| While was saying this Sister Emma
and her sister walked away.
Amabel took me into the kitchen,
/ where there was plenty of soap and
water. was deadly afraid lest some
of the neighb0rs should come in before
I could run from the room. The
| minister's wife was coming to take tea
| with us in the afternoon, and there
was the horse waiting for us to go and
do our err ands. 1t soon transpired
that though olive oil, lavishly used,
would do very little for my enamel, it
would yet do more than any thing else.
At the end of an hour and a half we
! knew that we had done all we could;
Amabel said that / should be obliged

room for week car so. told her that
I could have a nervous attack easier

While I sat with, my face swathed in
towels, Amabel Suddenly thought of
the spoons in the cellar. She hastened
to get them and count them They
were all there. As she put the last
one in the holder the same thought
came to US both: the women had not
paid for their lodging. But Amabel
insisted that l, at least, was amply
paid.
True to her original theory, my
friend hurried up to the chamber late
ly occupied by Sister Emma and her
sister to see if they had left fuse that
should burningly linger until it even
tually blew us up. But she found none.
The minister's wife did not come in
the afternoon. She sent word she had
a violent headache.
When Amabel returned from church
the next Sunday, whittier had rea-
sons for not accompanying her, she
said that the minister's wife was not
there, and that the minister had STAN
mered and blushed as he had said that
his wife's head was still very bad.
When she had informed me of this.
Amabel kindly made an application of
sweet-oil to my face AS she did so
she remarked that the minister's wife
was young, but she hadn't a very good
complexion, and did / think
''Impossibler' l interrupted. HE
would not have allowed it."
Neither Amabel nor ever knew how
any thing about my condition got
abroad, but three days later had the
following note from the minister
: wife:

oil. well rubbed in, for your face. Henry and

Amabel still says that she wishes
: our pistol had begun to go off when
those women were here, not thinking
that the weapon has no discretion,
. and might have hit us instead of them.
