"I Dever had an offer of marriage be- , is a candidate for nominat!ou itefore the Union Re - pueean Couveetton. I fore," she thought, viewing her autmnal nuor:d.tr •, Countenance in, a pier-glass, and adjusting , the little puffs of ribbon in her cap border, "and it does make one feel kind of queer! It's something to tell of anyway. - *Bethuar Jones needn't go to saying note that I was an old maid, because Iliad never had an offer! I just wonder what Arid would say I guess I won't tell' her; she would only laugh at 'me!" Miss„ Experience drew herself up as grimly as if her spinal Column were a bar of iron, that afternoon.:when Bridget an nounced:. "Mr. Grover inenil" "Show him Biddy—l am quite at lei- Sure to receive him." And our hero, entirely innocent of She impending stoma that'awaited him, walked' into Miles Experience's awful presence, with a r, lnnidle of title deeds in his hand,, tied 'with the official looking red tape of his pro-,i l fession; "Good afternoon, Miss Experience !" "flint' you ashamed of yourself, Harry Grover?',ejaculated the spinster, in a deep, stern voice. "Get along with yourself, makin' love to an old woman mor'n twice as old as you be, just because she's got a little:money ! What do you take me for, hey ? Don't stand starin there ! Walk out of this room ' quick, or I'll throw the big dictionary at head ! No, 'co, no! Note have you got .. your answer plain enough ? I wouldn't marry you if there wasn't an other man in the Whole town !" Harry Grover was a little appalled at till's , charge of horse and foot, but he stood his ground manfully, not even quailing at the big dictionary ! Missßrowne—will you hear me a moment ? I don't want you to marry me ! What has put this strange fancy in your head?" "You don't want to marry me 1' Then what the mischief does this letter mean ; I'd like to know." "May I look at it ?" Harry took the letter, and glanced at it— its contents threw a new light upon the un accountable state of affairs. "Good Cupid ! what a blockhead—what unmitigated, inexcusable, incomparable donkey I have been ! What could I have been thinking about ? " • "Hey ?" demanded the puzzled spinster. " Excuse me, ma'am, but there has been a mistake—a----" And - without stopping to complete his fragmentary sentence, he rushed out of the room to the little bay-windowed parlor, where Ariel usually sat. "Well, I never!" exclaimed -Miss Expe rience, as the door banged unceremoniously in her face. ' "Ariel ! Miss Browne !" . But Ariel turned haughtily from the Pleading eyes of her lover. "'Your letter is quite sufficient, sir; I need no further exponent of your mean " Ariel--darling--there has been an ab surd mistake; this is the letter that was in tended for you. The other was written to Sour aunt on business, and by some' unac countable blunder, got into the wrong en velope ! I have been a fool—a blockhead, but I love you, dearest, with all my heart ! Arid ! you will not send me away !" No—Ariel did not send him away, for the shy smiles and the rosy bloom were begin ning to come back to her face as she read the real letter ! • "But Harry !" she said, with a roguish dimple at the corner of her mouth, "you must confess that aunt Experience's note had rather an unpleasant style." "I was a careless reprobate," said Harry, frankly, "but you ,see Judge Connell was watching me, and—" . Ana that was the end of all misunderstand ing between Harry Grover and Ariel Browne, thenceforth, forevermore. Miss Experience was rather disalippinted in two things. She would like to have sold the school house "corner lot," and she would like to have said that once, in the course of her fifty-five years of life, she had bad an offer of marriage. "However," said Miss Experience, "Ariel is very happy, and may be things arc best as they. are ? 12 BY SHIRLEY BROWNE. Eleven o'clock—at least so said the gold en tide of sunshine, creeping over the vel vety turf of the village green, and losing it self in the murmurous . foliage of the big maple trees; and so said the _little clock in Judge •Cornell's lnw office on the Main street, speaking in a sharp, melodious chime. Harry Grover glanced quietly up at the uncompromising little dial, as he entered the domain of "Coke upon I.4ittleton." "I'm late this morning," he muttered, ,hanging up his hat behind the door; "but, as good luck will have it, the Judge has not made his appearance yet!" He was ,a straight, handsome young fel low, with curly brown hair, limped- hazel eyes, and a healthy flush on his sunbroWned cheeks—a young man whom you instinct ively felt you could trust, a /' entrance, as you looked into his frank,. honest face. 'There was not many such; raore's the pity-I "Whew—whew—whew 1" whistled. Mr. Harry Greyer, turning over his pile of legal documents -in a very immethodical sort of way.. "Law and love were never meant to go together ;of thatl am certain. Pretty 'Ariel Brown's blue eyes are shining rogue isly,out at me from every bit of parchment or printed blank I touch. How lovely she looked-last night—and who would ever sup pose that the did cat, with the false curls and grinning porcelain teeth, could be her aunt? Rich, too, they say ; a good match for some desperate fortune hunter, who is willing to swallow the bitter old pill for, the sake of the gold coating. Let me see—talking about old Experience Browne, I believe I have a business letter to write to her about that piece of land by the schoolhouse corners that she wants me to buy. Not I 4 When I purchase land for a building spot, it won't a desolate pasture; where rocks and mullen stocks fighttogether to see which shall possess the staunch soil. The old buly must take me for, a very unsophisticated character indeed. I wonder, now if blue eyed Ariel will ever bia wrinkled catamaran clutching after bargains. Pooh.! I should as soon think of a white plumed little - dove being transformed into a greedy vulture ? " He leaned back in his chair, with both hands clatped on top of, his curly head, and looked out abstractedly into the slushing Tillage street, humming an old tune under his breath—a tune whose burden was "love, still love." Plainly, Mr. Harry Groyer was very little disposed for work that morning. And when, at twelve o'clock, Judge Cornell came in, there was but a hopeless chaos of on papers the table to represent his young partner's matutinal labors. "Why, Grover, you haven't accomplished a thing this morning," said the old Judge, glancing keenly around through his antique silver bound spectacles. "I am- afraid that the pretty girls at 'Squire Dockthorn's party —last night were too nrach - for .your mental equilibrium.';' • _ • "Well, you see, sir, I've been rather sort ing the papers over," said Harry, is little sheepishly, 'and I've written two letters this morning !" "Two letters ?" - "Yes, sir." "May I ask to whom ?" "One was to old 3liss Experience Browne, about that lot she wanted to sell me—a regular clipper, giving the old hag piece of ray . mind—and the other— . "The other—" . "Ahem—that wasn't 'exactly a business letter. Now, Judge, suppose you and I look over the papers together!" The Judge smiled slyly; he tad an idea 'as to what•the other letter contained! Every one in town knew how hopelessly Mr.- Har ry Grover was in love with pretty Arid Browne I Judge Cornell had been young himself not so very many years ago ! "It's just as well for the lad to marry and settle down," thought the old gentlemen, "and -Ariel will certainly make as sweet a little wife as human moral Could wish for!". -.. - Harry needn't have been so mysterious, sealing and directing his two letters at the tall desk behind the office door. Judge Cornell knew just as well what was in them as if he had read every word with his own eyes. But young people have a mistaken idea that old people don't know anything ! - Miss Arid Browne sat in her room, busy with a complicated piece of bright-colored web-work that ladiessall "crochet,?'-, when Bridget tapped saftly'at the panels' or the door. "Please, Miss Ariel, a letter !"- "A letteil and for me! Dear me, Bridget, and who can it be from?" e "Faix, then, and its meself doesn'tknow, but Liwyer Grover's office boy brought it, and an impudent young spalpeen he is, for . But here Bridget became conscious that her young mistress was paying no attention to her, and•withdrew into, her department of the kitchen, there to n uricher griefs in solitude: Ariel's cheek had turned as pink as the inside of a wild rose-bud, as she read the superscription of the letter, and her- heart beat, perhaps a pulse or two faster than was its wont, but she broke open the missive with a resolute hand and 3 ead: • - "3lv DrAn Miss BILONME: ["Rather cold beginning !" she pouted.] I must beg to decline all further negotiations with you., As yoircannot for a moment suppose.l care to possess anything so utterly worn down and good for nothing, it is Aselesslo waste either of our time in any more prelimina- t - Pea- - - - ' will call this- afternebn'and retUrn to you the papers you so unnecessarily took „the trouble to, send me. .
