Wh6n tho Harrisons decided to move from their pretty, suburban-looking eottngo in tho upper part of tho city into :i Hat downtown, because it wouiil bo nearer to Mr. Harrison's business, several reasons wiiy they should not lmvo decided wero immediately discov ered. Mrs. Harrison was certain that there wero no ministers downtown who could compare with Doctor Barron, and that she shouldn't enjoy thorn if there were. Ollie, the elder daughter, was afraid that Charley Matron, who lived around the corner, could 110L continue to call live evenings in a week, as wils his present habit; and her father was fear ful that tho rather small parlor of their new abode would not take the place of their pleasant little porch for smoking nnd ruminating on warm spring eve nings. But Jossio, who was barely out of school, was eagerly enthusiastio con cerning tho Hat.'' She was-posit ir that of all the charming places to live, a Hat must uq me most ciiartntng; ami sao could hardly wait to get into one. Had it not been for Jessio's contagi ous good spirits, tho Harrisons would have boon inclined, at tho end of their lirst week of Hat-life, to move back up town without further adv. I They had begun to despair of over becoming accustomed to a Hut. Mr. .Harrison, being forgetful, was freshly startled every evening when thu door opened by apparent inagio in responso to his ring. Hut Jessie, by repeated explanations, convinced hint that, so far from being a spiritual manifestation, it was the direct result of a small brass handle attached to the kitchen wall. Ollie, whoso hour of rising was not of the .earliest, was disturbed every morning by tho whist lu of tho janitor up tho dumb waiter shaft, and the con sequent sending down of ashes on tho pari of tho girl. Hut Jessie grow elo quent over tho extreme desirability of tliis arrangement. Mrs. Harrison, whose taster, were quiet, was annoyed at meeting pooplo in (lie hall, and hearing them on tho stairs. Hut Jessie defended these sights and sounds as being remarkably phies unt and sociable. Sho herself.however, hud one cause of disturbances Sho drew Ollie close to tho hall door, ono morning, with her linger raised. Tlioro listen!" she whispered. "It's tho gentleman on the Hoor above, it's just the same every morning." A quick step was coming down sUdrs. At their foot it paused, wliile a feminine voico called down sweetly: "Good-by, Willy. Ho'hoino early bo sure." And a manly voico responded cheer fully: "I'll be on hand. flood-by!" and the ball door closed upon tho speaker. "They go through with all that everv day," said Jessio disgustedly. "Anil once or twice l'vo heard him call her dear' yo actually! If there's any thing 1 abhor, It's the public demonstra tion" of young married couplus!"sho con cluded with a shudder. She stepped to the window hastily, closed tho bliuds, and peeped through tho shutters. Yes, ho doesn't look moro titan twentv-four," sho announced. "Thov probably haven't been married long. Hut that's no excuse not tho slighest. 'Willy' for that munensu thingP' she added, scornfully, us she watched tho tall iiguro to tho corner. That afternoon Jessio went up town to call on several of "the girls," and re turned at 4, having hnd tho best kind of time. Sho had gouo first to Mamie Duke's, nnd Minnie had gone over to Cora Bradley's with her, and they had all gone on to MyraSellwln's, where Jos- nio had cntcit&iucd them with a vivid description of tho Hat, and amused them wlth'ii slightly exaggerated account of tho doingH of thu amorous couplo ou tho second lloor, Shu had in fact represented Mr, San dersonSanderson was tho nanio in the ulit over tho letter box -as being in thu habit of shouting "Hy-by, Tootsey, Wootsoy" up tlu stairs lis He departed, and receiving the my a tie rospou.su of "Nlcoy plcey oozy boozy goozy. Hut thu statement had not been fully eredltod. Sho was smiling over tho recollection of her afternoon's jollity as site stood In thd vestibulo- waiting the ruspomo to Jior ring. Whether tho gentleman ou tho sec ond floor, who ascended tho steps at tho moment, regarded her musing half smile ttti intended in soiuo degree for himself, or whether ho was charmed out of all self-restraint by JessluN fresh, young faco and her pretty, fall costume, 'was not dear; but he lifted his hut hesitatingly, The motion wm very Might and niot twpeotful, but Jewle rained her chin and regarded, the young man with chill ing haughtiness. What business had he to low to her? He wps extremely presumptuous; ho was impertinent. If that was the habit 'of people in Hats nothing could be hor rider. Had she not boon determinedly re garding ono tan-colored kid hand, where It rcsteil on tho door knob, she would have seen that Mr. Sanderson's frank face' hnd shown n quick distress and confusion, as lie noted tho effect of Ids impulsive act; but she did not look up. Some three minutes had passed by this time since sho had pulled the bell and. sho jerked it again, impatiently. A silence of three minutes more, dur ing which Jessie') frown deepened, i Then Mr. Sanderson, with rather a timid' "I beg your pardon!" roached across her to his own boll and pulled it. Another pause. Tho door did not open; there was not even a demand through the ppcaking tube of "Who is it?" There was pro found silence. The situation was somewhat cm barassing. Jessie bit her lip, and look ed down at the tip of her shoo. Then sho raided her oys to Hnd Mr. Sanderson's lixed upo:i her. There was no helii for it; they smiled, and rather broadly. "I have not my latch-key with me," said Mr. Sanderson, apologetically. "It is most unfortunate. 1 usually car ry It." "I can't imagine what is tho matter with Nora!" said Jessie, indignantly. "She must have heard tho bellP' She gave a third emphatic jerk to the handle. "If I could attract my sister's atten tion," said the young "man, stepping out and looking up at the second-story window. His sister! Jessie's eyes opened wide. Tho idea gave a new and not unpleasant aspect to tho case. Perhaps though, his sister was liv ing with them. Hut, no; in that case, would ho not have wished to attract his wife's attention rather than his sister's?" Two pennies and a leail pencil thrown against thu window brought no response, however. Mr. Sanderson came back into thu vestibule, hopelessly. "It's rather a peculiar situation." ho said. "We're aliens' and outcasts at our own door." Jessie laughed. "I suppose wo shall havo to wait till somebody conies in with sho said, "How dreadful!" a key,' She went out to the top step, and looked ui) and down thu street anx iously. Mr. Sanderson followed hor. "Oh, we've a last hope!" ho said, with a sudden inspiration. "Wo can v!iif lit in tillm 1 JIJ (If IHliJllllllUl Ho pulled the janitor's bell vigor ously. "What a delightful idea!" cried Jessie: and Mr. Sanderson looked fully rewarded. '1 he janitor was a good fivo minutes in getting to tho door. llu grinned slightly as he opened it, appearing to take in the situation. - "That Ik'11 wiro's broke," ho ob served, indicating tho row of handles. "How long you been ringing at 'em?" "Oil, not long," said Mr. Sander son, evasively, and joined in Jessie's laugh. He raised his lint again as he left, her at the door, and ran on upstairs; but she did not. appear to resent it she even smiled in return. . "He is not married, after all," she saiil to her sister, as sho took oil' her "things" in the room. "Who?" said Ollie. "Mr. Sanderson - the gentloin.in on tho second lloor," said Jessie, emphat ically. "It is his sister who live wit li him; and he is quite pleasant." "Jessie Harrison," said her sister, stonily, "what have you been doing?" Shu was not. entirely satisfied when Jessie had explained. "Did you ask him to call?" she naid, suspiciously. "Yes, 1 see it in your eye you did. you dreadful girl!" "I 'didn't," said Jessie, laughing: "but it's quite probablo that 1 shi.ll yet!" Tho Harrisons- grew reconciled to their Hat as time went on. Mr. Harrison grew accustomed to the door, and Mrs. Harrison was no longer disturbed by her occasional encounters with the t'amilies upstairs, and OUiu was speedily reassured as to Charley Matson by that young gentleman's faithful appearance livo times a week, via the hor.-o ears. It was some three weeks after this removal that Mr". Harrison's cook, fol lowing a faithful custom of cooks, sud denly deserted her. Oilio was, on a two days's visit to friends just out of town. Mrs. Harri son wak" not as well as u.stial, and tho household burden fell on Jessie. That young lady was capable of car rying it'. Shu was rather pleased with the nov elty of having everything in her own hands, for she would not allow her mother to assist her in tho remotest de gree. She madeoiit a bill of faro for thu day, ami her mother having smilingly approved it, started out to market im mediately. On her return, she put on her oldest dress and took down the cookbook. Lobster salad was tho programme for lunch, and a lobster salad ot exception al merits was presently produced. It was rather annoying, to be sure, stopping every two or three- minutes to answer thu dumb-water bell and call "All right!" down to grocery, meat market, lisli store and bakery buys, but that was a necessary result of her rather extensive marketing. ,(... .1 .... ........ .. my ,' ..- ........ supply of eatables before her and won- j Shu was looking over the plcnlliul lennsr whether to have peaches for lunch ami grapes ami pears for dinner, or grapes ami pears for lunch ami peaches for dinner, when thu duAih waiter bell jingled again. She opened thu door impatiently and looked down, A red faced man stood below, staring up with some aggressiveness. "J n row tiowu me Key oi your collar, and I'll put your wood In," he said not too gently. 1 "Woodr" Jessie repeated with a frown for his griifthuss. "1 don't want any wood.'' A'ladj ordered it In the tret jut now" said the man, raising his voice, "Ono barrel of kindling wood, for twen ly live cents, and cheap, too. First Hat, sho said. Ihrow down vour key "It couldn't have been the lirst flat," said Jessie, nrenarmir to shut the door. "No lady has ordered wood for tho lirst Hat." "I know what I'm talking about," the man retorted, loudly. "And T don't propose to bo cheated out of an order. ion can throw down that key as soon as vou've a mind to, and tho mone3 too.'" Jessie returned his fierce gaze doubt full- Sho was not frightened, but sho was somewhat at a loss.. How should sho get rid of him? Where was tho janitor? "I'm awaiting for that koy," said tho man threateningly. The door above opened at that mo ment, and Jessie, looking up, saw two heads appear in succession a pleasant Irish face surmounted by a dark cap; nnd that of the second Hoor gentleman, n hat and overcoat. "Is there anything the matter?" said Mr. SandorsoiMuueting Jessie's upturn ed gaze, with much concern. "Oh, dear, yes!" Jessie responded, with a smile of gratitude. "This man is behaving very disagreeably. He says somebody ordered wood for our lloor, and I am sure nobody did." "Take vour self oil', then," said the young man sharply. "1 ain't going out of this cellar till I've put in that wood," was the fierce response. "I'll settle wiili him," said Mr. San derson, looking down at Jessio reassur ingly. Ucforo she had realized his intentions, she had heard a rapid descent of thu two flights of stairs, and quick steps in tho cellar, and saw the man below turn angrily. She hurried to the head of the cellar stairs and listened with startled intent ness. There was a slight setttllo, and then a hasty retreat toward tho base ment door, with an accompaniment, ol sullen muttering.. Jessie ran downstairs. Mr. Sander son was standing near the dumb waiter. His hat was lying on the ground and hu was holding one hand to his face. "He has hurt you!" cried Jessio, dis tressedly. "Untried to,'-' said tho young man, picking up his hat hastily. "It's noth ing." "I am so sorry!" said Jessie, earn estly. "It was all on my account." "There couldn't liave been a better incentive." said Mr. Sanderson, gal lantly "It was so kind in you!" murmured Jessie. "1 was only too glad to bo of service to you," Mr. Sanderson insisted. They had reached tho top of the stairs. A pretty young lady in hat and jacket stood tli ere. "Dear me, Willy!" she cried; "you aren't hurt 1' I just came in, and Maggy lias been telling me about it. 1 ordered wood of that horrid man, and I said the second Hal as plain as anything. You are hurt. Coinu right upstairs and get some arnica." Ami, with a friendly nod and a smile at Jessie, she dragged the second lloor runt Ionian away. it was not surprising, alter this oc currence, that the second Hat should have called on thu first Hat only two evenings later, that thu lirst Hat should havo returned the call, and that the acquaintance should havo grown into an intimacy. The astonishing part was that only six months later Miss Sanderson ful filled an engagement of long standing, and that Jessie, trying her best to seem matronly, and failing ignoininio;;sly, as eighteen-year-old brides generally do, became the mistress of tho second Hat. Certainly it was most natural that she should occasionally have thrown her young husband a kiss from the top of the stairs as ho took a reluctant de parture; and certainly it was most unkind in Ollie, who witnessed tho harmless act one morning, to observe, audibly: "If 'there's anything I hate it's tho public demonstrations of young married couples!" A Woman's Charm. Tako the novel. The interest of the novel the real story, not tho social sci ence tract is in love-making. And the interest in the love-making in tho novel lies in tho uncertainty and individuality of tho female mind; that is to say, every ease is positively a now one. Mot only is it impossiblu'to lay down a rule of action for this mind, a rulo evolved from the study of innumerable cases in fiction and in real life, but it is next to impossible to predict what will bo its action from a study of its own tendency. Hence thu iiuudtaustililo jnterest'of the comedy or tragedy, as it may be, and the infinite resources of the student of love-making and the adjustment of the relation cf man to woman, which is the great business of life. Tho interest in the novel, if it is a story of love, is in exhaustible, not only becauso every woman is different from every other, but became every real woman has an infinite variety of impulse and action in herself. If tho lover in thu novel were sure to find Ids beloved every day just the same, tho public would not care to read about one interview. Fiction would perish of monotony. If thu fe malu mind had a law of uniformity, and the novelist were to discover it, lie would simply kill tho gooso that lays the golden eggs of literature. Ho would dissipate all tho mystery and charm of Ids art. Hut there' is no danger. Tho novel in tills is a reflection of real life. The great interests of thu world lies in tho uncertainty attending love-making, and in thu variety, thu incalculable i.wuul .mil mlf.tl if vt 111 fill f.ll. ,,1... ..V.
