Mrs. Maberly's Neighbor.
BY MARY A. nENIsoN-

go Paul! it's the loveiest little house
I've seen yet. Let us take it.
81 confess l like that long veranda,"
SAID Paul, ''and those beeches and chest
nuts on the roadside are simply superb. "
Eyes, they are very beautiful, and
let me see-two cherry trees, one peach,
on pear, and six apple trees, all in good
condition, in the side and back yard, :"
said the young wife, reading from the
slip OF paper she held in her ll-gloved
hand-pretty, shapely hands she had.
"And .he view is not half bad, either
think more of that than of the fruit,
which, like the peach of emerald hue,
can do some harm. Remember, we have
two-year-old boy who is very ambitious
where climbing is to be considered. I'm
afraid these fruit trees will tempt him too
sorely"
GLOW very ridiculous, when l am
around!" was the laughing response.
Ernest is scarcely ever out of my sight,
and he is very obedient. like this bay
window, 1t commands such pretty view Z;
the parlor just suits me, it is exactly
what one needs in country home. My
lace curtains Will fit the windows; there
is just room enough for the furniture. |
can see just where to put everything.
The floors are oiled and our rugs will 90
down nicely. The people who lived
here have taken good care of the house. :"
"The people who lived here built the
house, her husband said "and evident
ly took great pains to make it comforta
BILE, but something happened that caused
them to break up"
He did not add that the something
was a forgery, and that the man had
fed, leaving his helpless wife and chill
dren to get on as best they could. Why
should she know it, 1t might lessen
her pleasure in living in the place if she
did.
They went upstairs, down cellar, and
found all the appointments perfect. Mrs.
Maberly was in raptures If they had
built 1t for themselves, she said, it could
not have be more to her liking indeed,
she had planned a house exactly like it.
The veranda went round two sides of
the building, and there were still hang
inc from the beams overhead baskets Of
last years plants some Of tben, vet
thrifty, Vines had been carefully trained
over the lattice work and thicl mas If
foliage rendered it almost impossible for
wind or rain to get in.
The next house on the right was but a
few rods away, a bright-looking stone
cottage against which cluno Engiish ivv
