PLEASANT OUTCOME OF POSTING A LETTER.'/Here's a how d'yedo, girls," exclaimed

comely Mrs, Darron. bustling into theroom, Where her daughters were engagedin the prosaic work of making ap.under-garments for theeldest ofthe three, Sophy,engaged to be married. "Aunt Ke/.ia hasmade ;;i-her mind to go to London. She willnot be satisfied thai her lawyerhas founda good investment forthat money till shehas seen and talked to him, so off she goesto-morrow; just, too, as she might havebeen of a littleuse to IIS."

•Oli. in*, mother, dear," said Anne, thenext inage to Sophy : she only fusses and

-.-. and hinders more than she helps, asmo3t oldmaids do. Lethergo; we shallget on bettor without her."

\u25a0•Ay. but thpn she ie too nervous to travelby rail alone, and Icannot be spared, nowthe liar\v.-t has 'begun."

••That's the worst of livingon a farm."grumbled Sophy. "We can't make holi-days in the Bpring, because the chickensmust be looked after ;nor in the summer.

iseofthehay and the butter; nor inautumn, "n account of the extra work italways brings; whUr as soon as the winterseta .lifather begins to talk of bad seasons;md the necessity oi economizing. 1 amso glad William is in a profession."

•Iwould have gone withKezia, and been

• d ti> do so."' said Mrs. Darton. "only

father isn'tover well, and there's all thissewing al*>ut. so one ofyou willhave to gowith your aunt; there's no help forit."

•Not in.'!'1 screamed Anne. "Praydon't send me. 1can't afford to lose mylast singing lesson. You know father saidhe would not be able to let me have an-other course, and just as 1 am getting onso nicely it would be a pity and ashame to."

Anne Darton had a tine voice and wasproud of it. Tears stood inher eyes as shespoke.

"Sophy roust «o!" she added. "Itwillgive her a chance of seeing the latestfashions before her wedding-dresses aremade up."

But Sophy, after a littlehesitation, saiddecidedly that she could not, would notu'O. At her suggestion, for she longed tohave a peep at the gayeties of the far-awaymetropolis.it had 'been arranged that thefirst fortnight of her honeymoon should bespent there. As her 'bridegroom-electwould really prefer the seacoast, h«r soingto town would give him a pretext foraltering the said arrangements, of whichAnne was afraid he would avail himself.To have tv resign a fortnight of sight-seeing with him for two or three days de-voted to lawyers would be too mortifying.

"Then it 'must be Phyllis," said Mrs.Darton, glancing at her youngest daugh-ter, who had taken advantage of hertoother's entrance to upf-n the volumehidden in her lap under the white seamingshe found so tedious, and lose herself in its

"Yes, it will have to be you, Phyl-tis, darling, and how Iam going to spareyou,Ican t tell, bnt aunt Kezia wants tostart to-morrow morning early, so youmust pack to-night whatever yon want totake with you."'

"1don't care to have such a trying officethrust upon me!" cried Phyllis ruefully."Can't 1 say I'm too young and too ignor-ant of the' ways of London—roadways Imean— to be any use as a spinster's guide?"

"Well, dear,' 1 Mrs. Darton replied, with:t sigh, "you shall not go if yon don't wishit,but how to manage 1 don't know, forke/ia isn't like other folks; there's no

ning with her.""I'llgo, mother, so don't get worrying

your dear self," said Phyllis, starting up,remorseful, as she noticed that her moth-er's pleasant face was assuming that'harassed look that no one brought to itso..ft.-n as h>jr husband's fidgety, thoughkind-hearted sister. |'It willbe only justThere and buck, a flying visit, and a de-lightfui change from the monotony ofmaking wedding garments for some oneelse. 1 know what 111 do while we are inLondon

—I'lltease Aunt Kezia into buying

a handsome wedding present. What shallii i>p. eh, Sophy?"

Sophy smiled acquiescence, and was re-minded by the oi'fer that there were manythings of which she was in want that couldbe bought cheaper and better in Londonthan in the small country town where herpurchases had generally to be made.

So When Phyllis started she carried withher a list of odds and ends for the bride-elect, to which her mother added a newchurn, butter print-; and some house linen;while Anne music paper and copies of cer-tain songs, to be got cheaply at certainshops as far apart as Westend and Isling-wn.even Mr. Darton adding a task to themany imposed upon his younger daugh-ter.

"

"There's one thing you might do forme,Phyllis, while your aunt is aggravating thelawyers; you might contrive to go to 40Ervington square. Kensington, and givethis littlepacket to its rightful owner."

What is in it?"asked Phyllis, as sheturned it over.

"Letters or deeds of some sort. Theybelong to my old schoolfellow. RalphTempleton. While Itook to farming hewent into the army, and coming to bid meirood-by. when he was ordered on foreignservice, he tossed this packet onto my desk,and bade me keep it lor him till becameback to England, 'for.' says he, 'a soldierl;as no room in his kit for anything butnecessaries.' Isaw by the papers a fewweeks ago that he has come home at last.a colonel, and that's hisaddress, 40Erving-ton square, Kensington. Write it in yourpocket-book. Idon't suppose the papershe left with me are any account. Iftheywere lie would have sent for them. How-ever, they are his. and Iam glad of the op-portunity of returning them."

"11l contrive to do your errand," saidPhyllis, slipping the packet into the pocketof the dress she was to travel in. "I'llnotforget that ifIforget everything eise."

Away she went, keeping a light heartand her good humor allthrough the annoy-ances of the journey.

The tram by which Miss Kezia Partonhad arranged to start was "lost in conse-quence of that lady's inability to decidewhether she .should wearher newest man-tle, or don a 'warmer and less fashionableone. Then she was so afraid of being toolate again that she insisted on driving tothe junction an hour and three-quarterstoo soon, and as she made frantic, efforts toget into every train that drew up at eitherplatform. Phyllis had rather an anxioustime of it.

Then her nervous alarms on the journeybad to be combated or soothed. Everymale passenger who entered the same car-

was viewed with terror lest he shouldprove to be a thief or a murderer, and asshe persisted in imparting these fears toher niece by means of the finger alphabetaad the most extraordinary facial contor-tions, one gentleman left the compartmentina harry, and another was beard express-ing his belief to the guard that he had beenshut in with a lunatic.

Miss Kezia had taken the precaution totelegraph for apartments to the landlady«it a house in the neighborhood of Blooms-bury square, at which she had stayed on asimilar occasion, and here she and herniece found :» good lire and nicely cookedmeat-tea awaiting them.

To a girl from the East Riding, morefamiliar with books than society, anychange of scene is full of interest, andPhyllis, stationing herself at a window,watched withamusement the figures thatia me by, or the children dancing by fire-lightinone of the opposite houses, "whileher fussy aunt questioned the attendant inwaitingon the subject of damp sheets anddraughts, a sufficiency of blanket-!, themeans of escape in case of lire, etc., or\u25a0wrote letters to her solicitor and thefriends she invited to call upon her duringthe brief period to which she proposedlimitingher stay.

Phvlfis bad fallen into a reverie and waslinking the distant hum of traflic with themurmurs of a brisk little stream that ranthrough her fathers fields, when an ex-clamation of distress from her aunt madeher turn to inquire the cause.

"So very unfortunate! My poor head,

!-what conld have contused it? Ialways Iipride myself on .remembering everything'

when 1am leaving home/ Miss Kezia wasIpaying. "Itwill be worse than useless,j because it will be six and j?igbtpencei thrown away ifIcallon Mr.Lelskillwith-'out those papers he sent for my signature;

Iand There they are at the present momenttied tip with green ribbon, and sealed withviolet wax,in the second drawer of thewriting-table in my bedroom!"

"Yon can write to mother, ami she orSophy will forward them," she was re-minded. ;J- "*-\u25a0\u25a0-• ':; - >;

"Yes, but look at the delay it involves!To be detained here doing nothing, abso-lutely nothing, i* downright provoking.

"My dear aunt, you can help me withmy commissions. '-Think what a formid-

j able list Ihave." I- ->•;j;-;:"Ishall telegraph immediately.! said

IMiss Kezia. ••But no, that would be tooi expensive, too troublesome. Ishall haveIto write, and wait for a reply as patiently

as 1can. Dear me, there's a great deal of: talk about the wonderful discoveries of!later years, but what are they The much

vaunted telegraph only carries messages;if itcould whisk that little bundle of pa-pers from Slcipton to me, 1shouldthink a great deal more of it than in itspresent imperfect, unsatisfactory state.

Phyllis smiled, and was dozing again,when her aunt's voice, speaking irritably,brought her back to the waking world.

"Don't you hear me, child? Do ring thebell again*. How very inattentive they are

ihere!"" . \u25a0

"Perhaps they are at supper, or as tiredasIam," suggested the yawning Phyllis,who, remembering how often the maid-servant had been summoned on some friv-olous pretext, was not at all surprised if

!she declined to hear the tinkle-tinkle ofthe spinster's bell.

"Butmy letter to your mother is ready.Iand there'is no one to take itto the near-!est office. Ishall lose the last, post! Ibe-

lieve 1 ought to soimyself," Miss Keziawent on yet more plaintively. <:eren at therisk of catching a severe cold, and beinglaid up with the influenza, for these care-less lodging-house servants are never to bedepended upon. They will either throwmy note aside tillit suits their own conve-nience, or put it in one of those pillar-boxes, in which 1 have no confidence."

"I'lltake itfor you. Aunt Kezia.'' saidPhyllis, running into the adjoining roomfor her hat and jacket. "I am gone,ma'am," she sang, merrily, "and anon,ma'am, I'llbe with you in a trice! Isup-pose Ishall have nodifficultyin iinduig apostoffice."

My dear, they are as plentiful in Lon-!don as blackberries." replied Miss Kezia.i "Make haste, and then we will have some

chocolate, and go to bed."Accustomed to go higher and thither

fearlessly, at her country home, Phyllisiset off oh her errand, without reckoning :j on the vast difference between a rural lo-icality, where every inch of ground was ;Ifamiliar, every parson she met a neigh- 1

bor or friend, and the wilderness of streetsnow surrounding her.Ifpostollices were as plentiful as Aunt j

IKezia asserted, she had only to walk on \tillshe found one. So at a brisk pure she

iscudded along, tillthe street opened intoj a quiet square. ..* .

Along one side of this, admiring the old-• fashioned houses, and promising Herself a

\u25a0 visit by daylight to the gardens in the cen- iter, went Phyllis, peering down by-streets

!for a glimpse ofa pbstoftiee, and so on and|on, tillshe found she arrived at a wider:thoroughfare, along which vehicles wereirattling. Here there were rows of shops,some closed for the day, some well-lightedand busy. Among these her roving eyes

!soon caught sight of what she sought.!Miss Darton's missive was dropped in theiletter-box, and the young girl,exhilarated \u25a0

;by her brisk walk and the novelty of her!surroundings, was attempting to retraceher steps.

Perhaps she had not taken sufficient ;', heed of the many turnings and windings ofthe route, for it was evident that the squarein which she found herself presently was

Inot the same, she had previously traversed;and after wandering all along the four

!sides she came to the annoying conclusionjthat she must have lost her way.

However, Phyllis was neither excitable\u25a0 nor cowardly. "She was alone, but she wasnot afraid; "for if there were dangers sur-

;rounding her, she was if ignorant of them.jVexed she might have felt at her ownjstupidity, but nothing more, ifshe had not,

jsuddenly bethought herself that she did;not know the name of the street in which:Aunt Kezia was lodging.

"Should Irecognize the house; at least IIthink so," she murmured, doubtfully. "Isuppose Ishall have to keep on looking tillIlind it. Icannot be very far away."

And now she tried to walk hack to thewider thoroughfare, and the office at whichshe had posted the letter: but it was a be-wildering task. . .

By the gaslight no distinguishing markscould be discerned; the same rows androws of houses, turn which way she would,

| confused the little country girl, though| she persevered till she was breathless and

footsore.She would have appealed to a policeman

\u25a0 long since ifithad been merely a case ofj inability to find a certain street; but sheIcould not tell him what street it was, nor'

even supply the cognomen of the landlady,j whom Miss Kezia had merely addressed as"my good woman."

To be taken toa station-house like a stray:child would be too absurd; yet, on the

other hand, what was she to do?Her strength was failingtoo fast toallow

jofher walkingabout much longer indeed,1 Phyllis was beginning to feel so utterlyspent that but for .very shame she wouldhave sat down on a doorstep and criedheartily.

As it was, a few tears did force their wayiinto her hazel eyes, and putting her handj into her pocket for her handkerchief, itcame in contact with the littlepacket shehad received from her father."

Colonel Templeton, 40 Ervington!square, Kensington —Irecollect that direc-

tion well enough," she cried, joyfully. "Iwillgo there. Ishall not be afraid to sayhow Iam situated to dear dad's oldfriend.Aunt Kezia will be dreadfully frightened,but it is no use dwelling on her trouble tillIam out of my own."\ With reviving hope Phyllis ran acrossthe road to intercept the man inblue whowas stalking along the opposite pavement.

"Can Itell you the way to Kensington?"he echoed ;"Ishould think Icould. Butare you sure that's the place you want,because you are going toward Regent'sPark?' . •..-.\u25a0

Phyllis repeated Colonel Templeton'saddress, adding the query:

"Isitfar?""Farther than such a very young lady

as you are ought tobe going by herself atso late an hour." \u25a0

-"ButifImust?" she queried."Then why not cab it? There's a stand

] a little further on. Shall Iwalk there] withyou?"

Most thankfully was the offer accepted,!and Phyllis handed into a hansom, just asj she was beginning to feel that she was in-;capable of dragging herself another step.

'

Nor was it rest to be rattled over thestones .it a tremendous rate, and herfatigue, the aching of her limbs, and long-ing to be able to he down, increased to analmost incredible degree.

She was so stiff she could scarcely alightand walk up the steps of 40 KrvingtonSquare, and when .she had struggled withthe heavy knocker she grew dizzy, for aterrible fear had darted into her brain.

IfColonel Templeton declined to receiveher what should she do?

A young Lman, who was reading and

smoking ina very cozy little room at theback of the house, was disturbed by theman-servant, an old soldier, who had beenwithColonel Templeton in India for manyyears.

"There's some here, Mr. Richard,' hesaid, ina whisper, "a lady, sir, very youngand pretty; looks somehow as if she'dcome from the country, she's askingfor the colonel. Isuppose Iought to haveup and told her that master has been deadthese three months and more, but she saidshe had a message or;something for himand Ithought ? maybe you'd like to comeand speak to her yourself."

"A lady, and young!" echoed RichardTempleton. "Some clever adventuress is

imposing on you, Nokes. What name didshe give?'

'•^he said she was the daughter of Mr.Darton, of Chevely Farm."

'Darton? I remember hearing myfather speak of him as an old friend. Youare right, Nokes: Ihad better interviewthis young lady.'

Richard Templeton walked into the hall,where his servant had left the suspiciousvisitor after politely offering her a chair.

Phyllis had dropped into it.and imme-diately fallen asleep from sheer weariness.He hands were clasped in her lap, herhead, from which her hat had slipped, layback againsi the cushions Nokes had ar-ranged for his own comfort, and she wasbreathing as placidly as if at home inherown little chamber.

* _ '

Richard Templeton spoke, but she didhear; he touched her arm. but she did notstir. There could be no imposition at-tempted by such an innocent-looking littlecreature as this. Richard looked at hisman and Nokes at his master. What wasto be done? To awaken her roughlywould be cruel.

"My mother and sister will be homesoon, said the gentleman: "If we couldwheel her into the morning-room, there toawait 1heiii

"So Phyllis, lightly but warmly covered

with rugs and shawl*, slept and dreamedin front a cheerful tire tillsome slightnoise made her open her eyes and staredreamily at the group she saw gazing stt

her own with mingled curiosity andamusement.

They were all strange faces. In the back-ground was the weather-beaten one. ofNokes, who made something amiss withone of the burners of the gasalier a pretextfor lingering. Nearer, she saw the refined,darkly handsome natures of Richard, onwhose shoulder hN sister Eva, a femininelikeness of himself, was leaning; whilecloser to Phyllis, and with motherly com-passion depicted on her still fair linea-ments, sat a gentlewoman who wore theweeds of widowhood.

"Colonel Templeton! Ah! Where isbe?" gasped Phyllis, looking in vain forthe stately but courteous veteran she liadhoped anil expected to behold.

My dear husband died soon after welauded in England." said the widow."Who are you, and where have you comebom?"

"1don't know," was the perplexing re-ply, "and that is why 1 am here. At least"—

and Phyllis produced the packet— "myfather bade me bring this to his old friend,

but Ishould not have intruded at night if1 had not lost myself, and did not knowwhat else to do but come to you."

This was said so quaintly that both Mrs.Templeton and her daughter smiled, andEdna came and took Phyllis by the hands.

"You funny child! what do you mean?Are you still half asleep? You are toobig to be actually positively lost."

•And yet itis an absolute, positive fact."And then, feeling that she was with

friends, Phyllis tofd her story, and wassympathized with, caressed and promisedthat as quickly as possible her friends athome and Miis Darton, through them,should be apprised of her safety.

Presently Richard Templeton, to whomPhyllis had surrendered the packet andwho had been examining it, drew hismother aside.

"We owe Miss Darton a debt of gratitude,for she has brought us immense relief.These papers are the deeds of the valuableland my father bought in Australia, and towhich our right has been contested becausewe couhrhiot prodtice the proofs of the pur-chase. Without them we must have re-linquished the larger part of our income;with them , we are rich.''

Phyllis was soon made to feel herself awelcome guest, and ere long was so wellliked that the Templetons were unwillingto let her leave them.

However, she was wanted at home toplay the part of bridesmaid at Sophy'swedding, and if she has left her heart inthe keeping of Richard Templeton, he hasgiven her his inexchange.

So. with the full approval of their elders,there willsoon be another wedding at Mr.Darton's. and, strangely enough, AuntKezia takes the credit of it. E.C.

Cheap and Pretty.Betty lias long been distinguished among

her friends as the only woman of theiracquaintance who did not own a tea-table.Betty did not enjoy the unique distinctionor the lark that gave rise to it. She haschafed under her inability to brew a cupof tea any time she had v caller, and liasinwardly vowed to redeem her reputationV>v a tea-table which would be the envy ofallher friends. Still Betty is poor. SheIki.v collected her tea-table belongingsslowly, but they are now collected, and tilecorner where she has it is a thing ofbeauty.

Inthe firstplace there is a screen, theframe of which was made by an obli«ingcarpenter for a small sum and painted byBetty herself withblack paint. Then shemounted itin shirred silk, all poppies andbig sleepy green leaves on a white ground.Against, this screen the tea-table standsout all white and bright and gay.Itwas a plain little table, having the

great advantage of simplicity, when Bettybought it. She painted itwhite. The topshe covered witha cloth allbeautiful withdrawn work and dull blue embroidery. Adull blue china tray, which Betty herselfpainted, holds the pert little teapot, thecream jug, sugar basin and cracker jar.There are two or three little teacups inreadiness for the cup of afternoon tea. Anold-fashioned flask holds the alcohol forthe lamp and a caddy from an antique shopthe tea. The kettle swings from its highiron stand next to the table. Itcost Betty$3. Her tea set of blue and white was $1,her three cups -'"> cents each and her threespoons 40 cents apiece. The cracker jarsome one gave her and the tray in its 1111---painted condition was 50 cents. The tablecost 50 cents, and the screen, including thesilk, $2. She can't give very extensive teasas yet. but for $11 she has certainly notdone badly.

The Silken Petticoat.The petticoat of the season is one of the

incongruities of fashion. Askirt of cheviotor serge may hide beneath its plainness agorgeous petticoat of brocaded silk frilledwithlace and caught here and there withribbon rosettes.

The fashionable petticoat is fitfor a ball.Itismade very full, with organ-pipe plaitsat the back and frequently a feather-boneinserted around the hem. This providesthe skirt with the correct flare and makesitunnecessary to line the dress skirt withhaircloth. One of the most gorgeous petti-coats to be worn beneath a dancing gownis made of white silk brocaded in goldfeathers. From the knee to the bottom ofthe skirt there is a succession of ruffles.Gold lace and nifties of imitation duchessealternate.

Petticoats for street wear are made ofchangeable taffeta or black brocaded silks.Black lace and plain satin rosettes areamong the fashionable trimmings. One ofthe many skirts belonging toa Fifth ave-nue society woman is of black lace fes-tooned here and there with clover-coloredribbons.

Allthese elaborate petticoats are jaun-tily perfumed. "When rosettes are used asa trimming each has its center formed ofa wee sachet bag. Other petticoats havethe hem interlined with a thin layer ofcotton sprinkled with sachet powder.

My Lady's Desk.The very latest addition to my lady's

desk is a pen tray and wiper holder in one.The handsome specimens are of silver,embossed or plain, and are designed to ac-company other paraphernalia of the samematerial. However, others are shown, anda generous variety inall the finer sorts ofchina can be found, so that every taste canbe gratified.

Inall the general characteristics are thesame, and economy of space is consideredas wellas beauty. T.he tray proper is simple.Atone end is a small candlestick, which issupported on a graceful standard, and inthe socket is a wax taper. The tray isIquite big enough to hold the wax 'seal

as well as the pens, and the one object sokeeps the entire equipment intact. Theprice is too varied to quote. Silver has al-ways its own value, and Dresden china as.well as Sevres has a recognized worth, butthere are few to be seen in less expensivewares, and even inheavy plate. Silver hasbecome so cheap a commodity that platehas taken a certain sort of disrepute, butnevertheless there are times and placeswhen it is desired.

Such an object as a pen tray is bettersolid, to be sure, but as it igets very littleusage good plat? willlast a lifetime. Fadsand fancies are so completely the thingsof the hour, and lickle seekers 'after novel-ty are so perpetually making changes, thatitseems hardly worth while to invest muchmoney upon what is likely to be super-seded in a few months at farthest.—Ex-change.

WHAT SHE FEAREDMOST.

It Was a Knockout Blow for Macal-lister Mcllhenny.

Macalliater Mcllhenny felt that theground was slipping from under him in theemotional field, and he pulled himself to-gether for a final effort. He chose a softafternoon, when tb»; frost was yielding tothe genial lays of the Mid and all naturewa> ina pleasant mood, as an appropriatetime.

And itwas an appropriate time, for whatis so delightfulas one of those Decemberdays, which are quite as rare as a day inJune, when earth and sky are in attuneand love is ladled with a spoon?

Be that as itmay, Macalfister Mcllhennywas supremely confident, and transferringhalf of his week's salary to a haughtylivery-stable keeper he secured a shortlease of a hone and baggy and went afterthe fair object of liis dreams.

For two hours in that pleasant afternoonsunshine Macallister .Mcllhenny drovethrough lanes and along smooth roads andhe felt that he was driving straight toglory, but somehow the fair being at hisside did not seem to be sharing inhis ex-hilaration. Itdid not strike him withfullforce until they had started homeward.

"I'm afraid,' 1he said, hesitatingly, asthey were nearing the end of the drive,"that the afternoon has been a disappoint-ment to you."

"Oh, no," she responded, smiling."I'm90 glad, so glad," he murmured,"for it has been a delicious season to me.""That is very kind of you to say.""Are you sure," and he made, as if to

take her hand, "that the drive has not beena disappointment to you?"

"Indeed, no," she smiled. "Iexpectedto be bored, don't you know?"

Then it was Macallister Mcllhenny knowthat only the tivery-stable man had profitedby the afternoon's work.— Detroit FreePress.
