WILLAMETTE FAHMEIt; SALEM, OEEGON, JANUAEY 1G, 1885. 4Jf;!irraif Iptafur Little Miss Ellison's "Fourth-" Miss Julio Ellison wns fooling some whnt disturbed nml nnxious. Slio wns n pretty littlo liuly, well out of tho twenties, having past licr tliirticth birth dn)'. But so busy and engrossed lind boon her dnily lifo firm tho timo of her leav ing school at sixteen, until now, .sho lind long sinco eomo to regard herself as rjuilo a tniddlo agod, sotticd down, mnidon Indy. J Tor pnrontd died during hor child hood and hor homo lind been witlt her undo, aunt and ono cousin, until nt tho ngo of sixteen, sho beenmo nnpronticotl to a milliner, sinco which timo sho had taken caro of herself. After serving a propor timo of appren ticeship, sho had moved to a considera ble di.stuiico from hor fornior home, having heard of a pleasant placo which was quito destitute of n millinur. And horo sho was living in tho pretty villngo of llonvillo whoro her skill at her trade, joined with her nltruutivo person and liuly-liko manners, hud conduced to build tip quito a profitable business. Mill sho lived alonoiu hor littlo rooms over tho store, and always expected to live alone, and if HhoKoiiictiinoi hiiddity droning, such as younger and fresher maidens indulge in, no ono was ever tho wiser for it, nor did they overdo her any harm. Sovornl years boforo, tho undo with whom sho had lived, died, leaving hor aunt and cousin, tho latter a person about her own iigo, in very modernto oirotinistnncos. And now slio nml re ceived a disturbing lettor from tho latter, telling of her aunt's death,' and asking if it would bo agreeable to lmvo hor como and assist her in her husincsx, sho too having been instructed In tho secrets of bonnet-making, but not fooling tho con fidence requisite for starting out for herself. To tell tho truth, tho littlo .Miss Ellison did not exactly want hor cousin to como. Not but what sho, Miss Julio Ellison, was ono of tho most unselfish, kind-hearted persons imaginablo, but thoro worn two reasons wliicli would force themselves upon hor recollection. In tho llrst plueo sho had become recon ciled to regarding herself its a crcaturo of a past fashion, and her natural Incli nation was to doprcciato herself rather too much, "but that was not so bad," sho reflected audibly, "as long as thoro wan only ono of us, but como to lmvo two in tho Hiuno house, I'm afraid people will get sick and tired of us." And then sho was forced to remember that during those days of hapless orphan ago, cousin Francos was not always kind, uonctautly showing n jealous, bus pirotis disposition toward poor .lulie, who wan much tho letter scholar of tho two, which resulted frequsntly in trying distiitlmnci'H, cntiroly tho result of Fran ces's ill-temper. Hut then her undo and aunt had cared for and sheltered her when thoro YViifj ii'J ono else to do ho, and although tljoy, might "have I won morn just and go'ntlo'oii kouu occasions, yot they wcro kindly and well meaning it j. the main. ho it never tor a moment lOiTurmi to little Miss I'llison to refuse Frank's re- quest. , "Hut I don't remain horo," slio tuildiilbiiii to hormdf, following the habit Cfwaliy ternary persons, of conversing wnn inemseives-.-i u iiuven uiuo larger store and more amnio rooni'', ol sovcral years a pot droam, that ho would marry somo beautiful, accomplished lady, and placing hor over his lino estab lishment would imagine-himself tho envy of his neighbors and associates. Mut tho different fair and haughty croaturcs ho had mot at bwoII parties and summer scsorts, would suddenly become repugnant to him, as somo slight tost would almost invariably rovcal their roal characters, selfish and hollow. Ono afternoon when returning from tho city, n littlo lady had entered tho biuiio car with himself, and somethlhg about her winning faco and lady-liko manner, induced him to inquire as to whom sho I woiuler if .tlr. Iiiusmore woiihl ivul mo that no.it little house with tho store in front, on tho Dinsmoro read! "How riuh he must Ih toownso many houses and so much land, but there! he's as nitioh alone, and as poor till' as to folks as 1 am, when it comes to that, though it is not very becoming to mo to b mating comparisons Unwecn him and myself, r mut wiy ;" and the fairly blushed at what scorns her au dacity. "Well now what shall I do!" she asked, "Hero it is the very last day of Juno, close upon tho Fourth, and I think Frank had better come right away to us to help me move, if move I do this summer; but first I'll write a noto to Mr. Uinsiuuro asking if he can let mo have tuo lioiiso; aim come to think of it, I'll write both notes to-night, so us to start them oil' early in tho morning." Sho took up pen mid paper, first care fully directing two envelopes, ono to Mr. Frank Dinsmoro, Itouvillo Heights, the other to Miss Frank Ellison, of C . After ii while she had written a cordial almost loving invitation to Frances, and a respectful, well worded noto to Mr. Pinsmore. Sho had just concluded lioth letters when the friendly postman passed hor door, bowing blandly. Thinking it would save her a trip to the postolllco in the morning, sho asked tho potmnu if he would kindly mail thorn for hor, and s ho readily consented, "with pleasure," sho hastily caught up her missives, plac ing Mr. Diusmore'd note in tho envelope addressed to hor cousin Frank, and en closing the one designed for her, in the cnvclo)o directed to Mr, Dinsmoro. Mr. Frank Dinsmoio was n disappoint ed man. Tho alternate heat nml cold of over forty years had passed over his head, without finding him altogether n wiser, us ho crew an older man. Then ho hud boon an anient lover of gain, and his coH'ora wore overflowing, but their abtindanco failed to satisfy him as ho had expected. It had been also for might kj and tho gentleman noxt him had replied sho was a Miss Ellison, a milliner living in tho narrower part of the village. Mr. Dinsmoro did not pursue his inquiries further, but said to himsolf whllo driving from tho depot to his homo, that ho should cortanly liavo sought an introduction to that sweet looking littlo lady if only sho had not been a trades-woman ; but as usual, thoro wcro counteracting circumstances wherever any special attraction had seemed to present itself to him. So itltotrethcr. at tho nee of forty-two or three, ho had como to regard lifo as a most vexing and unsatisfying problem. And on this particular morning of July 1st, ho was sitting solitary ns usual in his elegant library, ruminating on tho annoying rccollecton that in 11 fuw days would como tho Fourth, when all tho merry youngsters in town would keep up a tooting of horns, n blowing of trum pets, and a coaselcss snapping of lire crackers from midnight to midnight again. What should ho do in tho matter? Ho bolioved ho would go to (ho city tho night before, tako a room at tho hotel, and avoid it all. Just then tho postman's ring mado a littlo rulllo and break in his unenlivcii iug reflections and thcnoxt moment a servant u'lided over tho vclvotcarpot' and handed him a letter. It was a small letter, in a queer littlo cnvolopo of n bygone fashion, and tho liana-wiling neat ami handsome, sug gested to him the hand of a littlo lady. lircuking open tho envelope and be ginning to rend, his look, which at the lirst wits ono of simple curiosity, deep ened into ono of blank nstouishmont and disgust, as ho road the following ro markablo epistlo : "My dear Frank. It would givo me pleasure to sco you nt your very earliest opportunity. I imagine that both of us am lonely onoiich at times, and it may do us great good to moot and talk with each othor. I particulory wish you would como if possible a littlo lwforo tho Fourth, as I am contemplating making somo change immediately after that date if matters worlc according to my desires, in which I should greatly liko your assistance. "It is my hopes that your coming will result in great profit and happiness to us both. It surely will be my aim to further your intorcsts in evory way pos sible. Hoping to sco you soon, I remain, i ours very sincoroly, J run M. Ei.i.isox. Xo. 110 Heach Street, llonvillo, Juno :!0, IS." "What on earth is that woman driving at!" exclaimed M. Dinsmoro angrily, as ho laid tho lettor on his knee mid folded his bauds boforo him, regarding the note as though it was somo distasteful little monster. "What on earth does sho meant" ho replied, "addressing such a letter to mo! I wondorwho or what the takes mo for? Tho very littlo lady too, whose looks only recently so strongly attracted me." up arose, (inn Kuiiigiu-riMH in mu win dow continued less excitedly, "u pretty, modest looking little woman oh ever I saw, the very last person in the world I should ever imagine could bo guilty of this;"' and he glanced more leniently at the little sheet still held closely in his hand. 'i don't know," he added slowly, "but it would be the very best punishment I could inllict, to maich boldly down there and ask an cxplinutioii of hor singular communication. Hut no, that is just what she apparently wants mo to do." All day long, Mr. Dinsmore resolved, wavered and lv-roolvcd, until by the time the tardy twilight came slowly on, ho was in a state of mind, to niv the least, very unusual for u man of gener ally prompt mid firm conclusions. To his own surpriso ho discovered that down deep in his heart, was nu inex pressible desire to go mid find out littlo Miss Ellison's motives in mUhcssim: him with such freedom and presumn lion. The idea of there being tiny mis take in the matter never once occurred to him, but the most tantalizing con sideration of all, was his utter inability to reconcile tho looks and bearing of littlo Miss Ellison with a letter of Unit character. Once or twice tho thought crossed his mind that some one else might bo play ing a mean joke on either himself or tlio lady, but Unit seeming unlikely, ho finally dismissed the idea as a most impossible one, "Well, bother it alll" ho exclaimed impatiently, Til go at nil events and see what she can say to clear up tho mystery ;" nml ringing a bell, ho ordered his carriage, and entering it soon after, directed tho coachman to drivo to Xo. :10 Heach Street. Looking from her window, ns tho stars cames slowly pooping out, Httl Miss Ellison saw Mr. Dinsmoro alighting from his carriage. "Why, he's como himself to tell mo about tho house; how ijcod of hiinl"sho said to herself, and almost immediately upou tho ringing of tho boll, tho door oponoa ana littlo .Miss Ellison, modest nud blushing, invited Mr. Dinsmoro to walk up to tho sitting-room. Once seated, without cmb.irrassmont or tho least apparent confusion, tho littlo lady informed her cnllcr sho supposed ho had boon kind enough to como per sonalty to talk witli hor about tho rout ing of his house And without waiting for n reply, sho went on to say, that her prcsont quarters being somo wlint con tracted it was her object to securo more commodions ones, mid it socnicd to her tho hottso on Dinsmoro road would ex actly answer hor purpose. This was a practical turn of events for which Mr. Dinsmoro was hardly prepared. Hero was a remarktiblo pleas ing littlo lady, making n simplo busi ness proposal, in well-worded epeech en tirely freo from tho least approach to undue iroodom or familiarity. Ho noticed her small and wclbshapcd hands ; also what a neatly Blippcrcd, tiny foot peeped from beneath tho muslin rulllo of hor dress. Tho plants blooming in tho window scorned fresher and swoot er than tho profusion of flowers in his own ample beds, and tho trim, tarlatan covered bird cago had n homo-liko and simplo, ho nlmost sighed nt tho total absence of anything liko sentiment in tho littlo lady's yot so dainty manner. Poor Mr. Dinsmoro was moro prcplox cd than ovor. That she had written to him, was demonstrated beyond tho shadow of a doubt, but. how could sho so apparently ignore with such cool caso the real tono of her invitation. "Sho may bo a clover actress," ho rc iloetod. "at all events I will, sound her somewhat; tho letter slio wroto justifies my doing eo." Every word of that lotter wasclcaily in his mind's eye. and as a first allusion to its singular sentences, ho suggested that sho must bo very lonely living by horsolf. Her fair faco flushed a little, as sho replied that sho had become used to solitude, not only becauso of hor living alone, but hor early orphnnaKO had loft her a very loncsomo child, nud ns tho years rolled on sho had known nothing bolter. "Hut now," sho nddod cheerfully, "I am contemplating making quito a change, unconsciously quoting tho words of her lotter. "Yes, so I understood," ho replied dryly. "Oh. I don't mean only nB rogards moving," sho rejoined hastily, "but I am anticipating having a companion very soon, so I am particularly glad I can liavo tho othor houso." Thou ho thought ho would sound her a little furthor. "1 hope tho arrange ment will result in great profit and happiness to you both," ho remarked gravely. Something which sounded familiar in his phraso mado littlo Miss Ellison Hush again slightly, which Mr. Dismoro im mediately charged to an awakened conscience, but the practical reply, that of courso romainod to bo proved, rather non-plussou mm. 'I uclievo you particularly wishod to boo mo before tho Fourth," ho remnrked, still quoting. "Yes," sho ropliod, but I oxpectod to call and sco you, instotul of troubling von to como so far. You aro vory kind, and I'm greatly obliged, I am indeed," slio added, uemuroly. "What a sly puss a woman is, to bo sure!" rellected Mr. Dinsmoro: "but I'm not quito done with you yot, my littlo lady, ' ho mlueu mentally. "1 supposo you would greatly liko my assistance in moving," ho observod. Auaiu that conscious ilush, as if at somo vnguo rccolloction caused by his words, but she luistonwl to assure him thoro was no wuv in which ho could possibly do so, and her genu i no look of surprise at so strango a proposal, again ballled and half voxed him. "I will mnkealast dosporato attompt," ho thought. "If von should have occasion to ad dress mo again, Miss Ellison," ho said, "I trust you will remember that my name is Frank." A puwled look was her only answer, then so grieved nnexpression spread over hor face, that Mr. Dinsmoro woro would have given much to recall tho remark. He felt convinced that had Miss Ellison mado any vorbal reply it would lmvo been, "I took you for a gcntlomnn." Taking as jrucoful a leave us possible, ho drove rapidly at home, and standing before the mirror in his own richly furnished chamber he paid hinuclf a memorable compliment. "Frank Dins- more! you're the most mistaken, tin gentlemanly follow I happen to be ac quainted with. Mr. Dismore's call had left little Miss Ellison in a mixed stato of mind. Sho was pleased at having secured tho houso desired, but was tried at his remark concerning her matter of addressing him. "Can it bo," sho asked herself, "that I liavo mado a mistake! Yet overyJKidy calls him Frank, and it cortninly was considered proper to use n gentleman's full nnnio in writing an address whon I was taught such things." Tho morning of tho third of July, Mr. Dinsmoro was slowly pacing tho front piazza, when the postman camo up tho steps. After exchanging n fow friendly words tho postman remarked : "1 found n littlo lady in somo per plexity this morning, concerning your name; it was littlo Miss Ellison of Bench street, Sho said sho had address ed you as Mr. Frank Dinsmoro, but feared there was somo mistake. I told hor sho was all right, and I remember," ho added, "that I mailed a couple of letters for her ft few evenings ago, ono addressed to you, and tho other to a Misd Frank somebody. It looked kind of funny to boo tho saino given name on two lettors, and ono for a lady nud tho othor for a gontloman. Good-day, eir," and tho postman continued his rounds. Then Mr. Diusmoro's naturally acuto sensos cmo to his assistance Tho companion littlo Miss Ellison was ex pecting, wns tho Mis3 Frank somebody, and by mistako ho had received her letter. "What a dolt and idiot ho had mndo of himself, to bo surol Mut ho would go tho noxt night, tho night of tho i'ourth, and as kindly as possiblo, cxplnin hor mistake, and assure her it was tho merest mishap possible. "I'd go t-night," ho soliloquized, "only that othor Frank has probably just arrived, eo instead of going to tho city I'll remain hero and make a Fourth of July call. IIo wns surprisod and half vexed to find what a rcliof it was to discover littlo Miss Ellison was probably tho modest littlo lndy sho had always appoarod, and takon ono of tho piazza easy chairs, ho sat dreaming of how homo-liko and comforlablo her cozy room had looked, how delicate hor hands were, and half uncon8ciously ho reflected on tho way tho tiny, slippered foot had peeped from tho muslin rulllo. There was undeniably a plcasurablo sensation somowhoro around his heart, at tho anticipation of making n second call on littlo Miss Ellison. Just then tho crack of a small pistol disturbed his meditations. "I declare," ho' said, "tho bovs aro beginning to celebrate already.' How loin: Mr. Dinmoro had boon sleeping that night is uncertain, but ho was HUilueniy awakctiou ny uio cry or. "firol" Springing up ho looked from tho window in a direction opposite, and at nuita a littlo distauco ho saw tho flames wcro making rnpid headway. Hailing n boy who was passing, ho in quired where tho flro was, and tho boy called back, "thoy say it's somo woman's houso over on Beach street." In about flvo minutes, Mr. Frank Dinsmoro, tho wealth, easy-going bache lor of fortv-two or thros, was hurrying along tho villagostrcots towards tho fire. Arriving nt Heach street, his worst fears woro realized littlo Miss Ellison's pretty tenement was enveloped in flames, and she wosstandlni: watching it half-drcsscd a shawl thrown over her shoulders mm tho tnilctan-eovorcd bird cago in her hands. A loud-voicod woman was just saying with crude but gonuino Kindness: "You'd liotter ft great sight como to my houso and not stand a watching them plants burn up. Taint no uso cryin' over split milk, 'spocially you that has been that kind to poor loiKs that doors enough '11 open for you. and I sh'd think, loncsomo ns you'vo been, 'twould 1)0 pleasant like to go where there's folkB for a change" Mr. Dismoro .vas cloco enough to sco tho heart-sick look on tho pretty faco, and stepping up to hor and gently biking tno bird-cago, ho said nlmost in a tono of nuthority; "Miss Ellison, you miiRtcomn homo with mo immediate! v: my houso-kecpor will bo glad to mako you comfortnulo, you look tired and worn." Sho turned liko an obedient child, and t aid ntr his profi'ercd arm, he realized that she was trembling ho violently it was with diflicultB sho walked or spoko. "I eupposo this involves quite a loss for you," ho snid kindly. "Yes," sho answered wearily, but I'm used to losses, and I'm ho thankful to liavo saved Dicky." "How did it como about, I wonder," he said half to himsolf. "Thoy sfty a firo cracker lodged on tho roof, but it doos not signify. I shall liavo to skirt again," oho said with a deary littlo lnugli,"and I do not caro ho much for myself, but others will liavo to feel my misfortuncB of to-night j that troubles mo most." Tho housekeeper did mako littlo Miss Ellison very comfortable for tho remain der of tho night, but in a fow hours it was timo to arise, and proparo as best sho could for breakfast. When sho entered tho dintiing-room, Mr. Dinsmoro was amused and surprisod to seo how differently Miss Ellison looked in ono of the housekeeper's dresses than that functionary did horsolf, for although 'twas "a mile too big for such a littlo lady," as kindly Mm. Keats said, yet nothing seemed to sot ungracefully on littlo Miss FJIison's trim figure. Mr. Dinsmoro had not closed his eyes sinco returning from tho lire, but during hours of careful reflection, ho had nbout decided what ho should Bay to his pretty littlo guest in tho morning. After breakfast ho led tho way to tho library. Hy dint of n fow woll-directcd questions, ho learned tho simplo story of hor lonely lifo, and noticed how un selfishly sho regretted not being longer able to exteud to "poor cousin Frnnk," her needed assistance. "But why not lot her como aud build up tho business for hereon, tho enme as you had dono? " ho asked. bho looked at him mamnzement. "I must go this niomont," sho said, raising, with a cheery Inugh, "anil seo what 1 can do nbout first building it up again for myself." "Miss Ellisonl" an expression of suoh embarrassment for a moment swept ovor Mr. Dinsmor's faco that without know ing why, littlo Miss Ellison blushed painfully. "Miss Ellison," ho repeated, "ploaso remain seated while I tell you something. I am convinced you recently made a slight mistake which I hopo will will rosult in great happiness to us both. You unconsciously mind I say un consciously invited me ns I supposed, to visit mid help yoii, and whnt I now propose doing is to simply reverse tho style of invitation and beg you will re main hero and holp mo." Littlo Misa Ellison being utterly in tho dark as to his meaning, there was a moment of silence. ''You ovidently sent mo by mistake ;" continued Mr. Dinsmore, smiling, "tho lettor intended for your cousin Frank ; but nover mind una ho hurried on, "I repeat emphatically what I have already proposed ; why not lot your cousin come and tako your trade, and you stay and be my companion. I'm suro never was companionship moro needed, never could littlo friend bo moro warmly welcomed or appreciated." Littlo Miss Ellison wns not naturally obtuse, nevertheless it took Mr. Dins moro ft long timo to convinco hor of tho entire sincerity of his proposal. Mut by tho timo tho pale stars camo out and thoy wcro Bcrcncly seated closo besido ench other on tho piazza settee, matters had been settled so beautifully for tho future that oach know it wns tho happiest "Fourth" thoy had ovor dream ed of. I And a year aftorwards, whon Miss Frank Ellison was doing a flourishing business as tho milliner of llonvillo, littlo Mrs. Frank Diusmoro's. stting with her ono ovening on tho piazza settoo, told, half seriously and half Fcriously and half laughinglo, of her 'blcssod littlo mistako," which cortninly had resulted "in great benefit and happiness," to her dear husband and horsolf.
