This machine pumps fronl 16 t032 gallons per

A STORY WITH TWO ENDS.
Miss Flutters at home 1’
Miss Flullers was at home, John said, in
the drawing room. .Mr. Flutters had left
word he should be home soon, but had not
yet returned from his club
That didn‘t matter; Miss Platters would
do as Well as her papa. John looked doubt-
in . He had Old-fashioned notions, and ap-
proved of chaperoncs, and the slreet door
was held partly open. What was to be
done ?.
Between the hall and the drawing-loom
there was a great golf fixed; the resolute
old hanger-on resembled adamant.~ I repre-
sented that to an engaged man etiquette
slightly nnbends; but this John could not
be brought to see, and lhe return of Mr. Flut-
lers would probably have found me still hov-
ering on his door-mat, had I not unexpected.

Slowly across the darkened hull camea lit-
tle figure in a while.pinafore,with bright curls
falling round a sober little face, and grave
astonished eyes, wondering at the unwouted
sounds that were breaking the stillness of
the twilight hour. '
“Conny,” I said, with a new hope, born of

in 2 Open the door directly."
"Beg pardon, Miss Conny," said tlleold
man glving away before authority, “but Mr_
Stevens wants to see your pups, and your
papa isn't in.”
At this unanswerable argument, Conny
looked puzzled. “Why don’t you go away,
then 1" she said, frowning a little; for my
behaviour seemed to her unreasonable,_ and
Conny had begun to read “Mill's Logic,"and
was no countenancer of folly.
Music Was heard from the drawing-room

» -—thal drawing-room from which lwas ex-
cluded—and I became desperate. The min-
. ulcs were slipping by; precious minutes
when spent in the drawing-room: and she
who might have saved me had gone over to
the opposition, and sided with the butler.—-
“Conny," I said, speaking sensibly. as an ap-
peal to her understanding, and looking
wretched as an appeal to her heart; “I don't
want to see your psps until he comes in, but
I'm tired and cold; mayn‘t I come in and
rest, and warm myself a little at your draw-
ing room fire 1’”
“There's a fire in the dining mom," said
Conny. shrewdly guessing now that John
was protecting the drawing room, and not
feeling quite sure herself as to the proprie-‘
ties; “won't that do i" -
“Well, no,'Conny,” I said. “I don‘t think
it will,it’s so coil and draughly; it made
me dreadfully ill lhe-last time. I couldn‘t
bend my back for a week."
Conny’s pity began to show itself in her
eyes; she looked at John for instruction,
. ready to give in. if her ally were so inclined.
but that worthy was quite unmoved.
“It's all nonsense, Miss Conny.” be said
with a grim smile; “the dining room ain’t
draughty a bit. or. Stevens can go in there
if he likes; there's a beautiful fire. and I‘ll
let him know when your papa comes in." .
In fine. John was not to be donc,—could
by no means be got over; so [accepted the
compromise, and walked disr'nslly in, follow-
ed by Conny, who evidently considering her-
self in the light of my jailer, proceeded to

But I'wouldn'l speak, and soon the pain
in my back caused sundry groans dismal

“It isn’t the fire, Conny." I groaued. “it's:

one thing, but illness, sudden death was an-
olher.
“Come up stairs," she said, with a little
sigh and‘a long drawn breath ; and up stairs
I limped with some diflicully.
“Madeleine," said Conny. with a_ little
quiver in her voiCe, “Mr. Slew-us has got a
stiff back lhrougll sitting in droughts."
" “Very well, Conny dear," said her sister;

emu, always poring over books she can’t nn--
But I couldn’t speak against Conny, wh'ose»
der her pinaforc for imaginary woes, so I
took a sage refuge in silence.
“Can I do anything i" asked Conny, reluc~
tant to go, feelingtps if in some inexplicable
way she was the sole supporter of life in my
frame, that with her absence I should droop
and fall; “shall I run and fclcll some snl vol-
atile, or some slecl wine 1‘"
Conny‘s sister took sal volatile; but Conny
herself took steel wine, and believes in its cf-
ficac .
“ o.no,Conny," said her sister, willl a
fuller fuilll in her own powers of healing as
compared with steel wine, “Mr. Stevens is
all right now; he will do very well lill papa
comes in."
“I’ll come and tell you the very moment
he does," declared Conny at the door; and
having administered this consolation, she de-
parted hopping on one foot solemnly down
stairs. Conny was disposed of, Mr. Flutters
was from home. Delicious and rare combi-
nation of circumstances, for I had a bone to
pick with Madeleine. A bone that could by
no possibility have been picked before Cou-
ny, whose well balanced mind thought light-
ly of sentiment, regarded all love-making as
benealb,her notice, and brought Mill to bear
upon every occasion.
This was the bone :—
Madeleine, the queen of coquetes, engag-
ed to me, was yet, I feared, encouraging an-
other man of the name of Prior; a man
from our club, well dressed, good looking, if
not intellectual lookingpf gentlemanly man-I
nelfl. but inordinately conceited, and confirm:
ed flirt. There was a pleasant character to
have about ahousc! A house, loo, where
the father was eusily pleased, easily satisfied.
fond of society, and ready lohave any num--
ber of gentlemanly fools about him; where
the lady of the house was a mere girl, attrac-
live, charming, fascinating, intensely lovable,
but a coquelle; where the youngest daughter
alone abs «bed the sense.”
“Madeleine," I said, gracefully blurling at
once into the subject the moment we were
left alone: “I find you have got to know
‘Plior during my absence from town.”
No jealously, I flattered myself, in my
tone; no disconlenf. that it should be so.
“Yes," said Madeleine, taking up a pinnlore
of Conuy’s, and settling down. like a staid
little woman to whom coquetry was un~
known.
“You won’t think me a bore, Msdeleinepr
that I wish in any way to interfere with your
choice of friends,—but don't you find Prior
an insufferable coxcomb t"
“No.” said Madeleine, lntenrcly interested
in the formation of button holes: “I don’t
know that I do. Is he not generally liked,
then? Papa think him so very agreeable."
“Since you ask me, Madeleine," I said, “and
'mind, it is albing I never should have men-
tioned of my own accord; I may fell you
that, so far from being generally liked, to
know lhat he was intimate‘at a house would
be quite enough to prevent many men from
visiting at it.”
“Fancy,” said Madeleine, holding up the
piuafore, to be admired,
'51 among them," I went on.
“No Y" said Madeleine, quite unmoved by
4
the assertion.
' wdflmmwfivnwfllflwfi-de‘ --me-rrca1‘rs17l men,- woomg‘lnem lo'lOve her”
declined to show fight.
So, as after war the next best thing is
peace: “Perhaps he does not come here often,
aflel all," I said; “i shouldlhink,indeed,you
would not allow yourself to be bored by him
frequently." . .
“0, I don’t know,” said Madeleine; “I
think I am very often bored,, one way and
another; if. does‘nt so much matter by whom
you know."
Whereby it will be seen, not only that
Madeleine’s views were liberal in the ex-
treme, but that she understood to a nicely
the art of evading delicate questions, and
driving but lovers to despiralion. ,
Jack Stevens was the most easy-going fel-
ow in existence, but it was possible lo drive
him too far. Miss Flutters was relying loo
much on his sweetness of temper. He had
now reached his limit. The lion within his.
British breast was beginning lo'reqnire aliens
tion.
1 put a direct question to her, and walled
for an answer.
“Madeleine," I said, “how often has Mr.
Prior been here during my absence f"
“I haven't an idea," said Madeleine, slip-
ping at once into feminine resources and ac-
cusing her memory. “Conny may recollect,
perhaps; but it doesn’t matter, does it i’" "
Another Ielninine recourse. Madeleine
abandoned her pedestal of indifference when
she saw I was really angry, and descended
to coaxing.
“What can it matter ? You're not going
to pretend that you‘re jealous of Mr. Prior,
Jack ‘2” -
The "Jack" did it. I was her devoted slavo,
not in the least jealous, and full of wonder
at my own suspicions.
“Well, now,“ said Madeleine, when the
pinafore had been duly admired, and small
pieces of my heart had been seWn on to it in
the Greek pattern with braid, and we had
both approved of the effect ; “I will be can-
did with you; you shall never say I don't
tell you everything. Mr. Prior has been here
a good deal."
“Madeleine's candor always gave me pal-
pitations of the heart; 1— never knew what
was coming next. However, I gulped down
this first edition, with the conviction that it
would disagree with me when I came to di-
gest it, happily smiling.
“You won't make lne jealous now Made-
leine," I said kissing her; and tile pinafore‘
fell from her lap. :
“Clumsy!" raid Madeleine, pooling. “YouE
won't let me work. Poor Coni l’m ashamg
ed of you, Jack. You don't behave half as;
well as Mr. Prior; he never does such lhings."
That is to say, reduced to English, Mr. i
Prior was not in the habil of kissing Hisaj
l‘lullera. ‘
I should never have imagined he was my- ;
sell; but Madeleine was so terribly snggeslive r
lhat I began to fuel uneasy, and file lion wilh- "
in me gave a roar.
“Madeleine. if I imagined such a lining:
possible, I should at once resign all claim
over you, without even waiting to speak to

. “That‘s just what Isav," said Madeleine.
quietly; “so you needn't flare up so, or 1
shall not be able to be as candid as I wish.

' frowned at him tomake him say ‘No,’ till i
thought my forehead would nova-r come

“if is llnfnrtunale;" l suid.in as grllfl a voice
as I could manage, with lhe little jewelled
hands pressing me so clpsely, and the blue
eyes glancing—l suppose by accident —at the
engagement ring.
"'Yes, isn't it ?" said Madeleine, eagerly;
and then added, trying lo lake me by storm,
and trusting too much to the softening cir-

what to do to make him leave off. He will
do it, no matter what I do. He will tonight.
You'll see."
To be told, offer a few weeks absence, min
the girl to whom I was engaged was being
made love to by the man I most disliked in
the whole world; and that he would do it!
“Now, you're not angry with me ‘3" said
Madeleine, passing over Mr. Prior‘s offence,
and taking care of number one in a lady-like
way, “because it‘s not been my fallll."
“No. I'm not angry with you, Madeleine,"
Isaid, Leave him to me. He‘ll not make
love to you tonight, I fancy."
This was said with a sneer so very effec-
tive,lllat Madeleint was beginning to look
frightened, when the door opened a very lit-
tle way, and Conny looked in. -
“Papa’s not come,” she said, “but the our-
sery tea is. Come, Madeleine. Perhaps Mr.
Stevens will come too," she added, politely,
cle to the nursery tea, which it was necessary
to remove before she could obtain her sister.
“Tea will do him good. It’s so refreshing,
nurse says.” .
“ I should like nothing better, Conny dear,
and I can carry you up stairs on my back, if
you like."
Cony's eyes sparkled ill. this proposal, and
her cheeks grew bright.
“That would be nice," she said, and prepar.
“Your back," she said ; “it’ll half your back.”
I assured her It would not, and carried her
up, when the queen of the nursery dismount-
ed,placed her horse (my self), in a low chair
by the fire, and her sister in another, and
proceeded to distribute bread and butler, and
tea in mugs.
.You can't have lhe prettiest mug of all,
I'm sorry to say,” Conny informed me, when
she had satisfied herself I could want nota-
ing more, “because I broke it last week. I’m
not generally clumsy, you know, but I did
do that, 83;] it had roses on if, and green
leaves." , V
'I expressed my conviction lhal it must
have been very attractive, professing myself
at the same lime full of admiration of lhe
mug I was using, and Conny's sense of hos-
pitality was satisfied.
“Could you tell me a story?" she inquiref,
sliding down from her high chair, when all
the bread and butter whs eaten up, and her
sister had refused to cut her any more;
“or don't you feel well enough ?" _
“I'll tell you what, Con," said her sister
dccisivcl y, “you'll get no story till you're
washed for dessert. Go and have your hair
brushed, yuor ban is, washed and your frock
changed, and then you may come and sit
with Mr. Stevens while I dress for dinner.”
80 Conny ran off, and I was left with
Madeleine, with the warm glow of the our.
3er fire throwing red lights on her brown
hair, and brightening her sweet face into
new henuly. At such a moment, who Could
have believed she was a coquetlc, before
whose wilcllery young and old fell all alike,
fondly believing the while they had “made
an impression '1’" Long I sat thus, drinking
in long droughts of happiness, building
cssllcs of colossal height, all to be inhabited
by one enchantress whose wickedness took
by her gentleness, driving them to madness
by the laugh in her eyes But this beautiful
witch had said that she loved me, had prom-
ised to come and live in my fine castles, and
inhabit my high towers,and from henceforth

brought her books,—slory-bocks, I suppose,
-and gave her a paint-box, and a dog with
a collar, and went out for rules with her,and
took her at night to hear music. Very pO'
lite wasn’t it ‘2" Conny looked up in my
face, and didn’t undersland the expression
she saw there. '
"You don’t. like it," :she sold; “I shall
leave 00."
“I do like it; it‘s my back makes me look
so. Go on, dear. Iwant lo hear the end.
What did the young lady do ? Take the
things he brought her? Enjoy the rides and
the music ? Throw the absent one over ?”
“I don't understand you," said Conny, in
her most sensible manner. “How cruld she
throw him over when he was away ; and
what should she throw him over ? Very
silly l" Having expressed her opinion, Con-
ny went quickly on, that she might hot be
blamed for having given it.
“Well ! He talked, and talked (the bad
one did) and said such nice things, that
sometimes he didn’t seem ball at all, Made-
line said ; though he was always really, you
know. And she could not help liking him
very much, and thinking i: would be very
pleasant to have all his beautiful things for
her very own, and go and live with him in
his fine large house. Did I tell you he
wanted her to go and live with him ?” asked
Conny, breaking off. V
“The end Conny; did she say she would ?’
“Why, no," said Conny, at once sensibly,
and wilhimpalience; “that wouldn’t have
been ending happily, would if, when the
olher one was good ?" He was the best fei-
low in the world Madeline said.”
“Goodness is not always appreciated."
There was bitterness in my tone, and Con-
ny lifted the pump in reproof. "
“Always," she said,“when{lhiugs end hap-
pily."
She had no intention of moralizing, but
imagined she was stating a fact.
“Well, Conny it"
“Well, she thought all this, till she remem-
bered the other one, and how fond he was
of her, and how po‘ite he had always been,
though he had not nearly such beautiful
things as the bad one had, which, of course,
prevented him from being as polite as could
have been wished. When she remembered
lhis, she told lhe bad one he might live in
his fine house himself and keep all the bean
tiful things" (here Conny got considerably
excited ; she spoke with flushing eyes, and
hands that geslicula led, dealing me blows
with her puzzles and pump) “that she
didn't want them, and would n’t live with
him, because she loved the good one better
than she had ever, loved him. And so do
I" said Conny, winding up rather abruptly
and siding with virtue. “Is n't it pretty.”
The pull up was so very sudden that I
was not prepared with an eulogium.
“Don't you like it ?" asked Conny dlsnp.
pointed at my silence. “It’s so pretty when
Madeleine tells it, and much longer. -I think
I spoilt it with my Words."
“Like it? It’s perfectly charming. I Was
thinking it over Con. dear. I should so
like to hear the other end now."

When the good one comb sack, he" found
that the beautiful young lady—Madeleine
did n‘t say she was beautiful, but I like to
think she was—had—g l‘.:- ;: -far—with
rk1,
with me and my restraining hand. And I
was no ways afraid. Love is a strong sub—
duer; now sitting beside me her hands
clasped in mine, and her blue eyes watching
my castle fade and die outin the. fire, Prior
was as far from her thoughts as from those
Of little Conny, who in white frock and col-
ored ribbons, had returned from her abla—
lions as fresh and bright as a daisy, and was
now slanding beside lnc, watching our quiet
happiness with some impatience and a little
scorn.
“Poor Con," said Madeline, rousing a lit-
tle, and blushing under the child‘s scrutiny;
“how stupid we all are, ar’nt we ? I should
soon have gone to sleep it you had not come
in. I think it must have been the tea ; that
and the fire combined. How are you a go-
ing to amuse Mr. Stevens while I am dress-
ing for dinner 1’"
“I shall show him things,” said Conny,
promptly. And Madeline left meto amuse—
ment.
“Now for the story ” drawing Conny, lwo
puzzles and a toy pump up to a place on
my knee, and stroking her curls. “What‘s
it to be about ? I can tell you a story about
anyllliug you like," I declared rashly; and
Conny instantly put me to open shame.
“Then tell me,” she said, holding on by
her pump, and sellllng herself into a position-
of perfect ease, with a delighted conscious-
ness that it would be beyond my powers,
“tell me the story Madeleine tells me the
night's that you don't ome here."
I was completely taken aback. Some
slory,of Madeline’s? Madeline, whose bril-
liant imagination could keep Conny quiet
for an hour together ‘2
“You would never guess, I see." said Con-
ny, “what if is, and if you don't guess, you
can‘l, of course, tell if. Shall hell it lo you

line, I lhink."
“You have heard it very often, then i”
“Very ofien," assented Conny ; “every
night when you don’t come here, Madeline
comes and sits in that low chair, and takes
me on her lap. She turns up her prelly
gray silk, you know, for fear I shall crease
it, and I sit on her pelticoat, and she tells
me the story." '
“Always the some t"
“Always the same," said Conny, shaking
her curls; but I don't get tired, it‘s so prelly
and the end is difi'erenl. sometimes."
“The end is different, Conny i"
“There are two ends l” said Conny, ex.
plaining ; “one is very prelly indeed. Made-
leine likes that one best. I think she tells it
oflenlsf, but sometimes she tells the other
once when I kissed her, her face was all
wet."
“ I'm afraid it will be too sad, Conny; I
think l'llhear the other end first. Begin,
please."
“Well don‘t wrigglc,"said‘Conny, evident-
ly beginning from the usual starting-point,
and the story was commenced.
“Once upon allure" said Conny. “there
wag a young lady who had two lovers, one
very good, and one very bad. They were
both very fond of her and very polite.’
(Conny‘s notion of love-making was polite-
ness carried to its extreme limit.) “And she
liked thorn both, one in her heart and one in
her manner." '
Here Conny gavealillle gasp. “Do you
like it 1’" she asked.
“Excessively.” I assured her; “but I don't
understand, Conny, ‘sud one in her manner.‘

And I suppose she knows.”

“Illlought so,” said Conny, donblfully,
“but Madeline said, ‘No, it often happened.’
“Probably," I agreed; and the story went
on.
“The good one, the one she liked in her
heart, you know, had to go away. for a long
time, where he couldn't see her at all. And

“Be quiet, Tom, this minute,“ fluhd
Madeleine, turning as red as the meat be;

“Tom's a very naughty boy isn’t he, pol i"
asked Mr. Flutters of his youngest littll
daughter, who had listened to this edifyi
scene with praisewortby attention, and
brought her whole intellect to bear upon it.
“Very," returned Conny. “I dont like
Mr. Prior myself, but Splatter: Shouldn't talk
so.”
And Conny swept herself and her sister
out of lhe room.
All this was dampening. We werewvery
doll, that Prior, who was easily bored, pro
ferrcd the society of the ladies, and abscond'
ed to the drawing room, whither I should
certainly have followed him had not Mr.
Flullels (who‘had as‘mucb tact as could have
been expected from the father of such a boy
as Tom) been so very anxious to know the
exact point to which stupidity could carry me
on the subject of Reform, that, without posi-
tiVe incivilily, I found it impossible to leave
him. When, however, it had been clearly
proved what a fool I was, there seemed noth-
ing further for which to remain, and I left
my future falher-in-law to discuss the smile
of file nation with his son. '
The evening passed quietly enough, enliv-
ened by snatches of song from Madeleine,
who seemed too restless to go steadily
through anything, but made the room sweet
wilh beginnings and ends. Tea was placed
on the table, and I completely swamped my-
self in that liquid, Madeleine holding the un-
comfortable lheory that the more domestic!

“Going my way i" said that hero at length,
admiring his hands in lavender kids, and
then generally offering them all round.
I assured him I was not; so, looking euro
prised, he took his departure.
“Mr. Stevens," said Madeleine, in a low
chair, quiet and grave, like a heroine of Con-
ny’s story, when-she had made up her mind,
it would be very pleasant to have beautiful
things for her very own: “I have made a
mistake."
I‘thoughl the assertion so very likely lobe
correct, that I made no attempt ateontradio-

“While you have been'away',” said Model-

Madeleine seemed to lhink so also. She
smiled through her tears, and looked up at
me from under her eyelashes.
“I’m so sorry,” she said again.
I instantly said I was sorry too (that be-
ing the correcllhing to say under the cir- '
cumstances.)
“O, my eye, what a game it is!” said
Splulters, with his usual tact, bursting in
at breakneck speed. “There's been each a
jolly row ! The governor's been pitching in-

“Dinner, J sch," said a beautiful young

The dinner was perfection ; all my favor-
