Mrs. Copman and her three daughters
had gone to New York to order their
spring wardrobcs-charged to Mr.. Char
teris' account, of course-and it was late
on the afternoon of the third day of their
absence when they returned, cross, irri-
table and tired-Marion n shade redder-
nosed than usual, Arabella more pettish,
Melicent more blowsy and coarse.
| To their amazement and Indignation
the sound of one of Schuberts nocturnes
noated out from the parlor windows as
they advanced.
"Who is presum!ng to play on our
piano ?" said Mrs. Copman, in rage.
"And the windowsall open, too-fading

screamed.
"As sure as you live, mamma" gasped
Arabella, "it's that bold parsons daugh-
ter, Jetty Lane"
"The impudence of some people," cried
| Marion, when mamma as good as order
ed her off the premises not a month
ago"
"Henry," said Mrs. Copman, angrily, as
she caught sight of her son-in-law serene
ly smoking his cigar just inside the case
ment, "why is it that the carriage was
not sent to meet us? Why are we COM
PEELED to walk all the way from the depot
in this broiling heat? And what is that
young woman here for?" as she caught
sight of Jetty's white dress in the back
ground of the large, dim room.
"The carriage was not sent for you,'
said Mr.. Charters, calmly, 'because Mrs
Charters was using it"
Mrs. Charteris" gasped the widow
dropping at least half dozen of her par
GELS in the path, while Henry led for
ward the lovely young bride, all in white
with cheeks like pale roses.
Mrs. Charteris," he repeated, "my
wife Let me present you and the Misses
Copman to her"
And that was the end of the complica-
ton, for of course Mrs. Copman and her
daughters were too high-spirited to re-
main under the same roof with such q
dimpled and lovely young usurper And
they removed all that belonged to them
and great deal that didn't-from
the house the next day in high dud.

"To think what fools men are" said the
widow "when dear Henry was so com.
Portable to me and the girls"
But apparently dear Henry was of quite
another way of thinking, for, as he stood
with Jetty on the terrace, watching the
carriage drive away which contained the
widow and her daughters, he said:
"My dear, | feel as if nightmare were
lifted off my life. And now-now we car
begin to be happy"
