“ Well 1 Would I not accede to that or
any other request you might make of me f
What happiness to be uuder the orders of
so iair a cummauder.’’
And the tone ol his voice, the glow in
bis hautisume eyes, made her pulws thrill
with the hope that had more than once
came to her since this glut ious kiug among
men had come among them, for the tir*t
time iu years, making the magnificent old
ancestral home fairly sciulillant with mirth
and gayety.
Then site laughed.
“ Would it ready be happiness to serve
under my tl mf Th< n consider yoursell
uuder nu, eratixe orders to promise to do
something lor me that 1 have a fancy for
you to do. Mr. Kinniie, I have an idea
you could nut sel< ct any imaginable dis
guise in which 1 would not lecognize you.
1 want you iu try again—something that
will prove to you that 1 eau detect you
under i lie completest mask.”
llcr.lovely l,!uc eyes were even more
coaxing i ban her sweet, per-uasivo voice.
Her cheeks were delicately (lushed, her
dainty uiuutli smiliug, and Hi mine thought
how passiug lair she was.
So there was a tinge of something even
more marked than usual in his manner,
as he answered:
1 take up the ganullet, Miss Ciarrence,
aud warn you beforehand you will not
write success on your banners unless—1
dare not llatter nix self, dare I—that your
eyes are sharpened by”——
What he would have added was most
effectually prevented by a sweet, fresh
voice, and Madge Ciarrence, Mabel’s young
er sister, joined them.
“ We must be goiug home, Mabel, for
you remember we promised mamma not
to stay later tbau midnight.”
Kruiine did not see the quick, xvralhlul
took Mabel dashed ou Madge, for he was
looking at the petite, sleuiler figure, and
the plain face, aud liulmg the demure air
of the girl c bo was beautiful Mabel's sister,
yet so ulMtty different that it was hard to
imagine them even distant relations.
Aud indent Madge looked more demure
tbau ever In her quaint masquerade cos-
turne of *• Ujarity," with i.s quiet brown
shades that matched so exactly her brighl,
intelligent eyes.
Eimme protested against lheir early de
sertion.
1 shall feel quite the inconsolable In st,
with two such bright particular stars gouc.
Do stay and let mo trust to my powers ol
penitent persuasion with Mi#. Clafience,
to-morrow.”
And so they went home, and Mr. Ermine
assisted them to their carnage aud was
rewarded by Madge’s chi e y “Thank you,”
and a shy, luff-worshipful, half-roguish
glance Irum Mabel’s blue uyes.
The September sunshine si reamed iu
through the wiudoxvs ot the ciarrence din
ing room—a small, cosey room, with gay
carpet aud pictures, and the table spread
iu the middle of the tloor—aud lighted up
with wonderfully vivifying radiance, the
spotless linen, and simple, pretty china
aud glass; and also lighting up, hut with
uo glad reflection of radiance, the pale,
patieut lace ot an elderly iuvalid lady, w ho
sat wearily behind the breakfast service
Mrs. Clarreuce, between whom and her
beauiitul daughter, Maliel, were still traces
ol vivid, yet pitiiully faded resemblance.
Opposite Mis. Ciatrence. Madge sat,
Iresh aud irreproachable as to toilet , which
was a simple cambric wrapper, with dain
ty dimity, ruthing at tjfb pepk.
And at one $]dp aat Mabel! her lovely
golden hair skewered with a long hair pin,
aud her lorehead Med with crimping
pinsj her showy )umning drysa soilei^aud
semi-buttonless, wholly c<-Harless, aud her
tiny feet thrust into slovenly slippers.
Mrs Clsrience poured out the coffee ns
she chatted with the girls, iu her motherly,
iulerSsnSr way.
“ Tell me all about the pait.y last night,
childreu: you wege so gaod yb pguie \ii'Uio

Evidently pietly Mabel was in the pro
verbial ill-humor that emcee alter a night
of dissipation.
*"T|ho slammed closet do-Ja in her
SCllli
tainted Madge, iiuiil-a U-t she grew so
angry mer the tempest she was raising,
ihat she tlnew herself iutn Hie chair in a
veritable tit. of stubborn sulkiness.
Then, .Madge having insisted on her
mother taking a walk in the sunny, gar
den, she xvunt into the kitchen.
“ l’ieasnnt morning, isn’t i.t What a
pity Bridget didu’t g ve you your lireak-
last a little more nppeiizingly. Here, do
make the remnant of your Uoffee at least
palatable.”
She was so cheery that, her very pres-
euco was like a ray of sunshine, uud the
mail, although he seemed unable to uuder-
staml her, bowed several limes in token
of his thankfulness aud appreciaMou, as
she placed a liny jug ol mil”, the sugar-
bowl ai tl a butter plate oil the table be-
siil* bun.
Then she Hew nimbly around and deftly
prepared a pot of ebocolat -, toasted a slice
of bread and carried it in to her sister,
pouting in the cushioned chair.
“ Come, my lady, don't punish yoursell
because you happened to lie a lilt'e out ol
temper. Come, dear, ed, drink and be
merry, aud let’s talk about Mr. Caryl Er
mine.”
Madge’s infectious good humor, the sigh'
>t the toast aud chocolate conquered, and
Mab'-I permitted herself to tie coaxed into
the gossip she really enjoyed.
“ It was glorious last night, wasn’t if ?
Madge, was It only imagination, or did he
really pay me very marked attention f”
Madge laughed.
He was very courteous to everybody.
Yes, come to think of it, Mabel, he did
datice with you three limes, with Miss
Les er twice, an 1 with other less fortunate
creatures ouly once.”
Which latter list, includes yoursell.
Evidently he wasted uo special aduiiratiuu
ou yoursell,” said Mabel.
The cruel, uncalled for sarcasm cut
Madge to the very heart—that loud, true
womanly heart that kuew no jealousy,
nor envy.
Her answer was very quiet, very huuest,
but her sweet seusilive lip quivered.
“ No, Mr. Uruiiue wasted uo special ad

the old, sweet content thiilkd through
her tones—“I aiu very well satisfied.
You snail make the gritiid match one' ol
these days, aud uigmupi a mV I will live

Mabel sneered,
“ It's very little comfort you’ll get under
such an arrangement. Mamina does de

saw, and you are silly enough' to humor
all her whims. Well, Ibauk lleareu the

Madge gathered up the cups and went
into the kitchen, where the man stood by
the door, waitiug evidently to thank her,
which he did, iu a broken patois, Madgo
guessed at more by bis gestures than any
thing else.
That’s all right, my man—You're weL

The ungracious voice broke in, .harshly:

Oaks from Acorus.
About, filly years ago a Jewish gentle
man of wealth eutertaiued one day at din-
uer ihe leading uieu of his race iu Phila
delphia. The banquet was delightful, and
tlie guests were iu high good humor.
‘ Lotus remember the poor aud sick of
our jieople,’ said one wealthy merchant,
drojiping a piece of gold into his goblet.
It passed urouud tbe table and was full
when it returned.
The host poured out tho glittering
xq>. “Well done,’ he said!' ‘I invito
you all here this day a year hence, if you
will promise to remember the poor as
uobly.’
Tbe banquet was repeated aud so was
tbe contribution. Out ot this petty be
ginning grew the great Hebrew beneficiary
societies of Pennsylvauia which care for
every needy member of tho race in the
State, aud whose charities have amounted
to mUlious. They still hold their animat
dinner iu memory of their beginning.

Au American -lady visited it - many years
ago, and was much interested in this gcoil
man and his work. After the Fruuco-
Prussim war*, she read iu a Froucb paper
that owing to tho universal poverty, con
tributions to this home bad almost ceased,
and the bouse would soon be closed.
She was herself a poor woman, and a
ilpless invalid; but she wrote a simple
a .-count of the borne as she had seen it,
and sent it to a leading magazine. Tbe
pithos of tho story caused it to bo copied
into an E Jgtish i>aper. It was read by a
man ot great I enevolence and wealth, who
visited the home, aud at oace took means
ot re-establishing it upon au enlarged and
.si-curo basis.
