He knows It, too, by Jove! In spite of his tine, name, and all his aueestois. I believe he Is half afiuld of me. I did not like his looks when I Insisted on delay and Inquiries; he actually said ho did not know that was the custom In this country. A Jack-a-napes! He thought, no doubt, he had only to hold up his finger und many an American heliess. An heliess there's tho iub! "Would ho Ik In such a hurry If Louisa had not a foitune? At this point of his Indignant reverts Mr. Ashton nearly ran over an old ludy, slowly walking in front of him. nnd, hrtving to apologize, changed the cut rent of his thoughts. The Jiome of the Majntirds was beautifully situated on the bank of a ivldu river. Rowing and hailing, lawn tennis, driving and tiding kept tho joung people out of doors enjoying the de lightful davs of lata murmur, Tho large, filil-fnhloned house was trammed full of gueslnli lends and lolatlves, chlldicn nnd parents, youn.r men and maidens.

Suip that her fathers Inquiries about her English lover would cer tainly redound to the credit of that scion of a noble house, her spirits were of the gayest, and she was the leader In all the etiioymentB of the hour. Poor Mr. Rrown, who had regulaily laid himself am" all that he possessed at her feet every summer since she was sixteen, was moie infatuated thin ever, and sent to Richmond post haste for two new suits of clothed, although betote her advent he had decided th.lt his wardtobo wis ami le to meet all contingencies Charles Maynard, th" I'ollegian son of the host, fascinated by her wit and bsauty, gravely enn sldend whether "a man might not as well commit himself and be done with It A j ear or two makes veiy little difference,' thought the love-strleken youth, "especially when the man Is mature." In leality he was seventeen and she twenty-one. The week was thawing to a close and preparatlom were In train to end the huccessful festivities with a dance. Thei" was to be a tent on the lawn foi Refreshments1, moorllght, Chlnes" lanterns a Innd fiom town, and all the lest of these delightful Items which make up a summer count! y ball. Louise wns one of a sailing partv on the day befoie tho ball. when. Just as the boat apptoiehed the landing, a low boat glided Into the bushes on a low bank a little wav up the liver, Chaill" Mavnard and Louise paw It at the same Instant. "Who can that be?" said he; "there Is no landing there. Looks as though he weie sneaking." Louise felt hetself bliifh, but every one was ga7lng nt tl.c point where the bovt had disappeaicd and no one no ticed here. In that glimpse she had letopnlzed Hon. Mi. Alnsllc. What could It mean' Whit hid brought him hurc? Her heart beat fast and her liluili gave place to pal lor. Ch.Tlle kept a shai p lookout, but no nioie was seen of the nnsteilous boat man, and though he threatened to ex plore the bank wheie the boat had becn's-ecn, it was so warm and so near lunch time that he gave it up, especial ly as Miss Louise looked pale and re quited his arm to assist her steps to the house. Just heforo dinner one of the maids, with an air of great mysteiy, gave Louise a note. It was, of course, from AInslIo, im ploring her to meet him In the grounds at a certain secluded spot. Purlng the evening Louise thought of her father and her piomUo. No, she would not go; ceitalnly she would not and yet something must have happened. Per haps she might see him for a moment and confess It to her father when she returned home. Sho could not decide, but when the moonlight tempted thu whole party out on the lawn It was an easy thing to slip nwny and bo lost among tho shadows. Alnslle was overpoweied with grati tude at her condescension. He had been leealled to Kngland by urgent telegiams from his father, who feaied that his" son might not arrive In time to see his mother alive He must sail on the steamer leaving Now York the next day but one. Would Louise go with him us his wife, to bo loved and cherlihed as no wife ever wn before? He had perfected every arrangemtn. Ho could not bear to leave her. He wns, he kenw Impulsive and Impatient, but It was his great lovo that moved him. Her father's consent was, he uiged, as good as given. Of course, tho answers to those Inulrles would ar il ve almost as soon as they left New Yoik. He would cable. Thev would wilte an explain, That would be all light. His eatrer woids flowed on like a toirent. He paused, almost out of breath, "Hut why." said Louise, bewildered nnd confused, "why not jvalt to bo married when you come back for me?" Then he was nt her feet. "You cannot understand, my love. You do not know how terrible our part ing would bo to mo. I cannot explain. I have a sort of presentiment to, I cannot bear to leave you. Dearest, can you not trust mc? Believe me, It Is not ns though we had not your father's approval. I would not urge you else. He has consented, on conditions sure to bo fulfilled, only I cannot under tho cltcumstiinces, wait for their fulllll ment." The pay voices and laughter had ceased on tho lawn, and the guests had had nearly all retired to their rooms, when Louise, weary nnd worn from tho conflict of her emotions, piomlscd her lover to take advantage of to morrow's ball to Join him and take the midnight train to New York, there to be married nnd sail Immediately for LI vet pool. He had overwhelmed her with his thanks, nnd sworn In passion ate accents that she should never re gret her promise; but Louise thought of her father, nnd her heart misgave her. Kven when all was arranged and she turned to go, she was tempted to call him back and tell him It could not be. Hut Charlie Maynard came bounding to meet her, full of Inquiries ns to where sho had been and what she had been doing, and so the moment passed. When flhc went to her room she found the lights out, the windows and doots of two large adjoining bedrooms open, nnd tho occupants of the rooms already In their beds. Sho was hailed with a chorus of voices "Oh, Louise, what did become of you? Wo mourned you as lost." "Who was the favoilto swain who took advantage of tho moonlight?" "The unhnppy Mr. Hi own took the census of the party und could not find any one mlsslnw." "And your latent victim, Mr. Hollls, wouldn't sing nn thing but 'Alice, where art thou?" "Charlie came In with mc," said Lou! ic. "Oh, Charlie! Chaillo wsit exploring all the shadows, searching for you. But never mind- she sha'n't tell If she doesn't want to." "The lamp Is on the table If you wish more light than the moon gives," said nnothet; "and, oh, Louise! before you go to bed nib your tace und hands with buttermilk nnd tansy. Aunt Hlsle says It Is n sure cure for tin and sun burn, nnd so she Jived some for us In a bottle on the mantelpiece of your, loom. He sure to ue It Wo have all done so, and veiy nasty It Is, but then wo hope- to look well at thr ball on account of It." "Verv well.'' said Louise, but she pohl very little attention to what wa3 ald. Phe felt dazod, her whole life, her fato depended on tho c"i clslon of tlw next few hours. Whit should she do? Should she leave hoie father without p. word of farewell? Could she let hor lover depart heaitbroken at her defec tion? "Loul"o." called a oIee from tho no.t room, "don't forget the butter milk and tansy. You me as brown as n bun, and a low-necked gown will bring out the sunburn In high lellef. You had better try It." "Where Is It?" asked Lottlso. "I am so tired and sleepy " "Oh! it will not take you n moment to apply It. It Is right there on your mantelpiece In the round bottle." Louise felt for tho bottle, and, pour ing tho liquid Into her palm, rubbed It ever her face, then her hands and wrists. "Thl3 thing has i curious odor," she remarked. "Horrid stuff; It smells abominably, but an Aunt Elslo assured us we would be as fair as Hllen to l.ionow I am enduring the torment," laughed her roommate. Louis? lay down, but her face began to smart and bum Intoloia'oly. She. boip It for some time, then she could etiduie It no longer. Oh Is, ' she said, silting up, "does this stuff hint j ou dreadfully?" "Peifectly lion Id, suur smell, I can't sleep for It," said one. "My face Is so stiff I can hardly speak." said another. "Hut." said Louise, "does It bum and smart .' I cannot stand 11. I must wash It oft " She aioso as she spoke and lit tho lamp. As the light revealed her svvol len and Inilamed countcnanee there was a cltoius of dismay. "Oh! my dear Louise, what have you done to youri elf? What have you put .n vour face'" One of the girls ran to the mantel piece. "C'cpal varnish," die read on tho Inbel. Alas! the buttermilk and tnnsv was not the only bottle on the shelf, and the evclted nnd preoccupied girl had applied a thick coat of varnish to face nnd hands. Mrs. Maynard was summoned, and all that was possible was done for her re lief, but she suffered Intensely. The Triumph ef Love is Happy, Fruitful Marriage.

Whnt would ho think of her? She could not com municate with him. Ho wns so ardent, so eager, what If ho wore driven to some desperate actl The tortured girl moaned with anguish as she lay on her couch In the darkened room. The day parsed nnd tho evening came, with the ball, In full swingr. One and another visited the Invalid with sympathy and condolence, but her an guish wni passed. ltentedlos had allayed her jialn, nnd now she was almost glad that tho de cision was taken out of hor power, and that sho was foiccd, whether or not, to lie still vvhllo the hours went by nnd her Impatient lover waited In vain. She beat d nothing from lilm, but tho thltd day after, when nhe was almost well again, though still dlsflguied by her recent unpleasant experience, Mr. Ashton came. After he had heard the story, or, ns Charlie called It, "the plain, unvar nished tale," and condoled with and pitied the sufferer, Mr. Ashton took his daughter's hand. "My daughter," he said tenderly and earnestly, "wo have much to bo thank ful for. You have escaped making a mistake, to which this is tho merest trifle, not even to be considered." Louise could not speak. "My London correspondent cnbled mo the day after you left home only two woids, "Suspect Impostor.' Yesteulay letters arrived. The Hon. Edwnrd Alnslle Is on his yacht, gone to Norway. No one knows who the man can bo who has chosen to nssimio his name." "Hut, papa, his letteis of Introduc tion," gasped Louise. "Stolen or forged," said Mr. Ashton; "but he Is gone, went to New York night before last. We shall probably never seo or hear of him again." Louise wept and sobbed hysterically until her father was frightened anl hnd to call for her Kind nurse's assis tance, but her teats sprang from very mingled emotions. Shame, legiet and lelief were nil these However, she kept her own counsel, nnd when C1:l.i1Io serenaded her with n banlo and a parody, the refrain of which was "Oh! for tho touch of a varnished hand And the sight of a face that Is swelled," she was able to toward tho musician with heartv laughter nnd applause. No one guessed the leal tate of tho case, -ind It was not until some year after, on the evo of her marrl'ige, that she told hor father nnd her lover how much she owed to her fortunate mis take of copal vamlsh for buUennllTt and tansy. JUSTICE TO JONES. Why Not Give Him Some of the Pialse Going 'Round. While It Is gratifying to note tho whole-souled enthusiasm with which wo as a nation are receiving Admiral Dewey, Is It not a pity that some of the surplus adoration which Is being lavished on that modest naval ofticer could not be thinned out and spread around whcio It would do more good? Kor example, wo tc.ulily attribute to Dewey not only bi .ivory, but all the other virtues on the calendar, yet we are apt to bo slow In seeing mcilt In the characters of the men wo meet eveiy day. To the man we know only through the printed word we give ex travagant praise, to our next door neighbor niggardly recognition or worse. Can wo sing paeans easier than speak kind words. Why not save some of our enthusi asm, which the hero of Manila bay can very well get along without, for John Jones, who needs It? asks the Monon gahela Republican. Hut Jones hasn't smashed any Spanish fleet. No, but ho has trudged steadily along In tho stiaight and natrow path of .good citi zenship for foi ty years and shooed a family of live children along In front of hltn; he has paid his debts and kept out of mischief; he has been kind to his wife and obliging to his neighbors. It would only embarrass Dewey to hear you luiirah for him until you were ho.use. Hut If you should casu ally remark that Jones was a very do cent man nnd a good cltlen and he should hear of It, Jones would feel pleasant for days afterward. Ho v.ild tell his wife about It. and sho would bo proud of him. Jones would think well of ou, too, and nominate you for assessot some day, If he got tho chance. Ho would try harder than ever to live up to what he thought was your Idea of him. And all this could be accomplished without deti acting from Admlial Dewey's glory In the least. AN EPITOME. Our lift!
