A eharitnblo oezo swept ono soentod bunch of bkrnm a bit aside, just out of the leaoh Lif a little brown Imml Hint had a mo ment ago ruthlessly stripped off' half its blossoms. But the owner of the hand had al- n.ly turned about, with a toss of her bade eurls ami a flirt of her pink cnlioo that seared the butterflies, and i the branoh swung back slio wan hastening un tho trim garden path, and, flinging bank a shurp spooch over her houlder at a tall, sunburnt young fel low who, with a vexed light in Ids eyes, stood watching her. “ Oli, it don't matter what I think I Indeed 1 don’t think at all. You may take whom you like to the next May lance ; you won't take me.” It was suoh a pretty shoulder over which these words were east, aud there was such a rosy fltmli of anger on the round cheek half veiled in otirla, that it is no wonder John Armitngo took two >r threo steps in pursuit of the speaker; but ho stopped, drew hiniHolf up with •uddun ptide, and said one reproachful vord. The one addressed wavered a little in :ior retreat, thou resumed it with in- I'd eelerity. YilT yrtajitoi .. .. the young nmu quCrfoxT, dfgnation somewhat modifying his tone if appeal, “ N«> I” and the pink calico swept thq oyriles on either side of the walk faster yet. “ Very well,” was the angry response, as ho who pleaded turned toward tho gate, " But, mark my words, you’ll be sorry for thin before these bushes hero" —brushing tho low sprays sharply aside—aro out of bloom Now, good bye.” Nanay, peering from behind a curtain aftor Ida retreating figure, oriod.

I shouldn’t wonder if he’s gone down to Sarah An derson’s now. They will bn onguged next thing, and alie’ll crow over me finely. He’ll trv to make me jealous” -hero Nancy lin’d a fit of crying. "Hoo if I won’t mako him jonlous first!” Tho way she would do it heentno apparent the next afternoon, when dressed in a jaunty blue silk that set off well her creamy complexion, dark curls and tinted checks, she started to tho village. The dainty blue parasol was lowered a little us she came to the pretentious block of buildings opposite the hotel, upon one of which hung tho sign: “ Dr. Miles Gray. Office hours from 8 to 10 a. m. and from 3 to n. tii. ” But tho face of the building w blank, and tho office curtains lowered, so with an impatient oxoiamation i her breath, Nancy went on to the post- ! office, whore, getting no letter, nrned discontentedly toward horn The fates forbade her. Slio had not coomplinhod a quarter of tho dial before the light roll of wheels made her turn her head and start perooj tibly In a moment morn, young Dr. Gray, whose nutty top-buggy was tho envy of all tin: men, uud whose fascinating ile had won tho hearts of all the in, had drawn up his horse nt her o, had leaped to tho ground and naked her engerly: " Mias Evans, may I have the plens- •e of driving yon home!’’ Tho color brightened in Nancy’s ebooks, tho light danoed in her oyoB. as she ussontod with a charming smile; oment they wero l>owling along tho road, and the blue ribbons blown ngninat tho doctor's broad cloth. Dr. Gray was young, handsome and not deficient in brains, with pocket- money enough to prevent him from bo- ing tragically earnest in his profession, and very much in love with tho coquet tish bit of woman liy his sido. As for Nancy, slio was a little afraid of the gray eyes that could bo quizzical ns well breotea fluttered light curie aorosa Nanoy’s arch black eyes and a blue silk panpol had to bo hold up to keep the smpirom her rosebud of a faoo. Tho doctor had a lurking fear that Nunoy was ft hr tic and ignorant, but ah 1 alio was no pretty I Ibw far thoy rode in this lazy way, whmly wrapt in conversation, is not knopn. How far they would hnvo rid- den.ifl not certain, if Nancy .had not so^tfn mischievous glance straight into tho bray oyea, and inquired : 'Why, whore doos that patient of yonfa live ?” Tho doolor laughed frankly, coloring nevortholeas. “I soo you understand tho ‘ways that aro dark and the tricks t hat are vain,’ pretty well, Mian Nancy. And now 1 ihm't dare to tell you what I was go ing to before you spoke.” 'tyYhat was it?" quoriod Nauoy, ou- rions and conscious. .

Then came tho memory of the!* yesterday’s quarrel, and Nnnoy faltered with a struggling smile. " J—I don't know.’’ Hho did know, when in the late twi- liglii «ho and tho doctor walked to- gather into tho dusky sitting-room at homo, ttliero her father was dozing and her another knitting, to nHk their oou- sonbaud their blessing. "Dear mo," said tho good father, rubbing his oyes, " Two suoh pieces of newa iu 6no day’s cur'us hereabouts.

Her tniud wan iu a whirl. She did not know why she was thore, or what she would do. She was in deadly fear lost soma ono should dis cover hor, yot she could not turn away. For half an hour alto crouched thore shiveritiRly, novor taking hor eyes off John’s window, but starting every timo tho onrtain blew. Suddenly a stop on tho garden path started hor so violently that she could scarcely suppress n noream. It wan probably some of tho work pooplo—oh, if they should hoo hor ! A hasty poop through tho bushes showed her that it woe moro than that; it was John himself, striding straight toward the gap in tho hedge, and wearing a most unpropitioua faoo. Nanny, in blind terror of discovery, orawlod on her bauds and knees oloso under the lilacs. IIo had passed, ami wi»h almost when a bird that Nauoy had distnrb- flow out with loud chirping. Guo ond of the looso bluo nash had caught on n stiff bough, and the oolor arrestod his eye. Two strides brought him to tlu* spot, aud ho stood with folded arms looking down nt hor n moment boforo his amazement found vent iu tho oxola- j mat ion: " Nauoy ?” Ho lma novor soon nnoli utter aban don and ngotiy of slinme ns that with whiah tho poor littlo maiden hid her faoo and cowered in the wet grass, with tho ory ; Oli, what shall I do ?

For auswor ho gnthorod tho littlo wot flguro in his arms, smoothod tho tumb led curls, trim! to warm her ioy hands, and did not daro to quostion while ho soothed hor in his teudoroSt way. " Tnko mo home,” said Nauoy ns soon slio found strength to sneak at. all. " I shall do no enoh thing,” was tho dooided anHwor, as John’s diBongoged hands raised hor faoo so that ho could seo it, " till yon toll mo why you came, Nnnoy.

But Nauoy was in no hurry to " tell about it.” She only said, nervously, holding John’s hand iu both hern : " Promfso mo you won’t go away.” "Ah, but I want anotlior proraiHO first.” Nauoy looked bnok at tiio plumy hedgos whoso sholtor thoy had loft, and said, with a half smile.

Sunday aftomoou John finally came. Nauoy, sitting in tho parlor with tho dootor, caught a glimpse of tho woll- known figure at the gule nnder tho li lacs again. For a few moments the room£ whirled around and slio wan ileatjpgr white, thon she rose menhon- ieally,' saying she must hid Mr. Armi- tngn good-bye, and she went out to tho doorway, whero John was greeting with hor parents anil warding off tho New foundland with a laugh. " Y*s,” ho was replying, as Nnnoy carno lip, " thoy say thoro is a pretty good shnnoe out thoro for a young fol low with health and energy—how do you dp, Miss Nanny?—and I’ve always boon pntorprisiug. so T mean to try it.” Naqoy stood pulling the rose vines to prices; whilo for an hour tho othors tidkeu crops, polities and prospects. Bho could not have spoken for hor lifo, though she longed to speak as a con demned criminal longs to ask for moroy. Not qyco di : John turn his obstinate auburn head to look at or spook to her, and at last ho rose to go. Ho inter rupted himself while detailing partio- lure about grazing lands, to say good- bye wljilo ho just touched hor hand. If he half looked at hor, tho miserable, pathetic look of appeal would havo gono straight to his heart, hut ho did not daro to look, and turning away nb- runtln, walked down tho garde i path wit.fi tho garrulous farmer hobbling by his side.

Whon she at last joined tho dootor, as in duty bound, tho stunned look in hor fnco was pitiful. Hho "'♦as not well,” sho said,Jin answer to his alarming queries. It.was Nanny who proposed that they should go to church that evening. In the oorher of tho high old pew, with her voi! hiding hor faoe, sho could at least bo quiot, and one hour moro of ef fort wonld havo boon insnpnortablo. Mrs, Avnitago was alone in her pew, and orihd silently all through tho ser vice. Nancy’s heart so went out to tho poor woman that, whon they met in the aisle nh/b pressed hor^hand impulsively, Christian maidenhood. Sho is only it faulty young girl, orriug and loviug and suffering, playing hor part in ono of tho tragedies that are ployed ovorywhoro in the springs and autumns, in tho timo of lilacs. Tho Tortilla, admiring, and of the smiles that sometimes curled the corners of the black mustache. But Nanoy was min ns a lover just then, tho doctor was quite a "catch,” and so she laughed and chatted oh the bay horse trotted along. The farra-honse entno in flight too soon, and the doctor stopped midway tech to inqniro: n’t you toko a lo .. such a beautiful afternoon Nnnoy demurred, ss in duty bound, " I—don’t know.

"Oh, well, then,” began Nancy, somewhat contused, " But aren’t these your office hours?” "Confound ray office hours 1” com mented the doctor to hirasolf. Aloud he said : "I’m sometimes obliged to break through my office honrs. I’m . going now to boo a—patient on the out- Would nothing happen to stop him ? skirts of the town.” Ho they drove on.

Hour aftf r bonr passod, and still sho paced there, till hor rigid face showod wnitely in the Arnt faint gray of morning. Ob, would ho go! could ho go! A Moxican oorrospondent says : "The niont popular Blands on tho Plaza wore those of the tortilla makers. Approaah- ing one of thorn*, wo watched with in terested curiosity a ohoorfnl-loolting, ahOgany*oolored woman who (Boated :i a stool with tho inevitable enfant n la matnollc), was rapidly preparing tho popular cake. Taking a hall of corn- moal dough about tho sizo of a small ogg, she patted it into shape between tho palms of hor hands, uud placing it hor right kneo (which is supposed to bo covered by hor ono garment), by skilful manipulation of her fingers she stretched it to tho size and thinness of a gentleman's pocket-handkerchief. Lastly with equal art sho spread it lightly into nn onrthern pan of boiling fat, where in loss than no timo it be came as transparent and crisp an a shoot of thin glass. Handfuls of these ry-looking wafers disappeared among tho bystanders, who fancied thoy wero getting a quid pro quo for their olaoos (coppers), lmt found, alas! thoy had 11wallowed but a bubble. This is not, however, tho ordinary tortilla, which forms tho ntaplo provender of nine- tenths of the population, but only u fauoy variety indulged in on foto occa sions. The genuine article is not half ho thin or brittle and boars a distant but discernible relation to a piece of good, strong buokskin, which bus been well aoakod in water aud thon partially dried. It is oomposod simply of finely ground Indian meal, moistened and laboriously worked, until its glutinous element is fully developed, then mado into thin cakes about tho size of a din ner-plate, uud finally baked or rather heated on a griddle, just so much m not to destroy its tenacity and flexibili ty. Those two qualities are essential to a good tortilla, for it is valued not only for its intrinsic merits as an article of safe f-ncl eosy digestion, but is used n wrapper for baked frijolos, chiles, bits of boiled beef.” Contested Seats in tho House.

" Thankful Hutchins.” Destructive Possibilities of Ooal-oil Lamps. A series of oxporimontu was porformod in tho ofiloo of tho now flro department headquarters yesterday, to show that ooal-oil lumps of nil ordinary patterns aro linblo to oxplodo at almost any time whilo burning good proof oil. It is argued that explosions may at any timo tako pluoo by tho flamo from the wiok passing down tho tnbo and igniting tho gas whioh forms on tho oil. Tills gas, it is claimed, is present whenever tho temperature of the oil roaches sovonty- ilvo or oiglity degrees, Tho foot has been pretty woll demonstrated that it is impossible to prevent the snlo of oil mnoli below tho established grades, and with suoh oils tho danger is greatly in creased. Tho frequency of aooidento from the oaroless use of ooal-oil lampH makes tho subject ono of especial intor out to tho lire department aud tho in Htiranoo raon. Tho experiments venter- day woro obnorvcd with considerable interest by quite a unmber of gentle men, among whom woro Chief Bnxton, of tlm "flro department; W. T. Harris, superintendent of public eohools ; Prof. Yost, of tho Arnorioun medical college : Prof. Morrill, Gas Inspector Blair, and several others. Tho first oxporiinont was mado with a lamp provided with a brass tube ahont throe fourths of an inch in diameter, screwed into tho nook and roaohing nearly to tho bottom of the oil contained in tho bowl of tho lamp. Tho burner was removed, aud tho oporator had no four to introduoo a lighted tapor within tho tubo, ovon far enough to roach tho oil, whilo holding tho lump in his hand. No oxplosion occurred, booauso tho tubo prevented tho flumo from cor.taot with tho gas that was undoubtedly in tho lamp. Tho tubo was thon removed and tho lamp placed on the floor, being then simply an ordinary ooal-oil lamp, with tho top unscrewed. A strip of paper was thon inserted so that ono end pro truded from tho orifleo. This was sot flro with a lighted match, and as soon as it burned into tho interior of the lamp an explosion occurred, show ing that thore was plenty of gas pres ent. Tho thermometer was applied, and tho temporaturn of tho oil was found to ho 83 dogs. Fahrenheit. If any appliance oon bo found to insnro safoty in tho hho of ooal-oil, it will bo a valua ble invention. Tho oxporiments yester day woro incomplete, and did little moro than to show that thore is nothing bat danger in ordinary coal-oil lamps. —St. Louts Republican. —Next spring ono hundred English swells aro coming for a grand buffalo hunt on the Plains/ The hunt is to be organized on a magnificent scale.
