that Bea Flagler rushed in upon me.
"I say, Phil, lend a fellow tweaty-flue

I proceeded to ascertain whether my fi

Ben, sarcastically.
"Yes,l suppose so. But I had a little

off, stumbling along • strange and un

Colonel Moggertob's house.for I had oft- .
en beard it described as a+ large atone
mansion.
In doe coarse of time I reached my
wished for destination. To my great )(by
it was lighted op brilliantly. The to
mates had not gone to bed yet, and I
would be spared the painful necessity of
arousing them from slumber.
There was a high fence. a wide gate
standing open and a broad grrvel path I
walked op a flight of stone steps and
stood before an open door. The spacious
ball was empty but from other apart
ments came t ham of voices. It must
lie that they ad comeary. This thought
was a little dispiriting, but I gave the
bell a vigorous poll.

asked as politely as I knew how.'
"Right up stairs, sir. first door to the

"Hold on a minute," I cried ; but she
was ou t of hearing.
My only alternative was to follow her
direction, and so I went up stain, first

my suspicion as to what was going on
was confirmed. Numbers of outs and
hats were strewn about. Yes, it must be

'All right; come along!

The supper was finished in due time,
and the other redivides rommenoed.
I was leaning against the railing of the
front stoop in a gloomy frame of mind,
when the Col. came along with harried
stride', bearii.g a chair in each baud.
'Colonel Mogsterton; I said.
'Her ! what ? Did you speak ?' He
pausea suddenly, and wheeled about fac
ing me.
'Yea, sir, I . spoke. How do you do sir'
I held out my hand.
'How do I—by Jove I if it isn't Bent
ley ! where did you come from ?'
'From home. I thought f would make
you a little visit.. I didn't know you were
having a party.'
'Well, sir,l'm glad to see you. Haveyou
met my daughter f' asked the colonel.
No—that is, I have not been introduis
ed to her.'
'We'll see to that at once, then. Come
along.'
He led the vs) into the parlor, and
bade me follow him as be proceeded to
to search for Miss Mogge:ton. She was
soon found, the center of a merry group
and her father dragged her forth.
'Bate, this is Mr. Philip Uentley. You
have heard me sp-nk of the family. 'rlus
is my daughter Kate, Mr. Bentley. There
now, make yourselves comfortable. I
must go and see the folks in the library.'
He strode off leaving e face to face
with the moat lovely girl thought,whom
I had ever met. She a full, white
face, brown eyes, a a fresh looking,
though subdued, mouth. She who of me
dium height, with a form all graceful
curves. I took all these points in it once
u I did also the soft, sympathetio feeling
of her hand. The remaining time puked
pleasantly, and finally, in the, wee small
hours the party broke up.
*How came you to unveil such a late
hour last night,Mr. Beutleyr asked Kate
the text morning.
'I didn't know exactly what time the
train passed here,' I said.
'The train? Did you come by the cars?'
'Certainly'
'But the night train does not stop at
Shelby.'
'Shelby ? Where is that ?'
'What a question ? It is a half • mile
west of here on the railroad.'
dldn't-conte that way. I came from
the place two miles south, where , they
stopped for wood and water.'
'What's that r demanded OuL
Mogger
ton, suddenly appearing from a path that
vu hidden by a close hedge. 'What
about the wood and water idioms ?'
merely remarking to Miss Hate
that I got off from the cars there, last
night, and walked over here.'
'And what did you do tbatfor, sir ?'
1 smiled uneasily.
'Why didn't you go to Shelby r
"The train does not stop there,"l re
plied. •
'Why didn't you learn that before you
started, and take some other train r
The stern catechism was the opposite
of reassuring. I timidly answered that I
was not tamilias with the neighborhood,
and did nut know that Shelby was the'
proper station at which to stop.
"Didn't your father give you inetruo
tions as to the route r
"No or."
"What al—and didn't you ask him ?"
Good gracious I What a wis) of going
at a thing. I hate blunders !"
"Father rinterposed Hate.
But I laughed weakly, and endeavored
to feel highly pleased.
'l'll tell you how to proceed, if yon el ,
ercome again. Go strait is Shelby by
rail-road and walk over here if pleasant,
if not ride.. les only • half mile. The
railroad takes a long curve, and two
miles south of bent is • watering station.
Gad! you had • good walk. didn't you ?
Served you right l"
And the colonel stalked off towards
his barns.
"You must not mind father, " and
Hut& "He has a rough lig or 11 1 034
but"
"0, certainly," I hastened to w;
like him all the better for
C!==::=tl=
better acquainted every moment. I was
cou6rmed and strengthened in my im
presaiou of Kate's lovliness, and the
thought creased my mind that I had nes
er known and never could ask any great
er pleasure than thus walk'ng by her side.
She was so fresh, so full of warm life.and
yet so refined and graceful in every word
and movement. ' And there was that in.
describable emanation from her bring
that sometimes steals upon one so.softly
thrillingly, forming tangled meshes of at
tractiou, ?rem which there is no escape.
I felt this in a general indefinite way,and
surrendered to the calm, cAntantment of
being with her.
Unconsciously our etepe:led us to the
(runt of the house, and we strolled down
the path toward the road.

"She is probably a swindler." I said,

"We see so much swindling of the kind

"I'll go and got my purse," and ran Into
the house.
That evening and the suooeeding day
passed without any ocouraaoe WilribY of
notice.
On the following morning I announced
my intention of walking to Shelby. Col
onel .lloggerton offered to drive me over
if I would wait until afternoon, but I
preferred to walk in the cool of the morn
ing.
It was a pretty little town, with noth.
log to distinguish it beyond tho average
American village. The air was hot, the
the streets were dusty, anti the sun beat
down steadily. I walked along, taking
Indolent notice of everything,and seeking
a barber shop.. At last 1 spied a striped
pole in the distance al:l6mm . Itapproach•
roe it, for I iimirded ShAVIZIF blaiy. A 1411.
hm decendant of Ethiopia arose at my
entrance.
'Shave iii."
I nodded, and threw myself back in
the barber's chair. The brush, full of
cool, soothing lather, was applied to my
flux with a deft touch. I closed my eyes
in oontentment. Ah I A flood of recol
lection burst upon me. I bad no money! .
How was I going to pay for the shave ?
I must do something (pinkly.
I leaped from the chair and exclaimed:
"Hold no ! There goes a man I mast
see Facuse me now. I'll come in this
afternoon for my share."
I rushed to the sink, and washed the
lather from my face, and then ran out,
wiping the water off with my handlrer
chief.
Once in the street, I assumed as tran
quil an air as t ioesible. Noon came, but
I felt no appettte, and so did not return
to Colonel Moruerton's. One, two, threw
o'clock were tolled out by the house bell

I bowed In assent and they drove on
again. In due time I waa at the appoint•

"Isn't it fearful ?" sighed Kate.
"What ?" I asked.
"The beat.'
"Oh, yes—oertainly. It is very warm.
I shouldn't have thought yon would hue
ventured to town."
"Father had business here, and be
always likes to base me ride with him.
Besides be said we would go to Illopria

This was another blow to ray feelings.
