' Jast out for a little walk, auntie. The day is so delicious," says Letitia, with her mt engsigiog smile. She is think ing what aa awful thing it will be if auntie forbids her to go out to-day of all days, and Jack waiting for ber at the top of the meadow. "Now once fjr all, Letitia, let this be onderstoo-i between tia," says Miss Ban bridge, "there ia to lw no intercoar.-te be tween this bouse and that of the Conrt. You may think I'm too old to hear thing but there yon are w rong. I have heard a good deal lately bbout young Hardicge, who has returned to the Court after his father's doalh ; heard, too, with deep re gret, Letitia, that yoa so tar forgot your self as to dance w ith hiin a fortnight ag at the Jliinwanings's little " "Hop," 8Ug2td Letitia, who is too frightened by her aunt's allusion to th young mc-ter cf the Court to remember her society manners. "Hop! How dare you nae euch a word?" exits M!s Eacbridge. "Good heavens! Now, Letitia, hear me. It seems you did dance with this objection- le young man at the Mainwarings's baU. Perhajs yoa could not help that. But knowing as yoa do of the feud that had lasted for fifty years between their house and ours, I tru-t you have too mtich respect for me for yonr name to recognize a Ilardinge anywhere." "But what has he er " nervous1 y, what have they ail done 7" ask Letitia, ber eyes on the marble pavement of the hall, her he&it at the top of the meadow. Good gracious! If auntie only knew that she hal beea meeting Jasw. every day for the past fortnight ever sinca that long dance, indeed, when well, be wouldn't dance with any one but her. And it is all snch nonsense, too. A rub biihy old ftory about a right of way that happened fifty years ago and Jack the dearest f How ! ' I refuse to go into it," sys Mias Ban- bridge w ith dignity. " It suffice to Bay that this yoccg man's grandfather once behaved in the grossest fashion to your grandfather my," with a sigh, "sainted father. If you are going out, I trust tuat if you meet the present owner of the Court, you will not so much as acknowl e ige his presence." "I shan't bow to Lim, auntie," says Lc-titu, ia a very small voice. Detestation of herself and her duplicity isslill raging in her heart when she meets Jack Hardinge in the old trysting-place. She had certainly promised her aunt not to bow to him. H ell, she doean t - she only flings herself into his arms glad young arms, that close fondly around htr. "Oh, Jack, she's getting worse than ever, bhe was simp.y raging atxmi yoa as I came out. I really thought she was goitg lo forbid me to come at alb She says you're an objfctionab'.e young Tan !" "Oh! I say," cries Hardinge, "what have I done to be called names like that T 'Nothing, nothing!" cried Letitia, flinging her arms about in desp tiring pro test, "except that yoar grandfather once poached my grandfather's no3e." "Well, I'm awfuily sorry," says Har dicge, and they both laughed. "Would it do any good, do you think, if I were to go down aad apo'ogize for my exceeding ly rude old forbear?" "I shouldn't advise yoa to try it," says Letitia. "Bat what are we to do, then?" says Jack, bis arm around ber. They are sitting on the grass, safely hi Iden behind a clump of young trees. Toe sun is shining madly on their heads, the birds are singing on every branch. It is May delightful May, the lover's a.oatli and the hottest May that has been known for years. "I don't know," says Letitia, with deep decpondence. "It's such beat'y folly," says Hardinge presently, in an impatient tone. "If I were a fool, or a poor man or a reprobate ; but I'm not am I now 7" "Oh, no!" says Letitia. She creeps closer to him and encircles hii waist with her arm ; or, at all events, tries bravely to do so. It doesn't go half way aroa&d, but that doesn't matter. She grasps a bit of bis coat and holds on to him so. "D i yoa know what yoa are. Jack 7 The dearest old boy on earth." "And yoa do yoa know what yoa are?" says Hirdinge, pressing her fin gers to bis lips. , "No," Bays she. "Well, I caa't tell yoa," ssys be, "be cause there is nothing on earth fit to com pare yoa with. You are yoa, and that's all" "What a lovely speech ! No wonder I love yoa," says L?tiii naively ; "but," collapsing into gloom, "what" the good of it all 7 Auntie will never let yoa mar ry me." "We could marry without ber permis sion," says be, slowly. "No, we couldn't," says Letitia, with decision. She looks at him earnestly. "I wouldn't marry yoa without her per mission for anything. We would have to ran away and that would break ber heart Iam all she has in the world, i and though sbe scold me a good deal I ' set ESTAJBLISTTKD 1827. WEDNESDAY, MARCH 22, 1893. love ber. I wouldn't desert her, Jack." "Yoa coald come back again," says Jack. "Of coarse, I know that. But then she weald always feel disappointed ia me and burl and No, no, I aha!l never do that." "Then I don't know what's going to be the end of it," says be. "We mast only wait," says Letitia, de- spondingly. "And now, Jack, you here presently to tee how the men are gettiag on with that fence. Yoa know what sn excellent woman of business 6he is. If she caaght yoa here " "There would be wig on the green,' ssys Jack laoghicg. "Well, good-bye for awhile. I suppose if I come hack again this evening I shall find yoa here 7" "Yes oh yes! Jack do take care; the men will se yoa !" "Not they," ssys Jack, kissing her agaia. "And you what are yoa going to do while I'm away ?" "Thick of you," with a little saacy glance at him from under her long lash es. By the bye, have yoa got a match about your "What on earth do yoa want itfjr?" says be, giving her some wax lights oat of a little silver box, as he speaks. "Go ing to havo aci-rarette?" "Nonsense! I feel as if I want to set fire to some of those dry little bunches of grass; fairy tufts, we used toca'l them long ago. They would barn beautifally bo-day, the sun is eo hot." "Well, don't set fire to yourself, what ever yoa do," 6ays, be, thoughtlessly. Once again they kiss and this time real ly part. Letitia stands watching hitn till he is out of sight, standing oa tiptoe as he gets over the wall to blow a Lnt kiss to him. Then coming out from the shelter of her trysting p ace she wales into the old meadow, now beaten down save where the tall, coarse t-ofts of gra-H are growing. Lighting one of her matches she kneels down aai sets fire Xn the tuft nearwt her It used to be an amusement of hers ia her childhood and she is not yet so far removed from thoee djys as to have lost all childieh fancies. .Sitting down on the side of a tiny hillock at a distance she watches the dancing fLimes so small, so flickering, so haxmless. She leans back against the bank be hind her and crosses her hite arms be hind her bead. What a day it is ! most heavenly sweet quite a drowsy day. How lovely that light smoke is climbing slowly up hill and fading aiay among the young beech trees above. And the little flames like fairies dancing. Perhaps they are fairies who dwell in thoso oil dry tufus. No won ler they are dancing with rage, evidently. Their strongholds are seted destroyed, by the tyrant a.an ! No wo man this time. Ab, ah! In this case woman has come to the front at all events. She had been rea ling about the emancipation of woman last night, and had laughed over it After all. she dida't want to be emancipated ; she only want ed Jack to love ber always nothing more. Ferhaps the other queer women only meant that too, only they hadn't found their Jacks yet. How warm it is ! Gradually her head sinks back upon her arms, her eyelids droop over tbe soft, clear eyes. How delicious it is here! Howcory! Again the eyes open, bat very lazily this time, Pee how the little insects ran to and fro over her white frock, hither and thither, all in search of the great want food. A passing thought makes her laugh indolently. She hopes they will not make food of ber. And then the eyelids close rssJutely; she leans back. Sleep has caught ber. So sound, indeed, is her slumber that she does not know that now the little black insects are rushing over ber, not in search of food, bat of safety safety from tne tiny hot flames that are creep ing every moment closer to the thin white frock. Now they have touched her font, and have so far penetrated the thin slip per as to make ber unpleasantly warm, but not enough to waken her. She only turns a little and sighs but now ! Now she springs to her feet with an affrighted scream ! Smoke! Smoke everywhere! And what is this creeping op the front of her gown 7 A thread of fire. It blowj npon ber face. She recoils from it, bat it fol lows ber. Madly she lifts her hand and tries to beat it back. The mn ! the men at the fence! Where are they! Alas! they have all gone to dinner. Ouce again a frantic cry bursts from ber lips. It is answered. At this moment Hir dinge reaches iter, aad flinging off his cost he catches her in it. Folding it around her, he holds her as if in a vice. What brought him back (beyond the mercy of God J he never knew, except that thobe last words of his, "Don't set fire to yourself, at all events," hal seem ed to haunt hitn after hs left her. A foolish fear about the word hal touched bis lover's heart and compelled him to mount a wall and look back. Is a mo ment he bad seen. He qiencbed the flames in a ruiracu-loa-cy short time. L?tilii is able to stand ap and answer faintly bis passionate questions as to her safety, when sudden ly a voice strikes apoa them that renders both dumb. It is the voice of Miss Banbridge. She has been toiling ap the hilL She looks almost distraught. "Ob, sir," cries she, catching Letitia in her arms. "I saw all, I thought I should have died. Oh, my girl! my darling child !" (She spends ber whole life tor menting Letitia, bat Letitia for that is th9 apple of her eye). "Oh, sir, bow can I thank yoa? The gratitude of my life is yoars the preserver of my pretty child." Then tbe old lady bursts oat crying. Half as hour ago she would have died rather than tell Letitia she was pretty, bat cow she lays many cdrnegs at ber feet. Poor feet. Tbty might have been bomed. "If yoa will add one more service to the immeasurable one yoa have already done me," says she softly, "yoa will help me to get my poor chil 1 back to the house." "But," begins Hardinge. It seems wrong to him, even at this supreme mo ment, t deceive the old lady to go into her bouse ttnder false pretenses! If she knew his name! A little pr-ssare from tbe band of LetitU decides bim. How can be have scruples when she Is so ill so frightened ? Silently he passes his arm around her and with her aaat takes her back to the Louse. They lay ber on a sofa. Miss Banbridge flings a rug over ber burnt dress. "She mast rest here a little before g jing up stair," says she. "Mias Banbridge," says the yoang man, cow turning with determination toward her. "I I wish to say " "Sir, it is what I have to say," esys Miss Banbridge with emotion. "I have not half thauked yoa. How can I? If there is anything lean do any way in which I can show my gratitude to you pray, name it. In the meantime tell me the name of the brave young man who has delivered my niece from the very jaws of death." . "HardiDge," says he, shortly. "What!" Miss Banbridge has fallen back in her chair, staring at him with wild eyes. "Yes, Hardinge," says the young man, steadily, if sorrowfully. He pauses. "Af.er all," says he, "I can't help my name." There is a pause; Letitia draws ber breath sharply. "That is true!" 6ays Miss Banbridge at last, in a severe un dertone. "I can't help having bad a grandfath er, either," says Hardicge taking another step. "No; I s-.jppo3e not," most reluctantly. "Most fellows have grandfathers !" "I cannot contradict you, sir." "Miss Banbridge," says Hardinge, go ing closer to her, and gazing at her with alibis heart in his eyes, "yoa ask n:e just now if there was any way in which yoa coald show your gratitude to me ! about alwet this thing. I want no grat itude, I would have gladly died t save your niece a pang, lijt you have given me the opportunity to tell yoa that I want her! 1 love ber. She loves me. Give her to me," "Ifctitia!" says Miss Bar-bridge, in a strange voice. "Oh, yes It is true," says Letitia, bursting into tears. "I do love him. I loved him that night at the Mainwar ings and I Lave loved him better aad better every day since. He," her sobs increasing, "he used to come and see me in the meadows where where I was nearly burned !" Whether this allusion to the late ca tastrophe, that might have ended in a tragedy, stiils Miss Baab.-idge's w rath, or whether her old heart had been softened by Uardmge's frank acknowledgement of bis love for her niece, no one can teil- ;he turns to Hardinge with a pale face b it not wholely unkindly air. "I tuuA have tisoe to think," says she. She hesitates and then says : "This is very painful to me, Mr. Hardinge." It s;emed certainly painfal to ber to pro nounce liis name the &axa so long tab wed in her household. "I must Lave time time." She grows silent. The hearts of the lovers sink. Suddenly she looks up again. "Perhaps yoa wiii do me the honor to dine with me to-morrow 7" says she. Her tone is icy, but the two lovers fi?el their cause is won. To ak Mr. Harding to dine! Oh, surely the old feud is at an end. A little sound escapes from Letitia. "Yoa are coll," says Miss Banbridj.'e anxiously, who bad thought the sound a shiver. "A little," says Letitia, who, indeed, is s'aivering from her late fear of what her aact might say. "I shall fetch another rag," cried the old lady, ruaning out of the room. "An opportunity once lost is never to be regained," says the ancient copy books. Hardinge and I-ctitia makeup their ndiids not to loe theirs. Ha arms are around her in an ic-tant, her cheek pressed against Lis. "it is ail right. She will give in. I feel as if I i oved her," says Jack. "Oh ! Jack, says Letitia, "wasn't a good thing I was nearly burned to death 7" "Oh ! bosh, darling bush, Leity! I can't bear to think of this day." -I caa," says she, Laughing feebly. "I shall think of it always, to each other forever.1 It has given us ' I'liU.ibij.Uia Cholerine In Pennsylvania.

It cured me in three days. I am all right to-day ; and would insist on every one who is ail! let ed with that terrible disease to use Chamberlain's Pain Balm and get well at once. 30 cent bot tles for sale by J. X.

"Mother wants a pound of dried cur rants," said a little girl who came into the learned grocer's store on Eighth ave nue. "I hain't got a dried currant in the store, and there baia't one in the city," replied the grocer. "But.I know what yoa want, and I've got 'em." The learned grocer brought forth a box of the little sticky, sugary, dried fruit, popularly known as dried currants, and used in fruit cake, pium paddings, mini pies, buns and tbe like. "Why, them's 'eta!" said the little girl. "Yes, them's 'em," assented the gro cer : "and if tbe Grecian maiden who trod this particular lot of fruit into the package had used a little water on her feet before she began, there wouldn't l-e so much saud and grit ia "em as there is. She must have been having a regular hoe down on the classic sands before she began to dance on this box of fruit. Taere, sissy, tell your mother she must bathe 'em La several waters before siie used 'em, or she might just as well put a lot ofsanJpaper in berfru.t cake. And tc-Il ber they ain't dried currants, ei ther." "What's the reajoa they aia't dried currants 7" asked a disputative costomer. "They ain't dried currants any more than they're dried pumpkins!" replied the grocer. " The rea.n they aia't dried curraata is that they weren't currants be fore they were dried. That's reason enocgb, ain't it? "Yes," said the customc, less dispuU tive. "Bat what doc everybody call 'em dried currants for?" " 'Caaje they doa'i know any better !" replied the grocer. "They'll go right on coming in here and asking for dried cui- rants just the same, after I tell 'eui why they ain't dried currants, as they did be fore"." "What should they ask for, then?" in quired the ta-stomer. " If acy man should ever com in here and ask for dried cuiinths," said the gro cer, "he would not necessarily ba a gen tleman, but I'd bet on him for being a scholar. Dried curinlhs is what you should avk for when you want this little sugar coated, gritty raisin, for it's a rais in, pure and ?:mple." "How's that?" the customer wanted lo know.

"What are corinths, anyhow ?" "A corinth is the smallest grape that g'roa s," rvpiiel the grocer, ' and it lost its name years and years ago b. -cause it was gradually corrupted into currant, which became the came of the acidula ted lif.le berry of our garden, which yoa might dry from now until Gabriel sounds his horn without getting it any nearer the eon liaoa of a raisin than a pea is.
