AT PINK HOUSE.
John Port held a su bordinnto post on
the Eastern Bengal State railway. and
the post carried with it, besides accr-
tain number of rupees per month, a lit-
tle pink house that sat very flat upon
the ground near the railway line. It
was also near a tank and had in conse—
quence a green, dank gnrdm, win-re
marigolds and poppies sprawled together
and big bushes. starred with the scarlet
shoe flower, grew in inhnrmonions fel-
lowship with the magenta masses of the
bougainvilleu. A decaying tree trunk
was glorified by tho tangled \vmathsuud

It never entered into the mind of
Mn. Gaspar-w that any woman could
possiblyuse a duster on her wedding
day. ‘
John and Ellen walked into their
garden when the sun was low, and El-
len spied its flowery tangles with a
practical eye. “It‘s a waste of land,"
she said. “Couldn’t We in some
greens instead of all that 'ighbiscns?”
And John marveled at her erudition.
She had once attended a series of botan-
ical lectures at Kew, organized by her
Sunday school teacher.
“Things will look mom“ ’omelikfi
presently." said Ellen asshe fastened
strings outside the veranda for scarlet
runners to be trained upon.
She was bending over the strings as
she spoke. and John stooped and kissed
her smooth hair a little awkwardly. ”I
knew you’d make it seem different
when you came. old girl,” he said
huskily.
“Oh, it is nice to be 'ere. " said Ellen.
Three days Inter Mrs. Gasparez came
to cull, picking her way through the red
dust of the road with little minoing
steps. She was quite young and very
stout, and her fat, brown face was
naively and thickly coated with powder.
She had abundant shiny black hair and
small, good natured eyes. She Wore a
bright blue merino dress trimmed with
thin satin that crackled like paper. A
capo on her shoulders jnngied with
bonds, and there were red and yellow
flowers in her bonnet. .A, little observe
tion had corrected hcr mistake as to
”thee bride’s English maid,” and, al-
though she considered Ellen n permn of
low ideas, there was no one else to talk
to. and she was prepared to be kind to
her. There was no servant to be seen in
tho vertuida, and Mrs. iinspnrcz raised
her shrill voice in vain.
"Ooh, I hope this is not a vcrco great
libertee,” said Mrs. Gnsparcz as, tired
of waiting. she stepped into the little
sitting room. But the room was empty.
She examined it critically. "Verne
neat." she said. “but not at all smart!
My, onlec two antimacass!”
She sat down, very gentcelly, on the
edge of a chair. Her finances crackled
stiflly. Five minutes later tho bride ap-
peared. She wore a big apron. and she
was turning down her sleeves.
‘r'UOll, lam some to have disturbed
you. I see you have been unpacking, "
said Mrs. ilnspmez politely.
“I'm very glad to see you, and I 'opo

Ellen. “but I didn‘t see you Come, and

“Ooh. you will soon grow lazee, we
shall see.”
In the course of the next few months
something very like a friendship grow
up between those two dissimilar wom—
en. John Port was often away, up and
down the line. and Ellen became a fre.
quent visitor at the house opposite. It
was a larger house than her own, but it
always appeared hopelessly crowded
The smell of savory meats lingered in
that house, and odors of garlic, kero-
sene oil and bad tobacco. strangely blend—
ed. never left it. The dogs and the chil»
dren left bones about, to be tumbled
over and kicked into corners. The
clothes of the household seemed to have
the habit of straying and were to be
met in unexpected places. The boats
and shirts of Mr. Guspnrez, the brilliant
rnirnentof his wife and the tattered lit-
tle garments of the children had alike
no abiding city. Nothing, indeed. was
in its right place. The baby was lulled
to fltfnl slumbdr in an armchair, while
a tailor, hired for the day. squatter]
sewing on nchild’s cot. Mrs. Gnsparcz’s
abundant hair was generally brushed,
and oiled on the front veranda. and the
three older children nte strange meals
at odd hours sitting on the floor of any
room they happened to be in, surround-
ed by servants, puppies and tame birds.
Presently Ellen tried, built by precept
and practice, to instill a little order into
the chaos. but Mrs. Gasparoz, stout in
a white dressing gown, only laughed at
her efforts:
“Ooh, you are verce sillcoi Whntdoes
it matter? Wait till the babies come to
your house, and then you will not be so
particularleo neat. "
Although Ellen was too courageous to
make any confessions, the cruel heat of
a Bengal summer was a revolution of
terror to her. Silo fought the heat with
her favorite prescription of hard Work.
Indeed her husband, who was a great
deal away, hardly realized how much
she did. She cooked and cleaned, she
mended and made clothes. silo own
washed clothes sometimes, earning
thereby bitter headaches and thoscorn
of “('1' neighbor, but u iirtu sense of
right sustained her.
“Just think of what I’d be doing at

husband noiivvd that lli'!‘ fresh face had

looked at herself in theglase with new

“I do wish it didn't make one are
plain for so long. ” she said to the worn
face and ungainly figure she sawre~
fleoted there. .
And all this while Ellen took no heed
c! the new world round her. She heard
the wedding music from the surging
ways of the native town, and she said,
“Well, they are making a noise. ” She
saw the dead slowly borne past the lit
tle pink house to the funeral pyre. and
she said: “They're going to burn ’im.
Isn‘tit 'orrid?" She lived in India, save
for the wide diilerence of heat, discom-
fort and loneliness, exactly as she would
have livedin England. The only native
with whom she held anything approach-
ing to speech was Abdool, a crown rep-
resentative indeed, and the conclusion
she drew from her study of his char-
acter was that they were “a dirty lot. ”
She took no interest in her surround-
ings. The little pink house in its wealth
of strange flowers was only pleasing to
her because it had been allotted to her
husband, and she trusted the garden
Would look more homclike when a child
played there. She watched the long line
of rails down which John’s train would
come without a thought of what the
land had been before the wonderful iron
rend traversed it. There was no romance
for her in the widely varyingtrncts that
train came through, and she had no dc.
sire to see more of the country in which
her lot was cast. “The gorgeous eriet”
held for her neither glamour nor glory.
Her days Were passed in an mldlesa suc-
cession of small duties and in secretly
hoping that she would feel better to-
morrow.
Toward the end of November Abdool
ran over to Mrs. Gaspurez’s house one
morning with an urgent message.
“My. " said Mrs. Gnsparez as she
caught up a colon topce, “0an seven

That was at breakfast time, and John
Port was away up the line and would
not return till the morning of the next
day.
“I am sorry to bother you, " said El-
len through her agony, “but I was that
bad all night, and I slid want some one
to speak to. "
“Ooh, I will stay gindlee,” said
Mrs. Llasparez, "and Twill send for the
doctor, and you will soon be nhl right. "
The doctor canto presently and went
and came again. Mrs. Gaspar-oz wept
