CHAPTER TX

IN WHICH soPHIA's 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 Sophla'S ears about this time
concerning the conduct of Percival Brent in
Australia were indirectly communicated to
her by her inSultcd adInirer, who, as has
been said, had met Sophias lover when
abroad
There resided in Kettlewell widow of good
family and small fortune, 10y name Mrs.
Hands; and Mrs. Hands, relishing the fat
living of the house of Done, and the house of
Done being gratifed 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 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 a
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
kettlewel; She carried gossip with the
punctuality of "A pOStman: she had broken Off
two matches by her solitary act and deed !;
she was kind of parlor earthquake, making
splits and assures and shakings innumerable
III hitherto stable households; and yet for all
this the true character of Mrs. Hands was
not suspected, and everybody said she was
such n good-humored woman that il was
pleasure even tn see her Which shows,
reader, what can be done with a beautiful set
of teeth, and a smile and Jolly laugh dis
creetly inserted in the talk now anil then
Mrs. Hands was no favorite with Mrs Tenn
pie. That prudent woman, mindful of an
encmy'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

And here he was exchanging her love for the
favors of an actress, VINO sold her smiles with
as quick an eye to profit AS a shopman sells
his wares. The downfall of Sophias hopes
was complete. The most refined ingenuity
could not have discovered a moro perfect and
total form of torture, Her whole life was
turned into wilderness Her mother was
right. Better live for the world, better marry
for money, better lay hold of material com
fort and the pleasures of sense and fashion
These had no power to break and crush the
heart like lofty ideas refuted by reality and
devoted hopes crushed by hard fact With
all these thoughts whirling through her brain
in a struggling crowd, Sophia stood on, stony
and fearless, in the center of the room, until
suddenly the door was thrown open, and
Mrs, Temples maid came flying in with her
cap disordered and dismay in every feature

CHAPTER VII.
A BOXING MATCH.

Prendergast, who resided not far from Ket-
tlewell, had occasional opportunities of meet
ing the Temples; and it had been the little
mothers expectation that he might renew
his SUIT and perhaps, after n time draw
Sophias affections to himself He made no
sign, however; and for long enough it seemed
as if our heroine was to have no further
trouble from mankind. But at last-at the
end of the five years after PerciVals depart
ure for Australasia new lover came upon
the scene.
His name was Done. He was the only son
OF one. Mr. John Done, n retired merchant of
great wealth, whose antecedents were gener-
ally described in this way, that he had some
thing to do with leather The Dones were
plain people but not vulgar; and having re-
sided in Kettlewell for twenty years. and
being charitable and religious, they had grad
ually made their way into our town society
In fact, they We're now received in COMPANIES
whore, at theirfirst coming, they dared not
have set foot. Still, it was never forgotten
that Mr.. Done was not altogether ono of us
When any stranger would make inquiry con-
corning him. the reply would generally he in
ms form: Done is Il worthy old fellow, and
gives capital dinners, II you want sub
scliption for any good cause, 20 To Done
lie is modest, unaffected, and not the least
purse proud. In e0rlv hfc he had ina
to do whh ledther.n This last clause was "A
formula repeated as faithfully ms il it was a
line of "God Save the Queen"
The virtue of the Doncs being not of Mrs
Barbara Temples kind-piety and charity
could not make her regard anybody with
favor-and their origin and manner Icing
plain, she bad never liked them. Indeed, at
