Pit.T Bobling took up his milk pail

"Not exactly a beau," said Mrs. Ennis '
"at least not yot. But I'm awfully

stupidly alone ull the evening, uiul you
always go to bed so early, Aunt Esther. "
Aunt Esther smiled quietly to herself.

sViulfcd out the candle, and betook her
self bedward. As she passed tho bed

wide enough to say :
Oh, by the way, Emily, I forgot to
say how much ob. ifou I was to you for
selecting that there wig for mo to-duy.
It is a beautiful match. "
Captain Clover looked at Mrs. Ennis.
Mi's. Ennis burst into a low, pleasant
laugh.
"Aunt Esther has quite forgotten tlmt
there is any ono here, " said she.-
Soyouve been buying wigs?" said
Captain Clover gravoly.
"Only one," said Mrs. Ennis. "I'm
rather used to the business. I always
Used to select Ennis's wigs for him."
It was Captain C over s turn to laugh
now, but it was rathor a nervous laugh,
notwithstanding.
"Emily, I wonder how you would cot
along with a husband that didn't wear
wigs?" hazarded lie,,
I don t know," observed Mrs, Ennis,
intent on a dropped stitch in her work.
"I never tried."
"Emily, suppose you were to try, "
"Well?" Sha glanced shyly up.
"Try me, Emily!"
"I don't know what you mean, Henry. "
"Well, I mean simply that I love you.
Emily, and if I hadn't supposed that you
cared for Peter BobUr, I Bhould have
told you so long ago.f
Peter Bobling, j'Ueedl" said Emily,
with a toss of her head.
"Emilj-yrni you marry me?"
"Yes, I wilt,'" said Emily.
The next morning Mrs. Mudge brought
mysterious box over to the Bobling
house.
"I just want to show you, Polly Bob
ling," said she, "what a lovely new head
o' hair Emily selected for mo yesterday.
There oan't no one tell it from real, I'm
sartin, whea I've got it fitted nicely on, "
Fetor Bobling hud just brought in an
armful of oven wood. He stood still to
hear the rest of tho conversation.
"La me!" cried Polly, turning as many
colors as a dying dolphin. "Why, I
seen her a selectln' it at Wilkins's yester
day, and I s'posed It was for herself!"
"For herself? almost screamed Miss
Mudjre. "For our Emily? Why, sho
ain't 80 yet, and her hair is as thick and
soft as brown satin! Oh, is that you,
Mr. Bobling? (to Peter who stood trans
ilxed, as It were). "We a'posed you was
sick, aa you iliitu'i Keep your appoint'
nient with Emily last night."
"No," said Feter, "lain tsict. Iguess
Pll call thero this afternoon."
"'Twouldn't be no use," said Mrs,
Mudge. "Emily s going up to town this
afternoon with Captain llonry Clover,
-llipy vv engaged.
"Whuff" shouted Peter Bobling,
"T.iey'or engaged," repeated Miss
Mi'de, uonJerlug if Peter Bobling's
heuriiu wits lwor.
And thuii ended the last dim gleam of
romance that ever brightened jvoor
Peter's llfo. Polly UtvlJiug declared it
w.ts not her fault. But then, as Peter
dolefully remarks, " Whoso fault was It?"
