CHAPTER XI.
Mapletvood owned a garden of very
tolernblo dimensions, but it was already
crowded when the Merles nmdc tholr np
pearauce at the fete on Thursday after
noon. The lawn was covered by gayly
dressed people ; tennis had not yet begun
but the band was playing. As soon ns
Alison had greeted her hostess she looked
round anxiously for Anna. She had no
desire to linger beside Mrs. llardwick
the hnmtome. talkative widow had nl
ready excited liex aversion. As she turned
away in search of her friend, Miss Hard
wick came up to them In company with
o tall, dark man;
"Mabel, dear," she said, almost Ignor
ing Alh-on, "I must introduce Tony to
you my cousin, Captain Harper. Tony
this is my especial friend, and 1 shall ex
peet you to pay her a great deal of at
tentlon, on peril of inv. displeasure."
"I nm too happy to perform such n
pleasing duty, I am sure," lisped Am
thony, but his bold black eyes passed over
JJiosies simpering pretty little face to
Alison s.
"Is tills another special friend of yours,
r.va t he observed, twisting his mus
tache and looking full at her as ho spoke.
Miss llardwick made the introduction
i-omewhat reluctantly; Alison bowed a lit
tle haughtily; she was not prepossessed
with Captain Harper's appearance, and
she determined to have as little-as possl
ble to do with him; he seemed about to
fcponk to her, but she turned suddenly to
Miss Hn'rdwick.
"I do not see your sister," she said, in
n low voice.
"Oh, I daresay 'not," she answered,
carelessly. "I never knew Anna ever
ready for anything : she is not half dress-
ed, I suppose. Now, Tony, you mus:
take Mnbel for yonr partner in the first
pet, and Edgar Dawson and Miss Fret-
land will play agaiust yon."
"We had Itetter take our places then,
drawled Captain Harper; and, left to lier
self, Alison turned to Roger and asked
him to walk with her to the house.
"I am going in search of Anna." she
said as she left him, and she asked one
of the sen-ants who wejust entering the
tea room to take 'her to Anna's bedroom,
The maid looked surprised, but she put
down her tray at once and preceded AH
son upstairs.
"That is Miss Anna's room," she said,
pointing to the door; "she is dressing, I
believe. A hamper of flowers came, and
she has only just finished arrangin
them."
"I dare say I shall be able to help her,"
returned Alison, knocking at the door,
"ity dear child," exclaimed Alison, in a
surprised voice; as she entered, "why, you
have not begun to dress." for Anna was
standing at the window in her gray linen
gown, evidently watching the gay scene,
but the tears were rolling down her
cheeks.
"Oh, I can not dress now," she sobbed
as Alison kissed her, "it is so late, and I
nm so tired; Eva said the flowers must
be done, and I . have only just finished
them. I saw Mr. Roger and you and
Mabel come In, and I did so long to come
out, but now I am just tired out, and I
can't stop crying."
"Oh, you will cheer np directlyj and
I am going to stop and help you," re
turned Alison, brightly. "Bathe your
eyes with some eau-de-cologne and water;
I will be back in a moment." And run
ning downstairs Alison made her way into
the tea room, and after a few words with
the good-natured maid she had already
accosted, she was soon provided with a
enp of coffee and some delicious looking
cake.
"Xow you are to leave off crying and
take these good things I have brought
you,." coaxed Alison, "and then I will help
you to dress. You are tired and wor
ried, but the coffee will refresh you."
But Anna's answer was a fresh burst of
tears, as she threw her arms round her
neck.
"Oh, how kind you are to me. I do love
you so; no one ever took such trouble for
me before."
"Then you must thank me by enjoying
the coffee," laughed Alison, but a sym
pathizing ('rap hung on her own lashes.
Nevertheless, she talked on cheerfully un
til Anna had dried her eyes and drunk
her coffee, and then she coaxed her to
let her brush her hair and arrange it.
Anna sat quite patient and docile under
Alison's hands; she did not even look at
herself till the pretty cream colored dress
was fastened, and the flowers arranged,
and then Alison led her to the glass.
"Why, I look quite different; what
have you done to me?" observed Anna, in
a bewildered tone. "I am not like my
self at all."
"You have never taken enough pains
with your appearance," she replied.
They were met In the halt by Iloger
and Captain Harper; the gentlemen were
evidently in search of them.
"I thought you had Jost yourself, Ah
He," observed Koger ; and as he turned to
her companion a low whlstlo of astonish
ment broke from his lips, and was at once
promptly suppressed.
"I did not know you, Miss Anna," was
all he ventured to say, but both Alison
and Anna colored with pleasure under
the approving look he hestowed on them.
"Miss Merle, I hope, now I have taken
ell this trouble to find you, that you
will not refuse to be my partner In this
set," asked Captain Harper, so eagerly
that he had almost forgotten fiis usual
drawl. -
Alison assented rather coldly, but her
reluctance vanished when she found Roger
and Anna meant to oppose them. She
almost forgot her dislike to her partner
during the long, well contested game,
which soon drew a crowd of Spectators
round them; her skill and animation de
lighted Captain Harper. Missio was
watching them rather curiously.
"I did not know Alison was such a good
player," she said at last, when Era Joined
her. "Captain Harper did not exert him
solf quite so much when he played with
me," with a displeased toss of her head.
''lie. knows wo art watching him, darl- j
Inr, and that puts him on nla mettle," re
turned her friend, soothingly,
"Really, Eva," Mabel said presently,
"I never saw Anna look so wall f
Miss llardwick turned her Ions nock1
superciliously', and regarded her sister
wiiiv surprise. .
"Thnt tnllf lA AII.An. ,1AW" .lio -oM
with evident pleasure; "Anna never did

her handsome face clouded still more
when Missie proceeded to take her to
task.
"You ought to look after her a little
more, Eva," said Missie. "You have so
much .tnste yourself you ought to help her

The rest of the afternoon passed like

ing oft" Captain Harper by infusing into
uer manner 'n fine degree of girlish hau
teur and coolness not pnsllv in hit miu
tnken. the three sat together, passing
kindly remarks on tho rest of the com-.
pany.
Rut the crowning happiness of the tt
tornoon to Auna was when Mlssfn Ad
dressed her in tho condescending mannpr
oi one who comers, a benefit.
"You have not been .to see us lately."
she said, qulto graciously. "I have told
Eva that she must bring you sometimes
to talk to Alison." And after this Anna's
cup of jpy seemed overflowing.
CHAPTER XII.
"Thank you, Mabel dear, for what you
have said to Anna," said Alison, grateful
ly, as tnoy left tito grounds of Manlewood
"Oh, of course. 1 gave Eva a piece of
my mind, bhe is always so rcasonnbh
nd sweet-tempered that I never have anv
difficulty. Anna may come to The Holms
as often as she likes." Then, with n
perceptible effort to. seem at her ease, she
continued hurriedly : "Eva is going to
onng Her cousin to nftcrnoon tea to-mor
row. I hope it will bo fine, and then we
can set. the table under the lime trees:
our drawing room is such an ugly room.'
'Do you mean Captain Harper is com
ing.' returned Alison. "Oh, Mabel! how
could you ask him? I nm sure papa will
not be ideas-d. I do not like him at all :
his manners are so artificial and dis
agreeable."
"It is a pity you did not stop nt River-
ston, she returned, in an injured voice.
for none of our Chesterton folk, with
die exception of thnt stupid Anna, seem
good enough for yon. I think Captain
Harper charming, and I am sure papa
will be pleased with him unless you set
him against the poor fellow." And here
Missie looked decidedly cross.
"You may be sure that I shall say noth
ing to papa, replied Alison, with so much
dignity that Missie was silenced. Rut
she wus terribly annoyed all the same, and
took Itoger into her confidence, exacting
from him a promise that he would be pres
ent ut all risks.
"Perhaps I am wrong," she remarked.
candidly ; "I am always so ready with my
likes and dislikes. But I can not bear
Captain Harper, and it is odious to' me
to pour out his tea for him."
Alison's anxiety was soon set at rest
The party from Maplewood, Including
Anna, had not long been gathered under
the llmo trees before Mr. Merle made his
appearance, greatly to her delight and
Missie's discomfiture. Alison never found
out if Roger had betrayed her trust and
given his father warning of the expected
guest. But there was no mistaking the
coolness of his manner to Captain Har
per. That unlucky Individual was clearly
not at his ease, and certainly no induce
ment was held out to him to repeat his
visit.
As soon as the unwelcome visitor had
departed Mr. Merle expressed himself as
much displeased to find Captain Harper
there; Indeed, his severity quite over
whelmed Missie, and she retired in floods
of tears.
"Papa is never angry with me," she
sobbed ; "this must be your fault, Alison.
You have come home to stir up strife and
turn papa against me.
"Don't be absurd, Mabel," returned Ali
son, a little crossly; "you have brought it
all on yourself. Papa seems pngry with
me, too, and yet you know I am not at
all in fault. If you do wrong you must
bear to be scolded. Papa says bo is
quite shocked at our forwardness. You
see, he blames me, too. He says.no one
but himself or Roger ought to invite gen
tlemen to the house, and Miss Leigh says
the same. He told me after you left the
room that he would take care that Cap
tain Harper should not repeat his visit.
as he was not the sort of roan whose ac
quaintance ho could approve - for his
daughters."
' Missio dissolved into fresh tears on
hearing this. "I am sure it is not papa's
real opinion," she persisted in saying.
Roger had put him up to it to spite hor
and Eva. What would Eva say if she
were forbidden to bring her cousin to
The Holms? She wished Alison would
go back to Aunt Diana, and not stop
here to make her so wretched. She did
not sec tho use of having a sister who
hated and thwarted her.
"Oh, you silly child!" exWalmed All-
son, kissing the wet, ill-tempered little
face that still looked so pretty. "What a
storm in a teacup! I don't hate you a
bit. I am very fond of you, though you
will quarrel with mo about every trifle;
but it takes two to quarrel properly, and
do not mean to take up the cudgels to
please you I" And here she gave her
a playful shake, that so astonished Mis
sie that she speedily grow more amiable,
for her temper bad never been so set
aside before.
Roger had been looking very worried
and careworn for somo days, and Alison
was afraid, from her father's grave face
and silence with his son, that things had
gone wrong again at the mill, and that,
ns usual,, the blame had been laid on
Roger. She was waiting for an opportu
nity to speak to linn, for his engagements
had taken him out several nights, when
one evening she met him as she was re
turning front I ho town.
Ho was walking along rather moodily,
with his eyes fixed on tho ground, and
did not see Alison until she called him
by noire; and then he looked up and his
face brightened in a moment.
"Where have you been, Allle?" he ask
ed, smiling at her; and Rpger's smile was
very pleasant. "The house felt dull with
out you," ioI came out for a solitary
prowl'
"Very we.l, you shall have your fcvowH
only It will not bo solitary any longer,
for 1 nm not tired in the least, and mean
to como, too."
I "Very well, then," ho said, leading tho
way toward" a quiet, "shady road, "I am
Just in the right mood for a talk, and
you aro the right sort of company."
"I am so glad I satisfy you, Roger," she
said, looking nt him nffeetlonntcly, "I
wish all brothers were liko you, and cared
TVS much for their sisters."
"So they would. If nil sisters were your
K?tt," was his flattering answer; only
Roger meant what ho said. "Allle, of
cijoe 1 know you will go back to Aunt
Dlnna ono day, but you must promlso
uW not to leave us just yet."
"Oh, Roger, of course not. How could
I go while you wanted me?"
"My donr,. In that case you would never
leave us at all., No, no, I am riot quite
so selfish ns that. One day you shall go,
Alitor but not just yet, not till things
are more settled, and we nre all happier.
Do you know, dear, I wonder sometimes
how I held on those two years without
you ; your absence made me miss mother
more." Aud Roger's lip trembled a llttlo.
Alison pressed 'his arm without speaking;
there was no need for other words be
tween them,' they were so sure of each
(Other's sympathy.
"Roger, I wish you would tell mo what
has been troubling you for tho last few
days," sho said. "Something has
gone very wrong; you have been
terribly grave nil the week, and
yesterday you were too worried to cat
properly. I hope you mean to tnko me
into your confidence, dear; perhnps I
could find some way of helping you."
"I wish you could, Allie." he returned,
sadly; "I wish I could see n way out of
our terrible difficulties. Promise mo you
will be ns secret ns n statue, and I will
tell you a little of what has happened."
"Oh, you may trust me," jbIic replied,
lifting her honest brown eyes to his face.
"I believe I may, and it will be a re-v
lief to speak. Allie, Fergusson is going too
far: 1 am convinced iu my own mind that
he has tampered with the accounts; we
shall come to a crash directly."
"What do you mean?" turnlng-ji little
pale. Roger spoke so vehemently.
"It would take too long to tell you all,
but something very unpleasant has hap
pened this week. You know my father
went to Lancaster the other day. Well, a
check in payment for a consignment of
timber was unexpectedly paid in during
his absence. Of course I indorsed the
check, wrote out n receipt, inclosed it in
an envelope and put It in the usual rack
for postage. I then made nn entry in the
ledger, and was just going (o look up the
ledger aud the .check in the safe, as it
was nearly time for closing, wlion tho sud
den cessation of the machinery told me
some accident had happened, and of
course I ran out of the office, and so did
Eergusson, our mannger." .
"Oh, I know ! when poor Mitchell was
hurt," returned Alison, with a shudder.
"I remember seeing both you and Mr. Fer
gusson standing bare headed among the
men in the yard ; you were sending Timo
thy for n doctor."
"Yes; I was detained for nearly half an
hour. Fergusson must have gone back to
the office at least I miffed him after the
first few minutes. When they had taken
Mitchell off to the lipspltal,I went back to
lork up things for 1be night. Fergusson
was just coming out of the office and
handed me the keys. Everything was
locked up, he said, and the messenger bail
fetched the letters. I bad put the check
into my father's private drawer and had
lockpd the drawer, but the ledger had been
left open on the table, with my entry writ
ten on the top of a blank page. I had
noticed the page wn a llttlo loose, as
though the corresponding one had been
cut out some time previously, but I- was
in a hurry, and I thought it did not mat
ter. When Fergusson told me everything
was locked up for the night and handed
me the office keys, of course there was
nothing for me but to take them. Allie,
what do you suppose were my feelings
when we opened the private drawer the
next morning and there was no check
there? Neither was my entry In the led
ger; the loose page was gone, and, to add
to my perplexity, the firm who had paid
in the check wrote to complain that there
had been no acknowledgment or receipt;
and yet I had written both myself and
placed the stamped envelope among the
other letters, for jKWtage."

BY WIRELESS. J
Speaking about gratitude, remarked
the wireless telegraph operator of tho
steamship Comanche, reminds me of tho
time I tried to rescue a United States
battleship, We were running down off
Hatteras one rough night when, about
midnight, I heard some one trying to
send a wireless message In the govern
ment code to the naval station nt ilcau
fort, South Carolina. I liuppciicd to
know the naval code Continental
Morse, they call It and I copied tho
message as follows:
"From U, S. S. Johnston,
"To Commandant, Rcuufort, 8. C.
"Find It ImiMMHlble to laud In bouts.
Sea growing fast. Cun you send tug
alongside to take us off?
"(Signed) Captain X."
The Johnston oixjrntor repeated It
soveral tlmou. Finally I heard Reau
fort give his O. IC. Then came the
reply :
"From Roaufort, 8. C,
To Captain X U. 8. H. Johnston.
"Must try to land at Fort Point.
Cannot Bond help until daybreak. Will
show red light at host point on liach.
"Signed) Commandant 55."
I read tho message twice to sue If I
wore awake. Only ono conclusion seem
ed possible a United stutea miiii-of
war wrecked somewhere along tho HnO
tents shoals a rising sea noielp for
hours.
With visions of a personal letter from
the Secretary of War, not to mention
the gratltudo of a nation a house mid
lot, probably I tuned up my spark,
yanked ovor tho switch and Called tho
Johnston. Getting his "CI. A" go
ahead I shot this to htm :
"From S. S. Comanche, off Hatteras,
"To U. S. S. Johnston.
"Whore aro you and what la the

Tho answer camo:

It hurt pur feelings some,
