Ile had divined a happy result, whon he missed Bill Tarbox from the arena, and saw him a fellow! away, hand in hand with his reconciled sweetheart. "I envy you, said he, "almost too much to put proper fervor into my' cam,ratulations. - , '"Your time will come," the foreman rejoined. And says Belle, "I'm sure there is a lady skating somewhere, wily waiting fur you to follow hei "I don't see her,'-" Wade replied, look ing with a mock-grave flee up and down and athwart the river ‘• When you 'ye all gone-to dinner, I'll pro:peet ten mile , : up and down and, try to find a good wet rintoni al claim that's not taken " " You will nut Collie up to dinner ?" Belle asked. "1 can hardly aff ird to make Iwo bites 'of a holiday," said Wade. " 1 'ye sent Perry up for a luncheon llere he cornea with it. So I cede my quarter of your pie, Miss Belle, to a better fellow " ‘,..0h:" cries Perry, coming up anti bOi - ing elaborately. " Mr. and Mrs'. Tarbox, I believe, Ah, yes I Well, I will mention it up at Albany. lam go ing to - take my Guards up to call on the Governor." Perry dashed off, followed by a score of Dunderbunk boys, organized by him ns the Purtett Guards, and taught to Sa lute him as Generalissimo with military honors. So many hundreds of turkeys, done to n turn, now began to have an effect upon the atmosphere. Few odors are more subtle and pervading than this, and few more appetizing. Indeed, there is said to be an odd fellow, a strictly American gourmand, in New York, who sits, from noon to dusk on Christmas-day, up in a tall steeple, merely to catch the aroma of roast-turkey floating over the city,—and much good, it is said, it does him. Hard skating is nearly as effective to whet hunger as this gentleman's expe dient. When the spicy breezes began to blow soft as those of Ceylon's isle over the river and every whiff talked Turkey, the population of Dunderhunk listened to the wooing and began to follow its sever al noses—snubs, beaks, blunts, sharps, piquants, dominants, tines, bulgies, and bilids—on the way to the several house holds which those noses adorned or de faced. Prosperous . Dunderbunk had a Dinner, yes, a Mtltika, that day, and Richard Wade was gratefully remem bered by many over-fed foundry-men and their over-titd families. Wade had not had half skating enough . "I'll time myself down to Skerrett's Point," he thought, " and take my 11113c11- eon there among the hemlocks." • The Point was on the property of Peter Skerret„ Wade's friend and col lege comrade ten years gone. Peter had been an absentee iu Europe, and smoke .from his chimneys this morning had confirmed to Wade's eyes the rumor . of his return. Skerrett's Point was a mile below the Foundry. Our hero did his wile under three minutes. Flow many seconds un• der, 1 will not say. Ido not wish to make other fellows unhappy The Point was a favorite spot of Wade's. Many a twilight of last sail . mer, tired withtlis faeging at the Works to make good the evil of w rule, he had lain there on the rocks Under the hemlocks, breathing.the spicy.methyl theyv tured into the or. Alter his day's hard fight, in the dust and heat of the Foundry, with anarchy- - iindunthrift, ho used to take the quiet resiortitives of Na ture, until the warmer and. fragrance of the woods, the cool wind, and the sooth ing loiter of the shining stream, had purg -e'd•hitu from the fevers of his task. To this old haunt..he skated, andkind,' ling a little fire, as an old canipai ,, ner loves to do, ho sat down, and lunched h heartily on Mrs. l:urtett's cold log', cannibal thought I—on the cold leg of Mrs. Purtet,t:s yesteVday's turkey. Then .. lighting . hiS weed,-L-dearally of the . lone ly,—the Superintendent began to think of his foreman's bliss, and to long for some thing similar on his own plane. " I hope the wish is father-to its fulfil ment," he said: ''''.l3ukt muSt, not stop here , and be Stici,o,tiy.':YSueh a' hale,yon day I may not - ha e-agalujii:all. my life, ii and I 07,10 to ma: e thi4cat of it, with any New Skates."' So he darted off, lied i filled• the ',little, cove ahore the Point with , aiaby,iinth - of ()turns and:flourishes. . .. _• • ' When that bit of chrystal tablet • was well covered, th s e podographer sighed for a new sheet to inscribe his intricate ru bricas upon. Why not write more ,tao zas of the poetry of motion on the ice below the Point? Why not? Braced by his lunch on the brown fibre of good Mrs. Purtett's cold drum stick and thigh, Wade was now in fine trim. The air was more glittering and electric than ever. It was triumph and victory and paean in action to go flashing along over this footing, smoother than polished marble and sheenier than first water gems. Wade felt the high exhileration of pure blood galloping through a body alive from top to toe. The rythw of his movement was like music to him. The Ponit ended in a sharp promon tory. Just before lie came abreast of it; Wade under mighty headway flung into his favorite corkscrew spiral on one foot. and went whirling dizzily along, round and round, in a straight line. At the dizziest moment, he was sud denly aware of a figure, also timing, the Point at full speed, and rushing to a col lision. In fact, abashed at the blind eyes sud denly uneloasing so gear her, she was on the point of letting her burden drop. When dead men come to life in such a positioh, and begin to talk about "kissing the place," young ladies, however inde pendent of conventions, may well grow uneasy. But -.the stranger, though alive, was evidently in a mulhiseous, invertebrate condition. He could not sustain himself. She still held him up,. a little more at arm's-length, and all at once the reaction from extreme anxiety brought a gush of tears to her eyes. - "Don't cry," says Wade, vaguely, and still only half:conscious: "I promise Weil: er to do so again."

Just as she was making up her mind to scream, Wade stirred. He began to tingle as if a familiar of the Inquisition were slapping him all over with fine-tooth ed curry-combs.
