LUCY ELLENS DECLARATION OF
INDEPENDENCE.
“Sometimes I kind of feel as though the
hand of Providence was in it,”” said Lucy
Ellen, reflectively. ‘‘I’ve thought of buy-
ing a ‘front’ for nearly 7 years, but every
time I get pretty near what I thought likely
it would cost something happened. The
first time I had to have new wall-paper on
Sister S’liny’s room. The rain came in,
and the green all run together. It didn’t
show much under the window, but S’liny
said ‘it looked so much like mussy sea-
weed that it made her seasick.” Then
when I made a new covering for her
lounge, she said she couldn’t stand the
change, nohow. So I had to get Mr. Sim-
kins to send clear to Boston to match the
old pattern. It cost an awful sight,”’ add-
ed Lucy Ellen, bus with an undercurrent
of pride in the words. ‘They do say as
how Queen Victoria can’t stand any change
in her furniture. Sister 3’liny has notions
too, vou know.
Mrs. Tuttle did know. The entire vil-
lage felt a personal interest and gratifica-
tion in S’liny—whose name, as inscribed
in the family Bible, was Selina. In later
days, or in more modern nomenclature,
her illness would have been called nervous
prostration. In Banbury, however, there
was a general feeling that it would have
been impious to diagnose the exact cause
of the chronie invalidism of the younger of
the ‘Slater girls.” Nor were the various
phases of her illness to be defined in medi-
cal phraseology. She was ‘‘took,”” was
‘‘consid’rable ailin’,”’ was ‘‘peaked”’ ox
*'slim.”” She had ‘‘turns’ and ‘‘notions’
and ‘‘spelis.”’
“I thought I'd just run in to show you
the Camberwell Gazette that my daughter
Julia’s just sent me,’’ resumed Mrs. Tuttle.
“It has an advertisement of the loveliest
false ‘front’! I don’t believe anybody
could tell it trom real hair. This hair-
dresser’s come from the city, and Julia
says she’s all the fashion in Camberwell.
She's going to have a new switch herself.”
“I haven't my glasses—I suppose it
costs an awful sight?” murmured Lucy
Ellen, feasting her eyes on the accompany-
ing illustration, representing a luxurious
front’ that would come well down over
the forehead. and cover any enlarging area
of baldness at the back of one’s crown ; on
either side were six waves, arranged with
a symmetry perfect as though carven, that
one felt instinctively would never come
*‘out’’ or become disarranged under what-
ever exigency of weather or stress of ex-
ereise
.
returned
understand
best is the cheapest,”
Tuttle, judicially. “I
that this is a special offer.”
“You see, I don’t get much chance to
lay up money, resumed Lucy Ellen.
“Folks buy their boys’ clothes over in
Camberwell now. Time was when every-
bedy in Banbury thought they couldn't
get along without me every spring, regular
as sulphur and molasses, to make the
children’s jackets and trousers. These
days, all I get to do is braiding a rug or
piecing a quilt now and then. But then,
P’m not paid for sitting still and doing no-
thing,” added Lucy Ellen, briskly. ‘“Go-
ing? Much obliged for the paper. I'd
like to look it over again.”
Time had been when Lucy Ellen’s tones
and motions were always brisk. If there
were now sometimes dullness in the one
and heaviness in the other, perhaps it was
not the years ouly that were accountable.
The moments in which Lucy Ellen did
nothing were few indeed, for besides the
never-failing ronnd of household duties was
the care of her invalid sister ; and S’liny’s
demands, having their origin chiefly in
“notions’’ though they did, were many and
inexorable. Had there ever come an in-
stant’s breathing : pace uninterrupted by
the call from above to ascertain if the pork
barre! had not sprung a leak or the bulk-
head been left open? Or when had Lucy
Ellen sunk into wearied slumber unbroken
by the tones from the adjoining room—
penetrating as those of a mosquito ?—
“Lucy Ellen, come quick : I’m a-falling!”’
The rescue always proved her safe in her
feather bed, but not Heaven's own assur-
ance could have eradicated the notion of
that wild descent through nothingness
from S’liny’s mind.
Lucy Ellen could not even say her pray-
ers in peace. Usually Saturday morning
was her time for self-examination and self
mortification, not only because of the close
approach of the Sabbath, but because out-
ward and visible signs of purification by
broom and soapsuds assisted the inward
process. It wes a season also of special
trial, in that S’liny, when she came down
to dinner, was sure to notice if a piece of
furniture was placed the fraction of an inch
out of its former position. Though Lucy
Ellen, from long experience, succeeding in
avoiding any marked appearance of change,
to S'liny’s finer perceptions ‘‘nothing felt
the same,’’ and the result of the Saturday
honsecleaning was generally that the in-
valid spent the afternoon on the bed, with
smeling-salts at her nose.
There had heen other moments in her
life when what Lucy Ellen afterwards tear-
folly called ‘the old Adam’ in her had
arisen against the household tyranny, but
never to the point of open rebellion. Per-
‘haps it was that the slow gathering impal-
pable mist of years had condensed and
-shapcd itse'f at last ; it may have been that
that advertisement of the lovely ‘‘front’’
focussed all the pent-up longing of years.
Instead, as usual, of following S'liny to her
room after dinner, to ascertain that the
shades were drawn to the right degree and
the pillows disposed at the proper angle,
Lucy Ellen washed the dinner dishes with
an ever-growing feeling of resentment
against everybody and everything, but
which seemed to concentrate itself especial-
ly against S’liny. As she stood at the
kitchen door, wringing out the last towel,
the forces of nature without—it wasa love-
ly day in early spring—the forces of her
own nature within overcame the voice of
the inflamed New England conscience that
whispered of 8’linr and the utter abnega-
tion of natura! des.re. The mists met to
form the cloud burst. Incipient rebellion
had ripened into the Declaration of Inde-
pendence.
Lucy Ellen tiptoed through S’liny’s
room to her own chamber. It was not
much more than a closet beneath the eaves,
with one small window, stifling in summer
and freezing in winter. The spare room,
never occupied by a guest. was large and
airy, butin the gable end of the house, and
S’liny was unwilling that her sister should
sleep so far from her and her nightly fall.
From her upper bureau drawer Lucy Ellen
took a queer pasteboard box, smelling of
camphor. Its contents were a slender gold
ring, a big silver watch, a few worn silver
spoong, and a huge cameo brooch. Noth-
ing there but was of slight intrinsic value.
But they had been treasured by Lucy
Ellen for many years as a sort of fetich, to
be looked over Sunday afternoons, when
she was dressed in her best merino gown
and clean white apron. She looked at her
treasures now with eyes that greedily cal-
culated their value at the second-hand shop
in Camberwell.
Long ago Lucy Ellen had sat in the vil-
lage choir, and kept company with Hiram
Millikin. When Camberwell built its
town-hall, Hiram—he was a carpenter by
trade—received a good offer to assist in the
work. Lucy Ellen would have consented
in the immediate marriage he urged, but
for her sister's objections. But the mere
mention of so momentous a change as
leaving her native village gave S’liny ‘‘a
turn.’” She was never vociferously assert-
ive. On this occasion she dropped her
chin, rolled her eyes, said, ‘‘It tires me to
think of it,”’ and sank into a colossal
silence, and was deaf to argument or en-
treaty. Hiram, in quick anger at Lucy’s
decision, said it must be ‘‘now or never,”
so his sweetheart gave back the slender
gold ring that had scarce bad time to
become warmed by the finger that wore it.
The first news that reached Lucy Ellen
of her whilom lover was that he had fallen
from an upper scaffolding of the hall.
There was no time for even a last good-by.
Hiram sent back to her the little ring, and
with it the watch that had been his fath-
er’s, the cameo brooch with his mother’s
hair in the back of the setting, that was
his childhood’s strongest association with
that mother.
As is so frequently the case when death
has come by sudden accident, Lucy Ellen
had never really grasped the fact that Ili-
ram was dead. Her mental picture of him
was always as she had seen him last, strong
and ruddy, in the full stature of manhood,
untarnished by years or the slow wasting
of disease. That might have wonted her
to the idea of death. She never got over
the feeling that Hiram would walk in up-
on her with his old cheery greeting. The
fancy —if fancy it was merely, and not hu-
man nature’s desperate clinging to the
mortal and visible as well—somehow
linked Lucy Lllen’s own life so indissolua-
bly with that of thellover who would never
grow old that she had never actually ac-
cepted the fact that she was no longer Hi-
ram’s sweetheart, but a woman who had
long ago crossed the line that separates
youth from middle age.
S’liny’s notion, too, in regard to change,
doubtless affected Lucy Ellen’s habit of
mind. Only in oue particular did she
realize that years had passed since Hiram
Millikin bade her good-by. Her skin
might be sallow and wrinkled, her eyes
have lost their brightness, if only her hair
had not fallen out! Despite the tonic in-
fluence of varicus herbs, the parting had
grown ever wider, the hairs on either side
scantier, till in the near distance Lucy
Ellen beheld herself as bald as Deacon
Tebbitis.
Camberwell was ten miles distant from
Banbury, but by walking rapidly, and
with possible lifts from friendly teams,
Lucy Ellen calculated she could cover the
distance there and back before dark. She
looked again at the cut in the Camberwell
Gazette, her heart aflame with the joy of
approaching realization. To own a ‘‘front’’
like that would be not only to secure her
youth, forever safe from the vicissitude of
time, and independent of the over-vaunted
properties of catnip or wormwood. She
put on her hat with its pink roses, tied be-
neath her chin with blue ribbons, and the
jaunty fringed mantle that made ‘‘Miss
Lucy Ellen’’ and her assumption of youth
the laughing-stock of rosy-cheeked boys
and girls, as with perky, lightsome step
she tiptoed up the meet-house aisle. With
a green pasteboard box under her arm,
Lucy Ellen stole through her sister’s room
again—it was the only exit from her room
—and out into the sunshine.
Beneath the tangible motive—though
she did not know it---lay the primal im-
pulse of the spring-time; the great swelling
tide of love made visible in outward nature,
in the swelling buds and flushing fields and
song of birds; and in human nature, of the
reawakening of that hunger for love that
is so loath to relinquish that which seems
its last little claim to that with which all
the world is overflowing.
When Lucy Ellen returned, S’liny was
still on the bed. She was never openly re-
proachful to any fancied neglect on the
part of Lucy Ellen; as now, she merely
looked angelic and sighed—a sigh that
hinted of the volumes in the hands of the
recording angel of her own long-suffering
under trial and provocation; there was a
hint, too, in her manner as she murmured
she ‘‘didn’t want nothing to eat,’’ that she
should soon be where she could feast upon
the heavenly manna.
For the first time since S’liny was ‘ ‘took, ”’
Lucy Ellen did not weakly succumb to this
mute eloquence. For the first time, too,
as she helped S’liny make ready for bed, a
voice—she called it afterwards the voice of
the Tempter—whispered to her:
‘“Tell her her sickness is all fuss and fid-
dle-sticks ! That if she had to spend a day
at the wash-tub or ironing-table it would
be the best cure for her ‘notions.’ She
ain’t no more sick than I am! She’s ouly
just coddled herself into the idea, and I’ve
been a fool to give in to her. It would
have been a good sight better for her, too,
if I hadn’t.”’ :
It was with difficulty, too, that Lucy
Ellen restrained herself from giving S’liny,
as she would have given a fractious child,
a good shaking.
She closed the door between the two
rooms, instead of leaving it ajar, as usnal.
If S’liny liked to fall clear through to
China, she would not intervene. But
S’liny displayed the tactics of a great gen-
eral. Instinetively she waited to concen-
trate her forces at the real point of attack.
Lucy Ellen seated herself hefore the bureau,
and with trembling hands untied a neat
little box and took therefrom a beautiful
and luxurious ‘‘front.”’ Anticipation, for
once, had not outstripped realization; to
Lucy Ellen’s admiring gaze, the hair was
more beautiful in its reality than in its
representation. She adjusted it carefully,
smoothed down behind her ears the im-
maculate waves, and twisted the ends with
her own scanty locks into a little knot he-
hind. The red-brown hue of the ‘‘front’’
hardly matched the color of her own hair,
but, as the hair-dresser had said, it was
better than though it was black, and there
was really no knowing what might have
been. It was certainly very becoming,
Lucy Ellen agreed,and had a look of nature
calculated to deceive the most wary.
She held the candle high above her head,
that its light might fall at various angles
on her new head-covering, regarding her-
self the while with coquettish little ducks
and frowns and asimpering smile. She lit
another candle in a saner mood, a reckless
extravagance, and placing one on either
side of the litile eight-by-twelve looking-
glass, whispered the old question of the
heart of youth,
Mirror, mirror, on the wall,
Who is the fairest of us all?
and the glass answered the heart, and not
the withered face under its crown of false,
discordant locks,
Thou art the fairest of them all.
When at last Lucy Ellen laid aside the
“frout,’’ it was to fall asleep with the
pleased consciousness—running through her
slumbers—that the mirror held something
very sweet and new, as a child dreams of
its Christmas stocking. The next morning
she set the hreakfast tray on the light-
stand by her sister’s head in silence. S'liny
seemed still to be whetting her appetite
for manna. With a last look at herself in
the glass—it was wonderful how young the
front’ beneath the nodding cabbage-roses
made her look—Lucy Ellen stood on the
threshold of her sister’s room.
S’liny gave a hysterical shriek.
“Why—why—why—what has happen-
ed ?”’ she gasped.
“It’s my new ‘front,’ answered Lucy
Ellen, beamingly; for, fresh from the flat-
tering mirror, pleasure in her acquisition
took away apprehension of 8’liny’s possible
opposition or strictures.
“It’s such a change !”” murmured the
invalid, turning her head upon the pillow.
“My hair was real kind of thin,” said
Lucy Ellen, with a little break in her
voice. Face io face with life-long habit, it
was not 80 easy to maintain an undaunted |
front.
‘I don’t think TI can ever get used to
it,”’ said S’liny, faintly.
“It’s real pretty and becoming,’ urged
Lucey Ellen, tremuously. ‘If you could
only kind of make up your mind, gradual,
to get used to it. I could wear it for best,
Sundays and Thanksgivings, at first, yon
know. I'd like real well to wear it,S’liny,”’
she added, piteously.
But the feeling was already clutching
her heartstrir gs that she had bartered the
precious memories of her youth for a mess
of pottage; that the Lord was dealing
righteously, if severely, with her for her
sin of vanity.
“It makes me—tired—to look at you!”
murmared S’liny, and closed her eyes. A
“spell” or a ‘‘turn’’ was plainly imminent
—all the more appalling that their cause
or nature was absolutely unknown.
For a full minute Lucy Ellen stood on
the threshold. Then, slowly and sadly,
she tnrned back into her own room. The
cloud-burst stayed its consequence; the
Declaration of Independence was recalled.
She took off the lovely ‘‘front,”’ and with
calm, grim determination looked at herself
in the glass. The mirror whispered back
the truth. In the broad light of day Lucy
Ellen saw the face of middle age, that had
bartered its past, and had no future save
that summed up in the round of Monday’s
washing and Tuesday ’s ironing—inexorable
as the roll of the planets. Lucy Ellen
knew now that Hiram would never come
back; and would he look upon her in the
other world, when she must tell him that
she had ‘‘swapped’’ the little gold ring,
his father’s watch, and his mother’s brooch
for a ““front’’ of false hair that made S’liny
tired ?
When the ‘Slater girls’’ came up the
aisle of the meeting-house that Sabbath,
S’liny, as usual, dragging on her sister's
arm, more than one person whispered :
‘‘How old Lucy Ellen is looking! Poor
S’liny !"’— Harper's Bazar.

Mr. James Rine of 2 Thomas street, em-
ployed in the planing mill, says: I can

retty good evidence that the cures made
y them are not temporary. I hive
