Fred Lawrence's Adventure,
Lucy, saltl merry Knte Myrtle, ad-
dressiii her oouslu, Lucy Lawreiict-,
" where tlo you think Kretl has spent
bis evenings for some time ?"
The lauy autlrei.spd looked tip some
what surprised at Kate's uuestion, but
she ansutired,
" In his room, pnrlnt; over those old
volumus of ancient history '
' ion are .nncli mistaken, Miss
Lucy," replied Kate, her eyes spark-
llni; with mischievous hlimor. '' Ills
would not be sttulyliii' these musty, fusty
old books while there Is so pretty 11
yoiinj; lady as tne widow Mnrston's
daughter In the vlllnce I"
' what hits Frt-d to do with Annie
Maraton V lntiulreil Lucy, as she en-
tlcuvoitil to read the puzzling expression
(hat rested upon her cousin's good-hu-iiiored
face.
It was some moments before she re
ceived an answer to her question, when
Kate with a slight lautr.li, replied,
' Why, cousin, he's iu love with
her."
' In love with Annie Marhton 'I I
don't believe It," exclaimed Lucy, In a
tout) of surprise and curiosity.
" Well, I'll tell you something, ami
then you tuny bnlli-vo It or not, jn-t as
you pleiiM'," returned Kate, with a
r-erlo'coinlcal air. " Nlcht befoie last,
It was rather bite when we retired, vou
lecolluct, and I was aiilferlim with n
srvere headache. Ytiil were soon asleep.
but I was unable to rest riiiin pain, and
with the hope that the night air would
cuul my I111t1.ini; brow, I left the house
by the bauk window, and walked slow
ly down lint pmlen path. Ily some
means I elianced to turn my eyes lu the
direction of the widow Mnrston'H tlwel-
llnj!, unit as tiie moon shone brightly, I
could plainly see two figures standing
upon the steps. One, I was stiro was
Annie, and the other, u young gentle,
man, was sure I didn't know. They
stood there a few moments, wheu An
nie entered the house, and her com
panion, whom I thought looked like
Fted, w.t Iked down the street. Ah be
cauiu nearer 1 was sure It was Fred.
He entered the gurdeu, and as I con
cealed myself behind the rosebushes be
did not see me. He cautiously ap
proached the window from which I bad
inadu my egress, stepped in, and then
closed it. In a few moments more I
returned to the house. I knew that tho
person Iliad seen on the steps with An
uie, was your brother, aud no one else,
and I was sure. also, that the old vol
umes of history hadn't been disturbed
that evening; I"
" Aud do you really believe that Fred
spends his evenings wltn Atiulei Alur
stun V" asked Lucy, us Kate ceased
speaking.
" Certainly I do. Last night I
watched him as I left the room after
tea, and I saw that ho slipped out and
was in a few moments at tile widow
Marston's. It was neatly midnight
when ho returned, for I heard the win
dow open nud shut beforo the cluck
struck that hour."
" Wbat raotlye could he bavo in be
ing so secret about Ills visits ?"
" lie knows we should be continually
teaiiug Iilm respecting Annie, and,
doubtless piefers to keep bis secrets
safe from us."
' There can bo no other reason," re--turned
Lucy, laughing in spite of her
self. 1
" We must 'puulsli Fred for doing so,
Lucy," said Kate, as her cousin seemed
to comprehend, the. utlalr, " and I think'
we can prevent him from staying so
late with Annie, ' wasting tiro and
lights foi nothing,' as Uncle Joe would
say."
1 How do you think we can punish
him severely enough to keep him at'
home?"
I do not think wo csu prevent him
from visiting Annie, but wo can,- I
think, prevent him from, staying later
than teu'ln the ovualtii; ; indeed,' I am
quite suruwe can."
" How ?"
Katb bent her head and whispered
for a tew moments Iu the ear ot her
cousin, and after a tew more merry
words, they both sprang up and left the
room.
'That night, -Just as 'the clock struck
twelve, Fred Lawrence parted with bis
Vlady-lore"on the steps ot bet mother's'
dwelling, and with a light heart turned
his. steps la tbe direction ot bis own
homo. To tell the truth, dear reader,
Fred wns iu love with Annie Mnrston,
and It Is 110 less true that Aiiuto was in
lovo with him. lie dreaded the mis
chievous teasing of his cousin Kate
Myrtle, and leaicd it, too, more titan he
would the displeasure of a king ; and
the cutting sarcasm of bis sister was by
no means pleasant, lie bad determined
to keep his engagement tn Annie un
known to llu-iii, It possible, until lie
felt better prepared to eiiduro their
pioseoutlon.
It was but a short distance from the
widow Marston's to Ills own home, and
he was suou standing, at thu Identical
window tit which Kate had seen hint
enter some evenings before. Ho slow
ly raised the sash, but ere lie had suc
ceeded, In getting It to the required
height, a difficulty occurred thu sash
would nut move up another inch, aud
supposing it had struck something ac
cldenllally placed there, he renewed
his efforts to raise It. To his surprise
and consternation, 113 he pressed bard
upon the sash, down fell a brass ket
tle, seveial tin pans, aud the shovel and
tongs, upon the floor, with a ringing
crash, loud enough to wake every one
in thu house 1 Fred sttuled back tnnd
turned pale.
" now could thoso things have got
there ?" muttered he, as he listened at
tentively to ascertain if the noise hai
aroused any olo, The sash was now
easily raised, and ho sprang into the
room, but not without kicking against
one of the pans in his haate, and send
ing it across the lloor, making consider
able noise. Intent upon reaching his
cbamher before any one should rise to
discover the cause of thu upioar, he
hastened through thu room, and quick
ly opened the dcor leading Ui the next
one. Unfortunately, there chanced to
be a couple of large chairs placed near
it, aud as It was hastily thrown open,
they were upset, aud belli t; full of tin
dishes, spoons, knives, and everything
that would make 11 noise, you may
know that there was a crashing.
'The deuce take HI" muttered Fred,
as he rii-hed through the room, upset
ting chairs, work-stands, and be knew
nut what, iu his flight. At length he
teached.thestnlis leading to his cham
ber, and was In hopes that his trials
were now ut an end. He sprang up
two or three of the steps, when his head
struck agalipit something which had
been hung from the celling above.
Itlng-a-tiiiL' went the big dinner-bell,
and tbe soiiUd echoed through the houu,
making mure noise than anything yet
hud done. Fred was desperate. Ho
rushed up the lllght of steps, again
striking Iris head harder than before.
11 hud nearly readied the chamber
door, when ho suddenly stopped, and
gazed fully upon an object that stood
lieloru him. There, between himself
and the door, stood a motionless, silent
liuuie, peifectly realising that object
uf rather doubtful exi-itence, III our
enlightened days, namely, a ghost. The
iiioon.lght strea.ned in upon the lloor,
and plainly levealed the outlines of a
whlte-roued figure to thu distracted gaze
of Fred Lawrence. He ga7.ed at it for
just two iLinuies, then dashed down the
stairs. Again tho dinner-bell sounded,
anil in another moment the almost dis
tracted Fied was leaping over the tables
und chairs with the Intention of making
his exit through the window,
i' What is the matter?" exclaimed
Mrs. Lawrence, appearing witli a light
just as Frod vanished from thu room.
" What is the matter 1" cried Lucy
.Lawrence, from thu head of the stairs
" What Is the matter ?" spo'.te tho
supposed ghost, throwing oil the white
robe, (and disclosing thu face and form
of Kate Alyitle.
It ls'.needless to say that the girls
were at the bottom of the affair. They
had determined that Fred should be on
lirely cured uf staying so late at Mrs,
Mitrstou's.and of coming lu at that win
dow. Katu aud Lucy laughed Immo
derately at tiieir success In frightening
Fred ; Mrs. Lawrenco looked gravo.aml
the servants, who had beeu aroused by
the uproar, surprised aud astonished
The girls explained all, nud their rea
suns for dolug it.
In less than an hour the furniture
was replaced, the bell taken down, and
sllenco reigned. But It was two hours
more before Fred ventured to enter the
house, and then he didn't attempt to
enter by that window.
The lesson bad the desired effect, and
Fred atlerward returned from Mrs.
Marston's, before the girls and his
mother retired, and entered properly
by the door. And about two weeks
after there wasu wedding at the widow
Marstou's.und Miss Annie Marstoii be
came Mrs. Fred Lawrence. Though
many yeais have passed since then, still
Fred Lawrenco has not yet forgotten
this incident or nu courting days.
