To avoid any appearance of being abont to develop a mystery we will state the facts of the case as simply ne possible, Robert Van Etten, the head of the family, and brother of the two girls, wns engaged in business in Phila: deiphia, from which city Chesterville was distant some fifty miles; and being himself married, the girls were left a good deal to their own A Robert's experience of matrimony led him to consider that it was an ex- cellent thing for everybody, snd as his sisters were rathor isolated where they lived, he took every opportunit of bringing them in contact with young men of a desirable character.

Etten's acquiescence in her sister's visiting arrangement, and her own elaborate toilet making, explain them- pelves, As for Augusta, her conduct was pardonable, pe rhaps, for she was a year her sister's senior. Her own conscience was doubtless easy on that | point, which also amounts to a good deal, At any rate Augusta felt that her appearance, when she descended | to the parlor to await the arrival of Mr. Beymour, was about as satisfactory as could be wished, a reflection quite | conductive to her fuller peace of mind. Seated near the window, Miss Van Etten commanded a view down the road leading to the village, and final- ly, a little before noon, she had the pleasure of seeing the gleam of steel | fixings in the sunshine, and a young man astride of a trim looking * ‘safety’ rapidly approaching the cottage. Miss Van Etten surveyed the stranger crit- ieally as he descended from his bicycle with an athlete's casy door, bell, “Ring-a-ting” went the and | Augusta listened for the coming of the 1 { maid to answer it. No maid materialized, and the bell was rung again a little londer Miss Van Etten rose from her seat and went to the door. A young man was bowing profusely to her when she opened it. “Miss Van Etten, I presume?” the | handsome young man sai 1, promptly. “Yes, Mr. Beymour,” retaliated the young lady-—adding at “Come received a letter from my brother in Philadelphia thas stating that you would be here to-day. Please take a seat.” The young athlete dropped ecom- into inviting chair, re- sponding *‘Yes-—Philadelphia—broth- delighted,” and so forth among the 1 wlite rejoir ders, “Dox sn't bie yeling fatigue dreadfully 7 asked Miss Van as soon as she had scolded the gi her tardiness and found her own “Not those used to it. do not ride, yourself, Mies Etfen ?” “1 am afraid Chesterville ked ou of bitants dared once n A an O64 Etten, rl for sont, Yon Van wlio are wonld f one of to do be ita such a sh 118 senses 1 female inhatl thing.” ““And yet such turesque place too!” “Yes, Chestervillewas rather pretty, Miss Van Etten conceded. “Wasn't it rather dull “Yes, terribly so.” “Were the were they, names?

If they would only sell first-class works and conduct themselves correctly, it would be very different.’ Miss Van Etten acquiesced amiably. The subject of favorite books was resumed. “You have seen the new society novel, I presume,” enquired the Phil- Miss Van Etten had not been so fortunate. A dive into the | bieyeling costume, and from some in- | ner receptacle the young man brought | forth a neatly bound volume, which he handed to Miss Van Etten. ““Theso are only some of the illns- trations,” he remarked, carelessly ; “the volumes have been gotten out in | J the most Super style.
