‘The Deacon drew a letter from his pocket.

“From the Colonel's lawyer,” he an- nounced.

Tne Colonel was the Deacon’s _half- brether, an elderly, eccentric person, who! had died a month ago in the village where

he had lived.

“Hasn't ts imned out to be worth a pile of money, and left it to us, has he?” said Gene gaily.

We was all at the postoflice when the mail come and took ’em together “It says’—he went on. slowly —**‘and Seth’s and William’s says the very same thing--—that it was the Colonel’s last wish that his daughter Melvina should have a home out here, with Seth or William or me. He said that whocver took her would | be doing an act of charity, and would be sartin to get rewarded in heaven.”

| **Well,” said Gene, going on with the

,Washtub calin’y, ‘‘of course uncle Seth is

' gding to take her? He’s the best able to.”

“Tl ruther expected myself,” said the Deacon hesitatingly, ‘‘that Seth would step forward in this crisis; but he hain’t. He said he didn’t hardly see how he could do it. He said Melvina must be somewhere nigh 59 by this time; and being an old maid

‘she might be cantankerous, and Julia Ann ' mightn't be able to get along with her. He | said William and me would have to settle at | between us.

' ‘He said he didn’t know how he could itake her, nohow,” the deacon replied. **He’s building his new barn, and he don't feel like having any more expense just now. | And he said he couldn't think of boarding ‘people without nothing more substantial

Gene looked around the | kitchen meaningly. | “T always thought a sight of the colonel,’ | said the deacon, looking up at the cracked | ceiling,” though he wasn’t nothing but a

| ‘You dear old silly Pa,” cried Kate, and ‘she slammed her appie pan on the table, ‘rushed around to the deacon’s chair and ‘kissed him violently. i “Your pa is right, children,” said Mrs. Holeomb, resuming her nt ing knife, quietly. ‘“‘Iit’s our duty plain as day, to take the poor creature.”

“There,” said the deacon, triumphantly. | **T knew where you'd stand! I told Seth hand Willi: um So. 5 **Well,” said Gene, rising from the wash

rather soberly. | “I’m afraid it’s true enough,” he said.

' ‘No such thing!” said. Mrs. Holecmb, briskly; ‘‘and s’posing it was, Mark Hill would marry her quick enough in her old ‘duds, I reckon.”

| But Gene,” said the Gescen, anxiously, '**Mebbe Melvina will make a difference about that. And he’ 8 set his heart on get-| ting an educat ion.’

He stood at the sitting room window, looking t! snowy, sunny world, and rubbing his work roughened hands with quiet satisfaction.

From the kitchen there came the odors of roasting pork, of simmering apple-sauce, of boiling turnips, and of hot mince pies,

From the sofa came the sound of low toned conversation, proceeding from the corner where Kate and Mark Hull were sitting rather close together—Mark being a prospective inember of the family, dropped into dinner occasionally.

Up the road there came the jingle of sleigh bells.

The deacon watched the little old- fashioned cutter eagerly as it came nearer, For the deacon’s resolution had been faith- fully carried out. He had written a cordial

There had come a prompt response to his letter—a brief note stating Miss Melvina! Holeomb’s acceptance of her uncle's hospitality; and stating further that she would start directly, and would arrive a few days later.

The day had come.

The driver of the little cutter, turning up at the hitching post with a flourish was ‘Gene; and the small bundle of green veil and water-proof cloak which he lifted down in the snow was his cousin Melvina.

The deacon hurried to the door; Mrs. Halcomb stopped in the act of mashing the turnips and rushed out into the porch; and Kate followed hastily, with Mark close behind her.

The bundle had made its way up the snowy path. The green veil had become disarranged, and there looked out from under it a sharp little face, with bright dark eyes, and two rows of faded cork- screw curls.

‘* We're glad to see you, Melvins,” said |the deacon; while Mrs. Holcomb pulled her ‘indoors kindly, and helped to undo the voluminoua waterproof cloak.

lt was a queer little woman that stood warming her small hands at the kitchen stove and looking sharply from one to janother when the last wrap had been re- moved.

She was certainly past 50—so Kate men- tally decided. She also decided that long ear-rings and a juvenile necklace, and tight curls, besprinkled with gray, were hardly becoming to her faded face; and

that her checked silk dress was not in the best of taste.

But she felt a warm impulse towards her cousin Melvina. There was a _ kindly sparkle in her eyes as she looked around the modest table—Mrs. Holcomb had taken up the dinner with hospitable haste—at the deacon, carving with a beaming face; at Kate and Mark, side by side, of course, and engaged at the moment in an affectionate altercation; at Mrs. Holcomb dishing tne apple-sauce, and at “Gene, who had come in, cold and snowy, from the barn.

She did not appear to be muchof a

talker. She answered their inquiries in chirpy monosyllables, turning her gaze

meditatively around the smalj bare room and through the door to the calico covered sofa and the well-worn rag carpet of the sitting room.

But she wore a look of quiet satisfaction and enjoyment, and by the time the mince pies had disappeared,” and the dishes been washed briskly by Kate’s nimble hands, and they were gathered around the sitting room fire, it had deepened into a positive ‘|warmth, which softened her sharp eyes and gave a pink tinge to her faded cheeks.

‘*T should judge, Unele Holcomb,” said Melvina, turning upon the deacon, **] should judge, now, that you ain’t so well off as you might be /”

It was an embarrassing inquiry. Mark Hill looked at his boots and pretended not to have heard it; and Kate and ’Gene ex- changed indignant glances,

Surely any other remark would have come better from their cousin Melvina

under the circumstances.

‘* Well, no;” said the deacon meekiy.

‘And I suppose,” Melvina continued calm'y, ‘‘I suppose Uncle Seth and Uncle William are better off now, ain't they

** Well, yes,” said the deacon; be.”

**So the colonel said. J always call him the colonel,” said Meivina.

And there was silence, broken sharply by the violent jingling of Melvina’s long earrings, as she sat straight up in her chair suddenly.

“*T sha’n’t wait another minute,” she said plecidedly, ‘the colonel advised me not to be hasty, look into things a little first. But J couldn’t know you any better if i waiter a year, you dear good man!”

Her listeners stared at each other in silent alarm, and Kate edged a little nearer Mark.

Was Malvina going out of her senses?
