wish me luck, little sister?" he said. I ala going to ask Arny to be my wife." The next moment he was gond. "Dolly Devay may write `yes' or 'No'—it makes no difference now," I said to myself, with a feeling of relief, and I went on musing and thinking about hien till the sound of a horse's hoofs outside roused me. Thinking it was George, I ran out at once, and found the postman in front of the house, with a letter for George from England. "I have one for your brother,too," said the man. "They told me at Vywaeing CIat ho was here, so I thought I might as well bring it on. Some people are in such. a hurry for a bit of news from the old country."' I thanked him, and, taking the letter, glanced at the address; it was written in a woman's hand, and 1 felt certain it was the reply I had been expecting so anxiously. What would happen if Leo received two promises on the same day I decided at once that he ought at least to read this letter before he said anything to Amy, so I blew as loudly as I could a whistle George had given me to call him with—I could never manage tho Australian "c000y," Leo came almost directly—he could nut have been far away. "'Phis is too bad, Mary V' he said "I ehonld not have come but 1 thought you must be attacked by bushrangers or have set the house on fire. You have just spoilt it." I did not answer him, but put the letter into his hand. He tore open the envelope, unfolded the paper inside, and glanced down it, his face flushed crimson and then turn- ing, deadly pale as he did so. "Good heavens !" he gasped; "Dolly is on her way out to marry me ? Oh, Mary, what can I do ?" What have you said to Amy ?" I asked, "Nothing. I was just about to ask her to be my wife, when I heard your whistle, and I carne at once. I was Rur'e something meet have hap poned ; but oh, Mary, I did not ex- pect this. "What a fool I have boon to think I could never love a girl snore than I did Dolly Devay ! Love! I did not know what love was !" and he began pacing to and fro ex- citedly. x-citedly. I could sec Arny conning towards the house to learn what was the matter, and motioned to her to keep away. She evidently thought we worn discussing a secret, as indeed we were, for she laughed and 'turn- ed back. "May I read the letter?" 1 asked. Leo was holding it crumpled up in his clenched haul], halt gave it to me at once. it was a sweet little letter. Dolly bad always loved him, she said, ever since she bad known him ; but, when he left E,nglana without. speaking, she was afraid his feeling towards her was only ono of Wm:A- ship ; she did loot kn"ow hots .ugly he had determiued•to make a home before asking her to be his •wife ; and so on=very prettily put in deed. Dolly concluded by Baying that she would arrive at Brisbane about a week after her letter. " There is only ono thing you can do, Leo," I said. " Yes, I know that," he answered, quite calmly, " and I will do it. But, oh, Mary, it is hard ,judgment ou my madness ! Good bye!' and, taking up hie hat, he went out to saddle his horse, and in a •few minutes was galloping towards Wymaring without having bidden Amy farewell. The poor girl, wheu--ehe came in a Hale later, seemed much surpris- ed to hear that he was gone ; but she was more surprised when four days went by and Leo neither came nor sent any message. She per- suaded George to ride over anti see if he was ill. Leo sent back that he was quite well, but very busy, and was just starting for Brisbane ; he also forwarded me a note at the same time, in which he said :— DEAR MARY. -1 have not asked you to accompany roe, as I want you to stay and prepare Amy for the news, I am afraid she loves me. Try to break it to her gently for the sake of your broken-hearted brother. Leo. That did not read well for a bridegroom going to inlet his bride, I thought, as I burnt the note. There was not much doubt about Amy's love. The little artifices with which she would lead me to talk of Leo wore charming and he trt•rending. I felt that I neve, could tell her that my beothcr would come back front Brisbane a married man, ' I warded off the evil moment as long as I could. Three days went by, and then I dared linger no longer I did not .know how soon Leo might return ; and, if Arny were not told, I felt that his coming back with his bride might kill her. On the evening of the third day I asked her to come for a stroll with me along the bridlepath where we had first met, so long ago, it seethed now. We walked along in sileuce, for I wee wondering how to begin my story ; and Aniy roust have been thinking of Leo, for when she spoke it was about him. " What was it you were talking about," she asked, "on the evening just before Leo went away so sud• donly 1" " It was a letter he had received from England," I answered, anti then, paused. Oh, what a taskleo had given me ! How could I per- form 111 " That is what has taken hint to Brisbane," I went on, wondering what I should say next. " The letter was sent by a young lady whotn we usedto know in England." I glanced at, Amy's face to sou how I was getting on, but she was, not listening to what I said. " Hark !" she exclairned, sudden- ly standing still ; " there is a horse galloping home ! Perhaps it is your brother." We were almost exactly at the same spot where Leo had heard her horse on the day we first saw her. The scene was strangely similar, though this time it was Amy who was with me. We both strained our ears to catch the sound. " cannot be Leo," I said ; "he will not come on here." But the next moment Leo him- self ali;ti• trod, galloping towards us to dl••. eve my statement. He sprang It, to his horse and greeted us quite ' uthusiastically,.evidently, in radian( spirits. I wondered what could h .va happened. •As long as Amy w,t, with us my anxious curios- ity could not be satisfied.. I was in a fever of impatience as we walked up to the house together, Loo leading his horse. As soon as we were indoors and he had gone to his room to change his dress after the journey, I hurri- ed after hits and knocked at his door. " Come in !" he said, cheerily. " What has happened ?" I inquir- ed, when I had shut the door be- hind me. Hasn't she come ?" "Oh, yes—she came all right!" " Leo, is elle dead ?" " Oh,. no," he answered ; not so bad as that ! She is only married?" " Married ?" " Yes ; are captain fell in love With her on tho way out. Now I remember, she al ways was n flirt." " And pray what did she say to you?"• " Oh, she was very frightened, and did not avant to see the , but I promised to forgive her if she would vow never 'to tell anybody about my letter." This promise Dolly Devay kept ; so Amy never know what had in- totrupted Leo's first proposal Id her till long after their marriage, when she heard the, whole story' from his own lips. AUNT ',PRETTY DESCRIBES THE KNAPI'SE$ QF CUSCOB. All the Kuappses set ev'lything by butteruegs. Ye pan's be, a Kuapp—course I iueau our branch o' the fam'ly—ye can't be one o' our Knappses au' not have that plant with its yeller blooms an' little, narrer, whity•green leaves for yer fav'rite: The Knappees allers held it so, au' they allers will hold it so, or they won't be Knappses. I do not remember just how Jane evaded this direct question, but her reply served the desired purpose, ..,.lea- ._tin,..,.,n.0 ...a ....t. rr{CIi....,AW.9 ;L.•.J and Aunt Loretty was soon started upon her wonderful story, "My father was Capin Zenas Kuapp, born right here in Coscob. He follered the sea; an's there waru't touch sea 'round here to fuller, ho moved down Stoniu'tou way, au' took ter whaliu'. An' bimeby he married a gal down there, S'liny Ann Beebe, an' ho lost sight aurun o' Coscob ail' the Knappses for a lung spell. But pa was a Knapp clear through 'f there ever was one ; the very-•Knappiest Kuapp, satospeak, o' the hull tribe, an' that's puttin' it strong 'nough. All their ways, all their doin'a, their likin's an' dislikiu'e, their taketos an' their4l•on't•taketoe, their goods au' their bads—he had 'em all hard. An' they had ways, the Knappses had, an' they've got 'em still, what's left o' the firmly, the waysiest ways ! Some folks ain't that kind, ye know ; they're jest like ether folks. if ye met 'ern 'way from hula ye wouldn't know where they Conte from or whose relations they was ; they might. be Peckees o' Horseneck. or Noyeses o'' Weeny, or Simsb'ry Phelpses ; or ag'iu they might be Smithses o' ary place, for all the family ways they'd got. But our'folks, the hull tribe 00 'em, was tarred with the same stick, 's ye plight say ; ye'd 'a' knowed 'eui for Knappses whore - ever they was—in Coscob, Stoniu'- ton, or Chiny. Frinstauce, for one thing, they was all Congr'ation'l in religion ; they allers had bon from the creation o' the airth, Some folks alight say `to that that there wa'n't no Conga'atiou'l neetin's is fur back's that. Well, I won't be too sot ; mebbe thorn wa'n't but 't' that's so, then there wa'n't uo Knappses ; there couldn't be Knappses an' no Congr'ation'liste. An' they all b'leeved in foreord'na- tion an' 'lection. They ,was made so. 'Ye didn't have to tarn it to 'em ; they got it, jeat 'a they got', teeth when 't was time; 'they took it jest is they took hoopiu'-cough .an' mumps when they was round. They 'didn't, ary one:On 'em, need the cat'chism to tarn "em 'bout 'Whereby for 's own glory He hath foreordained whats'- ever comes to pass,' nor to tell 'em 't 'He out o' Itis mere good pleas- ure from all eternity 'lected sotne to everlastin' life ;' they knowed it theirselves, the Knappees did. An' they stuck ter their b'leefs, and would 'a' stood up on the Saybrook platform an' ben burnt up for 'ern, like John Rogers in the cat'chistn, sayin', 'What though this carcass smart awhile, What though this life decay.' "An' they was all Whigs in politics. Thele wa'n't novel' a Knapp—our branch—who voted the Dem'cratic ticket. They took that loo ; no need for their pas to tell 'em ; jest '8 soon 's a boy got to be twonty-one, an"lection day come 'round, up he went and voted the Whig tick't, sayin' nothin' to nobody. Au' so 'twas in ov'ry- thing. They had ways o' their own. It conic iu ev'n down to readin' the Scripters. For ev'ry Knapp 't over I see p'ferred the Book o' Rev'lationa to ary other part o' the Bible. They liked it all, o' course, for they was a pious breed, au' knowed 't all Scriptoria give by inspiration, an's pr'of't'ble, an' so forth ; but for stiddy, ev'ry-day readin' give 'out Rov'lations. An' there was lots o' other little ways they had, too, such as strong opp'si- Lion to Baptists, an' dreffle dielikin'• to • furr'ners, and the greatest app'tito for old-fashioned, hum- medo, white oak cheese. Then they was all 'posed to swearin', an' didn't never use perfane language, none o' the Knappses ; but there was jest one sayin' they had when 'xcited or s'prised or anything, an' that was,'C'rinthiansl' They would say that, all on 'em, 'fore they died, one time or t'other. An' whey a Knapp said.it, it did sound like the awf'lest kind o' perfan'ty ; but o' course it wa'n't. An' 'fore an' over all, ev'ry" born soul on 'em took ter flowers an' gard'ns. They would have 'cm wherever they was. An' ev'rything they touched growed an' thriv' ; drotitis didn't dry 'em, wet didn't mould 'epi, bugs didn't eat 'Gin ; they come up and leafed out an' budded au' blowed for the poorest, needin'est Knapp 't lived, with only the teentiest bit of a back yard for 'em to grow in, or brok'n teapots an' crackt .pitchers to bold 'em. But they might have all the finest posies in tho land, roses an' heelyertropes an' verbony, an' horseshoe g'raniums, an' they'd swop 'CM all off, my Knapp world —oar branch --for ono single plant o' that blessed flower. How 't come about 's men I can say, or how Long ilii' hen goiu' ou ; from the very fuel, start •u' thiuge forting ; but 'tennerate ev'ry single Kuapp 1 ever see or heaard on held butter- neggs to, be, the beautif lest posy God ever'inade. "I can't go myself in my rec'1.-c- tion back o' rlty great-grau'motlier, but I r'nember her, though I was a speck .of a gal when she died. She was a Bissell o' Nor'field, dile State, but she married a Knapp, an' seemed to grow right inter Knapp ways ; au' she an' grau't'ther— great•gran'f'iher I wan, Shearjas- hub Knot p —they used ter have a big bed o' butternegs in front o' the side door, an' it made the hull yard look sunshiny even when the day was dark an' drizzly. There ain't nothin' shinin'er an' goldier than thein flowers with the different kinds u' yeller in rent ; they'll most freckle ye, they're so much like the sun shiniu'. Then the next gen'ra- tion come Gran'pa Knapp—his given name was Ezry—and he was bedrid• for woro'n six year. Au' be had butterueggs planted in boxes an' stood all 'round his bed, au' ho did take such comf't in 'am. The hull room was yeller with 'em, an' they gave hilt a sort o' bilionsy, jauderey look ; but he did set so 'eni ; an' the very last growin' thing the good old man ever set eyei+ on here blow, afore he tree the green fields beyond the swellin' Hood, was them bright an' shiuin' butterueggs. An' his sister Hopey, she 't married Enoch Ambler o' Greens Farris, I uever shall forgit her butterueggs border, 't run all 'round her gard'n ; the pea-green leaves au' yeller an' salfrony blooms looked for all the world like, oiled sparrergrars with chopped -egg sarce "There's ,jest nue thing more 1 must put in, ant' that's how the Knappses gou'lly died. 'Twas eeuamost allers o' dum'aigger. That's what they called it theta days ; I s'pose 'twould be inalairy now; but thatwe'u't invented then, •an' wo had to git along is well 's we could without sech lux'ries. The Kappses was long-lived—called threescore 'n ten bein' cut off in the midst o' your days—but when they did cone ter die 'twas most gou'lly o' dum'aigger. But even bout that they had their own ways; au' when a Knapp—our branch I would say— got dum'aigger, why, 'twits dummer an' aiggerer'n other folkses dum'- aigger, an' so 't got the name o' the Knapp•sirakes. An' they all seem- ed to use the same rem'dies an' physics fur the .c'mplaint. They wa'n't much , for doctors, but they all b'leeved in yarbs au' hum•mado steeper an' teas. An' 'thous any 'dvice or doctor's receipts or any- thing 's soon 's they felt the creepy, goose-fleshv, shiv'ry feelin' that meant dum'aigger, with their heads het up an' their feet 'most froze, they'd jest put sono cain'mile an' hardback to steep, an' sew a strip o' red flann'l round their neck, au' put a peppergrass poultice to the soles u' their feet, an' go to bed; an' there they'd lay, driukiu' their carn'milo au' hardhack, strong au' hot, an' allers with their head on a hard, thin pilfer, till all was over, an' they was in a land where there's no dum'aigger nor any kinder sick- ness 't alt. Gran'Cther died o' dum'aigger ; great - gran'f'ther died on it—had it six year ; Aunt Ilopey Ambler, great aunt Cynthy, • an' second-cous'n Shadrach all went off that way. An' pa—well, he didn't do so ; but that's part o' my sister's story. " 11 t, site was a Bcebe,'s I said afore, but she might 'a'bon-' • most anything else, for there wa'n't any strong Beobo ways to her. Her mother was a Palmer—'most Wry - body's mother is, down Stouin'ton way, ye know—au' ala was's much Palmer 's Belibe, au' she was more Thayer than ary one ou'eln (her gran'mother ivas a Thayer). So 't stands to r•eas'y that when we child'en come 'long we was more Knapp than Beebe. There was two on Us, twins an' gals, me an' my sister ; au' thoy.uaned us arter pa's twin sisters 't died years afore, Coretty an Loretty, an, I'm Loretty. —From "Butternegga: A 'Story of Heredity," by ANNIE TURNBULL Sr.ossoN, in Harper's .Magazine for October.
