Upon a luinuiei's day,

If she had only been a dressmaker or
a milliner it would have been ttiH'er
eut, but painting Mrs. Merkle be
lieved to besynoniymous with worth
le suess. And she wrote Tom to
that effect, saying that he miht as
well have chosen a circus rider while
he was about it.
A few days after that a well built
girl of twenty entered Mrs. Merkle's
front yard and presented her with a
note. It was from Tom, 'and in it
he said he would not bring his wife
to see her until invited, since she felt
so put out about his marriage, but as
she was in need of good help he sent
down Jane Jackson, who would work
a week without wages for the benefit
of the country air. "Did you work
for Mr. Tom?" asked the old lady
looking at the girl over hecglasses.
"I suppose that new wife of his ain't
much account around a house."
"All that was done I did," said the
girl.
"I suppose so," said Mrs. Merkle,
shaking her head. "Poor Tom! well
you can stay, for I'm most laid up
with the rhumutiz. Trunk at the
depot? I'll have it fetched.',
Jane Jackson, thus welcomed,
stayed, and a hue, helpful young per
son she proved to be. Nothing
about a house that she could not do.
rler cooking was perfect. Her laun
dry v. oik was clegaut. And yet she
was as lady-like is any one. The
house tidied, she made the old lady's
gowns and caps and a thousand pret
ty things for the ld parlor.
"You really are the smartest girl I
ever knew," said Mrs. -Merkle one
day. "Poor you may be but you'd
be a treasure to any man; and there's
my sou married to that painting
thiug iu New York. Starved ami
out at elbows and all his buttons oil'
by this time, I suppose, while she
daubs."
"l'id you ever see any one paint?"
asked Jane.
"Duly the man who done the doors
and window frames five years a;o."
said Mrs. Merkle.
' I can paiut a little," said Jane.
"After everything is done I mean to
paiut you a picture, it you'll let me."
"I don't mind," said the old lady.
"1 believe you cau do anything,
Jane."
That day Jane produced from her
trunk a sketching book and colors,
and pioceeded to paint the gray cat
lyin:, on a crimson cushion.
"It's the naturalists picture I ever
saw," said Mrs. Merkle. "Did you
catch it up from Tom's wife?"
"Oh,- no; a better painter than she
will ever be taught me," said Jane.
" No doubt,' replied Mrs. Merkle.
"A poor critter she is, don't you
think so?"
r "I've no great idea of her myself,"
said Jane. '
The. next' day she sketched Mrs.
Merkle in her rocking-chair. "As
natural," the old lady declared, "'as
a photograph." And having white
washed the kitchen until it looked
like hot pressed writing paper on
Saturday afternoon, she opened the
parlor organ on Sunday evening and
played all the good old church music
the old lady loved. When she had
done she turned about, -and to her
surprise found the old lady in tears.
Ah! What is the matter?" she
cried, running to . her and . kneeling
down. "Why do yon cry sof

"Very well, Jane." said Mrs. Mer

Jane smiled, promised and depart
ed, That evening the old lady sat
alone when the stage stopped at the
door.
"Jane back again?" she said, and
hurriei to open it. On the porch
stood her sen, who clasped her in his
arms.
Dear mother," he said, "haveu't
you a kiss for me?"
She gave him one and drew him by
the arm.

"Hasn't she manners enough to

old lady.
"Perhaps 1 had better take ner

"Now she a here she d better stay
awhile, I snould say," said the old
ady coldly.
"Here. Mrs. Merkle. we're wait
ing for you," cried Tom merrily.
A lady, in elegant travtliu- dress,
her face hidden by a blue veil,
walked up the steps.
"My wife, mother," said Tom.
"How do you do?" said the ni l
lady stiffly. "Walk in."
She led the way into the parlor;

"Take off your veil, Jane," saiu
Tom.
And the blue veil wis lifted, and
Jane Jackson's pretty face smiled be

"Mother," said she, "will you kiss
me?"
"But what have you done with
your wif;? What does this mean?"
gasped Mrs. Merkle.
"It means that I am Tom's.wife,"
said Jane, "and that he has never
had any other. When 1 heard your
opinion of me, I made up my mind
to alter it. I took back ny maiden
