Mother was as simple and direet as
_ & child, even in her religion.
The next day she visited the city,
went aboard a Bremen vessel and
brought bome—Christina, She was |
. about sixteen; fat and round as achurn;
. with clean skin, blue eyes, a funny lit- |
tle knob of hair atop of her head, a!
white muslin waist, short gray wool-
len petticoat and heavy shoes.
“She cannot speak a word of Eng- |
lish,” said mother, looking half scared.
“She isa Norwegian. The agent said |
she had a terrible history. But her
honest face tempted me. I seemed to |
hear a voice saying: ‘Take this one” |
“She is an escaped convict, no!
doubt,” I said. “That guiding voice |
of yours, little mother, induced you to
bring in Blue Peter out of the alns- |
house, who set fire to the barn. Well, |
T'll show her about the supper.”
Christina followel me—lumb and]

the mufling, fried chicken and made |
coffee.
She did not offer to touch anything |
or to help me. But the next morning,
when I went down to make ready the |
breakfast, there was the table laid, and |
the chicken, mutling and coffee pre- |
cisely as she had seen them the night |
before.
She was faithful and imitative as a |
Chinaraan, and she was already a good |
cook and dairy maid. She learned a |
few words of English, and with them |
sheshowed her gratitude for any simple |
kindness shown her. We fance fed, too,

It never looked more beautiful than
ft did that ssinmer. The great orchards
were red with fruit, constant showers
kept the forests pure in tint, the wild
rose and sweet briar covered every field
‘and roadside.
But the poor Norwegian was
wretchedly unhappy. Her unsmiling
face and wide sad eyes seemed to carry
misery into the barnyard and dairy,
and leavened the very bread we ate.

“To-day was to be signalized by an
oyster-bake on the shore of the bay.
The count and four other worshipers
were supposed to act as cooks and ser-
itors, but Christina did all the work.
She built the fire of driftwood ; cut
the bread ; made the coffee and baked
the oysters, running incessantly to
Julia with the biggest, her round face
red as a peony.
It was a gray. gusty day, too gusty
for us to use the little sailboat which
was drawn up on the beach. This dis-
appointment offered Julia a chance for
petty willful pettishness,
“Too provoking! I had set my

“1 will wager a rose against a pair of
gloves that I have it yet, count!” her
eyes suddenly sparkling.
The bet was taken,
aftéerward we missed Julia, and the
next moment saw her in the cockle-

cove, the sail half raised, flapping in |

We rushed down to the edge of the |

Julia, terrified by the sudden conscious-

A heavy flaw came just then and the |
boat was c: apsiz ed instantly.

There was no justice to my mind in |
i the end of the accident. Julia, when |
again, was rosy and pert and]
charming as ever; but poor Christina
had been thrown against the hull of
the boat. She was quite badly in-
jured, and was laid up in bed for a
month, Mother and I had her work
to do, while Julia tock wing to New-
port.
“Things are strangely ordered in
this world,” I said, as I laid down a
half-read letter from her one day in
October, full of her gayeties and suc-
ceeses, and glanced at Christina, be-
ginning to limp heavily about in the
kitchen,
“They always come out right,” said
mother, quietly. “ What is that on
the other side?”
1 turned the letter and read:
“Oh, by the way, I thought I owed
‘Old Norje’ some reparation for her
injuries in my behalf. So I wrote to
our consul in Christiana to pay Jan's
debt for me, and to send him and his
mother out by the next steamer. You
told me that old Sanders had finally
grumbled himself into his grave. Why
not take Jan as farm hand and put
him and his mother into the tenant
house? 1 have ordered from New
York a few odds and ends to make it
comfortable for them. They will ar-
rive in Philadelphia on next Monday.”
I could hardly finish; the tears
choked me. “I have been very unjust
to Julia,” I said.
We agreed not to tell Christina, but
to surprise her. We had grown very
fond of the patient, affectionate crea-
ture with her everlasting chatter ‘of
“ mutter and Jan.”
The “odds and ends” proved to be
a very complete, though plain, plenish-
ing for a house. Christina helped to

From Washington
Generar Bmensmax, in his annual report as
general of the army, says that the fear of
exceeding the limit of 25,000 men, or the
difficulty of enlisting men in these prosperous
times, has kept the army below what the
honor or the necessity of the country de-
mands, and he advises a change of the
limit to 80,000, The during tho

Forgot He Was Marzied,
A young man who until recently
had lived at the house of his father, in
Augusta, Me,, married a few weeks
ngo and leased apartments in another
part of the city, The other evening,
after completing his day's work, he
left the office, went up the street,
bought his Boston paper, and then
climbed the hill to his father's house,
Entering its familiar precincts, he
marched to the wash-room, made his
toilet, and then presented himself at
the table, The family, who had been
watching his operations, eyed him
with smazement, and at last his mother
softly inquired : “My son, have you
procured a divorce thus early in your
wedded careor?’ A pale flush
fused the young man's face, which
rapidly deepened into cardinal. Then
he gasped : “I forgot all about being
married.” Leaving the table amid a
roar of laughter, the young man har
ried out and walked hastily home,
where his young wife was linpatiently
awaiting his coming.
