"My baggage will bo forwarded from the station, as I preferred lo walk over Instead ol remaining overnight in such a dbliial-lookln town " "Very well, Mr. Walton. I know you need refreshments. Will assist Gertie In hoiryliig lea." Guy Walton, liniiil.-ouio as any cav alier of ancient time, nnd e jually as cuuiteous, tall nnd masculine louklng, wondered to hliustir If tbat little mite could cook, nnd what a mess lie would have to digeit but still, anxiety for the muss could nut let blm iu;t a mo ment. "What a queer-looking creature," glancing from, bis window at a covered up girl in n conkit'gguise. "How I en joy this novelty. Glid I have a pa per." Dut let me go back lo the Drew fam ily, once so aristocratic, owning a pala tial home, with nil necessary appurten ances, and n largo bnnklug establish ment In Baltimore.

"Gertie, jmi me not provoked at your father for " "No, mother, I was only murmuring nt tho little novelty niound here to amuse our visitor;" blushing shjly ns she spoke. "Well, lit's hurry him something to put him lu a good humor." A iter tea was over Guy ceased to wonder at the transformation of Ml s Drew, ns she entered tho parlor lu u neat, cool muslin, with dainty bows ol fresh ribbon and pink moss loses fast ened In her fnsliluiiiit.il coiffure, and ns he listened to a sweet melody that came 1 1 oiii a grand piano, drilling away In n chime of xllicry bells, nnd dashing Into Borne brilliant popular air. "Do you ting, Miss Drun?" "Under peculiar circumstances." "May I have the pleasure of listening to something from your repertoire of imuh?" "TIs very limited." "Sing one favorite, Gertie," chimed In lit r lather, making her extrication quite impossible. With Hushed cheeks she obeyed, and suiiice to say, nil listened spell-houiiil; and, as Guy looked at Geitlu Drew, love shown in his eyes lite was only a nonentity without her for him. Long alter the family bad retired. Guy was thlnklnpof hcrsoulreasonsng, su quick at repartee and indulging as a Cmljle in sarcasm, nnd with each wbilf . of Mnoke that culled lazily up, Gertie's laughing eyes peeped out, tind smiled a sweet Goodnight, Mr Wtilton; I l.opo our luilk-iuatd may nut awaken you1 early In tho morn, with her forlou song." i The next morning Guy with bis fish- lug tackle, stalled lor Hie trout Mrentu, J but so absorbed In our little fairy that, his absence was of bhurt duration, j Passing along tho end of the cottage,! he beard a soft sweet voice murmuilng I as Gertie read aloud to her mother.
