Alice longed to scream to fy--to do
all sorts Of impossible things, to get out
OF the way Of this oyerAowing babble,
but there was nothing to do but to bear
it. Her nerves were or edge: and when
John came home, astonished beyond
measure at this raid on his household,
she came near going into Mysteries.
Aunt Emery James visit was beneficial
in ono way. Alice cenld enjoy luxury Of
solitude in her room, and stolen bits Of
her borrowed novels, sure that all the
household would go right. Emery Jane
was prodigious worker. John had new
er known what real comfort was since he
left his prim New England home, to
make his fortune in the west. The little
ones were kept rosy and shining. for EN-
cry Jane adored children, and had the
secret of attraction for them, SO that they
no longer went about in ssrdid pinafores;
but the neighbers ascribsd it all to the
odd quaint little Miss Emery Jane.
Emery was keen in her way She soon
fathomed the the trouble in her brothers
household. Saying little to his wife for
time, never making light of hsr all
