Eleven o'clock and the best parlor not dusted yet, anil old (ilnriauu calling you to help hang out tiic clothe, and the to matoes wailing to be mailt into catsup and the pencil short cake to be baked and you here, dawdling away vour time like a line lady '" Polly I'ipor j u mped ipiirklv up, hiding her dogs' -eared paper covered novo!, a ho did ro, under the sofa cushion. "I wish 1 were a fine lady," said she 'I'd be practicing sonatas on the piano or sketching Yellow mountain, or hem ming rufllei. instead of working like a lave!" Ura. Piper looked keenly at her daugh ter. "Polly." mid she, "you know very well you needn't work unless iou'vg a mind to." Polly tossed her sininv head with a movement of disdain "I don't, know how yon make that, out.,1' aid uhe. "You can marry litis rich relation of ours, if you please." insinuated her mo ther, "lie wants wife to keep that fiuuil new house of his. on Haven hill." Polly laughed "How do I know he'll like nie?" she questioned. "Nonsense, Pollyt There's no need to (ell you that. You'rens pretty as a pink," said Mrs. Piper, viewing her daughter with maternal pride. "And how do 1 know I shall like him?" "Why shouldn't you like him? lie can't he more than no, and a man nt CO ought to he in his prime. Anil he's very handsome at least Viola liartli lt say he used to he. And you know very will Polly, 'ou can make hii-.i lovo jou, fast nougli!'' Polly pursed up her cherry dot of a mouth. "A lover of Gu," cried she, "who used to he handsome when Viola Ktrtlctt was a girl! (Jii, mothe r!' "A handsome house and a gr.aul car ringe of your own," artfully inliiposod Mrs. Piper "And servants to do all this drudgery thai comes so hard on yon now, ni:d n good home for your poor father that's crippled with rhemnati.sm and" "All this is Inking a pied deal for panted." cried Polly, dancing across theroom. "Just hear old ( Iloria bawling fur help! 1 think she'll drown herself in the washtuh if 1 don't come pretty soon Jle'e to bo here in the noon train, isn't he? Oh, mother, you'll have to make the peach shortcake yourself, and I'll at tend to the tomatoes! And. mother 1 declare I never thought of it until this minute, hut here's a notu from t he school trustees to let you know that tlii-iis your week for boarding the new schoolmu.v ttr." Mm. Piper gave a start of dismay. "The now schoolniasler!" she echoed. "Tim, Polly, he can't come thi-i week! We haven't hut the one pare room, nml your cousin from New York is to he here today; nnd, besides, we can't U' both ered with country schoolmasters when there's so niueh to be -lone. Write and tell the trustees so at once. I dare say the mail would just as soon goto Widow Topham's this week. There he ii coming now. Tell him, Polly." A score of dimples broke out around Polly Piprr's bewitching little Cupel's bow of n mouth; her blue eyes sparkled fun. "Tell film yourself, mother," s':e re torted. "I don't know what on earth to ay." And, thus forced into the breach, Mrs Piper unwillingly advanced toward l tall, preteruaturally slender young man who was coming hesitatingly up the garden path, with a baggy umbrella h one hand and a shabby valise in the other. lie paused, and set down the habby vnlise. that he might thn more conveniently raise a still shabbier hat. from his perspiring brow, 119 he saw the two women. "Un has got nice eves, in spite of that , tow colored hair of his," thought 'oily "I'm glad I'm not mother!" 1 "Is this Mr. Paracelsus Piper's resi dence?" asked the young man, dilti dently. "Y'es, it is," answered the lady of the house. "Put there's been a mistake. We don't want you lu re!" ("Poor fellow!" thought Polly. "How he colors! I'm sorry now 1 let mother doit. I might have softened matters a little. How tired he looks, and I'm Fine that valise must weigh a quarter of a ton lit least!") "Hotter go to Widow Topham's, half a mile dow n the road, and tell tiie folks I passed you on. so you could take your week there lirst. It ain't convenient for us to entertain you here today." And, to nip the whole matter in the bud, Mrs. Piier turned short mound and made a dive into the house, resolutely closing the door behind her. "There," said she. "it's done! 1 could not have him here!" "He hasn't gone yet," said Polly, her pretty nose flattened against tiie fan lights of the hall door. "What's he doing':" sharply queried her mother. "He has sat down 011 his valise. Now he is wining his forehead with a very nice white pockethandki-rchief. Now he's looking back at tho house. Oh, mother, don't you think" "Polly," said Mrs. Piper, in accent of condensed exasperation, "I don't think anything at ull! But if you don't oand I help t ill. nana with Hie washing. 111 go myself, and theres an end of ill" And Polly, who knew the meaning of her mother's voice as w, II as a musician comprehends In, gamin . obeyed at once. Was it Polly's fault I hat old ( ilonana had suspended the clothes lines in that velvet green meadow through which the brook gurgled like 11 hue-lung tnilie ' 6ome child?

'It's too had!" cried sy m pathetic Polly 'Look here- -you shall come loour house! I don't care what molher savs!" "You are Miss riper:" he asUed. They enll me Polly." said the girl. "I declare it s semi barbarous, this sort of thing We've 110 holiness to net like thfi priest and the l,eiie. ewn if we do hap pen to be expecting company from the city There's a very nice little bedroom over the kitchen, sir. if you don't mind tho chimney going through H, and the. outlook into Ihe pi.ulirv v.ird behind, anu I'll get you some dinner myself. Come!" 1 With the gesture of a modern Queen lloadicea bidding her serf "follow me!' Polly left the basket of clothes to its fate and led the wnv hack to the house, w here Mrs. Piper was even then beating egg for the peach shorti ake by the kitchen table "Mother," said she, "I've brought tin schoolmaster back.

"lis your cou-.:n. I'olh!" cried Mrs Piper, hastening to open the door. It was a stout, thick set man. in hlue spectacles and a pepper-and-salt suit.
