The boarders were al. inclined to be cross on Monday mornings—that was perhaps in sepai able from the weakness of humanity. The washboiler was big, afid the siove was little— iha' was perhaps the reason that ttie coffee was cold and the chops undone. The one servant wa„ overworked—that was perhaps ihe reaso.i that so manj extra toils upon Mrs. Moody’s s!enlci shoulders of a Monday. But when die breakfast, with its end less criticisms aud perpetual faul tliidirigs, had come to an en.t, Mrs. Moody carried a little tray into Major Pick’s room. The major was a little lame aud a good deal hypochondriacal, and always breakfasted in his own room. He was particular, and cousequtQtly occupied the best room in the house. The major was a tall,fin cloaking man, with an i m poping piesencc a good deal of bald forehead, and a great aptitude at Scripture quo la'ions, and all the neighbors said what a comfort it must be to Mrs. Moouy to have such a board er They did uni know that the ma jor was r sort of distant cot sin of the deceased Mr Moo iy, and did not consider it necessary to pay bis board very regularly on that account. But he gave her a good deal ol exeel’eut advice, and was always ready to tell hev when there was anyihing wrong about the fable. “Bo kind of him to take such an ioteres. in m !’’ said the little wid ow, fervently. ibe major had orusbed tlie two wbisps of hair crosswise over the peak of bis bald bead this morn ing, cologne 1 bis pocket hundker chief, and trimmed his filbert-shap ed finger nails to perfection, and be was waiting in the big easy chair for bis breakfast full five iniiHites before it arrived. “You’re late this morning, Mrs. Moody,” he observed, reproachful ly. “I ..m a little late,” apologefical ly confessed Mrs. Moody. “Bui Sarah .Jaue was behindhand. There’s a regular Scotch mist in the air and the kicben chimney would not draw. Try a new boil ed egg, major. And the rasher of bacon is good, I know, for I cook ed it myself.” “Humph! humph!” said the ma jor. “You ough to be a little par ficulur with youi braukfasts, Mrs. Moody. Aiey are the initial meal of the day you know. This coffee is not us good as usual. It isu’t real Java, Mrs. Moody, it tastes like Maracaibo.” ‘I paid Java price for it,” said Mrs. Moody, meekly; “and the groeer warranted it.” ‘ You can never depend upon what these tradespeople say,’ grunted die major, with his mouth full of <gg and bacon. “By-the way, ir it possible, Mr* Moody, shat you have taken that opera man in*o your third-story hall bed-room ? I heard it, but I couldn’t tiling any mind lo believe it.” “lie isn’t a singer, major,’plead ed the trembling Mrs. Moody, “Lnd he doesn’t play the llute or the cornet.

Mrs. Moody, you've no business lakiDg poor boarders.” “Tea, / know it, major, but be has just been sick, and tie looks so pale and wretched " ‘ Thf re it is again! ’cried Major Peck. A woman is so easily taken in. I tell you, Mrti Moody, the man it an impostor, and so you’ll find it ’’ “Dear dear!" said Mrs. Moody, the startled lears coming into her faded blue eyes. “And if you will uo 1 take my advice," said the major, waxing momentarily more irritable, “you must expect to abide the conie quencas. This toast is charred— absolutely burned -to a crisp Take ii away, Mrs. Moody—do take it away! My breakfast, is spoiled!’’ “But what am I to do about the new boarder?’ said Mrs Moody, despairingly “Do!” shouied the major, “Turn him oui of doors! That’s the only thing to do. Take away this toast, I say! It’s a perfect, outrage on civilization!" To Mrs. Moony the major’s di r turn was beyond appeal; and after she had had her usual morning al terea.icn with the butcher, she crept timidly up to the thud-story ball bedroom to interview the musical man. Mr. Morion was writing on the corner of his wash-eianf, with the his shabby great-coat on, and a pocket handkerchief tied nruund his neck. His pale, grave count enance softened the landlady's hear, at, once, as he coutteously, rose up and bowed. “You have come for the week’a board in advance,' said he. “Par don me, hut out manager never pays until Saturday eight. It in not pleasant iq confess one’s pov - erty, tint ” “Oh. never mind.” said Mis. Moody, all in a flutter. ’I 1 only came to see if there was plen ty of fresh towels. And if you find it cold writing lure, sir, l'\u sure your’e very welcome to bring your work down to the parlor, where there is a good fire.” Mr. Morion smiled and bow. ed. ‘•Yes,’’ he admitted, “it is cold without a fire, in November, and 1 pftnno* afford the ex'ra expense of coal at present.” (He glanced, at his blue fingers and shivered a little.) “If it is not too great a liberty. I will avail myself of your kind offer.” And A/rs. Moody felt compare tive[y happy when she saw the mubical man dilligently writing, ai her south window, in die soft at mosphere of the glowing antlira - cite. Bui Mis. Racquet aud her daugli ttr.Jthe gtnteelsst boarders in the house look vehement exceptions o l liia Dew plan. “I’m not particular, said the former, with a toss of her head ; “Bui this is really a little 100 much ! A man who plays in t lie orchestra of a third rate thea tre !” “But he is very r m’am, I assure you,” said Mrs. Moody, aegrly “How am I to know that?" said Mrs. Raceqret taitly, “I declare, I was moritiedto dea'h when Mrs. Lawyer Leakington came to call and f mnd him per ched up in the corner ! And Me lissa and I thali find it nescessary tc change our bourding house* if this sort thing is to continue.” “Mr. Morton is gentleman !, said Mrs. Moody, roused in into lempotry spirit. He has an equal right with yourself in the parlor !” Mrs. Racquet and Miss Mets-u gave warning at once. Mrs. Moody did not care. Miss Jenkins, the district set o ill <btell er, turned up her nose and left the house. ‘•She wasn’t over critical,'' she st.id ; “but there were somethings which do one could stand !” One by one the boarders drop ped away, and Major Peck grew indignant. “Mrs M'tody,’ he said, “I won der a! von after all my advice and • t council !" “You wouldn't me trim this poor,man out of doora now ot all times, when he’s ill with malaria ' fever ?" said the wid ow. “Yes 1 ttjpuld said the major stoutly. • * Bui, for Time, shv disregarded his advice The musical man was indeed— so ill that ht? would undoulvedly have died, without his landia ly’s n«fWng aud unremited afteptron..

Sweet heart, the flower which blooms ut noontide may surely be as sweet as the morning violet!” They were si ill talking thus when Mrs. caught sight of a letter on ihe table. “Oh, I forgot!’’ she cried. “The postman ! And if was a lettter for you, Paul, A foreign letter.” ■A foreign letter, eh f That is . something which does not often greet my eyes,” said he. “And it has a black seal too.” He broke i* open and read it, while unoueious Mrs. Moody trim med the dead blooms off her bya cinth plant with a daiuiy pair of scissors. ‘•Mollie,” he said, snddedly, “read this Henceforward I have no secrets from you.” it was simple enough and ye how marvelous ! An accident in a Swiss railway train an apopletic fit carrying off a rich banker in Loudon, and the two lives which intervened bei ween Paul Morton and a fortune had been re moved, almost the same day. The musical man, disinherited bj his family, because of his devo tion to art —jeered by his reia becaiise he reolutly remained true vo music—was rich at last. Mrs Moody grew pale. “You—you won’t care ,for me now,” sue said. “Oh, Paul I am sorry, and yet I ought to be glaJ.” “On she eontrary,”ibe said ten derly ; “I care for you moretnan ever. My jewel! lan place you iu a fit setting at last." Of course all this made a great seiisalton in Redr tone street There tveib plenty to declare that that ihey had known all along Paul Morton was burn aristocrat There were plenty to assert that Mis Moody was a scheming plot ter. But neither of the pur car ed a straw what people said. Mrs Moody sold out the lease and good will of tl e estaolisliuteut in Redstone street, and went to En gland with her husband, the hap piest of forty year old brides. While Major Peck polished his eye glasses with the corner of a silk hanket’chief. aud mtmuered ■ boughtfully : “No one will ever suit mo with an omelette as Mrs. Moody did.
