L0VK CROWNED. The Result of Taking for Lodging Seven Room and a Bath By Belle Moses. Seven nanus and a With. "trooI locality; three flights up; tdcum ht-uttsl. Inuire on premises," atl.lttl Dorothea after announcing the nljttve title with much iinpn-sM-nH-iit. Ros:ilie K-ttlnwn her collee rtij) with an aniiiii.tioii which thrcntcuetl wrioun lainair to frail china, while Evelyn in her sunny corner looketi up fnun the cluster of fcrim he wait piiintinn, full of the livelier interest. "That Moun.Ia very plausil.le," she ols-rve, leisurely mixing two i,lia.l.-H of jrrtvil upon her jmlctte. "What tlo ytm think of it, iKirothea?' "What 1 you think of it, Ikwalie?" inquired HonKluii, wirryinjr, ai wil- her custom, one tmcsti.m with another. "Seven r.ins are n-ally t ninny for our neetls," Haiti the pru.letit eldest sis ter ; "so uiu.-h to ke-) in tinier without a servant." "Don't worry, we'll keep the place ti.ly Hoiuehow. Kvc-lyn can tlust on ilark days when the liffitt l poor for her Iii-tun-s, ami I tluriuir those black jicriotls when inspirjlion fails, ami so U-twixt us lxtli, like Jack Sprat and his wife of ancient fame, we'll lick the platt.r cleun,'" intcriMi-scd Ix.n.thca. "And with you at the helm, dear, we can't ret stranded," remarked Kvelyu insi ii iiat iuply. "Rut seveii name.," (rriunisl Rosa lie; "and two are not alwaya what they should U-." "Don't Hatter y.msclf that fate has n-servwl for us seven Uirns the size f this apartment," said D.ir.itht-a with tine scorn. "F'roiii Flora's description I should ju.ljfe that an ovoralmiulanee of Koe was not a Ica.linir feature of our eml.ryo c-siablishment. Then I've cal culated, w ilh the necessary parlor, tlin in room and kit.-lit-n, a Uilnmni ea-h maiden unto herself, an.! a little den when you can make your mud pies in jicacc, is not too much to take care of, and I move that we set our seal upon Flora's discovery as sNin as ji-.s-sil.le." "I stsiMid tlie motion," cried Evelyn spritijr'mi; up with alacrity. "Well, so la? it," said Rosalie, with a resigned air, as she put on her hat. And so it was in less than n week. The thn-e sisters with their liumennis liel.insrings had taken ssession of their new tjUiirtcrs, well satistietl with the change from the dull monotony of their former life. It was a novel sensation to these girl to find themselves once more in a ntd substantial home, however, small and unpretending, for years since their mother's death they had slniirgled mi in their dreary lodinirs, ckeing out their meagre income by a practical ap plication of their various talents. Ro salie fashioned cornices and artistic plaster moulding for the Interior deco ration of liuildiiifrs, while she waited ftr the pilden opjairtunity for which she lonred the leisure to model the figure of a woman that should only lack the breadth of life to crown her lerfection, a creation that should ios sess more than the sensual lcauty which c-austsl l'yirnialii.n to fall in love with hi- own work. She wished to show the world a woman in all the glory of her nineteenth century devel opment and a foreshadowing of future possibilities. Irothea wnte short newspajer ar ticles, witli her treasured novel hidden in her desk awaiti up the few crumlis she was able to fling to it from time to time, some of her best thoughts prolm bly, but in a crude state, just as they slipped off her ready pen. She had longings, too, though her ambition took no definite shape, like Rosalie's. It was not one woman that she wished to pict ure, but men and women without num ber, who posed in many positions la fore the world. Rat all this would tike time, .which could ill la? sjiared when the monthly bills came down np'tti them like so many crnws to pick the lames of genius. And Evelyn, a iussinate lover of nature, was ambitious too. She want ed to scatter thetsl.tr of garden and fields through the flowers and grasses she so skillfully paintetL "If I could make my nses smell I believe I should die happy," she would often say, when her sisters or frien.Lsexpressed their ad miration of some specially gol effort. Meantime, the dainty creations found a ready market, and practical Evelyn went cheerfully on with her work, ad ding more than her sliare to tlie fami ly excheijuer and patiently waited fur the happy day when she might roam through the smiling country under the blue sky and paiut nature at her best. And such was the trio that settled down to enjoy life in seven nanus aud a bath ! A truly remarkable family, one might aay. Not at all. Tltcy were merely aalious each to reap the benefit of lK-r one gift, and working truly for that end succeeded, as earest workers often do, and enjoyed with all tlie lest of youth the fruit of their labor. Rut the space was cramped, as Doro thea redieted, and when geniu sim ntercd it was apt to be brought to a sud'len lialt by some ldily IsJinp, the result of personal coutact with odd c it ESTABLISHED 1827. ners and jutting angles. After a week's sojourn, however, in spite of various bruises and other mishaps of little iu-ten-st to the uninitiated, they unani mously voted their miniature house keeping a great suctvss. "Even though R-tsalle lets in pneu monia through all the windows or Do rothea goes to the other extn-me and smothers us with steam heat," com mented Evelyn, as they sat in family conclave, adding up accounts. "I must have air," said Rosalie with an expressive gesture of her shajs-ly hands, the firm, strong hands of the true sculpture. "And I my money's worth," put to iK.nithca. "I hate to think of paying for seven rooms and a bath, steam heat ed, without enjoying tlie full bill." "On the principle that you would prefer a stn-ct-car ride fnmi start to finish for the sake of getting as much as Mmsible for your fan. Itomthea, I'm ashamed of you," oliscrved Evelyn severely. "It is not that I am niggardly," urg ed Dorothea, apologetically ; but I firm ly lielieve the world could la? worked on a much more economical plan. Take, for example, your stn-ct car. Nine-tenths of the 1 ctple who ride neither start from the beginning nor finish ut the terminus. Were I a Re former with (Niwerl would suggest that as each iassciigvr reach his or her desti nation the conductor should say : "Sir (or ma.laiii, as the case may la), I find you have still some distance due ytm on your fare. Allow me to n-turn the amount owing you by the com pany." "And suppose the amount is the frac tional part of a cent what then?" ask ed Rosalie, laughing. "Oh, they might give bills of credit, livable at any time on the line." "An.l institute a system of !kkce ing to complicate the simplest transac tion. I'm afraid your plan wouldn't work, Dorothea ; your idea is too fur ahead of the times anil the is-oplc, and meanwhile " "There is Flora's knock," Interrupt ed Evelyn as she hastened to oja-u the door. "Well, girls, are you settled ?" asked tile new comer as she tak her seat among them. "uite comfortably, thanks to you. There is nothing more to wish for local ly," n-turncd Rosalie. "The moms, I must admit, have not the airiness you so enthusiastically advertised, and I am scriiHisiv arrant that the siia.v In which I work would scarcely hold a fair-sized model." "Ah, but you an only on anus and legs now, so don't cruk," interrupted Dorothea. "Ytu haven't finished the head, either, and ytm know how pn vc rhiully long it takes a woman to have her hair dressed. The discussion of the st vie of the twentieth century coiffure will take us months at least," added Donilhea wickedly, "Raines or no hangs It's a serious thing to le humor- , talicd in cLty. R-sidie picks us to pieces and takes the I test of us for her fell p;iqKses. Your cars, Flora don't they burn you? Evelyn's uose arid my mouth which is my most uiioffeiiding feature ami so for the figure that will la- a comiaisite pmduetion of her five liuinln-d friends, a little of evcryUaly Utttcn together and shaped in a fash ion midway between a Venus aud a Jclincss Miller ideal." Rosalie flushed ; she seldom ioke of her work, though Dorothea would brinir it forward in every conversation, U-ing immensely proud of her sister's talent. "We have a musical family la.-lt.vv us," said Evelyn. "Aud a meiuigerie above," put in Domthea." "I think the Smiths stable their horses m the pn-mises such a trampling aud going on from morning till night." "Rut the music, as I said ln-fon-,' jHirsued Evelyn, undisturlicd by the in terruption, "sounds familiar. It'salaive the onlinary tone of apartments, and if the F" vcrette's were not supjiosed to be traveling abnnid, I should imagine indeed I should lie almost sure well, Flora, have you what is the matter?" shebnikeoff intiuisitively, as she saw Miss Westl.rooke turu scarlet, evident ly a prey to the most violent emotion. "No, no but, girls, do you know who dia-s live just Ik-Iow you?" An exjiectant silence was her only answer. "Well, I really didn't hear myself until yesterday ; but Will Kv-cn-tte and his sister moved in just thn-e days ago. They came horn-' very sud denly anil were settled before their friends even knew they hail returned. Will is much cliangetl, they say not sociable at all like he used to la.' ; pleas ant enough when one can get at him, liut that is so hard, for he ties himself to his piano nowtlays, you know. Will was always a good musician." Flora We-t broke lia.l talked on for the sake of filling an uncomfortable jiause. RosaJie had grown quite ile, an.l, rising, had gone to the window, where she sbssl alnently drumming on the pane aud looking down upon the liusy street scene la-low. Dorothea's sharp tongue for once had failed her, aud Evelyn gave a troubled sigh as she took up her I .rush. "How could he have known!" she said in a low voice, glancing appre hensively at tlie figure at the window. fjulte easily, if you will consider, licing interested, he Inquires for the Misses Norton at their old home, finds them flown, obtains their address aud, coming here presumably to rail, "ee an apartment vacant, puts off his rail, consults his sister, Mary, ami they move in the Evcretts were never lag ganls, you know. That is, of course, iiK-n-Iy a surmise of mine aud may be entirely Incorrect ; there Is no telling, stranger atx-ident liave happeiietL l-'1 you go to tlie flower show yestenlay?" asked Flora, adroitly turning the con versation, and by degrees it drifted Into a more natural vein. Then presently Rtxalic joined the group aud the little cloud liad seemingly vaiilshtsL Rut when their visitor bk her leave she was very thoughtful as she went slowly down stairs. Almost against lier will she had been drawn hit a plot, w hich, how ever innocent of guile, savored strongly of match-making. She douUed seriously if site had shown wisdom in allowing her heart to run awav with the strong common sense of AUGUST 8, 1804. which she had such a goodly store, but it was too lute to draw Kick, so she con tented herself witli shaking her bend at the young man who sl.ssl waiting for her at the front door. "It's a very lsmr showing you have Will, and very little I can say to en courage you," she la-gaii in answer to hLs eager, tpjestioning face. "Rosalie is silent as one of her clay figures, and the other girls unusually n-ticent. They are simply unapproachable through any onlinary channel." "I do not intend ever again to ask Ro salie Xorton to l? my wife," n-turned Fven-tt proudly. "I shall force her to love me. My will is strong enough. This time I shall woo her through no spoken word and then when I am sun- well, I cannot telL I could scarce ly answer for myself." "I think it is her art her desire to la.- famous that stands in your way," said Flora. "Rut her course is a mistaken one the very fire that love kindled would light her genius." "A very practical way of stating the case, IhU not up to the standard of those practical girls. You are tta idle. Will if you will excuse my candor, some jwr jiose in your life, however, lowly, would irresistible apia-at to them. Would you gain Rosalie's love you must work up to her notion of what a man should la. You are a natural musician. Then why do you not stn-tch out those skil ful lingers of yours and draw some of your wuiidc ring brothers into the ith of harmony?

Well, then giMsl-bye," and with a smile an.l nod Miss Flora Westt.ns.ke went rapidly tlown the street. "Aha ! my fine young woman," solil oquized Dorothea from an upja-r win dow, "you tarried long enough to but ton a dozen gloves at the front door. The plot thickens, heigho ! They'll la bs) much fire without the steam heat in seven ns.ms and a bath." Rut life went on appan-ntly uncl.ang sl st hough a close olwerver might have lecn aware of an intense unden-urrent that stirred tlmMigh the every day homely cares. Rosalie sja-nt long hours in her tiny work nana, when she was not busied with the simple housekeep ing. She had now la-fore her the most puzzling aud the most intcrestingof ar tistic studits. the modeling of a head fiat should is.rtray her eomvption of physical an.l mental jsiwer combined with that hisrh moral U-uuty which would 12 strong, yet feminine; firm yet gentle, generous, noble, loving, all in one. Ihiy after day she LiUircd, untiring in her earnestness, ami with unfiag ing energy. Yet she wa never sati--fieiL There was something lacking a certain softness, an indescrii -able touch, the want of which her quick eye at once debs-ted, but she dreaded lest her hand should ruthlessly mar some salient point. She could not tell, w ith all her skill, just w here the trou ble lay, an.l after much perturlmtion she called in her sister for criticism. "Your face needs color," aiiuouiitvd I-'velyn after a can-ful scrutiny; "of course I do not mean the n-al applica tion of pigments, but a certain life qual ity which makes you forget that you are looking at clay. I think now this is clever work of yours, executed with an accuracy of no common order, but I would rather n-coguijk- in this woman's head a divine inspiration, which I must say I cannot find here. Were it put into marble it would still an.l forever n-maiii marble, it would never apia-al to me as flesh an.l I.I.mmI." "Rravo ! Evelyn, you argue well, from your colorlst's standsint," cried Dorothea, approvingly. "You are right and wrong, however. True, the color may la? lacking, Uit it is rather a soul tint than a flesh tint. Rifsalie's wt maii has never loved; when she d vs, lioiio voyono. You see I study faces, t.m, quite a keenly and as critically as you do, and I kn iw the symptoms," with a shrewd glance at her sister. "Now, FIvelyn has given you the guide and I the goal, but, n-m.-m!vr, it must be love crowned with fulfillment which shall irradiate that face. Cupid nrjt not not Ik; dcfrau.led of his lawful spoils," and Dorothea escais-d with a laugh from the reproachful gaze the young sculptor sent after her, only to enjoy with redoubled zest the pretty she was weaving out of her real life. "A "true and true romance grew under her ready pen though the cli max of the tale was withheld through force of circumstances, and as she watch ed the silent bit of love-making her im patient spirit waxed wroth at what she deemed a needless delay.

Dorothea, ever on the alert, siaiu dis covered that the sound of his piano traveled up through the pipes of the steam register, and she also observed that while Ro-alie still craved air at odd minutes, ahe often unconsciously lingered by the heater, drinking in the nicltaly like one athirst. Such music as it was ! and site st'aal at time listen ing with rnt attention. It seemed as if one soul were sp-aking to another, and the air were plaintive, sad, wihL despairing, often with a happier touch of tenderness ; never joyous, yet always strangely beautiful and moving at ease and she was forced to hide her glowing face from her sl-ter'fj 'tK-trat-ing gar.-. F'or she hived him, she was sure of it n w, though she had thought diffc ront ly a short w hile tetck. I5jt Flora was right. So earnest and full of purpose in her art, it tiinde her unhappy to see him wasting hit own great gift, and even as his love came swelling up in waves of harmony she would fly from tlie spell of it and return to her "mud pies" with redoubled vigor. Then presently t3 the dweller up three flight it became apparent that a rier revolution was going on in-low. Will's playing grew more desultory and final ly ceasetl almost entirely, and instead of the exquisite snatches which were lainie to them from time to time the fine piano responded only t a tire some round of musical A. 15. (". as some unskilful hand stumbled over the scales and five-finger exercise. "Will is busy," said Flora, in answer to several discreet inquiries. "You see he is much interested in the erection of a free conservatory of music, and mean while he is teaching a few the first stes. It is very gad of him, I am sure, for nothing could le more pain ful toa well-trained ear." "It is no more than he should do, you, know," said Dorothea seiitciitious ly w ith a side glance at her elder sister, "only I'm sorry I can't give my un qualified approval, but n-ally it sounds dreadful through the heater, its tling-ding-ding, ding-ding-ding, one-two-thn-e, one-two-thrce, all day long; it nearly runs me mad." "It makes no difference, to me. I have no nerves," said Rosalie. Rut a faint flush belied her words, and under that culm exterior a n-la-llious heart was beating violently. It was a most annoying love affair to the lta.kersH.il, and had not Providence intervened in the guire of an uiilookol for accident the question might never have come to a final settlement. A quick ring at the hull U-ll brought llosalie from her workroom. Opening the . I-s.r she found a shabbily tln-ssvd little girl standing outside with a small role of music under her arm. "Mr. Fven-tt lives tlown on the flight," slie said, ill answer to the eai;cr question. "Take care of the stairs, it Is rather dark." Rut her warning came too Lite. The child lost her footing on the lauding and fell from the top to the Irottom, while Rosalie, pale and fright eneil, hasten, si to the rescue as fa-t as her feet could carry her. As she reached the motionless little figure and raised it in h.-r strong young arms the d.air of the lower artmeiit was flung wide ia-n and Will Evt-n-tt sbssl upon the thn-sh.ld. '"Come in here," he said authorita tively, relieving her of her burden, and Rosalie followed him meekly. He laid the child upon the couch as tenderly as if he had lavu a woman. "She has fainted !" he exclaimed as he burr its 1 off for some water. Rosalie bent over her anxiously and gently felt for any broken U.nes. She gave a n Ik-ved sigh as Will came I nick. "I think it Is only the sh.a kofthe fall, and prolrahly a few liard bruises," she said, rubbing one cold hand, while the young man on his knees U-i.ie her vigonnisly ruhla-d the other. Then they worked ill silt-nee until the little one on-iied her eyes and tried to sit U- "Not yet, Madu'e. You had a bad tumble and must keep quiet foruwliile. 1 I will go and tell y.mr mother.

Just put her away in Mary's room and rumni:igeab ut there fr any thing you may iieetL Call tlie maid if you are in trouble. I'll la- Utck in a few minutes." Rosalie half smiled as he gave this volley of orders and made gixsl hi es cape. Th. n, with a glow at ht-r heart she is u Id not understand, she set aU.ut her pn-iratioii. Ry the time Will re turned her charge had been made quite comfortable in Mary's r.aun. Then ensued an awkward .ause, dur ing which Rosalie st.asi undecided whether to L-at a hasty rctn-ut or ac tvpt the situation more gracefully and exchange commonplace with her quon dam lover, who sat carelessly twirling himself on the music-sul, watching her with a dangerous light in his eyes. It was a crisis, they b .th knew, yet Ixttli were ttai proud or t olrstinate to force it by a word or glance. The situation could only have lasted a few seconds, thought it seemed of in terminable length to pair Rwalie, who felt her defenses giving way, when Dorothea's voice outside and her ja-r-cuiptory knock at the door brought them lsith to their senses. She glanced sharply from one to the other as she Came into the rami. "The smell of burning soup ei-meatii!g I through seven r.s.tns and a Uith led me to investigation," she remarked.

"I witnessed a thunder-storm once," said an observant traveling man, "which was accompanied by a eom bin ition of meteorological phenomena that ma.le it a mi4 wonderful ex hibition of what the elements can do when they find the conditions right. The time of the year, in the first place, was enough to have made the thunder storm notable without any other unusual hapa-iiings. It was early in February, Ih'.m.

Rctwecn 10 aud 11 o'clock the western sky la-gan to grow black with lieavy clouds that rolled rapidly up from la-hind the hills. With tin-in came sharp flashes of lightning, followed quickly by terrific thunder clajM. A -culiarity of the lightning was the long duration of its flashes, the black clou.Ls la-ing il luminated sevtral seconds at a time. "While the inky clouds were forming in the west and rolling up toward the zenith, with the accompaniment of glaring lightning ami cnishinir thunder, the lu.s.ii appeared alntve the summits of the high hills iu the cast and 1 .allied them and the sin. sgh uaters of Lake Keuka, which stn-tch away from their feet, ill a flood of mellow light.

"The moon shining brightly tin the failing rain had its natural sequence the casting upon the clny front of the advancing storm clou. Is of a lunar rain low of singular vividness and bril liancy.
