"Lh mor exclaimed Mm. ilcnkln lo
her dAnghtcr Matilda, "wlio ilo you
think hni nrrlvcd nt tho linlol?"
"Any of our frlenrtsr Inquired tho
daughter.
"I wlah 1 could pay ho wiw," pnld Mm.
.tcnldna. "No, Mntlldn, It In no 1cm
than ft member of tho Urltlfth iiobtllly.M
"How do you know, mothor?"
"Uccnuso I happened to bo In tho post
offlco ft few minutes plnce, nnd with my
own eyes t snw n loiter upon tho wheel
directed Earl Spencer, Jonesboro hotel.
So 1 went right over to tho hotel nnd
found thnt It wns bo. Tho landlady
pointed out the young man to me. Oh,
Mntlldn, ha Is snob nn elegant young
man, aud all that nlr of high breeding
nnd so on wlileh you only find in the
nobility."
"Iteally, mother, yon mitto cxclto my
curiosity."
"But I'vo got moro to tell you, Ma
tilda. I've mnr.ajed to got nn invita
tion from tho landlady to como over and
tako tea, so that wo Blinll bo introduced
to him. OnH- thii-k of tliutt And if
only think ho should lake n funny to
you, nnd, Matilda, though I oujjht not
to say it, you nvo very pretty just the
very picture of what 1 wai nt your heo;
n I was saying, 1 don't think it at all
improbable, til lenrt impossible, that you
should attract hii attention, nnd think
what a fine thing it would bo if you
should b como a countess."
Mrs. Jenkins paused to tako broatn
after this long and rather loosely jointed
speech to ecu what effect it would have
upon her dnuriitcr. Tho latter Beehioi!
quite as much affected ivu.ho could wish.
She wat like iter mother, not only in
f oiin, but in mind, and her mother'?
woids bad Btirrod her ambition.
"La, how fiuo that would bo!" sho ox
claimed. "I suets Ellen Hawkins would
not thow her uirs any more. Tho mean
cieatuio, I wouldn't tako any notice of
her, except just to invito Her to tho wed
ding, bo that i-lio might havo n chancoto
'envy my good luck."
"Very true,'" enid her mother approv
ingly, "but yon know n good deal must
bo dono beforo tiitacuu bo accomplished.
You must endeavor In look your pret
tiest to-uight. so 03 to- produce an im
pression upon 1 ho young uinn, if possi
ble. I think yon bad bettor wear your
green do hiino."
"No, mamma; that dooan't become
mo. I Bhall wear my plum Colored silk,
and you must lend me your gold chain."
"But," said Mrs. Jenkins reluctantly,
"I was going to wear that myself." '
"I don't see," said her daughter, toss
ing her head, "that it is of much conso
quenco how you look. I presume you
don't espect .tho young lord will inarry
you. But it is very important how 1
look. If I can't go looking decant 1
won't go at all. Of course all tho ladies
in England havo gold and jewols to
wear, and I know he won't say a word
to mo unless I have doniething of the
sort."
"Perhaps you ought, Matilda," aid
her mother. "Iain sure it is my sole
aim in lifo to promote your success, and
if I could only live to seo you tho wife
of an earl I should dio in peaco."
Notwithstanding the apparent disin
terestedness of this remark it is proba
ble that unless Mrs. Jenkins expected to
Bharo in the prosperity of her daughter
she would havo cared considerably less
for her alliance with the nobility.
That was a busy day for Mrs. Jenkins
and her daughter. It took them up to
tho veiy moment of their departure to
arrange their toilot. At length, resplend
ent with tho best their wardrobes could
turnisb, they went over to the hotel. It
may bo reui.aiied, by the way, that Mrs.
Jenkins, with tho cunning natural to
such an admirable manager, had not
whispered a word of her ulterior designs
to the landlady. Shs oven cautioned
her daughter not to address the noble
man by his title in the hearing of any
one else.
Six o'clock found thorn seated at the
hotel table. It so chanced that Earl
Spencer was tho only guost (the reader
must remember that it was a small conn
try inn), and accordingly Mrs. Jenkins
and her daughter had 'the distinguished
stranger quite to themselves. It suited
Mrs. Jenkins to appear quite ignorant of
tho earl's station even nf his national
ity, unless ho should himself reveal it.
It would have been somewhat difficult
to decido whosein lay the marks of high
birth which Mrs. Jenkins professed to
find in the stranger. Ho looked much
moro like a third rate clerk. Ho wore a
flash waistcoat, an extensive cravat and
a gorgeous watch chain which might
have been gold, but looked moro like tho
showy articles winch remind ono of the
old proverb that "all is not gold that
glitters."
But Mrs. JenkinB was not a woman of
great discernment. She saw nothing but
what might bo expected of an oarl, and
murmured in tho ear of Matilda that his
appearance was very distingue by tho
way, sho pronounced the word in a way
of her own.
Matilda nodded assent to her mother's
remark, and began to play off her airs
and graces upon the distinguished gen
tleman. Her delight was great to find
that ebo was creating nn impression.
The earl listened to her very attentively,
and ovon condescended to exchango a
v little "playful badinage.
"I should judge," said Mrs. Jenkins at
.. length, "that you were not .an Ameri
can. Thero is something about you
which makes mo think you an English
man?"
s- "You are right, mr'ain," said the carl,
' "I am from England,"
"May I ask if you havo been long in
our court try f
. Mrs. Jenkins hardly know whether to
say sir or not, but finally decided not to
do so,
"Only a few months," was tho reply,
"A few months," thought she. "Then
he must certainly bo traveling incog,,
,orwo should havo heard of his being
hero by the papors."
Wheu thoy were ready to depart tho
managing lody tnrnod to tho English
man nnd eaid:
"I should bo vory happy indeed to bcs
von at our bonso to tea; to-morrow even
ing, Jf you havo no other engagement. I
have always had n vory high Idea of the
English, und am glad to havo an oppor
tunity to show it,"
"Thank you, iim'niu," tho carl replied
with alacrity, "I will certainly call,
At wlint tiino do you fiupi"
"At whatever hour will provo most
convenient to you," was tho gracious re
ply, Jndood, inii'uui, y-m nru yory kind,
flnppow wo iiiiino it H thou,"
"Tliunk you, my I niotm Ir, W
Bhull look for waid with tfl'out plotwuro
to your coMilng."
'"" m "'""' ' "' UJA!M 1MI i I1U
1116," Uiotighl tito yotiotf tiinu fitter lliolr
departure, M ho pat in hit! room wnoking
t cigar. "I really think Utcy Imvo taken
quite n fancy to inc. My Kood look, 1
think It muni 1w, for 1 haven't h Mtigto
recommendation besides rut earth, Well,
if 1 find tho girl bus money 1 may lin
provo my ndvnntogo and offer myself In
matrimony. Money would bo very nc
coptnblo just tt present."
Had Mm. Jenkins henrd this soliloquy
eho would probably havo como to tho
conclusion thnt thero vna eotnothlng
wrong about her calculations, bnt fort
unately for our hero thla wan not tho
case.
It will bo readily Imagined that Mrs.
Jenkins exerted her culinary Bkill to tho
utmost in preparing for her illustrious
guest. As he saw tho numerous dainties
spread out beforo him ho folt n glow of
joy pervade his frame, nnd determined
on tho spot to lay slego to tho heart of
Mntildn.
Tho leader will easily Imngino thnt his
ndvancos were readily met by tho young
lady, who was quite enraptnrod by tho
conquest which sho had achieved over
tho heart of an earl. Nor was hor mo
ther leia gratified. Tho good lady held
her head higher than ev .-, and speedily
anticipated tho time when, as mother-ln-lnw
of an oarl, she would tako pre
cedence of all wlio had hitherto ventured
to look down upon hor.
"You know, Matilda," sho bald, "that
when you uro ncountesi I Bhall of conrso
bo dowager countess or countess dowa
ger, I reallj don't know which. I wish
I could find Bomowhere n book of tho
British peerage; then I could find out
-without any trouble." She thought of
going to tho bookseller ana asking lnm
to sond for tho book, but on second
thought decided that it would bo most
prudent not to run any such risk of re
vealing her aspirations, ovon if sho were
obliged to remain in ignorance a little
while longer.
Ono point, however, puzzled her a
little. Notwithstanding tho very in
timate terms of tho earl with her family
ho never ventured any allusion to bis
rauk or his English estates or tho amount
of his income, which Mrs. Jenkins
would havo been very glad to learn.
"But I bupposc, Matilda," sho re
marked to her daughter, "that he is de
termined to remain incog, so as to make
suro that you marry him for himself
alone. I have rend of such cases in Bto
ries, but I nover expooted to havo any
thing liko it in my own family. Really
I think it is quite romantic. On tho
wholo I guesa it would bo best to say
nothing about it until you aro fairly
married."
Matilda acted upon her mother's pru
dent advice, and although her, curiosity
was an strong as her parent's she care
fully guarded against betraying it to the
earl.
At last ono memoroblo day she burst
into her mother's room with a triumph
ant glow on her face.
"Haa ho proposed?" exclaimed Mrs.
Jenkins in great agitation.
"Yes, mother," was tho reply of tho
overjoyed Matilda. "Ho told mo that
ho loved mo to distraction."
"I congratulate you, countess that is
to bo," said her mother. "By tho way,
did he Bay anything about his rank?"
"Not a word, mother."
"I am not nt nil surprised. Bo suro
then that you don't givo him a hint that
you know anything about it. How much
wo shall enjoy going to England!"
"Wei" repeated Matilda. "Surely you
don't propose going across the Atluntic
at your time of lifo?"
"At my timo of life!" Baid Mrs. Jen
kins sharply. "Indeed I do. I don't-
mom that you shall havo all the enjoy
ment. But did tho earl fix tho day for
the marriage?"
"Ho left that to me."
"Then fix it as soon as possiblo. You
mnst not let him slip through j-our fin
gers." That day three weeks the important
ceremony took place in Mrs. Jenkins'
cottage. Scarcely was it over than that
worthy lady, no longer able to restrain
herself, addressed her 6on-in-law:
"I trust, my lord, that you will nover
regret thii day."
"My lord!" repeated her son-in-law.
exhibiting unequivocal surprise.
"Certainly yon cannot expect to re
main incog any longer?"
"But I havo no claim to the title,
ma'am."
"No claim!" exclaimed the mother and
daughter, turningpale. "Aro you not nn
earl?"
"That is only my Christian name."
"And what is your employment?"
asked Mrs. Jenldns on tho point of faint
ing. "I am a houso painter, madam, but
being a little unwell was ordered by tho
doctor to spend a couplo of months in the
country." "
Wo draw a veil over tho scene that en
sued. Tho lofty fabric of pride which
Mrs. Jenkins had built up fell to tho
ground, and her chance of being allied
to the British nobility seems more re"
mote than ever. Caroline F. Preston in
