pitchers and pennies in hand for the daily measure of milk One little egg cup full poured from the she brought it in frothing for her mothers tea The rest was all converted into money and except the microscopic insurance that came from the friendly brothers of something to which the late Mr Ely belonged very little other lucre found its way into the small cottage Not a hundred yards from this tint eat of cottages was an imposing stone leading to the well kept grounds of Squire Melville His grand house was closed all winter but one of the symptoms of spring well known to the villagers was the reno vating and house cleaning which pre saged the coming of the family It was theonly house of any pretension near and was the tangible evidence of the great financial success which has been won by this one of the town boys of the previous generation who had leffc his early home and taken bis chances in one of the worlds great marts battle of life liad Melville cold hard and and with enough of another kind to make him take pleasure in ex hibiting his glory to the eyes of his old associates He had a meek and invalid wife whose fortune been the stopping stone to hie prosperity and a ran and daughter who were well liked in Snow- den The latter was engaged to a Mont real and so was of more consequence In her gratified fathers eyes than she had before But the son whose future every ambitions hope of his worldly father centered had fallen in love with pretty Ely and the fact had just come to that ted fathers knowledge John Melville lie bad said you driveling idiot Do suppose lam going fa the fortune I have spent my life and health in getting poured into tho lap of a beggar a scrub a dairy woman A low like the servants in my kitch en There was a storm- of angry words between them for no man could listen calmly to abuse of- his loved one Then the older man more politic than younger forced his tongue to a mildness that found no echo in his heart and tried a appeal to his son begging him for his sane to surrender hia fleeting fancy but entreaties had no effect Raging with anger the eon flung him self out of the home followed by the wrathful insults of his father In doorway of the little cottage stood with her face lifted as her eyes look ed dreamily into the blue glory of the summer sky massed them selves above her sprays heavy bloom waved about and a climbing vine of the York and caster wreathed the pillars that up hold the roof There roses on both sides of her and in the pink per fection of her setting she was the loveliest flower of all My Rose of Summer whispered Jack Melville swinging himself over the low rail arid stealing an arm around her slight waist You fighting for he continued as they stepped together in to the little house Fighting Jack Yes my precious I have just bad a battle royal with my father and he flushed as be remembered the scoffing slights which had been heap ed upon his darling grow pale and wept as Jack gave her an extended account of the stormy interview which bad left its traces on his words and looks When he finished he saw a look of severe resolution in her lovely face that astonished him He bent to kiss the red lips that a few momenta before had worn such tender curves but she turned her head away Listen Jack she said solemnly J will never never never marry a man whose father refuses to welcome me Letty he exclaimed is your pride more to you than your love Dont you know that I can make you happy far away from all this You will not be happy if you dis obey your father- and if you are un happy I shall be wretched Pleadings and protestations al though her own heart echoed them all failed to shake her resolve Her only answer repetition of her determination never to enter a family without a welcome The painful interview was ended at last by Mrs Elys hurried entrance with a message brought in hot haste from Mrs Melville The squire had been found unconscious on the floor of his library and the frightened wife had sent for her bob whore past ex perience bad taught her he could be found There were several days of grave anxiety for the family and ex citement and sympathy among the neighbors Then for a time all danger was oyer and Mr Melville pale broken and aged was seen driving out again But it was well known that the family doctor sum moned by telegraph at the time of his seizure had said that his life depend ed upon an equable quiet routine Any sudden event or shock might be fatal to him For a dozen years the- great social event of the summer in had been a lawn party and evening dance at Melville Court given always the First of July Mr Melville enjoyed overwhelming country neighbors with his magnificence so no expense was spared on re freshments decorations and fireworks And even now while he was only a a pale shadow of himself he insisted upon preparing for the usual only of pretension in the whole village where cards were not loft was Mrs Elys Grace Mel ville had run in at dusk one night to make a hurried protestation her own and her mothers innocence of the and to tell her dear of Jacks grief and rage which had to be restrained because of the fathers critical condition It was a clear balmy First of July Screened by the luxuriant vines veiled the parlor window sadly watched the guests goby their faces bright with As promise of pleasure in which shecoiild have no share darkly with light but the soft gleam of stars fireworks would have a superb setting of black ness Heavy low growing trees forming what neighbors had always called the grove covered that part of Melville Court which touched the widows garden Creeping after nightfall under dense shadow stood with a black waterproof thrown around her to obscure her white dress and watched the for a grand pyrotechnic display The music of band at first pre vented her hearing any other sound but it ceased and the durjccrcj poured out of the hall door to join the guests who crowded on terraces to watch the fireworks she was con scious of voiceswhispering very near Without aid of her eyes she knew that James the new butler was one of the speakers Remember ho was saying hurri edly- your are not to let yourself in to the little side door till you see that light go out in that diamond shaped window on the third floor Keep your eyes on that mind An after got ourselves inter do house hows we to be sure we dont run into nobody said a brutal voice Because the moment the first fire cracker pops there won be a living sinner from cellar to garret that wont run out to see the fan that is except Mr Melville He aint near as well as he thought hed be Everybody thinks hes in the crowd somewhere but Ive just helped him into bed an I must run back to stay within call Heres the key of the missus closet in the dressing room an the key of bureau But youre not to go near the squire itll be killing if you do for a shock will be his death Then James hurried off and liaEcned petrified to a conversation which showed that the two men near by wore quite aware that the squires room from which they were warned off contained much the most promis ing booty and were not to be deterred from entering it by any consideration for his life On the contrary they planned to surprise and threaten him with their pistols if he did not surren der to them certain bonds they believ ed to be in his private safe Never under any shall Ely enter this house again was the sentence the squire had pronounced in reply to Graces in tercession for her brothers sake and now the words were vividly present to as she stole away from the grove and skirting the fence to the right hastened with the speed of a deer to the house She entered into the hall by the back way flew up the stairs ran along the halls and into Graces room It was empty so was her mothers sitting room A quick step sounded in the distance It was James going down tho stairs He bad been up to darken the diamond window From behind a portiere she watched till he disappeared She lingered uncertainly hardly knowing what to do next Should she run down stairs again and out on the lawn to summon help Perhaps oven in the time she was gone the squires room might be invaded Be fore she could make herself decided upon some of action a shabby ruffianly figure came in sight at the other end of the long hall and a hand was lifted to turn out the lamp that hung there drew back unnoticed into the doorway behind her and running through the room softly opened the squires door and stepped in looking and bolting it be hind her Gliding across to the other door ahe bolted it She turned around then with a sensation of fear that the real danger had not given her to confront the surprised indignant eyes of the squire The lights were turned low but the room was filled with ruddy glare of an eruptive Vesuvius in full play on the He had wrapped a dressing gown about him and was watching the display from his window Perhaps he could not think of words ireful enough to voice his wrath for he looked at her in cold silence A real or fancied sound in the next brought to her senses Walking close to Mr Melville she softly and- quietly explained posi tion reserving fact the enemy was already upon For it was easy to out the window from to an ornamental roof from she gave the alarm to a group guests who quickly disappeared into the house Under cover of the intense darkness that fellafter the- out of the last set piece she descended the iron trellis work that projected side of the front door and dipping through the edge flow to her own unnoticed Having gained its shelter she treated her alarmed mother to tho only hysterical attack she had ever had She had gone through the chill and the sobbing and half laughing half crying recital of her adventure- and was lying back white and tremu lous in an arm chair when Jack came with a fervent message of thanks from father and an entreaty which sounded almost humble that she would forgive and forget He drew the blinds open as be apoko Look over there and think what might be the condition if you had not so brave and gener ous These wretches with that scoundrel James are safely locked in the stable with a willing- band of watchers guarding them and we are all agreed- in blessing you Surely darling now you will Hake back the stern refusal with such ft J welcome waiting for you The wild excitement of the evening had interrupted the pyrotechnic per- formances but now late though it was some young men remembering that the First of July comes but once a year fired a fuse of the framework of the grand finale malice to ward none and Jack bad gone to the window and as the noble words flam ed against the sky he repeated them softly and in their glowing light he searched Lettys sweet eyes reading in their clear depths no stern refusal The Queens A description of the Queens train used op the trip between Windsor and Jubilee Day was ably crowded out of last weeks Era
