SELECT STORY.
ANNA'S FIRST BEAU.
A BTOIlY TOLD
HY 111)11 SI'.COSIl
I IK a nr.
My Aunt Lniio was n f;ooil woman,
I believe, road her IJiblo constantly,
tlid a great tle.il of plain sowing and
made soup for tliu poor of tlio odd
liones lying about tho larder, but sho
w as a match maker, ami loved money
beside?. I was a desirable, person in
her eyes, on account of my fortune,
and sho resolved to scetiro mo for one
of tho girls. Well, I was innocent and
unsuspecting ami 1 catno lrom tno
country. I fell into tho trap set for
my unwary feet, ami I was as much
pleased at my capturo as if it wero tho
most delichtful and gratifying thing in
the wnild to bo madly in lovo with a
woman who did not caro two straws
whether I lived or died. Indeed, but
for my being little enough in her way,
I believe Anna would, on tho whole,
liavo proforrcd the latter altt rnative:
In siiito of tho dis'jouratjetnent I re
ceived, when my visit at Mrs. Lane's
terminated 1 hired a houso within a
fotv doors of hers, and thero I took up
my abode. Would time and patience
melt Annas obduracy ;
I know that Aunt w.n a stsuneh ally
oi mine, for she hud ouco told me con.
fidentially that if I took a fancy to one
of the dear girls, and thu fancy was
mutual, I should havo her Messing.
I eihaps sho had told them thu same
but if so it was quite clear tli.il tney
did not value her blessiut; so much as
I did.
1 had uecu about six months 111 my
now domicile, and was getting more
accustomed to town wits, when ono
morning I icceived a little noto from
Anna. Her mother was out, aud shu
wanted to sec me particularly. Both
facts were encouraging, it must be
owned, for when a lady tells you that
her mother is out she guueially means
something by it; and, as may be sup
posed, I obeyed my cousin's invitation
with alacrity.
"She begins to like mo a little, after
all, thought l, and 1 entered her pros
enco with a smilo on mv lips.
"Oh, Jerry.'' sho cried, "I
you to do mc a great favor."
wanted
Sho had often mado use of mo be
fore, but only in tho ay of buttons
and silks, when sho was not in the hit
mor to go out, or it rained very hard
I expected some such errand on the
present occasion, but what was my sur
prise and dismay when she handed mo
a littlo note on pink paper, delicately
sealed, and so fragrant withal that I
seem to sinoll it even now.
"Jei'ry," said she, trembling a little
and growing very red. "1 want you
lo be the best fellow in tho woild aud
take this letter somewhere for me."
"Is it too precious to bo trusted to tho
post V 1 inijiiiml, rather gruffly.
"A messenger is safet, she replied.
'You don't know all thu circumstances,
Jeiry,"
"No," thought I, "and 1 am very
much mistaken if your mother does
either."
"If you are going to bu disagreea
hie," added my cousin, presently, find.
ing my face and maimer unpropitiotis,

But that was finite a joke, said
Anna. "I wouldn't trust him with one

Ami 11 ho nsks me questions!
said 1.
"Thero is no fear; ho has loo much
sense, shu icplied, thereby inferring
that ho possessed a decided advantage
over mo 111 this respect.
I was not 111 a happy tramo 01 mind
I acknowledge, and when I cot to St.
Mitry's Church and found myself an
object of especial attention lo a young
man who was strolling idly up and
down tho pavement in front of tho old
building 1 felt inclided to resent his
scrutiny as an insult, nl'.hotigh I knew
by tho roso in his buttouholo that he
was thu very poison I sought and who
sought mc. I was In the humor to bo
critical, and I hail a certain savage
pleasuro in keeping him iu suspense
while I mado my observations with
leisurely acumen.
"Auburn r thought I, as I looked at
his hair and tho ungainly moustache
that disfigured his upper lint "thero
never was a moro dcoipetl red iu thi
world, and, as tor height, 1 don l see
so much in it after all."
"A fluo morning, sir," said tho stran
ger, touching his hat 11s ho passed.
"Very," was my laconic reply, and I
allowed him to oontiuuo his walk
again disappointed.
Presently ho relumed to Iho chargo
111 una way;
"I had Iho ploasui'o of remarking
A Ml AA' I

just now, sir, that it was a very fino
morning."
"Pardon me," Haiti, I "you simply
paid it was a Tiro morning, and 1 had
tho honor and Batisfactioii of agreeing
with you."
"Uon t you know what 1 mean 7 ' ho
exclaimed, impatiently.
"Certainly, sir," was my polito ro
Hponse, "if you moon What you say."
"Uomp, old lellotv, Bnitl lie, bursting
out laughing nnd with a familiarity
that was peculiarly odious to mo under
tliu circumstances, "you know you hdvo
got something for mc, so hand it over."
"1 liavo a letter in my pocket, said
1, with dignity, "which I promised to
deliver to a tall young man of military
appearance, with auburn nair anil
moustache. If I wait hero all day 1
won't givo up my chargo to nny ono
who dares not answer that description
to tho letter."
"And don't 1 V said he.
I took out my cvculass, and nfler
having examined him coolly for several
seconds, I replied, "No sir, you do not,"
and turned away, llo camo after me,
of course.
"Kcally, sir," said he, "I consider
your conduct exceedingly offensive and
annoying. I was told that if I camo
to bt. iNlarys (Jlmrcli I should meet a
gentleman of diiuiutttivo appearance,
who would givo mo the bill of the
goods n certain lady oidercd nt our
shop tho other day, unknown to her
mamma.
"Oh, it's a bill, is it 1" I interrupted,
cagorly. "Then tako it, by all means,
and if there is any difficulty about thu
matter in any way apply to m and I
will forward you a check for tho
amount.
Uo grasped the scented nolo in one
hand, whilu with tho other ho raised
his hat high abovo his head with ironi
oal courtesy.
"Tell Anna, with my lovo, Baid he,
"that I was delighted to get another
letter from her so soon, and that she
shall hear from mo by this evening's.
As for you, sir, if there is any dillictil
ty iu arranging our business I'll let you
know; and if you aro still generously
inclined, all I u in say is a check will
not bo acceptable. I wish you a good
morning." I wished him something less polite,
but moro sincere. Then wo separated,
I, for my part, devoutly pra ing that
we never might set eves on each other
again. It is more than probable that
ho liberally indorsed my sentiment.

I had had in my mission. 1 was not

"You might as well havo described
him proptrly," said I. "When you
told 111) his hair was auburn I couldn't
bo expected to know that you meant
it was red. Besides, he isn't tall; he
is scarcely abovo tho medium height.
Of course, I did not recognize him
from your description, and never at
tempted to give him tho letter."
"Then he hain't got it?" said Anna.
"Oh, yes, ho has, said I; for ho in
quired for it at last. And although I
asked him no questions and oavo him
merely short answers to lhoo ho asked
me, ho volunteered a statement con
corning you which 1 considur very
damaging."
"Impossible 1" she exclaimed, in in
ilignant disbelief, ami turning away
from me haughtily. But in a minute
her curiosity had mastered hor dignity
and sho begged to know what accusa
tiou ho had made against her.
"Well, Anna," I then replied, "he
distinctly aserted that you hid run up
a bill at somu tradesman s unknown to
your mother, and I induced him to
pioinise that if ho had any difficulty in
arranging the business hu would apply
to 1110 lor a cinpck.
"Oh, Jeri y, ho never could havo said

Following this principle with all the
zeal of a new convert I lefiained from

A luitnight passed without any in
cident worthy 01 record. Alum was
regaining her spirits, as I know to my
cost. Sho had uttotly resigned all
worldly amusement, and yet iu the
last week she had been to two balls
ono breakfast party aud n horticultu
ral fete, and Miro slyly insinuated that
sho would havo liked a double allow
ance of each. Of courso Anna protested
that she had only been there to please
her mother, tor that all her enjoyment
of such things was gone, but wo know
that it iloes not do to bclievo quite all
young ladies say; not that they mean
to bo guilty of deception, but they aro
naturally so ingenious that tho simple,
unvarnished truth is too plain for

"No; 1 don't feel as if I could leavo

"I must do something "
'Nonsense I said her husband.
"What can you do 1" It is very unfor
tunate, of course, but it isn't our fault."
"But, Matthew, you might try to
tavc him," sho said.
"les, and be burnt to death for n
man who doesn't even belong to me
that's very likely," was his rough re
joinder, as ho stepped determinedly
through llie doorway into tho street.
"Who is Mr. JcfTeisoii 1" I inquired,
after listening to this brief dialogtio
with all my sympathies on the wom
an's side.
"IIo is our lodger, sir," sho replied;
"and it seems too shocking his being
left to die like that."
"So it docs," said I; "but tho stairs
are impassblo by this time."
"Tho front ones are," she replied,
"but there's a way to his room tho oth
er side which doesn't seem to have

"I'll try, at any rate," said 1 resolute
ly, aud after a few brief directions
from her I went back to tho house and
groped my way along the passago sho
lad indicated until 1 reached a datk,
nut row Btniicasn, wheto the atmosphere
was certainly dealer. I hailed here a
second to gain breath, then I a-Oi'nded
the steps threo at a lime and got to tho
top of tho landing. A sudden turn to
tho right, another long passage, which
steinrd to lead mo towards tho flames,

lcaped over the burning barricade in
my path, forcod tho door opposite and
found myself in Mr. Jettersous bed
room.
I don't know why I should have been
surprised to recognize him. Under
these circumstances 1 was thoroughly
surpiised when I found myself facu to
lace with Anna s unfortunate hero;
but even sho would havo been forceil
to deny him any heroic attributes had
sho sceti him at that moment. So ab
ject and intenso wns his terror that ho
was actually cowering 111 a corner with
his face hidden in his hands. When I
touched bin ho shuddered and writhed
and gave 1110 a hopeless, helpless look,
but did not attempt to rise.
"Uome, sir, said 1 sternly, 'do you
know that you aro endangering both
our lives by your hesitation?" IIo
staled at me vacantly then he began to
sob. "Very well,' 1 continued, "j. am
not bound to throw mv life away for
nothing."
I turned to look at his face, and
found, with inexpressible horror, that
hu had fainted. Thu lauding fell in
with .1 crash, anil the fno burst in at
our door. I rushed to tho window;
openetl it wide, and shouted madly lo
tho ciowd below :
ladder, in heaven's name' if you
would savo two human creatures from
a miserable death 1"
They heard me, for they swayed
forwards with a hoarse murmur, and
one voice rose clear amidst the din :
"Hold on, havo courage, and wo will
savo you both !"
Oh, those seconds of wretched
pcuso which seemed liku hours !
At this moment theto was a long,
0Hj murmur below, then a deep lull
tiu lull ot expectancy. 1 was seoich-
ed, aud half suffucalcd, but I managed
to lean out again, and uttered a civ
of thankfulness when I s iw a ladder
trembling against thu wall as it balui.o
ed itself. Still my difficulties wire
not over. To descend alone would
have been nothiug, but what was I to
do with the unconscious man, who,
by thu mere fact of his unconscious
ness, appealed so strongly to my feel-
ings that 1 had no hoart to sectiro my
own safety whilst ho was Dcrishing ?
I dared not oven glance below at tho
heaving mass of human heads, lit up
strangely by tho lurid light of tlio
burning house. Carefully testing the
strength of each step ore I trusted it
with the whole burden it would have
to bear, I very slowly descended, and
at last, with a thrill of unexpicssible
roliet, my leet touched solid ground

"Because it is not such an iniUm-

"I thought it was auburn, Anna,"
said 1, mischievously.
