Mrs. Alvorrt said "it was a iharoel Mrs. Denton woniiered "he dared to imDose upon people, while a score of mesdames and half a score of Mr. datuea, gratilied at somebody's version of something that did not happen, rolled the tit-bit under and on their tongues with the gusto of gourmands. It all happened in the quiet town of Carlton, where the people mean to be, and are, good and kind, as the world goes; but somehow mistake will occur, and human nature is prone to accept the wrong version of things, and then it is so pleasant to "Put horns on the heads of our friends Put intrigues in the heads of our wives.' "To think," said Mrs. Denton, "that Fannv Howard, theunusrhtcrof aeon victed felon, should come here to teach onr children, and put on such airs 1 I never liked the girl ; J alwajs thought there was something wrong about her. The brand of shame is plainly to be seen behind her smiling face. Mrs. Deutou's ideas of right and wrong hinged entirely upon what Mn. Wiili-ims. Sir, iracv and Mrs. bmith might think, ftiX$ tlmt soc'al conclave bad already conveneu and decided. "As for me." said Mrs. . Sir.itli, "I shell Dever speak to her again; I shall take Benny from school at oucc, and I think we should ignore herentirely." Mrs. Smith was the wife of thut very important functionary, the vil lage justice. The counterpart of her pbelgmatic husband, she was tall aud auctilar, sharp in feature and sharp in toni;ue. Her house in the outskirts of the city was the rendezvous of that female I had almost said feline in quest which seems to pertain to small communtcaties. God in liis goodness had given her one child the afore said Benny as if thereby to soften the axperities of ber uaturo. What she might have been without the gift we can only conjecture. It is there fire impossible to estimate just what part Jieuny bad played in tho aoltcu mg process. Twelve months prior to tho matters related, JtanbT Howard had coaie to the village of Carlton, in answer to an advertisement for a school teacher, bringing letters of recommendation which had secured her the place sought, tor a year fanny had taught the school with much satisfac tion ; her sweet face and gentle ways had won the hearts of the children, while her zeal and conscientious dis charge of duties had won theapproba tion of the parents. As the lastquar ter was drawiog to a closo, a stranger, staying for a night at the inn, bad seen the school mistress on the street, and upon being informed who she was, remarked : "1 thougU I was not mis taken ! 1 have seen her before ; her father is in the State prison at N Upon all the invisible wires of social intercourse the news flewr the very birds of the air seemed to whisper ti ; that concentrated battery ot pent up country life expended its force in cir culating the news. As Fanny passed, inquisitive groups gathered at the street corners; the women watched her from the windows ; the .children, even, silent and shy, seemed to avoid ber. "What can all this mean T" thought Fanny, her eyes filling with unshed tears, and the spectre of pain huuot ing her face. "Ob, that Mrs. Carlton were here ; she would not desert me. Mrs. Carlton was the widow of the late Col. Heory Carlton, after whom tho town had been named. I be Carl ton estate extended lor ten miles in every direction ; its broad acres stretch ed from mountain to mountain, cm bracing the tntire valley; iu flocks and herds led upon a hundred hills. The family mausinn was situated two miles from the town, in the midst of charming grounds, beautifully planted aud laid out. It was a plain, subatan tial, comfortable house, with broad porches, wide hal's and ample rooms, wonderfully suggestive of hospitality, From the first Mrs. Carlton had liked Funny; frequent invitations had been extended for her to pass the week, ly holidays at "The Grange" as the place was called while Harry, the only son and heir, a stout, manly young fellow of twenty-five, helped 'amaziuly to make the hours pans pleasantly: there were walks, aud drives, and dinners, and croquet par ties under the trees, and music und dunciug in the moon-litht. Now a as! Mrs. Car OS and Harry were absent, and our heroine, depressed by the weight of an intangible something wearily bore the burden. It was the last day of the term ; on the following Monday, the tint day of May, was to be held the picnic, ao old couutry iete revived by Col. Car Hon for his people, a be was wont to call them. Delightful grounds in the hills, two miles away, bad bcaa set apart for this purpose; there were groves of trees, plats ef green sward and charm ing bits of scenery ; a mountain stream cmue (ambling down from the hill in Rates of Advertising.

The May day sun broke bright aud clear, as it always did in this Arcadia, tinging t- mountain peaks with crim son and rilling the valley with amber. There was an early and unwonted stir in the village and farm houses ; troop of merry children were congregated in the streets and lanes, bappy as the birds which gave them greeting. Ve hicles of all description were to be seen wending their way to the grounds. ' Table) had been sp-ead, booth con structed, and a Mat-pole garlanded with flowers eroded. There was to be a dinner, a poem, songs and dancing, and some one was to be crowned "Queen of the May." The farmer fur miles around tha country had come with their wives and their little ones; the parson and the deacon, tfce lawyer and the doctor, were there f there was Steve, the black smiiuYiiisiac&i washed clean for the . iKaidn;Brig2f), the landlord of the "Golden Swan, with the proverbial rotundity i.T!iiny, the shoemaker, with his half rfueei children, out at the toes, as usual ; Uncle Rogers, wh.i bad crossed the plains with Col. Carlton in 46, and, as be said, "was raised in the same town and knew all the Colonel's kinsfolks. Uncle Billy's talk always opened or closed with some allusion. to his departed friend. lorn JJrown, the stage driver, had taken a day off to be present. With just the proper amount of dash be drove six horses on the ground, dressed in characteristic garb Mexican mmt brero, immaculate shirt, red sash, high heeled, close fitting boots, drawn over bis pantaloons. Alter a slight excess ' of auxiety in the proper disposition of his team, with the indescribable, tn soHct'ant air of bis calling, he lounged over to where mine host of tbeUolden Swan was standing, gave a scarcely perceptible nod ot recognition to Cd ele Billy and Tony, and remarked, patronizingly : "1 say, iiriggs, what s all this yere talk 'bout tbe scholmarmf I don't see that she's to blame, she seems to be a kind dispositioned critter, and has alius done her work well. As for me, I'm blamed if I don't think she's - got good blood in her thin in the nostril, wide between the eyes, and clean-limbed; you bet your life there's no mustang in her. "Yea, Tom," said Briggs, "but you know women are women, and natural ly hate each other. If tbey catch one of their own sex out alone, without a protector,, they all go for her; and this girl seems to be id that fix just now. "Oh, Tom," with a balf-defined side motion of the bead, at the same time pointing mysteriously to his pocket. As Tom would have said, "A wink to a blind man is sufficient," aud three that is, Briggs, Tom, and the flask went quietly into the shadow of the trees. .. Uncle Billjr1o6kd otieruJously af--ter the departing '-Worthies,' and salt! sadly to Tony : "ThsColonel wouldn't ' a done that' V-v . The servants had erected the Carl, ton tent, but did not know if their mistress would return in time to be present at the festivities. . During the earlier part of the day Fanny sat alone, or wanderod about the grounds, meeting eld looks and averted faces from some; from others -.T that peculiar recognition s 'fraught with meaning. Again aud agaiu she r wished herself far away, and only re- , maiued hoping by chanco to meet Mrs., Carlton. After the ceremonies had concluded, and just as she hud determined to leave the ground a. id cross the fields to ber own home, apparently by acci dent she happened upon Tom Brown. The stage-driver, who had never . spoken to Fauny, touched hi bat a remarkable exhibition of polite nee, for him aud said : "I beg pardon, miss; I'm a plain . man aud can't say what I want to, but '' if you shou d need anybody to speak a word for you, or to take your part, Tom Browu knows how to do it." Fauny comprehended the blunt sin- . cerity of the man, aud as sb thanked bim the tears that had been all day la her eyes dropped upon her cheeks. From that moment Tom was ber ' slave. Ho followed ber at a respect ful and unobserved distance; for her sake be would have charged and rout ed the whole camp. Many a high boru lady has bad a less faithful aud ..... This incident served to lift the load from Fanny's heart. She wandered down by the tiny lake, and for the mo went was happy. Near at hand sev ' eral children were at play, tbeir par euts aud elder ones being elsewhere (H-cupied. Hhe heard a ir)lash,a scream aud av I itlto lie n n v struggling in the water.
