Tom Arnold had a housokcepor, a
rat hor nttractivo littlo woiimn of per
haps thirty-five, who rejoiced in tho
name of Bugboo. I say rejoiced; per
haps that is not quito correct. It was
maliciously reported that Mrs. Bugbco
would not seriously object to dropping
that cognomen if a favorable opportu
nity occurred for an exchange But,
being a widow, peoplo woro privileged
to say such unoharitablo things of lior
wiuiuub luuuivu. i kiuiiK. wmuwsare tno
most abused and slandered peoplo in
tho world. Tho idea of tlioir ma
neuvering or setting traps for a hus
bandwhy, it's simply pvopostorous! I
wouldn't belie vo it if I saw it with my
own eyes.
Bugboc, deccasod, had shufllcd off
this mortal coil something like fivo years
before, so sho might bo said to bo in the
lavender and gray stago of her grief,
having triumphantly outlived tho crapo
and bombazine period. Sho was a very
blaokoyed littlo woman, with cheeks as
round and as red as a China doll's and
tlioso cool, gray tints woro becoming,
and mado hor look " as fresh as a roso
sot in a bunoli of tansy." Tins similo is
not original with mo; it originated in tlio
brain of Nod Bradleo, and it first oc
. cured to him ono spring evening when
ho went up to Arnold's after some
turnip seed. And Mrs. Bugbco, in tho
absence of tho maa'or of tho houso, got
it for him, pouring it out of tho paper
into her plump, rosy palm, and holding
it out for him to look at, talking all tlio
time of what 'splendid'1 turnips thoy
were, and what lovely sauce they made
mashed up with potatoes and butter and
popper.
"Du you lovo turnip sass, Mis Bug
becP" Ned asked, venturing a look from
tho plump hand to tho bright oyes of his
companion.
O yes, Mr. Bradleo, I lovo it better
than anything in tho world!" was tho
fervent answer.
Now, turnip sauco was Nod's spocial
delight, but for an instant ho folta littlo
twingo of jealous envy toward his old
favorite.
"I should think you could raise beau
tiful ones on your placo. I thought of
it when 1 was'by thoro tho other day,"
sho continued, doing up the seed and
laying it in hjs hand, just brushing hor
sleovo across his arm, and touching in
tlio lightest possiblo way hor little warm
iingors to his palm.
Alas, poor Nod! Ho went homo that
night thoroughly bewildered. Ho for
got that he Jiad eaten no suppor, ho
lorgot that ids feet woro wet from walk
ing directly through a "slough," in
stead of taking tho path round it in
deod, 1 am not sure but ho forgot there
was a slough thoro at all; ho forgot
to shut up his hens (and as a eonso
quenco lost more than half his young
beets before ho was awako in tlio morn
ing) and to feed tiio chestnut colts, but
ho did not forgot Mrs. Bugbco ah no!
not oven in his dreams, for then ho
fancied sho was an immense turnip,
with lavender leaves bound with pink
ribbon, and when ho went to "null"
hor, sho put up hor lips and kissed him!
Ho woke up witli a little delicious thrill,
and an abominable cold in his head.
Ho had forgotten to shut down tho win
dow over his bod, and tlio wind had
come round and was blowing directly
on him.
"Ned Bradleo, you're a consarnod old
foolP" ho said, dropping tlio window
with a bang. "Ain't you ashamed of
yourself, at your .time o' lifo forty-five
tho thirteenth day of Inst Jinowary
you old ninny, youP"
lint as ho laitl back in bed for another
nap, ho somehow hoped ho should
dream that "turnip" dream again.
Tho wonderful improvement which
bad como over Ned's personncllc, had
all dated from that night Thoro was
a snug littlo frame houso going up now
on that "quarter section," and though
tlio question had not yet been directly
put, Mrs. Susan Bugboo was as morally
certain of somo day making "turnip
aauco" within its pleasant walls as one
can bo of anything iu this changeable
world.
And now, it having just occurred to
mfi, I will go back and look after my
hero, whom, if I mlstako not, I loft mi
tho evo of an introduction to tlio Misses
Mont ford,
Ralph felt as ho wont through tho
coromony of introduction, ns if ho was
hi a sort of nightmare Did yo-i over
look at tho sun, until, when you looked
away, you could boo a round, prismatic
ball whorovor your oyes restodP Just so
it scorned to Ralph Anderson for tho
first fow minutes after ho came into tho
room. Look wliorovcr ho would, nt
tlio gilt wall-paper, tlio pictures, tho
carved moldings, or oven into tlio fa
ces of tho Misses Montford, a pnlo ollvo
face, with great lustrous startled oyes,
seemed to look out at and confront him.
But af tor a littlo it woro away so that ho
could obsorvo his now friends.
Miss Althea Montford was a light
haired young lady not particularly
young, cithor with a ruddy complex
ion and very palo bluo eyes. Sho had a
very largo- 1 may say extremely largo
noso, of tho Roman stylo of architect
ure, which was, without exaggeration,
tho most prominent thing about her.
Without knowing anything about her,
ono would be pretty apt' to think hor ro
served and haughty, and perhaps a lit
tlo unscrupulous. I don't think you
would bo inclined to change your mind
much after j ou did know nor.
Mis3 Funnio Montford was not much
liko hor sister in any way. Sho was
slight and sallow, with pleasant, hazel
eyes, and heavy dark brown hair that
drooped low over hor forehead, which
was low, but broad and full. Shu
talked some, whon hor sister, who al
ways took tho le"ad in everything, was
not talking; when sho was, sho busied
herself very contentedly over somo sort
of worsted embroider'.
If Miss Blnucho Arnold had searched
tho country through sho could not havo
found a bettor foil to hor eloar, rare
boauty, than either of tho Miss Mont
fords furnished. Something of this
thought crept into Ralph's mind, but he
rather fancied Miss Fannie, despito her
plainness. Her thin, sallow faeo light
ed up when she talked, but more espec
ially when she smiled, and contrary to
tlio general judgment, ho called hor
much hotter looking than hor sister, and
ho didn t feel so much in awe of hor,
and whilo Miss Althea and his cousin
were examining a Capo Jessamine,
whoso snowy blossoms filled tho room
with its heavy perfume, ho ventured to
ask her tho namo of tho young lady who
showed them. In.
"Young lady? Oyes," sho said with
a faint smile. "A protty, briglit-oyod
littlo girl, wasn't itP It is a new maid
servant my father hired yesterday. Wo
don't usually tako a servant without a
recommendation."
"Nor would wo now, if I had my
way," interrupted Miss Althea, in a se
vere tone.
"But sho wished so much to stay,
you know," interrupted Fannie, dopro
catlngly. "O, it's tho young person who an
swered tho bell that you aro asking of,
is it?" said Blanche. "Do you knowP
Cousin Ralph, hero, was quito struck
with hor; if you will boliovo mo, girls,"
and she laughed a little soft, musical
laugh.
"She looked very much liko ono I
used to love, who is dead now," Ralph
said, graoly, his oyes darkening just a
littlo, and a'fa'.nt wave of' color swoop
ing to bis temples.
"Forgive mo, dear cousin Ralph,"
Blanche said, laying hor hand on his
with a protty, penitent gesture. "I shall
bo so unhappy if you are vexed with
mo! I was only in jest," and tho gray
oyes looked up into his with such a
griovod, troubled look, that ho forgaui
her instantly, and was more fascinated
than before.
"It is something rather strange
about this girl, I mean," said Miss
Montford. "She camo to tho ofllcc and
asked for my father, so tho postmaster
told Victor this morning. Sho asked to
seo him when she camo, and Dale, I think
it was, showed her into tlio library
whore papa was, alone. Tho first I
know became into tho dining-room with
her, and said ho had engaged Miss
Bla'"o hor name is Stella Blake as
waiting-maid, and gcnoral assistant
about tiio houso. I remonstrated, and
told him wo needed no more servants:
but I think tho girl must have bewitched
him with those uncanny oyes of hers;
ho declared that wo did need hor, and
sho should May. And so, if ho chooses
to pay hor, I supposo ho can, and sho
will stay."
"Sho is very quick and handy, and
has exquisite taste in arranging a table,"
Fannio said, quietly.
Almost unconsciously to himself
Ralph gave her a pleased, grateful
glance. Sho smiled slightly, and tho
thin, sallow faco Hushed just a littlo.
Just then tlio door oponed, and Mr.
Alfred DoVrios walked leisurely and
quietly inU tlio room.
Ralph hud never seen him s'neo that
Soptcmbor morning, eight years before,
when standing on tlio dripping, wreok
strown beach, ho had watched him
kneoling by tho littlo ledgy mound of
sand and kolp. And yot ho should havo
known him anywhere, ho paid to him
self. Tho tall, elegant form was as
litho and graceful, tlio stop as assured,
the hair as dark and abundant, and the
full, jetty beard as glossy and hand
some It seemed so strange, when lie had
changed so much, that this man looked
as if tinio had stood still with him, But
there woro faint lines horo and there
about tho o)'os and mouth which had
not been thoro eight years boforo, but
with tho casual glance ho had then had
of him, ho did not notice about that.
Tho gonoral contour and expression of
faco and form woro tho samo.
Whon Ralph shook hands with Mr.
DoVrios and looked in his oyes thoso
ourious, metallic, yellow-brown eyes it

ho thought to himself.
Somo ono outside broko out whistling
"God savo tho Queen," and a momont
moro a light foot-step ran up tho long
marble stops, passed through tho en
trance and hall in a gay, breezy way,
and opened tho door. Ho stopped
short, and colored to tho roots of his
curly auburn hair, upon seeing that
there was company, or rather upon
sooing who tho company was. Ralph,
who had nothing else to do just then,
watched him, and saw how eagerly, but
shyly, his oyes sought Blanche's, and
ho fancied she, too, colored just a
littlo. Ho felt moro voxed and an
noyed than ho would havo believed it
possiblo for him to feel about so simple
a tiling.
Tlion Miss Montford said, smilingly,
looking on tho fair, handsome young
faco, which was frank and opon as tho
day, with a littlo, quick, fond look:
"Captain Andorson, this is my young
brother, Victor."
" Ho camo forward with easy, gonial
frankness, and oxtonded his hand.
Thoro was something peculiarly swcot
and winning about tho boyish face, for
ho did not Took his twenty-ono years.
And the littlo twingo of jealousy that
had just trembled across Ralph's con
sciousness shrunk away out of sight bo
foro tlio pleasant smile and warm hand
shake of this youngest and fairest of tho
houso of Montford.
" I am so glad to seo you," ho said,
cordially. "Blanche has told us so
much of you; and thou your sou voyages
havo seemed something wonderful to
me do you know that you aro a sort of
Robinson Crusoe to my admiring fan
cy P" laughing ploasantly.
"I havo no man Friday," Ralph said,
laughing, too.
"Nop No matter. But wo will omit
tho part of Friday. I am so glad you
camo up!" ho said again, with naive
frankness.
Whatovor onesttld of Mr. Montford,
or ids daughters, or his confidential
agent, Air. DeVrics, everybody was
unanimous in declaring Victor Montford
a "tip-top follow." High-soulod, chiv
alrous, gentle, sweet tempered and
open-hoarted, he at least was worthy to
represent tho " gentle blood" tho Mont
fords boasted.
"Mother," Ralph said, thoughtfully,
after Blaneho hail loft him mm driven
away, " did you over think, or try to
think, how Viola would havo looked if
sho had lived?"
Ho camo and sat down beforo hor,
and looked wistfully iu.hurfaco, his own
grave and thoughtful.
"Yes, Ralph; but I cannot think of
hor as anything but a child. Sho will
always be a child to mo. Perhaps tlio
dead'grow old, but 1 always think of my
baby as a baby still, and Viola always
comes to mo as I saw hor last. Sho
stood on tiptoe, holding opojn tho door
a littlo, and kissing her hand to mo
with a light rippling laugh. There was
a sunny sparkle in her beautiful eyes,
and I remember that hor hat was on
one side, and hor hair was lying loose
and tangled about hor neck. J can seo
every motion and gesture I have boon
over them so many times as if it woro
but yesterday, even to tho precise pat
tern of tlio embroidery on nor crimson
merino dress. You rcmomber tlio
dress, Ralph? She had it on tho night
of tlio wrock. Tho salt water didn't
hurt it a bit, though I remember I
thought it would, and that I should
havo to wash it; but I just rinsed it up
and down in somo clear water, and
hung it up without wringing, and it
looked as nice as now. Sho never wore
it again till wo started to come out
bore. What a comfort sho would havo
been to us whon you aro away, Ralph,
if sho had lived."
Sho sighed, and put hor hand up over
her eyes.
"I supposo it is all right," sho said,
still shading hor eyes with her hand;
"I suppose everything is, but 1 can't
always seo it as vour father docs. I am
sure 1 try, and I know 'tis so, but
things seem so dark sometimes! They
did when your grandfather was
drowned."
"I will toll you," said Ralph, "what
I had in my mind whon I asked you if
you ever thought how our lost Viola
would havo looked if sho had grown to
womanhood. J havo ofton busied my
self fancying tlio sort of woman sho
would havo made, and how sho would
have looked. Well, you know I havo
boon up to Mr. Montford's to-day, but
you wonder what that has to do with it,
J seo by your face what a transparent
faco you have got, littlo mother!" And
getting up, ho came and stood behind
her chair, and loaned over and took hor
faco in his hands and drew it back and
kissed it. "I wish 1 could read
Blaucho' s face as easily as I can yours,"
ho added, blushing, and then laughing
to turn it oil". "What a faco that girl
has got!"
" Sho is very handsome!"
" Yes; but it isn't just that, I mean,"
ho interrupted.
" I think Blanche likes you, Ralph;
and if you think that is," she stam
mered confusedly, "if you two should
liko eacli other well enough to to mar
ry somo day, it would bo splendid."
"O mother! Blaneho is. too elegant
and accomplished for a fellow liko mo
to think of, ho said, doprecatingly. but
a faint smile softened his lips and eyes
-a faint, dreamy smile, which showed
the thought was rather pleasant than
otherwise.
" You seo if Viola had lived I should
havo hoped you would havo liked each
other. It would not havo seemed like a
stranger's coming into tlio family. But
since that cannot be, Blanche is tlio
next choico of my heart. But, of course,
I don't expect you to ploaso mo: I
only mentioned it becuuso I fancied you
Hashed into ids mind
woro mutually pleased with each other,
and Tom and I thought it would bo
ploaant to havo it so. Tom likes you
so much!"
"I'm grootly obliged to him," Ralph
said, with n laugh, "but I'm sure I don't
know why ho should; ho doesn't know
much about mo may bo that Is tho rea
son! Well, now I am going to tell you
what I attempted at first Thoro is a
girl- somo sort of a waiting-maid, or
servant of somo kind at Mr. Mont
ford's, who looks just as I havo fancied
Viola would if she had lived to bo a
woman. Sho is very slight and fragile
looking, but for a certain indoniltnblo
air and expression which give hor a
sort of subtile strength. You romom
hor that peculiarity in Viola. This girl,
whose namo is Stella Blake, camo to ad
mit us this morning, and I was so
startled by hor rcsomblanco to Viola
not so much a rcsomblanco as to what
sho was, as to what 1 thoiurht sho would
havo boon that I was guilty of tho rude
ness oi staring at nor, l tear, very im
portinoiitly." " How doos sho lookP I wish I could
soo her," Mrs. Andorson said, eagerly.
" She is, as I said slight, with a palo
olive skin, and jetty oyo.s and hair. But
that doson't glvo you an 'idea about hor
looks at nil, lor that rests so much upon
expression, and sho has got tho most
oxpresslvo faco not after Blanche's
stylo, Blaucho controls her face, this
girl docs not with eyes that look liko
smoldering volcanoes; Mrs. Montford
calls thoin 'uncanny.' By tho way,
what sort of a man is this DoVrlcs? It
always socmed to mo that ho know
more about Viola than ho was willing
to toll. It is rather odd, isn't it, that
wo should happen to bo neighbors?"
"I don't know, I novor thought much
of it. 1 novor saw him but once; then
ho called here, and very naturally tho
conversation turned on tho shipwreck.
Ho scorned to fool cry badly whon I
talked with him about tho sad fate of
littlo Viola. Ho Baid ho had been slop
ping in England and on tho Continent
homo months, settling up tho business
affairs of Mr. Montford, who had como
to America with his family tho previous
May. Ho had completed his business,
and being at Havre, lie took passngo
in tho Lo Brun in preference to waiting
for tho regular steamer a week. Thoro
woro but llvo or six passongers, and this
Mrs. Mallard lie thinks tlio namo was
Mallard, as ho remembered seeing it so
recorded, and ho remembers distinctly
hearing tlio Captain address hor by that
title and hor child woro among thorn,
but ho only saw tho child; tho lady
seemed sutloriug under somo nervous
malady."
"Why didn't you toll him what Viola
said about hor mother's being so af
fected when sho saw himP" interrupted
Ralph.
" I did, but I am positive. Ralph, that
sho was mistaken. You would havo
becu If you had seen how pained and sur
prised no was that tho child should havo
landed such a thing. Ho said if ho had
thought of such a possibility ho should
not havo rested till ho had removed tho
erroneous impression from tho child's
mind, if ho had mado tho journey from
tho Weston purpose. Ho'thinks'illnoss.
and tho excitement of the storm, added
to her half-drowned condition, turned
tho poor woman's brain, and your father
and I think so, now. But it doesn't
matter since both aro dead. Did you
see Mr. MontfoidP" sho asked, after a
moment of silence.
"No, not tlio senior Mr. Montford. I
saw Mr. Victor Montford a lino young
follow, too, I judge."
" Yes; but why I asked, no ono see?
much of Mr. , Gilbert Montford, only
when ho drives out, or something of
that kind. Somo think ho is not quite
as clover as peoplo in gonoral, and that
is why ho keeps this DoVrios to attend
to all his business a'' airs. May bo,
howovor, it's tho English way of doing
things; I presume 'tis. But no ono over
goes to Mr. Montford on any business
matter whatever, but always to Mr. Do
Vries, who negotiates loans, invests all
monoys, and pays all claims."
" Do you mean that ho is not bright,
this Mr. Montford?" Ralph itbkod,
looking surprised.
" O dear no, not that, really. Only
that ho isn't as shrewd and capable, per
haps, as some, and uny one who was
keen might tako advantage of him, you
see; but perhaps it is only surmise."

Mr. Alfred DoVrios did not quito liko
tho now servant at Montford House.
j Ono thing particularly ho did not liko,
and that was tho way in which tlio en
gagement was made. It was something
quite unusual ioi- iur. lonnoni u tauo
business into his own hands in this way,
and Mr. DoVrios felt as if his rights
had been invaded.
Toi-haps I might as well say horo, as
anywhere, that Mr. Gilbert was not as
clover as somo peoplo his privato Sec
retary, for instance. Ho was ono of
thoso peoplo who aro characterized as
having "moro money than brains."
Therefore, to make up for that lack,
Air. DuVrles. who was In nnii'tk t.hn

he made a good tiling out of it, at least

all social and domestic matters, thoro
really hcemcd no reason why ho should
