It was an attractive cottage, conforming to the style of the times, the early Victorian period, hhd the diamond-paned casement j 'jltlndows, arched heavily by leafy ^tees and bordered by early sprpte flowers, gave it a quaint chaf-V quite in keeping with the little fBnglish sea coast town ot Blundetetone. The hatchet-faced, woman peer ed into the parlor through the window, pressing her nose to the glass so that it looked like a large, flattened biscuit. She saw, sitting by the fire, a young, lovely woman, dressed in mourn ing weeds. There was a sad, fragile sort of beauty about her as she bent forward, intent on placing the white-headed pins on a dainty pin-cushion.

It was then back and forth to aproaeh him as he entered the sitting room, a mild smile of greeting on bis face. “Mercy on the man!’* she burst out. "What’s he doing? Can’t he speak? How is she?"

With a brusque gesture the figure at the window directed her to open the door. Her manner conveyed she was on^ accustom ed to being obeyed. When the door was opened to her, the woman Inspected the girl as critically. “Mrs. David Cop- perfield, I think,” she stated. “Yes,” Mrs. Copperfield ack nowledged faintly. “I am Betsy Trotwood,’’ the woman announced. “You’ve heard of her. I daresay?” ••—I’ve had that pleasure.’’ “Now you see her.” “Pray come in,” Mrs. Copper- field said with youthful dignity. Miss Trotwood marched into the sitting room and glanced around inquisitively, her eyes finally coming to rest on the por trait of Mr . Copperfield. She shook her head sadly. Mrs. Copperfield sat down, her little jerky movements betray ing her nervousness. Miss Trot wood scrutinized her in silence, when suddenly she was astonish ed by a torrent of weeping. “Oh, tut, tut. Don’t do that. Come, come. Welt, bless my heart! You are a very baby!’’ “I’m old enough to be a wid ow,’’ Mrs. Copperfield returned tearfully—“and a mother if I live—”. She tried to cover her eyes with the moist ball of hand kerchief. “I'm all in a tremble. I .^hall di“. I’m sure.” “Nonsense. Have some tea.’’ Miss Trotwood was answered by a fresh burst of tears. “Tut, tut, child,” she said, softening a lit tle.

I have a presentment it will be a girl— and I shall be her godmother. She shall be christened Betsy Trotwood Copperfield. She must be well brought up. I shall see to that.’’ She twitched her head. "Better than my impractical nephew would have done.’’ “Mr. Copperfield has been dead only six months,’’ Mrs. Cop- pcrfield cried agitated'y. “It’s cruel of you to speak unkindly ot him to me.” She continued to sob softly. “Mercy! this will never do.” Aunt Betsy said severely. “You’ll make yourself ill, and that won’t be good, for either you or my god-daughter.” She suddenly no ticed Mrs. Copperfield leaning weakly over to one side. “Bless me!” Aunt Betsy looked around, disconcerted tor the moment to meet the amazed stare of Peggot- ty, who had entered with the tea things. “Peggotty! Pegotty!” Mrs. Copperfield called feebly. Peggotty forgot everything as she saw the serious condition of her beloved mistress. She hur ried to her. just in time to catch Mrs. Copperfield as she fainted in her arms. ‘Oh, my lamb—my precious.” “I’ll fetch the doctor.’’ Miss Trotwood said with characteris tic decision. And after many hours of sus pense, while the, elm trees sway ed more wildly than ever, and Doctor Chillip went about his tasks swiftly and silently.

Then, jamming the bent bon net on her head, she walked Dut ot the house like a discontented fairy. Eight years later, the boy that was to have been a girl, little David Copperfield, sat before the fire in the sitting room. His eyes drooped sleepily every now and then as he read from the book in his lap, while Peggotty listened, her n^ts bostly engag ed in sewing a floe seam.

Murdstone patted David bening- ly on the head, at the same time managing to tontdiiMrs. Copper- field’s hand. With an involuntary gesture of Jealousy David posh ed him away. “Oh, Davy,” Mrs. Copperfield reproached him. “Let us say goodnight, my fine boy,” Mr. Murdstone said heartily. David hung back. “Goodnight,” be murmured. Murdstone laughed good-na turedly. “Come. Let us be the best ot friends.” He offered his hand and David unwillingly put out his left band, clinging to his mother with the right. When Murdstone had gone, Mrs. Copperfield moved about the room lightly, glancing in the mirror casually and fussing with her dress. She was in a spright ly winsome mood, obviously af fected by Murdstone’s admira tion. Peggotty watched her disap provingly. “Hope you’ve had a pleasant evening, ma’am.’* “A stranger or so makes an agreeable change,” she suggest ed significantly. Mrs. Coppertleld smiled, then swung David to her, and for a lew moments the room rang with their laughter, as they romped and whirled about. Finally the boy was deposited in the large chair by the fire, flushed, laugh ing and out ot breath. A moment later his head was nodding and he was dozing to wards deep sleep. The crocodiles' were doing all sorts of fantastic things in a particular delightful dream, when he suddenly came to with a start. At first, he had thought it was a part of the dream. It took him a lew seconds to rea lize, with a sudden cold clutch ing at his heart, that in this house where anger and unpleas antness were unknown, there were two voices now raised high in quarrel; that bitter quarrel some words were being spoken, words that seemed to portend evil things to come.
