A STKKKT KIXWKK BY RELECt'A HARlUSli KAYIS. My herein is one of a very coiu- mou type. I ..' I'ope, at Uttten, 'did notiiJVra whit from tens of : thousands of other American girls of that age; but they, in their turn, are like girls of liUeen in no nation on the globe. Leslie had delicate i patrician features, an inexplicable lair of high breeding, clear, dark jeyes that looked out en th wurld I with calm self posstsion, a disconl ant, incisive voice, and an acute, im itative intellect. She iounil use for tiiis laht at, a very earlv age. Mrs. Goodwin de C . Pope, her mother, was the "superior woman of Clapp City, an inland town. Need I describe her? She wan im posing in her dress, hr house, her speech. Shu could not draw on her glove, nor bid you good morning without showing you that she was not as other women are. She va voluable and fluent, but uncompro misingly grammatical. She cave receptions: she inaugurated the Musical Club t;f Clapp City. She insisted that it was a woman's duty to keep herself n'oreuht of the age in which she lived. Hence fciie fed herseil mentally, by turns, Willi Canon Farrer and Ingersoll and Zohi and fori Uavigera and toionei Waring on Drainage. Ot course she proposed to give Lesley's mind a collegiate training. She hd countless anxietifs ahwut Lesley's mind. The child was set on her own feet at four, to think for herself. " L'ven the infant," said Mrs. Pope, "should Lot be a mere absorbent plaut, but leel itself in its degree, an active, live member of the universe." Leslie at ten, therefore, was ne longer a pupil, but the critic ot her mother and the people about her, and as acerb and intolerant acritic as votith is apt to be. She was absolutely certain that the opinions she had inherited or learned at tne Clapp City Academy goverued the world. As for social position the family of! , , - , . T L ; i ,,. ticA er in lenthpr in her iuiikI out-I ranked philosophers, poets, princi-1 palities and powers Mrs. I ope took care that Lesley s marks were above the average in her classes, and that she had effi cient dressmakers and masters. There she stopped. As a mother she was responsible for her child's mathematics, Latin, gowns and 1 ar- lsian accent, but for the mysteries of life, love, marriage, maternity and religion she was left to l'uid that all out for herself. She did find it out. She was a girl, bv na ture, of pure instincts, in which she had the advantage uf many of her i schoolmates. At eight she began to i read the books of a popular writer: for children, in which the love a!- : lairs ol hoys in knickerbockers and girls with dolis, are conducted to happy marriages. At ten, any story but that ef love was insipid and tasteless; she pined for a lover of her own ; the passions and longings which belong to maturity already stirred in her little breast. At elev en she had a flirtation with a hand some messenger boy. who left hie er- ands waiting while he escorted her to school. Mrs. Pope "did not believe in chaperoning a young girl through the strtets and in the cars." It was I a servile imitation ef French man- j nprs. She hud much tosav of tiie ; innate Duritv of American girls. " i of the "boldness of absolute mno-1 , . , , , , i cence. tier daugnier enouia oeno " hot-house flower." She care her, therefore, the streets to bloom in.

She had her, and she entertained five or six i read of women who hsid lived vaga beardless students, clerks and shop bondish lives with men they slaved Dove, who orougni incir iricneis ana their friend' friends to the house, without consulting her or her moth er. Her teachers were only making of her a poor mathematician and a poorer linguist, w hile these men and beys were making of her the wo man, wife and mother she was to be. It was when she wis sixteen that Leslie became engaged. She was late. Ment of her school-fellows had been in this ecstatic condition half a dozen times. Her engagement had lasted three months, when Mr. Lippard, the fiancee, suddenly dis appeared, and a few weeks later j r - . . . wrote her Irom St. lxuis 9 tragic 1 letter that he was " driven from her by crooel serkumstances " and "was a lonely creature scrooged by desti-1 ny." The fact was, Mr. Lippard was in debt to every hotel keeper and rum seller in Clapp City. He! was now second clerk on a river ! steamboat, and passed his time tip- j lino- n avirc notsr. flnri flirtine and hirtin ri , , , .. . , , , , . , , . with affable ladv passengers.

Pope cried out for "in telligence th:it would satisfy her heart about her darling child," he replied that " Davidge was a very quiet, gentle sort of fellow, and there could be no doubt he had won Lesley's first love." Neither Mr. Pope nor his wife knew of the Lip pa rd alfair. Mr. and Mrs. Davidge began their married life in a fashionable quarter of Philadelphia. Allan Davidge had furnished it in reference to but one idea his wife. He turned his back on upholsterers and scoffed at the latest esthetic styles.

His face was bloated with drink, his linen was ragged and dirty. She pulled the check line. "That gentleman wishes us to stop," she said to the footman, when he presented himself at the window.

She rang for her bonnet, put it on, and swept Lesley back into her carriage with the quiet authority she used to her children.

He stopped there. To men like Allan thought comes like intuition in the supreme cri-es of life. Something told him that the mystery of their married life was to be cleared now.
