Why Mrs.Jones Didn't «Move.

In a comfortable quarter of a genial street In the metropolis, at an inviting breakfast table, sat Theophilus Jones. Ho had longsinco climbed up to a pood position In the sto*. which ho had entered when a boy, and therefore took his time at hi* matutinal meal, as bocame a man of his social and business standing.

It was a muggy morning in March, when the milkman's horwe loomed phan-tom-ltio through tno befogged basement window, and ti newsboy with his bundle of papers seemed part and parccl of this anatomy.

As Mr. Jones went over to the window to help himself from the newly manipulated sheots, a voice irom the kitchtM called,

Jet the Hifi^tld, Mr. JonCS." And ho did get the Herald but as it was not his favorite moining paper, he got it as a luxury, and put it by the plate of Mrs. Jones. lit:in 1" said that lady, entering with a smoking and bavory dish in her hands, and beholding Mr. Jones reading his customary coxisorvati ve sheet, "I should think, Mr. Jones, as a lKatter qf economy, one morning paper would be enough for you."

And so it is, Maria," said Mr. Jones.' "I got the other for you." "I'm much obliged/or your liberality," she replied, "but it is a matter in which yoti are about as much concerned as myself. I wish you'd road out some of tho advertisements. If we're going to move, we'd better begin to look about us."

To move?" said Mr. Jones. "Yes, to move. I thought that was .settled last night. You say you won't sleep on tho the third floor, and I'm sick and tired of having our bod in the back parlor, llosalie needs tho front parlor for her company, and I certainly think, Mr. Jones, that I ought at least to have some sort of a hole to receive my friends in."

Well, but mv dear," expostulated Mr. Jones, with his forefinger upon the place in tho editorial he was reading, "why is it necessary that we should be driven from the parlor because Rosy has a beau or two there Live and let live, .is uiy motto. I shan't mind them a bit.

You and 1 can chat and read and get along in our usual way. Wo uausn't be put out by the young folks."

Yes but do you suppose the young folks won't bo put out by us? How long do you imagine Rosalie would keep her bcaux.if you and I were stuck thore under' thoir noses all the time? They'd t»ko it as a prying impertinence on our part and serve us right, too. It's about time, Theophilus, that Rosalie should have the parlor to herself she was eighteen last Juno."'

Yes, 1 remember," said Mr. Jones 'the month of roses, Maria. And she is the sweetest rose we have ever owned. It's hard to put her out of our hands in this way, wife. I love to watch her winsome ways, and hear the sweet tones of her voice. Her tricks and witcheries are dearer to me, I'll wager, than to any of the empty-headed coxcombs that lloek about our young maid."

Yes," said Mrs. Jones, "you love to watch and listen and thero ain't a young man nowadays that will stind such a thing. You'll have our young maid an old maid then, perhapj, you'll be satisfied."

Mr. Jones smiled gently but incredulously.

On the other side of tho Atlantic, mv dear," ho said, "they manage things better than wo do. The lads and lassies there contrive to fall in love and marry right wnder the eyes of the old folks. And it elves one a chanco to get used to the wrenc'u of parting and mayhap, if parents are oVfcrluckv, they grow ldnd uf the marauder hTnawlf."

Now stop there, Mr, Jotiei," siid his wife, putting ttie chairs tho table. "X know what you mean. I know which of Rosalia's admir«ti» is yonr favorite and how Can fctand the idea of throwing a\Vay v. aronly daughter on that miserahlo Scotchman up stairs, with an invalid mother hanging

his hands, and

"I thought you and Bridget oouid got along down here, and I'djuHrvm in and tiay Hp ft

forM r*r Oraiiaru. Her door waS open as I passed. 8bo was sitting in a chair washing up the bmakfaftt thing*, wid looking so wretched and ill, tna, you can't think. It's dreadful for Joe to have to go away so early.''

Mrs. Jones winced at this familiar ren derinr of the hated Scotchman's name, but remembered that Rosalie waa rather glyen to abbreviating the titles of her acquaintances. "She hasn't eaten a mouthful of breakfast," pursued Rosalie, "and her face is as white as tho wall."

I'll poach an egg and toast some bread for her by-and-by," said Mrs. Jones, who was uy no means a hardhearted woman because she wanted her daughter to have the parlor to herself and make a good match.

Nevertheless the chief object of inter est just now was the advertising sheet the Herald. "How would you like to live out of town she said at last "to take a little

Eave

laco in the suburbs, where we could a garden and raise our own vegetables?"

Mr. Jones kept a judicious silence, remembering the experience of some of his friends.

Oh," said Rosalie, "wouldn't it be nice To have a vine-covered porch, and lots of flowers, and hanging baskets, and tubs of ferntf, and—everything!" "I'll got a Spanish cock and some hens," said Bob "it '11 bo bully."

And let's have some pigeons ami a bull-terrier," said Charley. "Hooray!" Mr. Jones smiled, and went away to the store. Whilo Mrs. Jones and her daugeter were about household cares intent, they talked the matter over, as only an American matron and her daughter do talk over family matters. Thero is one very good point in the American social arrangements that will not perhaps be f»und in better appointed households abroad. The self-reliant independence which Mr. Jones was inclined* to deprecate was conducive to full and complete confidence and companionship and although Rosalie was little more than a child, the whole brunt of no undertaking was allowed to fall full upon Mrs. Jones.

It was decided that Rosalie should attend to the house during these troublesome ides of March, and that tho mamma should have no cares but those connected with house-hunting.

I'm sorrjT to give up the house, on account of the Grahams," said Mrs. Jones, with a searching look at her daughter. "They'll have to move, of course, for the landlord won't rent the upper lloor separately." "Oh, Joe will tako care of that," said Rosalie. "He'll manage for them in some way and, besides, mamma, we can have her out to visit us, and get her cream, and strawberries, and now-iaid eggs, and—every thing."

Mrs. Jones found during her conversation that Rosalie's heart was not yet given over to the obnoxious Scotchman that she knew, of course, ho admired her but, goodness gracious, that was nothing. SheMiked him,-too, he was so good-hearted but, dear me, there were plenty of good hearts at hersorvice, she hoped. So the landlord was advised of the change, and although sorry to part with good tenants, was courteously resigned.

It's very nice of him," said Mrs. Jones one evening, after a fruitless tramp to the country—"it's kind of the landlord not to put up a bill right away. One can't help feeling houseless and homeless after that."

I'm glad, then," said Joe Graham, who began to drop in every night now, and talk over their outlook for a home—

I'm glad I've made up my mind to take the house myself. I'vo had the refusal all along, but hesitated. I've concluded to take the responsibility of letting the upper rooms to 1 oders. Some ofourboj-s at the sto're have engaged them, and I can afford then to get a good servant for mother. I tuink she'll like this chamber, it's so pleasant and roomy."

Mrs. Jones looked at the Scotchman with a rising'ire in her still handsome blue eyes. "The impudence of it!" she said, when Joe had gone upstairs "to coolly prospect around and shove people out of their own house to make room for his mother! Pleasant and roomy!" repeated poor Mrs. Jones, looking about her upon tho wide, bright, spacious room. "I should think it was. There's yonr Scotch blood for you—canny, they call it. Yes, indeed, he'll get along there ain't much doubt of that. He'll getalong if he has to push everybody else to the wall to do it. Tho idea of that Joe Graham hiring the house over our hOads!"

But, my dear," said Mr. Jones, "why wot Joe as well as canlier? I'm glad the poor lady can bo so comfortable." "Of course, of course," said Mrs. Jones. "Glad! you'd be delighted to have jour own flesh and blood in the street to ac commodate a foreigner."

Rosalie, who was siting on the arm of her papa's chair, hero pressed his hand warnlngly, and presently went over to her mother, and began to comb the whitening but abundant locks of that poor tired house-hunting woman.

Yes, Heaven knows she was weary and sick at heart with her undertaking. Day after day she had plodded on with that dogged pluck and perseverance which wore the main points in her character, and day after day sho became more and rnoro disheartened and hopeless.

None but suburban houso-huuters and a pitying Creator can conceive the the droariness with which Mrs. Jones set out on the day after Joo's revelation that he had taken the house for himself.

Sho hurried breathlessly to the train, to wait a full hour at the depot, and studied ii» the meanwhile the meagro ncivertisometit of tbe rural landholder. Leaving tho train at a station overhanging tho railroad, seemingly a part thereof, and having no apparent connection with a collection f£ houses in the distance, she began to walk and walkpast empty lots and sunken commons, through streets just begun and others half completed, all of them ending in hii£Q chaotic pits, where the filling-ln process had been temporarily abandoned. Not acroaturo within sight, except agost-or two, which animal is always ynggeative of misery" to tb# d#nlj®n of a city.

'•'Jtifct rffif hour and a half to wait," Milcl fb# Mation-master and back in search of tho house ««ent went Mrs. Jonaa. T&ia tUno no was l»t ttud urbadety deMrous of taking be^U tho de-

Then they began to

walk and and walk again, till her bead aeeuied to leave her, shoulders and go up in the air, and her body to leave her legs, whioh weut walking and walking on. At last a row of new brick houses re*r#rt themselves "before her on tb« brink of one of those dismal gorges, the back kitchens propped np by posts, the chimneys topped ov queer monsters to induce them to draw—a whole row of staring brick houses, with little courtyards in front, and a funereal nrn in the

middle of what looked like a newly made grave. The agent opened the first of the rusty iron gates to these little court-yards, and entered.

Why, this isn't the cottage advertised, is it?" aaid poor Mrs. Jones—"this isn't a cottage at all. It's a hou&e, a regular brick house," "We call them oottages out here," said the agent, mildly "we call them brick cottages. But walk in."

Which was easier said than done, the occupant opening the door an inch and parleying with the agent.

You'll be coming here before breakfast, and after wo go to bed, the next thing," she said. But seeing the white, wan face of Mrs. Jones, sho added, "Come in and sit down you do look beat out. Yes, me'am, there's three rooms on this floor—" •»:, "Four," said the agent. "Well, it you call that cubby-hole under the stairs a room, all right—and they're every one as damp as they can be. With this roarin' fire here, you can soe for yourself tho pnper's all peelin' off the walls. There's a laundry down stairs—yes" (to the agent). "Don't you be afraid I'll forget tho laundry. It's a very handy laundry, 'cause tho* water's knoe-doep there all the time leastways, it comes and goes with tho tide in the back lots there. There's four roems up stairs—as cold as Greenland in winter, and hot as Africa in summer. There ain't a garret or a loft that you can tuck away as much as an old hoopskirt. Rut come on up stairs I'll show you tho hull premises."

Mrs. Jones declined. She was not quite able to continue her work that day. Could she (turning to the agent) get a hack In the vicinity to take her to the station again She didn't feel very well, and a storm had gathered. The snow begau to whirl around in the front lots and back lots that comprised the view, covering up the ashes and garbage, falling into the pits from whence dirt had been taken, and upon the heaps where dirt had been thrown.

A hack? Well, no there wasn't any hacks to be had. A conveyance of any kind, for which she would willingly pay? Well, n«, he didn't know of any. If she'd take his arm, he'd help her down to the station. And, more dead than ali vi, the poor lady found herself again walking. The agent put her on the train, glad to be rid of what seemed to him then an impending evil for she looked bad, very bad, and there was no place in Rosedale for peoplo to be sick tkat he knew of.

But a hack was to be got in the metropolis, which Mrs. Jones reached at nightfall, and sho fell from the steps of tho coach into the arms of her astonished and terrilied husband.

Don't be alarmed, dear," sho whispered, "don't mind Toffy but I'm goto die, I think."

Hold on!" cried Mr. Jones, to the hackman. Then he carried his wife into the house, and jumping into the cab, went after the family physician.

She must be very bad," whispered Mr. Jones to himself. "She hasn't called me 'Toffy' nor put her arms about me in that way, since our honoymoon." And none but those who have so few maritial caresses are able to appreciate them.

The doctor looked grave, ordered perfect quiet, a sedative. The next morning he looked graver still. Ice was tut upon the poor lady's head, which rolled helplessly to and fro upon the pillow. And there she lay for four long weeks.

It was a season of wretchedness and despair. Nobody knew how dear and necessary was this rather sharp and peremptory matron till there was an Imminent danger of losing her. Then all was remembered and cluag to tearfully.

Jones found his heart contracting with agony, and ^ould think of no way in which life would be endurable without her. To contend with business cares, to shape the future of this pretty Rosalie, to manage these three boisterous boys, without Maria—without Mrs. Jones!

My God Joe," he cried that night, bowing his head upon the marble table and bursting into tears, "I shall go mad!"

Hush! take heart. There's a faint hope," said Joe, coaxing the cold trembling fingers ol'Rosalie into his keeping.

Oh, what would they have done without him, these Joneses, who knew naught of sickness save the little ills that yonder fainting hand upon the bed had guided safely to health again Joe had dealt with it all his life. Ho knew and bad tested well all the help that could be gained from human aid, and when that was hopeless, knew also howto wait manfully the decree of the inevitable.

That dreadful night not an eye closed in tho house, save, perhaps, tho tear swollen ones of the boys. Mrs. Graham remained upon her knees hour after hour, and who can tell but the prayers of that pure good ladv wore of avail? Early In tho day Mrs Jones had fallen Into a slumber, which the doctor had said would probably lead from unconsciousness into death. But tho next morning, though still asleep, her pulse was stronger ft gentle perspiration bathed her forehead. The doctor's eyes gleamed suddenly with hope, and ho drove them all down Into the front basement to tell them that perhaps there was indeed a moderate cbanco for the life of Mrs. Jones.

Which soon ripened into a certainty. Once giving that good lady a toot-hold upon the shore again, there was not mucndanger of her drifting out. Sho becamo gradually conscious of all that had happened

It was tho wonderful goodness of Ood," wild pure and gentle Mrs. Graham.

And, under Heaven, my strong constitution," said Mrs. Jones, "that was proof against house-bunting and more is due to tho caro and nursing of your strong, good son. Ood bless hhn, anywav! she said, tears rolling out of her ey:s. "I'm glnd he's got the house, as vve haven't. We must begin to look about us now it must be well on to tho l«t of May."

Then her weak, wandering sight bognn to fall upon each weil-beloved ar!o of fnrnitnre tilling Its appointed

Mron tho *t?U bripht and cheery P?t ih.nt had b-vn to the parlors many years agn, upon this an that bracket on the wall, tuis and that »h*he for familiar household gjds.

Ob, dear!" sho criotl to herself, piteouslv, "am I going now to be a weak, mawflin woman, and cry over what can't be helfied

Joe," she said that night to younjt Graham, "I wish you'd look up a house for ns. Jnties isn't worth a pin that way, and ytm see how It is. Do, like a good boy, just get us a place in the city, as near by as as you can." "Why, Mrs. Jones," said Joe, "I'm sorry If it displeases you, but we were compelled to do something, wnd I thought perhaps you wouldn't mind Just firing as we are for another year— mother and I up stairs and you down, In the old way."

In the dear, blessed old way," aha murmured. Mrs Jones holding out to him her shaking hands. "God bless you, Joe!"

And He did bless him. Of that yen may be sure.
