What's the matter now* Rache f! asked a stoat, easy-going booking, shabby was, coming in from the street and disencumbering himself of a little bag and a heavy coat. He drew a chair to tbe stove, lit a pipe tbst reposed in bis pocket when not in his month, and sor veyed Rache through a clond ol smoke. It took her some time to say •Ob, nothing.'

Yon a'n't crying for nothing Rttcbe stood up and lifted tbe cover off

*aueep*n, felt tbe vegetables, and tut the tea to draw. Her compressed ips and brimming eye* showed the self control she was exerting, and Uncle Jacob silently admired tier for it. She had astoat little figure, sbort, de tided featured, bright black eyea, and some broad braids of dark bair twisted high over her low forehead, a style tbat gavd character to her face and head.

Tbe society meets to-night, and aunt says I can't go-'

What's the matter She wont be home till near ten she's going to see grandmother. Uncle James will bring her home.'w"*

This word quite exhausted Unole Ja Cob until he had disposed of his soup, bis bread and cheese, several pints oi tea, and an indefinite amount of tobac-

Rachel's face brightened at his evident enjoyment of the supper that sbe bad prepared and as sbe washed the dishes and pat them in the ftloset, her returning peace of mind was signaled by a humming which became a iresendo and ended In a clear, sweet anthem, the rich contralto tones filling tbe room with melody.

Wait a ruinate!' cried Uhcle Jacob, and springing across the floor like another crocus re, he threw open tbe piano and began tbe accompaniment.

Her work done, Rachel came and leaned on his sbmilder, singing one after another the difficult solo anthems which Uncle Jacob's love of oratorio matte had made as familiar to her aa the batlffds ire to the majority*

Go and get on your shawl, Racbe I'll keep house this evening, When she came in from tier'Utile room In ber old plaid shawl end ftfeabby bat,Unele Jeoeb wa» Wind and deaf to all present concerns, and the 'Hallelujah Chorus' from the Mount of Olives' was satisfying Sbe man's higher cravings.

Rachel gave way to a burst of tears, too bitterly disappointed to speak, and Uncle Jacob »*hui bis teeth on bisp pe stem, and marched eut of tbe bouse, bfs habit wben his wife had a spell, as be nailed it.

Two days afterward a wonderful thing took place—tbe postman left a note addressed to Miss Moore. It was from Mies Carpenter, asking Miss Mot re to call and see ber without de lav.

Rachel, dressed in her best, a crimson merino suit, a cotton velvet sacque, aud a hat with a cherry-colored feather asserting itself—started within an hour. Sbe found Miss Carpenter in tb«front room, second floor, of an elegant bouse in a fashionable street. Miss "Carpenter, in a becoming gray wrapper, was lying on a dark onmso'n lounge and Rachel looked tbe sorrow sbe felt wben tbe famous contralto spoke in a hoarse, weak voioo:

0 thank yon, Miss Moore! You see I'm laid up, no singing for me, tbe doctor says, within ten days. I was in tbe greatest distress about my Christmas service until I thought of vou. You i, Cbrisiuias coming on Sunday, all the good singers are engaged, and I want you to take my piacein tbeohoir.' ?rcrled Rachel, wben able to speak.

Yes, yon.' How can IV •Verywoll. if you'll keep up your oonragd. The part mnsic is not any more difficult than what you have been singing tbere are two or three duets ana a trio bot you will have three refaoarfrals—one to-night and the others on Friday and Saturday evenings. You read easily

Yes, I can read.' Rachel was sure sbe was dreaming. I'll send a note to the organist and tell him to consider you my substitute. Dp you know where tbe church is

Rachel flushed, 'Oh, yes I Ioften go therewith Unele Jacob,' to bear yea slog, sbe aalght have added, but Rachel stopped short. Strange to say, Miss Ofcrpeater read tbe i»rtifv» In tbe tell-tale eyes, ani felt a «:uion of pfeasnre, =-•?.'1

This being one of tbe final lebeafsals the whole work was given, and Rachel in company with several of tbe mem Oars, left the ball more than ever «b chanted with Miss Carpenter's voice. Never bad it sounded so dear, so pure, so rich, so resonant. It was tbe subject of conversation until Rachel parted from these good-natured escorts at ber aunt's door.

From romance to reality ia not for, and having soared with Handel above ail temporal and earthly vanities, Rachel was reoalled to earth by the high tonea of her aunt's voloe, evidently in hot dispute with Uncle Jacob.

It's all stuff,' said Aunt Martha, as Rachel went into the room. 'If Rachel would give up ber nonaenalcal ntusic and learn dress-making, it would be better for all of us. Qallavating out at uigbt and leaving you at home to look after things, why, everything in the room could beetolen,and you wonldn' be any tbe wiser! with your, 'Crea tion' and 'St. Paul' and je rest of them in front of you I What's the good of It all, anyhow

••JAIAR "•"•Y*

A bald-headed man sitting at the organ looked at ber from head to foot as abe stood before him, at first with surprise, then thoughtfully, Finally be drew a note from bis pocket, Mad it, an|l again inspected Rachel 'Areyou MiseMoore?'

Rachel nodded. He pointed to a Beat near hum, snd as sbe passed mm *o sit down, she felt thesupprecMd. titter that went round the gallery.

Unole Jacob, who bad ensconced him self in a front paw below, realised tbe ordeal his little niece was undergoing. Yet he fairly bugged himself at this wondrous chanof and «a the tap on the organ oalled for attention, he strained his ears to catch the tones of I he fresh young voice be haa trained so loug and pstiently.

Meanwhile, Rachel at last raised her eyes to tbe tall music-rack before her, and gated beyond it down the diml defined aisles and rows of paws, thei up to the Rotbio arches and graceful ooiumns. What could be more de ligbtful than to sing in this plaoet to teel one's voice ascending and swelling among such refining influences Ilu ohel almost believed that she could torget self and tbe world thus singing

Tbe organist broke tbe ppejl by band ing ber tbe music of The Venlte. How simple it is 1 thought mchei tbeu she put ber copy on the rack, as she saw the soprano and tenor doing, and stood up.

The notes were four inches above her eyes. A large band reached over from behind and lowered the rack to a proper level. Rachel turned gratefully and met the curious stare of a powerful dark-eyed bass. He bowed, sbe color ed.and the first chord was struck.

Rachel kept her eyes on her note.« and sang away, overcoming with an effort tbe first hesitation and the oddity of having the heavy bass just at her ear. But for*the steady drilling at the society she never could bav,e held her* own part so bravely.

It was over at last: the organist col lected his copies, and handed round those for the Te Deum. Evidently tb«: service had been thoroughly rehearsed, and there was little or no king to b«done. Rachel made a few mistakes ii her first duet with the soprano, but did well in the trio with the basso and ten or.

Wben the rebersal '^as enaed the members went silently away. No one spoke toRichel, who bad forgotten her snabby clothes, and felt, by reason ol ber talent, almost on an equality with them.

A* she was going, the organist hand ed her a copy of Tbe Messiah, aud said Just run over your solo, will you

There was no one In the gallery but Mr. Mason and herself. Rachel was ignorant of tbe fact that the basso, the tenor, and a dozen or more of the vol unteers came to a halt in the dark nisleaas soon as the accompaniment fmormed them of what was in store for listeners.

So chel sang once more, and Mr, Mason nodded wben sbe finished, looked thoughtful as the end of her sbawl disappeared round an angle of the or gan, and the first ordeal was ov r. Uncle Jacob threw his arms around her in the semi-darkness of the vestibule, kissed ber, and exclaimed:

You've done well! I am proud ol you 1' Thla waa reward ei ougb, an^ even drew o«t tbo never al-sent thorns.

The other rehearsal-* wore only die tinguished by be fact that Rachel s»ng better and bQttor. Mr. Mason never volunteered a word of fault or praise, and the others still stared rudely at the shabby little figure.

On Christmas morning Rachel put on her brilliant garmeots and dazzling feather, ouly too ?w»s tbelr vulappearance but bateoaid she do? ben sbe took her plaoe amid tb« odors of pine and hetulock, and began to admire tbe diecOratlons and watch tbe crowds pouriug in through tbe deep vestibule, she ('gain forget self.

Now the white-robed prie4s came froui lbe vestry, the rustle of silks at»d *«lvetaiioi«aaed, then subsided, tbe evergreens -sbons under the star above the altar, the organ notes gave tbe opening of Memlelssohn's sublime chorus, 'There shall come forth a Star," and Rachel rose with the others, feeling as If ia anew world where alt was beauty.

Uncle Jacob's (**, turned toward ber froui an obscure corner of the gallery, nerved her to her task. For his SUK» She Would do her best.

That's the organist where Miss Car penter sings,'said Rachel, determined that Uncle Jacob should be tbe first to hear of her good fortune,

I suppose he wantayou to do some Ringing another thirty dollars worth.' Iiacbel took up her work with firm shut tips.

Not a word she said, but when the street door opened Rachel bounded on of tbe room, and a confused sound of mingled labgbter, crying, and kissing, at length drew Aunt Martha from the machine to tbe halt. There stood Uncle Jacob in bis great coat, crying like htby, and Rachel with her arms rouud his neck, hugging him and laughing hysterically.

The operator is just about to withdraw the cloth. His back is toward yon. Tbe index finger of his unoccupied hand mutely marks the place for your eye.
