wide, comfortable-looking street in which
the Miss Harveys dwelt in mddle-ageJ
health and comfort.
Their house, like most Of its fellows, was
tall, of red brick, approached by four rather
steep stone steps, and entered by a stout oak
door, On which cleaned q brass knocker of
good design and workmanship But the
Miss Harveys' house differed from its neigh
bors in respect of being more snowy as to its
steps, more brilliant as to its windows, moro
cleaning as 70 its knocker, and more up to
the mark as regarded its general appearance
than any of its neighbors.
"A thoroughly well-kept house." the other
occupants of the short street said, pointing it
out with pride; "and inhabited by two Of tho
best and best kept'-in mind, heart and soul
| women that ever lived"
Dear ladies, both of them-women who
had weathered many q storm in early life,
but who had not got roughened or hardened
in the process. women who had seen a fair
property disspate1 by extravagance on the
part of a father whom they had never found
it in their hearts to censure; who had after
| that, been thrown into tumultuous state Of
feeling by learning that they were the CO.
heiresses of a wealthy uncle; women who
had worked patiently and increasingly as
| companions or governesses during several
| years of their great expectations; and who
| had finally been rewarded at their uncle's
| death by finding that he had left the
| bulk of his s-operty to his deceased
wife's Mecca young lady Of considerable
| personal attractions" she would probably
have been described had she figured in
| police report As she never achieved that
| celebrity, in order to put her personelle
| plainly before the reader, it shall be SAID
