OUR SHORT STORY.
OUR SHORT STORY. THE POWER OF THE UNSEEN. CHAPTER I. "WANTED, an elderly lady to act as com- panion to a young lady of means residing in London. Liberal salary to a suitable person. For particulars apply to Messrs. Simcox and Co., Solicitors, Gray's Inn, between the hours of 9 and 11 a.m., on Wednesday, March 11." I have the slip of newspaper by me now which I cut out with the above advertisement on it nearly five years ago. Long years of grinding toil, such as all who are doomed to earn their bread by teaching have to endure, had prematurely whitened my hair and bent my figure, so that my best friend, if I had happened to possess one at all, which was not the case, could not have denied that I answered to the first qualification in the advertisement. As to the rest, some wild hope that at last I might, by a kind turn of Fortune's wheel, be permitted to spend a few years in comparative ease, emboldened me to apply for the situation. Twopence expended on an omnibus brought me to within a few yards of my destination. As I trudged up to the door of the office I gazed apprehensively round, on the look out for the hosts of appli- cants who, it seemed to me, would of necessity be attracted by so alluring an advertisement. No one, however, appeared bound on the same errand as myself, eo I summoned up my re- maining courage, and mounted the two flights of stairs which led to the offices of Messrs. Simcox and Co. An impish-looking boy took my name and errand in to the head of the firm. while I waited in an outer room, hoping and fearing alternately, as the chances for and against my obtaining the appointment rose to mind. The messenger came back in a few minutes, saying that, as it was past eleven o'clock, Mr. Simcox would see no more appli- cants, because he had several important Office appointments to keep. I rose to go; not much consoled by the remark which I overheard made by one clerk to another, with a nudge in my direction: "They've been here in shoals all the morning." As I descended the stairs an elderly gen- tleman overtook me, and in passing brushed my umbrella out of my hand; he immediately turned to apologise, and I found a pair of keen grey eyes fixed on my dejected face. I I suppose some feelfrng of compassion made him say, "You are the lady who has just left my office; you came to apply for the situation of companion which I advertised?" I murmured an assent. "My good creature, you should have come earlier. You saw the time named. I really have something more important to do than to turn my rooms into a registry office," he muttered testily. "And I was obliged to limit the time. However, as you are here, and seem to be anxious about! the place, I may as well hear what you have to say"; and, turning back, he motioned me to follow him «ihr> his room. On naming my referees, among whom was a clergyman who lived in Bedfordshire, Mr. Simcox asked me whether I knew that county, as it appeared that Miss Dalrymple, the lady on whose account he had advertised, had friends near Singlecombe, about ten miles out of Bedford. I replied in the affirmative, and after a few more questions I was dismissed with a promise of an answer tn a day or two. Thursday, Friday, and Saturday passed. My hopes began rapidly to sink to zero. Sun- day came and went, with its maddening chimes of bells, which to me, alone and friendless in my dingy lodging, seemed to mock and gibe at my misery and poverty. None but the solitary and unhappy know how keenly the outer sounds of life jar on the burdened soul, shut up between the four walls of solitude, misery, departed hopes, and unrealised pleasures. On Monday morning I determined to lose no time in applying once more for one of those situations in which it seemed my life was to be passed, namely, as a mother's help, or nursery governess. Short of starvation nothing else lay before me, as it seemed that my interview with Mr. Simcox had been a fruitless one. Probably in the hosts of applicants my poor claims to atten- tion had been overlooked or forgotten. As I passed along the narrow passage to the front door, the grimy maid-of-all work, who was doing something to the steps, which, no doubt, from her point of view, was meant to be cleaning, pulled out of an inexpressibly dirty pocket a. letter, which, as she held it up to my view, I saw was addressed to myself. "This came just now, but I hadn't no time to bring it up to you; what with the First, Floor Front alius a-ringin' of his bell, and swearing that awful, and the Second Floor a-wanting of his breakfast afore missus is out of bed, and missus that crochetty there's no pleasing her, I ha'n't no time to wait on the Hattics!" "Miss Dalrymple will thank Mise Fisher to call on her at three o'clock on Monday afternoon." My star was in the ascendant after all, for Miss Dalrymple would never have desired to see me unless she had had at all events a favourable impression given of me by Mr. Simcox, on whose head I invoked blessings as I wended my way to Porchester-terrace. A sedate-looking man-servant opened the door in answer to my modest ring, and after a comprehensive glance, which showed me I was expected, ushered me into what he termed Miss Dalrymple's "boodwor," where I was left to my own reflections for a short time. Never before had the luxurious side of life presented itself to me in such near contact. The children whose brains and clothing it had been my portion to minister to in the past had hailed from the struggling middle classes, whose life is one incessant battle to keep the wolf from the door and to present an air of genteel elegance to the next neigh- bour; as though he did not practise the identical little shams and pretences with which they clothe the hardness of the reality of their lives. But there was no sham here in the velvet pile carpet, and well-sprung chairs, each one of which looked like a harbour of refuge to my weary limbs, for the walk had been long and trying. The prevailing colour of the room was a soft brown shaded off to pink, so cunningly that it was difficult to find where one colour ended and the other began. I looked round for some signs of the tastes of its mistress. The room was filled with flowers, and valuable pictures hung on the walls. What struck me as singular in this luxurious room was a pile of business-looking documents, pamphlets, and statistics on a writing table in a corner. One book which lay I open I looked at, and found it to be an account of the chief means of living among the poor of the East-end of London, such as boot-making, wood-chopping, etc., with the rate of wages at which these trades were paid much under-scored. At this moment the door opened, and my future employer came into the room. She was a. fine, well-grown girl of about four-and-twenty; at first glance deter- mined-looking, as though her own way would be sweetest to her of all in the world; and yet there was a dreamy, half-veiled expression in the eyes, when studied apart from the rest of the features, the secret of which it WM some time before I was enabled to solve. "Mr. Simcox tena me that you gave him the name of the Rev. James Hodgson as one of of your referees," she said, having motioned me to a chair. "He is a friend of mine, ani I am inclined on that account to prefer your application before others, if we arrange all the details satisfactorily. I live alone, as you know: and I am anxious to engage the services of a^lady, who will, in addition to being a companion to me when I am by rr.j'telf, take all the domestic arrangements) off my shoulders." I assured her that so far as it lay in ay power I should endeavour to fulfil her wishes in all things, should she make up her mind to engage me. After a little further con- sation she rose, saying that if I would call on Mr. Simcox in a couple of days I should leant her final decision, and he would arrange my salary and anything else that might be necessary. "He is my trustee," she explained, "and has the management of all my affairs." I found the old lawyer apparently inclined to be talkative when, two days later, I called to hear whether my hopes were to be realised. Having informed me that Miss Dalrymple had made up her mind to engage me, and having named a sum which, from past experience, seemed out of all proportion to the comparat- tively easy duties I had to perform, he said, "You are one of the least inquisitive women I have ever met. Do you not wish to know something of your future employer-how she. a young, rich, good-looking woman, comes to be living alone, and in need of a stranger to be the companion of her leisure time?" It seemed to be that Mr. Simcox had some object in view in thus deliberately opening a conversation with me, when a few words of dismissal were all that were required now that the details of my engagement had been settled, so I replied that if he could tell me anything of Miss Dalrymple's history it would, as her future companion, certainly interest me, but that I had spent so many years of my life with strangers that my curiosity had 'become almost a dead letter as regarded the history of the people among whom I earned my living. "You are jnst the person for my ward, then, for nothing irritates her so much as to feel her movements watched or criticised by those about her. She is much to be pitied, poor girl," he continued. "Her parenbe died when she was quite young, in Australia, where her father had amassed a large fortune, and to my astonishment, for I knew nothing further of him than that he had entrusted me from time to time with the investment of his money, I found myself appointed guardian of their only surviving child, and sole trustee of her fortune. My disgust at having such a. responsibility thrust upon me was great, but as the letter which informed me of this fact also announced that the child, in charge of her nurse, was on her way home, both her parents having died suddenly within a. week of each other, I had nothing to do but to make the best of it. A friend who had married when he ought to have been at school, and was consequently in the chronic state of poverty which a large family and no settled income entails, was only too glad to be able to assure himself of the annual sum I offered him if he would take the charge of the child off my hands. I knew them to be kind- he#wt>ed"]»e0pie, and was certain that his w..e would do all she possibly could for the little girl. who was at first weak and sickly. This arrangement answered very well until the last three years, but unfortunately Miss Dal. rymple, now that she is of age and has oomp into her income, which is considerable, shows a determination to go her own way to an extent which has made the Maleys feel very uncomfortable, both on their own account and hers. She made long absences from home, and when queetioned as to where she had been seemed to be much offended with what I really consider a. most justifiable inter- ference with her movements on my friend's part. Things went on in this manner until at last Mrs. Maley came and told me that they would prefer that Miss Dalrymple should not any longer remain with them, as her movements were so uncertain and eccentrio that they were never sure when she was ia the house or out of it, and as she refused absolutely to take a. maid with her on her expeditions they could no longer undertake the responsibility of such unusual conduct. The result of this was that my ward in. structed me to take a house for her, as she intended for the future being her own mis- tress. I verily believed she would have lived alone had I not insisted on her availing herself of the services of someone as com- panion and chaperone. And now, madam, you will understand a little the character a.nd disposition of the lady with whom yon are going to live. As long as she is not op- posed you will find her goodrtempered and considerate. I advise you to be blind, as far as possible, to any little eccentricity yon may notice, but should you feel in difficulty about the best course to pursue in any unforeseen circumstances always come or send to me. My ward is unfortunately situated in having so few friends, but she shows little or no taste for society. Her one interest at present seems to be the condition of the poor at the East-end of London; and as she is not a girl of very deep religious feeling I cannot under. stand how her mind is so much roused on this subject. However, if she is willing to do something towards the relief of the distress we so constantly see reported, it will be a very laudable end to which to put her money." "There is one question I should like to ask." I remarked. "Is there anything in her past life which would account for the peculiar expression of her eyes? You must have noticed it, I should think-a sort of dreamy. half-veiled look?" Mr. Simcox fidgetted a. little on his chair. "True, madam, it has occasionally made me feel uneasy. But a medical friend of mine, to whom I mentioned it, thinks it probably arises from the want of some work to arouse her and occupy her thoughts. No doubt it will pass away when she has made work and interests for herself. You will find her to be of a very active and energetic turn of mind." "I only once before ever saw anything resembling it," I observed, "and that was ia the eyes of a spiritualistic medium." "Tut, tut," he responded, "I hope you don't believe in such rnbbish. That would never do." I was silenced. I knew nothing aboat the spiritual phenomena which one reads about in the papers, and it is not my habit to express an opinion on any subject which Is beyond my power of comprehension. For the same reason, in the following account of this* my last situation I express no opinion, but confine myself to facts alone, leaving it to my readers to put what construction they, Iea" on the, to me. unseen forces which worked ia this girl's life; some incidents of which a chance advertisement has made me the witness.

Putting his head into the window he called out, "HalloaI Good peoP-" That was all he said. A. whole pail of water struck him in the face, and as ho staggered back a woman shrieked out, "Didn't I tell you what you'd get if raa wasn't home fax ten e etceM"
