Dare say she will in time." , But Mr. Dawson found himself mistaken. As the days went by, not only did Miss Bissel not favor him with any of the above-named articles, but she kept away from him as much as possibile, and ignored his presence, aud at table never noticed his re- marks, and invariably declined the dishes which he sometimes found ‘himself compelled to pass to her. How could she do less, when not only did she dislike ‘selfish old “bachelors,” but had been frankly old by well-meaning Mrs. Moss that this special old bachelor hated old maids? Miss Bissel, when visiting the country, was foud of sketching and making collections of wood plants, and just now her specinl desire was for 3 specimen of maiden-balr fern, which she had been told was to be found in this neighborhood. Day after day +he would sally forth on this quest, and it more than once happened that in the field or woodland paths she would vome sud- denly upon Mr Dawson, taking what he called his “constitutional,” on which occasions she wuld recoil and avoid bim, as though he had Leen a toad or an adder, This treatment began to ir itate him almost as much as the attention and man uvrings of other old aids had formerly annoyed hin. One day, passing along a marshy hit of woodland he espied at the foot an old vak tree a splendid speci- maiden-har forn. For an instant he paused, remem- bering how often he bad heard Miss Bissel wishing fer one; but then passed on, with the thought that concern of his. Scarcely, however, bad he twenty paces when, at a turn of the gone pathway, he met that lady tace to then his better impulses ‘ooking for ferns, Miss Dlssel?” he sald, abruptly, before she could *Yes, sir,” she answered, frigidly. *] have just passed a very fine specimen, which I can point cut to you if you like.” Miss Bissel's bright gray eves grew brighter through her glasses. With- out a word she demure.y followed him, and he jointed with his canoe the coveted tre: of the oak tree ont “| am extremely y obliged Mr. Dawson,” said Miss 10 Lissel, with ceremonious politeness. * This is in- deed just what 1 pave been wishing I will not detain you further,” added sti: v.
