All the same,7 said Mr.. Durant,
with mock politeness, II prefer to
manage my own business in my own
way. And / choose that you three
girls shall stay at home and work
worsteds, and cook buildings and
sew needlework, like other women.
"And if we object to this, sir ?"
said Zoe.
"You are at liberty to find homes
for yourselves" said Mr.. Durant,
irritated beyond measure.
The next morning the three sisters
came in, with perfect good humor,
to kiss their uncle and bid him good
by.
"Eh ?" cried Mr.. Durant. "Where
are you going ?"
"To seek our careers, SIR" said
they.
And they went.
"They'll be back here in three
days,the headstrong young gipsies,"
said Mr.. Durant.
But the big house seemed strange.
ly desolate aud deserted with the
girls gone.
Six-nine-twelve months passed
by, and the three girls had not re-
turned. They wrote affectionate
letters to their uncle, telling him
that they were getting along we'll,
and inviting him to come and visit
them at their respective studios, but
he wrote back stiff declination.
mot until you have given up this
absurd nonsense" said he.
One day, however, as he sat
dreaming in the half-light of his
library, where the sunbeams shone
through colored glass ovals, and the
fire cracking softly in the FURNISH
ed CRATE, the door opened and Zoe
came in.
"Uncle," said she, in low voice,
sit is -
"Well, little one," said the old
gentleman, ''come here and kiss
your old uncle. You've concluded
that book writing is all nonsence 7"
mo, uncle; certainly not," said
Zoe with spirit. 1--we found pub
Usher, and my novel is coming out
next week. But
"Well ?n
81 came here to speak of some
thing else," confessed Zoe, hanging
her head. ''The publishers eldest
son is outside, uncle, and begs leave
to enter"
what have | to do with publish
er's eldest son ?" roared Mr.. Du-
rant.
Nothing" said Zoe, coloring and
laughing "except-except that / am
engaged to him. And we are to be
married in the spring, uncle, if you
don't object"
''Oh, no !" said Mr.. Durant.
''Well, let me see the young man,
and | will tell you what | think of
him"
Mr.. Edric Everton, the gentleman
in question, was introduced and
passed muster very well; and Zoe
came back to her uncle's house to
prepare her trousseau without loss
of time.
Mr.. bedford Durant was at pic
Cure gallery, where he saw winter

Neck HILL" he said to himself.
"Janitor what is the price of this ?"
he added aloud.
"a hundred and fifty dollars, sir )"
said the janitor.
ii take IL, SAID MT. Durant.
81 amt sure but it's sold already,
sir, said the old man scrutinizing
his books. "Per'aps you'd better see
the artist yourself; No-Steeple
Building, Upper Broadway"
I'm determined to have that pic
ture, even If L pay five hundred dol
lars for it," said Mr.. Durant.
So he went to No-Steeple Build
ing, and there, standing before a
huge expanse of canvass, in blue
velvet cap and linen blouse, was
his niece, Eda.
"Hallo =" said he stopping short on
the threshold.

temperance cause at heart, to come and
learn what women are doing in this land,
and to take home with her such informa-
ton and documents, ETC., as will enable

locality.
