BY ANNIE ELIOT. “I don’t believe there are, Dot.” “Don't believe what?” “There are people living in any of these houses.” Dot raised her eyes from her interminable crocheting for a moment. and glanced up and down the village street. “It doesn’t look much like It,” she assented. We were sitting on the top step of the front entrance of an old farm house ina Maine village. Thad been reading, but had dropped my book, leaned my head against the door post,and medl- tated for some minutes. I had never imagined quiet so absolute—save for the distant sound, constant, soothing and magnetic, of the unseen. breakers rolling up the sand below the opposite slope—as the quiet of this Maine village street. ‘There were houses on every side, well-to-do-look- ing country houses, with elms shading their front doors and front gates; but nobody ever went In or out, no servant-maid shook a dust-cloth out of any of the windows, no children tumbled over | each other in any of the front yards a dos residing opposite that I was PP Skye, which seemed to sus ie ribbon aud city streets. He trotted out a moment ago, and lay down tn the road with an air ef suilen apathy. There was no society inside the fence, perhaps there might be some in the highway. It almost seems if he was | willing to be ran over for the sake of creating a | littie diversion. But he soon trotted back in a | subdued manner; the society, such as it 1s, 1s not to his taste. He tried a feeble bark at a ina broad hat and a woman in a water- f, but It was not a success; he felt it was not himself. “Dot,” said I, “they talk about the hard- ‘king New England farmers—” “Who do “Oh, they—everybody. How can they work | hard In such an atmosphere as this? In the rush and competition of city life it is natural to work, to be occupied is one’s normal con- dition—” “It’s singular how successfully some j for wedding robes is people rut it is dis- “Did you make that up, or did you just read ite” ‘Imadelt up.

Mind your game, and I'll! mind mine.” The words came through the | closed door that led into the living-room at our right. ‘ said Dot, dryly, ‘this is the Sabbath | stillness of the country.” it will readily be seen by the most careless reader of the above conversation that Dot was | given to snubbing meat every turn. I feel it only due to myself to state that I am really very nice and very senstble; but If I had not been weil grounded in the facts of thecase she would often have contrived to make me feel rather foolish. This time, however, It was difficult not knowledge the force of her satire, and I | Ps Four men were playing euchre in the next room. They were our only fellow-boarders In this out-of-the-way farm-house, and, as we had ¢ out from their conversation at the table, | 1. come ont for some shooting. They played | ‘uchre during most of their odd hours, and two of them were always quarrelling over the lead, the play, the deal or the score. One of the ners tries to clear the air bya genial lauzh When words wax too warm, but it is not effect- ual, and the fourth contents himself with silence till, weary of contention, he shouts, “I said What do you say?” This brings them back to business for the time being. We had been in the house two days, and we devoted much of our time to speculations in rezard to these four men. They took not the slichtest apparent notice of us, though we took bre t, dinner and supper at the same table, and met them at every turn. “Do you think it would seem odd If I went and rang the door-bell opposite, and asked: “Please, do any folks live here? And if they do, had they just as lief come and stand around in the front’ yard a few minutes each day?” “I don’t know,” said Dot, doubtfully. “It cht seem odd in some pla but perhaps oy al vait to pe urged.” vi here a week. I must iways climb the back fence, so as not to disturb the front walk, when they come to make a real neighborly sit-down visit, and why.” “Why do you let it worry you so?” “Because I can't help it. I've been in this places two ole days, and I know no more about my neighbors than I did the evening I came—and 1 never want to know anything more except about my nelghbors. I’ve laughed and | been contemptuous about the petty curiosity of country villages. but now—curlous! If I lived | he x months I'd know just how much this | air ve for her new bonnet ribbon, and whether or not it was a remnant. while if a young man went to see her, 'd go and ring the door-bell, and insist upon knowing his middle name.” “We'll take a drive to-morrow, if you like, L and see if we can't find out something about somebody.” The next day It rained, and my Impatience grew with delay. I think Dot was impatient and curious too, but she wouldn't allow it. Cer- tainly, when the sun came out the day after, she lost notime in telling Mr. Stubbs that we wanted a carriage, with a horse we could drive ourselves, at three in the afternoon. Mr. Stubbs was not hard of hearing, nor particularly dense of understanding, but he liked to have things reiterated; so about half an hour after we had clearly be here our wishes he came into the room, looking for his hat, and remarked: “Said ye wanted that waggin at ’bout three o'clock, didn’t ye?” “Yes, Mr. Stubbs,” sald Dot and I. Then he went away again, and didn’t come Lose! for an hour, this time with his hat on his ead. “Hullo, Mr. Stubbs,” sald Cadwallader, one of the men, a hopeless invalid, come for the sea air, with whom the rainy day had made us ac- quainted. ‘Found your hat? Lucky you come in jest when you did—jest thinkin’ "bout adver- tisin’ for it in the Boston a eee Cadwallader was a man of about fifty, a gen- uine Yankee, with none of the Yankee culture, whose native humor had not been driven out by years of illness. - “Wa’al, yase. I found it; ‘twarn’t gone for long.” Mr. Stubbs was never quite at ease under Cadwallader's chaff. “Lessee. You said you wanted that hoss ‘long "bout half past two, didn’t ye? “Yes,” sald Dot, acridly. “Yase, 1 calc'lated that was the time ye eaid.” “That's one of your hard-working New Eng- | land farmers, upon whom the atmosphere has no effect, I suppose,” said Dot, as he left the room. Mr. Stubbs was a splendid specimen of this |race physically. He stood six feet two, I be- lieve. and looked strong enough to plow anacre or two before breakfast and think nothing of it, ater the manner of the ordinary centenarian who has never used tobaceo in any form. But if he did anything of this kind he was very still about it—very still, indeed. His wife and | daughter, quiet and intelligent women, man- axed everything quietly and intelligently, but Mr. Stubbs seemed to epees @ large quant! of time * harnessin’ up.” renever quite what he harnessed up for.

Ye didn’t want it right after dinner, did ye?” laughed faintly, ‘ou might tell him we'd like it about three, Dot,” I suggested. “No, we didn’t,” sald she, with perhaps un- necessary emphasis. “I gave you the hour.” Yase. Wa’al, I guess he'll be here ‘bout the right time. He's pretty sure to be along.” With grim determination Dot shut the door and took up her book, and we read in silence foran hour. Then I looked at my watch. “Dot,” said I, “isn't that wagon coming be- tween half past two and three?” I think—’ “Gals,” said a familiar voice, “it’s pretty nigh three o'clock, and the waggin’s here. I told him paces b'lieve you calc'lated to go much before ree.” We drove up the qulet street, by the post- office and village store combined, with its group of idlers, who had listened with such unanimous and flattering interest when we had given our names on the occasion of our first inquiry for letters. Over the bridge, and up the short hill from the crest of which was that broad view of the blue water, the remembrance of which now as I write gives me a feeling of homesickness. There was something charmingly novel to us both in thus starting out to drive, we knew not where, and with no more definite object in view than to see if anybody lived in any of these silent houses. Stillthe same down-drawn curtains, the same grass-grown path to the front door,the same look of utter seclusion. o wonder New Englanders are not Roman Catholics!” said Dot. “What's the use of con- vents?” “At the next house with a brass knocker I shall stop, knock, and walk in if they'll let me. I will see If the doors are real or imitation.” It was some time before we came to such a place. We were about two miles from the yil- lage now, and the houses were by no meansnear together. When we did, I Jumped out, and with- out heeding Dot's ironical Inquiries as to what 1 was going to do when I had succeeded in effect- ing an entrance, tied the horse and opened the ‘ate. She followed me, of course. The gate did not move easily on its hinges, and the old-fash- joned flowers that had been planted each side of the walk twined themselves acrogs it, and made @ green matted bed out of what was originallya pebbled path. I stepped on the large stone be- fore the door, and raised the heavy knocker. Clang!-clang! It rang throughthe silent alr, and Teverberated through what was perhaps an empty house. jot,” said I, ‘I’m scared.” ‘Of course you are,” said Dot, severely, ‘and Td like to know what you will say when they open the door. I've no doubt it's an offense equal to pee Jarceny, or assault and battery at the very least, to go to the front door when there’s a side one to be had.” I turned quite pale at the thought. “You've no excuse to give,” went on Dot, pitile: ind they'll fine you, and it'll be a pretty thing to get Into the Maine papers, and e copied into the Connecticut ones, and come tothe eyes of your unsuspecting family.” This was a gloomy outlook. but there seem- ed little danger of its immediately becoming ac- tual experience. They didn’t seem to mind that knocker any more than some people do an ear- trumpet. Emboldened by the unbroken silence, I gave Dot a defiant look, and let it fall again. It crashed louder than before. Still no sign of life in or about the house. “Perhaps It’s a deaf-and-dumb asylum,” sug- gested Dot, ina whisper. Why she whispered I didn't pause to ask. It seemed illogical and unnecessary in the face of her own hypothesis, but she certainly did whisper. Disturbed by this idea, I plied the knocker four or five times successively, and then paused, startled at my own rashness. “Nothing but the fact of the house being on fire could excuse that,” sald Dot, decisively. We waited a few minutes. We heard some one coming around the house. A small girl ap- peared, hatless and shoeless, but neat and very pretty. Ismiled ina weakly way, in order to ingratiate myselt if possible, but she seemed to be little influenced by such forced cheerfulness. ‘Ma says if twas you as knocked, you ken step’round to the other door,” she observed at length. I gave Dot a despairing glance. This was to be the end of it, then—the other door after all! Dot was maliciously amused, but we both step- ped around. A pleasant-looking woman met us. “Waval, 1 declare for't, there was somebody there, warn’t there?” she said, with a smile.” ‘I don’t pay much attention to that front door, but Hattie she ‘lowed there was some one there. Been tryin’ the knocker, ain't ye? That's the biggest knocker there {sin these parts, I guess. ‘Won't you walk in and set down?” Isaw by Dot's expression that the burden of the conversation was to be left entirely to me, and felt the full consequences of my temerity. I walked‘ in, therefore, to gain time. The kitchen which we entered was like all kitchens familiar to country visitors. There was an old clock in the corner, an ironing-table, a small cooking-stove, the necessary cooking utensils, and little else save that in what would have been the chimney-corner but for the ugly stove sat avery old woman. She was not knitting ; she was looking straight before her, and she took no notice of our entrance. ‘We don’t hardly ever use that knocker,” went on our hostess, who seemed really rather pleased to see us. “There don't anybody hardly ever go to the front door anyway. It’s so much handier to come right ‘round here.” “Can we have a glass of water?” I asked, meekly; “it’s so warm driving.’ Asamatter of fact it was not very warm driving, but neither of us thought of that. As he bustled off to draw the water for us at the Il, Dot sald, with an air of malevolent triumph: “I Knew you would have to come to It; I was sure you couldn® think of anything else, and drinks of water are always in order.” “Like to have you set awhile,” was the hos- pitable invitation extended to us. ‘‘Law sakes! no, you ain't keepin’ me from anythin’! All chores are done long ago. Been workin’ on this carpet more for suthin’ to do.” “That 18 your mother, I suppose,” sald Dot, respectfully designating the old. lady in the cor- ner. ‘No, she’s my grandmother. She’s eighty- seven now. She's done a power of knitting in her time—most always see her witha of yarn—but she ain’t touched it now in over a week. She can’t hear ye, nor me either—she’ deaf as an adder. You have to holler to make her hear anythin’, but hollerin’ ain’t done it aay She’s been just as you see her now, hardly movin’, sence a week ago.” e oe aren’t you anxious about her?” inquired ot. “No. Grandmother ‘ll come ‘round pretty soon.

The only thing anybody could remember seein’ her do out of the common was to pitch a little branch of sweet-williams she had In her hand out of the window; his name was William Lucas.” “And didn’t he come?” asked Dot and I, breathlessly. “No, he didn’t never come. Just as well he didn’t, I guess; I think he was kind of mean- sperrited.” “But what was the reason? Was Me killed? What had become of him?” “Law sakés, no! he warn’t killed. "Twas found out he went off in the stage, and you ken bilieve nobody thought of runnin’ arter him;” and she gave a little toss to her head on the part of outraged womanhood. “No, but why, why did he do it? There must have been a reason.” “Yea, there must have been a reason, but no one ’round here ever knowed what it was. Some folks sald ‘Mella Downs, that used to live next door, went with him, cause she’d gone some- where the same day, but there warn’t no truth in that, for she’d only gone to get patterns, and she came back in two days and set up In the manty-making business. @ was dretful mad about it, and said she never set eyes on him. Some sald he liked her; and she liked him well enough, I guess. But sakes! there warn’t no law agin his marryin’ her if he'd ’a wanted ter.” “And is that all?” peralsrea Dot. ‘Was there never anything more?” “No, there warn’t never anythin’ more to that. Some folks kinder pitied her—but, law! there warn’t no pityin’ grandmother. You'd’a thought it had all been done a-purpose. By- and-by gran’ther, who'd known her all along sence before this feller come, he kep’ persistin’ and persistin’, he was dretful sot, gran'ther was, and at last she took him, and was a good wife to him—everybody said that. Nobody ever heard any more and 1 don’t b'lieve it ever troubled her much aftershe’d married gran’ther. But about a week ago she was readin’ out of a newspaper, a little at a time, the way she does, when she gave a queer little noise and fainted clean away.

Willlam Lucas, aged elghty-seven—they were just of an age- and she’s been like you see her now ever sence. So that was the end of it. From twenty to eighty-seven—what a lifetime!—and she had fainted at the news of his death. We thanked her and went awa} “Talwaya thought he was mean-sperrited,” she sald. “Well,” said Dot, sententiously, “is your cu- riosity satisfied, and do you realize that romance 1s not inseparably connected with a young man ringing the front door bell and a girl peeping through the front dow blinds Mer Fan.
