She treated all frankly and courteously, and had warm frleeds of both sexes. But the pyramid of Egypt wan not more llrmly based on It native soil than she wan on a determination to remain, through good and evil report, a fixed member of the d and respectable sisterhood of eplnsters. Rite used to declare: The legend on my tombstone shall be 'Mebitable Long, spinster; age ninety-ninnever had an offer,' " Time sped on, and treated my friend, in Its liberal way, with Its bitter and Its sweet, but not once had she swerved from her early determination, and I should have as soon thought of bearing that the greal pyramid had been caught waltzing w Itb the sphinx aa to hear that Mehltable Long contemplated treacb- cry to the sisterhood.

Hut' why' linger? She married, and too on a wedding tour. Bomchow, it could have been borne with more equanimity bad they taken separate Journeys. In process of time, after the effects of the shock had somewhat subsided, I went to pay the married spinster a visit. Several years had passed since ,her catastrophe, and her family now numbered three, the third one being Itt- tie Hope, a child born tn the memorable blizzard of 1888, and as remarkable aa the child of a spinster and a bllzxard should be.

Can it be that my friend, Me- hitable, who alvyp stood so uncom- promisingly on herjpwn roots, has by some mysterious process become a clinging matrimony vine? And Is Jeremiah the supporting trellis? "Ccntrlnoilg." screamed the conductor, and gathering together great, middle-size- d and little bundles, I went fbrth to receive the answer to my queries. On the platform stood my friend, MebRabler Ilh a combinatlon of Mehltable, Jeremiah and blizzard by her aide. In the form of Miss Hope. In justice to the little midget, let me fay the blizzard aide waa rarely uppermost. The hearty greeting, I am very glad to see you once more, Graysalda" her pet name for me In the happy spinster days was reassuring. Rbe had not quite lost her ldsntlty, then, in the thickets of matrimonial perplexities and felicities. We had only to walk across a little common to be at her door; and we were soon exchanging reminiscences of the past and news of the present. This conversation was not entirely unshared by Misa Hope, who was so often and so emphatleal'y sup- pressd by her mother that ahe confided to her favorite doll the opinion that two womans was too many to have In Jiff. l5Ue, WasJhis belief of Miss never-endin- , , Hope's. 1 wondered, sn hereditary trait. sometimes trail Intensified, aa su-are?

He was always most pleasant to the early friends of Mehlia-blfrom a sense of honor, I think, for Jeremiah was an honorable man. He must have felt, and .kwtrly at times, iiat he bad dared to set at naught onea 6f the great natural laws, and that life of atonement would scarcely condone the error. It suddenly dawned upon de, at the table when the host received an emphatic reproof for some absent-mindeneglect of the rltea of hospitality, that Mehltable was still some distance from the vine sge, and still stood with considerable firmness upon her own root. My visit at the bom of ray friend had a certain spiciness at times that made h e c, d It decldcJlFexhllarstlng. Miss Hope was no smsl! factor there, and of course the midget had a realizing sense of her own Importance. All the wells of Jeremiah's being were filled to the brim with love for the child -- and she waa, most times, a nice, loving little thing. Her mother' keen Insight into the follies and weaknesses of men were her', too. fcs whispered to himself, "Poor Margaret! - Perhaps the ghost of those long neglected yes5 s of married life rose to confront him la that silent room.

Ho would never let her go again, he thought dear Margaret! Among the anxious watchers for the great steamer that was expected ono morning stood a tall, handsome man.

He had found out what life was without her, and he told her himself, as he looked Into tho radiant face, that without her It was not worth living. Aunt Elizabeth smiled a shrewd little smile when Margaret told her, a few days afterward. "My dear," eald she, In that wise way of hers, men need to be handled with the nicest of tact and Judgment Married life la apt to blunt the keen edge of affection, and prore monotonous, but, in spite of carelessness and Indifference, the love la there.

Usually Mehltable would take exception to Miss Hope's wholesale criticism of mankind, but just now, being absorbed In studying the only kind of literature she abominated, and the only kind she had time to read now the cook-boo- k - her daughters remarks were unheeded. ' Mra. Jeremiah' single life had been or among her spent In the school-roohooka, and so she found herself less skillful In housekeeping than her better trained sister. Not being one of those who die and make no sign, the strong language with which she Interlarded her household duties was sometimes startling, and, from Its very originality, decidedly atrengtenlng that Is, to me and I fancy to Jeremiah, for his lamentations 'were always almost always ailent ones, I had foi gotten to soy that some time before my vlstt the boat had met with a narrow escape from a broken neck by breaking bla thigh, and poor Mehltable had been for weeks, with all her other duties, the nurse of a helpless, nervous man.

Still, for all that, ahe neglected no wifely duty, and hers was a Jeremiah without bla lamentations: Next to a process requiring at times, long, slender mementoes from ths spplo trees about, was.
