CHAPTER TX.

IN WHICH SoPHIAS EYES FILL WITH TEARS.
For some reason, which / cannot divine,
Sophia treated the proposal of the leather
merchants son as an affront The matter
oozed out--in kettlewell everything did ooze
out sooner or later: and to one or two init.
mate friends who spoke to her on the subject
Sophia expressed herself with a sarcasm
which was, perhaps, not fair, and was Ger
tainly not prudent. Some kind friend was at
the pains of telling young John Done in what
terms of ridicule and contempt Sophia had
mentioned his name. This gentleman in his
own person does not come before us, and it is
enough to say that certain disclosures which
reached poor Sophia's ears about this time
concerning the conduct of Percival Brent in
Australia were indirectly communicated to
her by her insulted adplirer, who as has
been said, had met Sophias lover when
abroad
There resided in Kettlewell a widow of good
family and small fortune, by name Mrs.
Hands, and Mrs. Hands, relishing the fat
living of the house of Done, and the house of
Done being gratified by the aroma of arts
tocracy which hung around Mrs. Hands,
there came about an alliance between the
two, offensive and defensive, which was al.
ways most enthusiastically maintained On the
widows side about lunch and dinner hour.
Mrs Hands was a woman who had seen a
great deal of the world and could converse
agreeably. She had a beautiful set of teeth
which made her smile great deal, and G
jolly laugh which caused people to feel com
Portable, and between the laugh and the
smile she had reputation for thorough good
nature She was known in every house in
Kettlewcll; she carried gossip with the
punctuality of postman she had broken of
two matches by her solitary act and deed
she was kind of parlor earthquake, making
splits and assures and shakings inDumerable
in hitherto stable households; and yet for all
this the true character OF Mrs. Hands was
not suspected and everybody said she was
such good -humored woman that it was q
pleasure even to see her. Which shows,
reader, what can be done with beautiful set
Of teeth, and smile and a jolly laugh dis
creetly inserted in the talk now and then.
Mrs. Hands was no favorite with Mrs Tenn
PIE. That prudent woman, mindful OF an
enemy's craft and malice, never said what
she thought of the widow; but she knew, and
the widow knew. In her way, Mrs. Hands
feared the superior and more scientific world.
ling. as was shown by the contraction of her
smile and the reduction of her laughter when
ever Mrs. Temple was by. But Sophia liked
the widow and thought she had good heart.
One morning about four months after the
Done episode, Mrs Hands called on Sophia
and there was to be seen on her face a re
markable solicitude and depression, so much
| that Sophia asked, after a little casual talk
| if anything had disturbed her.

all the liquor IN the countES. He has moi
confined himself to any one fluid either,
but Bass ale, gin, whisky, brandy and

with bis polite attentions. The conse-
quence is that he has a paunch on him
more appropriate to an alderman than a
prize fighter, and which arouses the ap
prehensions OF his friends. Should Sui
livan he defeated, it will be liquor and
not Mitchell that is entitled to the credit.
