OUT OP A FAMILY JAR.
IIY EMIIiY V WIIKELKR.
It was all very well to vow and pro
test that tho next time wo would bo
moro discreet, and that, whatever wo
saw or heard at Letty's, wo would
hold our tongues. But when tho next
time came, nnd sho went into hysterics
over Bob, nnd declared ho cared noth
ing for her, and never had, wo couldn't
help nodding ncquicsccnce to a friend
ly neighbor who suggested that our
sister-in-law was extremely sensitivo
and high-strung. Then it went back
to Lotty that wo said sho was a hys
tcrical gooso and absurdly jealous of
poor Bob; and then sho declared that
wo had no moro feeling for her than a
stone, and always had looked down
on her becnuso sho was a poor girl,
and sho should think a wifo had somo
rights, if sho didn't bring her husband
a fortune, as all tho Graham girls would
to theirs, if they over succeeded in got
tingany. Andso thero wo wero with tho
prettiest family squabblo possiblo on
our hands.
Tho worst of it was, it was Biich an
old ono.
"Wo should havo learned wisdom by
experience: but though wo know Lct-
ty was a weak little thing, and all her
fondness for Bob taking tho shnpo of
absurd jealousy ovcnofhisownfainily,
wo could nover got used to it. Sho was
such a sweet littlo creaturo when ho
married her, soft-eyed and low-voiced,
and mccK as a iamb, appealing to us
over everything, from tho weddingcako
to tho form of tho ceremony. Wo
hadn't renlly minded it that sho wns
poor, for a tho urahams wero rich now,
twenty years ago thoy wero not, and
if Bob had been brought up liko a
pnnco, as heir to tho factories and tho
Htores and tho rows of tenant-houses,
w, his three elder sisters, had known
something of tho other sido of tho ta
pestry in tho -hard tunes when father
laid tho foundation of that fortune,
and though wo lived in a big house
now, and had our servants and our
carriage, and led society, in a way, in
tho littlo town, we nover meant to put
on airs. I think, indeed, wo wero hot
ter democrats than Lotty, for wo nov
er thought of these tilings, and sho
nover had them out ot hor mum,
and was supersensitive to anv ref
eroncotoherforniorcondition. Wo had
thought it Kiieh a pretty romanco
when Bob married her, picking hor
out of a mill accident tho first week
sho went thero to work, and falling in
lovo with her at sight, and taking no
end of trouble to got hor widowed
mother into something nico and quiet
nnd profitable, so that Lotty need
nover go back to tho mills. And
presently ho installed Mrs. Dent as
queen-dowager of tho homo to which ho
took Letty, and that was tho begin
ning of tho inischeif. MVs. Dent was
twico a.s suspicious as sho, and never
lot hor shut her eyes to the family dis
dain of Copliot ua's choice. Shu wns
email nnd slight and low-voiced, this
queen-dowager of ours, and so per
fectly womanly, nn every ono said,
though why there's anything un
womanly in fivo feet six and avoirdu-
Iiois to correspond, as our Pamela
uid, is moro than I know. But 1
notico that little woman always lay
tho fluttering unction to their souls
that superiority is in invoreo ratio to
eizo.
Tho special trouble was that when
Letty got jealous kIio had hysterics,
nnd after Dr. Grey hinted that some
thing was tho matter with her
heart, of courso wo wero always
nnxiouB. Sho was very delicate,
that was truo, and when she was
herself sho was iu swcot and nlfee
tiomito as possible, and wo all vfettod
and .spoiled her. And then Bob would
walk homo from choir meeting with thu
soprano (nearly old enough to be his
mother), or sing duets with with May
iriemming (nnd sho engaged), or pick
up a tired mill girl in his buggy, and
thoro wus Lotty in tears, and tho
liousofihut up, and tho doctor sont
for, nnd Mrs. Dent on guard, and Hob
on his knees for sins ho nover dreamed
of, and wo indignant, and sure, sooner
off later, to show it and bo banished
from tho sick-room. Of courso, being
nil she had, Mrs. Dont was very fond
of hor, but between her prido and Lot
ty's jealousy poor Bob had a life of
it.
"There'll bo no penco in tho family
till Mrs. Dent dies," said Pamela, our
eldest.
"Or is married," added I. "Thoro's
as much hopo of ono ns tho. other.
Sho's fair nnd forty bettor chances
f lifo than you or I, Pam."
"Oh, uho'd never marry," Pam de
clared. "Sho would nover loavo Lotty.
Jf eho would, thoro would bosomohopo
lor Bob; and ho'a such a dear good ,
fellow, if they didn'l expect impoesii
hilitics; for, because alio don't caro lor
music, is lio novel to no to concerts,
orco'mo over hero for nn evenitm oj
sinKinc ho with tholxBttonorin Hock'
dale? Oh, it'o nil very well to any it'u
because sho's ailing, and I in sure J
nopo it will bo better after tho baby
coiics; but I don't think it's a nice
w08Dct for Rob."
'The.? b? tlio lirst year is always
tio kndst," Annio said. "It's just
excess ot nfK'ction on her part, you
see. Sho loves him so much that she
can't bear lys loving any one else not

month after baby came, it was only a
truce. Sho was tho lovlicst young
mother in tho world, and iiob adored
his Madonna, clasping his boy with an
ardor that satisfied oven Mrs. Dent.
Hut when eho was well again, over tho
baby s name, and the baby s medi
cines, and tho baby's clothes and thfl
baby 8 nurse, thero were chances
enough of disagreement between the

sneezed; and wo couldn't help saying
I - . . . , f
ono day, seeing tho shelf of medicines
ho was accumulating, that 'twas u
mercy ho had tho Graham constitu
tion. Wo wanted him named foi
hisgrandfathcr.agood Scriptural name
that had always been in the family;
but ho had to bo Harold, straight
out of a novel Letty had read. And
when wo called him Pet and Blossom
and Princeling, half to avoid that do-
testable name, halt because ho was sc
sweet, Letty declared that wo despised
her and her baby, and ho wasn I
worthy, sho supposed, to bo tho licit
of tho Grahams unless ho was called
Mark, and presently wo wero as badly
on as over. It wns absurd, ot courso
Wo laughed over tho trilles that mad
our miseries; but it was no trifle when,
with only a block between us, sh
wouldn't let Bob como to see us for a
month. It ended in our going dowq
to tho mills mornings when ho waj
there, nnd so getting to know tho now
superintendent. Presently Pam asked
him to tho house in tho Lady Bounti
fill way sho had toward friendless
pcoplo of all sorts and conditions
bho nover thought that ho was no
match for our Annie, thoyoungestand
prettiest ot us, and though sho callcc
herself an old maid, actually 011I5
twenty-livo, nnd not looking that
Hut when sho saw what sho had done
and that something serious michl
como of it, though nothing had yet,
for J' rank Truman was as proud as
ho was poor, she put tho blanio wher
it belonged on hotly s shoulders.
"! or it it hadn t been lor you, nn
dear, woshouid nover havo known him
inevorbeforo know a suponntendent-
socially, I mean."
"I don t know that it's so deplor
able," 1 said. "Jt s tho family way,
and wo can afford to overlook his poy
erty, sinco he s really very much o
a gontlemnn, I'm sure." And I smileu
at Lotty, for wo wero reconciled now.
and sho had run in to show us how the
baby was learning to tako steps.
" J fiat must bo such a consolation,
said Lotty, flushing, and taking it
wrong, as I might havo known sh(
would "to Annie, I mean that sin
is only following in her brother's steps
but I should think, out of regard at
least to him, and courtesy to 1110"
"Why, 1 nover meant to reflector
you, I cried. "Wo never tlisap
proved "
ion never had a chance; and U
wouldn't havo done tho least good i(
you had, sho cried, defiantly.
"iNo, indeed, i'am said, coming to
my rescue "fiob was too thoroughly
in lovo to mind if wo had talked al!
day at him. It was a clear casoofbo
witchmont. "
"I'm much obliged, T'm sure," Lolt
said, picking up Harold; "but if vol
mean to intimate that I tried thai
v;o tried to capture my husband"
"I only meant to intimate," Pan:
said, sweetly, "that you wero then, as
you aro situ, so very pretty thai
liob-"
"Oh, then, 1'vo nothing but my prct
ty face-"
"Which baby has inherited," Ipul
in. "fieally, dear, tho child grows
moro liko you ovory day of his lifo."
"ilo s tho imago of his father, cried
Letty. "Eyes, mouth, everything. 1
wouldn't own him if ho was not. Ami
you know you only say ho resembles
1110 to teaso me."
That wns perfectly absurd, for tin
child was Dent all over, inoro's tin
pity; but you might as well havo tried
to reason with atiirkey-cockjustthon
Sho swept up tho baby and was out
of tho houso while wo wero laughing at
her vehemence. Wo novor could got
into Lolly's feeling about it, I sup
poso. Wo thought by tins 1 11110, mar
ned two years, and sure ot our ntlee
tion, sho ought to take things more
lightly; but it was plain bho did not.
For sho talked so to Bob about th
certainty of marital shipwreck if a
rich woman married a poor man
though it wasn't all sunny sons the
other way either that ho nmdjj it hi'
duty to discountonnnco tho whole
thing. Ho sent Frank Truman of! to
tho west for n fow wcoks to look aftot
somo business for tho firm, and in the
nieantuueho brought down old Talbot,
senior partner irt the Tuckahoo mills.
where lie had a third interest, to con
sole Annio. I should havo thought
Lotty would havo liked tho othet
match bettor; but she scorned to think
that if Audio married the old widower,
who was as rich as all of us put to-
gothor, that would balance things
perfectly. And as Frank, when In
enmo back, was too proud to speak,
and nono of us felt sure it was indeed n
matter of lifo and death with Annie
and so inclined to let things take the
courso, wo wore presently in as prutt)
a snarl as heart could wish. Tueka
hoo was only ton miles oil, nnd Mr
Talbot used to drive over once
or twico a week; and when ho wns not
at our house ho wns at Bob's. Ho was
roally rather nice, though being twenty
or moro years older than Annie,
it didn't seem nronMiimblonmtch.nna
I somotiuuM wondered if ho didn't have
nn eye on Pamela, or if he couldn't be
brought around to that. Pam wot

tor suited in years and dignity. I;
would havo been a perfect match fo 1
her nnd then little Annie could ttOu
Frank, and tho double Mdldir.g would
prove our democracy beyond dispute.
Pam was gracious to him, too all nn
Annie's account, she said; and tint
queen-dowager pretended to help, so
that plainly tho Tnlbot bark was on
Bunny seas.
And it was whilo we were nil in this
tangle that Harold was lost.
It was all from tho French nurse, as
I said at onco to Pam; and I h'idsnid
often bcfoio that no good could coniu
of getting a chattering foreigner to
caro fo" tho child, and nmkehini lenvu
her tongue before ho could his own.
It was the quocn-do wager's idea, I was.
sure, and I had no patience with it.
But Mario seemed a good girl, and sho
certainly wao picturesque and hand
eomo in her peasant costume, and it
was pretty to near the little follow lisn
his "cstce-ques." Bob made rather
more of her than of the other servants, I
noticed; out ho was generous to them

Lotty remembered it.
It imnearod from the incoherent nr.
count Letty gave when she came over"
distracted, to tell us, that Mario and
Harold had gone out, as usual, a lit
tle before ten that morning. She had
given orders to keep hun out in the
prelty little park until lunch tune, and
sho had delayed lunch a little when
they did not come, and then she had
font one of tho servants after them,
and she came back with a distressing
tale that nurso and child had been seni
to tnkotheten-o'clocklrain for North,
ington. She had bought her ticket, so
the agent said, chattering nn indistinct
(oniething to him about Monsieur
Graham and a message. Now North
ington was a great junction twelvo
miles off, and ono could go cast, wt-.sfc
or south from it, and of course wo
all harped to ono conclusion. 1 near
ly bit my tongue off to avoid saying.
i told you no! and to keen out of
temptation I sot off for tho littlo po
lice station, whilo Annie, too distracted
to think of tho carriage, rtwhed down!
to tho mills; for Bob had gonu to tin;
city that morning on business, but we ;
didn't 1 mow what or where, and ono :
can't send n telegram at random.
Frank Truman offered to send i he
messages, and proposed also to wire
the chief of police, and to bring up the
return messages himself, and Annie wan
glad to accept. Then whilo woweroall '

And whilo wo wero telling him and ask
ing advice for wo five women felt as
helpless as babies in tho emergency ir
walked Frank with the return telegrnpr
from tho office where Bob's business,
was.
"Not here. Left for Northington af
10:10."
Letty road it, and shrieked, "Oh. 1
know it! I know it!" And for onj
dreadful instant perhaps wo women
all had tho samo thouglit; but it wni
too outrageous a possibility for a sis;
tor's heart, and Pain stiffened at once,
"It is nrobablv some business a flair."
sho saiii, "something wo know nothing
ot. 'i ho trouble is now wo don I know
how to reach him." !
"Beach him!" Letty burst out 1
"Oh, hois beyond that now! Oh, that
I could havo been so blind all these I
weeks! You wero right, Mini" this
to 1110. I might have known the sill v
creaturo would bring trouble; but I
didn't beliovo I couldn't that my
own husband could be guilty." j
J! or shame, JjettV. cried Pam 1
"Don't dare to say another word
igainst my brother. Thero is not 11
particle of reason"
"And f saw thorn logcthor Inst night, '
Lolly wont on, utterly beside herself
"planning it all out, and I never suh- :
pected littlo fool! Ho gave her money
yesterday her month's wages, hesaill
but who knows? And oh! oh! to
rob mo of my child, too!" Hut what
moro sho said 1 can't loll, for it wai !
too dreadful. Tho family skeleton
was paraded before (hem all, and out
ollortsto hush her only mado it worse !
Piun had grown white at her fuM
words, but now sho lust turned to the
f.entleinon and said, as quietly as pos
itive: "I beg that you will not thin!; ,
sho meant anything. Sho is out oi
her head over tho child." 1
'Of courso," Frank Truman said. '
but ho certainly looked a littlo dk
(Misted. "But whatwohave to do now
is to prove hor wrong by finding Mi
Graham. If you will givo mo your '
horses, Mr. Talbot" cool as ymi
please to tho nabob "I can catch tin
1 :i0 train for Northington; nnd if lu '.1
there, as of courso ho is, I can findnnd
bring him back in three hours. Ami
meantime, Mr. Tnlbot can direct thu
search hero for tho child. 0 have
them both to hunt up now, and my
half is tho oasior."
"lfow good von aro!" Pam said,
putting out hor hand. "And" she
tlushednnd hesitated "you will not
tell him except about tho baby. I I
am so ashamed and so sorry for poor
Letty. 1 niy trust you, I am sun?,
as as one ot ourselves." And she
didn't think, till Frank had bowed over
her hand and said, fervently, "A thou
sand thanks, dear Miss Graham, "nnd
then with ono glance at Audio rushed
oil she didn't think till sho saw that
gleam of his eye and Annio's answer-
ing sumo, wnat sue nun sum.
0 got Lotty to bed with somo dif
ficulty, and Mr, Talbot wont for tho
doctor. By that tinio tho servants
had begun to come buck, but all the
satisfaction thoy brought wns that a
slender, dark ovod man, supposed to
bo a loreicner, had been seen hnnginij
about Mario for the last fow days.
They're confederates of course," I said
at onco, and it is all a plan to steal tho
child for n reward."
"Porhnps it is a sweetheart, "Annie
suggested.
My dear." I paid, a little sharnlv.
"of courso you think so."
"It is as natural a supposition ni
tho other," said Mr. Talbot which
was what was to bo expected from
him. But I could hae told him that

Annio needed nono of his support. Sho
had a look in her eyes ns if Letty's
jealousy just made her faith in some
one deeper and truer, a sort of ten
der pity every time the poor child
shrieked out some fresh arraignment
of Bob.
We had a miserable aftcrnoon.thouh,
thanks to an anodyne, we quieted poor
Ietty after a while. Thero wero con
sulfations nnd plans, and messengers
sent of! on vague traces which the police
fancied they had found. Practically
wo wero waiting for Bob, in tho hope
that with him Harold would appear,
and at Inst, nisi as J jetty was rousing
again and asking for news, Annie, at
sight or sound of something, rushed
down the avenue, and then thero was
a cloud of dust, and Talbot's team,
which ho had sent to tho station on
the chance of their coining on the five
o clock express, appeared. Thero sat
Hob, holding the baby, and Frank and
Marie, sho very tearful and ho very
triumphant, wero on tho back seat.
In another instant Bob was down,
and we wero all about him, nnd tho
nueen-downgcr would have torn Har
old from his arms if ho hadn't been
firm.
"No, no: let mo give him to his
mother," ho cried. "Poor, poor Letty!
to havo had such a fright!" Thero
was a shriek above as ho rushed into
the hall, nnd Jjotty camo running
down. Thoy met half-way and it is a
wonder tho child wasn't smothered
between them. But it wns pretty as a
picture, Bob half kneeling, and Letty
leaning down, all in white, and her
golden hair streaming, and tho light
of the stained window on tho landing
naming inem 111 crimson.
"It was my fault, darling," woneard
Bob saying, "but I never dreamed of
your having such a fright."
And Lotty answered wildly
"ro,
no, it was mine to doubt you so.
Oh, how could 1?"
That was all very well as sentiment,
but not precisely explanatory. Wo
had all that presently, however, and
simple enough it all was. In tho city,
the day before, Bob had met his old
friend Cnrthnme, theportrait painter,
just out tor a lew days from iNew 1 ork,
and at sight ot him tho idea find Hash
ed on him that a crayon sketch of
Harold would bo the prettiest pos
fc'iblo surprise for Letty's comingbirth
dny. Carthame had a special reputa
tion on children, and his being 111
Northington was a clianco not to b
missed.
"All right," Carthame had said;
"I'll do it for you, though I wouldn't
for everybody in such a hurry. Bring
the boy down to Northington to-mor
row, nnd I'll manage ir head for you
at anv rate."
So Bob had hastily arranged with
Marie tho night before, charging her to
tell tho queen-dowager. And hero
Mario dissolved in tears, and owned
that sho had met her her cousin that
same evening, and it had driven every
thing out of her head, and sho had
quite forgotten that part of theschenie
"If I had not been really obliged to
run into the city this morning I could
have managed it better, ' Hob went on
"But all I could do was to tell Mario
to bring tho boy down, and I would
meet her there, and I never dreamed of
all tho fuss, till nn hour ago thero was
a tremendous ring at Carthamo's door
he's with his sister there and in
i'fllml M'pii in u ti nu nlit-i net n ttrci- "
Frank admitted the pallor, llohad
been, ho said, so taken aback nt find
ing the two together thatforonodrend-
ful instant ho had not known what to
think
Of course, when it was explained, it
seemed nothing at all. Wo laughed at
our agonies, our frantic telegrams, our
messengers, and tho rest. But I must
say it had results that wero far from
unimportant. It was really a lesson
to Lotty, and she has behaved better
since; it brought about an understand
ing between Annie and Frank, and,
"Bcally," Pain said, delighted to bo
able to abandon gracefully her aristo
cratic objections, "after what has hap
pened, wo must lie glad to have him
ono of us. Only I'm sorry for Mr.
Talbot. I suppose ho understood that
day," sho went on, innocently. "He
hasn't been hero sinco, I notice."
"It is about all you havo noticed,"
laughed Lotty, "or you'd know thero
was no end of lamentation over him."
"Oil, 1 daresay he'llconsolehimself,"
Pam said. "Of courso at this time of
life and I can't say I over supposed
him in love with Annie."
"I should hope not, indeed," Letty
said, in high good humor. "As for his
consoling himself, if you take it that
way, hos done it already. If you
hadn't been half blind for the last
month, you'd havo known what
brought him here. Mamma wouldn't
think of it, at first, sho so hated tho
idea of leaving nieand inarryingagain."
(Oh, indeed!) "But bo's boeii so urg
ent of Into" (sinco ho found liocouldn t
got Annio), "and after all she's just a
nico ngo for him, and it is only ton
milos away, and such u lovely house,
and mamma is so sensitive over her
position hero" (to bo queen dowager
isn't enough. I suppose), "and so hist
night sho said yes.
Well, that did tako our breath away
for a minute; but when wo camo to
think of it, wo saw how nicely tho quoon
dowager had played her cavds and it
wasn t so amazing. And it was a
hlossing for Boh. Mrs. Talhot hits
something else to ihink of now, and
left to hereon, I.etty is moro reason
able, olio 18 still n lentous wjfo what h
in the naturo won t come out with a
stroke, hut sho does control it hotter,
and thero is peace hotweon our houses.
