By EVELYN LEE
"It's a shame," mourned and scolded
Miss Isabella Dunn to her sister,
! Mrs. Liscomb. "Here I have arranged
i to pass a last day and night with the
closest friend I have in the world, Efi
tie Worrell, who is eoine to California.
and my maid, that worthless Nora,
ran off and got married and lias left me
in the lurch."
"How romantic," animatedly commented
r>rusilla Lisoomb. the youngest
of the family of four girls. "Oh.
Aunty, dear, tell us all about it!"
"What nonsense." cried Miss Dunn.
"Martha, do you bring up your children
with such ridiculous notions? No.
I'll not tell you that lot of sentimental
rubbish. I'm too wrought up over the
predicament in which this has placed
me. I have no one to take care of the
house while I'm gone and I can't lock
it up. There's the two gentlemen in
j the bank and Mrs. Morse, who is an
l Invalid, and a new lodger, a Mr. Al;
ling. Only yesterday he leased the
i front suite and I promised to have it
I in living shape for him by this evej
ning. Can't you help me out, Mar!
tha?"
I "Why, the three older girls are
| awajt" explained Mrs. Liscomb.
"But I'a! here," burst in Drusilla.
! "Oh, mother! aunty! I'd be more than
' glad to take the place of this delightful.
runaway girl and keep affairs in
order uutil you come back."
Drusilla was the youngest of the
Liscomb brood and her aunt considered
that the frail, delicate slip of a girl
was hardly adapted to take charge of
i a great ten-room house over night.
She clutched at the passing straw,
however,
"If von will bpln m* out: Drusilla."
she said, "I'll make you a present of
that pretty silk gown of mine you
have always coveted.""Oh,
mother! let me go, please!"
pleaded Drusilla.
Reluctantly Mrs. LIscomb agreed to
I the arrangement. Drusilla made up a
| parcel of cap, house slippers and
; aprons and was soon on her way to
the house of her spinster relative.
I Aunt IsaDella was to take a train two
! hours later. ?
"Mrs. Morse takes entire care of her
own apartment and the two bank
! lodgers are quiet, systematic old gentlemen."
explained Aunt Isabella. "All
you have te do is to air thapfooms.
The star boarder, Mr. Ailing^ is what
worries me. I arranged that he should
have breakfast and tea and Nora has
left the kitchen looking like a barn."
"1*11 brighten up all that, Aunty,"
pledged Drusilla.
"You are a little jewel, dear. If my
three other nieces were like you,
i learning to be useful instead of thinking
only of frivolity and society, and
1 flirting and looking for husbands, sister
Martha would probably be more
satisfied."
So Aunt Isabella went her way and
Drusilla was placed in charge of her
home. She was introduced to Mrs.
Morse and looked about the house,
i Her quick housekeeping eye speedily
discerned that there was some hard
work to do. The kitchen was indeed
In confusion. Drusilla began at that
point: Then she swept and dusted the
other rooms. Those apportioned to
Mr. Ailing were in entire disorder. By
noon she had them looking like a palace
and then for two hours she worked
at getting supper ready for the star
; boarder.
Her face was grimed, her hands
snowy with flour as there was a ring
at the door bell. She stood on the
threshold abashed as there confronted
her a smiling, brisk mannered,
: good looking young man.
"I am Mr. Ailing," he said. "I think
1 can find my rooms. Miss Dunn showed
them to me yesterday. By the way,
I am hungry as a bear, and lunch, or
dinner, or supper would be very acceptable
to me."
J Drusilla's face was one vast blush.
' she discerned that she was mistaken
) for the maid, although the star boarder
bestowed a marked glance of admiration
upon her. He praised her
cooking to the last morsel as he came
down to the dining room. He seemed
glad to converse with Drusilla and
treated her with a respect that somehow
ameliorated her false position.
It was after the two hank lodgers
had arrived and had pone to their
rooms that Drusilla took a fancy to
look up the dress her aunt had promised
her. Then she was tempted to
put it on and rearhtnge her hair and
i make herself naturally charming. The
temptation came to go down tt> the
parlor and survey herself full lenjfth
In Aupt Isaltella's old-fashioned glass.
She tripped into the room and paused,
abashed. With applauding eyes she
was confronted by Mr. Ailing.
"What a beautiful gown." he spoke,
"and how it becomes you!"
"It is not mine. It belongs to my
Aunt Miss Dunn," flustered DrnslUa.
"Oh, you are her niece, and not the
maid? Shall I say Cinderella transformed?"
and he laughed, and Drusll!
la joined in the merriment and Mrs.
I Morse, appearing, acted the pleasing
i chaperon for a very agreeable ere|
ningi
The star hoarder was revealed as a
j man of independent means a little
later on, and later on, too, as an arl
dent lover and prospective husband.
"Some day put on the Cinderella
garb ani have a picture taken to tretr
in my watch case nearest to my
hearf" he pleaded.
