to do Gaul Mrs Its lime to up your mind about something you know briskly observed Miss Juniata Juliet May lifted heavy head and looked at them with vaguo sur prise Do she repeated Whats there to do dont know what yon all mean was a dark largeeyed girl with chocks as as a a Span ish of jetblack hair and a slight figure which seemed to bo bound by weight of her deep mourning Mrs was a tall masculine woman with iron- gray hair and a square chin Miss wore spectacles and moved around in an aotivo jerky way art extra largesized canary bird a week tomorrow since vour pa was- buried added Mrs Juliet winced Yes she said I know it Oh papal papal There said Miss Jessup as the young orphan hid face in dont give way Its unchristian and its comfortable too And its high time steadily observed Mrs that you looked matters in the face Juliet May Youve got your living to earn and- But I thought I was to with you said poor Juliet who was as ignorant in the ways of the world as a sixmonthold infant You are my mothers sister Aunt Murdright and That is hardly a reason why I should undertake to support relative I have got in world said Mrs sourly You arent a child Juliet You eighteen last month and theres many a girl of your age earns her own living and lays up a handsome sum besides And its close on first of June and I need every room I to lot to And there is no reason supple- Miss Juniata skillfully sewing opportunity to strike it when Mrs paused for of breath why you should sit with folded hands while your cousin Artemisia works in the skirtfactory and Louisa goes Qut to tailoring Juliet sat looking from one to the other while her heart seemed to stand still within her At the Grange she had always lived in luxury She been the darling and idolized child J a dotting father She had never paused to consider question of mere money- All good and lovely things seemed to assemble around her by magic Everyone had spoken tenderly to her and now and What am I to do Aunt she faltered Is all my money spent Your money hysterically echoed Misa Poor child You haint none Its all gone in rash speculations and mad inventions Juniata Bpeaks only the truth said Mrs Juliets eyes sought hers as if to ask corrobo ration of the little old maids unfeel ing words Youre as good as a beggar and you must begin to con sider in serious earnest what you are to do for your bread I cant under take to support you Juliet put her little cold hand in a pathetically pleading way on Mrs Aunt she said couldnt I stay herd Couldnt I make myself useful to you Mr shrugged her should ers Im very sorry said she but I dont require anyone to play the piano and sit around house in picture- squed positions and be waited on You havent been brought up as my girls are Juliet May I Juliet recoiled as if a serpent had stung her she turned to Miss Jes tup Cousin Juniata she said you too are my relative Aid me I me You have age and experi ence I am like a lost child in this great cruel grinding world Verily Juliet May was but a novice in all conventional wisdom or she would have alluded so unguerd- to the age and experience of tho sprightly spinster Miss Jessup bri dled I really do not know that I have to say said she As Mrs remarks peoplo must expect to work in this world I But Mies Jcasup studiously from rocolloction the fact that when she had first set up dressmaking for herself Squire May had generous ly lent for her lense furni ture stock and fixtures Ho had never claimed a cnt of interest he had never so much as hinted at the repayment of his loan and she had beon equally silent And it is to be presumed that she had quite forgotten the when she added with some little vindictiveness And to my mind it would have been a deal wiser if your papa had looked a more closely to his money instead of lending it to neer- liko Graham to squander Cousin was always ood and kind cried Juliet coloring up Ho would have paid papa if he could And it is mean and dishonor able of you to say such things as these Juniata Jessup I Hoitytoity cried Miss Mean Dishonorable Well if ho aint 1Mb let him put in an appear ance and say what lie has done with that 1 As Mr Graham was at that mo ment supposed to be in Australia en gaged in management of a mam moth farm this was perhaps an unreasonable demand But to Miss Jessups infinite amazement and per haps to her discomfiture as well the front door was pushed open at that juncture and a bronzed bearded ap parition in a suit of some foreign stylo and cut stalked in Is this Mrs Moses house said he Can any one tell mo if Miss Juliet May is here Mi Murdright started Miss Jes sup seemed equally amazed but- with a cry Juliet May sprang to her feet she cried It is my cousin I am Graham said the young man I only arrived in the port of Now York last evening It all seems so strange to me to hear that my cousin Squire May is dead that Juliet is without a home j He stood in surprise scarcely able to in this tall girt the chubbycheeked little play fellow of former years But when she flung herself so into his arms he held her with a tend er and embrace Oh I am so glad that you have come she sobbed Oh I was so lonely and forsaken No one has seemed to care for me since papa died no one offered me a homo I I will said quietly There there little one dont fret It is all smooth sailing now The money which your father lent me has fruit seventy times seven and it is yours now Mrs here recovered her self so far as extend a fishlike hand to Mr Graham Miss pressed eagerly forward My dear Juliet she said with a little acidity you such a mere baby J Dont you see that your cou sin isnt at all the proper person to take charge of you Why not said Gra ham It seems to me that am the very one And my mother is in New York waiting to extend a mothers tender cave to Juliet At all events my dear said Miss dont cling to your cousin as if he a floating spar and you a drowning mariner Do sit down Dear cousin with a smile which displayed every one of her false teeth to the very best This is such an agreeable surprise We have thought and thought of you so much 1 While Mrs hastened to prepare what called a little re freshment for this relative who seem ed so much nearer and dearer since he had come back homo with plenty of money I wish now she muttered that wo hadnt been quite so sharp with Juliet She was a silly child no doubt but if she is going to rich What to who now presented herself with a crape- veiled hat and ink black drap eries folded across her Youre not going away so soon Juliet my darling Chauncey says that his mother us on the very next train said Juliet upon whose palo cheek a new color had kindled And wo no time to loose And simpered Miss Jessup who was hurriedly donning an extremely youthful Gainsborough hat with rose buds mingled with daisies wreath ed around Us brim I have volun- The Country to accompany dear Juliet I have grown too fond of her to her to slip away from me like this Mrs made a grimace The scheming old eat she thought She actually think she in going to luto Chauncey Graham in to marriage Well I never did see such idiotic folly But she said nothing of this as she kissed Juliet goodbye with an effusive ness which surprised young girl Farewell my darling said almost tragically And remember that if over you need a home my hear and heath arc equally open to you Why didnt she say so before Juliet asked amazed at what seemed to her such a sur prising inconsistency Why did she talk so disagreeably about my be ing a burden and earning my own living And why is Juniata coming back with us without ever be ing invited Poor little Juliet She hod yet much to learn of the ins and outs of this world Miss stay in New York however was not prolonged She came back the next da v fied with her journey Things are quite changed since I was a girl said she Theres Juliet engaged to Graham already or as good as engaged a mere child like that with no knowledge nor experience of society And Mrs Graham taking on airs like the queen Dear Editor Having a great many friends in dear old North York I thought just about time I should let them know my whereabouts Since leaving the good town of Newmarket I have travelled extensive ly I doubt if any North Yorker has covered half the distance that I have and seen as much of real life which has been my education and assisted me in
