"Rut what can you do. child?"
queried her sister. "You have never
learned anything but housekeeping
".eli enough to teach it. and nobody
wants lessons at that."
"Well I might at least keep some-
body's house."
"Oh Jocelyn. Is It not better to
starve respectably* than to go out as

"It certainty is not. I have a good
healthy appetite every day of my
lire, and I intend to do my best to

"Where do you expect to find such
a responsible position? They don't
go begging?"
"Now my great secret Bhall be di-
vulged," Jocelyn answered trium-
phantly "I had a long talk with Mrs.
Oerment before she returned to the
city this fall, and she quite approved
of my idea. In her letter which came

Miriam only gasped, as she gazed
Into the eager face of her energetic
young sister.

Kelief succeeded dismay In
Miriam's eyes. "That will be con-
venient to have you so near at hand.
I was beginning to wonder how I
rould exist with you away off where | lyn silently blessed him as she saw
I could never see you. You are a
brave child, and I believe you could

Jocelyn gave a little laugh. "You
nearly scared me to death, but now I
see through your deep laid scheme.
Vou know I have always liked you,
OUver. Why didn't you ask me to
help you before. Instead of keeping
your courting of Miriam aecret all
this time? To-morrow Is my day for
visiting, and I shall surely lay down
the law to my dear old goose of a sis-
ter. She shall be happy, even If I
have to force her Into It."
"What a dumb-head I have been."
remarked Oliver disgustedly. "1 never

Jocelyn kept her word, and on the
day following gave Miriam a severe
lecture on her duty to the man who
had loved 'Tier so long and waited for
her so patiently. Ilefore she left, a
brother-in-law for herself had be-
come an admitted possibility in the
near future.
On returning to the Norton resi-
dence after thla interview, its housA
keeper found unusual signs of ex-'
cltement.
"Oh. Miss Newell." was the greet-
ing of Mary the parlormaid. "Mrs.
Norton's nephew bxs come, and they
have been talking together over an
hour. Mrs. Norton said put him in the
blue room, and he would stay a long
time she hoped."
"I am glad he has come, Mary; It
will do Mr*. Norton good and we must
make him comfortable " Jocelyn hast-
ened to her room, feeling to her own
surprise decidedly blue.
Removing her wraps, she threw a
shawl about her shoulders and slipped
out of doors. Mrs. Norton and her
nephew were evidently settled for
the evening, and a lonely feeling
came over the young housekeeper as
she heard their voices In passing.
After rambling for some time In the
moonlight. Jocelyn seated herself on a
bench by the boundary wall, and
faced the situation. "What a selfish
thing I am! Just because Mlrlatn Is
to be made happy In spite of herself
and Mrs. Norton has the only per-
son she ha* on earth left to love come
to brighten her up. I fell into the
dumps! It's a nice way of practicing
the Golden Rule."
But this self directed lecture failed
of It* effect, for to Jocelyn'* disgust
she found herself sobbing softly. She
rubbed the tears fiercely away.
"Wh;. Miss Newell, what Is the
matter?" asked a sympathetic voice
as Jocelyn gave a final dab She
looked up with a start to find herself
confronted by a tall young man. who
continued. "Aunt Alma sent me to
bring her treasured housekeeper In
ont of the dew. but she will be sorry
I found you In tears. Can't I do
something to help you?"
"No, for 1 am crying because I am
the most selfish creature on earth."
she answered. "Should you sympa-
thize with some one who cried be-
cause she was going to have for a
brother lo law a man she had always
liked'"
"I should sympathize with my
aunt's perfect housekeeper whatever
her trouble—she has told me al)
about you—but I am glad it is no
worse "
"Mrs. Norton Is the best woman
that ever lived." Jocelyn rose as she
spoke "I must see that she is prop-
erly fixed for the night Please don't
tell her what a goose I have been "
"You need not fear that I will be-
tray a confidence." he answered.
Eugene Ralston proved a great ad
dition to the household, he carried
both Mrs Norton and her housekeep-
er off on all sorts of excursions. "I
am a stranger and want to see the
