"1 thought I saw a face looking in-over the cur
tain: How - very ridiculous! Edward has made
me quite nervous." And Alice, as if spurning
such weakness, began to work, and hummed a
tune to beguile the time till her father's return;
but ever and anon her eyes glanced to the half
curtained window, where, if Any face were now
peering in, it must have belonged to that highly
privilegediefitlemon, the-man in the moon, who
was certainly casting very bright and familiar
glances upon Alice at the moment. Thus re-as
sured, she was resolved to prove to- herself, by
going and looking out of the window, that she
hadreonquered her apprehensions—when, most
mistakably, a foie again raised itself above the
edge of the curtain. Poor Alice clutched the
chair and scarcely breathed. , A strougarm seem
ed to shake the casement, ,which was almost im
mediatelylifteil up, and a man jumpprd into the
apartment.
Mice, stilt grasping the chair, stood the very
impersonation of some godden—Pallas, it might
be, though armed but with the weapons of a wo
usan'il heart, innocence and offended pride at an
outraged privacy. - :The intruder did not seem
to he one of the• common stamp. It was doubt
less the consciousness of this which grate Alice the
extraordinary courage and self-temseation which.
seemed to awe the man, and how him like a cow
ard before the truthful dignity of her raised head
and compressed lip. His hat had been knocked
off, p r obably in his forcible (Aimee, and the
Undisguised face certainly was not that 'of a ruf
fian.
"L—l--am concerned, madame—that is -1w
on my honoi,'; stammered the intruder; "I have
done so confoundedly !Wish a thing, that T
scarcely knoir how to apologise for it. The fact
is, I have jumped in at that Window, and having

“My dear Miss eripplegait,"—said the young

"And no wonder," said another, shepacks,
up her tatters and follows the drum to .get off
from her old miserly father."
"There's one of the ),.track blades that wants
to get'her away," said a third, as , t.'stptain Din

braiding, "and how can I atone?"
Scandalous tales, like mairoonts, spring up in
a night, and hare as many gatherers in the morn
ing. This poor Alice was about to experience.
Hoverer, in the meantime, her chief anxiety was
about her father's delayed return. She!resolved
not to mention the visit of the young officer eith
er to her brother or fatheiL4he former, she was
sure, would resent it by MOMe imprudent word or
act; and the latter, from his naturally suspicious
disposition, it would be diffieult to eonvince of
.her attire innocence in the Sutter. Alice had
never before felt so desolate and unhappy; tears
were stealing doles her chetahs—aced Alice was
not apt to give tray to sentaatental weakness; but
the idea of any one /deeming himself privileged
by her poverty and unprotected state to offer an
insult which he dared not have ventured to one
ins higher position, hurt the pride of the poor
girl; and' for the first times the datighter's heart
dared 10 arraign the father who could thus, day
after day, leave his child exposed to the possibil
ity emelt an outrage.
With this new and reproaehful feeling toward
a patent, Alice raised her head from the table
where it had been bowed down in sorrow, sad
as if tried aad-eoirrieted on the spot, beheld her
father standing gating at her. His small, shrewd
eyes seemed to read her inmost thoughts; and, in
spite of all her filial affection, Alien shank from

"You oust have much tomocupy your thoughts

sad a frown came over, the really fine, intellectu

miser.

"Who i so unjust as to say so?" asked Alice
