J1Y HELENA DIXON.
They were sitting alone, those two
girls, in Squire Cleveland’s snug parlor.
Carletta Cleveland, tall, 'lark, and regal
ly Ix-autiful, and timid. Carletta wns
the danglitor of Squire Cleveland, the
-mast influential man in the village.—
Fannie w;ts ('arietta’s cousin, poor, and
an orphan, and the servant of the Whole
family.
“l’ut down that honk. Fun, and come
und smooth my hair,’ commanded Cur-
h Ita. “Arthur ({ray will he here soon,
1 want yciti fo fasten this lose in i'iy
liair too.’
“I thought yon did not care for Ar
thur Gray,’ said Fannie timidly.
"Care for Arthur Gray! Cnrlettit
Cleveland caro for a poor unknown
'Miool master! Fannie Willinrd, are you
crazy ? Because t don’t care to look
like a fright eveu ill his presence, you
insult me in tlint manner! There, yon
rail go nml get tea, and mind yon never
mention Arthur Gray’s name to me
again.’
tVnhie went out, leaving Carlpttft to
await the coming of the village school
master, Squire Cleveland wns school-
director, and the teacher always boitrded
at his house.
Carletta had told the truth ; she did
iiot, and determined she never would
eare for Mr. Gray, film despised him,
YuUUsoim and well-bred though he'was,
because he ‘worked for his liviug;’ but
ahe wns vain, aud wanted to be admired
by evcrylKHly, and felt piqued because
Arthur Gray did not seem inclined to
break his heart for her; true, he had
seemed fascinated by her beauty and
wit when he first became an inmate of
her father’s house; but she had repulsed
him coldly nnd scornfully, and now,
though she smiled on him in her most
bewitching way, he seemed utterly in-
different.
When he came in this afternoon, she
was uncommonly brilliant, while he was
reserved. almost cold toward her
the belief that he loved her, and
V,, “ “ '•onqnettish desire to make him
genlons, Carletta drew from her pocket
* small gold locket. She touched tlm,
spring and it flew open, revealing a
handsome boyish face, destitute of
heard, though decidedly manly in. ex
pression. She handed it to the school
master, saying:
“l)id you ever know the original of
that ?’
“Yes, it is ArtLm Kingsley, your boy
lover.’
Carletta wondered where he had seen
him, and how he knew that Arthur
Kingsley had ever been her lover, but
she did not ask hiqi.
“He is not a boy now. It is eight years
since that likeness was taken, aud be
bn- been away all that time. Do yon
tuink he will be much changed, Mr.
Orayr
“He may be changed in heart as well
as personal appearance. In eight years
a man may stray far from the narrow road
he delighted to tread in his youth,’
replied bp, Wichipgber faoe narrowly
“He is rich. Years haven’t taken
»WAy his wealth,’ was her only answer.
“So,* thought he, 'riches is all she
considers worth having.’
“Mr. Kingsley may find you changed
too,’ Mid he, after a pause. 'Ho left yon
» yonne .afifcetiouate gii*; he
wUr&tijri! to find W^ahwccomplished,
cold-hearted woman of the world.’ This
was said more in tones of bitterness and
sorrow than reproach, and Carletta was
more pleased thah angered at these
words, for she imagined baffled love had
prompted them. She took an enameled
case from her pocket, and handed it to
jit". Gritjr. It contained a mfulhlare of
herself, taken before the departure of
Arthnr Kingsley for Europe. *
Yon have changed, Miss Cleveland,
arid the change in yoo» looks Is for the
belter,’ said he, as be gazed aL ftie pict
ure in an abstracted sad sort of way.
When is Mr. Kingsley expected?*
In the early part of next month,’
replied Carletta; then feha added, as H
to herself:
“it is straage he doesn’t write aby
more. t haven’t .had a letter in tjiree
mottUik. " At liibht be hw*>ViSh hn is hom
ing bottles© soon.’
“Carletta—Miss Cleveland,’ Arthnr
Gray’s dark eyes were fixed on her as
though he would read the secrets of her
very soul; ‘I wish yon to tell me as your
friend, and one who is \Vetsonally inter
ested, ■frli'ether or not you love this
man—this Arthur Kingsley.’
“And if I do or do not, what matters
it to yon-, Arthur Gray ?’
“It matters everything to me. More,
much more than yoa imagine.’
A miserable spirit of coquetry took
possesion of Carletta, aad ahe answered
gayly, yet truly.
No, I do not—not a particle. Are you
satisfied ?’
Arthnr Gray, still watching her, an
swered :
“Yea. I’m convinced that yon have
spoken the truth.'
But be did not declare his own love
for her, as Carletta expected he wottid,
but Sat Silently toying with the picture
case. Then Fannie came in to summon
them to tea. She had exchanged her
calico dress for one of white muslin,
dotted over with violets, and a bine rib
bon was knotted iu her hair.
“What in this world have yon been
dressing up in this style for? Oh! I
know, Mr. Gray. /t’s all bee <nse yon
told her you liked to sec lief with a blue
ribbon. How silly you are, Fannie
Williard! jnst because Mr. Gray notices |
you once in a while, you will bore ns to
death with your fineries-. Poii’t you
fcnov, yrtn have thU dishes to wash ...and
the milk to skim, nnd the cows to milk,
and yon can’t do it in that dress, either.
But since you have taken such pains to
make Mr. Gray h'otiee you, yon may
pour his tea in that dress, nnd then off
with it, and don’t let me sde you with it
on before Suuday.’
After these cruel words were uttered,
Carletta led the way to the tW-titble,
while poor Fannie, instead of going in
to pour the tea, nnd stand by in servile
silence, ready to do any of the family’s
biddings, went round to the kitchen,
and sat down ou the door-step and cried.
There Arthur Gray found her, after he
finished his tea. All through the meal
Carletta had complained of the trial she
had with that vain girl, and what a good-
for-nothing thing she was, adding that
as she was a relative, they had to tole
rate her.
“Don’t mind her, Fannie. I love yon,
and I want yon to love me. ’
And Arthur Gray wonnd his arm
around 'her waist, and lifted her np,
stroking the soft hair caressingly, and
even kissing the bine ribbon that lied it.
Poor Fannie, she had loved him all
the time, but. ns she thought, in Vttih;
because Carletta had told her that he
»ns in love with herself, and that he
despised the poor, dependent orphan.
How happy she felt now, as she Went
about her work.
The next afternoon Mr. Gray was
standing in the hall, talking with Fan
nie, when Carletta came down, dressed
for the street.
“I am going for a walk, Mr. Gray;
f„ n ^ Yvdffld
like to go along. Fannie, yon can come
along, jnst to show the people that those
Browns tell what isn’t so when they say
we keep yon to work all the time.’
I shall be happy to attend yon and
Miss Williard.’
Miss Williard,’ repeated Carletta,
with a sneer. “One would think Mr.
Gray, you were speaking of a lady.’
1 They walked down the shady street
together, Carletta cold and hanghty in
her rich attire, Fannie happy in posses
sion of the love of the noble man who
walked by her side»_, ,
We will go to the Kingsley house/
yon like, Mr. Gray. I should like
to see it, and Fannie might like
the conveniences of the kitchen ty ar **
ment. I am acquainted with tbe^ nse '
keeper; and we can go all over tl
if we like.’
Mr. Gray knew at once thal
object in bringing himself f F»nme
with her was to take them t® e *‘ n ^ s '
t bouse and
and would
a hanghty mistress displaying her rooms
to some one she was pleased to patrbh-
ize- When she came to the late Mrs.
Kingsley’s room, she threw herself into
tke sleepy hollow of a chair, exclaiming
raptuonsly: .. ; . - -
* ‘What coaid be more enchanting than
tbit rooml Isn’t it magnificent? only
the carpetis a trifle too dark. I shall
have a lighter one pus down.’
Carletta colored crimson aa she caught
ML Grief’s eye; she had not intended
to say so much. Further than the glance
he gave her, he took no notice of what
she bad said. He sat down, and looked
sadly and even solemnly abont the
room. At length he smile*! faintly,
asked Fannie ItoflT die liked *~
1
«a Jret; that is the only part, she is cap
able of appreciating,’ laughed Carletta.
Fannie took no notice of this thrust.
“I like it very much, indeed, only—’
“Only what ?’
“It seems a little too grand. Every
thitog is'eeins too fiice for us.’
"That is the first really sensible thing
yon ever said,’ exclaimed Carletta. ‘It
shows yon know your place is not in a
drawing-room.’
“But suppose circumstances should
place you in just such a house as this is,
yon would be happy?’
“In the kitchen of it, she might,’ re
iterated Carletta.
“I meant as its mistress; she could
fill the p'ost admirably. She doesn’t
know of what she is capable, she has
been oppressed so long and so com
pletely. ’
Carletta’s eyes were snapping fire
now.
