MRS. WESTERLEY’S HELP.
“Well I will try once more, Milly,
but you must not be too particular this
time,” sald Tom Westerley.
Tom frowned a little as he reminded
his young wife that this was the fourth
time she had been left without a ser-
vant during the year they had lived at
Cloverbanks, It was such a bother to
be bringing them constantly from the
intelligence office,
Milly colored a little, knowing that
she was very particular and a little set
in her way, and might be more patient,
She would try very hard to succeed
with the next one; it was so dreadful
to get along in the hot weather, with
no help and the baby teething.
Tom drove into town, and about
eleven o'clock a neat little woman came
out on the train,
“I am glad that you are not a young
girl, said Milly. **Isuppose you have
had experience in housework?”
“Oh, yes, indeed!” was the reply,
with suavity. “I have kept house for
myself; | am a widow.”
“Have you been a widow long?”
“Two years, I understand all kinds
of cooking—fine laundry work—every-
thing.”
So it proved. Milly was so pleased
she felt absolutely grateful, and looked
on admiringly as the rather disordered
household was brought up to a state of
perfect order.
Meanwhile, Mrs, Maria, as the new-
comer styled herself, was very loqua-
cious,
“Perhaps I say it who shouldn’t,
Mrs. Westerley. but I'm good help. 1
can take right hold anywhere, and 1
don’t overcharge. I've lived in a num-
ber of places, and they will all recom-
mend me,”
“I should think likely,” replied
Milly, who was rocking the baby while
Mrs, Maria put the sitting-room to
rights,
“I'm a good hand in sickness, too.
Hope none of you won't get sick while
I am here, but it’s unhealthy this hot
weather,” dusting the mantel deftly.
“Pon’. you think Mr, Westerley looks
a little peaked?”
“The heat wears on him some,’ said
Milly.
“It's very bad to get out of health
affects the pervea,”
She had a small, round face, with
apple cheeks and sharp, black eyes.
She paused in her work, and looked in-
teutly at Milly.
** Affects the mind.”
“Yes”
**1t's bad to get the mind disordered.”
“It is, indeed,” said Milly, care-
lessly,
*] don’t suppose you notice it, Mrs,
Westerley, but I think Mr. Westerley
is very irritable,”
“He gets tired,’ replied Milly; *‘and,
as you say, I think be Is not very well.”
She blushed a little for Tom, remem-
bering how be had scolded because the
baby had thrown the hair brush in the
bath-tub that morning. But she had
readily excused it, because she knew he
was overworked, and had not rested
well through the hot night. She was
not well herself; the dog days had com-
menced, and she felt dull, weak and
unsociable. The baby cried nights,
and Tom was certainly impatient and
testy.
Mrs, Maria seemed insensible to the
beat, she flew about the house like a
parched pea. Milly literally had no
care of the housekeeping. Everything
was dove In exquisite order. It was a
great relief,
Most a fortnight after Mrs. Maria's
arrival Milly received a letter from her
Aunt Helen, asking her to come down
to the shore for a week,
*1 can go, can’t I, Tom?" she cried.
And Tom said yes,
So Milly and baby went down to
Haveuside, and told Aunt Helen what
a nice housekeeper bad been left with
Tom at Cloverbanks, and how delight-
ful it was to be free for a week, to en-
joy the salt air and surf bathing.
When she came back Tom met her at
the station; there was an anxious cloud
ou his brow,
“Feeling well, Milly?’’ he asked,
“Oh, yes, indeed !’’ she replied bright-
1y.
so looked at her quite sharply, and
she looked at him.
“Why, don't I look well, Tom?"
“Why, yes; 1 don’t see but what you
do,” he answered.
“How has Mrs, Marla got along?”
“First class,’
*‘She is a treasure, isn’t she?"
“Yes. "
How strange of Tom! Ie wasn’t irri.
table now; ho was odd. It made her
nervous, as if some were im-
peud iisig of whieh atie did not know, It
see to her that Tom looked pale
and harassed,
**Is anything the matter, Tom?
What makes you seem so queer?”
“What makes you act as if you were
afraid of me?" he
pered, and could not help showing that
she was very much annoyed.
“What do you want of me?’’ she ask-
od, one day, haughtily, when Tom was
present,
“Nothing — nothing,” replied the
little woman, soothingly.
Tom, who was reading, looked around
sharply. She thought Mrs. Maria said
something to him as she passed his
chair, It sounded like:
“They never like to be watched,”
Who? Did people think she had
joined a gang of conspirators?
She went up to her room with a swell-
ing heart; but it was a very hot night,
she was very tired, and she soon forgot
her troubles in a heavy sleep, She was
awakened by Tom Crossing the room,
and found that he had the baby in his
arms,
“She will sleep better in the next
room with me,”’ he said,
“*She is very well in ber crib, Tom,”
said us wife, in wonder.
Milly could not sleep after that,
Tom had looked so pale and strange.
Every night now Tom slept in the next
room with Lily, and in the morning
gave her to Mrs. Maria to be dressed,
She sald something rather fretfully to
Mrs, Maria about “Mr. Westerley’s
notion.”
“Poor dear, can’t you see?” said
Mrs. Maria, pitifully.
*‘See what?’ asked Milly, feeling as
if she were going crazy.
“I've noticed it ever since I've been
here, I do not know whether it’s heat
or overwork, or whether it is heredi-
tary.”
“What do you mean?”’
“The poor man is a little wrong in
his mind,”’ she replied.
The truth seemed to flash upon
Milly’s mind, Tom’s uncle had died
insane. His strange behavior was ex-
plained all at once. Her blood froze in
horror,
“Oh, what shall I do?” she cried.
“You must humor him. There is
nothing like humoring them, I've
had a grandmother, a mother and two
sisters insane.”
“Oh, how dreadful!” shrieked Milly.
She sobbed and cried in the face of
the calamity. Then she tried to think,
She no longer dared to trust him with
Lily, He was mad and unsafe, Oh,
it seemed as if the terrible thing could
not be borne!
She was trembling like a leaf when
she saw Tom's buggy drive into the
yard. He saw her agitation as soon as
he entered,
“What 13
asked,
**She’s been very bad this afternoon,
poor dear!” said Mrs. Maria softly.
“Milly, perhaps [—] had better have
a doctor for you.”
“A doctor for me, Tom?" she said
looking at him amazedly.
He turned anxiously toward the cra-
dle and took the little one in his armns,
“Oh don’t—don’t touch the baby!”
she cried in agony. Don'’t—don’t take
the baby!"
She tried to take it from his arms,
but with a frown he resisted her, How
strong he was! A panic seized her,
She began to scream and ery aloud.
“Tom, oh, Tom! try to think of what
you are doing. Don’t take the baby
the matter, Milly?” he
from me! You-—you will hurt her, I
want my darling baby! Ob, I must
have her! i
“Oh,” groaned Tom, *I must have |
help! Mrs, Maria, run for the doe-
tor.”
She had hardly gone, and Milly had
sunk weakly into a chair, crying, when
two men entered the open door.
“la there a womanhere named Maria
Hewins?” they asked,
Tom shook his head,
“She is about here somewhere,’ the
elder said. *'Or else she has just left,
X ou have employed her all summer,’
“Do you mean my domestic?” asked
Tom,
The men nodded,
“We have called her Mrs, Maria.”
“It's all one. Her name is Maria
Hewins, This man with me is her
husband, She’s gota family of seven
children down in Maine, She’s tem.
porarily insane, The doctor says she'll
get over it. She has escaped from the
care of her friends.”
*“Then she isn’t a widow?”
“No.”
“Never lived out before?’
**Never.”
*‘Is crazy?"
“Yes. And thinks everybody else is
s0, You'd never mistrust it, perhaps,
she’s smart—but you see she’s always
thinking everybody else is Insane.”
A little information sufficed to put
the men on the right track, and they
went away,
“Milly” said Tom.
“Tom!” cried Milly.
“She's made all this trouble,”
“Yes. You ain't insane, are you,
Tom?"
“No more than you are, Dat she
filled my head with stories of your
strange behavior while you were gone
down to the shore. It seemed as if
you did act strangely, Milly.”
“It seemed as il you did, Tom."
“I was afraid to trust the baby with
you. She warned me that insane
mothers frequently injured their chil.
dren.”
“And I was afraid to trust Lily with
you, Tom, I thought you took her in-
to the other room to sleep because you
were crazy. Oh, I have suffered soi’
“I guess I have, Thank God,” con-
cluded Tom, *‘it wasonly a scare!”
They learned the next day that the
Cecil's Craze,
————————————
Milly kissed her brother good-by and
jumped into the train that was to bear
her to New York, where she was to
spend the winter with Mrs. Archibald
Wyeth, Milly had never been much
away from home, and rather enjoyed
traveling by rail. :
As she sat by the window, looking
out on the rolling country, she sudden-
ly felt two arms clasped about her nag,
and her face was covered with kisses,
A little surprised, she found herself in
the grasp of a charming young girl
“I have found you at last, Lilly,” said
a sweet, childish voice. *I knew God
would give you back to mel”
“Do not be.alarmed, young lady,”
sald a tall, handsome man who had
risen in the seat back of Milly, *‘My
ward lost her twin sister lately by an
accident and has never recovered her
reason, ”’
“Let her stay here by me if she wants
to,” sald Milly, as the little girl showed
no signs of relinquishing ber hold on
her newfound friend, “I do not
mind,”
*‘Cecile’s is only a temporary de-
rangement,’ said the gentleman, “and
we hope soon to cure her, I trust, miss
you will be with us for some time, for
she seems to have taken a great fancy
to you. Here is my card.”
Milly took it and read:
Sie Roger HEPWORTH,
Millbank Terrace, England,
The baronet was glad to learn that
they were both on their way to New
York, for he had taken a liking to the
fresh-faced country girl as well as
Caclle,
All through the journey Milly did
what she could for the poor stricken
girl, and when they arrived at the city,
Ceclle would not part from her until
the promise was exacted that she would
call on them the next day.
It soon become a dally occurrence for
Mrs, Wyeth and Milly to be invited to
ride in the park with Sir Roger and his
ward,
As the skillful physician bad predict-
ed, Cecile recovered from her mental
malady, but the frall body grew more
and more spiritual every day, and at
last it was evident that the too beauti-
ful color which flamed upon her cheeks
as each day grew to a close was the
fatal hectic. At last she could no
longer leave her room. Then Sir Roger
went to Mrs, Wyeth and entreated her
to use ber influence with Milly to stay
with the dying girl who was constantly
wishing for her companionship until
take her place in ministering to the old
father, and she gave him as tender care
as though he had been her own,
Lady Milicent Hepworth (our Milly)
fills her position as thoughshe had been
born to it, and ber husband blesses the
day when Cecil's delusion drew Milly
within the circle of their traveling
group.
PETTY SUPERSTITIONS,
Silly Beliefs in Evil Influences That
Still Find Numerous Adherents
Each new generation asks, When
will the world have done with its super-
stitlons? Why should people cling to
strange beliefs in evil influences, beliefs
which, for the most part, had their rise
in delusions of keathenism, centuries
after the Christian religion has had
sway in the civillzad world? Weknow
that many strange and bloody supersti-
tions have faded away in the past two
centuries, “Witches” are no longer
put to death, and incantations are no
longer practiced in civilized countries;
but a thousand petty bellefs in lucky
and unlucky things survive these dark.
er superstitions, and these, though they
are proved false every day, continue to
influence the mind of people of no little
intelligence,
In some parts of the country the re-
ceipts of the railroads are smaller on
Fridays than on other week days, be-
cause so many people fear some harm
if they start on a journey on that day.
Very many people, who would be
ashamed to confess that they are influ-
enced by this notion, hide it under
some pretense, and perhaps convince
themselves that they are guided by
some other reason, in refraining from
traveling on Friday, than their super-
stition; but the proof is plain that the
influence of the day is feared,
A great many people have a fear of
certain numbers, and a belief in lucki-
ness of other numbers, If they stopp-
ed to think about it, they would be
ashamed to be influenced by so unreason-
able a feeling. They do not, however,
stop te think. Superstition is simply a
form of letting very ignorant people,
who lived long before us, do our think-
ing for us,
Many men who are incredulous about
most things, have little tricks to bring
about good fortune, such as turning a
chair around before they sit down,
carrying coins with holes in them, keep-
ing a certain coin a *‘pocket-piece,”” to
bring good fortune, or a horse chestnut
to “keep off the rheumatism.’ Inas-
the last,
The invitation to Milly to spend some
party was stopping occasioned her some |
embarrassment, as her simple toilet ar-
rangements, gotten up in ber prairie
home, were hardly intended to bear the
criticism of lovers of fashion and dis-
play; but her love for the gentle suffer-
er overcame her scruples and she went
to her,
The visitors at the lLolel were very
much interested in the baronet and his
ward, and many a pair of bright eyes
would have been glad to win an admir-
ing glance from the Landsomse, stately
nobleman, bat he seemed ever the same
—polite and courteorr Mut indifferent, |
His vvard, Cecile, »: also his cousin,
his favorite nephew, who was the sec
ond son of Lord Dugallan, that on his
young as was Sir Boger at
the time, [ had appointed him guar-
dian of his twin girls, and had also left
him a third of his large fortune, so that,
although by the provisions of the en-
tail, he did not inherit any of hus
father’s property, he might be in pos-
session of a good income,
But the terms of the will, if either
sister died, the survivor was to inherit
all; and if neither should live to attain
her majority, Sir Roger should then
be the heir, unless his cousins wished
to will their share to someone else, In
that case he was to be guided by their
requests,
“Guardy," said Cecile, one morning,
after she had made jan excuse to send
Milly from the room, “I want to make
my will. You are richenough already,
and 1 want to give Milly half my
money. Are you willing?”
Sir Roger stroked the bright head
tenderly.
“Anything that pleases my Ceclle
me, "’
Cecile took his hand caressingly in
one of hers. “What a good, kind
guardy you have been, Leaving your
home in dear old England and travel-
ing about with me in search of health
that won't come, But my mind is all
right now, Oh, that dark time when
everything was a blank! And it was
Milly's sweet face, so like my own
Liliy’s, that helped me, She Is my
sister in spirit if not in body.”
So it was arran The lawyers
were sent for, and Milly Dutton was no
longer a girl merely in comfortable cir
cumstances—she was an helress. But
she knew nothing of iv until Cecile’s
transiation to be with her sister forever,
Then she learned of it from Sir Roger's
lips. After he had told her of the way
in which Cecile had wished to give lier
such a permanent token of her love, he
said, sadly:
“Life will seemn very strange to me
now that Cecile has gone. For the
last three years I have hardly bad a
thought except for her, I shall miss

once been put on that way, it must be
left, or else it will make the day un-

One of the most extraordinary indi.

is imprasoned an insect of the sort call-
ed a “multiped”-—a woodworm with
many feet. This lady, who is not con-
sidered insane by those who know her,
never does any thing involving risk

it in her band, This is simply the feti-
chism of the African negroes, and noth-
ing more or less,

rather dangerous to taik of railroad ac.

A custom which prevails in Europe
is the covering of all pictures and mir-
rors with cloths while a bunal is taking
place from the house,
The hundred small superstitions,
such of fear of evil consequences from
the spilling of salt, from the breaking
of a looking-glass, from the howling of
dogs at night, and many more such
trifling circumstances, are passing away,
no doubt, but they still have a strange
power over many people who do not
believe in them, but who are thought-
lesaly influenced n them through a sort
of habit, Such a habit may be destroy-
ed by a little serious thought when one
