The diary la commenced at Andorsonvllle. Chapter I Continued. And If one wanted to go to walk, or to n party, or to play some game, the other didn't always look tired and bored, and say, "Oh, very well, If you like." And then both not do It, what ever It was That Ih, 1 never saw the other girls' fathers and mothers do that way ; and I've seen quite u lot of them, too, for I've been at the other girls' houses a lot for a long time. You see I don't stay at homo much, only when I hovo to. Wo don't have a round table with a red cloth and a lamp on It, and children 'round It playing games and doing things, and fathers and mothers reading and mending. And It's lots Jollier where they do have them. Nurse says my father and mother ought never to huvc been married That's what I Heard her tell our Bridget one day. So the first chance I got I asked her why, and what she meant, ., "Oh, lal Did you hear that?" sho domanded, with the quick look over her shoulder that she always gives when she's talking about Father and Mother. "Well, little pitchers do have big ears, sure enough I" "Little pitchers," Indeed I As If I dldnt know what that meant! I'm no child to be kept In the dark concern ing things I ought to know. And I told her so, sweetly and pleasantly, but with llrmncss and dignity. I made her tell me what she meant, and I made her tell me a lot of other things about them, too. You see, I'd Just de cided to wrlto the book, so 1 wanted to know everything she could tell me. I didn't tell her about the book, of courxe. I know too much to tell se crets to Nurso Sarah I Hut 1 showed ny excitement and Interest plainly; and when sho saw how glad I was to hear everything she could tell, sho talked a lot, and really seemed to en Joy It, too. You see, sho was here when Mother first camo as a bride, so she knows everything. She was Fathor's nurse when bo was n little boy; then she Btayed to take earn of Father's mother, Grandma Anderson, who was an In valid for a great many years and who didn't die till lust nfter I was born. Then sho took caro of me. So she's always been In the family over slnco oho was a young girl. She's awfully old now 'most sixty. First I found out how thoy happened to marry Father und Mother, I'm talking about now only Nurso says she can't see yet how they did happen to marry, Just the samo, they're so teo-1 totally different. Dut this Is the story. Father went to Boston to attend a big meeting of astronomers from all over the world, and they had banquota and receptions where beautiful ladles went In their pretty evening dresses, und my mother was one of thorn. (Her father was one of tho astronomers, Nurso said.) The meetings lasted four days, and Nurse said she guessed my father saw a lot of my mother during that time. Anyhow, ho was Invited to their home, and ho stayed another four days after the meetings wcro over, Tho next thing they know hero ut tho house, Grandma Anderson had n tele gram that he was going to bo inarrlcd to Miss Madge Desmond, and would they please send him some things he wunted, and ho was going on a wed ding trip and would bring his brtdo homo In about a month. It was Just ns sudden as that And surprising I Nurse suys a thunderclap out of a clear blue sky couldn't havo astonished thorn more Father was al most thirty years old at that time, and he'd never cared a thing for girls nor paid them tho least little bit of atten tion. So they supposed, of course, that he was a hopeless old bachelor and wouldn't ever marry, llo wns bound up in his stars, even then, and was already beginning to bo famous, bo cause of u comet he'd discovered. Ho was a profossor in our collego here, where his father had been president. His father bud Just died u few months before, and Nurse said maybe that was one reason why Father got caught in the matrimonial net like that. (Thoso aro her words, not mine. The idea (of calling my mother a net I But nurse never did appreciate Mother). But Father Just worshiped his father, and they wero always together Grandma being sick so much; ,and so when he died my father was nearly beside himself, an 4 thafr use reason they were so anxious ha should gd t hiX taetlng la Boston. They thought It fefghj; take Wa plnd a himself, mm ml m m sever thought' of It tutting fcU mind en a wife! So fur as lit? (loins It right up quick ilko thnt was concerned, Nurse Bald that wasn't ho surprising. For nil the iv up. If Father wanted anything he Insisted on having It, and having it A Little 811m Elnhtaen-Year-Old Qlrl With Yellow, Curly Hair. right away then. He nover want ed to wait a mlnuto he found a girl ho wanted, ho wanted her right away then, without waiting n minute. He'd never happened to notice n girl ho wanted before, you Bee. But he'd found one now all right; and Nurso said there was nothing to do but to mnke the best of It and get ready for her. There wasn't anybody to go to tho wedding. Grandma Andorson was sick, so of course she crmldn't go, and Grandpa was dead, so of course he couldn't go, and there weren't any brothers or sisters, only Aunt Jane in St. Paul, and she was so mad sho wouldn't come on. So there wns no chance of seeing tho bride till Father brought her home. Nurso said they wondered nnd won dered what kind of a woman it could be that had captured him. (I told her I wished she wouldn't speak of my mother as If she was some kind of a hunter out after game; but she only chuckled and said that's about what it amounted to In some cases.) The very Ideal Tho whole town wns excited over the affair, and Nurse Sarah heard a lot of their talk. Home thought she was an astronomer like him. Some thought she was very rich, and may- bo famous. Everybody declared she must know a lot, anyway, and bo wonderfully wise and Intellectual; and they snld she was probably tall and wore glasses, and would be thirty yenrs old, at lenst. But nobody guessed anywhero near what she really was. Nursit Sarah said she should never forget the night she came, and how sho looked, and how utterly llnbber gasted ov cry body whs to seo her1 little slim eighteen-year-old girl with yellow, curly hair and tho merriest laughing eyes they had ever seen. (Don't I know? Don't I Just love Mother's eyes when they sparkle and twinkle when we'ro oft together some times In tho woods?) And Nurso said Mother was so excited tho day alio camo, nnd went laughing and danc ing nil over tho house, exclaiming over everything. (I can't Imagine thnt so well. Mother moves so quietly now, everywhere, nnd is so tired, 'most all tho time.) But sho wnsu't tired then, Nurse says not a mite. "But how did Father act?" I de manded. "Wasn't ho displeased nnd scandalized and shocked, and every thing?" Nurso shrugged her shoulders nnd raised her eyebrows tho way sho does when sh'o feels particularly superior. Then sho said: , "Do? What does any old fool bcggln' your pnrdon an' no offenso meant, Miss Mary Mario but what does any man do .what's got bejugglcd with a pretty face, an' his senses com pletely took away from him by n chit of n girl? Well, that's what ho did. He nctcd as if ho was bewitched. Ho followed her around tho houso like h dog when he wasn't locdln' her to something now; an' be never took his eyes off her face except to look at us, as much ns to say : 'Now ain't she tho adomhlo creature.?' " "My father did thnt?" I gasped. And, really, you know, I Just couldn't bollevo my ears. And you wouldn't, either, if you know Father. "Why, I nover saw him act llko thnt 1" "No, I guess you didn't," laughed Nurse Snrnh with a shrug. "And neither did anybody else for long, "But how long did It last?" I naked. "Oh, a month, .or maybe six weoks," shrugged Nurso Sarah. "Then It came September and college begnn, and your father had to go back to his teach- lng. Things began to change then." "Right then, bo you could seo themt" I wanted to know. Nurso Sarah shrugged her shoulders again. "Oh, lal child, what a little question-box you aro, an' no mistake," she sighed. But she didn't look mad not like the way she docs when I ask why she can tak her teeth out and most ef her hair off and J. can't; and things like thnt (As If I didn't know I What does she take me for a child?) She didn't erea lxk dlsplead Nurse Sarah lorn to talk. (As If I dldnt know that, tool) She Just threw that qnlck look, ol hers. cr h shoulder and settled back contentedly in her chair. I know then I should get the whole story. And I did. And I'm go ing to tell It here In her own words, Just ns well as I can remember it bad grammar and nil. So pleaso re member that I am not making nil those mistakes. It's Nurse Sarah. "I guess, though, that I'd better put it Into n new chapter. This one Is ynrds long ulready. How do they toll when to begin and end chapters? I'm thinking It's going to be some Job, writing this book diary, 1 mean. But I shall lovo It, I know. And this is a renl story not like thoso mado-up things I'vo always written for tho girls at school. CHAPTER II Nurse Sarah's Story. And this Is Nurse Sarah's story. As I suld, I'm going to tell It straight through as nenr as I can In her own words. And I can remember most of It, I think, for I paid very close attention. "Well, yes, Miss Mary Marie, things did begin to change right tliero an' then, an' so you could notice It. Wo saw it, though maybe your pn an' ma didn't nt the first. "You sec, the first month after she enme, It was vacation time, nn he could give her all tho time sho wanted An' sho wnnted It nil. An' she took It. An he wns Just as glad to give it as she was to take it. An' so from mornln' till night they wns together, trnlpsln' nil over the houso an' garden, an' trumt.in' off through the woods and' Up on this mountain every other day with their lunch. "You see she was city-bred, an' not used to woods an' flowers growln' wild: an' sho went crazy over them. Ho' showed her tho stars, too, through his tolcscopo ; but sho hadn't n mite of ubo for them, nn let him see It good nn' plain. Sho told him I heard her with my owu oars thnt his eyes, when thoy laughed, was all the stars she wanted; nn' that sho'd had stars all hor Hfo for breakfast an' luncneon an dinner, anyway, nn' all tho tlmo be tween; nn' she'd rather have somo- thln' else, now somethln' alive, that she could love on' live with an' touch an''play with, like she could the flow ers an' rocks and' grnss nn' trees. "Angry? Your pa? Not much ho was I He Just Inughed an' caught her 'round the waist an' kissed her, an snld sho herself was the brightest star of all. Then they run off hand In hand, like two kids, too. All through thoso first fow weeks your pn was Just a great big baby with a new plaything. Then when college began he turned all at once Into n full-grown man. An Just nntqrally your ma didn't know what to make of It. "Ho couldn't explore the attic an' ng up in tho old clothes there any more, nor romp through tho garden nor go lunchln' In the woods, nor none of the thlugs she wunted him to do. He didn't hnjve time. An' what made things worse, ono of them comet-tails was comln' up In the sky, an' your pa didn't take no rest for watchln for It, an' then studyln' of It when It got here. "An your nm poor little thing1! couldn't think qf anything but a doll that ras thrown In the corner because Bomcbody'd got tired of her. She wns lonesome nn' no mistake. Anybody'd be sorry for her, to see hor mopln' round the house, nothln' to do. Oh, sho rend, an' sewed with them bright colored silks an' worsteds; but 'course there wasn't no real work for her to do. There was good help In the kitchen, an' I took what caro of your grand ma was needed ; an' she always gave her .orders through me, so I practical ly nm tho house, nn' thero wasn't anything there for her to do. "An so your ma Just hail to mope It out alone. Oh, I don't mean your pa was unkind. He wus always nice an' polite, when ho wns In the house, nn' I'm sure he mennt to treat her all right. He said yes, yes, to bo sure, of courso she was lonesome, an' ho was sorry. 'Twas too bad ho was so busy. An ho kissed hor an' patted her. But ho always began right away to talk of tho comet ; an' ten to one ho didn't disappear Into tho observa tory within tho next five mlnutos, Then yonr ma would look so grloved an sor ry an' go off an' cry, an' mnybo not come down to dinner, at nil. "Well then, ono day things got so bnd your grandma took a hand. Sho wns up an' around tho houBe, though sho kept mostly to her own rooms. But of courso site saw how things wns goln'. Besides, I told her some. 'Twns no more than my duty, as I looked at It. Sho Just worshiped your pa, an' naturally sho'd want things right for him. So ono day she told mo to tell her son's wlfo to come to her In her roonu, "An' I did, nn' she camo. Poor lit tle thing I I couldn't help beln' sor ry for her. Sho didn't know a thing of what was wanted of her, an sho was so glnd an' happy to come. You i scOj sho wag lonesomeuI suppose. TO BE CONTINUED. I J. V.
