 [By Special Arrangement.—Copyright] | WHEN THE' HEDGES | BLOSSOM By VIOLET ETYNGE MITCHELL Author of A Stolen Viedding." The Idyl of a New England Tillage," &c. I "I declare. Ant'neite, I dnn'no as there's anything woree'n epidere. I jest killed the biggest one you ever aee. Does seem as if Decpdale's alive with 'em. There! t,heres another. Thank goodness! I catched him! They are dretful pesterin', but I think lady-bugs is worse. Remember the time we had a plague of 'em, and I found tew on my delaine skirt? Makes me crawl to think of it." Miss Baboock did not mial-e immediate reply. She and her sister had been polishing n, dows as the finale of thorough house-cleaning. Every inch of their white-painted cottage gave evidence to the New England breeding, which demanded cleanliness and order. Across the open doorway, leading out into an old- fashioned posy garden, they exchanged shuttlecocks of conversation, interrupted by the vigorous flourishing of soft white rags. Antoinette, the younger sister, was short and ) plump, and puffed as she worked, like a boiler under high pressure. There was a sug- gestion of lingering coquetry in a bit of blue ribbon that tied her linen collar, and in a tangle of yellow curls that were professedly drawn into bondage by a 6taid torloiseshell comb, but had a trick of escaping over the broad, low forehead, and dancing into a pair of merry blue eyes. that ne.eded small exeunt to set the lips a-laughing. Antoinette was called pretty; her sister was a,lways spoken of as the plain Misa Babcock." Miss Zetty had, in fact, nothing to redeem her general awkwardness but a pair of grey eyes, whose far-away look reached beyond the horizon, and out. into a world the utter shallowness of which she knew nothing. She was a woman whose charm lay in the shady and quiet vilileys of a loving heart, and whose absence of surface beauty was but the token of deeper and more enduring sweetness of I character. "That bed of p'tanias is oomin' up 80 fast they remind me of Sally Brown's twins—'kind 'er outgrowin' their strength," remarked An- toinette, darting a swift, backward glance over her shoulder, at the little moon-shaped posy beds that dotted the fair expanse of green. "If the hens '11 let 'em alone we'll have a fine show this year." "It's hen-natur' to scratch." was the terse reply. "Dogs is worse. For land's sake. Ant'nette, ain't that a dog comin' through the gate, this minute? 'Tis. And as sure as you're alive he's a-leadin' a beggar by a string. Antoinette droipped her polishing rag to steal a side glanoo at the intruders, who approached up the gravel path towards ths house (one at a pi-ancing gait, the other with the air of a person who stumbles through a dark room). It would be hard to say which gave greater evidence of neglect, the dog or his master; but there was in the wide-open, sightless eyes of the mas, added to the ragged regimental coat, that but ill-covered his bent figure, a dumb appeal to-eympathy to which Miss Zetty was quick to respond; while Antoinette, observing that the white dog had eeca-ped. and was sniffing at the petu- nia beds, allowed her attention to wander baek to the glitterlees buttons on the faded soldier coat. At the foot of the piazza steps the beggar paused, upturning a weather-beaten face, and, drawing himself erect, touched his cap, palm outward, in military salute. Ladies. I'm stsre, though. I can't see ye," murmured he, humbly. My dog Skipper led me in, and he mostly senses where there's wimmin-folk what'll give me a bite of meat, or a cup of cold tea. Don't let me put you out, though," he added, with hasty apology. A glass of water and a crust'll do as well." In respectful eilencc he awaited his answer, which came tripping from the lips of the younger sister. Tea? Well, I guess so. and meat, too. I'd like to see an old soldier askin' at our door for a bite of victuals and not get 'em. Come right into the settin' room, where it's cool." She held out a plump hand to help him up the steps, adding, There's a coid bone for the dog, but he'll have to take it on the grass." The old man sank, with a sigh of deep con- tentment, into the willow rocker, which Miss Antoinette placed for him near the open window. "I ain't always been a wanderer," eighed he; "time was when I had a home-and friends. It's queer now," he added, how the smell of them cinnamon roses takes me back to Franconia, where I lived before the war. You ain t lost anyone in that awful struggle, did you, ladies?" Antoinette did not hear the question. She was fluttering about the little tea-table, with cheerful clatter of blue and white dishes, but Zetty, pale and watching the old soldier, with deeply curious eyes, had lingered cloee behind his chair, and she started, darting a. terrified glance at her sister ere replying. Ye&-we-did lose one friend in the wax. He ha6 never come back." On the mantelshelf a little clock ticked cheerfully, and Haas Antoinette, watching for its last stroke of six, announced that tea. was ready. A soft, yellow light from the setting sun filled the room with golden glory, and somewhere in the posy garden a red-breasted robin was eingiiig his vesper song to the Lord. The old man lifted up his head. "There's a. ring in one of your voices," said he, "that sounds natural, yet I can't place it. Seems as if it came to me through the mist of years. Before I went to be a soldier I had a sweetheart.. with jest such a. reedy sweet tune to her voice, but she lived in Franconia. You ain't ever been in Fraaeonia, ma'ain?" His sightless eyes were fixed on Antoinette, who flushed a little, aiwa her plump hand, holding an old-fashioi-ed silver tea-pot, trembled. "We had friend&-Alat--away," murmured she, evasively. "She'd be an old woman now," continued the veteran, forgetting his own question in tender retrospection. "Poor little Lily-bad! You'll excuse me, ma'am, I used to call her that. She wasn't pretty, not lil-c some folks, but her eyes were like stars, a bhinin' through a greyish eky, soft and tender, and her soul was as white as the driven enow." For a moment no one spoke. Lying under a yellow rose bush. Skipper enjoyed his bone after the fashion of dogs who know when they get hold of a. good tiling. His iow growls of (-ep contentment reached his master's ears. Poor old Skipper." mtrsed be; even a dog knowb whtn he's welcome." "And you never went back—to—your sweet- heart after the war was over?" inquired Antoinette, ti.mF, Even her curls had lost their pertneas. Siicnhad moved close to Zetty, and the two sisters Bait bolt upright in their chairs, braced, as if for a hurricane; but Zetty's eyes burned like moons of fire, and a soft flush had changed her cheeks from white to rose colour. Go back to her, a wreck, a cumberer of the earth? -NO; I ODUld not do that. I left her in the prime of my strength, do ye think rd go back to spoil her yotmg life by my jeeJedmc#*? TSiiliail 1< il 1uip+:^1'*V Tnr The c.r--k was drawing in rapidly, and from out ihe corners of the sitting-room grotesque shadows flung themselves across the floor. The old soldier roused himself, as if by a sudden e f as if by a gadden effort, and, sitting up in his chair, buttoned his tattered coat, as if he realised that night was coming. Twas at Yickfeburg I Icet my sight", he exciaimed, with eudden excisemen!. "I had gone through a good many battles without a scar. But that day—that awful day-a shell II buret and robbed me of light and life, and- her. I guess I'd better be movm' on ladies. It's gettin' late, .and I've ntayhe tired you already. He hesitated a moment; then, with, a humility that was pathos itself, added: She gave me a ring one, and I kep' it ia my pocket ever since. I dunno's you'd oare to eee it, but you've been so kind—and—" Antoinette sprang- to her feet: "I can't Etand it another minute," whispered she in Zetty'a ear- I'm goin' out of the room, sa's you can break it to him who you are. Oh! Zetty; you ain't a goin' to let him leave us; him so pore, so lonely, eo —— Tears choked her utterance, but Zetty did not heed them or her. With hands nervously interlaced she watched the old man as he took out from the breast pocket of his faded regimentals a yellow envelope, and touching it with reverent fingers, revealed a ring of pink cornelian, so small that it might ha.ve belonged to a child. He held it out, lying in his extended palm like a flower petal; but she did not. speak, and the eilenoe that followed startled the soldier, who, turning his head from side to j-ide, strove vainly to catch the response that he expected, and at laist it came like a voice from the days of his youth "Enoch! ob! Enoch!" The grins of Yicksburg could not. have roused him more than did that cry out of. the darkness. Like an arrow from the bow j he sped to his feet groping wildly with hands that beat the air like wings. Ob, Zetty!" he cried aloud; "that was Zettys voice. Lord! Lord! let me touch her hand, and see her jest once. Zetty! Zetty! where be you? where be you?" Then Zetty Babcock arose from her chair, and with one hand clutching at her heart, swayed like a storm-tossed true. Only f-ir one moment, though; and the next she had thrown a tender arm about the old boidier, I and drawn. his sightless face close to hers that he could feel her warm breath on his cheek. "After all these years?" he cried; "after ail these days of darkness and wanderings through the wilderness, where has the Lord brought Oh' little Lily-bad, where has He brought lp-F, l"' And Zetty, speaking through a mist of teara, whispered softly in his ear— "Home, Enoch; Home." Two days later there was a quiet wedding at Deepdale; a wedding that aroused no stir in fashionable circles, no comment from the daily papers. But when the bride and groom issued from the Tillage church and walked homeward through lanes whose bordering hedges were ablaze with flowers, who shall measure for them the peace of autumn's after glory? Ahead of the bridal pair, crowned by a. perky white bonnet, was Miss Antoinette, with. gallant and attenti,e escort; for Skipper, not having left her side till the summit of the hill was reached, recognised his new home, and turning to issue sharp barking orders to the party, cheerfully trotted through the, wicket gate, M one who (weary of so much, gadding) gladly enters his own demesne.

AN ADVANTAGEOUS MISFORTUNE.
AN ADVANTAGEOUS MISFORTUNE. That defective hearing is Dot always to be regarded as a misfortune is evidenced by an important appointment to office which an American Secretary of the Treasury onoc made becausc a representative of New York named Ketchani, who requested the appoint- ment, mistook the secretary's cegative answers for affirmative ones. The politician was well advanced in years and as deaf as the proverbial stone post. He wag urged to get a certain appointment, and he wended his way to the Treasury. Is the Secretary in?" he asked. Yes, sir," replied the attendant, but he's btJlSy just now." Ketcham put his hand to his ear, nodded, and walked right in. Mr. Secretary," he said, I want John Wilson appointed as But," replied the Secretary. itii out of, the question. Can't possibly do it." "Thank you, Mr. Secretary; it's very kind of you, sir. John's a fine man, endorsed by the whole oountry, and thoroughly capable. He'll do well." You don't understand," protested the Secretary in a louder voioe. I caalt make tha.t appointment. That offioe is air aad y filled." Thanks," repeated Ketcham, placing thA palm of his right hand against his right cut-. He will do the office credit. I'll wirfe to Wilson right away. I'll have him here on Saturday to take the oath. Thank you agn,in for fixing it --and the venerable New York sta-tesman went direct to the telegraph office and wired to Wilson tha.t the position wa.-t hiE. When the latter appeared at the Treasury Department the Secretary gave him the post.
