Chapter X.— EeTelationa, 



The morning train from Albany had thundered 

 throng* ttie town, and Mr. Howuurowas about 

 returning to the llollow, when hasty footsteps 

 were heard within the hall, aud in a moment his 

 sister stood before him. She had traveled night 

 aud day since leaving Milwaukee, she said, but 

 she didn't mind il ol all, she was so impatient to 

 be ut home and tell bim what she'd heard, and, 

 without so much as untying her bonnet, Miss Eli- 

 Non continued, " I told you all the lime they were 

 impostors,— but m*n have so little sense. I'm 

 glgd / ain't B mon, though if I were, no woman

 lady walked up and down the room, upsetting, in 

 her wrath, both her traveling basket und band-box, 

 which last, iu a measure, diverted her attention, 

 nan, whether married or single, can 

 think of anything else when her " meeting bonnet" 

 in danger. 



J'icking up the hoi and assuring herself Lhnt its 

 intents were unharmed, she continued, "Why

 to be dead. 



" The trollop .' The jade .'" ejaculated Miss Eli- 

 koh. "I understand her perfectly. She wished to 

 keep up appearances and make her father stay 

 mvav until she became your wife, and yon couldn't 

 help yourself. Dritd up old maid, indttil I'll 

 touch her to call me names. But what of Mr. 

 Warren and little Alice? I'll go to them at 

 once," and, notwithstanding her recent fatiguing 

 journey, the energetic woman started for the Hol- 

 low, saying to her brother who uccompanied her, 

 -I am determined upon one thing, Hicuaro. If 

 Mr. Warren dies, Alh 1; will live with us and have 

 the best chamber, loo. Poor little creature, how 

 she must have suffered." 



They found both Mr. W Annas and Alice asleep, 

 but Miss Elinor's kiss awoke the latter, who utter- 

 ed a cry of joy at the sight of her friend nnd bene- 

 The sick man, too, ere long, awoke, but 

 only to doze again, and as the day wore on he con- 

 nucd in a state of stupor, from which it was dif- 

 ficult to rouse him. Just before the suu was set- 

 ling, however, consciousness returned, and he 

 asked for Alu-e, who

In this uuamiable mood she fretted until late in 

 the afternoon, when old Fkoot, who bad been sent 

 on an errand to the village, returned, bringingfbe 

 newifhat Mr. Warms was not expected to lite, 

 and that she saw Mr. Howlano entering the door 

 as she passed. Then, lowering her voice to a 

 whisper, she continued, " Bight up against the

MISCELLANEOUS ENIGMA. 



"My father,'' repeated Adelaide, 

 hundred miles of hue ' 

 Still, the idea troubled her even more tl 

 ?ws of Mr. Wabren's illness, and after old 

 ft the room, she turned to her mothi 

 Wouldn't it be mean if father had 

 gone to aec Mr. Warrcn*' 



I suppose it would be right, though," relumed 

 mother, while Apblaidi continued, "Bight 

 wrong, nobody wants him turning up bodily ji 

 yet, for Mr. Howlano is so squeamish about a lit- 

 tle deception that my chance of winning him would 

 be rather slim, if lie knew father was not dead ns 

 he believes him to be. If I secure him before he 

 finds it out, bo can't help himself, aud I wish he'd 

 either propose or let it alone. I declare, mother,! 

 think it is your duty as a prudent, careful parent 

 to ask what his intentions are. You can tell him 

 there is a great deal of talk about his coming here 

 so much, and uuless ho is serious, you prefer that 

 he should discontinue his vists, hinting 

 that you fear my affections are already too deeply 

 enlisted lor my future happiness, ohould he not be 

 in earnest. Say, mother, will you tell him this 

 when he comes again?" • 



Mrs. Huntington at first refused, 

 entreaties finally prevailed, and
