Miss Haliday's Plate.

BY SUSAN ARCHER WKISS.

MUs Ilalday, setting down her coffee up, unfolded her morning paper, and read aloud, with an air of satisfaction, the following announcement:

TWOSINGLE

LADIES CAN ACCOM MO-

date a gentleman and his wife with a suite of handsomely furnished apartments. Unexceptionable reference# required. Servants' attendance. Plate, if desired, extra.

Plate eaid Miss Millicent. "W by, we said nothing about plate." It was an al'tprtliouirht of my own," replied the elder sister complacently. "I wished it to In understood by strangers that we havo plate. It shows that the advertisers are i»vn?onsof gentility, and wo may thus secure more desirable inmates."

To bo sure. No one but you, Phuo, would have thought of that," remarked Miss Millicent admiringly. "But you always wero so clever and acute."

Please, ma'am," said Nancy, the female factotum of the Misses Ilaliday's establishment, as she thrust her head in at the J»or of tho breakfast-room, "please, ma'am, a gentleman, to see you, ma'am, about the rooms."

De ir me, very prompt, I declare 1" said Miss Ilaliday, adjusting her irongray frizes. "You will come with me t,o the parlor, Millicent and you, Katie," —turning to tho pretty young girl, who had been all this time tearfully gazing out of tbo window—"you may a9 well get togethor your things, ready for packing. The'train leaves at six clock tomorrow morning—so all must be ready over night."

Katie went slowly up stairs to her own room, where, ttlrowing herself upon a lounge, she burst into tears.

Oh, dear she sighed, piteously, "I almost wish I could die!" Let no one blame her too severely. The sorrows of youth are harder to bear than those of age and experience and a girl of seventeen, disappointed or crossed in her Hint love, imagines that the future holds no recompense. Life, she believes, can henceforth bo ^o her only a desert, and the world only a waste and howling wilderness. At least such was Katie's impression and then aHnt Phcabo was so hard-he*rted and cruel, to send her away to the country, on a two months' visit to that awful Aunt Strieker, only be muse—because Charlie loved her anil wanted to marry her!

Aunt Pluube said she was too young, and Charlio too poor. As If people must wait till they grow old and rich before they are fit to be married! What if Charlie were only a poor yonng clerk, in a lawyer's oflice—wouldn't he make money by-and-by? Wasn't he smait enough and gocd enough to succeed in anything ho might undertake? Oh, if Aunt I'hrebe and Aunt Millicent would only be kind and help them a little!

Meantlnio, Miss Ilaliday,in tho parlor below, was making an arrangement with.the gentleman who had called, quite to her own satisfaction.

Ho had Introduced himself as the Keverend Manassas Hewlett, late missionary to Holoobuchoo, China, whence ho had returned to America on account of his wife's health, tho climate not agreeing with her. He bad come to to make arrangements for editing a now religious paper, to be called the "Awakener," and also to assumo'the ofUee of local ogent of tho "Motropalltau Union Bible and Tract Society."

Ho had letters—which ho drew forth from a black morocco pocket-hook—and could refer Mlsa Haliday to tho Roverend—but she had here interrupted him by declaring that it was not at all necessary. Would Mr. Howlett like to look at the rooms

So the two ladies, accompanied by Nancy, conducted tho visitor np stairs, where he examined and approved of tho apartments, only regretting the eastern exposure, and suggesting certain little changes, such as might ho easily made, as more conducive to Mrs. Howlett's com for?. "An Invalid, vou know, my dear madam, is generally fastidious little matters such as these. Mrs. Howlett Is specially sensitive to draught. I hope the doors and windows are ail clos»d.

Hero he sxtimned hem. "Wo shall be glad to «tigag« a servant's attendance and as for plate, though it Is a thingto which smrnvseVf perfectly Indifferent, yet is Mrs. Howlett has, I confess, a weakness In t&wt direction, I would not object to gratifying her. Indeed she is to be excused, hsv ing been brought tip by hor father, Judd, in a style qnito different ftrttt that to whieh.asaftnssionlrj^s sni has been more recently Perhaps, ma'am, you w*H id!»*' &i# nee the plate, as I shotPg liki t" all «rr»»£wnfnt* iitil wilng4* iff perloct order before Una arrival ol Mrs, llowlett."

Now of all thing* ih* Mfsses Haliday most prided themselves upon their plate—t wo entire tea sets, vrUn various other pieces, inherited from MM *44«S of their family—and nothing pleaded them more than to have an AmttflutiUy of exhibiting it. 80 thsr ledilwtr rev* arsnd visitor to the old library, kepV locked since the death of their father, and opening a closet In the wall, exhibited an iron-clamped box, whenee they produced, pi POO by pieoe, THE family heirlooms—relics of former wealth. "Not so showy as modern manofaeture," remarked Miss Haliday, with pride, "but sterling metal, yon perceive —solid stid heavy.

Hie reverend gwdinMiii

his approval, and selected" some of the

ainest pieces for Mis. Hewlett's Ote. added .that Mrs. Howlett was at]

resent at Coalville (a email town on railroad, some thirty miles distant,} 't-

on a vMt'Uj'lho faraOy 01 her Wlatlve, Judge Peterson, but tuat be would himself bring her up to-day, if the ladles would allow them immediate possession.

Certainly, Miss Ilaliday said, the apartments were ready for occupation und she took occasion to Impress upon the gentleman that this was their nrst experience in "reeeh ing Inmates," their object being less of a pecuniary nature than the consideration of their lonely and unprotected situation, since the death of their aged father, somo yoirs sinco.

Mr. Howlett fnlly appreciated and observman, ich had upon more than one occasion done service in China against the hostile natives. And promising to return in the evening, accompanied by Mrs. Howlett and tho baggage, the reverend gentleman departed.

What a nice man!" observed Miss Millicent,.peeping through the blinds at his retreating figure.

And how fortunate we are In getting a clergyman as an inmate!" responded her sister. "So thoroughly respectable. Then the lady, being an invalid, will be so quiet. Really, since our situation as single ladies, living alone, compels us to receive lodgers, nothing could have been better for us." "Nice connections, too. A judge's cousin and her father a general! She must bo of the Pa3'iies or tho Poynings —though I don't see exactly how that can be, sinco there were only Amanda Payne and the two Poyniug girls. But we^ll know, of course."

Nancy must make fires in tho rooms at once," said practical Miss Haliday, "and have them aired. Also, there are other thincs to lie done—the plate polished, for instancj. I don't think Mr. Howlett appreciates plate. He seemed very indifferent to ours. "Yet what a gentlemanly man lie is!"

Aunt Phoebe," said Katie, entering tho room at this moment, "I shall want to write home, and my paper's all out." "So Is mine. You may step over to KUett's, child, and get a supply but don't stay," added Miss Ilalliday, severely.

She knew, from past experience, that since Mr. Charles Duncan had been virtually, as it were, forbidfien the house, that young gentleman had acquired a habit of suddenly turning up at strcot corners whenever Katie happened to be out on a walk or errand, and that on these occasions she was very likely to be out longer than was necessary.

Fortune sometimes favors distressed lovers, and so it was on this occasion for, as Katie entered the stationer's shop, who should bo there, selecting a variety of stationery, but Mr. Charles Duncan himself!

He moved to her side immediately. No other person was present, except the shopman, and an old gentleman upon whom he was waiting, at quite the other end of the shop.

I am so glad to see you," he whispered. "But what is the matter as her tearful eyes met his.

I—I am going away," she answered, falteringW. "Going!*way? When? Whereto?" inquired he, hastily.

To-morrow morning at six o'clock— a long way into the country, and to stay a long, long time."

He was silent for a moment, then he said, looking down earnestly into her face:

Katie, is it by your own desire? Do you wish to go She glanced up quickly, looked down again, then blushed.

You know I don't." Bear Katie," he took her hand under cover of the pile of books on the counter—"you must not go—indeed, you shall not. I can't bear to see you so treated, and," he added, tenderly, "I •ran't bear to have you away from me. We need not be separated."

Hush!" said Katie, quickly, as the shopman and his customer approached. She moved away, and gazed intently at a little sponge monkey, representing a pon-wiper. "Can I do anything for you, miss?" inquired tho polite proprietor, turning from his departing customer to wait upon her.

She mentioned what she wanted and while he was examining the shelves for the required "stamp," Charlie whispered "Katie, I mint see you again before yon go."

It isn't possible," she answered, sorrowfully. But I have something very particular to say—"

The shopman turned around with the required paper, and as placed it before the young lady, he looked rather curiously at tne two.

Thore could, of course, be 110 moro confidential talk between them but the young gentleman, after intently surveying the same sponge monkey that had attracted Katie's attention, scribbled a few words on a piece of paper, and managed to slip it in her hand as she passed out.

She grasped It tightly, and npon gaining the seclusion of her own room, carefully smoothed out tho crumpled folds, and read these worns:

I will be under the library window at eleven o'clock precisely. Do not diiappoint me."

Oh 1" thought Katie, half-frighten-ed. how could ho think of such a thing? It wasn't su wrong in the twilight—but olven o'clock at night! What would Aunt Plurbe say if she knew? Poor Charlie."

It was, perhaps, well for her that Annt Plwubo was too much preoonpied with the preparations for tlie new intimte* to bcitnw upon her the usual attention. By four o'clock tho arrangements were all completed bright H« burned in the long deserted rooms of theseoond doer, and dainty little rvpest was provided for the refresLment of the expected lodgers.

No aerideflt, madam but I found Mrs, Howlett suffering so severely with Mothseh* that wo wero compelled to wail for the evening train. Indeed, I was unwilling to have her axposed t« the oold but she Insisted upon coming on at mrce."

The lady's hoe wai so nmffled in a crimson woolen aoarf, and concealed hy a thick veil, that little culd be seen of Ik Hhe was evidently still auCferiog, and Nancy, who went up with tea, reported that she was in bed, with het head all eovered in the blankets. She Was qnlte nnwell, and did not wish to be disturb to night.

But where is the baggage inquired Miss Haliday. Oh, ma'am, the gentleman says as

TKW.RK FTA-TJTH SATl"H'l)A V- KVKNI!S'G MAIL.

how he hadn't time to look after the trunks, along of his anxiety to get his wife onto' the flight air. There's only tho two big valises, that they've brought along in- the hack, and to morrow he'll see to the trunks."

So vory nice," aald Miss Haliday, as she prepared to retire at her usual honr of half-past nine, "How fortunate wo should nave secured such Inmates!" "And one foolB so safo in having a man In the house," said Miss Millicent "that is, when he's a clergyman, and has his wife with him."

By ten o'clook all waB quiet In the house, and apparently all asleep, except Katie. How could she sleep when she know that Charlie would be under the library window at eleven o'clock? for she had no opportunity of letting him know that be must not come.

I can't go—indeed, I can't!" thought she, anxiously. "But If I don't, he will wait in the oold, poor fellow! and may be do something to attract my attention —rap en tho window, or, perhaps, call me and then aunt might hear him, or Mr. Howlett, and oh, what would they think?"

The library was on tho first floor, and Its window, some six or eight feet from the ground, looked upon a retired Utile bit of the front yard, sereenod by shrubbery. This window had been, during tho past summer, a favorite seat of Katie's. Here she read and sketched and here, upon more than one occasion, had Mr. Charles Duncan, liaj»p( ning to pass whllo sbo was so employ d, stepped quietly into the little unused side-gate, and. screened by the rosebushes from all other observation, held sweet discourse with her. Precious stolen communion, sweet to young lovers denied any other opportunity 1 meeting. But to grant such an oppoitunity at eleven o'clock at night Impossible How could Mr. Duncan think of it?

Still, tho fear of his being discovered by eome one, even Nancy, made Katie very anxious and nervous. Perhaps it would be best, after all, to see him and tell him to go quietly away and so, after considering the subject, the poor girl could think of nothing better that sho could do, and it would save Charlie, probably, from a long waiting and eventual disappointment.

Sho wrapped herself in a thick shawl, and sofly opened tue door of ner room, which was 011 the firot floor, next her aunt's, but in the opposite end of the house from the library. All was still and silent. She advanced a few steps Suddenly sho started. Was that the sound of a footstep? Just then the great clock in the hall, close to her, rang out the hour, elven: Charlie was at this very moment under the window, waiting for her.

Her heart beat fast, and she stepped hastily and lightly down the narrow passage-way tnat led to the library. She held in her band the key that always hung in the little closet between her own and her aunt's room for, as we have said, the library was kept locked. But on this night there must have been some strange oversight for, as Katie reached the library-door, she perceived, with surprise, that it stoodjslightly ajar, and—stranger still—there was a faint light within.

The girl paused, breathlessly. What could it mean Peeping cautiously in, she saw, to her extreme astonishment, two figures moving silently acoss the floor, apparently carrying some heavy o"bject. Then the light was extinguished. A thrill of fear kept her rooted to the spot and prevented her screaming. She heard the window slowly and cautiously raised and then she could discern, against the light without, one of the persons looking out of the window start suddenly back.

Caught, by Jove was uttered in a low, breathless whisper. The two seemed to hold a hasty consultation, after which they advanced to the door, so quickly and noiselessly that Katie had no time for retreating. She heard an oath as one of the men ran against her in the dark, and in the fear and horror of the contact sbo uttered a shriek, which rang long and loud through the house. The next moment there was the sound of some one scrambling up the wall without, afld springing through tbo window—the ring of somo heavy metallic body falling to the floor—blows, a struggle, and finally the report of a pistol, followed by shrieks of female voices, and rattling blows of some wooden instrument, dealt rapidly in the darkness.

Bring a light, quick!" shouted a voice which Katie recognized as Charlie's while at thosame moment Nancy's tones aroso in loud shrieks of "Helphelp! Murder! robbers! thieves!"

Tlien there was a rush of footsteps outside—a knocking at the door—and tho next moment somo one rushed in with a lantern, the light of which revealed a strange and striking scene.

There crouched Katie, palo and trembling, in a corner of tho hall. There stood Mis* Haliday, as if turned to stone, while her less strong-minded sister lay in swoon at her feet. There knelt Mr. Charles Duncan, with his knee on the chest of tho Reverend Manasas Howlett, and his fist entwined 111 that gentleman's cravat whllo Mrs. llowlett, in a cloak and traveling hat, with a mufller and veil, and an unmls takablo trace of a moustache on her upper lip, lay bleeding by bis side—felled by a chance blow 011 the temple from the broomstick in the hands of Nancy, who, red and panting, still stood with that formidabio weapon threatlugly up-

Tho' Reverend Manassas was, after somo further resistance, secured while a policeman, who had by this timo arrived, carefully clasped a pair of iron bracelets on the stout wrists of Mrs. Msnassas.

It was evident that they were prepared for a journey—perhaps back to China as missionaries—and upon examination of the ample valises with which they wero supplied, they wero found to be dextrously packed with Miss Ilaliday 4 cherished pl*U», to which Mr. Howlett bad manifested 60 much indiH'c*renpo.

The •worthy couple were taken In charge by the policeman and escorted to other quarters but it was many days ere the Misses Haliday reeoverinl iY»ui the shock of that night's exp« rlunce.

Katie did not go. to the country. Her aunts forgave her, and cniiu.ii Inl h) keep her at home, and upon further consideration, they coiicludtd that might be convenient to havo Charlie in the bouse, also, lu plaoo of the dcp&rted Chinese missionaries.

Arrangements were, then*fore, made to the satisfaction erf all partl?s nor has anything yet occurred to disturb the harmony

tit

the relations between Mr.

Duncan and. his aunts in-law, for be never told them that be had intended on that memorable night topersude Katie t« rnn sway ami marry film, Instead of going to Miss Strieker.
