Und frisk, and jumb, and run,
Und shase her all around der blace

Den shticked a knife by he's lefd ear,
Und now he's mutton's cooked.

MRS. ROCHESTER'S MAID.
BY DAISY VBNTOL
(cONCLUtmD.)
Grace peeped in quietly. The child
ren had evidently been left to their own
devices, as usual, for Allie had erected a
grand barricade of all the chairs in the
room around Fred's crib, and was keep
ing him fast prisoner.
"Now, Allie and Fred, listen to me,"
said their aunt, "I have brought Ross,
here to take care of you, and make you
good children. She loves little boys and
girls when they are good; and I shouldn't
wonder if she had something nice for you
now. See," for Grace produced a new
doll, with very pink cheeks and blue eyes,
"will that do for Allie in place of the one
Fred killed yesterday ? And Noah's Ark
for Fred, too !"
"I love 'ou like-like every'sing!" said
Allic, coming to Grace '. side with eyes
round in admiration of her new posses
sion. "I will be dood; its Fred 'ou's
so witted."
"Ain' witted !" was the immediate re
sponse from the crib.
"You must both be good," said Mrs.
Rochester, impressively. "I will come
over to-morrow, Rosa, and see how you
get along. These children are to be un
der your entire control; and whatever
you can do in the household to assist Mr.
Keith, you have my full permission to
attempt. Good-by, monkeys," and with
a playful kiss to Allie, Mrs. Rochester
departed.
Grace found plenty to occupy her in
the nursery for an hour or two, and after
she succeeded in getting the children
playing peacefully, she left them in charge
of Maggie, and went up to her little room
which mne girl pointed out her. There
she had a good opportunity to look at
herself in the glass; and she smiled at
her own appearance, with her cheap dres,
and her pretty, curling hair plastered
straight down over her ears. As she
stood laughing, and saying to herself that
she half repented her compliance with
Fanny's scheme; she heard the bell ring
violently, and then a general disturbance
in the lower hall; so she walked out di
rectly, and met Soames, looking awfully
frightened, in the hall.
"What's the matter?" asked Grace.
"I believe Mr. Keith's killed," said he.
dashing past her, to open the bed-room
door; and as Grace looked down the
stair-case, she saw three men bringing
something up between them. They ps
sed her, as she leaned shivering agairnst
the wall, and laid their ghastly burden
on the bed.
"Is there any one here who has nerve
enough to be of assistance?" asked Dr.
Archer, looking at the row of terrified
servants, as they crowded together in the
hall. Grace stepped forward a he glancsd
at her.
"I rwill do what I can," she maid, brsde
Her face was white and aet, but there wars
no giving away i· i'. ':d, with a satistied
" L youw to soid bins head w'ile I

wound, perilously near the temple, andl:
the handsome, death-like face was cover
ed with bleod:
"How did it happen?" questioned she
slipping her arm under Peuy's head.
"They were hoisting some iron in Broad
street, just when Mr. Keith was passing
and the pulleys broke. A close thing
very close thing. A splinter struck him
just here; see how near the temple it is
-never mind," kindly for grace began
to shiver; "don't look at it more than
you can help-he's beginning to grow
conscious."
Percy opened his eyes, and stared
wildly at them for a second, then fell into
the same deathly stupor. The doctor
fnished sewing up the wound.
"I fear hell have a serious time of it,"
said he, watching Grace as she washed
the blood-stains away from Percy's face
and hands. "He may have a fever, and
possibly be delirious Is there any one
to send for? Do you want a nurse, or
can you take care of him?"
"I shall send for Mrs. Rochester, Mr.
Keith's sister," said Grace, steadily; "but
I am quite competent to take any direc
tions you may leave.'
"'ll stay for an hour or so," said the
doctor, seating himself; "you go and send
the message for Mrs. Rochester. Please
send that man (whatever his name is,
who came for me) to me, and come back
yourself as soon as you can."
Grace went out, found Soames, dis
patched a servant for Fanny, and then
finished her morning's experience .by
fainting away on the nursery floor, to the
infinite alarm of Maggie and the twins.
However, when Fanny came, she found
Grace posted in the sick-room, able to
answer all questions, and laugh away her
fears.
And now began a real siege for Grace
Elliot. Percy woke from his stupor n a
raging fever, and Mrs. Rochester took up
her station in the house every day, but
soon worn out with anxiety, was obliged
to relinquish her place to Grace, whom
Dr. Archer declared was invaluable.
Every spare moment thit Grace had was
devoted to Allie and Fred, who grew des
perately fond of her, and only cvased to
roar when she left then, by being told of
"poor papa, so very, very ill down stairs."
Grace-how could she help it?--grew
deeply interested in her handsome pa
tient, and toiled untiringly, day and night
till the crisis came. He raved that night
of "Laura;" and sad, indeed, was the
picture she drew from his descriptions of
his slighted love, and lonely heart. It
made Grace's own heart ache; and hot,
regretful tears rained from her eyes on
his face, as she knelt down beside him,
and prayed for him. And into Percy's
delirium stole a strange fair vision-a
vision of a pale girl, with golden hair, al
loose and flowing far below her waist,
her white hands clasped in earnest sup
ilication, and her tearful, gray eyes look
ing love into his; and he thought the
vision bent andI kissed his lips, and
then he watched her fade away as he
sunk into quiet, peaceful slumber.
The crisis was over; and whenPercy
Keith opened his eyes again, he tuned
them toward the watching figurat his
side. He moved a little, and the Voman
bent over him-a commonplace-koking
girl-a mere servant, to judge by her
dreen
"Who are you?" he said, in a faint
whisper.
"Mrs. Rochester's maid, Roesa said
Grace, the darkened room preventig his
seeing the color that dyed her fac
"And where is me?"
"Mrs. Bochester?"
"No; the pale girl with golde, hair,
who prayed."
"Hush!" said Grace, hurriedly, lained
and frightened lest he had been
conscious enough to recognise he "you
must talk no more now"--and P ,etoo
weak to insit, soon tell aleeph
He grew better so rapidly that,
that Grace begar to try to abshen
from theroom. Bathe was yr
petulant and whimsical, and wd take
nothing for himself, butinsisted Bosa's
waiting on him every moment Even
when his sister rather quized 1 one
day, about his absrd penchantl r Boe,
he said, briefly and sternly, "she ts me
as no one else does;" and wic Mrs
Rochester turned away to hidetr amile
of trbnaph.

imagherit and read to him; andoften
they wandered off into long talks after
ward, until Grace, with a start. would
remember her role of nurse, and hurry
off to the children.
Once a day Allie and Fred paid papa
a visit; and on one memorable Saturday,
they came, as usual, looking pretty droll
as ever.
"How are you, monkeys? said their
papa, twitching the curls of the pair, as
they stood on tip-toe to be kissed.
"Pity well," said Allie, gravely. "Osa
was cwoms die morning, and pulled my
turls dwedfully."
"Serve you right," said Percy. "I
sppose you didn't stand still. Why did
you think Roma was cros?"
"'Osa kyed!" put in Fred, desirous of
notice.
"Nonsense, Fred! you were dreaming'"
said Grace, quickly.
"On mustn't tell wrong stories," said
Allie, severely; 'it's witted. 'On did ky
- I an' ou ! and' on said' on mus' go
away from here."
Grace's face burnt like fire.
"It's true that I must go away before
long, sir," said she, addressing Percy.
"Mrs. Rochester is still without a maid;
and she has been so very kind to me that
I feel as if I ought to return, as soon as
you can provide yourself with a sub
stitute."
"It would be hard for me to do that,"
he said, a little under his breath, looking
steadily at her downcast face. It was an ab
solute relief to Grace that Fred, at that
moment, upset a cut-glass dish contain
ing jelly, breaking it into bits.
"Oh, Fred!" said Grace, "you are get
ting naughty again. Did I not tell you
never to touch anything on papa's table?
I shall have to take you both down to
the library, and give you a long lesson as
punishment. I will be back before long,
Mr. Keith, and finish that review foryou:"
and off she went, the children clinging to
each hand.
They were unruly pupils enough at all
times, but that morning they were es
pecially rebellious. Fred would not be
convinced that "a," '"b," spelt anything
whatever; and Allie insisted that "d" and
"b" were the same letter. Grace was
busily engaged in trying to conquer Fred;
so Miss Allie improved the opportunity
to give a clutch at the comb in Grace's
hair, lost her balance in the attempt, and
Alice ahd the hair tumbled down to
gether.
"You abominable child!" scolded Grace,
picking her up; "you shall be---" But
the sentence never was finished, for, on
looking up, there stood Percy! The room
whirled before Grace's eyes, and she
stood looking the picture of guilt as he
came nearer to her.
"I had a dream while I was ill," he
said, taking her hand, "a dream of a pale
girl, with hair and eyes like yours; hair
as I see it now, and not hidden, as you
have worn it heretofore, and eyes full of
tears. And the vision prayed for me!"
he exclaimed, as he sunk into a chair, too
weak and excited to stand. And then,
as if uncontrollably, he drew her down
beside him, and kissed her once-twice!
"A charming tableau-vitant "' said a
voice. "Percy Keith, are you mad!" and
Mrs. Rochester planted herself in front
of the pair, looking like Nemesis in
person.
"Oh, antie !" screamed Allies, "'~pap
tised 'Oea two times "
"Aren'tyouashamed of yourel, Percy!
indignantly. "Even that child--"
"Fanny, be quiet! said her brother.
"I won'tI When I've begged and
besought you to look about you and
select a wife; when there are New York
girls by the score who'd give almost
anything to have you; when I toldyou I
had picked out that lovely Grace Elliot
for you-to disgrace your-"
"Fanny! Fanny!" but the storm
rushbed on unheeding. "Yes disgrace

good-for-nothing. artfal, designing eree
are----"
"Oh, Fanny! be mercifulI" and, turn
ing red as adamuek rose, Grace sat doem
on the floor, and then began to laugh hy
sterically, while Mrs. Rochester fell into
the nearest chair, and laghed too,
laughed till she cried.
Percy gased at them beth in blank
amasment. "I think this m t boeme of
my iever-dreasm," said he, ruefully, at
kength. "F.inay, for heavmn's aske, stopl
Boes, do eFpain whet thisaetrradiuary

dently you hate her by kissing her before
my very eyes, jlo you?
A strong-minded woman! Yes. strong
minded enough to have Dr. Archer in
eastasies over her coolness when he per
formed that operation on your head. I
should think you would be strack dumb,
Percy Keith, whenever you think of that
terrible Grace Elliot."
A faint glimmer of light dawned on
Percy's bewildered mind.
"You don't mean," began he, and his
hand went up to his head with a helpless
gesture that brought Grace to him in
stantly.
"Forgive me," she said; "it was begun
in a frolic. I never meat to deceiveyou,
any more than I meant-"
"To love youl" Anished Mrs Rche
ter. "Gracel Gracel make him happy
by a word. Don't you see the poor fel
low's waiting for it?" "Will youlove me
any the lesi" she said, placing her hand
in his. 'I didn't know you considered
Grace Elliot such an ogre! I have not
been treated fairly, Fanny. Exonerrte
me from any of your plots and plans-in
deed, I am not--"
"No matter," said Percy, resignedly,
"I'll forgive you, Fanny, and you may
make much of my surrender. Grace,
darling, if you go back to Fanny'a, as I
suppose you'll insist upon doing, now
I've found you out, you'll promise to
come home to me soon-a poor, miser
able, sick man, who can't live without
you. Besides, there are the monkeys,
who would certainly drive me made in
three days."
"Considering the children," said Grace,
archly, "and that you walked down stairs
alone for the express purpose of my utter
discomiture-very soon? Yes."
"Oh, papal 'ou tissed her again-my
turn now," said mischievous Allie, and
she also kissed Mas Rocunra's Mam.
