did
exactly as she pleased.
This especial afternoon, as sbe
sat meditatively before tho Are, sbe
suddenly broke the stillness, with so
eoergy of speech tbat made the
yonng girl reading in the bay-win
dow, nearly conoealed by the car-
tains, look startot'ly np from her
book :
'Ellioe, yon're a fool T
Evidently, Kllice Dnnning bad
not lived five years as companion
anl personal attendant to Vsa
Miner in rain, for she manifested no
surprise at the rough speech, beyond
the brief little startled look in 'her
soft winey-brown eyes.
Sbe closed ber book and came ont
into the room, a little flash on her
face.
"Do yon think so, Miss Jfmor
"Most oortiinty 1 think sj, or I
should not bare said to. Yon are a
fool, Ellice Donning, and I bate to
eee yoa throw y ousel f away so fool
ishly. Do show yonr common sense,
if you've got any, and let that yonng
jackanapes of a doctor go. Yoa are
better off without him. I'll give
yon a new sealskin socqne this win

"I conldn't give bim up, Mus
Miner 1 1 love bim too well."
Miss Miner looks 1 sarcastically at
F.llice's sweet flushed face, aud gave
a suiff of contempt.
"What nonsenao I Yon love bim
too woll. Love indeed I It's all ab
surdity. I never was in love in all
my life."
EUice dropped Iter bead in a prct
ly, little coufused way.
can't help that, Miss Miner,
I love Frank, end be loves me. We'd
bojperfectly miserable if we wero
parted. Please don't tell me I
mast give bim np. Indeed, it is im
possible. We are engaged to be
married just as soon as be comes
back from bis visit borne."
Miss Miner dropped her foot from
the polUluJ silver bt to tho tiled
hearth with a ressnwt bn as she
jumped np. indignantly. ,
Engine I to be married to Dr.
Oloviu ! DU I ever ! Well, F.J! ice
Dunning very Well.. Yoa rnny

gniug to New York on a visit by tho
0:10 train, anl I'll be buns on
Thnesdiiy. VVhon I Come back,
don't let me find you here, you uu
jjrnleful little wretch yon."
E lice's lips quiver el. and her
eyes filled with diamond bright
tears.
"Miss Miner. You dont mean
to turn me awny."
"That N jiiRt what I moan. 1
have told you time and again, I
didu t approve of men -boom and
love-making, and I won't havo it
where lorn. Yon can take yonr
choice me or Dr. Olovio, I'll give
yoa just five minutes."
''I don't want five minntef for a
choioe Miss Miner," she said proud
ly. Yon bave been very good to me,
and I cannot forget yonr kindnoss t
and I think I have done my dnty to
yoa, . But nothing no one could
come between me and Dr. Oleviu."
u All right, then. Don't lot roe see
you hero when I come back that's
all."
And tben Kllice went np to Miss
Miner's room and packed tho red
Russia satchel, dropping a few tears
as sho folded the garments Miss
Miner would require,
I'll go to Jfrs. Carisford Carl."
Miss Jfiner decided, as she sat in
the eity-boond express, in tho early
dask of the .November evening.
"Camelia thinks all the world of me.
Her daughter would not act, Tho
idea ! of preferring aetaalty prefer
ring a penniless young doctor,
with a mnstaobe -a nasty black
mustache to him. After all I've
done for ber, too.1
And tben Miss Miner leaned back
very contentedly in her seat, satis
fied that she bad dono ber whole
duty by herself, and Ellice Dunning,
too.
It was just 8:30 o'clock when the
hired hack deposited her at the door
of Mrs. Carisford Carl's red brick
honse a comfortable, cosy place
with name on tbe door ia foil
A servant showed her in, and aik

surprise her sister, and sent word
that a fried wished to see her while
she seated Izrx&t ia tho parlor,
where a little K?.lrU ottrled np . in
a enshioned ebalr, ratilej.
"Tod want to e y fiamma, I
"Yse" said Miea Miner, with
affable smile. "Yoa are Hetty, I
enppose 1"
Tbo ohild gave a heavy sigh,
"Yes, I'm Hetty. Ob, don't I
hate that name T''
"Why, ly. think it's a first rate
nemo. Yoa are a namesake of
somebody, I gness ?'
"Yes, 7 am. Old ffelty Mioer, my
anot, who lives out ia the dantry.
I never have seen ber and I don't
want to either, 'cause mamma ssys
she's tbe meanest old thing in all
creation a regular old Miss Nancy,
papa says."
Miss Minor smiled a little queer-
"Oh 1 that's what they say, is it f
Well, Hetty, I am yonr Aunt Min
er." The child opened ber eyos wider.
"Are yoa f Then, won't mamma be
mad I Wo expect company after
awhile, and mamma won't want yoa
at all. We'd be dreadfully ashamed
of yon before the Algerdooe. You're

yoa ' Papa and mamma said they

Aroyon t" said Miss J'oer, with
an insane desire to shake the pert,
sulf. I woulJu't depend upon it if I

Aud before .1i'S. Ctrl came down

street, on ber way to her bulf-brotb-er'a
bouse.
A pretty nest of vipers those
Calls are. Thank boaven, I've found
them out in time f (ioing to Europe

half as troacherous as my own flesh

And ber complacency was not yot
restored when she left the street
car on tbe nearest corner to Mr.
Parker Dollingby's bachelor quarters
tbat were ulight ia a perfect blaze
of bright cheer.
"It looks like a party," she
thought,
Hut all tbe same she did not besi
tale to go up the iraposiug stone
steps and riug the bell, to which no
responso coiuiug, she triod the door
knob, aud admitted burself into a
lurge, brilliantly lighted bull, at the
end of which was a room, from
which came the sound of rovelry
and jollification tbat bad prevented
her ting bjio hsir I.
Mine Minor wont into the first
door that stood ejtr, nod through
another partly-closed door she saw
the gay bachelor party some ton or
fifteen merry over their wine.
"So that's the way Parker Doll
ingby does, is it ?" sbe as ked her
self grimly, just as, tho same instant
that gentlemau rose bign, and for a
second silenced all others.
"Here's to tbo health of my most
respected anoient martneress a
veritable old maid, all forlorn, whose
legacy ie a long time coming, but
sure to get here some time. A cool
$50,000 or so, boys t and imsgine

Somehow Miss Mioer took her
self silently ont of tbe place. Sbe
was silent all the way to the botel t
and then, once in tbo room, locked
tbe door, and sat down and act
ually cried, and thon went to bed,
wondering if it was ever granted to
mortals to oome nearer to being
made a fool of than sbe bad beent

lint sbo rang for assistance, and
tho servant brought her a physician,
wbo happened to be staying over
night and Miss Minor's life was
saved from tho terrible attack of
gastralgia by Dr. Frank Oleviu,
"I'll pay yoa when I get home,'
she said, tersely. "Yoa can go

where Ellfoe Donning in readiness
to leaveby a traio sn hour later,
opened to door io answer to an . im

tightened stilt more a few minutes
later, when the lookout bailed again,
'She's'an armed brigantino, bearing

Every face among tbe crew seem

"And now Mr. Lyon," asked the
president "what is your charge ?''
Pat put np his spoctaoles a little
bighor, just a little, and siid :
"Oao hundred dollars "
"What! Ous hundred dollars fir

But tbe president and tho cashier,

to let op on them, and fix the look
so they could open the safo.
Pat complied with their request,
bnt still kept bis hand on the safo

"Now, be reasonable in your

bank president,
"Two buudrel dollars," sai l Pat

"Why, this is downright robbery,"
cried the president.
"Might as well break into tbe safe

tbe cashier.
"All right" said Pat, oirsasslog

In despair a third messonger was
