never saw such a thoughtless man.
What am | going to do with a hundred
of lour?N

fifty"
YES, and have the mice eat it all
up in an injured tone. mo; | sup
pose I've got to go out in the pantry
now, and spend a half hour finding a
place for that -four" and she left the
room. With a sigh Mr., Wilson seated
himself to read the paper till dinner
time. Soon Stephen appeared with
the buttons, which were received by
his mother in an any thing but gracious
manner.
About three o'clock in the afternoon
Cousin Ellen said to Mrs. Wilson's;
Maria, I'll help you sew those but
tons on Stephens shirts any time you
are ready"
"Oh, no, don't mean to sew them
on to-day, | only wanted the buttons
so as to have them. What is the mat
ter? What makes you look so funny?'
as a curious expression fitted over
Cousin Ellen's c~ountenauce.
Il don't feel particularly 'funny,'I
do not know why | should look So"
"Oh, pshaw. | didn't mean funny
that way. | mean you had a very
curious expression on your face
Miss Renter hesitated. Should she
tell this cousin of hers, whom she had
not seen for so long, the truth: She
decided that it would be the kindest
thing to do.
Il suppose looked as you say l did,
because | IA trying to fit together two
parts OF a story. viii you tell me just
why you Insisted on Stephen going for
those buttons Just when you did?'
"Certainly" decidedly, the color
mounting to her fa:e. He seems per-
fectly indifferent 10 pleasing mt lately,
and its my private belief that he only
started to fix that latch because he
thought | wanted him to 20. I've
adopted the plan lately ofhaving things
done at once and then they're done.
Every thing he does for me unwilling
ly. 50 that he might as well do it first
as last"
you're all ~wrong-all wrong, de-
pend upon it, and Miss Renter shook
her head.
You don't know any thing about it,
Cousin Ellen. You never had Stephen
to deal with"
NO, but I've had men and women
to deal with, and | can see very well
whore most of the trouble lies"
Il wish to goodness you'd tell me
then. The way | work and slave for
james and Stephen never was beaten,
and they don't seem to try to please me
one bit,
DO you try to please them?'
"Try to please them in angry rs
constituent. Don't | work my finger
ends off for Them
Il didn't ask you that. l asked you
If you tried to please them"
III you'll tell me what you mean (for
it seems very ridiculous to me), I'll try
10 answer.
Then Cousin Ellen talked for Il long
time and told Maria just what She
thought OF her, but She told her very
