She was the meekest and most docile little personage you ever saw. That, of eouise, was before she became my wid ow. How could she becomo my widow. when I'm hero alive and flourishing, to tell my own story? Just wait until I've llnished, and you will sec, She was very pretty, too, with pink auplo cheeks, and eyes of that peculiar translucent beryl-green that you s.ee so seldom, a slender lithe llgttrc, and a step as noiseless as if shu wore tho famous shoes of silence. There was something cat-like about her at least, so Fit Hrown said, butFitz-Iirown was always prejudiced against Lnellla. "Depend upon it, old fellow, she's married you for your money," said Fitz- Hrown. "It doesn't stand to reason that a girl of eighteen should tie heiself to a fat old heathen of fifty-four unless theie is some such motive lurking tin dcrneath. "Fltz-Hrowtt," I broke In Irritably, "you're a fooll'' 'I may bo a fool," answered that gentleman calmly, "but a slnglo fool Is not so bad as a married fool, iti any point of view you choose to take." There was no use arguing with Fitz Hrown. Ho Mas a stubborn, opinion ated old fellow at best, and he was de tcrmined not to like I.ucilla from the very first. How ho did exult when he canio down to iny odlce and told mo that Harry Sykcs wns spending the eve- iilug with Lucilla that same reckless young good-for-naught who had been wont to hang around her before wo were married. And I.ucilla had told me she was going to take tea with her mother. "Nevertheless I put on a bold face. "Well, let him spend the evening," said I. "irh'cre's the. harm?" "Yes; but but the curtains were not drawn, and and It Isn't necessary for him to sit on tho same sofa, with his arm round her waist." I went straight home, but Mr. Sjkes had departed, and Lnellla was darning my stockings by the fire. "I.ucilla," said I sternly, "I must forbid any more of Harry Sykes's visits here." "Yes, .Toslau," said my wife; "Harry Is rather tiresome." "And you will pleaso receive no more young gentlemen visitors In my ab sence." "Xo. Joslah." "Tbe fact Is, Lucilla, I am afraid you read too many novels," Perhaps I do,"sald my wifo meekly, I will bring up a set of 'Rollins An cieui History to-morrow ana some ser- mons for you to read. All lighter liter- atnro must he banished at once." "Certainly, Joslah." Could Fitz-Brown himself have ex. pected more complete or dutiful acml- e.-ceocx In all iny demands; lbHQSfsT Lucilla was pretcrnaturally affection-j ntc the next two or three days. She . hung round mo lu tho most bewitching manner, sewed my shirt-buttons on, ran ..... it... , i... I.. i iui uiy aiippeis, jtiiu luum insist, on toasting the bread herself, until her face was the color of n seal let tomato, "be cause cook Is so careless, and dear Joslah likes his toast browned just so." "What shall 1 order for dinner, dear? Tho butcher's man is here. Steaks ora roasting piece?" "I don't caie," I answered mechani cally. "Stilt yourself." "But you know your wishes are my pleasure, love." "StcaU3 then." "And about the pudding, sweet? Shall I tell the cook to maKp a real old English plunijor would you prefer baked suet?" Kcally It was very nlco to hear one's wishes consulted In this sort of manner. And when I departed for tho office, Lucilla herself stood on tiptoe lo tie tho worsted muffler round my neck. ''For If you should take cold, dearest, nnd anything should happen, it would break your dear llttlo wife's heart." Under these harmonious circum stances that sudden voyage to India came like a thunderbolt across the scienc horlzon.of our matrimonial life. "How shall I live without you six mouths, my dearest?" sobbed Lucilla, her lovely beryl eyes sw imming In tears. But we cannot always control necessi ty, and, after a mournful farewell, in which my wife fairly succumbed and went Into hysterics, I departed on ne cessary business for the linn of Miner and Jlortlake, I myself being the afore said Mortlake. How it happencdth.it my name was erroneously lugged into the details of that massacre in which the baibarous coolies murdered to many of tho foreign population, when I was actually ten miles farther up tho country, I never knew, and then my long fever, during which I found it impossible to write or obtain an amanuensis, served to com plicate matters. When I recovered, X resolve'd to proceed Immediately back to my native land. "I'll not write," I mentally decided. I'll surprise Lucilla, bless her dear lit tle heart! How delighted she will bcl" So I took passage in the first English steamer that sailed, pretty well cured of all iny romantic Ideas of travelling in foreign climes, and thoroughly con vinced that when a man has lived fifty odd years in the world his best place Is at home. Half way across, we hailed an Eng lish craft, outward-bound, and there was an exchange ot newspapers and other civilities. s 1 unfolded a London paper,scarcc- ly more than six weeks old, I saw, un der tho obituary notices, my own name. So I was supposed to be dead. A cm ions sensation, like tho running of cold water water, ctept down my spinal column an Involuntary shud der. It Is a sudden shock to read of your own death, and calculate how long you have been underground, and not by any means nn agreeable one. I don't think I'm dead," said I, stretching out my arms and legs, giving myself a pinch, nnd feeling the strong pulses that projected healthy currents through my veins, "and yet this evi dence Is certainly very convincing that T was murdered by barberous na tives on tho night of the Soth of May. Poor, dear little Lucilla I how Inconsol able she must bcl" So it happened, you see, that I was going homo to comfort my widow. It was a curious experience, to be landing at last to shrink away from the obsenatlon of one's fellow-mortals. as if one had no business in this created world; to feel like a disembodied spirit, come back to revisit the scenes of Its mortality, or a ghost, prowling abroad by garish daylight 1 slunk thiotigh by-ways and back lanes towards my home, not altogether certain whether some onp would not at tempt to exorcise me. It was late In the afternoon when we entered port, and tho shadows of the autumn evening were gathering round as I crept up the doois'.eps of my own mansion, and entered, stealthily as a robber. Were the shutters down, the windows draped, the house dressed la seemly habiliments of woe? Xot at all; lights glowed brilliantly behind the curtains, gay yokes echoed from tho parlor, and could my ear have deceived me? No, surely that was Lucllla's laugh ringing merrily on the air. "A little hysterical, perhaps," 1 thought, hut nevertheless, Instead of boldly entering the drawing-room aud confronting my wife. I instinctively passed on to tho glazed extension room behind, communicating, by draperies of purple silk, with the larger apartment a room where I had been wont to keep my books, and which I dignified by the title of 'library.' It was but faintly lighted by the bor rowed lustre of the drawing-room chan delier, and as I entered I stumbled over something It was my own poi trait, ig nominlously turned with Its face to tbe wall. I crept forward w ith an ominous fore boding a. sudden disagreeable recollec tion of Fitz-Hrown's croaking pi edi tions. But as I put aside the Tyrian folds of the curtain a most unwelcome vision met my eye. Lucilla In her widow's weeds. She looked very pretty in them, to be sure; the close crhnpled cap could not hide her clustering ripples of golden- brown hair, and her beautiful green grey eyes certalnly did not seem lo have wcpt themselves dim. Moreover, there ,VBrn .iimni,,.! rn,. in i,, ,,,,. - tmues upon her lips. and her (lreJS of 60mbre black only seemed to relievo the faIr transparent style of her was-doll fceiuty. Hut she was not alone. Close beside her on the sofa, actually playing with I her soft llttlo white hand, and bending devotedly over the border of tho widow's cap, sat Harry Svkest i "Come, Lucilla," he said impatiently, 1 "you havo tantalized me long enough. hen will you give mo this little treas ure of a hand, mid let me call you mine?" 'What nonsense, Harry!' said my widow coquetllshly.but she didn't with draw her hand, 'when you know that my husband hasn't been dead six months.' 'Oh, hang the old buffer! Who cares whether he I1.19 been dead six days or six months? He's gone, thanks to the coolies, and'he's willed you all the cash. You know very well you never cared for him, Lucilla.' My widow did not contradict this sweeping statement. 'Hut the look of the thing, you know, Harry dear. Don't squeeze my hand so.' 'Lucilla, don't you love me?' 'Of course I do with a charming lit tie pout. 'Then, my heart's rpuon, what is the use of keeping me In suspense?' 'Iieally, Harry,' she murmured, '1 don't know what to say.' 'Then say yes.' Luciila's head drooped until her wid ow's cap nearly touched her compan ion's shoulder. 'Yes,' she murmured at last. Human nature could stand this no longer. I dashed aside the purple silk draperies, and entered precipitately on the scene quite an unexpected addition to tho dramatis porsona.'. 'Not so fast, madame, If you please!' I cried with a sort of demoniac exulta tion. 'I may bean 'old buffer,' and you may 'never have cared' for me, but nev ertheless you and Mr. Slkes hero are getting along altogether too smoothly.' Lucilla sprang lo her feet with au eldritch scream. 'It's a ghost! It's Joslah' s ghost!' Mr. Harry Sykcs stared helplessly at me, as if he hat been paralyzed. No, madame. It's not Josiah's gli03t It's his living self. You thought you had got rid of mo, did you? An awk ward mistake to make, under the cir cumstances. Walk out of this honse.slr, and never let uic see your countenance again!' Mr. Sykos obeyed sheepishly enough. If there had but been something of tho supernatural Inscrutably mingled in my sudden appearance and vehement ad jurations, lie might havo stood by his colors and Lucilla. As it was, however, he adjourned sine die, without a word of apology to me or farewell to Lucilla. 'As for you, madame,' I said sternly, turning to my sobbing wife 110 longer widow 'you may go homo to yonr mother. I want no more of your treach erous wiles. Fltz-Urown was right I' Vehemently ringing the bell, I or dered a carriage and packed the bewil dered woman off bcfoio she could re monstrate. That was the end of my matrimonial experience, for Lucilla has never yet ventured to return to the shadow of my roof. Fitz-Brown and I are keeping house together, after an orthodox bachelor fashion. I think Fitz is sincerely sorry for me, but hu has never yet insulted me with the truism: "I told you so!1' THE RIVAL WIDOWS. She was a very pretty llttlo widow, and, though nearly forty, with a com plexion as fresh us though she had been fifteen years younger, and halrof alove- ly golden yellow, disposed about her head in a series of curls, which was simply ravishing. She was evidently vain of It, for she never passed a mirror without glancing at it, and if there happened to be any disorder or unbecomlngncss, she would hasten to her room to remedy It. At least so Mrs. Langley said; but then, some of tho ladles whispered among themselves that Mrs. Langley, the tall, handsome brunette widow, was jealous of Mrs. Helton. There were but two or three unmar ried men at lue 'L.aice Hotel' of an age suited to these fair widows, and of them the major was by far the most Import ant. Timo and again had he appeared smitten with tho charms of so mo fair lady, and time and again drawn back just as the fact was becoming patent to the lookers-on. This time, however, the major was undeniably smitten. Some said that he was in lovo with tho colden locks of the blonde widow, while others insisted that the dark eyes of Mrs. Langley had won biro captive. The major himself was evidently tin decided upon tho subject, being alter nately In attendance on one or the other. Aud so the two ladles, beneath a sur face of polIteucss,were at daggers points with each other. The brunette widow was certain that, had she the field to herself, she could bring tho major to her feet with little trouble. She was thinking, as with her little pot dog beside her, she reclined upon her lounge at the time of thcaftcrnoou's siesta. Tho day was warm, and the doors of all the ladies' apartments opening upon the corridor were ajar. Most of the fair inmates were taking their beauty sleep. '"Lie still, Puck," she said, as the silky llttlo spaniel awoke from his nap and became restless. Puck submitted for a few minutes, and then, noiselessly sliding to the floor. j slipped out Into tho passage and sought I amusement In his own way, j It was not five minutes after this that Puck's tnlstrcs3 aroused from the begin nlng of her nap. It was the dog that awoke her. There he wns, flying round and round to room, (hagglug after him what looked like, j8, most decidedly like the head of Mrs. Helton 1 Mrs. Langley sprang up, for 110 other lady at the hotel had precisely that shade and color of hair. It was good heavens ! It Is a wig! Here was a dlsemery. Indeed! And a light of mingled surprise, amusement and triumph sparkled lu the eyes of the handsomo brunette, as she surveyed the unexpected prize. Then, with the wig in her hand, she softly gilded Into tho passage, paused outside Mrs. Helton's door, and took a cautious peep within. There reclined the f.-vlr. plump, little widow herself, fair still, though her snowy complexion and delicate tenures were set off by only a thin mist of short, golden hair, which, If twisted all to gether, would not have made a strand as large ns her little finger. Mrs. Langley gently tossed the ruined wig upon the lloor, aud retired to her own room, closed the door securely on Puck. Mrs. Bclton did not come down to tea, though her aunt did. The old lady seemed considerably upset, and glanced suspiciously round upon the faces of tho ladies. But all looked so Innocent, nnd nil especially Mrs. Langley Inquired to naturally as to tho cause of her niece's absence, that her doubts were quieted. They could know nothing about It. It W.13 a lovely moonlight night, and tlie.ro was music nnd dancing in the saloon, and promenading on the lake terrace. Mrs. Helton, listening to the music. grew tired of staying in her own room. She could not possibly show herself In public for .1 day or two, In which time she could havo her wig restored to its normal condition. Why, therefore, should she not take advantage of tho moonlight obscurity to enjoy herself as she might bo per mitted? Mrs. Langley stared, and tho major brightened, as they saw her step upon the terrace. Her face was shaded by the folds of a silk scarf, which, falling to her shouldm, entirely concealed her head. Thus, she said, she mutt protect herself from tho dews and the breezes. They were all seated In a group when Mrs. Langley said: 'Did you ever see tbo Indian scarf- dance, Mrs. Gaylord?' Mrs. Gaylord had not; and the major begged a description of It. 'I would show It to you If I had a scarf, or If Mis. Helton wonld bo good enough to lend me hers for a moment.' Tbe blonde widow colored In the moonlight, and murmured something about taking cold. 'You could not not possibly take cold in this summer air, and you shall have my zephyr,' said Mrs. Langley, wlthhcr sweetest and most persuasive smile. What could Mrs. Bclton do? How could she refuse, will the eyes of all up on her, and especially tho major's eyes, who already looked a little surprised at iter hesitancy. Suddenly a thought flashed upon her. She raised her eyes and looked steadily at her llval. She saw It all In a mo ment; her secret had been discovered, and tomorrow, without doubt, It would be roado known. For an instant her heart failed her; but then she nerved herself to a bravo resolve. 'I am very sorry that I c.innot let yon have the scarf,' she said, In a volco which faltered despite herself. 'Why?' persisted her merciless tor mentor, with an air of Innocent sur pilsc. 'Because' it was hard to say, after all 'because I have not my wig on. 'Flora!' gasped Mrs. Gaylord. 'I shall have to make a clean brcaft of It,' she said, with a little laugh. 'One of the ladles' pet dogs was it not yours, Mrs. Langly'. got hold of my wig this evening, and has completely spoiled It." Tho major turned his eyes upon her with a sudden and glad surprise. 'So yon wear a wig, madam! So do I. now rejolcod I am to find a lady who happens to be In the same predicament as myself! Why, I would have married long ago but for tbo haunting fear of shocking my bride with the knowledge of my bald head.' Then there was a tableau! Mrs. Bel ton blushed and smiled a glad Bmlle, the major looked delighted, and Mrs. Lansley's face was white as she turned away. 'I lost my hair In a scvero Illness, and it has never grown again,' Mrs. Bclton explained. 'I had it made up into a wig. So you see it Is my own hair after all.' When the company broke up at tho 'Lake Hotel,' It was perfectly well known to everybody that the major and Mrs. Belton were engaged. And It was all Puck's doing. flAD BECOME MONOTONOUS. A New Yorker lately met one of tho 'American colon)' In Canada, aud in courso of conversation asked him tho cause of his seclusion. 'Why, I was a county treasurer In Illinois, and was 13 short In my ac counts,' was tho frank reply. You didn't have to skip for $13, did you?' 'Yes, sir.' 'I should have thought yon could raise that among jour friends.' 'Yes, you may think so, hut if you seen them put up j-,"00 to save Hie on the other term, you would understau 1 that the thing had become rather man-ctone-us.' j nit M rf- -THE BEST TOME.
