A FAMILY AFEAIE
BY HUGH OONWAY ,
Author of "Called SacW and "Dark Days. '
The Rov. . . n . ( Ho , when ho
thanked Hen vcn for Iho many blessings it had
bestowal upon him , alvraya oxceptedlhonamo
ho bore from the list. It vrus , ho told lihnself ,
ft particularly torrlhlo name < loubly so when
its owner was n clergyman , llo felt it to bo
provocative of laughter , if not of contempt.
Even as n How.ird , aTnlhot , n Hontmorency ,
or ft rinntngenet is called upon to llvo up to
the great name ho bears , Mr. Mordlo found it
incumbent on himself to endeavor to Hvo
nway from his singular designation. To
counteract the sinister effects of such o
nonio ho felt compelled to nflcct nn nlr
of cheerfulness even under the most trying
circumstances vhlch fully justify n man's
looking lugubrious. Ho considered his
nnino n great drawback to him iu his
professional career. The gift which every
young clergyman fancies ho potasses , of
preaching impassioned sermons , was sadly
Buornbyhis name. Ill this ] > crvcrtcd ngo ,
when puns nro not considered sign * of social
depravity , Mr. Mordlo felt sure that a tear in
his eye even the delivery of n pathetic ser
mon would bo fntal. Iho least lachrymose
tendency in manner or words would present
too great n temptation to bo resisted by weak
human nature ; in splto of the best Intentions
the word "mordling" must suggest itself.
A Buruamo ono can not cheese any moro
than ono can cheese a dark or n fair skin ;
but whilst the curate was willing to nllow
that the name of Mordlo was nn unavoidable
congenital misfortune , its conjunction with
Sylvnnus ho looked upon as n foul crime , and
reviled the godfathers and godmothers who
had tacked such n soft-sounding appellation
on to Mordle.
On the principle of living it down , ho was
always brisk nnd cheery in lilt manner. It
was novcr too hot , never too cold , never too
sunny , never the windy for Iho Sylvanus
Mordlo. IIo preached almost merryKcrmons ,
conveyed in riiort , incisive sentence's , rattled
out in n quick , decisive , quite-boyond-doubt |
way. His phrabcs followed ouo another like
the dclonalioim of a cracker. They scorned
designed to Map the listener on the breast ,
and hammer and hammer nuay at that sin-
hardcucd receptacle , as if meaning by asci-ics
of repealed blows to cnforco conviction and
obedience. They were crisp , strong , muscular
exhortations , eminently suited to the spiritual
needs of the poorer parishioners. Only when
ho preached a funeral sermon could Mr. Mor
die's style bo cavilled at. On such an occasion
ho was bound to bo doubly careful not to gel
his manner mixed up with his name , so some
times his discourse did not quite satisfy the
bereft relations and grieving friends.
But a funcial sermon was only duo to n de

position ; moreover , Oakbury is n healthy
spot , and filiaii an important death did occur
the rector was usually in his place to do his
duty. So the Rov. Sylvanus managed very
well.
well.For
For the rest , ho was n man of about thirty ,
pleasant-looking and popular , not disdainfa
of the good things of this world , yet not han
kering after them doing the w hole woik of n
curate and three-fourths of that of ft rector
for ono hundred and twenty pound * n year.
It was lucky ho liad a good constitution andn
small fortune of Ids own I
This afternoon Mr. Mordlo felt the Tal-
berts' excti s no slight to himself. He
begged the brothers might not bo disturbed.
IIo was quito content that Mks Clauson
should entertain him tcle-a-tcte as long as
possible. Ho inquired if any HOWS had ar
rived about the missing mother ; then , turn
ing his attention to the child , went through a
variety of these little actions which growu-up
people , rightly or wrongly , suppose ingra
tiate children. Noticing how the pretty boy
clung to lieatrico ho complimented her on
her rapid conquest of his affections a com
pliment iu which Miss Clauson might have
found a deeper meaning lurking had she
cared to look for it. Ho would have called
much earlier to learn what had transpired ,
but had been compelled to attend a. funeral
several mile1) olF. Ho alluded to the melan
choly reason for his delay with as much
cheerfulness 03 many people mention a wed'
ding.
"And where are your uncles ? " ho asked.
"In the housekeeper's room , " answered
Beatrice , demurely.
"Busy , of coui > o Saturday. Bad day to
call. "What nro they about now ? "
At ho jerked out his short sentences ,
Beatrice glanced at him and bmr his oyea
twinkling. She could not help smiling.
"Well what is it ? " Diked Mr. Mordle.
The girl gave a little gurgle of laughter.
The curate once moro repeated liis question.
"Oh , Mr. MorJle , " said Beatrice , "they are
doing the clotlieo ! "
"Quito right ; some ono must do them.
No\v I wonder , " ho continued in a moro re
flective way than usual , "I wonder if they
look them out for the wash on Mondays. "
"Oh , no ; not ro bad as that. But did you
over know anything bo funny ? "
"Took you by surprise , of courser1 said the
curate briskly.
"Yes. I had heard :
something about it , but
the reality overwhelmed me. Undo Horace
doing wool-woik was my first experience.
The nest morning I found Uncle Herbert
doling out stores to the cook. And to ECO them
manage the house better than uny womanl" ,
"Delightful. I could tell you some very
amusing things , Miss Clausou. "
"Please don't. Thoyarosokiud nndnmiable '
I can't bear to laugh ut them. "
"Thoy nro kind. I Ibv& them dearly. What
my poor people would do without them I can't i
think. If they'll leave you enough to do ,
you'ro certain to bo happy hero. "
Beatrice smiled. She remembered Iho horroi
they liad displayed at the bare thought of hot
having any part in thedomcsticarraiujcment )
of Hazlowood House. It seemed to Mr. Mordle .
j.
'hat ho liad ; io\ei'fcoen Miss Clauson look so '

looked mobt lovingly at the child , who , tired
if his play , lay peacefully on her lap.
"But I Imvo not enough to do , " she said ,
ier hand the w hllo caressing the boy's golden
iiead. "Mr. Monllo , I wish you would help
mo in something , "
"Anything o very thing command me , "
said tha curate , in his quickest , most decisive
rt'ay.
"I Iiavo taken mich a fancy to this dear
little man , that , supposing his people do not
reveal themrclvcs , I want to persuade my
nicies to let mo keep Mm. I could bo so

Mr. Mordle , the adviser of the family , tm (
Herbert Talbert thus brought on her side 01
rendered neutral , Iloraco remained the arbita
of the l > oy's fate , nnd Miss Clauson directed
nil her energies toward making him yield.
Like n clover girl f-ho took euro that thi
young intmdcr should bo no uuhaneo to on ]

They tacitly left hiifato in nboyancofoi

haps trembled lest some childish net of mis
chief might defeat her ends , and who though !
that the boy had well done his part in the of

tacked her tmdrs once more. True to h

This answer assured Horace that Herbe

Her mouth quivered. It was clear she ha

Herbert , regretfully.
Miss Claubou drew herself up proudly ,
was an action the Talberts always liked t
FOO in the gill , and which had agrcatcffec
on them.
"Surely , " she said , "you of all people ni
above suspicion ml scan Jail"
They were pleated to think this wosth
truth. They felt that Beatrice was right
What , after all , had scandal to do with them
The domestic virtues nnd clockwork reguln
tlon of Hazlowood House might defy th
breath of the most censorious world. As till
great truth came homo to him Horace seemei
to pun- with pleasure.
But ho had no intention of yielding. He
was for ono thing much annoyed with Her
bert. Herbert evidently wanted the boy to
stay. If so ho should say BO outright , not IP
Beatrice light hia battles. So the most Bui
trice could get him to promise was that the
boy might remain for a few days longer.
In these few days something happened.
First of all a piece of gossip went round the
neighborhood nnd eventually reached the
cars of these who were gossiped nbout thc-
Tolberls. They heard that theywero har
boring Lord lladwynn's eldest son , whcsf
my.stcrious disappearance had beenicporK !
in the papers. Lord Hadw31111 was an ntte :
-cprobato , and it was well known that in
injured vsito had smuggled the child out of
his way. Lady Hadwynn was an acquaint
ance of the Talbcrts ; so that oven Horace
w as f or n moment staggered when ho heard
the theoiy propounded by his neighbors.
Then some kind creature wrote to the bereft
husband , and his lordship rushed down to
Oakbury fierce as n consuming flame a flame (
which resolved itself into wnoko when ho
woaehown the boy , nnd found liim noth
ing like his missing son. After this , gossip
should have died a natural death , but it did
not. People who nro determined to swallow
n monstrous tale will lick it into the sbapo
they can deal with best. In spite of the Tal
berts' strenuous denials and plain statement as
to how the child was thrown upon their >
hands , everybody would have it that if : not
Lord Hadwynn's son ho was someone clso's
meaning some one , a nobleman's probably ,
whoso wife liad , for private reasons of her
own , intrusted him to the Talberts. :
Even thoicputationof being a harbor of
refuge for a duchess or countess in her dis >
tress is a ilntteriug thing ; and the Talberts ,
especially Horace , felt pleased while laugh
ing at the absurd idea. Pei haps it was for
this reason that Horace at last yielded to his :
niece's solicitations and Obtouisked her ono
lay by saying :
"Beatrice , if you really mean to keep that
hild for a while , wo will eiigago a nurse
ror it. "
She said nothing , but gave Uncle Iloraco n.
nest grateful kiss. She must have grown
voiidrously fond of the baby , as her eyes
vero full of glad tears.
That afternoon she drove into Blacktown
ind rigged the child out from head to foot in
low and dainty lalincnt ; nothing was too good
'or him. Horace and Herbert , w ho know the
irico of lace , law us and cambrics to n , penny
yard , wondered how far her whim was go
ng to carry her. Perliaps they felt rather
iggriovcd that their aid had not been asked.
ihoy dearly loved a little bhopplng , iiud could
lave chosen a trousseau or a layctto with any
roniou under the sun.
But the affair of the nursemaid was pocu-
larly their own. If the Tnlbcrls had ono ' .

lien they called on a lady for n maid's char iuCO

ircliing nn' cogent nature. They wcro not
tibfled with the broad assertion tluit she was
her , honest and cleanly ; they cross-exam- be
ad until they found out all the weak and bem
eng pointa in her composition , then engaged m :
r or not , as they thought best. Many u
ufldltig young woman , who fancied , In going Cl
to the kervico of two rich bachelor guntlo- llv

' At liut , nf UT a number of intcrrlows with
TJtndldales , they found ft nurse-girl who came
up to the standard of their requirements. Ono
who had no followers , and who made no ob
jection to wearing a cap moreover , the cap
of the iwittorn they had themselves designed.
A member of the Church of England , of
course , w ho promised to communicate every
two month * , find to bo contented with Dorset
butter during the winter.
So the in. rious child was as good as
adopted nt Hazlowood House ,
i A serious que ion arosfl ns to whether the
Infanthad over been christened. Miss Clauson
felt sure it had been. The cMld came to them
lee well dressed to suppose Buchaninixrtiut ]
rite had boon omitted. The Rev. Sylvnuus ,
who was knowm to bo disgracefully lax about
such matteiv , did not urge that assurance
should bo iniulo doubly euro , BO no baptismal
ceremony look place. After some cofilia
tion it w as decided that the boy shoulc1 bo
known as Henry.
( "Ilenryi" wld Uncle Horace , "is ft safe
name , thorougMy adaptable to any station in
life.
So Henry it was. The surname they left in
abeyance , trusting tlint time or chance
might some day reveal it.
Every article of clothing worn by the child
on its arrival was folded up , mid together
with the direction cord placed in the big safe.
They might hereafter bo needed for the pur
poses of identification.
So Beatrice Clnusou was conflrmed in the
possession of her toy her toy I In n month's
time little Harry was every one's toy. The
Talbert thomscl ves w ere ashamed to say how
glad they wore that Beatrice's whim had been
carried out , but it was currently reported
that shortly afterwards , when the boy was
suffering from some transient childish ail
ment , the two tall brothers were seen intently
poring over that interesting work , Dr. Bull's
"Hints to Mothers ! " But Uns I believe , was
scandal.
CHAPTER VH.
THE OKEAT J0XE AUDIT.
The wisest sometimes niako mistake * . The
most careful housekeeper has boon known to
spoil ft pudding by putting salt instead of
sugar on it Let it then bo no detraction from
the Talbcit' general administrative ability
that the uurso girl turned out badly. They
had xcu ? bo biiccessful with cooks , parlor
maids , house maids and kitchcu maids that
their failure hi this ono instance must not bo
considered.
The girl's misdeeds need not bo detailed ,
sufllco it to sny the culmination of them was
this : Hoiaco and Heibcrt driving up the lane
ouo evening saw tv young man and woman
embracing vigorously , and generally having n
happy time of it. They could not recognize
the girl , but felt sure she was ono of their
household , so the discreet Whit taker was or
dered to wait nt the Bide door nnd send tha
first arrival to Ms masters.
Of course , she repelled the accusation. She
liad indeed stepped out for ft minute , to post
a letter to her aged mother , but as for tpcak-
ing to , much less kissing , a man well , she
novcr did 1 Alas , for feminine veracity ! On
the back of her piint dress was the impres
sion of four fingers nnd n thumb , printed
there in good blackmold , for itwns nn under
gardener who had succumbed to her charms.
It was Herbert who , while Horace o xjstu-
latcd , was seated at the table and so HXW hel
back , who drew attention to this damning
evidence. This gave rise to impertinence and
a mouth's warning , given in the most dig
nified and calm wny by her masters.
They decided to engage an older and staider
body , and being perhaps rather crestfallen al
lowed Miss Clausen to have iv voice in the
matter. Ono morning n quiet-looking , pale-
faced woman waited upon them. She heard
that a nuito was wanted and offered her serv
ices. Character she had 110110 to give , hav
ing be0 ! ! out of service for seine years ; but
plenty of people would speak for her respect
ability. The Taltorts were much taken with
her general demeanor ; but hummed nnd
hawed when they found she did not come red-
hot from n , place. Horace examined her at
tentively through his oye-glaws.
"Haven't I seen you before ? ' ' ho asked.
"Ye , Fir. I lived many years ngo with
Mr. Morton , of Cavendish square. You were
often at the house , "
She raid her name was Sillier , and that she
was a widow. She spoke well , and in that ro-
pcctfiil , but not servile , way which thoTal-
berts liked. If they could bring themselves
to get over the absence of credentials , and
ileny themselves the pleasure of calling on
uml cross-examining a former mistress , they
thought ihis woman might do.
Beatrice hod no doubt about it ; nnd upon
such inquiries as could bo made being an
swered satisfactorily , Mrs. Miller was in
stalled in the place of the frail failure whoso
scapado with the gardener had lowered the
rvholo moral tone of the establishment. A
Uiddy gill in a bachelor's ublishinent
ncans destruction.
But Mrs. Miller was a very different mat-
cr. ML < Clau = on found her perfection
litnulc-handcd , kind and experienced moro-
ver , quite qualified to fulfill the duties of
ady's maid w hen occasion reqni" > d. WMl-
akcr approved of her. She was n coadjutor
iftcr Ms own respectable hcai t. The flrstono
o bo considered , the boy , took to her as read- )
ly us ho had taken to Beatrice. Horac o nnd
Iu-bert , in spite of the sharp lookout they
iepfcfor u while , could find no Haw in her
ionduct , and w hen nt the end of two months
hey ascertained that she bad used less f.oap
bur cakes less than her pi edeccssor had dur- [
ug her hhort htuy , they began to think they
lad acquired a lieasuro.
"For the child looks as clean as over , " paid
Icrbort to Horace "I always felt sure that
Irl left the soap in the hot water and forgot
11 about it. "
The last winter months and the spring
lonths ixibbcd very quietly at Hazlowood
Ibuso. The Talberts and their nleco dined
ccasionally with the best families in the
eigliborhood , and in return the Talbcrts
sked the best families to ( line with them. The
ivcn days' Wonder about the boy liad almost
led away. Everyone , of course , felt sure ho
as somebody , but no ono knew what body.
thcio wasanybcandflltho seieno brothers
card it not. Itistruo thatold LadyBowker ,
very important jwreonago , paid them n vlbit
a purpose to find out all about everything ,
ho had known the Talbcrts as boyn , so felt
itltlod to ask them point blank for an oxplan-
tion. People who have known you us n
oy are , as ft rule , great nul.sanccs.
She told them bhe wanted to h ] > cak to them
it private business , so Beatrice left the room ,
lieu she turned fi om ono to the other of the
rave , long-faced men :
"Now , Horace ; now , Herbert , what is the
leaning of this affair ? Who is the boy you
ro making such ft fuss about I"
"I don't think wo over make fusses , " sold
crbert in a deprecating way.
"Ceitalnly not , " tald Horace , withdocision.
"Well , mysteries then ; wo nil want to know
ho this child really Is the child who came
the dead of night wrapped up in an anti-
laeassor or something came by Pickfonl's
an , I am told. "
"I wish you could tell us , Lady Bonker.
fa know no moro than you do. "
"That's all nonsense , Horace. I hear you
ivo engaged a nurse , and that the child is to
ay with you. I tliiiik you nro mobt incon-
dorate. "
"Wo are never inconsiderate , " said Horace.
"Certainly not , " wild his brother.
"Yes , you are , You are inconsiderate hi " |
t letting lit least ono bafe , disci oct person *
to the becret. Some ono like mytclf who
mid vouch for you. "
"AVo don't wont to bo vouched for. "
"Yes , you do I don't pee that you are any
stter than other peoplo. "
Lady Bouker was growing cross at their
ild obstinacy.
"You are most inconsiderate towards Miss
lausou , Hcio , ft wc-lc nftertho cornea to
ro with you , tMs infant makes its appear-
ico. Of coun > o jMX > plo bay you wcro only

" U'liat else cau they gay ? I don't say so ;

"I don't l > cliovo ft word of it , " said Lady
Bowker rudely , and rising to go. The brothers
smiled calmly.
"You w 111 only have yourselves to blame for
the scandal , " continued their visitor. Still
they smiled.
"Dear Lndy Bowker , " said Horace , poft-

Lady Bowker drove nway in a thorough
bad temper , but feeling more certain than

she managed to convey to most people the
impression that she was in t bo secret.
"Lady Bow kcr is a trifle vulgar sometimes , "
Gold Horace sadly.
"She is , " assented Herbert
It was a painful tUng for them to bo com'
polled to make such an accusation against n
well-known member of the aristocracy ; but
they wcro conscientious men , and si > eke tha
