Katy felt afraid of lit-ll, and in fatt. now that they were so near. she felt afraid of them all, nonvithstand- ing Esther's assurantes that they could not help loving her. liming the six months they had been togethâ€" e: Esther had learned to feel for her her voting lady that strong affection which sometimes exists between mis- tress and servant. Everything which she could do for her she did, smoothâ€" ing as much as possible the meeting which she also dreaded, for thongh the Camerons were too proud to ex- press before her their opinion of Wil- ford's choice, she had guessed it readily and pitied the young wife brought up with ideas so diflerent from those of her husband’s family. More accustomed to Wilford’s moods than Katy, she saw something was the matter, and it prompted her to unusual attentions, stirring the fire into a cheerful blaze and bringing a stool for Katy, who. in blissful ig- norance of her husband's real feel- ings, sat waiting his return from the telegraph office whither she supposed he had gone, and building pleasant pictures of to-morrow's meeting with her mother and Helen, and possibly Dr. Morris, if not Uncle Ephraim himself. "Which do you like best, books or going to parties in full dress?" “You will like Juno best, for she is all fashion and guyety, while Blue-Bell prefvrs her books and the quiet. of her own room.” or Rome. To be sure there was about her a little more maturity and self-assurance, but in all essential points she was the same, and Wil- lord winced as he thought how the free, inpulsive manner which, among the Scottish hills, where there was no one to criticize, had been so charming to him, would shock his lady mother and sister Juno. And this it was which made him moody and silent, replying hastily to Katy when she said to him: “Please, Wil- ford. telegraph to Helen to be with mother at the West depot when we pass there to-morrow. The train stops five minutes, you know, and I want to see them so much. Will you, “'ilfln'd‘."' And Wilford had answered her by asking: "()h. parties and dress,” Katy had saiq: and Wilford had then rejoined: A moment after he quitted the room, and it was then that Katy, standing before the window, charged thv day with what “'ilb‘ .stsictly Mil- !ord's ."uult. Returnmg at last to her chair she went otl' mm a reverie So absorbed was she in her reverie as not to hear Wilford's step as he came in, but when he stood behind her and took her head playfully be- tween his hands, she started up, feelâ€" ing that the weather had changed; it was not as cold and dreary in Bos- ton as she imagined, and laying her head “You went out to telegraph, didn’ you?” as to the new home to which also: was going and the new friends she was to meet. wondering What they would think of her and if they would like hu'. Once she had said to Wil- ford: "Which of your sisters shall 1 like best?” He had gone out with the intention of telegraphing as she desired, but in the hail below he had met with an old acquaintance who talked with him so long that he entirely forgot his errand until Katy recane'd it to his mind, making him feel very. un- Cnggrtable a: he frankly told her He, too, though glad of his fa- ther's improvement, was sorry to have been recalled for nothing to a country which brought his old life back again, with all its forms and ceremonies, and revived his dread lest Katy should not acquit herself as was becoming Mrs. Wilford Cameron. In his selfishness he had kept her al- most wholly to himself, so that her polish she was to acquire from her travels abroad was not as percept- ible as he could desire. Katy was Katy still, in spite of London, Paris, Somehow the atmosphere of Ameri- ca seemed different from what it us- ed to be. It was colder, bluer, the little lady said, tapping her foot un- easily and looking from her windows at the Revere out upon the snowy streets, throngh which the wintry wind was blowing in heavy gules. “Yes, it is a heap colder,” she sighed, as she returned to the large chair which Esther had drawn for her before the cheerful fire, charging her disquiet to the weather, but nev- er dreaming of imputing it to her husband, who was far more its cause than was the December cold. “We might have staid longer in Europe,” Katy said, feeling a little chill of disappointmentâ€"not that her father-in-law was better, but, at be- ing called home for nothing, when her life abroad was so happy and free from care. alter hrs arriVaI at 'Rome there came a letter from his mother apprising him of his father’s dangerous illness and asking him to come home at once. The elder Cameron had not been well since Wilford left the coun- try, and the physician was fearful that the disease had assumed a con- sumptive form, Mrs. Cameron wrote, adding that her husband’s only anxi- ety was to see his son again. To this there was no demur, and about the first of December, six months from the time he had sailed, Wilford arrived in Boston, having taken' a steamer for that city. His first act was to telegraph for news of his fa- ther, receiving in reply that he was better; the alarming symptoms had disappeared, and there was now great, hope of his recovery. Wilford’s shoulder,‘ she And this was trueâ€"he was unusu- ally busy. But that was not the cause of his thin face, which others than Katy remarked. Helen’s words, “It might have been," spoken to him on the night of Katy’s bridal, had never left his mind, much as he had tried to dislodge them. Some men can love a dozen times; but it was not so with Morris. He could over- come his love so that it should not be a sin, but no other comd ever “.1 the place where Katy had been; and as he looked along the road through life he felt that he must travel it alone. Truly. if Katy \"v v nut ym. passing through the fire, he was, and it had left its mark upon him, puri- fying as it burned, and bringing his e~ery act into closer submission to his God. Only Helen and Marian Hazelton interpreted aright that look upon his face, and knew it came from the hunger of his heart, but they kept silence; while others said that he was working far too hard, urging him to abate his unwearied labors. for they would not lose their young “No, not. sick, thongh tired, per- haps, as I have at present on unusu- al amount of work to do." But when at last they came to West Silverton. and the long train slowly stopped, the first object she saw was Dr. Morris, driving down from the village. He had no inten- tion of going to the depot, and only checked his horse a moment, lest it should prove restive if too near the engine; but when a clear young voice called from the window: “ Morris! oh, Cousin Morris! I’ve come!" his heart gave,a great throb, for he knew whose Voice it. was and whose the little hand beckoning to him. He had supposed her far away beneath Italian skies, for at the farm-house no intelligence had been received of her intended return, and in much sur- prise he reined up to the rear door, and throwing his lines to a boy, went forward to where, Katy stood. her face g10wing__wit_h delight as she flew into his arms, wholly forgetful of the last night's lecture on dignity, and also forgetful of Wilford, stand- ing close beside her. lie had not tried to hold her back when, at the sight of Morris, she sprang away from him; but he followed after bit- ing his lip, and wishing she had a little more discretion. Surely it was not necessary to half strangle Dr. Grant as she was doing, kissing his hand after she had kissed his face a full half dozen times, and all the people looking on. But Katy did not care for people. She only knew that Morris was thereâ€"the Morris whom, in her great happiness abroad, she had perhaps slighted by not writing directly to him but once. In .Wil- ford's sheltering care she had not felt the'need of this good cousin, as she used to do; but she was so glad to see him, wondering why he looked so thin and sad. Was he sick? she ask- ed, with a pitying look, which made him shiver as he answered: "Only three miles from mother and Helen! ()h, if I could go there 1" Katy thonght, working her fingers nervously; but the express train did not pause there, and it went so swift- ly by the depot that Katy could hardly distinguish who was standing there, whether friend or stranger. Katy’s tears were stopped at last; but the frightened, anxious look' did not leave her face, even though Wil- ford tried his best to divert her mind. A new. ous terror of her new relations had gained possession of her heart, and nearly, the entire night she lay awake, pondering in her mind What Wilford had said, and thinking how terrible it would be if he should be disappointed in her after all. The consequence of this was that a very white tired face sat opposite Wilford next morning at the breakfast served in their private parlor; nor did it look much fresher even after they were in the cars and rolling out of Boston. But when Worcester was reached, and'the old home Way-marks began to grow familiar, the color came stealing back, until the cheeks burned with an unnatural red, and the blue eyes fairly danced as they rested on the hills of Silverton. Katy knew it was settled, and choking back the tears, she tried to listen, while Wilford, having fairly broken the ice with regard to his family. told her how anxious he was that she should make a good first impression upon his mother. Did Katy remember that Mrs. Morey whom they met at Paris, and 'could she not throw a little of her air in- to her manner, that is, could she not drop her girlishness when in the presence of others and be a little more dignified? When alone with him he liked to have her just What she was, a loving, affectionate little wife, but the world looked on such things differently. Would Katy try? Wilford when he commenced had no definite idea. as to what he should say, and without meaning it he .made Katy moan piteously. “I. don't know 'What you mean. I would do anything if I knew how. Tell me, how shall I be dignified?" She was crying so hard that Wil- ford, while mentally calling himself a fool and a brute, could only try to comfort her, telling her she need not be anything but what she wasâ€"â€" that his motlter and sisters would love her just as he (lidâ€"and that daily association with them would teach her all that was necessary. ' “It is too Iate now," he added; “besides you could only see them for a moment, just long enough to make you cryâ€"a. thing I do not greatly de- sire. inasmuch as I wish my Wife to look her best, when I present her to my family, and with red eyes she couldn’t you know." or his forgetrymess MARY J. HOLMES, BY - - ~vrr~u a flame of light seemed suddenly to burst from every window as the gas heads were turned up, so that Katy caught glimpses of rich silken cur- tains and costly lace as she went up ‘LA “--‘- ‘ the steps. clinging to Wilford and looking ruefully around for Esther, who had disappeared through the bagement door. Another moment With a great efiort Katy kept her tears back, and was very calm when they reached the brown-stone front, far enough up town to save it from the slightest approach to plebeian- ism.

It seemed so like a dream, that she, who once had picked huck- leberries on the Silverton hills, and bound coarse heavy shoes to buy her- self a. pink gingham dress, should now be riding in her carriage to- ward the home which she knew was magnificent; and Katy's tears fell like rain as, nestling close to Wil- ford, who askcd what was the mat- ter, she whispered. “I can hardly be- liev_e_that it is lâ€"-it is ad unreal." lease don't. cry," Wilford réjoin- ed, brushing her tears away. “You know I don't like your eyes to be “I don’tâ€"know.

But that could not now be helped. Wilford had arriVed in Bos- son, as his telegram of yesterday an- nounced-â€"he would be at home to- day; and No.â€" Fifth Avenue was all the morning and a portion of the. afternoon the. scene of unusual ex¢ ite- ment, for both Mrs. Cameron and her daughters wished to gi‘e the :13: months wife a good impmssion of her new home. At first they thought of inviting company to dinner. but to this the father objected. “ Katy should not he trou- bncd the first day," he Said; ”n. is: bad onouzh (or her to meet thnm all; they could ask Mark 11 Hwy chose, but no any else." “l am so glad I saw himâ€"so glad I sent the ring, for now they will know I am the. same Katy Lennox, and I think llelen sometimes feared I might get proud with you,” she said, while Wilford pulled her iich fur around her, smiling to see how bright and pretty she was lookingr since that meeting with Dr. Grant. “It was better than medicine," Katy said, when beyond Springfield he re- ferred to it a second time, and lean- ing her head upon his shoulder she fell into a refreshing sleep, from which she did not waken until New York was reached, and Wilford, lift- ing her gently up, whispered: “Come, darling, we are home at last.” U'IJ ' Quick to note a change in those he knew, he saw that her form was not quite so full, nor her cheeks so round; but she was weary with the voyage, and knowing how sea-sick- ness will wear upon one’s strength, Morris imputed it wholly to that, and belieVed she was, as she profess- ed to be, perfectly happy. “Come, Katy, we must go now,” Wilford said, as the bell rang its first alarm, and the passengers. some with sandwiches and some with fried cakes in their hands, ran back to find their seats. pnysmn- yet‘. “Dat- Norris smiled his patient, kindly smile on all their fears and went his way, doing his work as one who knew he must ren- der strict account for the popularity he was daily gaining, both in his own town and those around. He could think of Katy now without a sin, but he was not thinking of her when she came so unexpectedly upon him, and for an instant she ulmosL bore his breath away in her vehement joy- 5‘ “Yes, I know, but I have not ask- ed half I meant to. Oh, how I Want to go home with you, Morris," Katy exclaimed, again throwing her arms around the doctor’s neck as she bade him good-bye, and sent fresh mes- sages of love to the friends at home, who, had they known she was to be there at that time, would have walk- ed the entire distance for the sake of looking once more into her dear In her excitement Katy did not ob- .s‘erve it, but Morris did, and he at first declined taking it, saying Ilclen had no use for it, and would be bet- ter pleased with smnething not half as valuable. Katy, however, insist- ed, appealing to Wilford, who, ash- amed of his first emotion, now seem- ed quite as anxious as Katy herself, until Morris placed the ring in his purse, and then bade Katy hasten or she would certainly be left. ()ne \VuVe of the hand, one more kiss thrown from the window, and the train moved on, Katy feeling like a different creature for having seen some one from home. “I intended to have brought them heaps of things,” she said, “but We came home so suddenly I had no time. Here, take. Ilelen this. Tell her it is real,” and the impulsive creature, drew from her linger a small diamond set in black' enamel, which Wilford had bought in Paris. "She did not. need it; she had two more, and she was sure Wilford would not mind,” she said, turning to him for his approbation. But Wilford did mind, and his face indicated as much, although he tried to be. natural as he replied: “Cer- tainly, send it if you like.” 'uco CHAPTER XIII. , " Vâ€"vâ€"nu- vv know just what thvey segarded proper, as by this means ,the dress selected - _.7._._.

Fortunately for Katy, Esther had been in the_fo.mi_ly long enough to I-.._â€" 147 l "Wear your traveling habitt" she exclaimed, “when the young ladies. especially Miss Juno, are so particu- lar about their dinner costume. There would be no end to the scolding I should get {or suflering it,” and she began good-naturedly to remove her mistress’s collar and pin, while Ka- ty, standing up, sighed as she snid, “I wish I was at Silver-ton toâ€"night. ‘l "()h,ho\v pleasantTho-w beautiful!" she cried, skipping across th soft carpet to the warm fire blazing in be happy here. ' ’ But happy as she was, Katy could not help feeling tired, and she sunk into one of the luxurious easy-chairs. wishing she could stay there all the evening instead of going down to that formidable dinner with her new relations. How she dreaded lt, es- pecially when she remembered that Mrs. Cameron had said there “ould be plenty of time to dressâ€"a thing which Katy hated, the process was so tiresome, particularly to-night. Surely her handsome traveling dress, madegin Paris, was good enough, and she was about settling in her run mind to venture on wearing it, \\ hen Esther demolished her castle at once. Meanwhile Katy had been ushered into her room, which was directly over the library, and separated from Mrs. Cameron's only by a range of closets and presses. a portion of which were to be appropriated to her own use. Great pains had been taken to make her rooms attractive, and as the large bay window in the library below extended to the third story, it was really the pleasantcst chamber in the house.

Juno elevated her eyebrows slight.- ly, but made no direct reply, while Bell began to ask about Paris and the places he had visited. “I assure you I am not disappoint- ed." he answered. “and the six months of my married life have been the happiest I ever knew. Katy is more than I expected her to be." Wilford was rather proud of his good looks, and during his sojourn abroad, Katy had not helped him any in overcoming this weakness, but on the contrary had fed his vanity by constant flattery. And still he was himself conscious of not. looking quite as well as usual just now, for the sea voyage had tired him as well as Katy, but he did not care to be told of it, and Juno's maimed remarks roused him at once. particularly as they reflected somewhat on Katy. “I wish we could say the same of you," Juno answered, playfully pull- ing his moustache; “but upon my word, Will, you are fast settling down into an oldish married man, even turning gray, and she ran her fingers through his dark hair, where there was now and then a thread of silver. “Dis-appointed in your do- mestic relations, eh?" she continued, looking him archly in the face. And this was all the sisters could ascertain until their toilets were (in- ished, and they went down into the library where their brother waited for them, kissing them both aflec- tionately, and complimenting them on their good looks. “Scarcely; but the glimpse I did get. was satisfactory. I think she is pretty , ' ' “She will undoubtedly make a good dancer, then. unless, like Dr. Grant. she is too blue for that," Juno said, while Bell shrugged her shoulders, comgratulating herself that she had a mind above such frivolous matters as dancing and well-turned instcps, and wondering if Katy cared in the least for books. ”Couldn't you see her face at all, mother?" Juno asked. “Yes, darling. I love you now." she said, removing Katy’s clinging arms and taking care that they should not enfold her a second time. “You are tired and cold," she con- tinued; “and had better go at once to your rooms. I will send Esther up. There is plenty of time to dress for dinner,” and with a wave of her hand. she dismissed Katy up the stairs, noticing as she went the ex- quisite softness of her fur cloak ; but thinking it too heavy a garment for her slight figure, and noticing too, the graceful ankle and foot which the little high-heeled gaiter showed to good advantage. “I did not see her face distinctly, but she has a well-turned instep and walks easily," was the report she carried to her daughters, who, in their own room over Katy's, were dressing for din- ner.
