Bein frequently in her presence. it
was not long ere he found that tis lady
possessed an individuality of character
the most remarkable he met in her sex.
She was unusually intelligent, had an
independence of thought and Character,
combined with-the most polished femi
nine glaceP, which of necessity must be
felt even by such a stoic as be. In fact,
aft( r• u feni weeks' acquaintance, he
fo r ,ind Miss Maud quite an interesting
lady; but that was all.
Time passed away, • and be began to

essential of his—mental beauty, He
had considered woman as a weak area;
hire in clmiracter and intellect; had al-
ways imagined her to be in every sense,
except intensity and susceptibility of
feeling, man's inferior. He .found in
Maud Leighton no such Creature as
'this, but a lady possessing : all innate re
serve and a native independence of
mind which commanded his sincere ELl
mirution. -
Mr. Gray became a captive unawares,
and be enjoyed his eapitvity. If Miss
Leighton had any reciprocal regard for
him, he had.as yet re i ceived by word,look
or act 110 token; this, rather than still.:
rag the feelings which ho was now fully
sensible of sustaining toward her in
•creased the intensity, and made him
admire and 'value ber more highly. She
!wait a lady to be won; and it was a
powerful incentive to hint to know that
froin her dignified reserve, whether na
tive or diplomatic, he could expect no
overtures.
Mr. Gray was a vet) , austere individ
; he was:naturally so and he mani
fested in Miss Leighton's ' presence
none of the feeling& raging in his heart.
Between two ench persons there was
little prospect of either ever , knowing
the feelings of the other. '
A Social Circle had
.. been organized
at Glendale several years previons to
the openilag of this story; and the young
'people of the village and , neighborhood;.
meeting. , weekly during the winter
mouths, I pored their evenings very
pleas.' ently and profitably in social and
1 literary • exercises.
r Gray ad been frequently solicited ,
1 to,joiu he circle. - and , finally, after
,
i much hesitation and deliberation, 'did
so. Miss Leighton was also an attend
ant.. These social gatherings, together
.rti: •i. utprary exercaies, be .fonn!l
very agreeable, and the circle of his
acquaintances greatly increased.
James Sheldon and Manzi( Leighton
had been schoolchildren together, and
in their childishness bad flattered.them
selves with the idea that they loved
one another; and in their innocent way,
probably they did. Tames` Sheldon
was now a yciung man; and his feelings
toward Maud, it was said, were still
warm
It was very apparent that in Mr.
Sheldon's company Miss Leighton ex-
hibited . much more animation than /
when in' the presences of Mr. Gray. On
several occasions when with Sheldon
and other of her friends, the appear
ance of Gray among them would in
stantly transform her buoyant gayety
into a queenly reserve. 'Was this caus
ed by that peculiar !sense :of restraint
which one feels when‘ in the presence
of the person one loves ; or by a culti
vated diplomacy? Cdr. Gray was -un
able to decide.
Such uncertainty could not long be
endured, to make some developments
by which, as he expressed himself, "to
see if there is any occasion for me to en
courage my feelings for the lady; it
not, then I am arlool for allowing my
self to harbor any other sentiment than
that of friendship.,'
He took the initiative one wintry
night in December by requesting the
pleasure of accompanying Miss Leigh
ton home from one of the meetings Of
the circle; a request which, although
having had more than three months'
acquaintance, , had not previously
made. Her reply, a negative, Was
sufficient to cause a relapse into his
own true state of misogyny. It was
slightly consolatory to know - that Mr.
Sheldon did not accompany her home.
Bat this relapse was not serious, and
he had so far recovered in the course of
a couple, of weeks as to
_repeat the re
qw.st, and on this occasion thmight
himself supremely blest by her accep
tance. , After , this he was frequently
favored,' and he found those
little germs of loie in his heart bad
grown with wondrous rapidity, until
Maud Leighton seemed to him to have
became essential to his being.
• This was comparatively a new feel
ng to Mr. G ray, as be had ;previously
held that he could get along without
womankind, but he was repentent now;
and was willing to admit that he- bad
teen mistaken. He lived .in Elysium
for a while; but the day neared when
he mast leave Glendale, with► ittmany
pleasant associations; but above all
others he must leave Maud. He had
made 11l avowal of his feelings, as that
conveyed with it the idea - of marriage,
and he did not think that a few months'
acquaintance would admit his taking so
serious a step; however, be determined
to continue his. - relations with her by
correspondence if she would permit it;
so he had concluded to 'ask her for
this privilege• upon the next and last
night of hie attendance at_ the circle.
Maud was there as usual, arid' he ex
pected to accompany her home, when
he would ask permission to correspond
with her.
The evening-passed pletutantly; some
expressed their regret 'int the prospect
of loosing Mr. Gray, who in return
assured the _circle of his sorrow aver
log the many pleasant associations he
had foil/led. At a late hour the yopng
ladies and gentlemen began.: preparing

: to go to.their homes, when Mr. Gray
:apprOached Miss Leighton to ;mattehis
wonted request for her coripany. _
"Miss Leighton; may I have the
pleasure of accompanying you home?"
• thank you, Mr. Gray; not this
evening.
To say that ha was anrpritea will but
eebly express his feelings. , It • WdR so
entirely unexpected as to completely
confound him. With a profound bow
he left her:
.WivAt could hawcaused her refusal
atter the almost universal acceptance of
his company? Ile .would seek an ex
planation; it -was due- him, and he
would demand it!
An oportunity presented itself. when
finding hiMaelf in the presence of the
only being whom 'he -had over truly
deeply loved, after the tuna ! oliserva
tiona concerning the weather," and upon
other topics of tndifference, he be-
g a n—
"Miss Leighton I wish to ask you a
question of greater iutereßt to me than
to you, I presume, and I will not make
any long preface to explain it; but I
hope you will answer in the same can
did way in which I ask it. Will you
explain, please, the refusal,of my com
pany at the last meeting at the circle?"
"I have no explanation 'to make,"
was the reply.
"I am fully aware, Miss Leighton,"
Gray went on in his pompous, way,_
"that you have that peculiar privilege
of refusing when and whom you please;
but in view of the fact that I had - be
come almost habituated to accompany
ing you home previously, and yon.were
apparently satisfied, or at least resigned
to it, it occurs to me that it is due me
that you tell me why., without any
previous sign or apparent provocation,
you so positively declined my cora-
pant'. "
.
"I cannot see that an _explanation is
neceattry Mr. Gray."
"I see that yon exercise your pqrog
stive to _its utmost. Let me say a word
further, please;• and before doing ao I
wish to say that this is n 6 time for di
plomacy, but I shall try-to be as candid
as my thoughts, and will be brief. When
I first met „you Miss Leighton, the im
pression yen created was decidedly an
indifferent:tine. As I became - more. fully
acquainted with you I became conscious
of the fact that yon possessed such iutel,
lectual qnaltities and- feminine graces tt .
created in me a decided
: interest. In . my
attendance upon you,; you always ap
peared perfectly Satisfied, and certainly
encouraged ma by permitting my 'con
stant attentions. Now, if this was caus
ed by the charity of etiquette, it islcer
,
tainly of a very peculiar species; if the
- spirit which actuated you wag that 'of
coquette, you Were wrong in letiding, a
man to think the being he admired
reeiproca ted his own feelings."
"I didn't think it was so serions es
thatr" saict_Mand austerely.
"That was juit how serious it was
with me," said Mr. Gray, "and I have
been a fool for ever allowing the weak
ness of the heart to run riot with. my
reason; with no gain but a painful ex
perience. There is u grim consolation
in knowing. that such experiences • are
not.repeated with me."
"Mr. Gray, if I have ever given you
cause to fancy my feelings toward you
more than friendly,-I did not intend to
do so. AS for • your 'experience,' I
fancy it will do you no harm."
"And why not, Miss Leighton?'.'
"I cannot answer you without giving
•
offence."
"I will run the risk of that." "
. "Then, Mr. Gray." and a roguish
smile curved the girl's lips, "you . re so
intolerably 'conceited and self-Opinion
ated, ao disposed to eontemptuously'
regard my sex, that it would serve yen
quite right if every woman you know
Shoiild snub you as you deserve to be
snubbed. Yes, sir, snubbed! GOod-by
Mr.. Gray! Allow me to advise you to
cultivate humility!" , •
And with a slight bow Miss Leighton
slipped away, leaving Gray to swallow
the bitter pill jiist administered as best
he could. Let us hope that the medie
eine did ; him good.
A month afterivard, Miss Leighton
became Mrs. Sheldon.
