CALDER'S OLD S TAND. i The day succeeding Katy Len- nox's return to Silver'ton-was rainy and cold for the season, the storm extinriing as far westward as the city of New York, and making Wil- 1‘ord Cameron shiver as he stepped [mm the Hudson River cars into the carriage waiting for him, Iirst ’ greeting pleasantly the white-gloved driver, who closing the carriage door, mounted to his seat and drove his handsome bays in the direction of . No.â€"-â€" Fifth Avenue. And Wilford, Ileaning back among the cushions, -. thought how pleasant it was to be 1' home again, ieeling glad, as he fre- i quently did, that the home was in every particular unexceptionable. The Camerons, he knew, were an old and highly respectable family, while . it was his mother’s pride that, go back as far as one might, on either 3 side there could not be found a single , blemish, or a member of whom to be ‘ ashamed. On the Cameron side there were millionaires, merchant princes, ' bankers, and stockholders, professors: and scholars, while on hers, the Ros- siter side, there were LL.1).'s and D.

(lay in Wall home in time had every advantage which Silver- ton could aflord. Great pains had been given to her style 0! playing while in Canaddaigua, so that as a rformer on the piano she had few vals in the Seminary. while her bind-like voice filled every nook and corner of the room, when. on the night after her visit to Mrs. Wood- hull. a select exhibition was held, Katy shinging as .the one bright star. and winning golden laurel: for beau- ty, grace, and perfect self-possession, from other: than Wilford Cameron. Who In one 0! the inVited auditors. Juno banal! could not play like taste for which had been developed very early, and fostered by Morris Grant, who had seen that his cousin I! there was any one thing in which Katy excelled, it was music, both vocal and instrumental , a Mrs. Woodhull saw that he was in- terested. It was time he settled in life. With the exception of wealth and family position. he could not find a better wife than Katy, and she would do what she could to bring the marriage about. Accordingly, having first gained the preceptress’s consent, Katy was taken home with her to dinner. And this was how Wilford Cameron came to know little Katy Lennox, the simple-hearted child, who blushed so prettily when first presented to him, and blushed again when he praised her recita- tions, but who afta' that forgot the difference in their social relations, laughing and chatting as merrily in his presence as if she had been alone with Mrs. Woodhull. This was the great charm to Wilford. Katy was so wholly unconscious of herself or what he might think of her that he could not sit in judgment upon her. and he watched her eagerly as she sported and dashed. and sparkled, filling the room with sunshine, and putting to rout the entire regiment of blues which had been for months harassing the city-bred young man. save Kitty acquiring herself with a good deal of credit as she worked out a rather difficult problem. her dimpled white hund showing to good advantage against the deep black of the board; and then her voice, smt- toned and silvery, as a lady's vo' ‘ should be, thrilled in Wilford’s ew. awaking a. strange feeling of dis- quiet, as if the world would never again be quite the same to him that it was before he met that fair young girl now passing from the room. An. old acuuuintunce of Mrs. Ilen- nox when she lived in Fast Bloom- iiel-d, Mrs. Woodhull had potted Katy from the first day of her arrival in Cananduigua with a letter of intro- duction to herself from the ambitious mother, and being rather inclined to matchmaking, she had Katy in ' her mind when she urged Wilford to ac- company her to the Seminary. Ac- (-ordingly she answered him at once: "That is Katy Lennnx, daughter of Judge Lennox, who died in Fast Bloomfield a few years ago. Pretty, is she not?" Wilford did not answer her. He had neither eye nor ear for anything a childless, fashionable woman, who patronized Canandaigua generally and Katy Lennox in particularly, he consented, and soon found himself in the crowded room, the cynosure of many eyes as the whisper ran round chat the fine-looking man with Mrs. Woodhull was Wilford Cameron, from New York, brother to the proud, dashing Juno Cameron, who once spent a few weeks in town. Wilford knew they were talking about him, but he did not care. anti assuming as easy an attitude as possible, he leaned back in his chair, yawnt‘d in- dolently until the class in Algebra. was éalled, and Katy Lennox came tripping on the stage, a pale biue ribbon in her goltltn hair, and her simple dress of white relieved by no ornament except the cluster of wild flowers fastened in her belt and at her throat. But Katy needtd no orna- ments to make. her more beautiful than she was at. the moment. when with glowing cheeks and sparkling: eyes, she first burst upon \Vilford's vision, a creature of rare, ilf_‘\\'llt'illllg beauty, such as he had neVer dream- ed about. “Who is she?" he asked of Mrs. Woodhull, 1nd that, lady knew at once whom he meant, even though he had not designated her. Wilford had met his destiny. and Im. felt it. in every throh of blood which went rushing through his veins. fessnon, had looked at more than twenty girls, with the view of mak- ing them his wife. and found them, as he believed, alike fickle, selfish, artificial and hollow-hearted. In short, while thinking far more of family, and accomplishments, and style, than he ought, he was yet. heartily tired of the butterflies who liltted so constantly around him, ofâ€" fering to be caught it he would but stretch out his hand to catch them. This he would not do, and disgusted with the world as he saw it in New York, he had gone to the Far West, roaming awhile amid the solâ€" itude of the broad prairies. and find- ing there much that was soothing to him, but not discovering the fulfill- ment of the great want he was crav- ing until coming back to Canandaig- ua, he met with Katy Lennox. He had smiled wearily when asked by Mrs. Woodhull to go with her to the examination then in progress at the Seminary. There was nothing there to interest him, he thought, as Eu~ clid and Algebra, French and Rhetor- ic were bygone things, while young school-misses, in braided hair and pantalettes, were shockingly insipid. Still, to be polite to Mrs. Woodhull, MARY J. HOLMES. BY "No, I do not marry “to family," Wilford rejoined emphatically, but the expression of his face was diner- ent from his mother'n, for whore she thomflu onlv of herself. Jot hesitat- v" râ€"-"â€""â€". “I understand, then, that if you marry her you do not marry the family," and in the handsome mat, ronly {one there was an expression from which Katy would have shrunk, could she have seen it and under- stood its meaninz. \ It was a most delightful trip, and Wilford was better satisfied with him- self than he had ever been before in years. His past life was not all free from error, and there were many sad memories haunting him, but with Katy at his side, seeing what he saw. admiring what he admired, and doing what he bade her do, he gave the bygones to wind, feeling only an intense desire to clasp the girl I in his arms, and bear her away to some. spot where with her pure, fresh life all his own, he could begin the world anew, and retrieve the past. which he lost. This was when he was with Katy Away from her he could remember the difference in their position, and prudential motives be- gan to make themselves heard. Nev- er but once had he taken an im- portant step without consulting his mother, and the trouble in whi«h that had involved him. warned him to be more cautious another time, And this was why Katy came back to Silverton unenzaged, leaving her heart with Wilfold Cameron. who would first seek advice with his mother ere committing“ himself by Word. He had seen the white-hairei; man Waiting for her when the train! stopped at Silverton. but stanzlinrji there as he did, with his sil\‘el'_\'l locks parted in the centre. and shad-I ing his honest, open face. l'n-xle' Ephraim looked like some patriarch of old, rather than a man to be de- spised, and Wilford felt only respect for him until he saw Katy’s arms wound so lovingly around his neck as she called him I’ncle Eph.‘ 'l‘hat sight grated harshly, and Wilford felt glad that he was not hound to her by any pledge. Very curiously he looked after the couple, witnessing; f the meeting of Katy and old Whitey. and guessing rightly that. the corn- colored vehicle was the one sent to transport Katy home. He was very moody for the remainder of the route. between Silverton and Albany. when; he parted with his Cauandaigua friends they going; on to the westwa‘ d while he stopped all night in Albany, where he had some business to trans- act for his father. Wilford thought of Uncle Ephraim as he had seen him upon the plat- form at Silverton, and could scarce- ly repress a smile as he pictured to himsel! his mother’s consternation at beholding that man in her drawing room. But he did not mention the deacon, though he acknowledged that Katy's family friends were not exact- ly the Cameron style. But Katy was young: Katy could be easily moulded, and once away from her old associates his mother and sisters could make of her what they pleased. In Wilford’s voice there was 8. tom- warning the mother that Opposition would only feed the flame, and m she offered none directly hm heard him patiently to the end, and then quietly questioned him of Katy and her Iamily, especially the last. What did he know of it? Was it one to de- tract from the Cameron line. kept untamished so long? Were the rela- tives such as he never need blush m . He admitted that. she was poor and unaccustomed to society, but hU loved her more than words could ex- press. “Yes, mother, it was,” and \\ith~ any reservation Wilford fmnkly tolt the story of his interest in Kutv Lon- nox. “Not as I loved Gencvra," he said, and there came a look of intense pain into his eyes. The mother did not knoxv-vâ€"unl059â€" and a strange light gleamed in hm- eye, as She asked if it Were sonn- girl. er everything, except, that he pui- Katy's bills.

Mrs. Woodhull had never been to 811- verton, and so she did not know of Uncle Ephraim and his old-fashioned sister; but she knew they Were poor, that some relation sent Katy to school; and she frankly told Wilford so, adding as she detected the sha- dow on his face, that one could not expect everything, and that a girl like Katy was not to. be found ev- ery day. Wilford admitted all that, growing more and more infatuated, until at last, he consented to join the traveling party provided Katy joined it too, and when on the morn- ing of their departure for the Falls be seated himself beside her in the car, he could not well have been hap- pier, unless she had really been his wife, and he so much wished she up. -- - , thought, wondering if Canan-daigua were the best place for her, and if she would consent to receive a year or two years’ tuition from him, pro- vided her family were poor.

The parlor must remain as it was, Katy said, and Aunt Betsy went on with her scour- ing, while Helen and Katy consulted together how to make the huge feather-bed more like the mattresses to which Wilford must be accustom- ed. Helen’s mind being the more suggestive, solved the problem first, and a large comfortable was brought from' the box in the garret and fold- ed carefully over the bed, which. thus hardened and flattened, “seemed like a. mattress."

What, will he think unlik».3 hm)?" Katy had waited very anxiously for a letter from Wilford, and as the weeks went by and nothing came, a shadow had fallen upon her spirits and the family missed something from her ringing laugh and frolic- some ways, while she herself wonder- ed at the change which had come over everything. Even the light household duties she used to enjoy so much, were irk'some to her, and she enjoyed nothing except going with Uncle Ephraim into the fields where she could sit alone while he worked near by, or to ride with Morris as she sometimes did when he made. his round of calls. She was not as good as she used to be, she thought, and with a view of making herself better she took. to teaching in Morris and Helen's Sunday School, greatly to the distress of Aunt Betsy, who groaned bitterly when both her nieces adopted the “ Episcopal quirks,” forsaking entirely the housc where. Sunday after Sunday, her old- fashioned leghorn, with fiided ribbon of green was seen, bending down in the humble worship which God so much approves. But teaching in Sunday School, taken by itself, could not make Katy better, and the old rest- lessness remained until the morning when, sitting on the grass beneath‘ the apple-tree, she read that Wilford Cameron was coming: then every- thing was changed and Katy never forgot the brightness of that day when the robins sang so merrily above her head, and all nature seem- ed to sympathize with her jov. There was no shadow around her now, no- thing but hopeful sunshine, and with a bounding step she sought out Hel- en to tell her the good news. Hel- en's first. remark, however, was a chill upon her spirits. U‘Iul‘o r- “Let matters take their course for a while," she said, “and see how you feel after a little. We are going to Newport the first of August, and per- haps you may find somebody there infinitely superior to this Katy Len- nox. 'That's your father’s ring. Be is earlier than usual to-night. I would not tell him yet, till you are more decided," and the lady went hastily out into the hall to meet her husband. A moment more and the elder Cam- eron appearedâ€"a short, Square-built man, with a face seamed with lines of care and eyes much like Wilford's, save that the shaggy eyebrows gave them a different expression. He was very glad to see his son, though he merely shook his hand, asking what nonsense took him off around the Lakes with Mrs. Woodhull, and won- dering it women were never happy unless they were chasing after fa- shion. The elder Cameron was evi- dently not of his wife's way of think- ing, but she let him go on until he was through, and then, with the most unruflled mien, suggested that his dinner would be cold. He was accustomed to that and so he did not mind, but he hurried through his lonely meal to-night, for Wilford was home, and the father was always happier when he knew his son was in the house. "Cl 5 “I should not do either," was Mrs. Cameron’s reply, for she knew that trying to forget her was the surest way of keeping her in mind, and she dared not confess to him how deter- mined she was that Katy Lennox should never be her daughter if she could prevent it . - [___ 11qu “I!“ o-uvâ€"â€"»â€", n... _ ed Katy, thinking how he would make amends for separating her wholly {tom her home as he surely meant to do i! he should win her. “Dld I tell you," he continued. “that her father was a judge?

"What is it. Katy?" Morris asld‘do as he saw how she hesitated. and fluted her errand was not all told. Morris could not see the sunshine upon the distant hills, although ll lay there just as purple and Warm as it had a moment before. There was an instant of darkness. in which the hills, the pond, the sun setting. and Katy seemed a great way ofi to Morris. trying so hard to be calm; and mentally asking for help in do I0. But Katy’s hat, which she swung in her hand, had become un- tangled in‘ the Vines encircling: one of the pillars of the piazza, and so she did not notice him until all traces of his agitation were past. and he could talk with her router!)- in; Wilford; then playfully lifting her basket he asked what she hm! c cue to get. There was but little chance for Aunt Betsy to be detected, for Hel- en, supposing the room to be in or- der, had dismissed it from her mind, and was training a rose over . frame, wh-ile Katy was on her way to Linwood in quest of various little things which Mrs. Lennox considered indispensable to the entertainment of a man like Wilford Cameron. Mom. was out on his piazza, enjoying the fine prospect he had of the sun shin. ing- across the pond, on the Silva. ton hill, and just gilding the top of the little church nestled in the v.1. ley. At sight of Katy he rose and greeted her with the kind, brotherly manner now habitual with him, for he had learned to listen quite calmly while Katy talked to him, as she of- ten did, of Wilford Cameron. never trying to conceal from him how an- xious she was for some word of re- membrance, and often asking if he thonght Mr. Cameron would ever write to her. It was hard at first for Morris to listen, and harder still to keep back the passionate “‘(n‘dS. of love trembling on his lipsâ€"to refrain from asking her to take him in (‘am- eron's steadâ€"him who had lowd her so long. But Morris kept silence. and as the weeks went by there came insensibly into his heart a hope, or rather conViction, that Wilford Cam- eron had forgotten the little girl who might in time turn to him. gladdening his home just as she did every spot where her fairy footsteps trod. Morris did not fully know that he was hugging this fond dream until he felt the keen pang which cut like a disseCtor's knife as Katy. turn- ing her bright, eager face. up to him whispered softly: “He's coming to- morrow-he surely is; I have his let- ter to tell me so." “I'm mighty feared they'll find me out," she said, taking great. pains in the making of her bed, and succeed. ing so well that when her task Was done there was no perceptible dine. ence between Helen's bed and her on except that the latter was a few inches higher than the former, and more nearly resembled a pincushion in shape. “What have them â€"children b“ doin' to that bed?
