lights Hezekiah's palate. and under c in file 3. in the corner behind you, there is even now gooseberry pie that shall send to Hezekiah, who. for reasons need not explain, does not now visit here'
 But the dyspepsia man-you speak of him as though he were dead.'
 Your assumption Is correct NIT. Ames. The builder of Hopeteld died only few weeks after be had estab- Hshed himself in this house. Having entered upon the enjoyment of his well earned leisure and made it un- necessary that he should ever go pie less to bed. he gave himself mp for fortnight to mad indulgence in me ringues and died after great suffering steadily refusing his own medicine to the end"
 We suu fingered in the pie crypt after this divertiug recital, while Miss Octayia entertained me with her views on pies
 "The soul color of pies varies great ly, Mir Ames. It has always seemed to me that apple pie stands for the homelier virtues of our civilization It is substantial, nutritious and filling. The custard and lemon varieties are feminine and do not, perhaps for that reason, appeal to me. Cherry pie at its best is the last and final expression of the pie genus, and where cooks have been careful in eliminating the seeds and the juice hasn't made sod den dough of the crust a cherry pie meets the souls highest demands In the gooseberry l find a certain raci- ness or, if may use the expression, zip. that is highly stimulating. Both qualities you will observe in Hezekiah if you come to know her well.
 "I have already formed a high opin- ion of Miss Hezekah and l should deal harshly with any one who ven tured to criticise her in any particu- lar" l replied.
 "Will you kindly inform me just when you made the acquaintance Of my younger niece? l should greatly dislike to believe you guilty of dis stimulation, but when HeZekiah was mentioned in the gun room last night your silence led me to assume that she was wholly unknown to you.'
 "She was, ] assure you. at the diu- ner hour last night But l met her quite by chance this afternoon in an orchard at no great distance from this house"
 Miss Octavia paused in the hall and bent her head iu thought for mo- ment
 May l inquire whether she referred in any way to Mir Wiggins in this in- terview"
 'She did Miss Holister" ] replied And ] could not help smiling as l re- memIered Hezekiah's laughter at the 1 mention of my friend My smile did not escape Miss Octavia.
 Just how. may I ask, did she refer to Mir. Wigginsf'
 "As though she thought him the fun niest of human beings. She laughed dellciously at the bare mention Of his name"
 "lt was not your impression, then, that she was deeply enamored of him that she was eating her heart out for himf"
 Decidedly not. Miss Hollister She gave me quite different idea
 "You relieve me greatly. Mir. Wig gins sense of humor is the slightest and should not in the least fancy him for Iezekiah And besides. l an not yet ready to arrange a marriage for her"
 She laid the slightest stress on tho final pronoun, It was fair inference then. 'that Miss Cecilla's affairs were being "arranged.' % when they had beei determined a husband would be fOun, for Hezekiah, l did not doubt tha Miss Holllsters intentions toward be- nieces were the friendliest no matte
