f THE SHELVING OF I MISS BECKY. 3 v m. oa roe. X Copyright, in QCTSSORS, needle, thimble and jj tongue were unusually busy that afternoon. The I'lnilk-o Sewing wi dely had a reputation for promptness, and tbe Thanksgiving box of clothing for the "deserving poor waa not ready " Mr. Tarkinson waa the preaident of the Pimlico Sewing aoclety. Mm. Par- kinaon hod alwaya been its president. She waa a woman of the Napoleonic order, to whom a kindly fute had at yet brought no Waterloo. In all ) clal affairs the Tillage had tacitly ac cepted her dictatorship aince the day . her first huaband, Hev. Joshua iligg" installed her aa miatreaa of the old red brick manse among the elma. Hev. Joshua had succumbed to heart disease a few months after hi advent in the village, end, although Mr. Parkinson was only a grocer In a small way, the good lady had ever exacted a full meed cf honora due her former exalted posi tion. At first the conversation waa deaul tory in character. Hut like the prelim inary skirmishing that uelitrs In the real battle, it but preluded the discus sion of matters pertaining to the gen eral welfare of Plmllco and ita inhab itant a. Mrs. Parkinson had something of im portance to communicate. Sundry lit tle hlnta and tbe bobbing of her brad, and the pursing of her thin lips evidenced the fuct. Even the decided snip of Mis. Parkinaon'a scissor car ried ita note of warning. The president of the Pimlico Sewing society did not seize an opportunity to address her sister workers; like her il lustrious prototype, she created oppor tunities. "Mrs. Blythe Isn't coming to-day, not beln' very well. I've bad no word from Miss llecky, so I suppose she'll be here, llcfore Miss llecky cornea " here she lowered her voice impressively "I've a word I Just want to say to the ladles here. I haven't a thing to say against Miss llecky, except Just this: Miss llecky i a-gettln' along In years, and II makes me down tick to see a womnn of her age a-goln' on so. Why, she's 30 If she's a dny, and she's a-goin' out to partie an' bavin' young men company like she wasn't more than 19. I feel like a woman o' her age ought to have more sense than to be wearin' bata with all kind o' flowers an' tenth- ers on 'em. Hut, if she hasn't, why seme one Just ought to tell her. That's what I think." Mrs. Parkinson had grown excited. Her low, mysterious utterances had risen to full oratorical crescendo. Hhe wiped her glasses deliberately, put them on and looked around. Mrs. Morrow's scissors had ceased cutting. Khe possessed only one pair and they alwaya squeaked. "Mis' Parkinson, ye hev Jest give ut t'rence to what I've been a-thinkin' this four years buck. Ilecky'll be 31 im x' spring, 'cause I know she wuz born the very day old Deak'n Toutelotte'a calves died, fer I remember ex though 'iwus yest'day how the deak'n " Mr. Morrow hud a reputation. Some one considerately rescued the meeting from the intricate mazes of one of her reminiscent tales. "My mother wasn't married till she wuz 3z, but lal she hadn't wore posies in her bun net for so long 'fore thet time 'she felt ez though ev'ryone in the meetln' house wuz eyeln' her when she wore her weddin' biinnet with a bunch o' white flowers on it." "I've been keerful about soyln' anything thet might cause trouble by comiu' to the year o' Mi' III the an' llecky," Mrs. Iligge remarked, "but I hev been thlnkiii fer some time thet fer a woman clost to 10, all thut dress In' up could scarcely be favorable In the eyea o' the Lord. Hut I said noth Iti' about it." "Near 30!" old. Mr. Tracy exclaimed, with ome cnrn; "Ilecky'll never see 30 again. She's one age to my Joe, an' he' been married goin' on nine years now. Why, llecky an' Jane Thompson air the same age, an' Jane's bernwenr ln' notbin' but gray an' brown, fer years; a: she's gcttin to look real old, too." "Hut, mother," young Mrs. Traey said, "surely you do not think Mis llecky looks old?" "No; I must say llecky doe not show her age; but shu' a-gettin' along all the same. An' las' summer, after I saw them red flower, I Jest niude up my mind to speak to llecky, an' ay I: 'Don't ye think red is Jest a llttie gay fer je'i" says I, an' she luffed. "Why, I'm not a gra ml mother, ye know,' says he, A grandmother! An' she not eten keepiu' steady company ez fur ez I know. Hut it's the way she bus young men a-comin' to sec her thet I don't like. There wur Seth Adiiiua a scttiti' up reg'lnr with her all l.ia' winter, an' ev'ryone thought they'd, be married, n' nothin' ever come of It. An' Mis' Clark' nephew, he. took to goin' there fer another spell, nn' nothin' come o' thet, either." Then Miss Flint no one seemed In remember the time when this good old woman was young -spitefully Tit t off the end of her thread, and peered through her glasses at the Irregular stitches she was putting lu the apron of some poor child who presumably would prefer the useful to the beauti ful. ""Twotildn't le no surprise to me," he said, "if Miss llecky didn't keep a light hiiriiin' In the parlor ev'ry Sun day night o' purpose to make folks think she was ha in' company." "Twotildn't surprise me none," the Widow Jenkiin niired the ladies. "I guess putty gin'ally a pal as has an offer aeeep's it.

If Ol-IllUO UMut Veuavr, KredoDla.N.Y seen to exchange gluncc, for it was quite well known In the village that tbe eldest sou of the Widow Jenkins had been refined by Miss Itcbecca the week before he married .Mariiidy Flint. Ily this time, altliousii no vote bad been taken, it was plainly demonstrat ed that Miss Itebeeca III the wus to be summarily relegated to the rnnks of the elderly unmurried ladies of i'lm llco. Th president's heroic face fairly beamed. Despite the readiness with which the sisters of the icwing society always responded to her calls, she had counted on some opposition. Miss III the was a popular young woman. "Well," she suid with a self-satisfied smile, "Mrs. Traey an' me talked it all over some days ago, an' we decided then that Miss llecky has been behav ln' like a ' in her teens long enough, nn' we are going' to glvs her a hint she can't help takin. Squire Larkin's sis ter, June llest, hn stepson a-comin' here to visit the squire: an' the -quire' wife be in' but poorly, she wants we an' the girls to get up a party for him. I don t know vwirther you ve ever heard Mis' Larkin speak o' Dr. Sum merlon. He comes from out west, an this Is his first visit. They say he is doin' real well out wet. Ilettie an' Kvvie are goin' to give a big dance fer him In their pa a new burn 1 haiik.givin night. All the young people's to get Invites to-morrow; but I Just told the girls to leave out Miss llecky, an' they done so. "I guess Mis Ilecky's pretty apt to tek a hint. llecky ain't been much of a fool ez I kin xe." This time it was the owner of the musical scissor who spoke. "Well, good land alive! If there ain't Miss llecky herself a-comin' right in; nn' she's got a strange man a-wait- in' fer her at the gate. Wonder who It can be!" And then Miss Rebecca Wythe came in, looking happy and rosy, and not a day over its. She wore a trim winter cont, and two bright yellow wings were sticking straight up In the little jnunty felt hat that perched defiantly above the wind-blown waves of Mim Itebeeca' shining black bair. I can't stay to-day," she announced. "I am aorry, for 1 know how much there Is to be done; and mother was not well enough to come. Hut, you know. Squire l.nrkin has a nephew just come to town to spend the holidays. We did not know him; but it seems he met brother Tom out west, and so he came to see us as soon as he hud seen his uncle and aunt. Nothing would do but that I must take him around this afternoon to see his old friends." Mrs. Parkinson's face was a study. She said nothing; but Miss Flint had a malicious light in her eye as she a-iked: "What air ye golu' to do, llecky, on Thaiiksgivin'?" "It 1 our turn to go to Sister Mar tha's thlyear. We'll take the train in the morning, you know, and come back the next day." Then Miss Ilebecca laughed merrily, as she added: "Oh, just let me lellyou. llrothrr Tom actually made that mini promise to spend Thanksgiving with Sister Martha to taste her cake. You know what a famous cake iniiker Mar tha always Ins been. Hut 1 niliM hurry away. You all look so cozy in here, and so industrious); It mukes me feel quite good for nothing." Miss Hlythe left; and a hush fell up on the nssembly. Then there was a rush for the win dow. Yariouscnmplimcutnry remarks were made about the personal appenr auce of thedoetor from the west, and a few uncomplimentary things said about the deep-laid scheme of his de signing companion. These last did Miss Itebeeca great injustice; for she had never even heard of the existence of the doctor from the west, until his unceremonious entrance into her father' house nn hour before. Mrs. Parkinson and the meek-look-If.g lady scorned to "put themselves out" by going to the v iudnvv for a peep at Miss Itly the's gallant escort. The announcement regarding the disposi tion of the village puest on Thanks giving had so broken into the plans of the good president that anuicmcnt and Indignation stilled her voice; but there wna a heightened color In her cheeks, and the accelerated speed of her needle told its own story. The meeting adjourned at an earlier hour than usual, much to the- relief of .he ladies. On the vthole. the afternoon hud been an uncomfortable one. Hut Mrs. l'arkiusiiiidid not ackiHiwI- i'dgedefeat. F.arly the following morn ing she "ran in" to consult with Mrs. Tracy, one of her stanch supporters. As a result of this conference the Thanksgiving dance waspjstpoued for several days, and the iN'etor received an Invitation, which, however, be did not accept. The young people on t heir way to the party tun him walking with rapid strides in the direction of lVacon JMvlhe's; am! it was known that Miss Ilebecca hail a new silk waist and a large knot of pink ribbon for her hair. That was only the beginning. AM ef forts to entice the oung man from the dangerous Miss llebeccf proved un availing. Indeed, be nppran d to spend far more time at the Itlii the home than he did with his good une'e and aunt. 11c had even been seen out snow-balling with Miss Itcltccca's two young rephcwK. For once the bold plans of Mrs. Parkinson failed. Her principal coadjutor hud the hardihood to advocate a chiini:e in the line of operations. This lady's daugh ters sent out luvltatio.is for the big Christmas! lc ighride, ai.d for the flrt time in weeks. Miss Kebecca received a card. J "They want you so much they are willing to take me, too." she said, w it h one of her merriest peals of laughter laughter In which lr.

Hudson Irvington Ifeach wae deetined by hie father for fir tat thma: To which end he educated him liberally. So Hud, emerg inff from academic halU, looked about "n life with a natroniung air and waited for Opportunity to come along and make him a pretty bow. lie waited a good n.aoy yearn, but the never etepped before him or Menied to notice him in the leat. Hie people all died end left htm nothing but the memory of honorable livee, and poor Hud. horribly lons-ly, married a girl he knew after ascertaining that ehe had do objection to makirg her own go writ and waa willing to t?in.r the grocery bill to uit a bookkeeper aalary. Jtut in ipite i.f all the dullneiM with which he waa surrounded, and the fact that he toiled all day and walked home through filthy etreeta to a third flat and a plain wife. Hud could nut come down to the ac tual it tea, Or, to put it more fairly, he re- fuM-d to notice the un interesting actual! tie and confined hiinaelf to the enjoyment of auch thing in life aa auiud him. Aa, for eiample, the cart. Hud kepi booka for a River street im porting houe, and it was Kit privilege to handle invoices of tea from China and col fee and apices from Java and M;tm!a'ay, it wan, without doubt, the purent uuugiiia Hon, but it tw-eiiied to Hud that the very invoices of thece thing had an aromatic scent it bout them, and it waa his chief in dulgence to leave his work a minute be fore tiie noon hour and go to the shipping room, where the curious caaee of redolent wares were opened At firt when he tried to tell hie wife, she laugued. Hut she loved Hudpoor Hud who had never had anything that he wanted and when she looked in his dreamy. 01 like eyes, she made up her mind to try to understand what he i talking about. Very plain women are sometimes untelfish like that. It was she who bought him an old ropy of the astonishing tinvels of Marco Polo, and she (rot the chronicles of Sir John Maundcvillc out of the public liluary and read aloud to Hud rvemngii. She yot me joss nticks, too, and burned ti.em in a tiny jade bowl. And after that both of the Henchea got in the way of buying oriental trinket a and Mrs. l-each htTtred the grectiifth plaited etiaw wrapping that came about the tea boxes, and made a dado ol them around her dining room, neatly prmeling the tvltnle. After t at tb pungent perfume of the dried tea leaves were forever in that room, and made it peculiar. Moreover, she struck a Uny grng when meals were reedy, and the gong had a I. Hunting oriental sound. So into toe lives of Hudson Irvinuton Heat h and his plain little wife began to come the color ol the mysterious east, ami they dreamed of Far Cathay and talked nrniut "the I nil," and were absurdly hat'kneyed-thoutrh they didn t know it and they envied the people who could cross the western leas, and sad into the toy country of .Jatmn, or Me the vast, thronging rivers of China, and hear the tinkling of the temple bells. "I uftcd to think it waa very silly to talk aljout the incarnation of the soul," Mrs. Iteecli said to Htidvnn, "but now feel quite sure that I used to walk through a barar and talk with ivory-faced old men in turbans, and that I umm! to buy curious, delightful things. It cannot be that all I know about marketing is going down on CI rk street to the butcher's. I hate the butcher's, anyway. Why can't we eat rice and sugared rherriee and beautiful deli cate things like that" Hud managed to get some delicious rel ishes such aa Christians encounter when they go to 1 loin bay, and he and Mr. Ilea eh iicd them with scrupulous frugality. On Christmas he made her a present of eu gnred cherries and ginger and small, pre cious packages of tea. They knew but few persons on this teeming globe and wrote to fewur still, though they were people who would dear ly have loved an interesting correspond ence, and chief of all their epistolatory de lighta was the letter that rame now and then from Hong Kong from a correspondent of the Kiver street house. Hud, to tell the truth, had rather thrunt his personal ity upon this man, and by careful coaxing, the b usin chb eorreapondence had grown Into a friendly interchange of personal let ters. "It seems curious to me at tunes," said Hud one day, rubbing the bald spot on hie head, "that in all my life 1 am never to get a smell of the bexar tbe garlic and the incense and the perfumes ami the dirt! How miMTnbly dull our streets are, Mary! What would you think if you saw people in white linen and red and blue and yellow and gold and fawn colors? Mary, how would you like a Cashmere shawl' Or a camel hair robe)! Kli?" Then they both laughed like children who have a secret and Mtry, getting up, lit one of the little joss sin ks in the jade bowl. It was only lait winter that the Reaches began to got tired of visions. Perhaps they real if ed that youth was really gone. Any way they knew beyond all peradventure that they were poor; that work was con stant and poorly remunerated, and that for all of the cry of their souls for the land be yond Suex, they were likely to live and die in that neighborhood of "lint" buildings. looking out on end hits wire clothes lines and hre escapes. They grew depressed. They were almost ill lift tured with each other. They ceased to take pleasure in the redolent dado. Put iiifd as the dirty Chicago winter was settling down upon them in a most dia heartening way, and the furniture of the Hat was looking its meanest, and Mary was most conscious of the out of data character of her three year-old jackrt. Hud rame home one mght with a white face. "Hud,' cried Mary, when she saw him, you're i,iehargc.l." "Mary," shouted Hud. throwing his arms about bcr, "you lie!" and be kissed her sijuare on the mouth. It's the Ind!" half sobbed Hud. "1 tell you, M.-iry, it's the Ind that has upset me! I m to go as agent for our house to Hong Kong! It has come true." "Hong Kong isn't the Ind. ' said Mary. al most crossly. She was surprised that she had to be crvts "Isn't it, dear Oh, yea it is. It's the east, anyhow! Mary, I can email it I can it I can hear it! What a fairvland. The skv, the nVwrre, the l eople, the color. the noise they are all different? We shall cross the continent and rrnu the sea and see the islands, and then we shall coma to the old citiet and live in them!"

Then a splash among green leaves. 1 hen, down acroi t epom mel of my saddle, dropped a hui-e tvild est. hit bosom ipurting blood. W at did all this mean: Wnile sitting in 1 e'j. ers wonder nient, the air began to hib' le with musi cal laughter. 1 gazed about, peeking the source of this enroid of sweet aour.ds.

Out through the cpeen of 'eaves .ui.ied th form of a yming woman, clad in blue velvet. She had on her head a white man's 1st, the left brim pinned to the wile of the crown, revealing a broad hstn' of squirming hau above the ear. A great lot of lasy, yellow curls lulled on her s.iouljers. I sst speechless, watching th riot of beauteous expression in her fac. 1 had een that fare before.

"()hk no; you'll not go on this evening, sir," she said, tapping her gun, and smil ing significantly. "I invite vou kiudlv to go with me, and 1 hope l'U not have to say you ar.au go, sir.
