Loaning a Lover.
3Ij sister P.tncia was aa beireis.
Strange eoongU. for. we bad always been
terribly p xr tiojra at Luabridge, my
uidnwed mother bringing up her four
daughters with Uie greatest difficulty;
nut when bruusht up we were worth
looking at, I bdicre.
Beaa aad Amy were twins, with eyes
blue as the tea near which thsy were
bara."rity cheeks, and loaxr, light brown
curls. Patricia was sparkling brunette,
hile I wm a perfect blonde, with crin
kled hair like molten gold. Great bad
been our excitement when Aost Betty
wrote from Faitharen:
"Dear Sibteb xx Law: I am goiag to
Vtnycif Le pleature of visiting jou
this uamtr. 1 hear that brother Abel
left four sjtrls, and I want to see these. 1
am getting on in years, and I will make
one of them my bcires, etc,"
Annt Betty.of FairhaTen, was worth a
handrtd t ho awn J dollars if she waa
aonh a cent
Well, in due time see came. She put
up at the hotel, for our cottage at Low-
bridge wasn t big enough to hold her,'
with her maid, coachman and carriage;
bnt fortunately that was close by, aad
she spent the larger half of three days
with cs.
We all tUcgtit Bess would be her
choice, for father bad named ber Eliza-
i:h for Aunt Betty, though she bad al
waTabcen "Bes" with os; bat It was not
cither of tbe twins aad it was not I it
was Patricia.
"Where did that cirl rtt ber black
hair!' Aunt Betty, asked, as soon as she
saw ber.
"I thick ahe looks like qt brother
Lake, don't youP asked the mother, with
a whiful look.
"The Terr imsce of him " answered
Aunt Belly, turning pale.
I diwued then, as 1 learned afterward.
Uncle Lake bad been a lf-er cf Aont
Betty's when both were young, before
her marriage, and the fact seemed to hate
a power oer ber.
She looked at Patricia na til tbe girl
blushed rosy-red, and would bare
clipped oat of the room, when she called
her to ber, and drawing ber dowa upon
her knees on a footsbioi before ber.tbepai
a withered baad each side of the yoasg
cherk, and said, warmly:
"My dear, you shall be my hdreas."
So it wa Patricia she cbie to Ieare
her m mey to; bat we were not left out
in the cold, for she sent tbe twins, who
were cnly sixteen, to a convent school fur
two j ear, and invited me, with Patricia,
to I be Hermitage.
It was ber Iruas a stately old man
sion of gray stone, gloomy looking oa the
ouisidr, tint luxunoasiy comfortable aad
healthful within, without beiag ia tbe
lat modern. We bad" each a maid and
the free use of the horse and carriage. Af

Aunt Betty excused herself from making

That autumn Aunt Betsy died. Patri
cia was to come in poisession of ber for
tune in a year, wbea she was tweaty-bse
fall and undisputed possesuoa ol oae
hundred thousand dollars.
It was arranged that we were all to
come to the Hermitage to live. We did
so, and lived there quietly, as was be
coming, for nearly a year, when Patricia
made the acquaintance of 3ir. Gage Red
mnsd.
Sae met hi m at first at a foaeral of all
places 1 tbe occasion canted by the
death of our next door neighbor, Geaeral
DeXicy, Gage ltedtaotid being a selga
borof bis. He was well connected, bat
poor as a church soue, people said; "so
f cour.e be was after Patricia's forts He,"
mamma declarer!.
"What can't bo accomplished opealy
must be done by stratagem, mamma. It
is probable this Gage ltedmond Is after
Patricia's money. She s a great prize
matrimonially. Well, yoa say I am
prettier than Patty. Suppose I play de

"WbatP cried mamma.

"Ye."
"1 want to say lo you, my dear, thatoa

you had better" she whispered, but
intcrrapted bar by my exit from the
apnrtmeat.
Trie Bert trala broagkt Mr. Clyde
BMrnagiea.
"How delightful that the spring is at!
hand," said he; "the sunshine growing
warm, and the grass springing; I passed
a hit of wood coming up from the station
that is full of arbutus. We will have
some delightful walks, Gcrty. I am tired
of city life."
"Ye, Clyde, dear; but you see I have
been obliged to make a little plan that
will Interfere somewhat with that ar
rangement," I replied, quickly. "In fact,
fur the family good, you know, I want to
lend you lo Patricia."
"Lend me to PaUiciat"
"Yes; while I lure away a most inelig
ible suitor she has. Mamma and I con
clude that it Is the only way," I added.
"Patricia has a fortune of one hundred
thousaad dollars, you know."
"Yes."
"Well, we thick this Mr. Gage Red
mood Is after ber money. He is only a
briefless lawyer. We cat atford to Ut
Patty make sach a match as that, and
so, as I doa't think I'm a totally uninter

to try and flirt a tittle with Mr. Redmond.
Now, yoa won't be a bear and ssy no,
will yoa, de.r? And youTl try to help u
by devoting yourself a bit to Patricia,
won't you!"
At first raj compaaioa did not belie re
that 1 was in earnest, bat when convinced
of my sincerity his astonishment was in
expressible. I remember that be stam
mered oat some faint objection, but 1
would not listen, and befoic retiring that
night I whispered to mamma that I bad
made it all right with Mr. Sherrington,
and she had only to observ bow nicely 1
would manage the whole matter.
I sent Patricia or! in the morning tn
And arbuta with Mr. Sherrington,
while I waited to receive Mr. R-dtnoad.
When he came I was in the garden, aad
had ordered lunch aa hour earlier than
usual. My pale blue silk looked beauti
ful oa the Iaa grass.
"Pray come and see my tnlipt, Mr
Redmond," I called, as be walked up the
avesce.
He cira, pleased enough, aad as he
was especially fod of fl jwcts, I had nu
dificolty in detaining him for more than
half an boar. Then, seeing him look at
hit watch, I observed ;
"We won't wait laoch for Patricia, for
Mr. Sherrington is with her. They have
gone roaming off after spring flower, and
may aol be back thi tf ree burs. Come
in and have a bit of salad, with a cap ol
chocolate, Mr. R dtaosd. I made the
chocolate myself, aad can rroommcaJ it."
bo I kept him for another half hoar.

Patricia aad Mr. Sherriairtoa came

a profusion of pink arbutus aa hardly to

"He has bees bete. erv nice of voa to

"Clyde has an elder brother Raymond

My amazement allowed me to stammer i

Webster and IlarrisOB.
Harvey's recently published reminis
cences of Webster contain some very inter
esting anecdotes of Ibegteat New Hamp
shire statesman. Among tbe best is one
in which is recounted Webster's expe
rience with Harrison's tendency to dilate
upon Grecian and ll imiu aiTtlra, in hi
spt-eches and inauguraK Webster was
Secretary of State under Harrison in
ISM. Iltrvey asys: General Uariison
arrived at Washlngtoa flora Cincinnati,
about tbe time Mr. Webster arrived from
Massachusetts. Mr. Webster was invited
by Mr. Sealon.oae of tbe editors of tne
2atiiuxl Iit llgaiur, and a very warm
craoaal fnend cf hi, to come to his
bouse, as he w iuld be-more quiet there
and less exposed to an intrusioa than al
a hotel, aad to stay until be got a boose
to move bis family into it. Oi.e day,
among other arrangements, Webster
suggested to tbe new President, ia as
delicate a way as be could, the fact that
be bal sketched aa inaugaral, knowing
that General Harrison wmild be over-
helmed with calls and budness after
hi election, and be hims;lf having I en
ure to write. Tbe General at ouce re
plied that it was not nrctoary, that be
bad prepared hi own insujurai.
-Ob, ye," be said, "I have g t that all
rcadr.""
"Will voa allow me to take it home
and read it b-nightl"' asked Mr-Webster.
"Certainly,' the President replied,
"aad pleas let me take 30c it."
S they exchanged 'he document, aad
the next morniag. whea they met, Gea
eral Harrison aaiii to Mr. Webster:
"If I should read your inaugural in
stead of mine, everybody w-.uld know
that yoa wrote it, and that I did cot.
Now, this I the aly paper which I pro-1
pose to write, for I do not intend to in
terfere with my seen Uric; bat this is aj
sort of acknowledgement oa my fart!
to the American people of the get
honor they have conferred oa me ia ele-1
rating me to this high office; aad al
though, cf coarse, it 1 nt s suitable as !
jours, still it is mine, and I propose ta
let the people have it jostasl have
written iL 1 must deliver my owa la
stead of yours."
Wbea be focad that tbe President was
beat upoa Bsiaghi owa inaaural, Mr.
Webster said hi desire to modify it, aad
to get in some thing that were not there
and get out sme that were there; for a
it then stiiod, be said, it bad no m ire to
do with tbe affairs of the American Gov
ernment aad i Tuple thaa acaapTer in the
Koran. Mr. Webster tagsled to Gen
eral Harrisoa that be should like to pat
in sitae thiols, aaJ General Harrisoa
rather reiuflaatly contented to let him
take it- Mr. Webster speat a purtton of
the next day ia maJif,tg tbe meitae.
Mra.Seaioa remarked tu him when be
came home rather late that day that
he looked fatigued and worried; bat be
replied tht he was sorry that she had
anted dinner forbid. "Tatt I of no
conscqicnce at alt, Mr. Webster," said
she, "oat I am sorry to see joj lookicg
at worried aad ti.e-1. I h pe that noth
ing has gone wring. I really hope that
nothing has happened." "Yoa woalJ
think that something had happened." he
replitd, "if yoa kte what 1 bad done.
