Of course there was no church, and I began to get dinner. Harry, like a mas culine angel as he is, took off his coat and came down to help me, • with the p.ssur once that he actually could not sit still and hear the cook use the tone she did, i one instant longer. It was a merry day. Harry raked The fire till his glessy brown curls : were powdered with gray, which premature sign of age was produced, he assured me, "care, and not the weight cf years." He peeled potatoes so beau tifully that they were about as big as bul lets, after he had taken off the skin an inch thick all round. Pies were the only article of cookery with which I was prac tically acquainted, so I made a meat pie, two apple-pies, and short-cakes for sup per, which we ate with the dinner at six o'clock. It was late enough when we cleared up, but at last all was done but one thing. Harry was in the bath-room, refreshing himself, when I discovered the coal was all gone. I hated to call -him down, for he had worked hard all day, so I took the scuttle and went down in the cellar myself ; laughing to think how he would scold when he - knew it. I am a wee woman, and not very strong, but I filled the big scuttle, and tugging away with both hands, started up stairs. I was at the top, my labor nearly over,--when somehow, I cannot tell how, I lost my balance I reeled over, and the heavy thing came with me, down to the bottom of the stairs. I felt it crushing my foot. I heard Harry's call, and rush down stairs, and then I fainted. I know now. though I did not then, bow be lifted me in his strong ,arms, and carried me up stairs, and the touch of the cold water which he poured over me is the next thing I remember. As soon as. I was 'conscious, and able to speak, I. let him go for a doctor, lamenting that mother and Lou were both out of town for the EMI S. D. ILEL t LY summer. - Well, well ! it, was. a weary night; no time to scold, Barry said, so he petted, nursed, and tended- me, till my heart ached with its ',fulness of love and grati tude. Morning found me, my fractured ankle in a box, lying helpless in bed, and Harry promised to, send me a girl imme diately. So after all this long prelude I come to "our gal." Oh, I must tell you how Harry made me a slice of buttered toast for breakfast, by buttering the bread on both sides _and then toastingit.. It was iCout nine o'clock when my new girl came. Harry -bad given- her a dead-latch key, so she entered and came up to my door. Her-knock mettle first peculiarity that startled _me. One rap, loud as a pistol shot, and as abrupt.

It 'was a well:written, properly worded note from her forwer-mistress, certifying that she was, honest and capable, and I really had no choice but to keep her, so I told her to find her room, lay off her bonnet, and then come to me again. I was half afraid of her. She was net drunk, with those clear black eves shin traso brightly, but her manner actually Isavored of insanity. However, I was . !helpless, and then—Harry would conic has eatly as he could, and I Could cmiure to wait. I "Tell me your name," I raid, as she I came in with the stride and stop. "My name is Mary," she said, in a toe !so deep that it seemed to come from the very toes of her slippers. "Well, Mary, first put the room in or der Were the doctor comes." r;a. not I ou'il Oh, if words could only picture that scene i Fancy this tall, large, ugly woman, armed i I use the word in its full sense) with a duster, charging at the fur niture as if sl,e woe stabbing her mortal eaenly to the heart. She stuck the comb into the brush as if she were saving "Die, traitor :" aLd piled np the books as if they were fagots for a funeral flame. She gave the curtains a sweep with ker hand as if she were putting back tapestry fur a royal , procession, and dashed the chairs down in their places like a magnificent bandit; spurning a tyrant in his power. But when she came to the invalid Ebel was gentle, almost caressing in her natu-; ral manner, propping me up comfortably,] making the bed at once easy and hand some, and arranging my. hair and dress with a perfect perception of my sore con aition. And when she dashed out dace' room, I forgave the air with which she! returned and presented a tray to me,. fur l the sake of its contents. Such delicious tea and toast, and such perfection of poached eggs, were an apology for any! eccentricity of manner. 1 was thinking; gratefully of my own comfort, and watch ing her Lang up my clothes in the closet in her own style,, when the bell rang. Like lightning she eloSed the; closet door, caught up the tray, and rushed I down stairs. From my open door I could hear the following conversation, which must say rather astonished even me, already prepared for any eccentricity. ; Dr. Holbrook was my visitor, and of course bis first question was— "How-is-Mrs. Harvey this morning ?"! In a voice that was — th - e - reenceutrated ' essence of about cue dozen tragedies, my extraordinary servant replied "What man art then?" • "Go down, Miss Mary, or you will kill "Is the woman crazy ?"cried the doctor, me " I gasped at laSt.; "Lay not that flattering unction to Appazeiiily unconseions of the cluse your soul cried Mary. of my merriment, she went slowly from, "Il'ln—yes—" said the doctor mus- 2 , the room, waving, alternately, thepitcher !ugly; then, in his own cheery, brisk, and the wrapper. ; tone, he . adied : "You are the' new ser-1 To see her brandish it dust-brush would cant, I suppose ?,' !strike terror to the heart of the most "Sir, I will serve my mistress till chill ldaringspider; and noWords of mine can death shall part us from each other." -';cleseri - be the frantic energy with which "H'm. Well, now in plain English, she punches pillows, Or the grim satjs go tell her I am here." ;faction on her face at ithe'expiring'ar,m "I go, and it is done!" was the reply, and with the slow stride and halt I heard her dross the entry. She was soon at my door. "3ladain, the doctor waits !" she said, standing with one _arm out in a grand attitude. "Let him come up," I said, choking with laughter. She went down again. "Sir, from my mistress I hare lately come, to bid you welcome, and implore you to ascend. She waits within yon Ichamber for your coming." Is it to be wondered at that the doctor ; found his patient in perfect convulsions lamibter, or that be joined her in ber LP effilyetit "Where did ydu find that treasure ?" he asked. I ' "Harry sent her from the office." "Stage-struck evidently, though rrhere she picked up that fifth cut actress than. ner remains to be seen." The professional partof his visit over, the doctor stayed; for a chat. We were warmly discussingi the news of the day,, when—whew! th'e door •,flew •open, 'and in stalked Mary, znd announced, with a swing of her arm+ "The butcher, madam !", I saw.'the doctor's eyes twinkle, but he began to write in his memorandum book Kith intense gravity. "Weil, Nary," i'said, "he is not wait ing?" • "The dinner gaits 1" be replied.— "Shall I prepare the viands as my own judgment shall direct, or will your incli nation dictate to me ?" "Cook them as you will," I said, "but have a good dinner for Mr. Harvey at • two o 'clock. " `"Between'theltrokes 'twill wait his_ :appetite." And with another sweeping izourtesy she left the room, -the door, as usual, after her exit standing wide open. She was as goorl as her word. With 'out any orders from me, she took it for granted that Harry would dine up stairs, : and set the table cut in my room. I was beginning to let my keen sense of the ,ludicrous triumph lover pain and weari - !nes!, and I watched her, strangling the laugh till she was i down stairs. To see her stab, the potatoes, and behead the eel s cry was a perfect treat, and the air of a martyr preparing pbison with which she poured out th 6 water, was perfect. Harry was evidently prepared - tOr fun, for he watched her as keenly as I did. i Not one mouthful would she bring to !me, till she had made it dainty as could `be ; mashing my potarpes with the move ments Ufa saint erttshing vipers, and but , tering my bread joie. manner that fairly tranSfarmed the knife into a dagger. : ret the moment she brdt , ht it to me, all the affictation dropped,l and no mother could have been more naturally tender. Evi dently, with all .lar nonsense, she was kind hearted. • j It took but one day to find`that we had (secured a perfect treasure. Her cooking l.way ex'quisite etiougb for the palate of an epicure; she was u'eat to a nicety, and I :soon found her trustworthy. Her atten ' dons to myself were touching in their watchful kindness. 1 Soruetite&i,when the pain was very severa, and I could only ; lie suffering and helpless, her large hands would studothe my 'hair softly, and her voice become almost musical in its low ruurrnurings of "Potr child I Poor little lone I think her large strong frame and consciousness of physical superiority to me in my tiny form and helpless state. roused all the motherly tenderness of her nature, and she lavished it upon me freely. I often questioned her about her for mer places; and diseovered to my utter amazement that she, I never was in a the atre, never -saw or read a play, and was! :entirely innocant of novel reading. • I had become used to her manner, and Ino longer feared sht• was insane, when! ;one evening my gravity gave way utterly, !and for the first He I - laughed in her face.

Suddenly. a 'drunken man in the:, street called out, with a yell that really was startling, though' by tw means mys-: terious. Like a fialb, Mary struck an attitude. One foot aldvanced, her body ' thrown slightly forwalrd, the pitcher held 'out, and the wrapper waved aloft, Ebel cried out in a voice of perfect terror— " Gracious beavin6 1 .

The funniest] part of all is her perfectly stolid uncons'cioastiess of doing anything out of the way. Barry round out the explanation. She has lived for ten years with a retired actress and actor who wished to bury the knowledge of their pastj life, and who nev er mention the stage. 'Retaining in pri vate life the attitudes and tones of their old profewion, they hate made it a kind of sport to burlesque tie passions they so often imitated, and poor Mary uncon sciously has fallen into habit of copy ing their peculiarities.
