woman, and would have been attrac-
tiye-looking had il not been for apecu-
liar gloom which slumbered within the
depths OF her great black syes, and
dwelt in the sombre curves of her full
red lips.
She rarely met your glance, and if
she did so, would avert her eyes as
though she had received shock But
if not sunbeam in the kitchen, she
proved to be a treasure of neatness and
efficiency, and congratulated myself
on having secured her.
After 4 while, however, symptoms of
dissatisfaction showed themselves in
the manner Of my faithful Katy, the
waitress, who had been with nle since
had commenced housekeeping.
Mrs. Freeland,h she said hesitate
ingly, 'I'm sorry 10 trouble you, but |
really can't stand such carryings-on no
longer. Either Erederika must leave,
or must, ..... ..|...... ....-
why, Katy, what is the matter? |
thought everything was going on all
right What fault have you 10 find
with Frederka?'
"Oh don't ask me, ma'am, answer
ed Katy with shudder. a don't want
to hurt anybody, and horses couldn't
make me tel what think OF that
dreadful girl, The way she goes on in
her sleep is enough to make ones hair
stand straight up. ... ....
"Why didn't you tell me she was an

fix up room for you Katy, as it would
be to lose YOU. But YOU mustn't think
badly of poor Frederika because she

them, They are caused by indiges-
ton"
Katy looked unconvnced, but she
was too mindful of her proper place to
argue with cher lady" us She was
fond of calling me in talking to her
comrades as she designated her
mates.
So had bedroom fitted up for her
on the side OF the house most remote
from Frederika's room-which was
only accessible by the back stairway.
For if Katy had such a feeling about
being near her it was best for her to
feel entirely at ease about receiving
chance visit from her
After making this change everything
went on smoothly again for while
But one day | had occasion TO 90
into the kitchen to cOncoct Fred's
favorite pudding, and just as | had
stirred in the last ingredient, step
sounded outside the door, followed by
brisk rap.
Isaw Frederika give a glance at the
new conner through the window, and
then, with face as white as the towel
with which she was polishing the
glass she held in her hand, she started
for the stairway.
Katy Just then came in.

For Frederikas blanched cheeks an(

A deep-toned voice with foreign &C

and the trouble which i saw was con

had so alarmed her.
But he was far from looking like
