mind that he wasuTtonaing at all.
- "One beautifUl morning, Aunt Lydia asked me to
.go over to Mri. Woodbury's fbr-her, on sonie, trifling
errtuni or Other, as Peter was . Gusy and could not go;
So putting May• white- cape-bonnet; I went. It was
11 1
half a milt, butl, thought-nothing of the walk.
.In
coming home, i was . sOwarni ,i thal I decided to go'
through .the wobil, -which layi between Mrs. Wood
burv's and our house . • I sauntered-along till I. came.
to a brodk that ran through the wood ; where it was
narrowest; a board had been laid across foii.s. bridge
—but it was old, and when I Was in the middle of it,
,
the treacherous thing broke. The water wasn't deers
not above my knees; 'but I didn't care toNvade it;
so as I felt the bridge breaking, I managed- to jump
on a largeatoile close by. latood . balaneing myself
on it, trying to dud-a Way to get across; when- I was
startled by a voice from the thistles near me, •hum
ming a tune, and then - in ri moment I heard the ea
clamation : -'' , i 'i • . ~,.
"'Why, Messina, here!,4 tiler divinity of the place!
What.a charming attitude!' I ... • •
" 'Whoever yea are,' r called out, ' I Irish you
would help me across here.'
" It's i'pjty to spoil incli 4 pretty picture; said
the voice. 8611 I, OA bo'post happy to serve
you. Wait a.motnent.' -

" A piece of board soon made its appearance, and
was laid with one end oh the. atone I was standing
on, ap...pe other so the oppoisite'side of the brook.
" then, Undine.' .
" I lauded safely; with no Other damage than a
pair of wet feet, -and a neat : i morning dress much
splashed and drabbled. I thanked the bridge mak
er, who only sl4ugged his shoulders, and said; com.
-
ically :
" fortunkte for me that I came along this
way. I hope you will pardon i rne, but I await:anted

at me, or asked rue to try andihe more digni9ctl.'l':.
• Cousin Carrie;' I interrupted,. " you here nod
told me how he looked.' Wks he, tall and hand

" Ile was' tall, Kate, but! dop't know whether you
I would call him handsome ' r nO4. There was a' de

and it was not a common one.il He had very light

there was a sort of careless - elegance and freedom in
his manner that fascinates woamn always, and'comes
only from mingling in societti and- a certain eon--
