T P4 1P Y ROOMs "Love in a cottage, stuff and non sense," said Mrs. Meredith, in the curt petulant tone whicfi denoted years of grinding poverty, petty annoya'rIces, and blighting cares. "Mar; think you Oitghtt6know better." "But, ='aunt Folly why shouldn't people love one another as well in a kitchen -as a palace?" pleaded Mary Meredith, a bright-eyed girl of nineteen who was plaiting up a new trmming for the old cashmere dress which had already been urned" twice. "They don't," drily retorted aunt Polly. "That's all I know about it.' "When -poverty cornea in at the door, love ilies out of the window." ,"Then it oan't be real love," said Miry, very decidedly. "I know that'I should be happy with Charley anywhere, even if we hadn't a carpet to. the-floor, or a curtain to the window." "Fiddle-de-dee," said Mrs. Mere di&h. "That'g all you know al6ut it. That's just exactly what I thought when I married your uncle Cyril. "Folks say that, old Benaiah Meredith was a ridi miser,-snd that sooner or later, your uncle Cyril would inherit all his property." "So he did, such as it was-this old tumbled-down house, half-a dozen or so of sterile acres, and the 'Genealogical Family Tree' mounted! on -parchmient and em blazoned in different colors." "But I didn't think of that. I was a foolish school-girl in love and, .like all the rest of them, I married in haste and repentsd at leisure." "And here I am, at forty, a broken down old woman, with your uncle Cyril helpless and bedridden upstairs.' "To me he i's a care and aburden.t -To him I am a slave."4 There, do you hear his cane rap ping on the floor upstairs?" "That is a signal for me todrop4 everything and hurry to him at once." "Get married, Mary; do, if you want to enter into just such wretch .ed slavery, at once." Mary Meredith was silent. Aunt Polly had never spoken her mind quite so plainly before. Was it then true that aunt Polly htadonce been-a.rosy, dimpled young thing like herself, with a heart full of vague anticipations, a soul half . - nfolded like the convolvulus buds? Would life treat her with thej samne unrelenting cruelty? rWoald Charley Frankhlive sbdveL intog snmarlinrgoldfbundle imediate action. was needed; and it rould not be wise to wait for special7 Le lature.

Theh of' the old books to be sold, aunt Polly," remonstrated Mary Mere dith. "Your uncle. Cyril never wants : anything to be touched," sharply retorted Mrs. Meredith. "He'd. let the old trash of the house accamulate half-ceiling high, if he had his way." "And as for those battered old 1 'Hvllin's Histories,'. he never has so niuch as taken them off the shelf4 since old uncle Benaiali died." . "And I mean- to turn them into money, to- buy good stout yarn for his winter stockings." - "Are the -white rags ready; Mary? Then call to Abe Seeley while I go. iter the-books. Aid Mary stood ' by, scarcely i disapproving, yet powerless to re monstrate, while the mildewed old volumes of 'Rollin's Ancient His tory' were sold at three cents. z "It's a shame," said'she, "to sell. those books for -such a sum as I that,' "'d like to know what possible t use they can' be to us," said Mrs. i Meredith tartly "Books is books," said Abe See- - ley, a philosophical individual with a leathery complexion and only ] >ne leg. f "But, to be sur, lks prefers poetry and romances no*adays." i "They ain't just partial to ancipnt t istory, as far as my experf':ce goes. "Fifty dollars, that there last lot, f Mrs. Meredith."I. "And three-quarters," cried Mrs. Meredith. .. 1 "Three-quarters at the very least; t AbramSeeley." "Call it fifty-dollars," said the i me-legged intinerant. "It's the covers of the books as I weighs heavy, Mrs. Meredith, and e ;hat's where the paper mills don't tllow. anything." s "You're cheating me," said the r ady severely." "I'm cheating myself, Mrs. Mere- 3 lith," said Abe Seeley fervently. lb "Land of gracious ! there's days is I don't'fairly make my ex- u .enses." . li This was in :the sultry glow of b lie September noontide. At sunset, the rag-wagon stopped ii ilongside .of deacon Frauklin1s old s nill, where Charley, the deaci's 'Idest son, in his broad straw -hat y mad working-costume, was drawing g i bucketful. of cold sparkling water. o "Never was a mortal so thirsty n all my life," said Abe Seeley, h ma he reached out for tile gourd "Well, Charley Franklin have tl ron finished that there course of n livinity lectures yet?" "What's that fou've got in'youir !agon, Abram?" said young Frank- a in. Books? "I didn't know you c: Lealt in genera! literature."

"Is the set complete?" o "Every blessed volume," nodded he rag vender. "Don't ye want -to rade for them,Charley Franklin, I'l 14 iell 'em to you cheap." 0 Young Franklin was a book-lover E -he glanced longingly at the an- E ~ient covers, n "What do you call cheap?" said P e. I And then and there began a diplo- ta natic coarse of bargaining, from ti rhich Bismarck himself might have a rofited. .l Charley FrankUn, being tho- ' oughly in -earnest,- was at -a disads rantage' howeirer, and although he ecured the coveted literary treas ire, he still felt that he had been ~bested. While Abram Seeley wenft re oicing on his way, muttering to ~imselft "'That wasn't such a pooribargain; :Xend iassad dolhral Ohi. !I naeir tii Iimsd doIrat ~ j cried Mary Meredith, in accents' incredulous delight. "You are ri Charley. You can go on with yo1 divinity lectures now, and we ci be married whenever we please." "Doesn't it seem exac ly like fairy tale?" said Franklin, with smile.- "To think- that I rem through four of the battered el volumes before I came to the or in which the ten thousand dollai were neatly Sattened out betwee the leaves, touched with the lea possible speck of gum arabic, at tb rour corners, to prevent-them froi ralling out. "What; " cried aunt Polly. "Te housand- dollars? What on eart re you talking about, Charle E ranklin?" "About some old volumes that ought last September-just befor our husband died you know-on f a rag wagon," exclaimed Charli ranklin "I got-them at a bargain, for the ere real antiquities in their wty ind I'm trying to get a little classi al library together, by degreei nd, gummed between the leaves o olume five, I found these old bank otes." Mrs Meredith started, then grei iternatelyred and.pale. "You-you didn't - tell -us th ame of the -book," she gasped, in tinctvely putting her hand up t er throat. "Didn't I?" said Charley. bought of course I had mentione< "It was hstory-'Rollin's An ient History." Mrs. Meredith gave a grasp a Iary's arm to keep herself from ailing. "Mary !" she ejaculated. "Mary tbwas the very pile of old book hat I sold myself-uncle Benaialf, ooks. . "It was uncle Benhiab's ordec artune that I fung into the rai ragon that day." "What does it matter, aunt Pol y," said Mary, "if it comes badl a the original owner again?" "Of course, it is yours, Charlej ill restore it to you at once." "Of course I shall, young Frank is declared, when matters had beei xplained to him." "Do you think I could for an in tant retain money which was no ightfully my own?" "But it is yours," .said Mrs [eredith, recovering herself. "Youri y bona fide purchase and sale.". "Let it go.

And so the young people tooli er at her word, and were happy.

And after life, day of drudgery ad disappointment' the sunset ii Losing brightly down upon auni oily's heart. For Mary, her darling, is hap. And in the reflected sunshinei [sry's brow, aunt Polly finds'li wn well-spring of peace.
