Q rirvvYVV-i-VTnnr030000OOOa or rv There -was a chorus of delighted O's ! and Ah's ! among the Gray girls when > Meg burst In with the news that the Jocelyn party was to 'bo a fancy dress affair. "And I know what I'm going to be a flower girl , " Meg wound up. Ada nodded. "And sell all tho. flowers on our last aummer'fi hats. You'll have a big- stock in trade , Meg. I think I shall be Diana. " "You're tall and lanky enough , goodness kno > \ . " .Helen .said. She liked to bo brusque. To her own mind It favored of oriclnallty and daring. "l'-m going as Queen , "Elizabeth. " ehe went on. "As for riillllppa , she has no choice. She could not p'ojelbly bo anything but Cinderella. " "Cinderella In rags ! " Phlllippa said with n fcrave laugh. ( Helen had hurt her , but , she -would have died rather than show it. "And I don't Uilnk LMamrna Jocelyn would Ilka the rags , Helen. Certainly not on a cousin to Frank's sweetheart " "If you mean ine , I am nobody's sweet heart. Sweethearts are vulgar , " Helen said loftily. "Of course I shall have beaux when the time comes. I'm too near grownup uplC you know. I leave all that nonsense to Meg and Ada. They are Just eighteen months younger tout twins al ways take longer to grow up " , "Cs'0 such thing ! They don't ! " 'lies : and -Ada protected in 'the sanio breath. Helen .lauched disagreeably. "It would be. un lucky for Phil if they didn't , " she said. "You know you have always grown so slow my old clothes never would fit you. They did flt Phil , who Is exactly your age. " Philllppa got up with a lump In her throat. "I must run homo now , " she said , "mother will bo waiting. Let us know , Helen , when you want help about the dresses. I know you'll have a perfectly gorgeous time. " Phlllippa was a Gray , too , but her father , people eald , bad married beneath himself. He had been as ehlftleae as his brother , law yer Gray , was thriving. Still his brother had been kind and brotherly while tbo ne'er- do-well lived. He had died whan Philllpp.i was 10 years old , leaving to bis widow only the cottage home and a few hundred dollars. Still she managed to live without greatly taxing her husband's rich brother. At Christmas be always gave her J10. at New Ycar'3 a load ot coal.

" "Give me the flowers for It , then , " the judge said. As she huddled them Into his hand. Frank came up. "That's not fair. Uncle Lenox you're a monopolist , " he said. "I tried tobuy some violets to send my sweet heart. She Isn't hero tonight you know- but this tyrant would not part with them. " "You may have them now. How many ? I didn't like to have you ruin yourself away from your guardian but if the judge knows all about It , " the violet girl murmured. As she made a tentative pause. Frank caught her'hand. ' "I want all that are left in the basket and the basket beside , " he said. "Ah , ha ! Who's a monopolist now ? " the judge asked. Ran Bowling , who had come up to them , made a grimace as he said : " must have one bunch If no more. Must ! Do' you hear , Frank ? You , " nodding to the violet seller , "are my guardian angel. You gave me an excuse to escape from that dangling - ling Diana. I have been stuck with her ever since I came In. " "Shut up ! " Frank said , hastily shouldering' Randolph aside. "Diana is Ada Gray , " ho eald in his ear. "And Queen Elizabeth Helen. " Randolph whistled softly , "I'd better cut before the unmasking , " he said. "But say ? Tell me who that cute little thing with the flowers Is ? " ' 'Ask mo something easy , please , " Frank retorted. "Blest If I know if anybody knows. You'll have to stay to flnd out and let your sins flnd you out. " Randolph said "I will. " But he did not flnd out. Neither did any body else. The violet girl vanished almost as soon as she bad sold her last bunch of blossoms. Half an hour later Philllppa was telling her mother : " 0 ! it v\aa the greatest fun ! I shall love that 'blessed ' mask all my life. At first I was hot and cold nil at once , whenpver I had to speak , but when I found they did not know , everything grew easy. I felt as 1f I walked on air. I did not quite like to take the money but Frank kept whoring : 'Keep it ! It's all right. ' He must have suspected , but lie kept bis face like a wooden Indian. And I have $20 ! Do you know what I shall do with it ? " "No ! Only that it will bo something nice. " Jlrs. Gray said , stroking Phlllippa's hea < } . Philllppa laughed and cuddled closer , saying : "I shall Rive 'back ' the $10 you lot nio spcml for cold frames to go over my violet beds. You were an angel to do it. Nobody else \\ould have believed I could raise the flcr.vers for market In our little garden. The other ten I mean to put Into Castor gifts for Helen and Meg and Ada. They shall not know who sends them , either , I'll make them Just 'From Cinderella. ' I'oor dears ! Cinderella had a better time than they at the grand ball. " I'hIIIlppa's first violet sale was by no means her last. She never again sold in costume , but she wore out more than one pair of sabots pattering about her cold frames. The frames spread and flourished amazingly so amazingly that when their mistress married Frank Jocelyn. one Easter day , her rloh uncle was not caJleJ on to fur- n.Va the trou&jeau.

His extreme youthfulness surprised me , and I Immediately returned to the keeper of the quarteer to remonstrate with him against detailing a more boy for such an arduous duty on such a cold night. Ho assured me that the boy referred to bad made the same journey many times before and was , indeed , a full-Hedged ycmstchlck , or tarantass driver.

Crack ! went the UUle fellow's whip , and away dashed th troika ( team of three horses. ) Our horzes were already Impatient with the cold. The night was black and threatening and the roadway among the hummocks of Ice on the river was almost , indistinguishable. As the darkness Increased we frequently missed It altogether , and the ponderous sledge went bumping and toppling over the icy hum mocks , while our poorly-fed peasant horses strained every nerve to keep it in motion. Two hours jxisacd toy , when suddenly the pledge stopped , half tilted on a huge hummock - | mock of Ice. "Tho horse Is own. barln" i ( master ) , shouted the little yemstohick.

From ihls I was finally roused by a sudden shock. \Ve seemed to have collided with eomo- Lhlng. I looked out and eaw that 'we ' had eached the next village and that our steam- ng , frcat-covered horses , eager to get into shelter , had run the shafts ot our vehlclo headlong into the gate. "What's the matter ? " 'I called out to the yenifitchlck. "Please , barln , I couldn't hold 'ein , " cama the reply In a chattering voice. That admission was sufficient ; I know that the little fellow's hands must be either numbed or frozen , and for that reason ha could not pull on the reins. I jumped out , opened the gate nnd led the hordes in , but hi did not move from his box ; his legs were too stiff with the cold. I picked him up and carried him bodily Into the hou- . A banln cf snow was Immediately ibrought to thaw out his frozen fingers , while 1 removed his clothing to rub a circulation back Into his stiffened limbs. With this and a glaia or two of hot tea wo finally restored him to animation. Even then he never uttered ono word of complaint , and when I slipped a ruble Into his glowing fingers he looked as cheerful as though nothing unpleasant had happened. If this , I thought.
