The NnpentR had l-fn the -TeAt peo ple of Iano Ella lonpr lfore their larpe uply red brick mansion waft imilt, and When they live.1 at the Manor, a rambling two-etoriel house, net in the midst of a huge cherry -orchard, and forming as near as possible tho center of the villape. When the Queen Anne mansion put the more cosy and picturesque Manor in the ehade, the Manor waa turned into a dower house, the occupant of which waa the mother of Jaiqter Nugent, the reigning Squire, or, as she waa always called, "Mad am Nugent," by all tho country round. Ab a means of distinction lietween the two Mistresses Nugent, the Squire's wife was invariably sokeii of as -the Mistress." In many parts of Yorkshire it is not the custom to give the grat family their name. In Tieano Ella.there were -'Mod-am," nho Mistress," t" iSrjuoire," "t yoong f pi. ire," and "Miss IV,lly." There were jieople round almt who considered that Squire Nugent did not maintain his dignity tut ho ought to have done. They said he did r.ot possess tho atmnint of eiclusiveness and pride 1k! coming to a man of his station and ancient lineage; but thej were not his friends or his own people who snid so. He waa Nugent of Doano Rlla, just s his forefathers had been Nugents of iH-ane Ella for many generations I a -fore him. Ho Xnew evei-y man, woman, ami child on his estate, just as he had known most of th eir fathers beforo them. Ho hail no fear of losing caste by standing and talk ing half an hour with Jacob Wright, or sitting as long in Widow Smart's cottage, listening to her account of "them rheumatics"- ay, and what was lest of all, taking interest in them too. No pride? Why, he had tho lx:st pride of ail the pride that cares for nothing or noliody, only for doing what is just and right! So the mushroom-gentry round about whispered their petty deprecating re marks amongst themselves; and Squire Nugent went on his way in blissful disre- f ard of them and their opinions alike. was a handsome, blue-eyed, broad-chest-d roan, utandiwr sir feet two in his fbieking. with a frank hearty laugh, a fearless look, and a great hanC ready to help every one alike. He hod a huge contempt for London and town ways, though he sacriticed himself every spring, and left the cherry-blossom mid tLe fiesh air ln-hind him for a month l'i-:iiisn the Mist re .is liked her season the Mistress's will and pleasure were law to him, as they had fieen to every one else in Donne Klla ever siricti the tirt S in day le. r golden hair and inqierioiis violet eyes had won every huart, as she stl li--ide her biir liaudsoino hnsliand in ttie old church. For !.er he dawdled away lotitr n:ornii:gs in - hops, woi.di;: ii:g the wiiile Jif Ji was giving tiij rmiu mare hur exact amount of exercise, or if the chestnut foal was as great a beauty as Uriggs had sent "him word. For her sake he sat in hot thea tres, and when ho laughed at th jokes laughter like himself, huge and hearty jople turned round and laughed for very sympathy he looked so jolly. And so Nugent of Deane Ella went on his way. a happy, healthy, hearty country gentleman the hardest rider, the liest shot, and the handsomest man for twenty miles round IVane Klla, looking, as sme jnnple saiil, the living eiulxsliment of the two words carved nli',e the r-at hearth in the hall the two words which were the motto of his house, "tor ever: -lly Is-ll-ly, Iv.lly, I say!

"Dear me. are they generally allowe.1 to run w ild like that t" "Run wild," repeated Mr. Car-rut hers, with a laugh. "Why. the people about IVane Klla worship them if jxissil.hi, more than they worship the Squire him self; and lV.ily is the most perfoct little) aristocrat vou ever saw." Meanwhile the childr-n ran swiftly on through the village street ; Dolly stum blimr onco or twice, but keeping bravely up wun inn ueip hand.

"1 1 lieve the missis was making some cheese cakes this inoriiiiii,', ami 1 doubt shell In- ready to give Master Jasper a few ; so come in and we'll see." He picked l"l!y up in his arms and car ried her into the largo old-fashioned kitchen, setting her down in a hug" arm chair of oak. polished with use and black with aire, from which throne-like seat Dolly heri.ically surveyed the prej ora tions for the relief of her injuries. "Annie," cried M rs. Pickard. going to the f.mt of the stairs, "bring a clean soft towel down directly 1" An answering "Yes'm" was heanl. and a moment later a comely woman-servant ran in with a towel in her hand, stopping short as she perceived Ifc'lly in the arm chair. "Has aught come to Miss Dolly?" sho E8kod. "Yes; T've liarked my knees, returned Dolly philosophically, looking down upon her little bruised and bleeding knees with an air of triumph which set them all laughing. "But I didn't cry; did I, Mr. William!" "No, my honey ; you're t' Squire's own daughter," he answered, smoothing the golden curls away from her flushed face. "A real brave little lass, phe i.s." Oh-h-h! -and IV.lIy made a grimace as Mrs. Pickard applied the warm water to her bruises; then with a comical down ward look, "Will it mark me, do you think?" The jolly farmer burst out laughing. "Well." cried Dolly, half laughing too, "Joe let the gray mare down last year.and father said she was never good for any thing afterl" "Take no notice of him, my pot, paid Mrs. Pickard, stopping to kiss the pretty bruised knee as she dried it. "It w ill le all right in a day or two. Annie, bring out pome cheese-cakes and some r.roam. Would you like a few strawliorries tors my iet?'' "Y es, I should, please, very much," an swered I lolly; "but" breaking off and turning anxiously to watch the farmer, who was moving away "Mr. William Pickard, you won't go without me?" she cried imploringly. "Surely not," he answered returning. "I was thinking, mother" ho often called her "mother," though they had no chili 'ren wn might go out and g"t our business, over, and then come back and get some cheese-cakes. You see t'Squire wants the grub in good time." "Oh, yes, please, Mrs. Pickard'" put in Dolly eagerly. She was dreadfully afraid those of the sti'i ner sex would halve her in the lurch. She jumped down from the large chair and followed the fanner and Jasper, but when she roa.oh.-d the .lonr turned l :.-k. a'ld gr.ii-g up to Mrs. Pickard. pot 'wo loving arms round her, and uplifted a ten der rose-bud mouth. "Thank you, dear Mrs. Pickard." she cried.

"Meanwhile Dolly, with the real Nugent pluck, ran out r.l the house j.nd along the , rubble as if she had never had a fall in j her life ; and having seen tho whole of the , wasp-taking process, during which the 1 farmer and one of the men got a sting or j two, it-turned to the house with Ja-:jx r, and went straight into Mrs. Pickard's ; ph-ju-ant sitlipg-room where ihey found the promised chees-cake c.nd stra-.v-l-iries.

"Yes; but still it isn't polite," objected Dolly ; "and I think mother would lio ashamed f you!" Here Mrs.Pic.kaid lient down and kissed the pretty flushed face again, piling the largest strawberries on her plate its' she did so. "I say, Jasper," remarked Dolly pres ently, pausing wiih a largo straw l-rry in her right hand, whilst with her left she held Mrs. Pickard's hand tightly, "don't you , ish Culvert, .n was neref' Ciiipii'" answered Jasp-e. with a grunt that might mean anything or nothing.

"Are my young j!o.le here?" crif!l a voice from without at that moment.

Como in, sir ; come in, my lord ; you aie lioth very welcome!" cried Mrs. Pickard, ell in a flutter of delight at such distin guished visitors. "Oh, you are here!" said the Spiii-p. as he entered the room. 'Culverton has come over for the rest of the day; and I thought we might find yon here." "Yes; we come to see tho wasps" nest taken," answered Iolly, looking ait. her father towards the young owner of Cul verton Towers. "And I was jubt wishing Culverton was hero, lor the strawtrf'rries are so good ; w:-s.i't I, Mis.

The Sqniir rested his eh'-ek against his little daughter's golden hair af? 1 mnie no reply, though pcrhsps his silence was ef ficiently eloquent.

"I5ut I didn't cry." supplemented IMly, with infinite pride in the a.ssrtirv, "though I've hurt both my knees. But William Pickard says I sha'nt be any the worse it won't murk me." The Spiire bust out laughing, and quitfl forgot to rebuko Jasper for not taking bet ter care of his sister. At that moment the farmer himself entered. "Good afternoon. Squire," he said. "Glad to sea you. my lord. You'll have heanl o' Miss Dolly's mishap f "Yes," answered the Squire, hugging Dolly a trifle closer. "Ay, she came down like a pack o' pota-tr-ies; an' I doubt she'll have cut her little kneel a'most to t' tione; but she's made o' the real old English ttufT, Squire." "For I didn't cry at all," said Dolly tri umphantly. "That she didn't!" continued the far mer, looking at her admiringly. "I've just sent the grub up to the house, Spiire. "Oh, thanks, very much!" returned the Squire. "And that reminds me that I have very little time to spare. Are you young folk going liack with me?" "I'm going down to Jackson's with Wil liam, father," answered Jasper. Jasjier had lieen privileged to call the farmer by his Christian name from early childhood just as his father did.

The subjects of their conversation had reached the sih"-door leading into the House gardens. "Here's the toffee. IV.lly." Instead of taking the packets. Dully threw her arms round thel ,y. "Bertie, I do love you." sin- cried. "For the toffee ?" he asked loftily. "No, not for the toffee for your very own self," she answered. "Better than Jasper?" he asked jealous ly She looked up the road and down the road, at a pparrow hopping on the edge opiwsito, at the packets of toffee iu Cul verton'p hands anywhere, everywhere except at Culverton's dark face or Culver ton's gray eyes, the only Culverton feature he ptissessed. "Jasper has so many penpl" to love him," she sai l at last, almost apologeti cally, "and you " "Have none," he ended bitterly for a liy of his age only fifteen. "But you have me." objected Dolly. "Yon don't know-how I love you. Bcrtio!" His eyes brightened at the sound f his name, never heard save fioiu herlij; and he put one more question. "And will you always like me liestf" "Of course," returned lv illy, raising an innocent rose-bud mouth to lie kissel. The young Karl bent down and kissel her, almost with a sigh. He h:id some glimmerings of what would come in the future she had none. Dolly opened the divir and led the way tn the Fidri-entrance of tho mansion. Tho door stsl wide open and showed a broad .ssago paved with black and white marble, in a large lozenge-liko littern. There was a very old table of black rak, and there were two high-backed chairs, a rack for whijis, a stand for umhrelhis, a rough coat of Jaspt r's. and a cloak of I lol ly's. On the table was a small silver sal vor, containing one or two cards; and on a tray was a slice of bread and honey hav ing ono great bit in it, which Iv.Hy had lieen disposing of when Jasper's imperious summons called her to go to farmer Pickard's. At the sight of it, Culverton laughed and U'gan an insulting nursery rhyme about a song of six-js-nce and a pocketful r.f rye. But sweet-t. injsred IVilly took it in good part and volunteered a voluble explanation. "You see, it wa-s this way, Bertie," she snid eagerly.
