There. was no doubt about it; John NVeare was perfectly wretched that night. He had qtrirteled with Jennie IRO, and he wasn't' going to make it up. .The fact was-she gave herself too many air's, and he (lEln't mean to stand it any longer. —He didn't care if, she was pretty, ; That was no—reaS4 why she should-let Ilan' EL dozen fellows . at a time:hang bo t. the shop, or stroll in one at a dine, and, leaning on' their elbows, i:hatter and smirk and smile over the . taunter; cadets -atd officers; too, wild young fellows, irk) ;only did 'so for their own idle amusement, and would no_ more dream marrying her than they would of - inviting her to .a ball .that was coming off -net, month, .TO he sure, be was only a common cavalry, soldier, hat thin he hail been in the service a good :many years .now,---had an excellent charac- ter, and:a good trade at his-bask, his Either had died not long : since, and there was a_cotCage already kir Jen nie to walk into, and they might set tle-down at once if she'd only[ be son ble. Jennie. acted as stiop woman for her sister, -,-Mrs - Evans. - A very poor little shops, very small a id badly stOcked,JOr Mrs. Evans riad only managed . to get a few hounds worth •of things with what had been suhscribz,d for her at the garrison afrer the fever had -carried ”ff her huSband. The speculation answered pretty .welt at first, for many of the Akers wives, knowing what an industrious woman -Mrs. Evans-was, made a point'Of. - buying their tapes and cotton and sticks of sealing-wax s _of her:. Then . Jennie's pretty face was - seen - behind the Conn- . ter, - anal the Shop - was filled prom morning until night with officers and frisky young cadets, and theoriginal customers took flight-:though 'Mrs. Evans did not-know R. - believing the. busiiiess was safe in the keeping of Jennie, worked hard at the dress making (she had three children to support. and - .the shop alone `would not do it). ' - .. . The officers were not profitable., customers; for they only went to-flirt with . Jennie tinder the excuse of buy ing, a balmy paper, _or prlial)s asidng. ~ for a tifne-table. - .i, ! • Jennie made the most trimiand pretty rod obliging- of shop-woinen, and the,place itself wits always a pat tern of neatness ; lint the officers' wives did not care to go and Illy thread .Where they were evidently in terrepting a flirtation, and so the business continJed, to fall off; and .Mrs. Evans began to get quite un- . happy about it. Jennie pretty, kind-hearted, thoughtless Jennie-- had no idea that she had anything to do' with it. or she ibuld have sent every one of her admirers off at a pace that would have -astonished them. She had been only too de lighted, after her brother in-law died, to come frolin ' Devonshire an live 1 with her sister at Rio -i; —not only because she was- ye : fond of her sister, but also because she had wished many times to see John Weare again. She had - made his acquaint-; ance when her brother and he—fog they had been in the _Same. regiment —were 'stationed at - Plymouth, and she had payed them a flying visit with her father. John had told her that he was tired of the - service and' wished to settle down, and inwardly .thought that he could do no better than to ask - her to settle with him. He had been leery attentive-when she came to WoZwieh, and .gradually established himself on the footing of alovei, - till he found the' shop Away& - filled with - the .officers and cadets. At first he - was shy of . appearing be fore his superiors, then he got, jealous and, at last angry, for he, -felt and . knew that they meant her -no good, and beside it was doing real injury to the business of the shop. At last he spok e his mind -- and - tord . the co.i quettish Jennie - what he -thought,, and was snubbed for his pains. • - 'lf yOu think I don't know. bow to take care of myself, Mr. Weare, you are very much mistaken, and I d(int %Vint any one to tell me what's right or wrong. I know for my-s It' 'Well. Miss .h-nnie, 1 didn't mean to giVeoffence. I only; told you what I trought.' .. , 'Then you might have kept your thoughts to yourself,' i she said, with a little toss of her pretty head-.-`un- . less they had been 'nice ones,' she added. -He heard the aside, and im ked up his courage. - . 'lt's awful!) , hqrd. too, when one that really cares can't getenear you,' he replied. Just then Jennie caught sight of Ctilitaitlie, a tall and handsome man, withlong whiskers and . a red nose, coming in the (fired- Win of the shop, with;a big bunch of flowers in his hand. She had heard John Weare's last; Words, but she, was secretly of the. opinion that 'he ought to have come up to the scratch before,' so she thought that a little jealousy might do hint good: fOb t here comes Captain McGee,' AO WOOS k 064110101 4 1 .0 ' .. =II TOWANDA, BRADFORD COUNTY, PA., THURSDAY MORNING, JANUARY 26, 1882. .L 'Well, he's just the biggest black. leg in the service, Jennie, and if you take my advice you'll send him off sharp.' _ • I believe you,,are jealous, . k r. Weare, and telling stories about the captain ; he is always very polite• to me,'. and she smoothed her pretty hair ,and arranged the trines on the counter. • , . 'Oh. he's polite enough, no doubt.' 'And he's bringing me some flow ers.' . 'Stow look here; Jennie , are you going to take them?' 'Of course I am.' 3 ,We11, then; good-by.' - she laugh d.

If 'Jennie wanted him she : might send for him or get her sister to invite him to tes, as she iad done before. But John Weare was not'sent for, neither was he in- vited to tea, and his spirits began to wax low. . .
