depths, albeit wistful shade was gath
ering over her bonny face.
In the capacity of elder brother and
guardian to 5o1iorn little mite of an
orphan girl, 1 had watched over Sue
with tenderest care and solicitude for
18 years.
According to my calculation, if a
mans calculation in such matters be OF
any account, Susan was 81 on the 9Th
of the month. But very likely, by a
feminine process of reasoning, it was
all different. Maybe she was 10, maybe
25 in the eyes of herself and girl com
panions.
As Susan is remarkably bright,
not to say very brilliant girl, and one
of decided strength of character, it
was clear TO perceive that something
had gone radically wrong with that
young woman during the day.
She had ensconced herself amid lot
of cushions on big divan near by,
and was looking at me with so queer
an expression, half penitent, half sor-
rowful, and wholly puzzled, that felt
impelled to come to the rescue, al
though on principle and long-estab-
lished custom intermeddled, lot hay-

l had just gotten back to town. To
my surprise she looked at me indig-
nantly, and declined to return my
greeting.
She is very pretty young woman,
full of graces and caprices, but is less
pretty when she adopts her present
mode of expression. Her gray eyes 1
noted when opened with this particular
stare-or is it glcwer-are not near
as lovely and fascinating as when
bright, pathetic, merry or sad, which
are their usual variations of express
sion.
And her mouth, which nave always
told Susan is her best feature, if COM
pressed as at present 10 accord with the
general severe tone OF disgusted de-
preston pervading her face, loses at
least one-half its charm. Even the
wave of Susan's chestnut brown hair
seem to wear a rebellious air, indicative
of suppressed indignation at some one
or something.
