But the time came, as must,'When jealousy lit her spark in my boyish bosom, and blew it into a com. -earning flame. - ' *ell 'du I remember how and when the " greeneyed" perpetrated this incendiary deed. It was on a cold October evening, when Helen Donald and myself were returning, with our parents, from a neigboring hamlet. As we ap proached a ford where the water ran Somewhat higher thanankle.deeP, we prepared to carry Helen cease, as we were' accustomed to, with liandsinterwoven, "chair fashion," and thus carried-our pretty passenger .Over the brook._ Just as we were in the middle of the water-- 7 . which was cold enough at the time to have frozen anything like feeling out of boys lesti hardy than ourselves—a faint pang of jealousy nipped •rny ' heart. Why it was, I _knew not,. for we bad oarried laelen..fifty times across the brook era now, vgithout emotion,-but this even-, thought or fancied that Helen gave Don ald.an undue preference by casting her arm l aroinid his neck, while she: , steadied herself on my Side-by holding the ear of my jacket. No names can burn so quickly or with so little fuel as jealousy. Before we had reached the opposite bank, I was wishing Donald at the " botttim of the sea." Being naturally impetuous, I burst out with— ' “-Ye need- ha hand eo gingerly, Helen, as •if ye feared:a fa," I can aye carry ye lighter than Donald can half of ye." Mal i§urprised, at the ,vehemence of my lone, our qup.en intaiposed With admission that we were both Itiong, and ihai she had no idea - of ,sharifig•niY powers.?

On such topics, buy are generally , emulona and by , the time We reached the optic)- site Side; it - Was settled that the point should be determined by our singly carrying Helen across the foxd in, ur arms. . _ Helen was to determine who had carried her . most easily, and I settled with myself priiately in adVancii, that the one who'obtainad the-pref erence would really be - the persen who stood highest in tier affections.

But I must not anticipate. i-We Suffered all'the rest of the' party to pass quilitly.afong, and then returned to the ford; I lifted Helen with,the . utmost ease, and carried her like an infant to the middle of,-.the water.
