Ik By AUGUSTA LARITLD. ICopyrlslit. ItSC, by American I’roa AmocU tlon.l CHAPTER L la a moment Sluter Martini wot In the room. The station hack stopped at Miss May- hew's door, thereby causing a state of flutter and agitation in the breast of Miss Mayhew truly pathetic to contem plate. The idea of company was always present to this lonely lady as a sweet, sympathetic longing, but the reality brought with it undisguised dismay. Now she clasped her pale, chilly lin gers together an<J leaned forward in her invalid chair, craning her neck from be hind (he curtain, as a small, black, shiny trunk was taken off from the buck of the carriage, and a short, stout wom an in gray traveling dress, with a large straw hat tied down over her ears, mak ing a rather aggressive poke in front, stepped briskly oat of the carriage and pointing her parasol with a businesslike air directed the driver to take in her ing- gage. Miss Mayhew gave a faint groan as the fell back among her cushions with an air of passive Injury. The evil was upon her, and she had been warned and had not heeded the warning. Events with Misa Mayhew generally cast their shadows before, ami site learned the full meaning of the "signs” after they had come to pass. That very night Miss Mayhew had dreamed of a ship in full sail, which always betokened misfortune, and now Sister Martha had arrived bag and baggage, and she felt grieved (hat the presentiment had not weighed with greater force upon her mind. Sister Martha was not own kin to Miss Mayhew, only sister-in-law, having mar ried her half brother. She was a woman thought to be rather hard ou her “help,” but au excellent manager and shrewd In affairs. She owned a large farm in another part of the county and man aged to make a good income out of it even in years of drought and of short crops. Her habit was to command. It was said that sister Martha rode around her place on horseback man fashion, and that nothing ever escaped her lynx eyes. Two of her hired men had come down with typhoid fever one fall after being driven nearly to death through harvest time, and she had parsed them like a mother. One of the men died and she hail a nice tombstone put up to bis mem ory iu the graveyard. If as folks said “Marthy Whiteuinb, the Widder Whit comb, druv folks to death she still had aome kind of a heart in her bosom.” Now Miss Mayhew, when she heard Martha Whitcumb enter her front hall like a strong northeaster, shivered, turned paler, if it were possible, and shrank into Iter shawls and wraps in which she was enveloped like a butter fly iq its chrysalis. She was afraid of Sister Marths; not afraid of bodily in jury from her hands, but of harsh judg ments and hard eya beams and skepti cal looks in return for her accustomed plaintiveness over the facts of life. In a moment Sister Martha was in the room, and Miss Mayhew's face had gone into eclipse under the pflke and her deli cate cheek was rubbed against Mrs. Whitcumb's bristles. Miss Mayhew had a shrinking from the hairiness of her sister-in-law's lip that was quite pa thetic- It was s terrible trial to tnia nervous invalid to kiss Sister Martha, and site never did if she could help it, merely allowing that .energetic woman to rub her brush against her sensitive skin There was s frightfnl frankness about Bister Martha that Misa Mayhew dreaded like a cold douche. Now the first words the ottered were characteristic; “1 know yon ain't glad to see me, Vinie, 1 didn’t expect you would be, and Ann Haskett will be mad enough to tear her hair because I've come. But harvest Was over, 'twixt corn and pig killing, yon know, and i could get away as well as not, so l took a notion to come. We don’t always know what’s good for us, Vinie, and l thought a sport of company might liven you up a bit And as for Ann, Pre brought W a linsey woolsey piece tor a petticoat. 80 I guess she won’t liteme.” Miss Mayhew palled hereelf together and looked at her sister-in-law with wa tery eyes She made no direct response to this candid speech, nor was 'any ex pected from her. “1 s’pose yon’re hun gry," she said anxiously. “Onr dinner’s p**r a>‘d Aim has washed the dishes.

Don’t yon bother your head about me, Vinie.' Miss Mayhew heaved a sigh of relief. “Yon can go right np chamber, Marthy Yon know the spare room, of Bourse, and its ail ready except alrin and fresh water." Mrs. Whitcomb took her bag, a shawl and umbrella, stepped oat of the room and closed the door behind her. Misa Mayhew was quivering from this rude aentaet of her delicate being with force, in the form of her sister-in-laiv. Every nerve in her bedv, ss she expressed it. “was off the hooks, each jumping its own way.” Bat her sense of bearing waa more acute than ever. Bines she ban been tied to her easy ebair in ber pleas ant, old fashioned sitting roout,*he bad lived mainly through the earn. There woe a rod spot ou sillier thin cheek now, M she listened to sister Martha's heavy step and the receding croak of her boots. Mm, Whitcumb did not go up the < front chamber, hut without walked into Ann Baeketfs kitchen “to talk me over," thought Mist Mayhew. aad she was angry amt tana, for her sister-in-law had not »d tojhe state of her .health nor asked • , tioipaliou. Mrs. Whitcumb *top|**l on to Ann’s kitchen now. ami opened the'door with more gentleness and consideration than she had shown to her sister-in-law Ann was a person to be conciliated, while Vinie Mayhew was of but secondary im portance in the household. Ann was standing before her kitchen table scoured to the whiteness of chalk. She was of middle height, a spare, bony- angular person, with prominent shoul der blades, sharp elbows, lean brown | arms and large knotted wrists and hands. Her hair was iron gray, smooth ly brushed back from a narrow fore head, etched with hard straight linos as if done with the point of an iron instru ment Her blue print dress and white apron were spotlessly clean, and the thick white cotton stockings showed above her low shoes. Ann Baskett had little eyes, like gray pebbles, unde apart, and her thin Ups were generally puck ered close as if unwilling to let out the hoard of important secrets that lay just behind them. Ann claimed the supreme merit of minding her own business and of ruling her own domain with a rod of iron that brooked no power behind the throne— the summer kitchen, the winter kitch en, the cellar, woodshed, garden and orchard. Over the remainder of the house she claimed only to exercise the rights of suzerainty and partial con trol It was baxbarian territory to be tidied daily and swept every week, but still outside her absolute sway. In one respect it was an advantage to Ann that she served an invalid mis tress; there was no “snooping' 1 around in her kitchen and asking of vain and irrelevant questions, Ann was making enp cake, studded with large raisins, and to be baked iu little tin patty pans. There was a clear fire in the stove, and tire butter and sugar, flour and eggs were all ranged on the spotless table. From a side window in ber palace Queen Ann had seen Mrs. Martha Whitcumb arrive; had seen Jo Spaulding, the hack- man, bring in Mrs. Whitcumb'* trunk and deposit it in the hall. Ann had not taken her hands sway from the cake, for she was a person to be sought, not to seek; besides, she was not in the best of humor. Ann divided all Miss Mayhew's vis itors into “satchel folks” and “trnnk folks.” The satchel folks she did not mind so much. They only staid one night, or at longest two, and when they were Veil out of the house Ann could easily slip the company sheets and pil low cases off the bed and press them over with a hot iron, and nobody would be the wiser. But trunk folks meant an extra bout of washing and cooking and cleaning, and Ann. who was a” method ical soul, objected to them as a painful element of dislocation in her daily life Mrs. Martha was notoriously trunk folks She never staid under a week and Ann had reason to dread her pres ence iu the house as a person who was masterful enough to dispute sway with her, even on tier own domain Ann's back therefore was aggressive when Sister Martha ’entered the sunny kitchen. But Mrs. Martha was much more conciliatory toward the maid than she ever was toward the mistress, and at times even condescended to flattery “Well. Ann.” said she, bustling in, “I never did see anything stand wear like this yellow paint ou your flixtr. It looks clean enough to eat off And that stove! why, yon can just see your face in it What kind of polish do yon use? I should just like to get some of that kind.” “Elbows.” said Ann grimly, who knew soft sawder as well as the next one. She had not us yet condescended to turn around, and was just now spooning out the rich yellow paste into the patty pans.

What does fhe do, Ann. there all day long by the settin room window?” “She likes to sec the folks go by. and to nod and smile to the school children She knows all them little ones by sight even if she don't ketch their names And when one of them is sick and kep home from school seems ss if the very witches told her. Then I bev to poet ofl with some jam or jelly to black diaired Mary or yeller haired Jim, and to say as how Miss Mayhew sent me, and hopes the jelly will help him to swallow the doctor's nasty stuff.

She keeps bolts of that narrer kind in ber work basket to tie her little bokays And this year post she's took to crochcttin and knittin baby things—little caps and socks and sacks and baby blankets She's fitted most every baby in town, and while she's doin of 'em seems at if she jest dotes She'll hold the little socks on her band a half honr together, them bine and pink ones, and look kind of smilin as if she was seem somethin that wasn't there Now she's makin a white blanket, and workin in rosebuds all ovei it, and she's real happy look in when she s absorbed in that work I’ve toll I hei she might sell them things for a hand some little sum, but she alius shakes hei head. If she couldn't give 'em away it wouldn’t do her a mite of good. Yon see it don’t cost her anything for ctotlms and she , pats that money ehe saves in wool and ribbins for the babies.” “Is the cap'n at home now?” asked Mrs. Martha suddenly, as she ceased sucking the core of the pear “Yes; he’s at home. Don't you see the smoke goin np from his kitchen chimbly? Got shipwrecked last r'yage off the Banks and come home with nothin bnt the clothes he was n-standin in, a demijohn of old brandy and his Testament But it didn't mutter much to him so long as be come off with his life,” continued Aim, as she squatted down by her shining stove to see how the little cakes were browning in the patty pans. “The cap'll is pretty well fixed as to atrthly goods. He's got more property now than ho knows what to do with, and him not a chick or child oi any near kin.” “Does he' ever go past this house?' asked Mrs. Whitcumb refiectively. “1 guess he does,” - said Ann with de cision. “He ain't the man to go an inch out of his way for nobody.” “And does she see him Ann settin there at her window?” “1 gness she does Mrs. Whitcumb, or she hears him every time, even w'«en •he’s in bed with the cuttings drawed.' few yellow cards and one or two of Mias Mayhew's girlish valentines. There was also a highly embellished “keepsake” of the year 1850, and the family Bible heav ily gilt and looking new and as if never opened. It was spotlessly clean, for Ann swept and dusted the room every fortnight, pinning back the lace cur tains and covering all the furniture. Mrs. Whitcumb gazed around with the feeling natural to her economical soul that much good material waa going to waste. Behind the parlor was an am ple dining room furnished in the same tasteless style. She remembered the Thanksgivings and merry-makings of mother Mayhew's time, but after a mo ment's consideration she stepped to the kitchen door and said to Ann; “If folks call to see me 1 wish you would show them into the parlor." Ann fairly gasped. It was more than ten years since “folks” hail sat famil iarly in that room. [TO BB CONTICUED.] Two machines in one; chain stitch; lockstitch; "Domestic" loo per.

The allusion to the trunk was p gentle hint that Mrs. Whitcumb de sired Ann to help her convey [he shiny black box up to her room. Ann had sworn off against carrying trunks or blacking visitors' boots. The latter offensive articles when put outside the chamber door were allowed tq remain there indefinitely unnoticed by the kitchen divinity. Bnt Mrs. Whitcumb's flatteries had produced a certain soften ing about the edges, and now as she took the cakes out of thp oven she raid, not ungraciously; "I’ll help you up with your trunk.
