curly-haired darlintr, say (i yeitM old, on

Tlio bov was Ivint a tin can to the tail
of a slru'!'liiii' Maltese cat. that had
clambered over lho dividing feneu1, and
the prl with Hushed face and snapping,
aiis'ry eyes, was looltiii'' throili'li llii-

As soon as our little lady had fairly
taken in the situation sho called thronih
tho feneo with her pouting lips to tho
Iiolo : "I say you boy, havo you seen my
kitty?"
"ISo, ho replied.
''Voit aro a nasly, bad boy, and tell

This was not an idlo threat, for our
youngster on tlio J iltli avenue side had
play-house, supplied with toys and
curios and playthings provided by his
rich father and indulgent mother as an
inducement for their only and petted
child not to mingle with thu vulgar play
mates of tho street.
"I say, who aro you?" asked tho boy.
"Never mind tjive 1110 my kilty."
"I will if you will kiss mo."
"Kiss you throuirh tho fence?" andshc
laughed a silvery rippling laugh.
'Ves.througirthe knot-hole."
"Well, give me my kitty lirst.
"No, give 1110 the kiss first."
"AVill you givo 1110 my kitty then?"
"Ves, truly."
"Well, put your mouth to the hole."
And to thoholo he placed his face and
received tho smack of a sounding kiss.
"There, now givo 1110 my kitty."
Ho did so. Tho bttlo thiiig,serambling
over tho fence, was soon safe in the arms
of its little mistress. Sho kissed it again
and again, while tho boy looked 011. "
'I say, it's nasty to kiss a cat."
"A cat is not so nasty as a great,nasty
boy."
"Ves, it is or I played a joko 011 you,
for you kissed mo on my nose."
"Only I didn't for I didn't kiss you at

on your nose, and then smacked my lips

a loud and merry laugh.
Tho boy turned away with an angry

Nor did lho now widowed mother of the
fair Lillian know even the names of lho
family of Von Dameiibergs whose only
son Nicholas had had his nose spit upon
through the knot hole of the division
fence. Vcars went llying by. To young
people yews lly.but arc long, to old peo
ple years drag, but. are short. These
young folks were killing time. Lillian
was drifting about tho'woild with her
gentle, epiiel mother, who found' it an
easier life to be dragged about by her
impel ions daughter than to remain at
homo with her. Niek was abroad 011
his own hook; sometimes yaehtinganiong
among tho liords of Norway, and some
times shooting 011 the plains of upper
Montana. At last both parties met at tho Cali

Clear Lake." Thoy had arrived, guns

garet Mercer and hei daughter, Miss Lil

Tho Geyscis aro famous for aids to
complexion. If tho Mercers had visited
for any such purpose as improving theirs
it must have been for tho brown nnd
quiet mother and not for tho blooming
iiiuid. As for Nick and his comrades,
they wero black and tanned and burned

of any of nature's cosmetics.

Again sho blushed, and said that sho

girl and her mother and somehow to get
even with her for spitting on his nose,

was easily arrantred with Dromielor Fos

himself useful in numberless wavs es-

to fish; carrying her easel and camp slool
over tho hills to romantic glens; holding
tho sun shade whilo sho sketched; some
times with the mother, 011 lonely hill
sides, and sometimes alone with the
laughter, in sight of tho house or
camp.
lienever he and Lillian were alone
togethef ho addressed his fair compan
ion with tho studied courtesy of tho well
bred gentleman. His languago was
thou of the choicest, his remark finish

his practised touch a suggestion of per-

presence of the mother, or of any third
person, ho dropped strangely into bad
grammar, spoko iu German patois, look
ed lho clown, and acted the man of-all-
work that he affected to be. When alone
sho called him lamiliaiiy "Nicholas"
mil, on one or two occasions, "Niek."
In the presence of strangers "Nicholas"
became ".Air. von Bam." To Lillian ho
explained that ho had been servant
to a gentleman in tho University of Ilei
dleberg, and there, iu association with
student life, ho had had tho opportunity
of instructions iu art, and especially in
music. That at the beer halls ho was
permitted, with pipes and lugcr, to in

"Accident I suppose," she answered.
"I sometimes wonder, Miss Mercer, if

'!l did not say so. I do not think so.
I regard marriage as man's most serious
act. When wo marry our destiny is east,
out fato is fixed for ever for 'life for
eternity."
Lillian turned her great, luminous eyes
upon the now creel form and said,with a
laugh a hollow, mocking, taunting
laugh: "Vou dream of some frauleiii, at
work iu a vineyard on tho liliine."
"I dream, Miss Mercer,of a proud and
beautiful girl I love, gifted, well-born
and in-oiid, rich and arrogant because
she is well-born. She was my neighbor
when wo were children and if "wo are not
friends, companions and child lovers, it
was because wc were separated by a cru
el b arrior. Sho would lovo 1110 if sho
dared. Sho knows I am her equal in
everything but liamo: She knows, that
in my love for her, I would fling myself
into tho sea from apex of yonder rock.
She knows that I am poor.but sho is not
mercenary f.ud would not caro for that.
It is this "devilish pride of family; and
yet her family was,soino generations ago
110 better than mine. A great business
glacier might havo wounded my ances
tors, and tlio family bears the scars and
scams; while she, like tho Moro, escaped
and now stands up so proudly; and so
she would scorn me. Ves, ah yes I be
lieve in accidents."
"And have you told her you lovo her?"
"I never dared.
"Then you aro a coward, and perhaps
well-as this does not concern me, I think
wo had better call mamma and return.
Will you bo kind enough to attach the
horses, Mr. von Dam."
"Vou will excuse me, Miss Mercer; I
was presumptuos to tell you my story. I
will drive the carriage hero and take in
yourself and easel -as soon as I have my
team ready."
AVhilo ho was gone our Lillian solilo
quized,all alono with tho sea and its sob
bing waves, as they broko against tho
rock of tlio Moro, and then came rip
pling to her feet: "Oh! what a foollam!
what an arrant, blundering fool ami!

Now this girl know that owav down
in her heart she loved this man servant
of her mother's. Sho knew that in every
intellectual finality ho was her superior.
Ho was to her 111010 handionie than any
other man. The acquaintance of camp,
travel and daily intercourse, like theirs
had been, discloses more of real charac
ter than years of conventional lite. Sho
knew that he was tho eimul of any man.
And yet, when sho thought beloved her
and was planing how to capture her, she
had determined to morlily mid humiliate
him, reject hini.tcaeh him a lesson, How
dare he? Now it turns out that ho loved

determined that sho was nngrv because
ho had told her. What was it to her

Kissed ner mother and withdrew to her
room for tears all by herself.
Tlio nicest possible thing iu tlio world
for a girl in lovo is to have a nice cry.
Lillian experienced tho benefit, nnd nfter
an hour or two, camo out of lier room
looking like a rose.
As sho joined her mother that patient
lady said: "I havo tried to send him
away, Lillian dear, but ho is entitled to
a month's wages or notice, so I told him
ho might remain till wc went lo San
Francisco, and then I would pay him
off. I don't seo how wo can get along
without him, darling."
"Nor i;" said Lillian. "Well, dear
mother, we shall leave in a day or two,
and 1 will suppress myself and endure
him for that tunc."
Just how it was brought about is not.
necessary lo this narrative, but the same
evening Nick was driving Miss Lilian
through tho olivo grovoiu an open phic
ton. Nick had reached lho darkest snot
of tho grove when ho sprang from lho
carriage, tied lho horse, and turned
fiercely upon lho now pale and trembling
Lillian.
''And so, Miss Mercer, vou endeav

Havo I not been a good servant J "Havo

nd why did vou tell 1110 of vour

What right had vou to mako 1110 the con

"because Hove youl And vou charged

Slowly Nick withdrew. Slowly ho
untied his horse. Humbly and silently
ho look nt) his reins and resumed his seat.
Silently thoy turned homeward. The
horses went at a walk. In tho narrowest
part of tho lane, 111 the darkest pait of
tho grove just as a cloud camo over
the moor tlio Bwect and gracious Lillian
reached hernrm around the nec of Nie'k

"And aro you sure Lillian, that vou

Tlio bill to punish wife healers, by ad
ministering to them a doso of their sover
eign remedy for domestic troubles; has
been reported favorably by tho House,

become a law every well regulated town
will havo to erect a whipping post and
every constable and policemen will havo
to go into practice to become 011 adept

ment in civilization will probably be tho
introduction of tho stocks, the (lucking
