And as for socking a situation,” ho contin ued with a thump upon tho table, “don’t over let me near you mention it again. Hiram Lester is too proud to have bis daughter to work for a livoli. hood.” "Then ho ought to bo too proud to soo his daughter go dressed worse than any scullion,” was tho retort that rush ed to Huldah's lips. As ho left the room she gave vent to a shower of tears. • “It is too bad,” she sobbed; "nay it is shameful to treat me thus. If he were poor I should not mind it; but he is so rich that be counts his money by the thousands. He gave me a good education, because a Lesicr must not bo allowed to grow up ignorant, but he is not willing that I should apply i^ to any practical use. I could teach i» ho would let mo find a school, or I might give music lessons, provided I could find tho scholars. But no, I mast stay at home and k$ep his accounts, and cook his victuals, and receive— what do I receive?” with an abrupt pause, "for my labor? Ha, ha,” with a bitter laugh, "the food I oat and the clothes a gypsy would sneer at I shall bear it no longer; a reformation takes place, and at onco. Father’s pride shall be humbled, and 1 shall have a becoming costume without its costing him a farthing.” Tying on her old sun hat she went down the street in tho direction of the only grand mansion in the village. It belonged to a bachelor, Robert Ranger, who became possessed of it by the death of an uncle. As yet he had not seen tho property, but was expected daily from California where he had been sojourning for tho past year. With firm steps Huldah pressed on ward till sho reached the place, a state ly pile of grey granite, over which the Virginia creeper clambered, the well- kept grounds dotted with shrabbory. She went directly to sec the house keeper, with whom sho was well ac quainted. Mrs. Madison heard her proposition with surprise. “It is astounding,” she exclaimed, with uplifted hands. "The daughter of tho second richest man in the place in quest of work!” “Yes; I’ll admit that,” smiled the applicant; “but nevertheless it is true. I want clothes to make myself present able at church and in the street, Fa ther, who has no intention of being mi serly, but who has nd knowledge of a woman’s wants, will not get them for me; so I mast earn them myself. Yon want a girl to help clean honse and get it in readiness for Mr.Ranger’s arrival. I solicit tho situation.” And when Huldah bade the -house keeper good-by, it was with the under standing that sho should begin her work iu the morning. “ And very good it is for yon, my dear,” said the kind old to wend her way thither. But, stran gling all such desire,' she set down her pail and energetically commenced her work. With her sleeves rolled up above her olbosvs, displaying to advantage her round white arms, and singing a love- ditty*at the top of her voice, she scrub bed vigorously away; and there in the doorway, a gleam of mischief visible in his dreamy brown eyes, stood a well- made muscular young man of eight- and-twenty, in Panama hat and linen duster, who had just come up the ter raced walk, and paused to drink in the music of the girl’s voice. Who was she? By all that was good and great, who was this girl with the lambent grey eyes, the glossy dark I hair that strayed over her sunburnt face, and the dimpled arms so white and shapely, that wielded — good Heavens! it could not bo a scrubb bruflh? He stepped forward to see if ho was not mistaken , and at that instant Hnl- dah became aware of his proximity. The blood rushed to her face; she dropped her brush but was eminently self-possessed as she raised herself from her knees aud said: "Thlais Mr. Ranger, 1 believe? Walk into the sitting room here, at your right, and I will call the housekeeper. You were not expected to-day and house-cleaning is going on.” Ho started to obey, bat, alas! the boar4s were wet aqd slippery, and he had jds£ taken two steps when, to his mortjfiodtion and Hula ah's consterna tion, his hcel^ Wept up and ho went down, and be, lay, with his elo- gsnt figurh stretched at full-length on tho floor, / Huldair bent soUcltously above him. "I—I am afraid -you are hurt, sir,” she said. "Nay, not hurt,” with a strong Incli nation to-laugh, *‘bnt,” pleadingly lift ing those dreamy brown eyes to her attractive face, "how am I to get up? Can’t you—won’t you just reach mo your hand?” And Huldah, in good faith, believing it was necessary to render him assist* ance, held out her small wot hand, and clasping it more firmly than there was any need, the tall, handsome fellow was instantly on his feet "Many thanks,” ho said warmly, watching tho color come in her cheeks. "That was an awkward fall Will you tell me to whom I am indebted for once more standing on my feet?" "To a girl your housekeeper hired to help clean house," stio replied demure* ly, as she ran away to toll Mrs. Madi son of his presence, and beg that she would not reveal her name. All of Robert Ranger’s carefully ar ranged queries concerning "that hand some girl with the white arms and the melodious voice” failed to elicit the re quired information. As Huldah went to her homo that night, a telegram having come an nouncing her father’s return on the morrow, Robert Ranger conld gain no trace of her whereabouts. But he did not intend that the only girl in whom ho was ever Interested should slip thus suddenly out of his lifei Even though he had found her doing work of the most menial description, he had recognized in her a perfect lady. But for a time all quest was unavail ing, and he had given up all hope of ever seeing her again, when one morn ing upon ringing the door bell at the residence of Mr. Lester, with whom' he had business to transact, she answered tho summons. Very ladylike and more than pretty sho looked, attired in a dress of soft gray fabric, shot throngh with roseate tints, purchased with the very money she had earned of his housekeeper, her grey eyes shining, and her dark hair simply caught up in a knot at the back of her head. He held out his hand. The dreamy look left his brown eyes. I have found you at last,” he cried joyfully. "What made you disappear so mysteriously?" "I had finished my work at your ! dace,” she said roguishly, letting her ong lashes droop over her eyes to hide then: mischievous sparkle. *T am now in tho employ of Mr. Lester. Ho was expecting you on business to-day. Walk In, sir;” and she ushered him int to a small room where Mr. Lester sat examining a yellowish document which .ho held in his hand. "Father, here is Mr. Ranger," she said. And then, as the gentleman’s eyes opened wide with surprise, she left the room. Ere long Robert called again at the cottage. Indeed, as the days sped by, he seqmed to have a great deal of busL ere, judging from the frequency describably ludicrous. One moment be simpers shamefully at his fellow sufferers who pass him in their march, and another glares savagely ae if epoil- ing for a fight But aU the time he is looking anxiously at his watch, nntil s half hour has passed slowly awsy, when he steals hastily back to nls door, knocks and enters, where necessity compels ns to leave him.

A groom, bigger and madder than the average, had hardly re-entered his nuptial chamber when reappeared with direst alarm and ho J. L. i BOWLES & C02isSFWW“ consternation depicted upon his coun tenance- His room was the end one in tho hall, and my face tho first to meet his agonized face. "Are you one of the hotel men?” ho gasped. "I am sir” I replied, with that innate truthfulness that characterizes tho de scendants of George Washington. “Woll, sir, my wife has gone, sir, aud I'll 4ave her, sir, if I search every room in your cursed old shanty.” • da vain I sought to console tho agitated youth and to check THE CUBKENT OF PEOFAJOTT that coursed with Niagara’s own rush and roar from his trembling lips. In vain I assured him that it was not customary with wives to run away so early in the marital life, and that there was not a case on record of one’s quit ting her bed and board before the ex piration of the honeymoon. It was useless—ho would not be comforted— till finally purely out of the philanthropy of an unselfish heart, I suggested that he let me assist him in examining the room for traces of the missing bride. He at onco assented and throw open the door. I entered with noiseless reverence. No human being bat ourselves was visible. In tho corner, piled npon a chair, were the ordinary articles of a woman's apparel, tho smaller and more mysterious garments hidden under the larger. In the bed was a mock front, composed of a pillow and a flannel skirt, which the wrath of THE ALARMED HUSBAND had ruthlessly and immodestly exposed. I took tho situation at a glance. There* was evidently nothing under the bed— that is, nothing of any consequence— for it came too near the floor. There were no closets in the room, no other doors, and nothing behind which one could hide. There was, however, what the French call a buffet, with shelves at the top and folding-doors at the bottom. I gauged tho thing In my mind’a eye, and concluded there was just room enough for a flexible little woman with out much clothing to squeeze in there. All this was but the work of an instant’s observation, and then I spoke with my mouth sharply: "Young man you have made a fool of yourself. Go to the sideboard and lick her.” Without waitin blushes behind the buffet with a bound, and there, nestled amid a elond of fleecy white, was tho prettiest‘‘'tittle rosebud of a face that ever gleamed out of lace and linen. that when their possessor was in love they tingled with an affectionate intox ication. ’ It Is said that very qniet eyes that impress and embarrass one with their repose signify self-command, and also mnch complacency and some conceit. Restless eyes that cannot look one steadilv in the face denote a deceitful, designing mind. Eyes in which the white has a yellowish tinge and is streaked with reddish veins, prove much of strong passion and hasty tem per. Very bine eyes bespeak a mind inclined to ooouetry; grey eyes signify dignity, intelligence and excellent reasoning faculties; greenish eyes, falsehood and a fondness for scandal. A malicious mind is often indicated by greenish eyes. Black eyes show a pas sionate, lively temperament, and often times a most deceitful dlspoeition: brown eyes are generally tender and true, indicating a kind and happy dis position. Of tho nose. A Roman nose denotes an enterprising, business-like charac ter; a long nose Is a sign of good sense; a perfectly straight nose uxUnafes a pare and noble soul, unless the eye contradicts it; a nez retrousse signifies a spirit of mischief, wit and dash; a large note generally indicates large mind and good nature, but lack of energy. Thick lips generally moan eiuier great f jenius or great stupidity; very thin ips, cruelty, avariciousnees, and if the lips are habitually compressed, false hood. Dimples on the cheek are known as tho. abodes of roguery, and in the chin of Cupid and his pranks.
