Theo, turning to Hilda, she said : **My daughters are at the theatre toâ€"night, and sup afterward at a friend‘s house. . They will not be home until late, and we never keep the servants up." **Pray do not take any trouble for me," answered Hilda; * indeed there is no occaâ€" sion," she added, as Miss Gray rose to leave the room.~ ** A good night‘s rest is all 1 require." «e ce **Oh nonsense, my dear," responded her hostess good bumoredly, ** Do you think we Londoners are so inhospitable as that *A good cup of tea will refresh you, and I should advise a spoonful of brandy in it to prevent your taking cold." "*The tem will be very welcome, but no brandy, thanks," replied Hilda. ** I never like spirits and have a distracting headâ€" uche." The door at that moment opened, ad. mitting Miss Gray, who carried a little tray with a dainty tea laid upon it. But Hilda could not eat, though the cold chicken and delicate slices of bread and butter looked most tempting, and was glad to follow her hostess to the pretty bedroom prepared for her. Bidding her new acquaintance a grateful good night, Hilda soon laid her aching hea‘d upon the pillow, and worn out by the fui?ue wod excitement of the day,she slept profoundly. Toke § ue _ So sound indeed was her slumber that she did not hear the gentle footfall of her hostess, as clad in dressing gown and alippers, she noiselessly entered. Hilda‘s room, and after looking for some time at the lovely girl as she lay eleeping profoundâ€" ly, her golden hair scattered over the pillow, she took something from the dressing table and withdrew as nomelessly as she had entered. How long Hilda had slept she knew not, when she was roused from her feverish slumbers by a bright light shining in her eyes. Hastily rising from her pillow, she beheld Miss Gray bending over her. _ and gaslight, and in a low chair by the hearth was a tall, slight woman dressed handsomely in a rustling silk of a dark wine color, her bair elaborately dressed wbove a tired, worn face which once must have been eminently lovely, but which now bore an expression of nearly seifâ€"contempt which too plainly betokened an aching heart. _ Her deep, brilliant eyes scanned Hilda‘s face attentively as she rose to bid her welcome, * What is the matter," exclarmed the girl, as she noticed that Miss Gray‘s face was very pule. " Huh!" replied Geraldine hastily ; "rise and dress, and I will tell you." * But what is it?" said Hilda, hardly awake yet, but rising, nevertheless, and beginning to put on her clot‘her.’ _** You must dress and flee from this wccursed house at once !"‘ replied the other. * Child, you do not guess half the evil to which every moment you remain here exposes you !" -'-f‘vi{i\;', then, do you stay ?" asked Hilda, frightened by Miss Gray‘s words and manner. 4 * Why do I stay *‘ says the latter, with a bitter laugh. _ * Decause 1 have no other home. Ab, would to heaven some hand had been outstretched to save me when I entered these evil doors "‘ * â€" *But I do not understand," said Hilda, terrified, she scarcely knew why, by Gerâ€" aldine‘s mysterious words. "*I have brought nothing with me except this bag," replied the girl, blushing deeply. "I have my money and jewel« here, ‘touchâ€" ing as she spoke the dressing bag in which whe had deposited all her valuables, "*i can send for my heavy laggage as soon as 1 hear of a situation .‘ Further conversation was stopped by the arrival of the hansom at the door of a pretty semiâ€"qetached villa, and the strange lady dismounted from the vehicle and opening the door with her latchâ€"key bade the tired, wornâ€"out girl a hearty welcome, "Come in here, my dear," she said kindâ€" ly, as she opened the door of a prettily furnished sittingâ€"room at the back of the house,. The apartment was bright with fire ""My p(;r)r girl !" said the elder woman, laying her hand very tenderly on the other‘s arms, "‘this house hides many evil deeds, of which I dare not tell you ; but as you value your peace and happiuess, go at once before the day breaks." _ " I am gou;g," mobbed the poor girl, as, with trembling fingers she buttoned her heavy mourning dress. * I know you mean kindly, but oh ! where can I go at this time of night, t.oo?"_ fhe ® 3 _ Miss (;r:y '-toppsd in her occupation of hastily packing Hilda‘s few things, and, turning to the trightened g%rl, said gravely : "If you had to pass the night in the workhouseâ€"aye, even wander about till morning without a place to lay your head, 1 should still urge you to leave this roof ut once ; but if you go a short disâ€" tance you will reach the police station.

Don‘t you think I kin walk around up there, instid of flyin‘, or couldn‘t I hev roller skates or a velocipede?" â€" Mr. Gallup‘s answer was a longâ€"drawn snore, and Mrs. Gallup wept softly for a minute and went on : C 1 wouldn‘t ask you to go up and see my grave, Samuel,‘cept the naybure would all talk about it if you didn‘t. You‘ll hey to go up once in awhile, even arter you‘ve took & second wife. I a‘pose you‘ll tell her, «« you stand lookia‘ st my tombastun, that I was the ailingest person in this bull stait, and that no week passed that I wasn‘t taken with sunthin‘ new * . Yes, I‘ve bin sick a good deal, Samuel, but I heven‘t bin to blame about it, and I‘ve allus bin willin‘ to die and stop the expense. . Your second wife may be sick twice as much as I‘ve bin. Some folks would hope so, but I don‘t. I shan‘t bear her no grud}c. even if you buy: a croquet set and hev skeeterâ€"bars at all the winders, Did you button the henâ€" houre door afore you went to bed * J thought I heard a hen yell out of as if a »kunk had got hold of her." _ Mre. Gu.‘:f listened and Mr. Gallup wlept on, Mrs. Gallup would have fallen asleep if she had not aroused herself to shed some more tears and to say : * I want you to look out for things when I‘m ï¬ono. Samuel,even if you do colt around and learn to swear and go to the circus. The raicâ€"barrel wants to be rinsed out every two weeks, and if the soft .o-g‘giu thin you‘ll hev to bile it over again. hem dried cherries must be kept in & cool spot, ** Whichever day is the handiest or you!f will do for me !" she sobbed as a vision of a funeral procession came to her through the darkness. **Jest git threw it with the least bother you kin,and then go coltin around and lookin‘ for No 2. When Mrs. Sam Robinson died she asked her husband hud e niniaint fn! scicereety en esd vocnndinnepipr t t Nothing from Mr. Gallup â€"nothing but evidence that it would take{the report of a cannon to wake him. Trand "Very well, Samuelâ€"7ery well 1" said Mrs., Gallup as she hitched nerself down in im mominutc©315 Slana as vallas is **Waal, you ncedn‘t go. It was selfish in me to ask you to put yourself out jest ‘cause I was dyin‘, You jest lay right there andsneeze and snore and grunt and gusp, and l‘il take keer of myselt. 1t‘s fushionâ€" abler to hev folks around you when you expire, but a woman who hain‘t had a new bonnet for twentyâ€"two years bain‘t perâ€" tickler about fushion. I‘ve allus kinder thought I‘d rather die in the daytime, but it don‘t make no great difference, I guess, If 1‘d had my way about it I‘d hev waited ‘till after the Sunday Skule picnic, but we can‘t allus hev our own way in this sinful world. Samuel, will you hey the funeral on Saturday or Sunday*‘ m She felt that she ought to ask the quesâ€" tion, but didn‘t expect any reply to it. By this time she was " enjoying a good cry," and bad Mr. Gallop roused up she would have been put out. & 3 M O CIM OWE LA vmigy 3 for my sake, I‘ve cut and sewed ‘nuff rage for fitteen yards of carpet, and you want to be keerful ard not sell ‘em to a tinâ€"pedâ€" dler, for paperâ€"rage.

You orter hev that dishâ€"pan mended right away arter the funeral and I was goin‘ to tell you that the snout had come off the teapot. Shall you g> to the first circus that comes along, Samuel, or will you wait about three months and then go to a horseâ€"race or a dog-f'\}ht. * A M cyC Pmï¬ ns t 2 20000 Mr. Gallup didn‘t say. He turned over on his side with a wheeze and a grunt, stuck both feet out to the weather, and Mrs. Gallup found her eyes closing as she waited for him. She wasn‘t through yet, however, and she pulled her nose to drive sleep away and said : "1f I‘m summoned I don‘t want to hold back, and if the Lord wants me to become an angel I‘m not goiog to dispute over it, but I do wish angels bad sunthin‘ to do besides flyin‘ around aod playin‘ on golden harps. { know I‘ll feel hinder lonesome up there not to wash on Monday and bake und ijron on Tmaeaday, and whe=fâ€"lt. woerr T‘il want to make softsoap and gather catnip and smartweed.

"Very well, Samuelâ€"7ery well 1" said Mrs, Gallup as she hitched herself down in the bed. "I kin die alone as well as if a dozen people were around, and you can‘t say 1 made you any trouble over it. Goodâ€" bye, bn.mui'.“ ‘The grim destroyer is at hand and I‘m about to ‘n‘?rud my wings and soar fur, fur away. When your second wife comes to die sheâ€"she mayâ€"she may And then Mre. Gallop slept, and Mr. Gallup alept, and the crickets in the garden called *‘goodâ€"night" to each other across the cabbage and lettuce and enions and cucumbers and chirped no mere. one benevolent institution or another for almost every Saturday in the year, and the preserves down cellar orter be looked after to see if they want more sugar, The hens and the hogs and the cow wiil miss me, and you must be kjl{d- to ‘em Ce e durirein 22 In his dreams Mr. Gallup slid off the roof of the barn and struck on his head, but he didn‘t wake up to reply to hber question. He sin.ply drew up his legs and began to snore, and her tears were streaming down her cheeks as the dying wife hitched up to brace against the headâ€"board and ooou'nu:d: Mr. Gallup heard her first tour or five words and returned to his dream, though now b failing off the roof of a barn instead ing a saw log. ‘"I was never in‘ sounder in my life," said Mrs, whe used her elbow 1 don‘t remember,when I heard that sound â€"soft, low music, follered by a voice right outside of this winder which eaid : ‘Come up higher !‘ Yes, it said that, Samuel, and afore sunrise you will bea widower and lookin‘ around for a second wife. 1 don‘t want to make no fuss about goin‘, butI wish you‘d run over and git Mrs. Watkine.
