AX OTHER TAST LODGER RELATES HIS EXPERIENCE
AS 'A POOR RELATION.
If was about seven on a frosty evening when
I arrived at the! imposing entrance of Rutland
llall. No cousin George cama rushing out to
meet me; "Of bourse not," I thought.; "I am
unuse.d to their formal manners in this country.
He is lying in wait for me on the mat inside'
I Avas'admitted by a solemn perstm as quickly
and meciianically as though my restoration to
Lome aud kindred were a thing that had hap
pened regularly Jin his presence every day since"
his birth, lie jushered me into a gfand hall,
but no mat supported the impatient feet of the
di'saided master of the house. "Ah !" said I,
"even this, perhaps were scarcely etiquette. No
ioubt he stands chafing on the drawing-room
hearth jug, and: I have little enough time' to
make myself presentable before dinner." So,
resigning myself to circumstances. I meekly fol
lowed a guide who volunteeiel to conduct me
to the chamber assigned to my especial use. " I
had tt travel a considerable distance before I
reached t. "Dear me" I remarked to myself
when I did reach it, "I had expected to find the
rooms in such arouse, more eleganlly appointed
than this ! ' j 5 ...
I made my toilette, and again submitting my -
self to my guide, was conveyed tp the drawing
room door. AH the way down stairs I had been
conning pleasant speeches with which to greet
iay kinsfolk. I. am ?iot a brilliant person but

. Arriving at this conclusion, T raised my
glance, and met, full, the observant gaze of a
pair of largo shrewd grey eye3. My little hos
tess for the time being was regarding me with
such a curiously legible expression on her-face,'
that I could not but iead it and be amused. It
said plainly: "I knew more about you than
you think, and I pity youi You1 come here
with expectations which- will not be fulfilled.
There is much mortification .in store for you. I
wonder you came - here at all. If I were once

now any one glance could say all this was a
riddle: but it did say all this. The lanrruajre of
the face was as simple to me as though every
word had been translated into my ear. Perhaps
a certain internal light, kindled long ago, before
this little orphan was born, or George Rutland
had become o wner of Rutland Hall, assisted me
in deciphering s6 much information so readily.
However that may bo, certain things before
surmised became assured faets in my mind, and
a quaint bond of sympathy became at once es
tablished between me and my companioh.
" Miss "Rny," l said, "what do you think of
man who, having been abroad for 'fifteen
years, has. the impudence to come home with
out a shilling in his pocket ? Ought he not to
be stoned alive V
" I thought how it was,r said she, shakinar
ner nead, and looking up with, another ot her
shrewa' glances. " I knew it, when they put
you into such a bad bedroom. They are keep
ing all the good roomc for the people who are
coming next week. The house will be full for
Christmas. It won't do," she added, medita
tively. " What won't do ?" I said.
' Year not.ha.ving a shilling in your pocket.
They'll sneer at you for it, and the servants
wilt find itout. I have a guinea that old Lady
Thornton gave me on my birthday, and if you
would take the loan of it I should be very gtad.
I don't want it all, and you could pay me back
when you are better off.
She said this with such business-like gravi-
guinea. I suggested as much to'Teecie one
evening as she sat by, watching the . distribu
tion, and she nodded her head in sage satisfac
tion. She' thought that I economised' my sub
stance very well. It covered a great many
sman extravagances j mat guinea did.
Whatever might be my position at Rutland
IJall, Teecie Ray's was deeply intolerable. A
spiritless brave must, have beeti cowed and bro
ken by it: a nature less delicate must have
been blunted and made coarser The servants'
openly neglected her, the childrenused her as
they pleased; wreaked their humors on her
sparing neither blow nor taunt in their passions'
and demanding fro'm her at aJUimes whatever
service it suited their capricious fancy to need.
Nurse, the only one who over showed a grain of
consideration for the orphan, would sometimes
shield hCr from their impish attacks, when she
could do so with safety to hersejfj'but she was
not permitted to deal with those darlings in th
only fashion which would have been atalljikely
to bring them to reason. As .for the elders of
the house, Teecie Ray's momentary presence,
or the mere mention of her name, was sufficient
to rufiTe their peace of mind. Whatvis to, be
done with that girl I heard 3irs. Rutland re

Ah, yes, but there was something more !
There was a blazing fire which jsent eddying
whirls of light through the shadows, and right
in the blush of jts warmth a little figure was
lounging in an easy chair. - The little figure
was a girl qf apparently, about fifteen orslxteen
Jarsof agt, dresseQ in a short shabby black
irock, who was evidently spoiling her yes by
reading by firefight. " She lay with her hair
thrown back, a jmass of fair curly hair being

to laugh. She had evidently taken me under
her pretection.- Her keen little wits foresaw
snares and difficulties besetting ray steps durr

eyes, sne imagined, must oe ignarantiy ouna.
I looked at ber with: amusement, 'as- she sat
there seriously considering my financial inter

dential relation that had sprung up so spontane
ously between us.a I said gravely :
'I am very mnch obliged to you for your of
fer, and will gladly take advantage of it. Do
you happen to have the guinea at band ?
She seized her crutches, and ', limped quickly
out of the room. Presently she returned with
a little bon-bon box, which she placed in my
hand. Opening it, I found one guinea, wrap-
