A GIRL’S FANCY.
HY EIWARD J. 811 IU VNEH.
In the c*b that is driving up Euc
lid Avenue we find our hero, the smite
boy whom we met on ttic lake nt
Brownfields, still intent on his ob
ject, though no longer with u dream
inf IrrdeGnitwttrtB. ‘
Etta left Montrose lor home hus by
no menus been spent idly. She, for
the first time in Iter Iile, has found
a whim to which she is constant ;
ami in the correspondence which she
giants him hus, instead of dulling
her interest in this lutest notion, ad
ded Iresh fuel to the Humes.
j'linmie, seeing now just how
iliitig* stands has been vigorously
making preparations for appearing
b-fore Mr. Lat’lon creditably. IIi H
first step is to borrow u little money
Ilia father has laid up, and the next
to hire Uesksroom and an office-boy
in New Yoik, where he puts up n
sign as “Broker in Iron,” this being
to give color to thcchwuctci he in
tends to nstuine of bring An agent Ibr
Mr. Petirs. And now, with all hit
arrangements completed, he is driv
ing up to Etta’s home, not yetoured
of all his palpitations, out with con
siderably more self-possession. *
lie feels very tremulous again as
he euters the door, and as the foot
man with a gentle persistence, takes
him to his room rather reluctant,
since he cannot see w’haf “fixing” he
needs, and Almost gives way when lie
finds hitusell in the most elegant
room he has ever seen. Dressing and
auddeuly 4hwoveting that ho is ut
terly at a I os s as to where to go to
and what to do, his usual good luck
•brings Etta to Ins rescue on her way
dffw n Hairs. Helped by the same
good angel he struggles through Ins
dinner, escapes a danger in not know
ing what wine to drink by suddenly
becoming totally ubstinent; is fortu*
mite enough to be drawn into aeon
versation on iron, uml hy adroitly
using the little knowledge picked up
at the forges and mbs reading to
gain credit for knowing a greaf
deni.
And so the days go on, Jimmie’s
luck favoring Inin str-adlv until he
has wou Et a’s pledge of her love,
stepmothers goodwill, her father’s
esteem. Her Cousin George had
gone to California, disgusted, as soon
he got home from the Catskills, and
Mr. Ellis, who is the only person be
sides Etta that know< anything of
.Jinmjie's real position, is South on
a long trip.
On a lovely September morning
the lovers are standing ut the lnk< •
sole, watching the bright sunlight
that sparkles in innumerable dia
monds on eacli little wave crest,
while a great, lumbering schooner
creeps h zily ul'Mtg with un occasion
al clank of its boom against the mast,
and the cool swish of the water, that,
seems to grow deeper and darker and
colder as the shadow of the hull
falIs across it. All around is the
dazzling sunshine, that here and
then* flashes white from a sail trying
to coax motion from an air too hot
and tned to stir into a wind.
‘Dear,’ said Etta, suddenly, ‘do you
known that papa goee to Europe to
morrow for six weeks?’
‘No, I hadn’t heard a word of it.
It must be a very sudden move.’
‘Very, lie only made tty his mind
last night.’
‘You are not going too, us you
thought you would on his next trip?’
‘No, I can’t get ready,’
‘Etta,’ says Jimmie, after a mo
tneut’s pause, ‘have you the courage
for a bold step while he is away?’
‘No—oh, no! cried the frighten
ed girl. ‘I can’t do it. Why don’t
you ask for iris consent ?’
‘Because I would never get it. lie
will only give you to a rich man, and
that I won’t he for some time. If
you marry me now he will easily give
in,tiiMl will I hen have an interest in
pushing us on, and will help us more
thi£i be would help me alone. It
rests with you, and if yon can’t agree
tbjhis,w<- may as well give up all
out? hnpt s.’
’'Wait until to-morrow, nml I’ll
trj^nd answer then.’ Turning
t0 the Cttrri8 K e behind them,
th^VRds? ‘IYe will gb home uov,
at ch I will think until the morning
No, you nmgn't talk to tm l* imper

Veiy charming she looks, with her
little, haughty air, but very coinmau*
ding, and her lover very wisely leaves
her #o the balancing of duty and in
clinatton, ol prudence and self-will,
that is sure to turn in hisfuvor. All
throbgh tlie evening and the next
fort-coon she is the usuul bright fairy
that her father worships; but hard

she turns to Jimmie, who is stand
ing behind her, with the won's—

Gordon really loves her, and is veiy
earneft iu tlie ambition that U’st
prompted him ; but for a few mo
mewt/he wavers m Iris purpose, so
cruel in its sacrifice of this victim lo
a destiuy so uncertain. He can hard

of hii-ffUn when we think of tlie, to
him, tremendous value of ihe prize,
and tip training that has never

possibility of them ; bin
not help feeling his reaped
appointment to Jimmie; over the
brief year after the marriage, while
tliny live modestly on a few thousand
dollars that Etta had in tier own
hank account at the time of the
elopement; over tlie awful day when*
this giving out, u letter begging
pardon and reconciliation is replied
to with:
"Dicxu St*—-Your favor of the S8tli
received. My letter to you oT a year
since fully overs the question upon
which you touch. Phase consider our
intercourse and correspondence closed.

And the nlo:m*raok closed down
over them, driving into their very
souls tlie mist and cold.

tew moments dees this lust, and he
clasps iu Iris arm this trembling frame
so low tig, even in its terror, clinging
to Hie manliness that she sees in the
fierce triumph sliming out of Iris

er% The water that forty-eight-hour*
before spoke only of the Skitnpole
side of life with its lazy accent, now
lashes itself to wake to the coming
sttpm. The gentle lapping of the
waves is changed to an uneasy rush
and hoarse whisper: their bright di
amond points give way to a dull,
linden hue that is only harkened by
tine while cups gleaming witli their
continuous energy as far as the eye
cm reach. As our run-awuys fly
along on the railway to Rochester,
they see the storm-ruck

and in that sheet of spray tutd rain
and wind, each movement overtaking
nni hiding another and another sail,

Of ibis part of their story there is

Then came the return of Mr. Lai ton,
his grief at Iris daughter’s flight and
anger at her husband ; his inquiries'
too late, about Jimmie by letters and
eviii detectives, with the reports of
mortal turpitude and bad reputation
hat the detectives feel bound tagive
him to justify their use and their
pay ; and finally comes the day when,
under the influence of these reports,
of Iris hurt pride and disappointed
affection, and spurred on by Iris wifes
cautious encouragement, lie writes
to Mr. and Mrs. Gordon, waiting lor

It is best to clean two nt n time,
in Ibis way : First, comb tliem wcR,
to remove the Iooho hair oy dust,
then dip tlie bristles only in very
warm water, sprinkle each bru^h
with plenty of powdered borax, and
rub the fwo together; after they
arc cleansod thoroughly, have a
pitcher of hot water, and pour it
over tlie bristleH ; keep the back, o!
the brush as dry as possible. Shake
the water well out—dry quickly in
the sun. Brushes washed in this
way will retain their stiffness.
