spectacles yet poised on nose The November wind was howling dismally through the of the huge old sycamore trees which over hung the chimneys and the first of the season were beginning to flutter mistily through the air Alice Cfevc had just come from the with a letter from her married sister Farmer daugh ter by his first wife who had mar ried a lawyer and gone to lire in the city years ago and was nearly old enough to be the mother of the blueeyed Alice Oh let her go said Mia the second who stood in a tort of admiring awe of her wealthy and aristocratic stepdaughter Mr looked up Only think ofij father a winter in the city and the child has never been away in all her days Little Alice crept closer to fathers side with eyes aglow lips wreathed in radiant smiles Papa may gor Do you want to leave your father puss Papa no It isnt that know with a reproachful hug kiss but should so like to Marian and see the great The father shook his head looked thoughtful Not so beautiful place may it child but I dont know but that I should have felt the same at your age there aint no putting old heads on young shoulders and I dont think I should like the arrange ment if there was How much do you want to fit the child out mother Will one hundred dollars do One hundred dollars I Alice clasped her hands in breath less surprise and delight at her fathers liberality Oh papa I shall be dressed like a queen But in spite of all her raptures at the prospect of a city campaign Alice cried heartily when she parted from her father not forget us puss Papa I dont want to go no sobbed Alice Dont cry child Let me return home with you father she pleaded nonsense cried the farmer cheerily And what would become of the new blue silk dress and the white kid gloves And Alice was laughing through her tears as the train bore her away through the winter twilight Her tears indeed I What were they to the scalding drops which stood on her old fathers wrinkled cheeks as he drove back through the grey dusk to the home which seemed doubly desolate now Mrs Garfield- was delighted with her little rustic blossom of a sister My dear with the greatest thuiiasm you are just like one of my rosebuds Wait until I get you something decent to wear and I shall have you in the fashion at once But Marian said Alice shyly as she glanced at scattered about her 1 ave some beautiful things already Pshaw said Mrs Garfield elevating her keep those things for the country A country dressmaker and goods half a season old I You are too pretty Alice not to be set off to the best advantage Yes but Marian Well dear Alice blushed deeply and with drooping eyes said We cannot afford Ill see to that said Mrs Gar field with despotism And Alice could only force a little laugh snd submit Little Alice Cleve was like a grown up doll to her elder sister Mrs- Garfield robed her tn glisten ing silks hung jewels on her throat and arms wreathed of costly flowers in her hair and throned her queen of love and Oh Marian she cried this is like living in fairyland all the while J I am so happy But it seemed strange be dancing in a crowded room with people all about at the time when to he fast in bed and dreaming My dear thats only because you are a country And mind Marian I only ask because I am so ignorant and foolish Are you sure it is right for me to dance those round dance with a gentlemans arm so tight round my waist I am afraid mamma would not like it You Utile unsophisticated piece of simplicity said Mrs Garfield dont everybody else do it Yes but Then of course right Get your hat and well drive up to the park this afternoon My goodness child what have you brought down that hideous worsted scarf for Mamma knit said Alice col oring up It is to tie over my ears on a cold day like this Mrs Garfield laughed A figure you would cut indeed with head tied up she No Alice your pled little profile is too to be obscured by any such monstrosities But I shall take cold nobody thinks of wearing such a thing I And Alice yielded to Mrs Gar- fields superior experience She went to a soiree that tame night with pearly shoulders bare save for a weblike covering of white tulle and beautiful feet encased in rose colored silk stockings and nice clippers with low heels and rosettes of careless of the wintry storm chat howled without running across the pave ment and youre sate in the carriage said Mrs Garfield of wearing boots or thick Alice was a little hoarse the day but Mrs Garfield look her to the concert Everybody will be there to hear for the last time she said and will be dreadfully disappointed if you stay away do believe hes in lore with you Alice There dont blush so pet nothing to beasbained of in the fact that you have captivated the best match of the season Mrs Garfield came back from the concert in high spirits Now you may have a little nap before dinner Alice HI aend a cup of tea up to your room directly for I want you to be fresh for the evening Oh Marian I am tired But you must not disappoint Mrs Carey I hate promised you should be there Mr Deiahcy is to call for at nine say my dear said honest Mr Garfield Alice had gone youre going it too fist Shes losing all her rustic roses Oh shell get used to it said Marian- complacently And she is so much admired Night after night Alice lovely face set off with expensive dress and crowned with the tweet- est lowers that grew rose like a star- on the horizon of assem Night after night Mrs Garfield ex- oiled in her young sisters success Let rue stay at home tonight SCt Marian she pleaded I am weary and I so long to sleep My dear what an idea So Alice went in pearlcolored silk with floating trails of in her golden hair and pink her cheeks and Mrs Garfield told her with a proud kiss that she never looked so pretty in her life Alice smiled I dont think I care so much for such things as I did she said gravely I feel nowadays as if I wanted to sec papa and mamma and the dear old home Homesick J reproached her sister Not homesick Marian but so tired Mrs Garfield paid but Utile to Alices words then but the came back to her like a pang that ft when Alice was carried out from the oppressive atmosphere of the ballroom It was so like death The closed eyes and the palld cheeks And her old father How should she render up her to him Alice went back in the spring time pale and drooping Mrs Garfield for the doctor next day The man of medicine shook his head and talked gravely of pul monary predisposition and tuber cular tendencies and prescribed quiet port wine and beef tea And the upshot of the interview was that Mrs Garfield wrote to Farmer Of course she is not seriously sick his eldest daughters epistle ran but just a little indisposed- If you choose to run up toward the end of March I dare say she will be well enough to return home with you There is no cause for alarm but our little Alice the doctor tells me has not a strong constitution naturally As if Mr Cleve would have waited a day scarcely an hour after the letter a bombshell of ruin and dismay into the peaceful soli- of his home He packed his carpetbag straight way and took the first train Aflerlravclling all night he reached the metropolis just as the early morn ing sunshine was reddening over the roofs the bouses and to his sur prise the Garfield household were up and stirring Marian herself met him on the at lira Wheres my girl he demanded trying to speak cheerily Oh I papa I am so glad you have come cried Marian hysterically We telegraphed for you last night Shes not worse gasped the old man Oh no at least that is we hope she is not seriously worse only a sudden bad turn thats all Mrs Garfield threw open the door of the apartment where like a pale snow drip veiled by the white drifts or December Alice lay among her pillows She opened tier eyes at the familiar sound of the footsteps- Papa she murmured softly I only wanted to see just once papa Now I can go in peace My broke from Mr Clevea parched lips as her arms were wreathed about his neck one instant and then fell back on her breast Alice I But she did not answer The sweet closed lips should never speak more My dear sir said Dr solemnly when they had forced the poor old man away from the bed where only a lovely statue remained there is really nobody to blame A little over exertion a slight cold rendered obstinate by neglect a delicate constitution He hath given my friend and He take away It la false thundered Mr Cleve turning with pointed finRer and blax- Ing eyes to his eldest daughter you have murdered her And Mrs Garfieto shrinking back with conscious guilt felt that the freruied wordt of the old man were too true She had not meant aught but ten derness She had loved the young girl at dearly as herself yet the knew that her had been the hand that led the fair victim on to death garlanded and Jeweldecked like the sacrifice of old Truly War killed it thou- til l 2 at end of issued and Pestilence tens of but
