The bride was not as happy asshe might have been under other circumstances but at home no one ever loved or considered her since her mother’s death; and Fred loved her, and she loved him. Her only trouble was that she must leave her uncle Bill. “That is hard,” the old man said, “very hard, Phemie.” And then Fred held out his hand. “Uncie Bill,” he said, ‘we shall live in a very plain way, but if you will live with us, we will do our best to make you happy, and shall Season closes July roth.

Dear old Uncle Bill.” Certainly Phemie was the old man’s only friend in that pompous household. She it was who went up to his little room with his meals, and sat with him while he ate them; who saw that he had the newspaper and his pipe; who had fixed that lit- tle, out-of-the-way place with a pret- ty carpet, book shelves, a student’s lamp, lots of pretty ornaments in worsted and painted silk; who never received her montkly allowance with- out buying something for him. His pretty, snow-white shirts were her gift, and she saw that they were “done up” properly. The flannel dressing gown he wore in winter was of her contrivance. In fact, ap in that dormer-roofed room there were hours that were more home- lke than any spent in the great par- lors, or the big dining-room, where Miss Belle was only affectionate to “pa” when she wanted him to give her more money to spend; and Miss Norris, made bitter speeches in the pauses of the needle-work in which she was perpetually engaged. Some- times directed at her brother, some- times at Belle, sometimes at Phemie, but all worded so circumspectly and ;you'd be a victim to liver complaint, and that would make you ill-natured and you'd scold me, and say naughty words. Now you haven't any money or stocks to worry about, like poor pa; and you're not irritable, and I like to be with you. too. old man would say. member the day that you came to/| the hospital with her?” twelve years old and mamma was | erying over the telegran. ‘My broth- er, Phemie,’ she said. he may die, and so poor that he’s in the hospital.” | we brought you home, and ma nurs- They all do, you know.

They were very busy often. over books; over Phemie’s embroidery, for which he designed patterns; teaching her little dog a thousand | tricks; feeding the blind kittens Phe- ‘mie saved from drowning; making a little well, from which the canary drew buckets of water. And Phe- mie and the old man would wander off to the river side, where he would fish, seldom catching anything, and she would read or knit. None of the family knew of these intimacies. Belle, older than Phe- mieby six years, preferred that she should consider herself a child until Miss Norris was married. And Aunt Marcia detested her for her resem- blance to the sister-in-law who “had never been congenial.” No one in the house knew, but some one not of the household did, and shared at times in them. | | | Sometimes, when the old man’s rod dangled over the water. a younger angler would take his place near him—a handsome young fellow with black hair and the brightest eyes in the world; and then the hours went by like hours ina dream, and Phemie felt happy as she had felt when a child by her mother’s side. And Uncle Bill laughed and told fishermen’s stories. As for the young man, silent or talkative, he was always charming. So thought Phemie. She was seventeen; she had never had a lover. She was well read in romantic lore. What hap- pened was only to be expected. In a little while two lovers sat beside Old Uncle Bill on the banks of the pretty stream, and walked together as far as the little gate in the hedge that nobody else used, and did not hide from the old man that they parted with a kiss. Fred Howard was not a fashiona- ble man, only the son of a poor wid- ow who had made a book-keeper of her boy. What holidays he had, he spent at home. This was his mid- | summer vacation; he was bright and good and handsome, but Mr. Norris clothed in such a guise of piety that no one dared resent them.

As Phemie and Fred stood icok- ing at each other. old Uncle Bill's head arose above the shrubbery. “I give my permission,” he said, with more than usual dignity; “and I am her mother’s brother. I think you will make her happy, young Fred Howard.” The maiden aunt and the sister, who was to be§the bride of an En- glish nobleman, led Phemie a sad life of it for a while; but one morn- ing she walked out of her old home in her simple, church going costume, | , and was married in the little chapel | / at St. John.
