Saying nervously, “l’veafew chores ta do,” he seized his hat, and hastening out, wand- ered discontentedly around the barn. “ I’m never going to be u-ble to stand her,” he groanod. “ I know now why my poor wife shuok her liezul whenever this woman was mentioned, The, clack of her tongue would drive. {my 1mm living; crazy, and the gimlit eyes of that girl Jame would bore holes “ AM in i ‘ hero with June will make all the \liilltrcucu in the world,” resumed Mrs. Mumps/m, with as saccharine rm expression as sin: (,J‘Jlll assume. “ They will come out of pure kinxlnms and friendly invcnmb with the wish to encourage ”-~~# “ 1 Im‘xm 15:: m-igghhors will not be so ill- mumm m1 as tomme without biting; invit- ed,” rummfiw/l Mr. Holumft, L'x’imly. ‘Vr, too late in L? * (my for them to h in now.” “011, you‘ll see,” she replied, wrinkling her thin, blue lips into what she meant for a smile, and noxllling her head at him on- coux'ugingly.

MrsfMumpson smiled upon him-if cer« tain contortions of her thin, sharp face could be termed a. smileâ€"from that side of the table at which his wife had set so many years, and he saw that the low rocking chair which he had preserved jealously from his former “ help ” had been brought from the parlor and established in the old fami~ iar place. Mrs. Mnmpson folded her hands and assumed a. look of deep solemnity; J sue, as instructed, also lowered her head, and they waited for him to say "grace." He was in far too bitter a. mood for any such pious farce, and stolidly began to help them 3to the ham and eggs, which visnds had been .38 nearly spoiled as was possible in their 5preparation. The widow raised her head lwith a. profound sigh which set Holcroft’s :teeth on edge, but he proceeded silently with 1 'his supper. The biscuits were heavy enough ,‘ $0 burden the slightest conscience ; and the i coffee, simply grounds swimming around in ;‘ lukewarm water. He took a. sip, then put ‘ down his cup and said, quietly, “Guess I’ll - take a glass of milk tonight.

He had made him- self a little more presentable for su per, in- stincnvely aware that nothing won d escape the lynx-eyed widow, and was taking some measurements from the floor to a stove-pipe hole leading into the chimney fine, when he became aware that some one was in the door way.

Under such cir- cumstances life must cloud up into a dreary burden.” It never occurred to Mrs. Mump- son that her figures of speech were often ‘1 mixed. She merely felt that the sentiment 8.1 phase of conversation must he very flow- “ cry. But during the first evening she had 3’ resolved on prudence. “Mr. H olcroft shall d have time,” she thought, “for the hope to t: steal into his heart that his housekeeper 5‘7 may become something more to him than ’3 housekeeper-that there is a nearer and .Y loftier relation.” V 11 Holcroft could not endure this style of in- quisition and comment another second long- er.

Then he fzsstened the doors and put out the lamp. Standing for an instant a the parlor entrance, he ~ “ 0f couiise, of course. A person so utâ€" terly unrespecterble would not think of. on» tering this apartment ; but then you had to meet her, you know. You could not act as if she was not, when she was, and there being so much of her, too. She was a monstrous looking person. It’s dreadful to think that such persons belong to our sex. I don’t wonder you feel as you do about it all. I can understand you perfectly. All your senserbleness was offended. You felt that your very homehad becomesucrilegiz-us. \Vell, now, I suppose she said awful things to you 1” He wvnt to the barn and looked with envy at the placid cows and quiet; horses. At last, having lingered as longr as he could, he returned to the kitchen. Jane had washed and put away the supper dishes after a fashion, and was now sitting on the edge of a. chair in the furthest corner of the room, g “ \Vell, Well, Mr; Mumpsan. she abode with herself. I {Lt least had this room in per 31nd quietngss.” “ Yes, Mr. Holcroft,” pursued Mrs. Mumpson, sinking her voice to a. loud com fidential Whisper, “and I don’t believe you’ve any idea how much she took with her.

With a. momentary, and, as she felt, a. proper pause before demtendiug to ordinary topics, she resumed, “ My dear Mr. Holcmft, no doubt it will be a. relief to ycu ‘ overfraught mind to pour into a. sym- perthetic ear the story of your troubles with tlzo:e-â€"erâ€"those peculiar females tlizw~er â€" t mt ”â€"~ The night air was keen and soon drove Holcroft into the house. As he passed the kitchen window, he saw that Mrs. Mumpson was in his wife’s rocking chair and that Jane was clearing up the table. He kind- led a, fire on the parlor hearth, hoping, but scarcely expecting, that he would he left alone. ' “Jane !” gasped Mrs. Mumpson, as she sang}; int? _the ghair 8,1151 rocked yiolently. “ But I dog,” said the girl, shortly, “and he won’t marry you, nor keep you if you talk him to death.” “ J ane,” said M rs.

Yes, I can stand even her for the sake of being on the old place in mornings like this. The weather’ll be get. ting better every day and I can be out of doors more.

Then I’ll get a. bran’ new one and put it up in my room. They can’t follow me there and they can't follow me outâ€"doors, and so perhaps I can live in peace and work most at the time. ” CHAPTER V.~Mas. MUMX’SON TAKES UP mm BURDENS. The next morning, Holcroft awoke early. The rising sun flooded his little room with mellow light. It was impossible t> give way to dejection in that radiance, and hope, he scarcely knew why, sprung up in his heart. He was soon dressed, and having kindled the kitchen fire, went out on the porch. There had been a. change in the wind during the night, and now it blew softly from the south. The air was sweet with the indefinable fragrance of spring. The e h areal notes of bluebirds were heard on every side. Migratory robins were feeding in the orchard, whistling and, calling their noisy congratulations on arriving at old haunts. The frost was already oozing from , the ground, but the farmer welcomed the mud, knowing that it indicated a. long ad- ‘ l vanfe‘towerds ploughing and planting time. 1 Poor Halcroft listened also, too worried, anxious and nervous to sleep until they came up and all sounds ceased in the ad- joining apartment. Motfxer and daught‘er iistened until they heard him overheaq, then taking the candle, they hogan a most minute examination uf everything in the room. “ Oh, certainly, oertainly, we’ll look after everything just as if it vns cur own. The sense of strangeness will soon pass”~ but his. steps were half-way up the stairs. added, “Please rake up the fire and put out the light before you come up.

Even Mrs. Mumpson was a little abashed by his manner, but when he resumed his breakfast she speedily recovered her com placency and volubility. “ I’ve always heard,” she said, with her little cuckliug laugh, “that men would be extravagant, especially in some things.

During this speech, Holcroft could only stare at the woman.

Had she maliciously spoiled the cofl‘ee? or didn’t she know any better ‘2 “I can’t make her out,” he thou ht, “ but she shall learn that l have a. will 0 my own,” and he quietly rose, took the coffee-pot and poured its contents out of doors ; then went through the whole pro- cess of making his favorite beverage again, saying coldly, “ Jane, you had better watch close this time. I don't wish any one to tench the coffee-pot but you.” “Ihope now that it’s just right," said Mrs. Mumpson complacently, “and feeling sure that it was madejnst to suit you, 1 filled the coffee-pot full from the kettle. We can drink what we desire for breakfast and then the rest can be set aside until din- ner time and warmed over. Then you’ll have itjust to suit you for the next meal, and we, at the same time, will be practising econermy. It shall now be my great aim to help you econermize.

He thought Jane looked apprehensive, and soon learned the reason. His cofi'ee was at least hot, but seemed exceedingly weak. Holcroft again escaped to the burn, and eventually returned with a deep sigh. “I’ll have to face a. good deal of her music this morning,” he thought, “ but I shall at least have a good cup of coffee to cheer mu.” “I 'know," interrupted Jane, “I can algvvaxs (it) as ypu did.” _ Jane nodded, but Mrs. Mumpsan began, “0h, certainly, certainly.
