rubbers in the hall; tho drops were
slashing down on the window. I.ctty
bit tlie end of her music-roll in con
sternation, bho had ou a new drcssj
and new drcssi wero not a common oc
currence with her. She was wondering
w hether she might not wait in a corner
of the m ha'l till the ruin slackened,
when somebody cams bounding down
the j'aiis'thi ec sfcpf at a time It was a
geuuit faced yoTing man, iu bat aud over- j
coat, and with an umbtcila.
J.etty's fair chock pin ncd. This
was liaymond Gibson, fkuexv. She j
had seen hit often enougfTon tho street,
und at church, wh'Te- be sat in a 4eutral
front pew, with his di"nilled purcnts,
and hisliitle, )lush-cloniirl,be-ribboncd 1
sister; and where Le'.ty s sometime' i
substituted for the organist, who had a I
habit of taking a rest when he felt liko
it. She had heard Alias Taylor, to whom i
she gave lessons, talk about him to her I
bosom friend, detailing his good looks, !
tlie am Hint of his father's fortune and
hi geno.al perfections, and declaring,
thnt ho was by fur tho most desirable
' catch" in town. And Lctty bad come j
to have a certain timid consciousness
concerning him, because he ulways 1
looked at her so steadily when he met
her, not td sny stared. She b;oked up
at him now iu tremulous shyness.
"Uh, I'm so glad!" cried young Sir.
Gibson, breathlessly. "I was afraid
you'd bo gone, Miss Whittakcr. You !
let ino take you home, won't you ? It '
raining bard, and you haven't an urn- j
biella. I've been in tho librarv, listen
ing iu jour piajiiig, ami i cun t say liow
much I've enjoyed it, Miss Whillnk.
I'm suro Genevieve is awfully luck" to
get you."
They were going down the Iront steps,
lie had her music roll, aaul hud olleied
his arm, and was holding his umbrella
so far over her that his silk hat was get
ting rained on.
"I'ye eiijoyednouir playiug in church
so much, Miss Whittakcr!" ho went ou,
eagerly. "I with Peterson woid s'ay
away all the time."
"ih," I.etty protested, with her eye,
on the wet street, Tui a very poor sub
stitute, Mr. Gibson!"
"Indeed you're not!" aaid the young
man, earnestly, "I prefer your intcipru
tatious, really your touch, your expres
sion, everything. I'm always (Might ed
when Peterson's awav. How muddy
it's getting ! Pet's cross the street, Miss
Whittaker."
They met Sadie Merritt ns they crossed
it. Sadie was in the Gibson ' set, ' aud
she gave tho little music teacher aud her
i scoria stare of ainaemeut.
I.etty felt somewhat frighted us they
walked on; but Mr. Gibson seemed to
gain enthusiasm. ..
"Do you like music teaching?" he said,
helping her across a puddle. "I suppose
it's a bore?"
'I do get tired sometimes,' I.etty ad
mitted. "But I like it, I've a nice
class."
"All aires, I suppose?' said Mr. Gil
son.
Oh, yes I from six to twenty. From
tho first lesson in tho Instruction book
up to Chopin," Petty rejoined.
"loutake beginners then! "
"Yes."
The Wilcox carrintrowas annroachinfr.
and the Wilcoxes were particular friends
of tho Gibsons. Petty was glad the cor
ner of tho street was so near.
"I have always liked muBic," said Mr.
Gibson, hesitntingly. "I I suppose I'm
rather old to learn, but could you take
another pupil?"
Ho stammered, over the fnquiry, and
Lctty looked bewildered.
"Another ivunil?" she echoed.
should liko awfully to learn, you
knowl" said Mr. Gibson, eagerly. "And
it shan't be any trouble to you. I'll come
to the hou-o. Y'ou do take pupils at the
hourc, don't you? J. should like it im
mensely !'
Petty was dumb with astonishment.
A music pupil? (Mr. Gibion?) What
an inorediblo idea! And yet, she was
not displeased at the prospect.
They had reached her modest little
gate, and she looked up with a timorous
smile.
"Why, certainly, Mr. Gibson, if you
wish," she murmured.
"I crtaiuly do wish," he responded,
emphatically ; and he looked highly de
lighted. And when he turned awayrom the
door, five m'.nutcs after, the date aud
hour of his first lesson had been ar
ranged, nnd bo had forced upon his
teacher his first term's tuition.
Petty gave her mother a slight sketc h
of that liTst term, at lis close. She had
gradually recovered from her amazement
ut tlu; acquirement of her latest pupil,
and had given herself to his instruction
with all her usual interest and energy.
If the interest was greater in this case
than in the case of Juliana Gray or little
Tommy Duckcr, for example, Lctty was
innocently unaware of it.
"llu's very briffht. really, marovrin."
sho declared. 'V.fSourso it seemed
funny to havo to teach him the very
rudiments. Why, he had to begin with
the stall, nnd lcsrn the names of the
lines and spaces, just as my youngest
si-hojars do. It was nil I could do to
keep from laughing, the lirst lesson. But
bo learns so easily. Ho really has good
technic, and I can see he's going to have
lots of feeling for music. He's got along
real well. I know he must pr.icti e aw
fully hard. He can play a little piece
with both bands already, and ho says
he'll play it at the rehearsal Thursday
afternoon. I told hiiu h : needn't' if be
didn't want to. Y'ou know all my class
are going to play, and I'm afraid they'll
laugh, it's so funny to fee him playing
it. Put he says he'd just as lief as not.
tlf course I'll explain that bo hasul
taken lessons long."
Mr. Gibson came next day for his les
son; he took two a week. Ho. playcil
his scales through carefully, and then
executed his ' piece" with laborious
1 aius, but with great success.
. Petty was delighted.
"If you do us well as that at tho re
hearsal !''she said, with a pretty enthusi
asm which glued her pupil s eyes to her
face. ".Miss Taylor has offered tliffir
parlor, you know, and I'm so glad, be
cause if all the parentsMtnd friends come
there'll hardly be room enough here.'
"Mi-s Taylor l" Mr. Gibson repeated,
somewhat blankly, it stnrck his teacher.
But ho went ou talking .of something
else, and talked fea till the striking of
the clock made laffu jumftip.
lie had fallen into th'; habit of staying
after his lesson was over to talk; so that
aftei twenty lessons it was not strange
that they felt tolerably well acquainted.
And I.etty bud confided to hersejf more
than once that Mrson wus "uncom
monly" enteilainiiig und nice.
The rehearsal passed off with nil pos
sible smoothness; but Mr. Gibson was
not there. I.etty had received a nohe
from him at tho last minute, stating his
unavoidable detention.
A bunch of rloweis had accompanied
it, and a wjiite rose shown in Petty 's soft
hair at thirreception.
Pittle Genevieve came and played suc
cessfully. Mrs. Gibson came with her,
aud sho smiled blaudly on Petty,
aud complimented her ou Genevieve's
progress. She did not mention her sou,
und Petty went homo vaguely wonder
ing. .

and nlf this grandeur seemed to thrust j
her so hopelessly faraway irom him. Not 1
that she hail that thought distinctly iu

uoineuus foolishly impressionable and
ronmutic. But she was dimly unhappy.
It was due to this mood, doubtless.
tlaut she forgot hit muff, nnd went three
blocks 011 her way home without it.
She saw young Mr Gibson run up tho
steps as shAurued back, ond sho walked
slowly ht to avoid him.
His liaW.is 011 a peg when she was ad
mitted to tin hull, i.etty looked at it
wistfully. It looked wotully different, i
hanging on a mahogany bal-iack with a j
long mirror, und lying iuformnlly on her
ii;.no top at home.
". The uoies of the Gibson piano were
sounding, ami Letty listened wonder
ingly. She recognized tho moonlight ;
scna'a, brilliantly and charmingly ex
executed. Who was it? Mrs. ibson, possibly;
but Petty had h.ad tho impression that
Mrs. Gihson didu'i play.
Slio listened with quickly appreciative
admiration, and with some longing, be
cause she felt certain that that was better
thnn she could have dona.
She went on into tlu music-room, iu
eager curiosity.
Her mull lay on the chair where sho
had left it; but Petty did not take it.
Sho stoodaquite 1- til I in the doorway,

played.
His music-teacher had stood In the
doorway some threo minutes before ho
became aware of her presence. Then
there was a crashing of the keys.
"Miss hittakcr!" gasped her pupil.
Petty only gazed nt him. Sho was
quite stunned.
Mr. Gibson sprnng to bis feet.
"Don't look like that 1" he entreated,
rushing toward h'.T. "Don't Miss Whit
takcr!" '
But Petty shrank back, her eyes fixed
upon him in solemnity nnd sternness.
"What what docs this mean, Mr.
Gibson?" sho said, whir an austerity
which was marred by her faltering voice.
Mr. Gibson pulled her gently inside,
and shut the door.
"I know you'll forgive mc!" h'f im
p'otcd. Petty looked nt him with reddening
cheeks, and then burst into tears. '
"What did you do it fori" she sobbed.
"What fort" her pupil repented, stand
ing very lo-o to her and getting posses
sion of one of Jicr bands. "Don't you
know, Miss Whittaker Petty? I've
wanted to know you so for years ever
since I first saw you. And I'd begun to
think I never should be nblo to manage
it. I used to lie awake nights worrying
over it. And walking home with you

why I didn't go to the rehearsal the

lie did his best to stifle a laugh; but
his teacher was laughing, too, through
her tears. Tho vision of her tall pupil,
laboring through "Pittlo Katy'g First
Waltz," overcame her.
"You ought to be nslnmed of your
self!" Bhe cried, laughing and crying to
gether, somewhat hysteric illy
"I am I am!" said Raymond. "I'm
ashamed ; but I am not sorry. Why, I
might not have known you yet if I
hadn't"
Then he paused, palpitatingly.
"What duets we'll have when we're
married, dear!" he said, softly.
"What will your mother sayi" said
Letty, gasping with bewildered .,oy.
";ayf She'll say I've got the sweet

rough shanty in tho woods, wheio it was

Instead of injuring the tree by chop

EUGENIE AS AN EMPRESS.
A PIFE OF LUXURY THAT WAS
MONOTONOUS AND WEARISOME.
The Whimsical ami l"iisailractory
I-'.fl'orM to While Away the Prem-y
Hours Km cava Knot Drcsslnd-
The life of tho Empress Eugenie, of
France, soon bet nine utterly monotonous
and wearisome. She rose at about 1:H0,
and took the late breakfast replacing the
lunch in France, with tho ilmicror
alone, at 11:30. At 2 her ladies came.
In Pans they slept at their own homes,
but in tho country residences they had
their stated turns of waiting, and dur
ing that time lived at tlie palaces.
Among her Indies, of course, some were
more agreeable to her than others; but
she must accept the inexorable turn of
precedence, aud could not choose ner
companions.
l ay after day she drove out witn uic
lady whose privilege entitled her to a
seat in the imperial carriage; day after
dav sho went to the Bois lie Boulogne,
and bowed incessantly to the crowd ; day
after d iy sho returned just iu time to
dress for dinner; nnd then onme the
wcarjcvening, where nobody bad any
thing to say, if they had dared to say it.
No ono could sit down till sho gave the
gracious permission ; but this she dici 111-
varilily in the case of ladies. iter rcany
good nature would have willingly ex
tended the privilege to the gen
tleman in waiting, but this was contrary
to rules and must not be. So the ladies
sat in a circle and the gentlemen "stood
nt case," tired out before tlie closo of tlie
evening. When her Majesty retired
scarcely hud the last fold of her skirt
passed the door before nil tho weary at
tendants threw themselves ou tho sofas.
The presence of majesty necessarily pre
vented conversation ; every one nwaitcd
the pleasure of the sovereigns. The Em
peror spoke very little, and in a soft,
languid voice; the Empress, feeling that
tlie general chill would be unbearable if
sVdid not take the lead, chatted iuces
siEtly with a sort of feverish vivacity.
IIBL voice did not seem to belong to that
8Wl f'icc 't wns ,no Spanish voice,
guMral aud harsh. Sho spoke French
with perfect fluency, but with a decided
foreign accent.
The wearine-s of thoso evenings be
came so unendurable thatn-T kinds of ex
periments were trie ! to vary their mon
otony. One night the tmpicss suddenly
toojt a fancy to make artificial flowers,
und a chamberlain was immediately dis
patched, nt ninco'clock in the evening, to
procure the neccssarv material. Another
time one who possessed the most beauti
ful specimens of ceramic art that France
ould afford, was sci.ed with a violent

Some proposed "Jnno Eyre," the well
knowu novel. The Empress ujs amused,
but tho Emperor utterly weaned. Then
they tried "Joscphus" and the "Wars of
the Jews." Heie tho Emperor was in
tensely interested, bht tho Empress
yawned, and tlii afVMnpt was given up.
The Emperor was in geueral mure popu
lar iu lho Imperial household than the
Empress; his languid gentleness was iu
nobody's way, b t tlie Empress was often
irritable ami capacious. She was cer
tainly intelligent, but her education h id
been neglected, uud sho cared lor no in
tellectual cmpli ymcut oraTtistic occupa
tion. She hated music ; she had no ta te
for the fine nts. Even a well-written
play nt the Tlieatru, Fraucuis tlid not
amuse her. Sho wOlihT IirvvOiJllied. tliu
sma 1 theatres anything, in short, that
could make her laugh; but this undigni
fied kind of pleasure could not bo en
joyed. Her life had been one of constant
amusement the empty o.istence of
watering places and now s'.io was, in
fact, a prisoner. Sho gave state bnlls,
but they we e filled w ith such a motley
crowd that sho could only dance the open
jug'' qnadrillo jmd walk through ' the
room siV l Tf "V "
Then she give select private ba Is, but
the absence of tho Fiench aristocracy
obliged her to invite a large proportion
of. wealthy foreigne.s Itussinns, Will
hu hians, and n so Americans. These were
unknown iu French society, and splen
dor of dress seemed tho only means of
bi'ing remarked. To attain lies ond no
extravagance seemed too exces-ive, and
tho Empress was blamed as having origi
nated the loe of dress, which spread in
ull classes and became a complete mania.

For a soliil, square meal
You are truly the king.
You make us unbutton
Our vests every time
And fill us with huge
Satisfaction sublime.

Who dwell hrthe tints
Who, thinking about you,
Get hungry as rats
And can't, for thy fragrance.
Which heaven doth seek,
Enjoy you but only
