I shall have enough of youljefore
you go, Miss Impudence. What are
you remarking about my room?" 1
"Nothing b-it the truth; the paper is
soiled, the celling smoky, the furniture
miserably shabby. Now let me re
model It, will you?"
Her uncle looked at the earnest face
for a moment.
"Not nice enough for a visit?"
"Y'es, indeed. Uncle Tom! My visit
w ill be over by the time I get the room
arranged, but 1 should know you will
have a nice, cheerful library the com
ing winter."
"Commence then at once If you are
so anxious for me to be comfortable.
But you need not do the work yourself;
just oversee, and have it done good
and substantial, keep an accurate ac
count of all expenditures."
"1 will," answered Kate. "And if
I please you in this, may I refurnish
your own room and wake it look bright
and cheerful?"
"We'll see." he answered, as he left
the library, saying to hunseir, "There
Is something iu that girl I do not
understand."
Uy noon Katie had the old paper off
the walls, with the help of one of the
servants, and then weut to the city for
punters, papor, carpet and all the
things she needed. Her uncle told her
o please liersoir. She only &ti;ulated
:r him not to enter the room until all
was completed.
How Katie did work and plant And
when all was finished a bright tire was
ht in the open fireplace, with its shln-
in brass andirons; a library lamp shed
it. soft rays over the long table; Uncle
Tom's own bookcase, so polished you
could never have guessed It to be the
same, stood iu its usual place, a writing
ccs& stoiKi near, uileo. with all ueces
sary articles, and in the cosiest corner
was placed an easy chair. A dressing -
town was tkrowu across the back, and
a pair of slippers on a soft ru; lu front.
Katie was prettily dressed "for the
opening," she said, as she came into
tiie uiuing-room.
"It is open sesame to-night. Uncle
Tom; no lingering at the tea-table."
Kate led ttie way. taking her uncle's
arm, and placed him in the easy-chair.
"My!" he exclaimed. "This is
princely. Where am 1? You must
belong to the fairy clan, Katie."
"Only the fairy of money, Uucle
Tom."
Money!" exclaimed Clara. "We
shall a'.l be in the poorhouse if things
j gj tn at this rate."
! "We ought to," said Uncle Tom. "if

I 'l don't care for cost." he au-
I swered. "I shall give yououe thousand
dollars in the inorumg, ami you can

"You are crazy. Uncle Thorn is!"
whined Clara, "That girl will bring
us to want, to absolute poverty."
"She will bring nie some comfort
what you never did so plea'je keep

Clara saw for a moment her fortune
wavering, and held tier peace.
The next morning L'ncie Tom was
up before Katie, seated in his easy
chair, with a bright tire, feeling like a
king, he told her, as she entered with
her pleasant greeting.
"I want you to kep on Dxiug.

Clara was cous'.a it'y linding fault

are Uncle Tom's heiress; why should
you care?"
I shall sell the old place at once
when It is mine and live iu the city,
and this spending so much money does
not suit me."
"Wait until you get the Heights,"
said Uncle Tom, coming iu at that
moment.
Clara apologized, and sa'.d that Katie
was taking away the home look.
'It is more comfortable," said her
uncle. "You let Katie alone; I will
take all the risks. Keep right on, my
little girl; it suits me.'
"Foreign letters, Katie," said Uncle
Tom, as she came into the library one
morning, "from the sou of my old
friend. Colonel Shepley. I was iu the
East India trade with him for many
years, and finally sold out to him when

have never forgotten the happiness I
enjoyed there."
lia'ph leaned from the carriage to
get the first view, and soon the well
remembered mansion was in sight,
brilliantly lighted for the reception of
its guest.
Kalph had never seen Clara, and to
night, is a wonderful attire that set
off her blonde beauty, she looked very
handsome. Katie came forward, ex
tending her hand in cordial welcome.
"I cannot realize,"aald Kalph, that

unforgiving. Surely you do not think
I am a mergerer now?"
"I have not forgotten poor Bessie's
fate, but think I forgave you when you
went away so long ago," said Kate,
laughing.
How bright and pleasant were all the
surroundings, and how Uncle Tom did
enjoy his home, thus renovated!
Katie saw little of Kalph the next
day, for Uncle Tom kept him pretty
close. Ciara was invited to play after
dinnr, and acquitted herslf finely.
"Y"ou play, Miss Clifton?" said
Ralph.
Uncle Tom was quick to answer:
"Katie plays my music; we will have
some this evening, with a song or two.
And now. Ralph, I want to take you
out behind my grays. The girls might
come, but there will be time enough
tor tnat. and to-day I want you to my
self." They did not return until tea time.
both feeling refreshed by their ride.
In the evening Unle Tom was re
minded of bis music.
"les, yesl Katie, show Ralph what
you can play."
"He will surely think me a queer
girl, and not very refined." thought
Katie, as she went for her banjo.
"Here i your place, Katie." said
Lncle lorn, and he drew a low seat
beside Ins.
Ralph Shepley thought he had never
seen a race so urignt. so beautiful, or
listened to a voice s sweet. What to
him was the piano when the rippling
music of Katie's banjo and voice was
In his heart and quickening all his
pulses to its sweet music? And when
lie bade her good-night, with a warm
clasp of the hand, he said:
"Thank you. Miss Clifton, for your
music; the dear home songs have done
me good."
Ralph Shepley was a true and noble
man, and could detect the real from
he false, especially In woman. He knew
that Clara's sweetness and homage to
Uncle Tom was assumed aud for a
purpose. This he discovered lu a few
day's intercourse. His heart was drawn
toward Katie; she might be a little
impulsive, yet she was frank, warm
hearted and true. T o please L nele
Tom he must be attentive to Clara,
yet the hours passed iu her society were
endured, not enjoyed, as were those iu
Katie's.
"Katie," said Ralph, one morning
'vou Know I promised to bring you i
ace offering on my return. Why
on't you ask for it?''
I supposed it was forgotten long
go. with the drowning 01 poor Ues-
sie." said Katie.
No, here it Is," at the same time
handing her a qualut-lookiug box.
Opeu it."
"I see no place,"she answered, after
carefully examining It.
Ralph touched a concealed spring;
Instantly the outer covering opened.
aud a box of elegantly carved wood,
intermingled with ivory and gold, met
her gaze; a sweet per lu rue filled the
room. Even Uncle Tom. who was
familiar with these foreign, curious
things, exclaimed at Us beauty.
I am very grateful, Ralph, for this
beautiful remembrance, and will prize
it as my choicest treasure."
"And a sweet monument to liessie's
memory," laughed Rilph. "And now
for the walk you promised me to what
you consider a curiosity."
" Yes, It is curiosity, at least, to me.
though Uncle Tom doesn't think so. "
The days were passing In quick suc
cession. Kate Ielt sue must go Home.
Every day Ralph Shepley was growing
dearer to her heart. She did not in
tend this to be so, did not Intend to
interfere with Uncle Tom's plan. Of
course he would marry Clara Clara,
who would have Uncle Tom's estates
and why should she think of him
longer? She would go home; she would
tell Uncle Tom this very night, and go
to-morrow.
'Uncle Tom," said Kate, entering
the library, "I must go home to-morrow,
for I have beeu here a long time."
What!" said her uncle. "Uoing
home? Been quarreling with Ralph r"
"No, indeed!" said Kate, laugbing.
"But I ought to go. 1 ou do nut need
me any longer, and, X think, can dis
pense with my services."
"I am not feeling well this evening.
Katie. Y'ou will not go and leave me
sick?"
"Y'ou will be better In the morning,"
she answered brightly; "but 1 will not
leave you ill."
Uncle Tom was not better in tne
morning, and a t.hysician was called,
who pronounced the symptoms to be of
a contagious character.
Tell the family aua servants tne
full truth. Dr. Blake. Get me a uurse
and I will do the best I can "
The doctor did his errand promptly.
but the servants, who had been la
Captain Tom's employe for a long
time, said they shoma remain.
Clara commeucea packing at once.
and lu less than two hours was away.
In the meantime Katie had entered
the sick room, ami, bending tenderly
over her uncle, said
Here is your nurse, Undo Tom;
how do vou like her?"
I see no one. Katie; where is sne.'"
lust here, beside you."
"Oh, you must not, K tle, you must
not!'
I must, and you are to obey orders.
Now take this and try to sleep like the
good old boy I know vou will be."
A look of intense happiness stole
over the old man's face, and Katie
watched beside him until he slept. She
went to the library aud found, much to
her surprise, Ka'pti Saepiey.
"Y'ou here, Ralph? Do you know
the danger?'.
"I only know there Is no danger I
would not share with you, Katie, my
darling. I may ted you now how
love vou. though you must have seen
and known this long before. We will
watch aud care for Uucle Tom together,
and then I may claim you as my own?
One little word, Katie."
"Yes. Ralph, when Uncle Tom is
well."
They were faithful watchers, and In
a few weeks Uncle Tom was about the
house. His first act was to send word
to Miss Clara that her presence was not
needed at the Heights. Captain Tom
had made a new will and t is needless
to say who was the heiress. A small
aunuity was left to Miss Clara, and
even this was through Katie's inilu
ence. A few weeks later Clara read the
following:
Maukied. At the Heights, resi
dence of Captain Thomas Mardeu.
Ralph Shepley. Esq.. to Miss Kate
Clifton. The newly wedded pair will
visit Europe, and on their return make
the Heights their home."
Only a Face.
Only a face! Only a pair of blue
eyes; yet they haunted Harold Dane
by day and lu his dreams by night.
One evening, towards dusk, as liar
old was passing a store, something In
the window attracted his attention.
He paused a moment to look, and as
he did so a young girl brushed lv him
and entered the stoie. He looked up
and caught a glimpse of the prettiest
face he had ever seen. She could not
have teen more than eighteen; she
even looked younger. Her hair of taie
gold fell iu tiny rings all over her head.
giving her a somewhat boyish appear
ance. Her face was as beautiful as a
dream, and her eyes were as blue as
the midsummer sky. Harold Daue
waited a few minutes to see if she
would come out; but he w iited in vain.
"Hello, Harold, old boy I" exclaimed
a cheery voice, "what are you staring
in that store for?"
Harold quickly turned and found
standing by his side a tall, thin young
man with brown hair, gray eyes and a
drooping brown moustache.
"Why, Charlie, you quite startled
me." he said: where did you spring
from?"'
'Why, I have br.'n watching you
the last half hour from across the
street and wondering what you were
looking at," said Cuarlie, taking out
his watch. "I say, old hoy. it's club
time; come on."
So the two walked off. and no sooner
were they out of sight than the young
girl came out of the store and walked
rapidly off iu another direction.
The days passed slowiy to Harold
Dane; nothing satisfied him. One
afternoon he received an invitation
from his cousin. Iady Hilda Warren,
to attend her birthday reception that
night, lidy Hilda aid Harold were
half engaged; but after he had seen
that face aud those eyes, Lady Hilda
held no charm for him.
Harold Dane was very h.indsome,
tall, dark, with black eyes and blacc
hair. He was just twenty-three. Lad7
Hilda was nineteen, a blonde, and very
pretty.
She looked beautiful the night of her
reception. Her dress was of pale heli
otrope silk, embroidered with silver,
which glistened in the light like dia
monds. JL idy IlilJa went forward to
greet her cousin with a smile upon
her face.
"I am ever so pleased to see you,
Harold. I thought you had forgotten

for over three weeks."
"You miut pardon me, cousin, this
time," said Harold, as he placed his
cousin's arm within his and promen
aded around the room.
The evening passed away brilliantly
to Harold, aud he was aoout to make
his adieu, when all at once he was
lrawn to the w indow by some Irresist
ible power. Only a face, just a minute
an 1 then it was gone like a Mash. As
quick as lightning Harold opened tha
low French window and sprang out;
aud although he searched the grounds
thoroughly, he found no trace of the
owner of that face.
The next day London was ringing
all over with the dreadful news that
Lady Hilda was murdered and all the
family jewels were stoleu. The perpe
trators of this dreadful crime had not
been found. They had decamped with
out leaving a single clue behind. The
news almost killed Harold uane, ior
he thought a great deil of Lady Hilda,
aud although the poor girl was dead.
be would always remember her as lie
saw her last. For two weeks he lay
between life and death, and when he
was able to go around again he was a
Iierfect wreck.
One day, while sitting at 111s wiuuow
a carriage drove rapiuiy past wnu one
occupant in It, aud that occupant was a
woman the woman wnom ne naa
seen but twice ana wun wnom no was
deeply in love. In two seconds he was
down the stairs and hailing a passing
cab.
"Follow that carriage in front!" he
exclaimed to the driver. They drove
on until they came to Watetloo sta
tion.
If you please, sir," said the driver.
"the carriage has stopped."
Very well; here's your fare," and
Harold sprang from the carriage. The
girl was evidently going ou a journey,
for she carried a large valise in her
hard. She kept looking atound as if
afraid, and started to walk away when
Harold went up to her.
"Can I help you?" he said.
She started as if afraid; then an
swered in low sweet toues, "No, thank
you."
Harold was about to say sometning
more to her, when two men came up
and looked her full in the face.
'That's the party," said one, at the
same lime springing a pair or uanu
cuffs on her.
"What means this outrage?" cried
Harold.
'It means she's our prisoner," said
the other man, opening his coat and
showing a detective's badge.
'Oh, sir!" exclaimed the girl, pleasa
protect me!"
That I will with my life!" said
Harold.
"This is the third time I have
seen this lady, gentlemen; I know noth
ing of her, and have never even spoken
to her until now; yet I will defend her,
for 1 love her, aud am willing to make
her my wife!"
"What! Would you marry a man?"
said one of the detectives.
"Why, what do you mean? Ex
plain, sir," cried Harold.
'I will, sir. This person is none
other than Ben Pike, forger, thief, and
murderer or Lady Hilda Warren."
"Heavensl is this true? Speak.
woman, man! whatever you are," cried
Harold.
Yes, it's true; curse you! If I did
not have these skirts on, I could out

male. So while he was carried off to

Hal and I were very dear friends.
He was 20 and I ten years older. He
was the son of rich parents in New
Y'ork. and I was a sort of guardian to
him. at least during our summer recre
ation, having beeu appointed to act iu
that capacity by his doting father, who
repocied perfect confidence in my friend
ship.
Becoming tired of the seashore, Hal
got it into his bead that it would be a
flee thing to make a pedestrian tour.
northward, through the woods to Can
ada, well, our journey up the Ken
nebec was very pleasant, but when we
had left the boat and the stages behlrd
us, and when we saw the last house
ami began to camp out beneath the
tree3. Hal grew homesick. Ttie realr
ties were not what he had anticipated
Our provisions were an gone, aud we
were in danger of literal starvation.
That day Hal had been vainly try
ing to secure some gUme for our din
ner, lie looked already ten years
older than wheu we started on our
Journey. Exposure and unaccustomed
exertion had told 011 him feai fully.
There was a hectic tint on his cheeks
and an unnatural look about his eyes.
What if he should die here? Aud
what should hinder him from dying if
his strength should fail, if he should
fall sick?
These thoughts were passing through
my mind, when I caught the sound of
something stirring in the forest In
stantly I grasped my ride, aud sta
tioned myself behind a clump of shrub
bery. Was It a deer? Nervously I
raised my rifle, and my Cuger was on
the trigger, wheu Hal sprang to his
feet, aud knocked up the weapon, aud
cried excitedly, "Hist look there."
A light breeze at that moment had
partly blown aside the bushes in front,
disclosing a young girl, perfect both in
form and feature, lying ou the forest
grass, under borne oversbad owing
birches, sound asleep. She was dressed
in simple white muslin.
A picture of more bewildering love
liness I had never seen. My rifle fell
to the ground. Hal's noise in rising
aud his exclamation awoke her. She
raised her head, looked around startled,
and then, seeing us, sprang to her feet
and turned as if to run.
I stepped forward, lifting my cap,
"Pardon us." 1 said, for alarming you.
but vou have nothing to fear. We are
lost m this forest. Can you guide us
out?"
She stopped at this, glanced from me
to Hal. aud blushed rosily over face
and neck. Lost!" she said. "Why,
it is onlv half a mile to the road, and
my father's house is not half that dis
tance. Lost, indeed!" with a gay little
laugh of incredulity; and she shook her
head. "Whoever heard of such a thing
as patting lost In my father s woods f
Mv father will be glad to receive you,"
she said, demurely, her eyes falling be
fore his. "1 will show you the way.
You had better come now, for your
friend there looks sick."
Our fair conductor went tnpplug on
before us and we soon reached the farm
house.

young. At last Hal's youth brought !
him round.
One day it flashed upon me, all at
once, that Hai was iu danger of falling
iug in love with Jennie That very
afternoon I said to Hal, "I shall get off '
to Aew 1 01k to-morrow morning.
Can sou be ready?"
He started suddenly and gave me a
penetrating look as if to read my
thoughts. Then he flushed scarlet and
said:
"Of course, I will be ready."
That was alL liut I felt relieved.
Once get him away," I reflected, and
he will soon forget all about 11."
The next morning we were off

Soon after our return business called
me to California, where I remained
for a year.
During this time I heard nothing
from Hah The little incidents of our
tour in Maine, meantime, had beeu
forgotten. Uut wheu I returned to
New York I called ou Hal at once.
Delighted to see you back again,"
said Hal's father, into whose presence
I was ushered.
"Aud how is Hal?" I said.
"Hal? I have not seen him for an
age."
Have not seen him? Where is he?"
He is in the city. I suppose you
know Hal is married?"
I did not," I said, still more sur
prised.
"les, he married a penniless girl
from somewhere in the woods of Maine,

so displeased that I told him he must

spirited enough to do so. He and 1

doing business in a small way for
himself, and, I understand, success
fully." '1 am sorry to hear th's," I sail.
Can nothing be done?"
'Well, perhaps." answered his
father. "We have been headstrong ;
aud foolish, and both too proud to
acknowledge it. But 1 want Hal I

quite make up my mind to go to Hal
myselr, aud I want you to do it for
me. Y'ou used to have great influence
with him."
'I shall be happy to serve you iu
this."
"When will you see him?"
"To-night. The sooner the better.''
And so it was decided. The father
was to remain 5n the ca: 1 iage while I
went lu.
Hal's house was a small, neat cot
tage iD the suburbs. A vigorous tug
at the bell soon brought out the pro
prietor, lie looked at ma for a 1110
mement, as if to identify me; and
then 1 felt a pair of strong arms
around my neck.
"Why, you dear old fellow," cried
Hal. "Where did you come from?
I'm so glad to see you! Where have
you been all this time?':
As he spoke he took me into a cosy
little sitting-room, and before I had
time to reply had disappeared. When
Hal returned I caught, for the first
time, a glance at his face. It was the
same fresh, joyous face, only there
was a serious manliness now in place of
tiie old boyish expression. He was fol
lowed by a fair-haired, rosy-faced young
creature, w hom with a proud air he in
troduced as his wile. Where had I
seen her before? All at once the
truth flashed ou me.
Why, you are Jennie," I exclaimed,
and took both her han ls in mine.
'Yes, 1 am Jennie," she answered,
and blushed again, redder than ever.
W e sat down and began to talk. I
broached the subject of his father.
T can never go back to him," said
Hal, "unless he makes some advances
first, and he will never do that."
"Are you quite s sure?" said a deep
voice behind us. We looked around.
So eager had been our conversation
that we had not oh-erved the opening
of the door. "Are you quite so sure,"
said Hal's father, for it was he who
sjwke.
"My dear," he continued, advancing
and bow iug low to Jennie, "pardon an
old man, who lias come, though late.
to ask your forgiveness. I want your
husband to be my son again. 1 want
you to be my daughter. I want you tc
come and live witli nie that is, if you
cau take pity on one so utterly forlorn."
His voice broke down as lie nuished.
Jennie burst into tears, rushed for
ward and impulsively threw her arms
about the old man. As she clung to
him and kissed him I knew that the
reconciliation was permanent aud com
plete. All this happened years ago. Jennie
is now a leader of society in New York,
and the most beautiful matron at the

How Colonel Desmond. Won Uis Wife.
Mrs. Ray nor was the envy of the
country. Her dresses were copied by
her less fortunate neighbors, and her
country place was a dream of pastoral
beauty. About her past little was
known, except that she had lieen an old
man's darling who had died and left
her in possession of a great estate.
She was cold as she was beautiful,
and it was said by ner admirers that
she had no more heart than a stone. A
guest at the Hall during the summer
was Colonel Desmond, au old friend of
uer lather's. He was not a young
man. but he had a Due face, and she
i.ked bim because he was accomplished
and rnnrrpniui
j Colonel Desmond was very attentive
1 to the young widow, but while she was
j touched at the wistful loneliness In his
eyes aud his lameness, it was hard for
1 iter to think of resigning her widow
j hood.
1 There lay the contradiction of this
pretty woman's character. She liked
him well enough and would have been
glad of his gentle attentions all her life,
but to marry him was quite another
thing.
They were both spending a week with
a party of guests at Merton Hall, a
neighboring estate. Pretty little Mrs.
Merton was something of a match
maker, and she thought she would lend
her aid iu bringing them together.
The visit had been a very enjoyable
one for Colonel Desmond, and it was
with regret that he looked lorward to
his departure. As for Edith Riyuor,
she had made up her mind that it was
best to let him go back to India aloue;
that she would not say a word to keep
him. Y'et It troubled her that he must
go.
On the day before Desmond was to
leave Merton Hall lie came upon Mrs.
Raynor reading In the library. She
started up as if to leave the room, her
lace flushed, her eyes bright.
"Edith,"' he said, stopping before
her with pleading eyes, "I am going
away to-morrow Give me some en-
couragement before I go! Tell me

"That would have been very fool
ish," she said, speaking quietly, at lan
' dom. "The world is a charining place,
i ir only we keep our affections well in
i hand."
j "Do not send me away with a le

I A ladder had been placed against the
burning building, aud Colonel Desmond
sprang up the rounds With a lightness
that was miraculous, in view of his
lamene&s. Those below saw his tall
' hgure outlined darkly against the
flames, saw it disappear in the burning
room, reappear with a white shape in
his arms.
