Everybody blamed everybody else and finally took the b ame upon themselves. Cora s eighteenth birthday came on the twen4" Day of december 1874, and that Day she was made Happy by a gift from her Xauier of a Beautiful Seal skin suit sae quo Muff Boa and Cap. Nothing could exceed her Delight and she danced about the House followed by her Little brother Louie who not Content with exclamations of admiration must feel the soft fur with his Small Sticky hands much to Cora s Dis Comfort. You had bettor take your cloak Oil you Don t want it worn out before said Maggie a Friend who had come to spend the holidays with Cora. To danger Maggie it seems pretty Tough in but i d better be at work or j won t have that Scarf finished so Cora removed her finery and As Slu put it carefully away she said there s my old Sealskin Muff i believe i la Send that to Cousin Ella i of a christinas he Maggie lust the thing ii she is fond of cast off laughed Margie. Indeed she is. You see can t afford to give her Many give her every thing i m tired Wear put the Scarf around his Long neck and indulged in Many Broad grins of Delight. Louie did not Anil or. Brown at his Ollice. Tho boy in attendance stilted or. Brown had received a Telegram and instantly gone out. Louie left the Box with instructions that it should be Givon to him As soon As he returned. The Telegram or. Brown had a Call to the bedside of his father who was dangerously ill he made arrangements to leave town that evening and hastened to Tell Cora that he would be unable to attend Tho party the next evening. Servant informed him was not at Homo so he left word with Hor to Tell miss Cora As soon As she should return of his inability to escort her to the party the following evening. Now Bridget was a blundering girl and no sooner had she closed the door on or Brown s receding footsteps than at that instant a smell of burning cake greeted her nostrils she rushed to the Kitchen to find her Jelly cake pretty Well scorched and this disaster caused or. Brown s message to vanish from her mind. When or. Brown returned to his Muff Box was straight Way handed to him. On opening the Box and examining the con tents he was somewhat puzzled to know what it meant but when he read upon the slip of paper l or. Brown make you old he completely nonplussed. Who brought this Box to demanded of the boy. Louie Irving sir he said it was sent by his or Brown scrutinized the Box again on he inside of the lid he saw written in a Fine Iiams Cora i. Should think it was a he said to himself but this note is certainly addres sed to and he read again or Brown Ake this you old then he remembered of a Philopena that Cora owed him perhaps she had sent this for a joke but he of Lxi not see anything remarkable funny in it perhaps she was tired of his attentions and by sending him this Mutt and note he was to understand she considered him an old and wished the acquaintance to cease. But it did not seem like Cora would do anything so rude but we arc often deceived in to argued to himself. Lie put the Muff Back in the Box thrust thu note into his pocket there was no More use to Puzzle about it. Or Brown was a sensitive Man and rather jealous in his disposition consequently it was his Way to jump at conclusions without waiting to in quire into any matter. When Cora came Home that afternoon she found Maggie had already returned from her drive. Did you despatch everything All right. Maggie was her first inquiry. 1 they Are safely at their destination i replied Maggie. Louie promised they should be attended to at once Maggie alas had forgotten All about Tho Muff.

When she had dressed herself sin said let me see what was it Cora said about the be sure and put finale Maggie paused to think with Liei pen suspended Over the envelope. The truth is Maggie was thinking so much of the Sleigh ride in Prospect that she had for gotten or rather had not paid any attention to what Cora had told her after hesitating a few moments she wrote upon the envelope and upon Tho package or j. C. Browne then talking a Sheet 01 paper she began a note to the furrier when unfortunately at that moment in rushed Louie shouting Here s brother Fixl with the Sleigh.
