The cars were going at the rate of forty miles an hour, but Dares; laugh rang out above all their nobie and confusion. 'What is it, Dora, you witch, you r I said, half-piqtred that she had 'n , •t. first told me what pleased her, and laughed afterwards." • "Nothing, Nell; only I was thinking of something so funny. Do you see that gentleman just in front-of us, with the beautiful • black whiskers aod dreamy brown eyes'? he's beieti watching you behind that book the lass half-hour, looking as if he should_ love to take a bite from the red roses on jour cheeks. Don't blush ' • for he's in love with you—l'll bet. my gold thimble on it. I was just think ing of some of _tho stories I have read, about young ladies mistaking handsome fellows for their brothers, eto.,and thought what fun it would be, if you could only manage to mistake that gentleman for your brother. Fred." I was ready for some fun in a 'moment. 6 00 20 00 • 10 00 , 700 "Tell you what I'll do, Dora," I broke out, eagerly. "You know I haven't seen Fred, since went to school three years ago ;land, of course, he's changed a great deal since then. Well . , if that literary gentleman with the brown eyes (he is handsome, isn't ho, Dora ?) should get off the cars at our depot, I'll wait till he gets mixed up with the crowd ; see him sud denly, as if for the first time, rush up to him in a flutter of delight, call him brother. Fred; awl give him such another kissing as he hasn't had since he saw his s'yeetheatt last." "Yes, I- would, if I were you," said Dora, sarcastically.. "You dareut, you know " "Don't I dare to, though 7 Wait and see . Arid so I dropped back into the oush ton and_silenoe, till the train stopped at our station. Dora gave me a wicked look, and whis pered that she knew my couragewould fail me fur the gentleman was really getting off. • I was not to be triumphed over, thnuirli; and so, as we stepped out on the platform I saw the crowd, and with a little bound, threw tnyself into his ants and kissed him full in the mouth, hysterically say ing : "Fred, my dear, dear brother ! how ale you ?" I caught a glimpse of Dora'— she was in danger of going inro convulsions. I expected to_Thear the stranger confusedly say that there was Borne mistake; but, to my surprise, he gave we a hearty em brace—kissed we two or three times— said he was well—that I had grown a deal; and then inquired for my little friend, Dora—who, all this time, was exciting the sympathies of the crowd, as they sup. posed she was insane, judging from her frantic laughter. "Father and mother are expecting you, Nellie, and are so impatient they can scarcely wait to see you I was afraici you wouldn't know me; but I am really glad that my image has been treasured up so carefully in my little sister's heart." I was bewildered beyond measure. It really was Fred, then ; and I had not known him. I felt slightly ridiculous, and while introducing D ra to my broth er, whispered to her to keep quiet, in ref erence to my intended trick. I was .too much confused to think of inquiring how he came to be in the ears without seeing we; so we all went to the carriage that was waiting for , us, and, rapidly drove home. MEMO I had never known Fred to be so affec tionate He held coy hand in his own all the time, and kissed me at unnecessa rily short intervals; but, to tell the truth, I.had never loved him half so well before —never thought Lim• half so. handsome. We reached the gate Mother kissed me and "cried over me all at once ; father repeated it; and finally, a frank, hearty voice broke out with . "Hallo,"sis ! are'ot you going to notice your scapegrace of a brother at all ?" And to my astonishment, a handsome fellow I had not seen before gave me a genuine hug, and a kiss you could have heard across the yard. "There is some mistake," I murmured. "Are you my brother Fred ? I thought that gentleman was," pointing to the handsome' fellow I had , embraced at the depot. "Why, sis, are you going crazy? Of course Pro.your brother, and that fellow there is my 'college child]; Archie Win. tore, who went half way up the line to meet you. What are you blushing at, Nell ? There waent anything wrong in his going after you,.was There ? I didn't have time to go, and let him take your picture with him, so that he would be sure to know you. He's been playing off some of his mad pranks, and passing him self off for me, I'll warrant." .
