THE DAUGHTER'S RUSE
’
-
“I’ve been Mary Ann all my life. and
I should like my little girl to have an
elegant name,” said young Mrs. Alex
under, holding up her first baby for its
father’s inspection, ’
Mr. Alexander, an elderly gentleman <&
™dVuir-«Lu^tf! the ,, ,7 h j*3S
newspaiier, to look at its small face.
“A very pretty child, indeed,” said
he, “at least for her age, u>y dear. And
what do you think will be an elegant
name ?”
“I don’t quite know yet,” said Mrs.
Alexander, softly. “I must think it
over carefully. 1 want to be sure that
she lias really a beautiful name, and
that is ’
one not common.”
Those were nearly the last words the
poor little soul ever said.
,s . in8 , "‘"' Bds ‘" d
Before tiie day was gone the husband
wasa widower.
“ w™ a terrible thing to him. He
had loved his wife as fondly as man
could love, and, though be was so much
older than she, the girl had married him
because she liked him.
“He is nicer in every way than any
young man, I know,” she declared,
“and handsomer, too.”
They hudh.ei.so very happy and now

After those first terrible days were
over, and he could not even gaze UfHMi
the marble face any longer, when all
the terrible uarapheruulia of tlie funeral
had been ufeea away, he used to sit

When '
the door a step sounded 0t! the stairs or
opened he used to lift his heinl
and half expect to sec his wife’s light
fig.,re on ter the room.
At any moment Im could have lw.-n !
brought , to believe that all his sorrow
had been only a dreatn.
K'dhing aroused him until they began
t«»k abmit the child’s name. “It ;
should be christened. It was wrong or
a Christian father to leave the thing
undone so long,” said the nurse ; and
the old clergyman spoke of it ui o.
Their talk brought back his wife’s !
last words. She had desired her child
to have an elegant and an uncommon
m.rne. She should have it.

he fixed on one—that, so far. none
of his friends had used— which certainly
was elegant: the name also of a veiy ’
beautiful woman.
Let us hope that the spirits of our
departed friends are not permitted at all
times to look down upon ns; for the.
name Mr. Alexander chose for his little
daughter was-Cleopatra.
Cleopatra the child was christened,
and Cleopatra was thb name written in
the family Bible; but nobody but her
father ever called the girl so.
I’atra was tlie diminutive her nurse
gave her, and as Patra she made contents mini
pics in tlie garden, spilled the
of her parent’s inkstand over* his law
papers, pullwl the kitten about and stole
the preserves from the pantry. ’
The wiUJ st, merriest, most uncon
trollable of ail children was Patra.
lint she would sit for hour* together
on her father’s knee,'petting him and
being petted by him, looking so like her
mother m miniature that the old man
could have fancied that bis girl-wife Imd
been changed into some beautiful little
elf.
Slowiy lie grew happy again as happy
as people ever become after a
sorrow and disappointment. ail

He gave her all that wealth could
A grim housekeetier ruled the estab

woman. And all was going well until
that happened which fathers are always
the last to believe a possible occurrence

Mr. Alexander did not !ike the idea
«'«l who can blame him ? Hi* daughter
was his all ; but he might have allows
the girl to have her own way hut for
Mrs. Prvnnc. tlie iioiisekei'pcr.
Long ago, in Mr. Alexander’s com

forgetting. The widow did possess not
that she might even vet herself
of the hand if not 'the heart of the
widower l»..t for this girl ill whom he
was so wrapped up.
Mrs. Prynne disliked Cleopatra, as
formal women do often dislike gay and
charming girls. She knew that Cleo
patra had uo love for her—that she
wo<dd rebel against the Wen of a step
mother ; and now she craftily set her

evil . , t " li>s she whispered alwut
many the warnings she gave.
“He’s after your money,” said siie.
“That is the secret of his admiration
for Miss Patra.” •
And it wa3 out of ,„ ve for his
daughter, evii, uml to guard her against a
great that the ok! man at hist for
bade tier to streak again to Henry Bush,
With a girl like Cleopatra this was
enough.
It was not long before she eloped
with ber lover and married him.
Mr. Alexander was furious. In. his
rage be Said many terrible things,
Among others that his daughter should
never again darken his doors. Then he
was taken ill with a violent fit ,.t the
gout, and was a prisoner in Ins room.
It was the hour of Mrs. Pry.me’s
triumph, for when some days after,
jienitent and tearful, Patra came to the
door, longing for ip-r beloved father’s
forgiveness, and, indeed, making quite
sure of it, after all that had passed aud
gone. Mrs. Prynne drove her away.
“Your father is very sick, Pnlra.”

“It’s a present for. Mr. Alexander,”
cried the tallest young man, carefully
holding bis cud of the brilliant roll—a

"Well it looks handsome, though
fuzzy,” said the housekeeper. “I’ll tell
him. Who shall I say it’s from?”
“We are to give it to him himself, if
you from please,” said the young man ; "and
it’s the Shall of Persia. ’
“Lor’!.” cried Mrs. Prynne. “The

Alexander is always treated mighty

“The wlmt ? Who ? Good Lord, she’s

Help, somebody!” .
But at this moment the two young
men appeared upon tlie scene, and laid
upon the floor, very gently and softly, a
roll of Persian carpet,, bowed low, and
said, solemnly. “With the Slum's re
