NY EBTELLA DU NORD A riling girl was tying up the rose bushes that twined around the porch of a fine old farm house. So much absorbed was she in her congenial task that she did not notice the gen tleman coming up the broad walk towards her: She was not a beauty, this little girl whom we propose to make our heroine : her figure wus too short and chunky, her features too irregular and her mouth a trifle too large to be In strict accordance with the rules of beauty, but the pink and white complexion and the deep, win) , brown eyes were perfect in their way ; and the mouth had a pleasant trick of smiling that made amends tor its size. On the whole she was just such a sweet,cheer ful comfortable girl its you would never tire of having around, not even in a lifetime. Her dress of pale pink lawn, the loose sleeves EAlin away tram her dimpled arms, and edged at the throat whit a delecate lace ruffle, wa, sit perfectly becoming that it seemed a part of hetself. That was Georgia Wayne, the mistress of the old homestead, and the young man coming towards her, with such au eager, delighted look on his handsome face, wits Hurry Holbrook, the nephew of her step father and Hiss Georgie's abject slave ever since he came among them a miserabi object in roundabouts. He approached noiselessly front behind and pinioned both the restless little hands in his before she was aware of his presence. "So you have come back, little queen roses," he said gaily, "and it was high time too; I should have moo for you In a day ,)r I= "Conic for me, why I' Of course I knew you and papa would be glad to have me back, but I did not flatter myself that you would miss me that much. You have been well all along ?" "Oh yes, but to he left to the mercies of Letty tor three mortal weeks, and compelled to eat her admirable compounds." Georgie laughed merrily. "So after all d was only your digestion that suffered ; excuse me, Harry, I really imagin ed it was my society you missed. Aunt Ma ry would not let me come sooner," she added, standing on tiptoe to reach a refractory vine. Mr. Holbrook came to her assistance say ing as be placed it iu her hand. " You know well enough that we missed you, Guorgie, only Letty's cooking added to our general discomfort. Nobody ever could make a pudding or an omel, t jest like you. I wish you would not fled it necessary to visit your aunt Mary so often." "Often I Why Harry, it is a year since, I was there last, and you forget how she kindly took us into her own household, before we came to live here. And now please excuse me, my epecurean friend, unless you want your tea spoiled again." Saying which, Georgie picked up her sets. sora and strings uud hurried into the house, while Harry threw himself lazilyinto the easy chair she had occupied during the afternoon. He was joined shortly afterward by Mr. Wayne who rubbed his hands complacently. I! Well, Harry44ller housekeeper has come bark at last, and I am glad of it; the house looked scarcely habitable with no one to straighten things up. How was business to day Very V:•ry 0119 K, 01M11 a‘o , ll tin,. c.a.,- thing In good running order," answered the younc man cheerily. " You do not regret your venture then I" "Not at all. I see now that I was Intend ed for a business man rather than a proles Mona' one." For, be it understood that our friend Harry had just set out in the mercantile life, having opened a store in the flourishing village of Lynnville close by, that threatened to eclip-ai the older and less pretentious establishments attne kihd in the place. The gentlemen c.m. versed for some Sine lohger on business tip. ics before they were interrupted by the sum ikons to tea. It was a very delicious repast to which they eat down, fresh biscuits of Miss Georgie's own halting, golden batter, trans parent jellies and delicate brown teacakes sup. pleinented by strawberries gleaming bright and luscious in their snowy china saucers. At the head of the table Georgie was pouring the tea, finishing unconsciously a very pretty home picture. " Whom do you think I met at Marston's papa ?" asked Georgie all ut once. " I am sure I don't know, my dear ; unless it was a former lover." "-Former lover indeed I as if I had everhad one. No, it was Cora Bouoinut. You re• member her, don't you ?" "Do you mean the sallow, truck eyed girl who spent one of her vacations with you sev eral years ago 1" "Sallow I oh papa how can you 1 I dare say you will change your opinion when you see her." "So we are to have the honor of your friend's company. Yciu will not tell her I called her sallow, will you ? I remember she used to have a temper," looking up deprecatingly Tom his tea If you will be good and let us rah; your best horses and ask Harry to escort us, I will ell nu tales." "My horses are at your disposal of course, but Harry is a business man now, and w ill hardly have time to wait on you and your friends as he used to years ago." "Oh, I shall tear myself away from the store once In awhile and be at your service, and at this Bouillnot's too for that matter," making a wry face whieb Miss Georgic for tunately did not see. "Let me see,"he added respectully, "I believe I was not at home on the occasion of her former visit ; at least I have no recoil, ctlon of her." " No, you were spending your vacation with one of your colle,te chums." " And when do you expect her, Georgie ?" inquired Mr. Wayne, "In a few weeks at the farthest. I was so glad to see her. Aunt Mary and" I were to the depot to see Mr. Lange off,when some onv called me from the car window and who should it be but Cora herself." "So all your negotiations must have been very promptly executed, unless Miss Bondi not remained at Marston." " No, she went right on. I bad only time to ask her to come and to introduce Mr. Lange. I dare say They had a nice time on the way. They both live in New York, you know." " And who is Mr. Lauge, pray ?" asked Harry a little uneasily. "Mr. Lange? oh he is a friend of Aunt Mary's. He spent several days at her home, she thinks he is perfection, and Indeed so ho is, very nearly. Perhaps he will visit ussome time during the summ' r." Harry din not set nt to be as delighted at the prilint et of u vidt front Mr. Lange as Georgie expected, for he became very thought. ful and finished his strawberries in silence, allowing her and tier father to discuss' Miss Boudinot's expected visit. That evening Harry returned from the village an hour earlier than usual. Mr. Wayne was in the library and Georgie was practicing some of her mum which had been neglected during her visit. She looked up quickly as sheheard h s step. You are early this . evening, Harry," sho said smiling ; " is it In honor of my first even ing at home, and am I to entertain you ?" " Yea; that is I have something to say to you." " What le It?" she naked innocently, look- leg up and flushing a little as she noticed the grave look in his eyes. " I love you, Georgie, and I shall be miser able till I know that I am more to you than a mere brother:" " Oh, Harry I The flush on her cheek deepened to a vivid crimson at a declaration so utterly unexp cted. " You will not disappoint me," ho went on eagerly, "I always meant to who you sone day, but I never knew how dreary the world was without you till now. I could not bear to have you away always." "Bat I am not going away, I never in. tended to," she said, her surprise overcoming her confusion. • " I know you do not Intend It now, bu' how do I know that some meddlesome fellow will not come along sooner or Inter and carry you off," urged the 3 oung man, an unpleasant f irebodlng of Mr. Lauge's threatened visit flitting across his brain. "Oh, nonsense, Harry I I shall not go with any one. Please don't say any more about it, but go and get your violin and we will go over that mazurka," running her fin gers over the keys and smiling into his gloomy face. "I don't believe you care a straw for me, Georgie ; I really don't." " lea, I do, [Larry, a great deal, but can't you wait till we are both a little older before you talk about It." But Harry refused to listen to reason that evening. In vain she urged her wart of beauty and such accomplishments as he would like in his wile, and assured him that he would some day repent of his precipitancy. He plead ed his long friendship, his deep respect, and more than all his great love f.ir her, and in the end be had his way. There was a look of proud tenderness iu his beautiful eyes as he stooped to kiss her that did not leave him all evening, even though they went over their favorite duetts and blundered awfully all along as might have been expected under the arcuntetnnci s. "My friend, Atlas Boudinot, htr. 110 l brook." Hurry looked up lazily from the paper he had been reading. He knew that Q orgie's visitor had arrived but had not seen her as yet. His look, half indiffetent, hat annoyed, changed quickly to one of involuntary surprise us his eyes rested un the loveliest face he had ever seen. In spite of himself he was embarrassed, for this young lady was so completely different trout the awkward school-girl he had expected to see, and try as he would after the compli ments of introduction were over and they dritted into a familiar conversation he could not keep his eyes from her face. The dark, passionate eyes, the pure, perfect features, and the strange fascinating smile, playing like a sunbeam over them at rare intervals, each had a separate charm, and every -moment brought a delightful change. Is she not beautiful, Harry 1" asked Georgie that evening, after her guest had hidden them good-night, and flurry was absently turning over the leaves of an album. " Yes, so beautiful that one could look upon her forever," lie answered dreamily. Well, it was the old story—the wiles of an accomplished and ft natant, coquette pitted against the love of a simple-hearted girl, only ~ij r lUls case there was nu int +- u~iooul harm, • molt existing between her little friend and Mr. Holbrook, else the fine sense of honor underlying her careless nature, as well as her ' sincere friendship for Georgie, would have kept her coquettish iirpttlses in check ; and in this case, too, there was no degrading jealousy on the part attic injured party; since Georgie, pure.hearted and unsuspicious, never thought or construing Iltrry's attentions to her guest into,anything more than was due to her in her position ; and in her cuaracter of hostess site had so - much to do, that ninny little things that might have betrayed the situation of affairs quite escaped her notice.. do the days passed Very pleasantly to her as well as to the ' others, lor there seas tin lack of amusements In a place that could boast as much gay com pany as Lynnville during the summer months. Till one evening a mouth aft, r Mot Boudinot's arrival, in passing through the hall, Georgie stopped before the large glass near the parlor (Law to arrange her hair. The door was half open and site wits on the point of joining Harry and Cora, when she hcaiU the former saying, "I love you, Cora, you only, listen to me only for a moment." Georgie's heart seamed to stand still. For an instant she stood, her eyes dilated, her face white .as marble, then she turned and flew noiselessly up the broad stair case into the seclusion of her own room. " Ile loa•es her—he loves Cora 1" she kept repeating in a mechanical, bewildered way, utterly unable to grasp the extent of the treachery that was shutting out the sunlight front tier young life. She had never dreamed of this. Harry had been so entirely.her own ever sinte their childhood that' she would as soon have doubted her own existence as his constancy. • At length a flood of crimson swept over the fair face, her small hands were clenched, her eyes flashed indignantly. " Oh, how I hate her—how wicked and false she is." She stopped short. • " Site does not know how he belongs to me, and Harry—she is so beautiful, he cannot help preferring •her to me." She sat down by the window, her eyes strangely quiet and thoughtful; fixed on the glowing west' rn skies, her mind occupied with painful thoughts. If only Harry had waited a. few weeks longer before he had spo ken to her as he did. Site fancied it would be caster to give him up if he did not know, she loved him. For an hour she sat thus, and when she arose to go down stairs she seemed to herself to be oh I so much older and stronger titan she hod been when she eat down. " Georgia ! Georgie I where are you 4" It was Cora's sweet ringing voice that call 13119/ I on coining, Cora," she answered. " line,, you forgotten that we promised to spend the evening with May Talbot?" "No, but if you end Harry will excuse me, I think I Mull stay with papa. You know I have been out every evening this week." "May will be so disapliointed and indeed so will I. Can't y.iur papa amuse himself alone this one evening ?" " No," said Georgie, smiling but resolute. "I shall stay at home and read to papa. May will excuse me, and papa has been so indul ge at lately that I feel as If I ought to make som • return for lila kindness. Ask Harry to coe me, lease." " You are a better girl than I ever shall be, little pet," said Miss Boudinni, throwing her arise around her friend with sudden tender. flees, and kissing her fondly. Georgic's last resentful feeling vanished be• fore that kiss, and as she turned to go to •the library, she felt an earnest hope that they might be happy. Sbi• found her father seated in the deepening twiiight, his'boolc closed be fore him. " What, aro you not going out my child ?" he inquired. " No," she answered, the tears springing to her eyes at the kindness in his voice. "I am going to read to you. We haven't finished Ivanhoe' yet, you know." " True, and it seems so much more inter. eating when you read It to me, than when 1 read It myself, hut It seems hard for you to stay at home on an evening i,ko this." "I had rather stay at home than go out this evening," she answered, truthfully enough, as she lighted a lamp and selected a book. "I have neglected you so badly Mr some time past that I desire to be punished." It wa4 I at•• wkee cry anti C returned, hul taey hound Georgie still la the parlor.

Without a word she slipped the costly engagement ring he had given her from her finger. He shrank back guiltily. " What do you mean 4" he asked. "To release you from au engagement you are sorry now for having formo." He took the ring saying stiffly: "Perhaps you will favor me with an explanation." " Certainly ; I happened to h.•ar'you tell Cora this evening that you loved her, you will do me the Justice to believe that I was not an intentional listener." " I shall never consider you capable of any meanness." he r"plied quietly. I heard n hing more than that one simple declaration, and indeed her answer Is of no consequence ai ece my course wont I be the same were it favorable or otherwise. I should have released 3ow sooner bad you asked me as you should have done before speaking to her." "I never meant to speak to her at all.

" Do not look at me in that way, Georgie ; do not despise me, you do not know how I have been tried. At heart lum true to you even now, but in her presence I am power ss." "I do not blame you for loving her.; the heart will not be controlled, but I do blame you for wishing to marry me when your heart belongs to her." The•re would he no harm even in that, since I know that when she Is gone the old love will triumph over this infatuation." "There Is no need that it should. Since you cannot be true to me, at least be true to her. Win her If you can and be assured that I shall be ypur friend still." She took up her lamp and walked towards the door, but came back In a moment. "You are not angry with me, Harry ; [did my duty. To-morrow you will thank me for it. And now good-night. He took the hand she extended but he did not kiss her as usnril. When she was gone he stood where she had left hint, thinking and wrestling with his conflicting passions, the chilly night .air awe, plug over him till the old clock in the dining room struck one ; then he aroused himself' from a kind of stupor into which lie had fallen and sought his own room conscious as In a dn•am of a dull pain in his The next morning Harry was in a high fe ver. Long days and nights of delirium fol lowed in which Georgic's watchful care did as much for him as the ministrations of the nurse who had been summoned. Cora still remain ed at Georgic's earnest entreaties ; when Har ry was once convalesent it would be pleasan ter for him to have her around, was Georgic's unselfish thought. One morning a new source of perplexity presented itself in the shape of a letter from aunt Mary's servant, begging Miss Wayne to come to Marston at once, Aunt Mary was down with a severe attack of neuralgia and called tor her favorite day and night. Geor gie laid the case before her father and Miss nondinot. " Impos•ibL• I" was Mr. Wayne's decided answer. • Yon aro quite unfit to go through another term of nursing. I cannot let you go. You are pale and weak now." "I am stronger than ynu think, papa. My Aunt le In trouble and there Is but nne course open to me, I must go Fortunately Harry is nut of danger, so that I shall not be missed much here." "Mrs. Watson will remain a few weeks longer If we wish It and I shall aee that Mr. Holbrook wants nothing." pa't In Cora, will ing for once to put herself to some Inconveni• once, seeing how anxious Cl , orgie was to go. The latter thought of the scores of little things the exacting invalid would require which neither Cora nor Mrs. Watson would ever think of, but she put aside all demurs and having obtained from her father a reluctant onnsent set out on her mission, followed to the very door by Harry's complaints. A week sufficed to bring Aunt Mary's neu rtlgia to terms, and laden with many bless logs the weary little nurse prepared to go home. She found things in a terribly mixed up condition. The nurse had been called away unexpectedly two days before,and her father, Lettie informed her, was upstairs In. Harry's room, trying to fill the place of the departed functionary. In the parkir, the only habita ble room in the house, she found Cora sub limely tranquil, deeply absorbed in a volume of poems from Mr. Wayne's library. Geot• gie threw off her things hastily anxious to see how poor peviAt Harry was faring. She took a peep into the library on her way upstairs. The air was redolent of tobacco smoke, for her father was an inveterate smo• ker, and no one had thought of airing the room ; . the So n was littered with papers and cigar steams. A heap of apple parings, on which a sworm of flies were regaling them selves, lay on one wimlow, and a hotpot she had placed there a week ago stood en another. The proprietor of the room had evidently been reading late without a lamp, for the blinds were pulled up a , ' far as they would go, and one of the strings was broken, which gave the window a lopsided appearance positively pain• ful to behold. Harry's room looked no better. The re. mains of his breakfast, and possibly of several other meals, occupied the stand by his bed side ; the yellow September sunshine lay In blazing squares on the carpet and was begin ning to creep up the sides of .the bed ; the windows were all closed and the air hot and stifling. Her father was asleep on the easy chair with an extremely dirty handkerchief over his face, while Harry, his face flushed and feverish, was tossing on the ill•made bed. He started up as Georgic's cheery face appear ed at the door, crying eagerly, "I am so glad you have come, I want a drink—have been wanting one for an hour past." She lorstened down stalraand returned In a moment with tresh waterand a clean tumbler, confident that the one in hie room had not been chanced since she left. He took the water eagerly, while Georgie threw open the windows and drew the blinds, ~allowing the cool, sweet air to steal Into the room. Then she went and laid her hand on the flushed forehead of the efck man. He caught it In his, pressing the cool eon Angers on his brow. "Oh, I have wanted you so mech. Gene en," he said, with actual tears in his eyes ; " They neglected mo shamefully." "I ern sorry ; if I had known that Mrs. Watson would be obliged to leave, I should have come sooner." " Don't talk to me about Mrs. Watson, sho only gave me disgusting medicines and dish• water tea." " Harry I" "It is true, and was asleep whenever 1 wanted her—just like uncle there," with an impatient glance at the unconscious sleeper. " Poor pupa is worn out with watching,you know." " Possibly, he is about the only one that ever pretended to watch. Miss Bonditiot only entered my room once." " I was an sure she would seo that you were comfortable or I should never have left. Per haps she did not know you needed any thing." " Olt, she used to send me what she fancied I needed, only she always happened to hit on the wrong thing ; besides she cannot make a decent cup of tea, or a piece of toast fit to eat." "You are tired and irritable now ; I will arrange your bed for you and you must try to sleep." She made him comfortable, darkened the room, and moved noiselessly about restoring the room to something like order. Harry fol lowed her for awhile with his eyes, but soon dropped asleep. Georgie stole downstairs, to give her orders for dinner and to wee r and dust her father's room, she also replaced the the faded boquet by another and mended the broken blindileaving the room neat and corn. fortahio as it was wont to be. ‘Vhen she returned to H aryls room he was still sleeping sweetly, looking very thin and pale now that his eyes were closed and the flush gone from his f a ce. Mr. Wayne was awake and looking about blot in a bewildered manner. He smiled approvingly when he saw her and nodded his head as he glanced around the room. " I knew all the time that something was wanting, but could.not determine what," he whispered. "It takes a woman, and a gentle thoughtful one at ihst, to make the sick room endurable." "Thank you, papa, and now I will dismiss you for fear you may disturb my patient. I have put a pillow on the lounge in the library, If you have not had your nap out." Georgic's presence had a a thitary effect on Harry. She asked no questions, but a •emed to know by a sort of instinct what was good for him and what he wanted, and so uetimes as he watched her at her work which she fre quently brought to his room, be questioned whether hi; had not made a serious mistake in transferring his affections from this tender, unobtrusive girl to the brilliant uselt ss lady down stairs. And the worst of it was that he bad given up a real happiness for an ex ceedingly intangible hope, for Miss Boudi• not, although she had not refused him, hail yet only given him the hope of winning her. How was he to know whether she did not in tend this as a mere summer romance to be thrown aside as soon as she returned to her gay, city life. However, when at length he vas able to leave his room and sit in a great easy chair in the pleasant parlor all day long, with Cora as his companion, every doubt was put to flight, for she was kinder and more flexions for hie comfOrt than even Georgia waited on by one so beautiful, so pleasant, that he forgot how she had kept aloof during the dark hours of his illness, or thought to duly that one so lovely ought to know noth ing of life's trials. As for Georgia, she ke g ' unselfishly out of the way, knowing that site had done all that was required of tier andleel• Ing that Harry might wish to renew his suit. In the latter conjecture she was quite correct, but try as he might to touch upon the sub ject, Miss Boudinot always foiled him and that, too, with each consumnate tact that he invariably felt as if he himself had defeated his purpose. • blotters were at this point when Georgic's friend, Mr. Lange, arrived on the spot. Ile was stopping in the village on business con• ect.•d with his firm, he told Georgia when in returning from a walk she ran right against him at the gate, adding " I could not resist the temptation of calling on you, little friend." She held out both her hauls in joyous wel come, not caring to disguise her pleasure at seeing him, her life had grown so cheerless of late, that the sight of a true friend was a pleasure indeed. •' You shall come right in, Mr. Lange. My father will be most happy to meet you and your visit will be a delightful surprise to Cora. Did you know Miss Medina' was here ?" " Yes I that Is I knew she purposed visiting you. But I supposed possibly she had left ere this." So they entered the parlor where Harry and Cora were engaged in , a game of chess. The latter blushed slightly as she expressed her pleasure at renewing her acquaintance w Ith Mr.. Lange. Harry bowed courteously iu ac knowledgement of Georgic's int reduction, at the same time taking a hasty survey of the newcomer, of whom he had heard so much. Ho was neither very young nor yet very handsome, but there wits that in his appear. ance, in his manners, In his very voice—deep, musical and carefully modulated—that prov( d him at once to be a gentleman in the noblest sense of the word ; just such a generous, big!, bred, honorable man as one meets but once or twice in a lifetime, and having met, re members ever after. Harry's quick percep tions told him this in a moment and he helm very insignificant, indeed ! but recovered him self before he knew it under the influence of the stranger's genial, unassuming con versa. tion—for Harry, although be might lack \‘ eight and stability, could lay claim to a sprightly wit, a graceful adaptation to the circumstances around him to which this dignified man of the world was a stranger. They were very un like, these two men, and yet both had their good points anti in spite of his prejudice against Mr. Lange, Harry was attracted to him. Mr. Wayne joined them shortly after and the little party spent a delightful even ing. " You must come often during your stay In the village, Mr. Lange," said Georgie, as that gentleman rose at length to take lie leave, "or, better still, I wish you could persuade yourself to accept papa's Invitation to make our house your home fir the thnc." "That Is Impossible, but you wi 11 no doubt s ee enough of me yet," he answered laughing, "since it will take but a very slight excuse to take me frequently Into such congenial so ciety." Pray do not suck an excuse, but corns whenever' you feel to inclined," said Mr. Wayne. Thank you, sir. I hope I shall have the pleasure of seeing you soon In the village, Mr. Holbrook," he added, torang to Harry who had followed him to the door. "Thank you. I expect to be able to 'ven ture as far as the store very soon." A faw more words closed Mr. Lange's visit, the first of many °there, for a day scarce• ly paned lEI which he did not "happen In," a. 4 he expressed It. And Indeed be wall al. ways a welcome visitor, his presence stimula ting all to new animation and enjoyment, all except Miss Boudinot, on whom It seemed to have a depressing effect.

Yes. f• ared —for although he had deserted her she had not forgotten that his troubles had ever been her own and in the generosity of her warm, womanly heart, she had long since forgiven his Inconstancy. However. Misa liondinot's penchant for conquests seemed to have met with a check, for she manifested not the slightest inclination to engage Mr. Lange's attention, and once, when he chanesd to be her escort for an excursion on horne t ack, she seemed so truly miserable that Georgie procured her another partner for the ride homeward. Probably, thought her saiencions little friend, it was her love for ' Harry or hi r fear of his displeasure that made her so stransely reticent in Mr. Lange's Kee. tme. and to make sure of this conjecture she took ascension ones, when they were alone in her friend's room, to sound her on the sob• jeer. •• Cora, you really like Harry more than any oilier person." she inquired abruptly. • Certainly not, you little darling. like you better," replied Miss Boudinot, laugh ing. "That is only meant as a compliment, of course. Do you know why I asked ?" " No, I dont, unless Mr. Holbrook put you up to it." ' Indeed he didn't, then ; but I do want to know why you never flirt with Mr. Lange." Cora Boudinot colored violently and the merry lonic went nut of her splendid dark ryes as souldenly as If the dreaded person Georgie had mentioned had made his appear ante In person. "I have never felt the slightest disposition to flirt with him," she answered In a low, quiet voice. I thi •k yens evident dislike of him pains him sometimes." " Dislike I oh.

In fact Mice Boudinot was se un encouraged and even quarrelsome of late, that he dared not hint at his attachment and rather preferred Mini miserable by himself.
