THE LINEN CLOSET,
' Tor my part," said Aunt Sylvia, "I
lou't ,'nlmire the young man,"
Minnie Hartford's retty head
Hopped slightly, ami she thought
within herself how little, of the sym
pathetic eleiir nt existed between oh I
maid aunts and lT-yearuld nieces, and
wondered if there ever had heen a
time when Aunt Sylvia, too, was
young, with the fresh electric current
if love stirring in her pulses!
Minnie Dart for 1 wa a ha.el-eyt'd,
roii checked little witch, with perfect
ly arched eye-brovs, an I a inoiilh as
fresh ns the freshest roeliud In all the
garden howers, and her white dress,
shining faintly through the summer
twilight, seemed to lloat round her
like a cloud, as she sat there, watch
ing the stars that glimmered irnlis
initly through the purple deeps of
ihe sky, and thinking how very un
reasonable Aunt sylvia was.
"No," said the older lady, jerking
tier knitting-needle into its sheath
with an emphasis, "I do not fancy
Herbert Arundel !"
"He is our guest, Aunt Sylvia."
"Von nrn mistaken there, Minnie.
He came here uninvited, with your
brother's friend, Mr. Lee."
"Hut now that he is here. Aunt, we
must treat him with courtesy.'
, "I've no objection in life to treating
him with courtesy, child; but I've a
sort of an idea that he would like you
to treat him with something warmer
nml more enthusiastic !"
How thankful Minnie Hartford was
at that moment to the friudly dusk
which veiled the crimson blushes that

Hail it then come t that? Was
!ie, indeed, learning to love Herbert
Arundel y And a thrill of strange,
inexpressible happiness eddied through
her heart, as her Inmost consciousness
answered:

Aunt Sylvia listeneii lor an answer,
but noni) came. Minnie hardly knew
what reply it would be be-d to frame.
"I think, Minnie," said tl hi lady,
altera moment or t wo of silence, "that
it would be better for you to accept
Antonia Wyllis' invitation to spend
the month of September at her home.
It will at least separate you from the
companionship of this young man,
and "
"Hut I don't want to bo separated
from him, Aunt Sylvia."
Minnie spoko with spirit and ener
gy, and the color deepened visibly on
her cheek.
"Minnie!"
"Aunt Sylvia!"
"Has it gone so far as this?"
'I don't know what you mean by
it,' " responded the girl, biting her
lips; "but I do know, Aunt Sylvia,
that I shall not run away from Mr.
Arundel as if I feared some strange
contagion in his presence. This is my
home, and here I shall remain to en
tertain my brother's guests as best I
may!" .
"Irrespective 'onscnuenees ?"
"Ves; entirely Irrespective of con
sequences." Aunt Sylvia remonstrated no fur
ther; she saw quite plainly that it
would m of no use. Minnie, like
many another spoiled child ind petted
beauty, was determined to have her
own way.
Aunt Sylvia was no logician; neither

door, anil the old housekeeper put her

"Miss Minnie, the sheets is ready
for the linen closet!"
"The sheets!" Minnie shrugged her
shoulders a little impatiently. "Why
couldn't old I'eggy have waited?
Very well, I'eggy, I'll see to that,
presently!"
"Hut they ought to be put iiway
now, miss," persisted the obdurate old
servant. "I've .strewed sprigs of Ia -Wider
and dlicd rose leaves between
all the folds, and if you'll please to
put them on the shches now "
Minnie rose with a scarcely sup-
pressed sigh. She knew I'eggy too
well to hope for anv peace- until her
behests were fulfilled.
The heap of snowy linen lay on the
hall table, white and fragrant th rough
the toils of I'egiry's skilled iligits, ami.
taking a pile on her arm, Minnie Hart
ford went to the linen closet, a small
room, opening out on that allotted to
the pre.-.eia occupation of Clarence
I.ee and Mr. Herbert Arundel.
she glanced timidly in before she
entered, to make sure that neither of
hir brother's guests were in the apart-
incut, and then hurried through
to
place the linen iu its nook.
she had scarcely reached up to de
posit the pile on the high shelf above
her head, when voices and footsteps
fell on her ear, and, with a palpitating
hear, Minnie felt that she was like a
caged bird, among the shelve, laden
willi sheets and pillow-cases. Mr.
Arundel hail filtered his room the
spicy odor of his cigar already pro
claimed the fact to her olfactories,
even were there no other witnesses,
and with him a stranger had been
ushered in.
Minnie stood quite still, hoping that
their incursion was but for a moment.
and their withdrawal would presently
leave her free to beat a retreat.
The
tloor of the clmet was partially draw:'
to, and she was at least sure of not
being discovered. The
dor rose to
her cheek at the idea ol thus involun-
taiily playing the pari of eavesdropper;
j but w hat t'l.si! could she do?
I '"sit down, Lewis," cried Mr. Arim
j del, drawing forward an easy chair;
"make yourself at home. Vour cigar
: isn't out, I hepe?"
i "No, it's all right," said the strange
I voice. "I say, old fellow, speaking of
i making one's self at home, it strikes
me thai you are practising the thing
j yourself rather extensively here!"
Arundel laughed,
j "1 am at home," be said complacent
j ly. "Why, bless your heart alive,
. Lewis, the good people here think I'm
the greatest man alive."
"They'll lind their mistake after
awhile."
"Not until I've made a sure thing
of it," answered Arundel.
"What do you mean?"
"I mean that 1 am going to marry
the girl."
"What, the little heiress?" echoed
the man whom Arundel hail called
Lewis.
"Well, yi s, if you choose to call her
so. No great heiress, alter all; but I
dare say I can lind a use for her twenty-live
thousand dollars. And. to
crown all, she's desperately in love
with me."
The ot lit r laughed hoarsely- a
sneering sound, which made the blood
boil indignantly in Minnie Hartford's
veins.
"You always did play the deuce
among the girls," he said. "So she's
in line with you, eh?"
"Ves. It's quite amusing to watch
the progress of her infatuation,"
answered Arundel. "I haven't pro
posed yet, simply because I don't want
to precipitate the moment. Bless you,
she jump into my arms to-morrow if I
were to pop the question!"
"ShcM jump out again quick
cnougli, il she Knew you half as well
as I tin!"' jeered tin' other.
"Hut she don't, you sec!" naitl
Arumli'l. " 'Where ignorance is bliss,

oltl saying. And this ln'st of it is dial.
I've somehow contrived to cut out

around after her ever since she was ;

'She's a fool!" was the muttered
comment.

"but then you and I know that all
women are fools."

And, wth alow inclination of her
head Miss Hartford passed Iroin tin
room, ami Hcihcrt Arundel never saw
her more !
He left town the self-same evening,
carrying with him tho interesting
I consciousness that ho had overplayed
part and thwarted his own plans.
And Clarence never knew what had
opened the eyes of his capricious liltlt
charmer. He only rejoiced that sin
hail once nmre taken him into favor.
"Well," saitl Aunt Sylvia, on tin
inoriiing of the day on which Minnii
Hartford became Mrs. Clarence I.ee.

"And I'm the happiest young one.

Tom's sister Nell was pretty, and
being a year older than Tom, wanted
to show her authority over him. Tuin
was rough and awkward, a i l just at
that age when a boy resents all int'd
' tiling wilh his "rights." He would
' put his hands in his pockets, his chair
on Nell's dress ami Ins feet on the
window sill. Of course they often
quarreled.
"Tom, I don't believe you've combed
your hair for a week!"
"Well, w hat's the use? It would
be all roughed up again in '.ess than
an hour."
"I tin wish, 'Tom, you would take
your great boots oil' the window
sill!"
"Oh, don't bother me. I'm reading,"
Tom would say, and th" bouts refused
to stir an inch, whit h of couiso was
very naughty. Ami so it would goon
from morning till night.
Hut little I less hail a diiterent way
with .somewhat stubborn Tom. Hess
seemed to understand that coaxing
was better than driving; and some
times when he sat with both hands
! plunged iu his pockets, Hess, with a
book or picture, would nestle down
beside him, ami almost, before he knew
it mm hand would be patting his curls
while the other turned the leaves or
held tho pictures. If she chanced f()
see his feet on the window sill, she
would say:
".lust try my ottoman, Tom, dear,
and see how comfortable it is to the
feet;" and though Tom occasionally
growled in a good-natured way about
it being too low, the boots always
came down. Whenever his hair look
ed very rough, she would steal behind
him and smooth it out in a way Tom
liked so well that it was a temptation
to let go rough just for tho pleasure ol
having her comb it. Yet, for the
next three days, at least, he would
take special pains to keep every hair
in its place, simply to pb-ase little
1 less.
As they grew older, Hess, in the
same quiet, loving way, helped him to
grow wise and manly. If she had an
interesting hook, she always wanted
Tom to enjoy it with her; if hhe w ere
going to call on any of her young
friends, Tom was always invited to go
with her.
'I can't understand," said Lady
Nell, "why you should want that boy
forever at your heels. 1 1 j rough and
awkward as a bear."

Mmy Miles to Land.
A llag with perpendicular bais of
red and w hite floats over the root of a
large building in town, says a Nan
tucket I Mass. j letter to the New
York stin. The building is the Cus
tom House, so called through tradition,
for no vessel ever enters this port from
foreign lauds now, and there can be
no customs to collect. It i s conducted
by a number of suj erannuated old
sea captains, who smoke all day and
weave tremendous sea yarns for the
bcneiit of any city man who may
chance along. One wea'hprbe.itei, old
salt told a prize story Lit Iy-. and now
the others are racking their brains for
something to surpass him, lie said:
"I left Nantucket on May I-'i, lll,
as second mate oi tin snug bark Anna
sriowilon, ( apt. Keiah Collin, bound
for the Pacific Ocean. I'm not going
to tell you of our trip around the
Horn, although that was rather lively
and we did lose two men tnerboard,
but will get right down to the bottom
facts of what I started in to tell. We
had already killed two big whales, and
were poking around about four hun
dred miles north of the sand wn h N
lands, w hen we sighted a big fellow
a blowing not a mile away. Tin liM
mate and luysell put oil' in tw.i boats,
but I bad the likeliest crew, and
struck the whale liist struck him
hard, too, bei iiiisc he was spoil' intr
blood in live minute, .lint then we
saw another whale and the first mate
put out alter that one. The bark
tried to beat up in our direction, but a
.squall came mi and we lost sight of
her. The waves were so big that we
should have been capsized if we had
not kept to the leeward of the whale,
which we had killed before the squall
struck us. Its big carcass formed a
sort of breakwater. Hesides that the
oil that ooed from its Wounds seemed
to quiet the waves. W e wi re afraid
some big waves Would throw the
whale mi t"i of us, but by keeping the
oars going we managed to stay at a
safe distance.
"When tho storm passed over not a
sign id the bark was to be seen. There
we w ere anchored to a whale out iu the
middle of tin- J'acilic Otean, with not
more than two days' rations of bread
ami wat'i- fur the seven men in that
little boat. We waited all that day in
hopes of seeing the ship, and at night
we bul lied some blubber on the l ack
of the whale, but no help came. When
morning came and no sail could be
si en, w e knew that there was no hop.
of finding our vessel again, and there
was nothing to do but to pull awav
in the tliiection of the Sandwich Is
lands, trusting to roach them before a
violent storm should overwhelm us.
We cut our harpoons out ol the w hale,
because we didn't know when we
might neetl them. There is one of
them in the corner there now. liuid
ing the boat with a compass which I
always carried with me, we pulled
away lor the Sandwich Islands. We
made forty miles that day, and the
men were terribly tired We.sli.pt by
wiiti'lics1, oil and mi, and by pulling
now anil then perhaps gained ten
miles during the night. The riex'
day the nun were worn out, and the
sun was so hot that they could let
work their oars. Our chances of
reaching land seemed very poor.
Toward noon I was standing mi the
bow of the boat looking around iu
hopes of seeing a sail, when I saw a
tin-hack whale coinu to the surface lint
more than 'J'MI yards away. It was no
use to us now, but the whaleman
instinct was too strong within me to
be resisted.
"'Hive way.' I cried. 'There she
blows."
"I picked up a harpoon, and as the
prow of the boat almost lunched the
whale I drove the point deep into iis
side. It failed to reachawtal point,
and away the big fellow went. Tim
line ran out so lasi ,,i irsi that it made
theiails ke, and I laised t he bat. hi t
ready to cut it, lor I lean"! I lie whale
would draw us under, I'm! the stiain
slackened alter a little until there was
only a moderate pull, and giving the
end a twist around a row lock I let the
w hale tow us along.
'"Tins is better uor row ing,' siid
one.
"Yes, and he's going in the right
direction,' said another.
"They were quite right. The w hale
was taking us in the right direction
wo wished to go at the rate of fully
twenty miles an hour. We bowled
along merrily all that afternoon, ami
about ti o'clock we heard a hail, anil
saw, not far away, tho mate's boat.
'"Hold on !' they cried.
"We can't,' Throw us a line," 1 re
plied.
"W caught their line as we sweet
i by, and then the whale had two boats
i in tow. The men in the other boat
were worse oil than we had been, as
; they had pulled longer. They bad
' given up hope when we came along
side. You may not believe it, I nit
that whale kept straight ahead j: 1 1 that
1 ii'ght ami the next day. and in the af
ternoon we sighted land. I thought
the critter would i un right up tn t be
shore, but he came ab ait win n not
more thin a mile away, and would
have taken us out to sen agiiu only I
cut the line.
I "'t hat harpoon in t he corner w hich
' I spoke f f before is the very one be

my name on it. if y "U don't believe me.
The ship Anna II "gers of Ncv lied

and finding the harpoon in its back
sent it to me. I was sorry that whale
