In a few days Juliet packed her
trunk and went or TO spend the sum
mer with au old aunt away up in the
country, because If she went to Cape
May, where she wanted to go, 1t would
cost too much money.
And few days after, Cousin Ruth,
requiring some patterns which She
knew Juliet had left at t.home, Went up
| to Hary's and requested the up stairs
KEYS Of the old woman who had been
lett in charge.
"Yes, Miss Rufe. | give you de
keys" said old Aunt Sally; "butyou
see, Mist Harry he done have compa-
ny last night, and han't got the par
lors righted up yet, You jcs' shut
your eyes, honey, an den you won't
see dc muss.' III
"Ah, Harry had company, did he ?"
| asked Ruth. .....
ayes, did he honey and that ain't
the end Of it nyther. He said they
done had sech good time, they was II
comm agin to night, and III bet Miss
JUL, won't have whole glass left in
de house,
"Ah," said Ruth, "they broke the
glasses, did they?'
81 guess you'd thought so, honey;
Isech u cutt,n' up never did hear since
1.-The day was borned. Jes' you 90 up
stairs, honey, and see what a muss they
made"
Ruth went up stairs and threw open
| the paror and dining.room doors to
take survey.
"Ah," she observed, as she saw the
ruins of the costly feast upon the table,
and the debris of the broken glass and
china scattered around, mo wonder he
can't afford Juliet a shawl. Don't !
wish she could see this! Yes, and
we'll, if they don't have one more guest
than they invite vt their feast to night,
it won he because don't invite her,
that's certain -
Ruth slammed the doors, forgetting
ali about her patterns, aud walked
straight down the street to the nearest
telegraph Office. There she sent this
laconic message:
DEAR JULIE:--
Come up and sec why Harry can't
afford it. Come by the 2 o'clock
train, straghtt TO my house.
Ruin.
And the result of Ruth's energetic
efforts was, that at two O'Clock She
aud Julie were c|oseted together, hold
very important discussion on the
propricty of suhduing their common
enemy, the rebellious and economical
Harry.
Alta somewhat late hour that night
quite a convivial party was assembled
in Mr.. Camphel's dining room, INA
king a night of it" Costly wines,
costly cigars, meerschaums, rare fruits
and delicacies of all kinds, we're Law
ished in profnson which quite ac-
counted for the name Harry Camp
bells friends had given him Of a
"princely good fellow"
The participants in these midnight
orgies we're precious jolly" as they
termed it. and. in fact. few Of them
we're beginning to have rather more
wine than sense in their heads. In the
very height of the revel the door
opened, and in walked little Mrs.
Campbell, in a gray travelling suit, with
her travelling bag in her hand.
CONSERVATION fell upon the assem-.
bled group, and the delinquent Harry,
not the least conscience smitten among
them but Juliet, with a sublime incit-
ference to her stained carpets aud
smashed china, was equal to the occa-
sion. She came forward, smiling
sweetly. .
"Oh, Harry, I'm so glad to find you
we'll! l got telegram from Mrs.
Campbell to day saying you were bad
ly hurt and few to you at once"
Harry yas pretty badly hurt just
now, but he made out to stammer a
few words.
"Oh, no, Julle-Tm all right-so
glad you came.'
"These are some of our friends,
dropped in, see," said that wretched
little Juliet, with sweet smile. 81
would be glad to stay and help you
entertain them, but l am so tired, so
fatigued, that you must really excuse
me if l 60 up to our room at once.
Harry, dear, please ring for Sallie, and
send her up, but don't hurry yourself
or disturb your friends. Good night,
gentlemen"
And, with a serene smile, Mrs. Juliet
ran up to their mutual chamber where,
instead of darkness, she found lights
burning, and old Aunt Sallie waiting,
