Senator Horton wits wearied
with Lis legislative unties, slid
when Sunday downed. bright and
beautiful, it was indeed a day of
rest, to Dim : when evening came

ladies. Everywhere he felt assttr

ing mammas cuaperons were most
gracious to him : and very bright
were t ho glances of the young ’a
die , when they felt themselves
atnh r the magic of handsome dark
eves.
Tho senator flalcrtd himself
however, tii** his heart was imper
vious to die “grahde passion,’’and
he did not willingly intend to
yield his freedom to domestic
htaldom. Vissions of caudle
lee ares and love were ratti
er confused in his immaginn
lion.
His tiist visit was to Miss A dair
a stately, graceful blonde, where
an hour was most pleasantly
spent alter wliich he found him
self in Hiss Rose Watson’s
door.
As he rang he bell, a vision of
piquant face rose before him—the
saucy mouth that dimpled into
such cousfant s.niies, shoving the
fan t. ess teeth : the little pug-nose
and tl*e large brows eyes, tint
Hashed every evpresiion so vivid

"She is a dear lit.de tiling !’’ he
thought ; "l.ut sue * a butterfly of
fashion that she would never do
for one's wife. It is almost impos
ib'e to think cf her, except as fly

or diseasing ‘the loveliest ball,tin
it arcs! little bonnet’ I wonder
if she ever had a domestic tl ought
in hot life.
Hut, the smile of reproval wliich
accompauie 1 these thoughts had,
uncoiiciously to himself,a shade of
4cnderuess in it.
The servant now answered tl»e

whose mystn'iis he had never be

a tabloau which was but i charm

at he. feet. Her dress was a </ain
ty neglige, and, if the snow-white
c.jlar was a ii tie awry, ii added
only to the jaunty effect. Her
curls were caught at be back by an
silver ar.o-v, and her bangs were
brushed back, except a few loose
curls that would s;ray 07er the
forehead. So interested wav see
in her lemon and her pets

b,, t it must be confessed, wid
the bright eyes baside him and
the charming home feeling
which the occassional chirp of
the little chicken* gave him, he was
scarcely aware whether it was
a lemon or peach that h» was eat

I his unceremonious home tfte-n
ft * was was something delightful
ly new to the batchelor, wjo had
spent (he greater part of his life
in hotels with no sister or woman

to the easy enjoyment of domestic
life.
“ ' re ,bese your pets ?’’ he said
bending over the chickens as pa

away.
Yes. Ate they noi cunning and

pretty little chickens are unless
they examine them "

she exclaiiuel, “only to give such

Oh !" she screamed, as his chickeu
chirped loudly; “don't hold him

several days nursing one whose
leg was broken, and it required
all of my love and care to uiuke

how much he suffered ! - ’
And a suspicious moisture
di umed the brightness of her
ey e.
A wild desire to be a chicken
seemed suddenly to possess him,
but with senatorial dignity be re
pressed the expression of it.
“There is only one thing.” con
tinued the butterfly of fashion,
with a new, strange color upon
its wiugs, “that I like better, and
that's li'tie ducks so soft’so like
round, yellow balls! and when
they walk they wadd'e just like u
—just lika a duck.’’
“Yes," he assented, “just like a
duck.’’
“Then when you feed /hem, and
they climb on your feet and bands
and are so gentle, is.v’t it love

“1 suppose so.’ he said. “But
to confess truth,” he added ninth

since I have fed any that I

•Ah! ’ she said, “you ought to

“Oh, Hose,” he exclaimed s?.d

lies in your power to initiate me
