COUSIN MARY ANN.
by HELEN FORREST GRAVES

Eyeleen Blake was a school teacher.
Rather a laborious and ill.paid life
it was for n girl of nineteen;
but she knew that she had her own
living to earn somehow. There
wasn't an inkling of romance in
her life, except what she uneon-
sciously absorbed out Of the books
in the circulating library. No hand
some young bachelor school trustee
ever thought Of falling in love with
her; no wealthy old gentleman
adopted her as his sole heiress and
legatee, and she hadn't a rich relative
in all the world except one old aunt
out in Wisconsin, who had never no.
ticed her existence in any way what
soeyer, and apparently didn't intend
to. Her two sisters we're both mar
ried-Mrs. Simon Sykes and Mrs.
John Smith-and each OF them looked
out industriously for Number One.
"Eveleen has had an eduction, said
Mrs. Sykes. 'Lst her take care of
herself Ofcourse one wants to be
sisterly and all that sort of thing, but
when dear Simon married me, he
didn't expect to marry the whole fam
ily."
"Of course not, said Mrs. Smith.
"She can't expect us to support her.
Aud beyond an occasional invitation
to a Christmas or Thanksgiving din
ner, poor Eveleen received very little
countenance from her sisters.
But she was a CHEEKY, iight.hearted
lassie, this Eveleeu Blake, and plodded
patiently along the dull routine OF her
daily life, making the best OF every
thing.
Five hundred a year wasn't a stu
pendous income, to be sure, but Eve
leen knew how to economic it to the
very best advantage. She dressed as
plainly as any Quaker, kept house
daintily in two little rooms, aud put
by a dollar week In the nearest saw
ings bank against a possible rainy day.
She was mending pair of gloves
one afternoon by the window, when
Mrs. Simon Sykes walked in, with a
great rustling and smell of patchouli.
Mrs Simon Sykes-nee Deborah
Blake-was tall and large and rosy.
Eveleen was on the petite scale, with
large, limpid gray eyes, very little
color, and straight brown hair which
shone and glistened like satin in the
level rays of the declining sun.
Mrs Sykes wore stiff black silk
dress, with set of staring canoes,
and mammoth pink rose in her
hat
Dear me-" she said, chow good
that teapot smells ON the stove And
Ten clean tired out with my walk.
Would you like cup Of tea?" said
Eyeleen.
"Well, I don't mind" said Mr..
Sykes, uupinning her shawl; "that is,
if you've bun or biscuit to nibbl,
with it. Tea alone always gives m,
the heartburn.
So Eveleen went to work industri
ously and brewed cup of tea, au(
brought out plate of rusks whicl
were to have made her own fruga
evening meal.
"But I can eat a cracker or SO,
said self-denying little Eveleen, a

Sykes, as she held out her cup for
second replenishing.

Mileage Of COngressmen.

The mileage OF congressman runs oil
the way from So to 81, 100. The law
requires that the mileage shull be cal
culated by the nearest route Of travel.
A Maryland representative gets the
lowest which includes his
coming and going, while an Ore ION
member gets the larger sum. The
California congressman get on an
average Of $3.50 each for mileage. The
mileage is, OF course, good deal more
than is usually paid, and helps out in
some cases in paying other expenses.
