The words had fccarcoly left lier lips,
when sho started to her foot In alarm.
A com noso hail bcMi thrust Into hcr
face, nnd she confronted a big dog.
Miliceiit fttond for n mnnii'iit In tni-rnr..
uu uer upprcuousions were iinraijr ios-i
lliltccnt itoodfor a moment in terror.
scned whon sho saw tho owner of tho doa
otnergo from tho brush with a gun over
his shoulder. j .
IIo advanced toward Mllicent. whi
took a backward stop with half a mind
to run nwny.
Tho same Instant alio glanced aroundl
and was conscious that her hat was Rona
"Oh 1" shooxclnlmcd, starting forward
again, for sho saw It bobbing up and ,
down on tho surfacoof tho water. f.
ino owner oi mo uog saw it, too.'" i
"After it. Cznrl" ho cried. "Quick!
sir! Torshnmol Don't you know hot
ter than to startlo a lndy so?" J
" I am sorry tho dog frightened you.t'
ho said, lifting his hat. "Thoy don t un
derstand the courtesies."
Mllicent mado some faint renlv as shh
wntchod, tho setter swim out Into tho
inldcllo of tlio stream after her hat. I
'I hono Its not Inlurod." said thb
stranger, as ho restored It to her. I
" I think not, Mllicent answered. j
" I am ufrlnd It will bo moro thorough
ly dronchod tliau It Is beforo you got
homo," ho said. " It Is going to rain."
Sho now sawthoro was a thunderstorm
coming.
"I had not noticod It," she said m
dismay.
" iinvo you far to go?
" Yes lndcod. I don't know. I havo
sonio friends somowhero In tho woods'
" 1 hat Is rather an Indefinite location "
said tlio strangor, smiling. I
' I loft them at tho waterfall," Mil -cent
explained, beginning to teel that thu
man was not positively dangorous.
Dig drops splashed on their faces.
" I wouldn't advlso you to go backf
there, wo aro going to have a hoavy
Btorm, anil you had better go at onCo
to thoitearost farmiiouso. Allow mo.'"
Ho drew forth his gossamer coat from
his game-bag, anil throw It around her.
" I don't know tho nay," sho stam
mered, making a f utile effort to declino
his protection.
" It you will eomo with me " ho
began, and then Julo camo dashing
through tho brush crj lug :
"Miss Mllicent I MUs Mllicent I, I't-a
been Inmthigforyou every whoro. Comb I
It's going to rain, and thoy have all gone
off to tlio f armchouso."
Then ho stoppod lu astonishment ht
tho sight of tho btrangcr and his dog. t
" I huvo Just boon advising, tho
young lady to go thore," tho gentleman
said. '
" I guess wo had bettor go," Mlllceht
observed, making a motion to lay aslilo
tho gossamer.
" Keep It on," said the gontleman.
" You will need It, and I am going to
walk over lo tho farmhouso myself.
So thoy started all tliroo together.
Mrs. l'olntdexter and the rest ot us
wero already 6cated on tho piazza w hen
they came hurrying up out of tho ralnj
?Jp$ holng a proy to alarm, we pould
judge" dispassionately of tho gentlemau'u
appoamuce, and all ot us thought him
"Bkotchublo."
"Ask him If ho'd mind posing, Mrs.

Trench, when tlio stranger had seatod
himself liko tlio rest of us. "Dear knows
lioyy Jupjj wo may hayo to stay lturo) aud
I'liixuiuhu'diuuku a Uno sketch,'1
Tho inoiuuiit sho had spoken .s ho saw
tho stranger understood rrcn;u. Ho
tainod und said :
" I shall I io uappy to do so. Shall I
stand or sit'"
Mabel was so confusod that sho could
not answer.
"Sit," Julo replied; "if it is not too
rnuch ot a boro."
" Not at all," ho said glancing toward
" 1 had a teller from Anthon 0,U mormng,'
our chaperon. "I could move raounlalns
in tho uamo ot rolntdexter:"
" Y04 Ufioty the namo, then?" nuorlcd
Juls,
. " It Is tho namo of my best friend,
Anthon rolntdexter, ot Iloston."
Jule jumped up and grasped tho
stranger's hand with groat cordiality.
" Do you know hlmj" ho crlod eagerly.
" As woll as myBclt."
" Motherl" Julo exclaimed turning to
Mrs. X'olntdoxter, "This gentleman Is a

Tho' stranger drew out a card and

" Jf MU4 Lohlgh would undertake iny

You don't look as though you had a

" I'm suro you can glvo mo n great

with so profound a rovcrenco that ovory
ono laughed,
Tho next morning wo started out
bright nnd early, Mr. Hallcck with us.
Mllicent had a pupil who scorned bent
on exacting her full tlmeand attention.
It was four weeks aftor wo had had

His trees seemed to bo all toppling

" I'm afraid you will never bo a Eaph
aol o: j Titian, Mr. Hallcck," Mllicent
snla ono afternoon as sho sat looking
ovcrsomo of his recent distortions.
. Mllicent fluttered tho leaves ot tho
;cJ eh book, and glaneed ruefully nt Its
gonleuts. As sho did so a pioco of
paper fell out on tho grass.
Mr. Hallcck reached out his hand for
It ; but Mllicent had picked It up and wai
looking at It In astonishment.
It contained nn oxquislte llttlo sketch
of herself.
" Did you do It?" sho nsked.
"Yes no 1" ho answered hastily. "Let
rao sco It."
" No, you can't havo It I It doesn't bo
long to you, I am suro. You never
could havo dono It. It Is perfect In Its
way; but It Is entirely too flattering.
Who painted It, Mr. Hallcck?"
"I- did," ho said, "under nn Inspira
tion. You know such things happen
occasionally. Olvo It to mo. Mill
cent; I want both tho sketch and
tho original."
" You can't havo It," sho said saucily, '
but looking away to hldo what shono in
her cyos.
" I must," ho said In a fowtono. "I
cannot llvo without you. Darling "
Hut Juln'a voice was heard calling:
" Miss Mllicent, Miss Mllicent I Iloro
mother said you wero to read tills." ,
Ho came up with a letter In his hand.
Grasping tho situation ho left as soon
as he had executed his commission.
Mr. Hallcck was naturally provoked at
tho Interruption to his wooing. Ho
looked away with a vexed expression
while Mllicent glanced over tho lettor
Mrs. rolntdexter had sent her.
It wa3 signed, "Your son, Anthon,"
and began :
"My Dr.An MoTimn, I am delighted
to learn that you havo met Halleck.
Ho Is ono of tho boil follows I know, and
Is considered by tho Boston Society of
Artists ono of tho rising 6tars of this
Country," and so on.
The letter dropped from Mlllcent'a
hand.
" You you deceivod us 1" sho cried
in a choking voice. " You allowed mo
to to ottompt to teach you. Oh, what
a fool I've mado of myself 1"
Sho burst Into tears of vexation, and
covered her face with her hands.
" Don't bo angry, darling," ho whis
pered, gathering her In his arms, "I did
not mean "
" Let mo go I" she cried passionately J
" I cannot endure the sight of you." '
His face palod for an Instant, and ho
would have released her, but ho changed
his mind, and drawing her closely to him,
he said gravoly i
i love you, aiincent. Ten methatvou
are not ancry with me. I cannot bear
your dUploasuro."
tor a low niomonis Mllicent struggled
foobly in his arms, but his eloquence
quieted her at last.
" l orglve mo, uarllngl ' he beggod,
" What a billy thing you must think
me I" sho sobbed,
' I think vou'ro an aneel I And as for
talent, dearest, you havo qulto as much

Josephine Archer was angry. Bhe

snapped fire as she exclaimed ;
"Oh, tho monstorl" that was where

"Oh, the monsteri
face and oyos of society. Kato Blxby and
Hello Doundcrly both saw him gallivant

oh, oh I"
At this point her volco seemed to fall
her; but presently sho continued:
"Oh, Mr. Henry Oilman, If you don't
get a pieco of my mind whon next you
insult mo by your presence, then I shall
miss my guess. Oh, you black-hearted,
abomlnnblo, hypocritical, faithless, wick
'cd, wicked man I"
Josephine- was n pretty girl and a good
girl, eighteen years of ago. She was an
only child, tho pet of father and mother.
Two years previous to this time Henry
Gllman, n young lawyer, had selected
our thriving town as Ids field of labors.
Ho was a man of powerful Intellect, a
ready and eloquent speaker, truthful hon
cit, and linndsomu; aud was successful.
Henry Oilman had fallen In lovo with
Josephine Archer, and bho had fallen In
love wnti mm.
hen tho young lavyer spoko with her
parents on tho subject of his lovo they
wero delighted. They know how light
hearted and Impulslvo and effervescent
sho was, and believed that ho possessed
the qualities, both of head and heart,
necessary to her happiness.
Gllman had told Mr. Archer frankly
that ho possessed nothing but Ids profes
sion upon which to depend for a living.
His father had died when ho was fifteen,
leaving enough of property for tho sup
port of his mother, and Ids education.
"On the uay that l passed my exam
ination nnd was admitted to the bur. I
censed to draw from the scanty store my
lamer leu, ami i pronnseu my nioinor
that whllo sho lived I would not draw
another penny; and I only pray that she
may live to enjoy tno very last lartmng
of It."
So tho lover was accented bv all con
cerned. Hut a cloud arose, as we havo
seen, and a storm was threatened.
Moro than once Josephlno promised
her lover that sho would never allow the
iplrlt of Jealousy to posstss her.
And yet sho had let tho monster In.
Sho was about as lealous as a rrlrl could

Josophlno pronouncod tho namo savaco-

" Josoy, what Is tho matter with you?"
It was tho first time Henry had called
upon horslncosho had found cause tor
Jealousy.
" What Is It, darling?" ho continued,
attempting to put his arm nround hor.
But sho pushed him Indignantly away.
" What Is It? Oh, you cruel, wicked
manl And you ask mo what' It Is?"
IIo stood back, nnd looked upon her
In utter bewilderment.
IIo could not understand It. and ha
told her fco.
You can't understand It?" she ox-
clalmod.
Indeod I cannot."
Then." sho said, bostowlntr unon him
a look which sho thought would annihi
late him, " you had better go nnd ask
your protty widow your sweet Kitty
Coryden'r"
A uomu bursting at his feet could not
havo blartlod him more, but It was only
for the moment.
Presently Ids look of constcmntlon
gave way to a pitying smile, and ho Bald :

" Well, what moro'r. Let us have tho

" Oh, didn't you didn't you only

When her father and her mother rn

"Josephlno I my dear child ! what
Is tho meaning of Hits? What hns

Bho did not answer him. Bho only
bent her head lower, and sobbed mow
violently. Thon her mother spoko:
"Josephine, this Is nothing but n
lovers' quarrel, nnd all on your part, I'll
be bound. You'vo lieen doing foolishly,"
Tho girl was upon her feet tho In

and hor eyes flashing.
"A lovers' quarrcll" sho cried. "On

Tho effect of this outburst upon her

Henry lod the lady forward nud pre

Tho Judoo had recovered himself unon

was not at all surprised at the Introduc
tion. Henry had spoken with him on the
subject of finding a houso such as
his mother would liko to llvo In, for ho
had persuaded her to eomo and mako her
homo near him, If not with htm.
Mrs. Archc was surprised, for sho had
not heard that Henry was expecting his
mother's arrival, and tho moro so upon
beholding in that mother a woman so
young and so beautiful; but sho mani
fested no surprise In her greotlng, which
was n-arm and ardent.
It vas for poor Josephlno to bo dumb
founded. Henry had spoken of his
mother, had told how good sho had al
ways been to him, how siio had paid out
from her own store, for his comfort nnd
convenience whllo In collcgo, far moro
than sho was legally bound to do.
"Josephlno," ho now said, "this Is
my own dear mother; nnd this, mamma.
Is my own dear Josephlno; and I hopo
you will love her for my sako as well as
for your own."
Henry proceeded :
"I think I havo never tola you my
mother's namo. You will pardon mo,
mamma, My father died, as you know,
when I was fifteen ycarsofage. Three
years later my mother married ngaln
married with Judge Coryden, of Swan
port. At the end of a year tho judgo
died. My mother, of course, retains his
name, but sho seldom speaks of him,
and when old friends, who know not of
of this second ninrrlnge, call her by tha
old name, sho never corrects them."
Then ho turned to Josephine, anil said
to hor with a merry twinkle lu his oj cs :
' So, now, my darling, you know my
Bweet Kitty Coryden, anil I think you
will not tako It further amls3 "
Beforo ho could bpeak further, she
whlspored In bis car:
" Oh, Harry, don't don'tl Ifyoucan

Josephlno Is now a happy wlfo, with
beautiful children. Bho has not for a
moment harbored tho grcen-oyod mons
