'One afternoon I was hurrying along tho strt'et as fust as tho snow and Ico would let nio toward tho residence- of Miss Constanco Iloward, and had ar rived within a few doors of the house, when I caw a small, plainly dressed young woman cautlnuMy dccendlng tho steps, and then as cautiously, with eyes bent on the ground, advancing hi my direction. She worn no veil, aud as sliu drew near to me 1 studied her face with pleasure. It was such a bright, brown, honest. Innocent face. "Well, sir, I was looking so earnest ly at tills bilttht, brown, innocent face, und not minding my steps at all, that I never sitw n largi lump of Ico directly In my patlmny, and tumbling over it In thu most awkward maimer, was pre cipitated Into thu very arms of tlio small woman, my tall I at btriklng her full iu the lace and then bouncing off into the street. I regained my perpendicular In time to hear a half distressed, half-sharp little voice exclaim: "Oh, my tooth I" and see a pair of peculiar gray eyes raised reproachfully to my face, as a pair of woolen gloved hands went up to a pair of charming crimson lips. De fore 1 could utter a word of apology and regret she had glided, sllded or skated away, and I stood looking llko a fool, and wondering whether I'd bet ter glide, slide or skuto after her, when 1 saw something glittering ou the Ico at my feet. I stooped and pinked It up a fairy tooth I You needn't look so hor ror stricken, Earl, It wasn't a real one, of course. "Tlsn't likely I could have struck tho young creature so violent a blow as to knock a tooth that had grown thero out of her mouth without knocking her down. It was a false one, but tho tini est 1 had ever been In my life, false or real, I looked at It a moment and put it Into my pockethook, Tho first ques tion that I asked Constance, when i-lio camo down Into tne parlor to recelvo me, was: "Who Is tho small woman who left this hnuso a short time ago brown as a gypsy, dark atched ejebrows, nose retrousse, mouth like a baby's, gray eyes, witli a queer look in tucin, and woolen gloves " "Piay,liow long did you look at her?" said Constance, "Two minutes," answered I. "You saw a great deal in two min utes," she retorted, witli a disagreeable laugh. "What a capital traveler and slglit-seer you would make I You could rush through a gallery of paintlugs, for instance, aud catry away as many In your mind's ejo as tlioo unfortunates who, not possessing your extiaordiuary talent' "Don't chaff, that's a good child," I Interrupted. "Who Is she?" "She,"' answered Constance, with a curl of her Hp, "U a young person, one of my Aunt Fidelia's favorites hy-the-by, I'm not included among them," with a shrug of thu shuulders and a grimace "who conies heru every after noon, Sundays excepted, to teach my little sisters their A 11 t!'s." "Well, sir, I did nothing but think about the brown faced governess and the mito of a tooth all next day, and the next, and at Iatdetermitied to find out where she lived and send it back to her. anonymously, of course. It was such a rldlrulous thing fur a man to carry around with hliu. If It hud been a handkerchief, or a glove, or a ribbon, or a (lower but it wasn't. "How to find out whero she lived be came the question, solved for tne by sheer good luck that eveulug, when I went to call on Constance. "Miss Iloward was not at homo, but Mrs, Falrman (Aunt Fidelia) was, aud had a message fot me. "The very thing I I Inwardly exult ed, as I entered the room, with outward cniupoMire and dignity. You remetu ber Aunt Fidelia? A slim, keen, blue eyed, rather dramatic old lady, with 'no nonsenso nbout her,' and a very decid ed way of speaking. "Constanco lias gone skating," she said. "Her orders aro that you follow her. I supposo you'll obey tlietu ?" "Can't I stop and rest a few mo ments?" asked I, "Tho old ladysmllcd. "I haven't tho slightest objection," sho said; "on tho contrary, I shall be glad to have you. I like you as well as 1 like any of them perhaps a little better. Ilavo you any news ?" "My news was exhausted In five min utes, apparently not at all to the disap probation of Aunt Fidelia, who, llko most old ladles, delights much more Iu talking than In lisUtilng, and who In live minutes more (I never cuuld toll how bliu got there, but it was through no questions of mine) began to hold forth ou the subject above all others 1 would have chosen tho nursery gover ness. "Such a dear little thiugl" she said, "and so kludto her widowed mother! a poor seamstresr, unable uu account of her delicate health, to sew half the time. I can't Imagine what she wuuld do If It were not tur Daisy " Aud do you know, old fellow," said Douglass, breaking off In his narrative to take a long whiff at his cigar,aud scud a lleecy ring floating upward, "that If I bad been asked to cbuose a uamo fur her, that's the very name I'd have chosen Daisy. A bright, sturdy, constant, frauk faced little (lowers, making pleas ant the fields and meadows and road sides. Are you smiling? ISeg pardon thought you were; aud I didn't wonder at it. The girl is the life and light ot the bumble place she calls her home, und to the eyes of her mother there U no sunihlno like Daley's smile," said Auct Fidelia; "aud apropos of that, let me tell you something odd that happen ed to Miss Ilusscl a couplo of days ago unless you nre sufficiently rested to and wMi to follow thu skaters." "I assure you, my dear madam, I am not sufficiently rested, and very much Interested," I said. "Fray go on." "The old lady went on. "Daisy has the loveliest tiny teeth In tho world, but unfortunately last week she broke one of the front cnes. Away goes the child to thu dentist, and had what was left of It pulled out, and then homo to ber mother, and smiles. "Oh, dearl oh dearl" cries the mother who Is, as I told you before, a weak, nervous thing "where Is your tooth? and where, oh I where, Is your smile?" You seo, the tooth, Mr. Douglass, had taken Daisy's smile with It, and the poor girl didn't look at all like Daisy. So tbo modest little thing, who hadn't given a thought to her looks herself, seeing her inmlier's distress, went directly back to the dentist, and begged him to tell her what to do "Have a falso one in Its place," said lie; "but It will take some time to get up a permanence, aud you say you must have something Immediate ly. Tlio only thing wo can do Is to find a tooth nnd fasten It In with a bit of wax to servo as a temporary." "Easier said than done, Mr. Doug lass. It took a long while a whole afternoon, In fact to match Daisy's pretty teeth; but at last It was dono.and thu dear little, daughter went home In the twilight, and smiled again at her contented mother. Well, a day or two after, going from here, some stupid man slips on the Ice, falls violently against tho child his tall hat striking her. straight in tne moutn, ana out nies tue "temporary." And now Mrs. Itussel is pining for sunshine again." "Who was tho man ?" I asked. "Why, what a silly question I" said Aunt Fidelia, sharply. "Uow should I know ? And as lor Daisy, her near sighted eyes didn't rest on him an in stant, and alio couldn't tell htm from Adam. So, poor thlug, after all her trouble, she's lost tho tooth. Can't get another, becauso sho isn t able to rec ompense tho man for the time it would take to Hud one, and Is obliged to go about with her mouth shut. You needn't s.ty how dreadful for a woman; I'll say it for you.', "The mother Is a seamstress,' said I; 'perhaps my mother, who Is kindness itself, could help her to somo work that would pay her well, Can you give me her address?" "You're a good boy," said the unsus pecting old soul; aud scribbling it on one of hor own cards, she gave it to me. 'And now I think you'd better go. Good-night.' "The next day after my highly satis factory Interview with Mrs. Falrman was St. Valentine's day, and what I considered a happy thought fl.islied into my mind, and I instantly procoeded put it Into execution. I bought a pretty little tortoise shell box, laid tho tooth lu it on a bed of white cotton, In com pany with two or threo small gold pieces to pay for the "permanence;" and wrapping the box in a sheet of rose perfumed paper, ou which I had writ ten a verse or t vo what a time I bad trying to find rhymes to 'mouth' nnd 'tooth'! I sent It by one of our errand boys, with strict injunctions not to ans wer any questions, to the residence of Miss Daisy Itussel. Judge of my as tonishment when, In less than an Hour, tho box, minus tho tooth, but still con taining the coins, was leturned to me, with a tioto written tn a baud which be trayed extreme agltatlou, aud which read thus : "Miss Itussel thanks Mr. Douglass for hU kindness, and, while retaining her own property, begs to return tho verses aud other things sent by mis lake." "Imaglno my feelings, ray dear fel low . No, you cm't Imagine them ; It's impossible. .My cneeifs, man as l am, actually burned with mortification. I came near Hinging tho money, or 'the other things," as sho called it, out of the window ; but, on second thought, pocketed it Instead. "How in tho world had sho found mo nut? No doubt sho knew, through the Howard children, thero was such a per son, but In what manner had she dis covered that tho sender of the valentine and IEobert Douglass wero identical ? What should I do to pacify the little gypsy? how prove to her that what I had douu had been In thoughtless kind ness ? I made up my mind to call upou her. Thu affair could not be properly explained by letter. Embarrassing as an Interview might prove, I must face the situation Use a gentleman. And In half an hour after the box was return, ed, I was ringing at the door ot thu house where dwelt Miss Daisy Itussel. tho opened the door herself, and peered curiously at mo with her lovely near sighted eyes It was evldeut sho did not kuow me by sight.
