Hero's your Aunt Elllng- liam coming Here next week with her six children and tho nurse! They're had the measles, it seems, and the doctor has pro scribed country air, bo they've decided to inflict a four weeks' -visitation upon met "Oh," said Aldrich, guiltily, "I forgot to tell you. Ilnideo Claro wants to come hero tliis summer. She requires perfect quiet to finish her new novel, and bays sho retains such a delightful impression of Blossom Hedge from her last summer's yjsitl" "Oil, does sho, indeed?" said Mrs, Cone, dashing tlio cream and sugar reck, lessly into tho sea green china cups, "Aim wo must remember that your cousin inllclnnu has kindly volunteered to send Andromeda hero for tho sum mer, so that sho may forget that Iovo ailair of hers with Jack Jocelvn." "I'm afraid wo haven't room for 'cm all," Baid Mr. Cono, reflectively. "Oil, yes, you have," Baid Lally, with tears and laughter struggling in her voico. "They'll sleep on the hall hat rack, on tlio garret lloor or tho cellar shelves, sooner than forego the oppor tunity of getting good country board for nothing! And I shall do os I did last year get along without a new winter suit and do my own winter housework, because tho housekeeping bills wcro so lieavy during the summer. All our re lations are very particular, you know, nbout their eating and drinking, and we had to get now hair mattresses for the Johnson-Stnytkes, arid re-carpet Haidco's room because she 'perfectly abhorred' tlio out pattern. "It's outrageous!" said Cono, carving uio cniciiens. "uut i uon t know how wo aro to help ourselves without being tircaaiuity ruue. "Tell them plainly that they cannot come. "Our relations, Lally?-' remonstrated Cono. "It's an Imposition," said Lally. "It's only for a little while, my lovo, Let 'em couie.i "It will bo forall summer, Aldrlcli." "No, it won't. Til sco to that!" "What do you mean?" "I've got a plan in my head, my love." "A plan? , "Yes. You'll see.. Only don't ask any questions." "uur, Aiuricn, pleaded the young housekeeper, with every hospitabloCim. pulse risinc ui in her heart, "mm """ill-bo as pleasant as Punch to 'om. my love sco if I'm not." "Aldrich, what aro you going to do?' "Doiit I tell you, Lally. that it's a protounu secret?" "But you'll tell me?" "I'll tell nobody!" And to this platform Mr. Cono stead fastly adhered, In spito of Lally's protes tations and entreaties. 'llio authoress arrived, with several huge trunks, a typewriter nnd a ham mock. ( Miss Andromeda Falkland came by the next train "iiko Niobe, all tears" and Mrs. Effingham, her nurse, and hoi 6ix noisy, troublesome young convales cents, brought up the rear. "Ten peoplel" said Mrs. Cono to that trustworthy and reliable confidant, her self. "Oh dearl oh, dear! I might at well have taken a situation for general housework in a summer boarding house.'' "I don't see," said Mrs. Pepper, the minister's wife, "what that young Cone is thinking of to allow his wifo to bo so overridden with relations. Tlio weather is very hot, and bho is far from strong. And I am told thoy sleep themselves on a sofa bedstead in tho parlor to make room for that swarm of parasites." "My dear," said tlio good parson, "are you not . expressing yourself rathei strongly?" "I'm only speaking tho truth," said Mrs. Pepper, Hut it soon transpired that Mrs. Cono's visitors, like Barnum's happy family, could not agree. Miss Haidee Clara could not write without tlio accompaniment of perfect silence, Tlio littlo Efllnghams could not divert themselves without tho hoots and shrieks peculiar to their tender years, and both Miss Claro and Mrs. Effingham took exteption to tlio mournful banjo notes on which Andromeda Falkland was wont of in evening to bewail Iter blighted love. "Thoy aro quarreling like cats and dogs," sighed Lally to her husband. "Let 'em quarrel," said Aldrich. "What larks, ma!" said Erskino Ef fingham ono afternoon, as ho returned from a successful raid upon the liens' nests in thu barn. "Wo'vogot to take our hammocks and croquet out of the Maple lot." "What for?" petulantly inquired his mother. "Cousin Aldrich has sold it." "Sold it? How very inconsiderate of liim!" said Mrs. Effingham. "Sold it to whom?" "To tho cemetery people." "What!" "Tlio cem-o-to-ry peoplo," enunciated Master Erskino. "Tho railroad's a-goin' right through tho old grave yard, and they've got to havo u now placo. I heard Cousin Aldrioh toll tho carpenter to bring that load of fence posts right oil, and I heard him say, too, that it didn't matter so much because tliero had al ready been two or threo interments there." "Interments!" gasped Mrs. Effingham "under our very windows? Goodness .gracious mo! I never heard of such a tiling?" "If ye plasu, mlVumT" saidTb'elia, the nuiso, "that accounts for it." "Accounts for what?" "Tho ghoit. mum all in whito!" ut tered Delia, with chattering teeth. "I seen it last night, mum, as tho church clock struck 13; an' I seen it the night be fore. An' I don't wonder, ma'am the poor, dead bodies belli' dug up nnd scat tered around tills way. And if you plase, ma'am, you'll suit yourself at once, for not another week will Delia O'Hourke live next door to a church yard!" "Ma, ma," whispered Florence Efllnc-1 Jiam who had eagerly devoured overv word of tho discussion "I'm afraid of ghosts. Delta says chests, come after Live and Let Live." Httio girls lt tlioy nout" "Will you hush?" said Mrs. Effingham clasping her Hands In despair. "Aldrich wnat is tills Have you sold the Map! lot?" "Sold it! Why shouldn't I?" said Mr, oono, who just then camo in with string or speckled brook trout. "Thev uiteiiii iub it enpiiui price, and I'm not ricn nmn. " "But to a ccmoterv!" "I don't know n quieter neighbor than a cemetery," saiu Aldrich. "And I'm told," said Mrs. Effingham with a shudder, "that somo interment! navo already taken placo!" '!I didn't suppose you'd mind it, Aitnl iMiingiiam," said tho young host. "Mind it! Why, it's a semi-bnrliarous proceeding!" cried tho lady. "Do wi llvo in a civilized country, or do wo not?' "Mai" screeched Itudolnh Efriiiirlmm tho second son, jerkinir ut tho mntprnnl skirts, "hero's a load of lumber nt the nars n real big load. Bo you suppose that's lo make tho cofilns out of?" Just then Miss Clare stalked, a la Lady Macbeth, upon tho scene. "I attach .no importanco to vulgar f upeiBiiuon, - saia sue, glaring nt Mrs. Effingham.with whom sho was no longer on BiHjiiiung terms. "UI the dead I en tertain no fear. But tho living aro quit a uitteront tiling. And I certainlv saw a man, Cousin Aldrich, prowling nbout tlieso premises last night, witli a dark lantern." . "ino ghost! ' squeaked Delia. "I seen him, too! I did, with those eyes, the Diissttl salntA betuno rao and nil harm um oui oh!" "Peace, foolish woman!" said Haidco, "iliis was no shade! It was ti burly thief, intent no doubt on mischlof. 1 fcaw him try to open tho back parlor suuiici, ami tnon Neighbor Foxloy'e wagon drove by, and ho disappeared as if by magic.

"I can t sleep nights in a placo whero burtr. lars is clitnbin' up tlio trellis work, and jroor ghosts come stalkln' around when the church clock strikes midnight, and a wioie wagon load more coinih'. to niorry or next day,, from the cimctery! ucnriionei tno like or it ntver was heard before!" , "Ma, ma! can't wo go. too?

You're not nfrnid of jrhosts, Tire you, Lally?" "Wo! but" "Don't fret, my dear," said Cono. com posedly. "Tho cemetery has purchased a lot. but It liannens tn ha Mania Hill four miles to the east of us, - I'm not to urwju-.uu".i;'--ior- irsKino -iitungliam e blunder.' 'But tho load of lumber?" "I've sold tho place to Doctor Bassett ana lies going to build a tern of Queen Anne cottage I can't imagine any pieasanter neighbors than tho Bas, setts will bo; can you?" . "Y-yes," said bewildered Lally: "but tho interments that had already taken placo there? You said yourself "My dearest girl, don't you remember mat wo buried Mime, your pet spaniel unuer tno swcetbrier busli there? and the two canaries, last fall?" "Oil, Aldrioh, uren t you ashamed ol yourself! "Who I? Not in tho least." "But tho ghosts, Aldrich? tho bur glars? "Here comes Andromeda." said Mr. Cone, with a sudden assumption of more than judicial gravity. "Come here, you falso damsel, and own up at once what I'vo already been sharp enougn to discover for myself." Uli, Cousin Aldrich!" stammered poor Andromeda, blushing celestial rosy red, and trying vainly to hide- her face behind tho blue ribboned banjo in her nana. 'I am neither Delia O'Rourke, nor the Effingham children, nor yet Haidee Clare," mercilessly went on Aldrich. "And I shrewdly suspect that tho ghost was Jack Jocelyn in a white tennis Suit, haunting tho green field beneath his sweetheart's windows, and the burglar no other than Jack Jocelyn in black. climbing up tho trellis after n letter, which ho woll knew whero to find," Andromeda blushed redder than over. "Now I'll havo no moro of tills," said Aldrlcli, with mock sternness. "Con fess, young woman, at.onco, that you anil your lovo altatr are at tho bottom ol all this mystification. Jack Jocelyn line owned up. "Oh, Aldrich!" sobbed Andromeda, "And will you, too, turn against me?' "Not a bit of it." Bald Aldrich Cone. cheerfully. "Don't fret, littlo one.
