BY HELEN F. MORE. From Harper's Baz-r. Otp Fans, October 50, 18— George Maxwell was sitting with me when the mail brought me aletter from Uncle Simon nes.

Tansiered ail her questions adoat hi well as Lcould, and she leit at last, after making me promise to come and see her very soon. Unele Simon brought another visitor home to tea with him, @ Mr. Arthur Parker—rather a good-looking young fellow, tall and fair, with nice honest eyes and a frank smile. Somehow, thonzh. I fancied that he wished himself any where else, for a cat in a strange garret would have been at its ease compared to him. As for me, 1 was meditating upon Miss Lutu’s visit, and I am afraid that 1 was rather stupid and absent-minded. I was horrified at last to catch myself in the midst of a tremendous yawn. Just as L recovered myself, in dismay and per- turbation, I caught Mr. Parker's eye. There was asympathetic twinkle in it which, instead ot embarrassing, quite reassured me, and we burst hing simultaneously. I was afraid that Uncle Sunon would be vexed, but he smiled and beamed as I bad never seen him do before. When Mr. Parker had left, Uncle Simon ex- pressed his approbation in modified terms. ~ It isn’t generally well to yawn in company, Maddie, but this time It was, perhaps, the best thing you could do, as it broke the ice com- pletely. Parker is an uncommonly fine fellow, and I was glad to see that you made a good Im- pression.” Before 1 went to bed I scribbled a short note to Geo—Mr. Maxwell, as I had promised, telling hun of my safe arrival, and mentioning the ur two neighbors. Of both I spoke unbounded praise. Why? I wonder. Perhaps Mr. Maxweil will know, but I don’t. November 12, Ithink f am beginning to anderstand why people consider Uncle Simon difficult to live with. It began the day after 1 cate, but it began temperately, out of deference to my rank as stranger. It was spiced, too with compll- ments, “Nieo you walk well, very well; but if you put down your feet a litle more firmly, ‘feet would be better.” lece, you have a very smooth, pretty com- t it is a trifle dark for blue. now, would be advice. and ul the e placed a horse at my dis- posal. supposed that [rode tolerabl well, but after my first ride with him Leouid only conclude that I was a most “awful duffer” at it. “tands lower, body firmer. but—ab, well, keep on trying. h r. Don't be discouraged. We'll make a horsewoman of you yet. You hare been dread- fully taught, but that’s not your fault.” it was an immense relief when Uncle Simon suddenly shot trom my side toward'a man who was laying a stone fence. The man no sooner saw Uncle Simon, however, than he fairly took to his heels and boited across the flelds. Uncle Simon returned to my side with a crest-fallen air. “It is the most extraordinary thing.” he said. “I have been trving to give Ben Grimes some idea of the proper way of laying fences. I thought he was getting quite a fair tdea of it, but lately I have never theen able to get speech Simon,” I said, ‘isn't fence-lay- as That's better, Whip a little of him.” “But, Unc ing his —oli, certainly,” said Uncle Simon, look- ing puzzled. “But what of that? Do you sup. pese half the men in the world unders-and their own trades?

Just one stood his ground—a sturdy, red-faced | cou! aan, who awaited us doggedly. “Look a-here, squire,” he burst out, before Unele Simon could speak, “if you've got any ‘adlvice’ to give me you might as well save your breath.

Tthoucht he would have answered my note befort this, especially after begging me ‘8 to write, November 19. Thave begun upon a new plan. Things are becoming monotonous, and it is time to turn the tables. Uncle Simon, having criticised nearly everything else about me, began this morning upon my hair. ce, you don’t wear your hair properly. There is but one way for a woman to wear it; that Js. platnly parted and colled low down be- hind. That way of piling it all up on the top of your head is quite out of character.” “Uncle, I'm glad you mentioned it. for it gives me courage. Ihave often wanted to tell you that you don't wear your beard properly. ‘There ts but one way for a man to wear it; that is, with a neatly shaved chin, and omly a mus- tache and long whiskers lett.” Uncle Simon stared at me. “Are you crazy?” he said. “Nice I should look, at my time of life! But about your hair: I'll show you how to fixit. if you like. You don't know how it would improve your appearance.” “Indeed, uncle, I amin earnest.” I said. “You don't know how much better you would look. Tl show you how to shave if you like.” Uncle Simon began to see. “He stared at me fora moment; then with a sort ot snort, half amusement. half disgust, he got up from the table and began to fli and lsht his pipe. As for me, I took up my knitting and went onwith it calmly. He contemplated me for a while through the smoke clouds. Then hesaid, ‘Niece, you don’t hold your needles right.” “Do you know how to knit, uncle?” I asked. “I? Why certainly not; but that does not hin- der my knowing how it shonid be dgne.” “No,” L skid: “but, uncle, pray forgive me; but the: way you smoke really distresses me. You don’t hold your pipe right. an¢—— “And pray, miss,” he said, ‘do you know how “Certainly not,” 1 said; “but that does not hinder my knowing how it should be done, does it?” “Well. it Just does,” sald Uncle Simon. But I remonstrated. “Not at all, uncle. I've seen lots oftmen smoke, and I know Just how it should be done. You see——” “Will you let me and my pipe alone?” said Unele Simon. “Yes,” said I, “if youl leave me and my knitting alone.” Unele Simon’s cyes twinkled a little, but he said nothing. only walked into the kitchen—to take it out of Amanda, I suppose. If she were not the best creature in the world she never would stand his constant “advice.” November 21. We had quite a little excitement here last night.

Of course we all rushed into the dining-room, to find Uncle Simon incapable for once of giving advice, ashe capered wildly about the room, quite uncertain what to do. In the course of his explorations he had taken out the ash pan and set it upon a newspaper to preserve the carpet from injury. Being hot, as ash pans are apt to be, it had smouldered for a moment and then tiashed suddenly into a blaze. Mr. Parker was the only one of us who had any sense. He took in the situation at once, and rushing from the room, returned with some dark object, which he threw over the ourning paper, pressing and trampling st down until the flames were completely the: Unele Simon looked at the ruins for a moment, as Mr. Parker removed the charred remains of his new overcoat. find it impossible to give 2d mistaken. “It is all Amanda's fault.” said Uncle Simon. “What does sie mezp by keeping her-ash pans sohot?
