She', was up to all sorts of tricks, and wouldiplay some Most unmerciful jokes I • 1. on ine i wuenever aribpportunity presented itself. • 3 I, at that time, !was a young man of twenty-two, just gridnated from the prin cipal High School, And naturally, as most young Imen do at that age, thought my self of some importance to the commuity. iname was-u.) matter, Fanny al ways called me ''Conz Frank." I was paying a. short visit at Uncle! John's, and as I was thrown a great deal' in Fanny's society, I, of course, became very intimate with her. If Fanny over played practical jokes on me, I was certainly very little behind her, for I eta naturally very- much of a tease. If I found anythin- would annoy her, that was tiAe very tliing, I was sure to do. It' slip disliked .a certain book I was sure tolbe continually quoting from it If sl - fe abhorred a particular person, I was alWays talking about him, and would bring him to the Reuse until she would grow fi ntic and seek relief in a. flood of tears, Which invathtbly had the desired effect tO make nie be.g pardon and prom ise betier coudunt in the future--for never euutd stand tears. I It was a glorious evening ,and Fanny !intended Lavin 7 v.! few of her.youn= lad . ; acquaintances with li,±r to while. -dway the hours plea:\antly. !

The oysters were soon out.of the shells, and Fanny, brush ing the shells in a pan, approached the , barrel. Goad Lleavens ! She was going 'to empty the shells on my head.
