''Why, Nelson, I didn't know you

The effect of Maria upon her liege
was most pronounced as time went
on. Nelson no longer firmly waved
away orders and conducted his de-
partment on the most despotic plan;
the cook began to impose upon him
and the mistress of the mansion even
ventured to scold him.. His polite
ness deepened and willingness to re-
main after hours, if only he had the
authority of the head of the family
for doing so, became one of his most
pronounced characteristics. In fact,
Nelson was now jewel without
flaw.
But all this was quite too good to
last, and ore day the mistress Of
t the mansion was sadly surprised to
find Nelson once more setting aside
her orders with calm faith in his
own superior judgment. ''Why, Mel
son, what is the matter?" she said
'I distinctly told you that I wanted

the mistress of the mansion, hope
