By M. K. H.
We are all seated aronnd the breakfast table,
dear oil dad, mother, Mabel and little Toddles,
who, though five years old, we still considered
the baby, and nnited in spoiling to the last de
gree. He earned his nickname when beginning
to walk, for he was is broad as he was long, and
reminded one of a little prize pig.
Oar eldest brother, Albert, is at College, bat
graduated two days ago and we are this mo
ment discussing him, and waiting imps'iently
for the mail-bag, when Pompey—our one ser
vant man—enters and places the looked for ar
ticle beside father. There’s but one letter which
he leisurely reads aloud. It s from Al, saying
he will be home next day, bringing a friend
with him, Jack Mortimer, who has taken the
highest honors. He describes him as the ‘prince
of good fellows,’ and hints that he may possible
fall a victim to Mabel's many charms. At which
ebe blushed and modestly oast her eyes upon
the tablecloth.
‘Hurrah ! shouted I, 'Al home to-morrow,
we've no time to lose, mother, his room must
be put to rights, oake made, and a dozen things
done for the comfort of the dear old boy.’
*Gently. Norah,’ says gentle mother, 'if Mabel
will as -*
But Mabel was graoefully Having the room;
she did everything graoefnlly, to my envions
eyes; why oonld not my nnrniy mop of carls
lie in smooth waves and be wound artistically
aronnd my head. Her dresses always bang in
graceful folds, while my over skirt was gen ral
ly looped higher on one side than the other and
the pleating anything but smooth.
As t leave the room aud run up the stairs,
singing, in the joy of my heart —I hear Mabe’
practicing her list car piece of music; my nose
curls contemptuously, it has a trick of turning
up without the slightest provocation—some
have even oalled it a ‘png,’ which I scornfully
deny. Brother At consoles me by calling it an
angelic nose, because it looks heavenward.
I know from long experience that Mabel will
sit at the piano until mother and I have done
all the work, then she will be so surprised and
ask in mild reproach 'why we did not call her
to help.’
As if she would soil her little white hands do
ing anything menial. There was a time when
mother and I did not work, but it was before
father took to hunting bags, I forget the proper
name for these researches— and don't believe I
could spell it if I remembered. When asked
advioe about important matters, he tells us ‘net
to disturb the equilibrium of his mind, for he
is making the most wonderful discoveries,’ per
haps he will have a potato bag under the micro
scope, or a nasty black beetle.
The eventful morning dawns, I ajse with the
lark and go singing about the house like a ver
itable one.
Pompey has gone for them, in our family car
ryall, but knowing the failing of our venerable
steed, we don't expect them back much before
dinner. (It is seven miles to the nearest rail
way station.)
I have just finished sweeping the parlor, a
goodly portion of my dress is tucked up in my
belt, an old blue veil hides the refractory curls
from sight, I am conscious the dust has gone np
my angelic nose and will presently set me to
snetzing.
Mabel comes in at this moment, her dainty
white apron laden with fiiwera, her fair cheeks
tinted like the rases she oar.ies—she is beauti-

're I see, I burst into a peal of laughter, thna
•owning the sound of eager steps in the ha 1
tat stop at the open parlor door. The laugh dies
uiy lips—my face fre*z« in horror—my
. ' mid have stood on end, but that the
* held them down—for the intruders are
Mr. Mortimer. Mabel goes gracefully
holding her apron with one hand, she
bther to Al and puts up her lip3 for a
•ar brother, I am so glad to see you,’ she
takes the proffered kiss and introduces
his friend, whom she greets with a charm-
blush and smile and pretty words of wel-
Al makes a rush for me, catches me in his
arms and stoops for a kiss, but pauses for a mo
ment.
“Can I find a e’ein place, Bridget, to imprint
a fraternal salute ?’ .
Oh, Al, don’t! laughing and crying in the
same br-ath.
H« held me from him, then burst into uncon
trollable laughter.
‘By Jove! hilt you’re a gay madcap, you look
like a cuinmey-sweep, washer-woman, and old
clo’tnan, a ( l in one.’
To my utter confusion he turns and leads me
•Jack, this is Norah. Faith,! but I should
havo said Bridget,’ he adds, with a brogue.
The gentleman bows as courteously as if I
w re dress-d in my one Sunday silk, wnile I
stand wimout a word, in all the horror of a com
ing sne ze.
■Norah! have you lost your torgue? says Al
« li'tle sternly.
Mr. Mortimer has just said he was happy to
meet m»; at Al’a rebuk*, i manage to ariioalate
•thank you, the pleasure (it’s coming) is more
—-atohu—atchn—a'chn !
Al roars—I turn a .d rnn ignominious'y from
the room, not beiore fi-st seeing the amused
smile on J rck Mortimer s face.
-*1 feel I sta‘1 hate him,' I mutter vindic
tively, as 1 stand in the safety of my own room,
looking at my flashed, dirty face and disorder
ed attire.
‘How did they get here so soon, ’ I wonder. I
learn later that Pompey drove too slow for them,
so they started on a foot race about two miles
from the house.
1 dress in a disheartened manner and descend
to the dining-room at soand of the bell.
Is it possible 1 see an admiring light in Mr.
Mortimer’s eyes as he looks at me? .No, he
must have just gazed at Mabel and the light still
lingers in them; very fine eyes he has too, I am
compelled to admit, dark blue, with heavy black
hs ies, unlike Mabel’s, though hers are blue,
but not with the flash and sparkle of bis; still,
hers can flash at times, when she doesn’t get her
own way.
■Who made this podding, mother?’ demands
Al, ‘it's delioions.’
•N >rah made that,' cries Toddles eagerly, be
fore mamma can answer, 'and she made cake,
and •sillybng ‘
'Syllabub, you foolish child,' corrects Mabel
. While I oast a severe look at poor
lit le Toddles. „
Mr Mortimer will think it's all I'm good for,
to fill e servant's place, but ther—why should I
ot-r<;—he is to fall in love with Mabel, and I
hcav * a crr»»f sigh. . .
•Why, Madcap,' ories Al, ‘what's that sigh
for? O'.11 uie scanty remains ot ths padding?"
*1 urn glad yon like it, Al.‘ I say coldly.
*1 assure you, I haven't enjoyed anything so
much in a long time, Miss Norah, we get no*
poor fare at college, • says Mr. Mortimer.
•Yes.' 1 answer indifferently, but a little g»
ified thrill goes through my heart at his pra •
We all rise from table and Al bega me to go
over the place with them: and the day paw
nil too soon. At night. Mabel sm«. *nd »'•
Met timer bends devotedly over and *
music.
Al teases me to join him in a rollicking duet,
but I firmly refuse, until Toddles lifts his plead
ing eyes to mine; we can refuse the baby noth
ing. so I go to the (iano and desta into the j olly
song, Al singing with gnsto. Suddenly a rich
btsi takes up the air, unoonsoiously 1 play and
sing in better time; at the close be remarks it's
a favorite college air and begs for another song.
I sing an old Sootch ballad and he thanks me
warmly.
"You have a splendid contralto voice, Miss
Norah. Have you taken many lesions?'
I gaze at him bewildered. My voice splendid
beside Mabel's sweet soprano—why, she was al
ways telling me not to sing, that my voice was
c arse and harsh, and when she went to the
nearest city to have her's cultivated, she ridi
culed mother s idea of send ng me too.
I cast a trinmphant look at Mabel, and replv,
‘I have never taken lessons at all in vooal mu
sic.'
‘What a pity! Yon have the richest contral
to voice I ever heard,' he says earnestly.
I go to bed highly elated and dream I become
the first prima donna of the age.
CHAPTER II.
The days fly by, as if on golden winrs. I find
mjpself taking more pains with my toilet, until
Mabel is astonished and asked me with a sneer:
‘If I'm trying to eat her out.'
‘I can do it aud not half try,' I retort saucily,
but^this is all bravado on my part, for I'm forc
ed to confess that Mr. Mortimer is very devoted
to her.
He has been here just four weeks, I Bit
musing on this fact in a sleepy sort of fashion.
It's a snltry. summer's afternoon. Mother and
Mabel are taking a siesta. Mr. Mortimer and Al
have gone fis'iing and I am feeling a sneaking
inelination to follow them—when Toddles trots
up to me and begs me to go to the orchard with
him for some ptaohea.
'I shall have to olimb the tree, Toddles, ‘ I ob
ject.
‘Well, you don't mind climbing a tree, sister,
pl-ese come,' he coaxes.
No. I never have minded, but now it seems
unlady-like and I fancy Mr M rrtimer consid
ers it so. Bat Toddles coaxes with many a
kiss and caress, so I don my garden hat and sal
ly forth, Toddles and Bruno—my dog—at my
heels.
We reach the orchard; sure enough, the ripe
frnit bangs highest, I sb 11 have to climb the
tree; swinging the basket on my arm, np I go.
I pluck them eagerly and soon the basket is
filled; cautiously i descend — Toitwes and Bru
no are at some distance, rompiug boisterously —
[ am h If way down and b^gin to fee’ secure,
when crack-crash—I fall through the limb,
my peaches scattering in every direction, as I
catch fiat tica : ly at the branches. Something
stays my rapid flight-my dress has caught on
a stout twig, but in 8'iob a manner that. 1 cmnor
reach it. At this moment a whistle breaks np-
on my ear—it mast be Al. I cannot see for the
bat that shades my face-but shout at the top
of my powerful lungs. To my intense horror.
Mr. Mortimer's voice answers me, I stud as if
rooted to the spot—the steps come nearer—I am
in agony—
‘Where are you?' he calls.
‘Go away !' I cry. Toddles and Brano run
up. attracted by my shout-.
‘Why, Norah,' exclaims the cause of all the
mischief, ‘why don't you comedown?’
‘Toddies !' I cry imperatively. The little fel
low looks aggrieved.
'Can I not assist you in some way ?' calls Mr.
Mortimer from a respectful distance, t . —
•Me-. do — 9*franu^rwiraio ie. 1
•Very good,' he replies anrt makes a kind pre
tense of studying the landscape.
I feel that my position is a degree more ridic
ulous than bet* re, and while tears of shame fill
my eyes, I tng furiously at my drers.
•Are you down ?’ he demands, without turn
ing turning round.
•No,' I muttered, ‘but it must give way seen.
Toddles, in the most heartless manner, is sit
ting on the ground, d- v taring the peaches. 1
check a wicked wish thatoae of the stones may
choke him.
I give another furious pnll at my dress the
limb I stand on breaks—and, with a shrink ot
dismay, I precipitate id j s til into—Mr. Mot ti
mer# arms.
•Are you much hurt?' he questions tenderly,
still holding me.
•Yes, I am,’ I sob. ‘See,’ and pnlling up the
«le-ve of my dress, sljow several long scra'che*

the intelligence that I've fallen out of the tree
and broken my arm.
As we move slowly towards the bouse, we are
met by the tern fid group, mamma, about to
faint, to^ks her speechless inquiry. Mabel de
mauds ‘if I've really broken my arm,’ aud I an
swer surlilv :
•No, bnt I wish I had,' at which idiotic
speech, Mr. Mortimer smiles openly, and Mabel
gives hiui an amused glance.
•So they are laughing at roe,’ I think savagely;
and turning from them, walk rapidly into the
house, followed by mamma and Toddies, whom
she is gently scolding for exaggerating.
In my own room%tiie binds up u*y bruised

gladly do, fallng off into s nothing slumber.
When I a»ake, the room is filled with dnsky
shadows, and I know they must have finished

moods than thtf any other in their best.
I sit dnmfounS—my heart beating in heavy

passing his armlhtly 'around my waist, ‘why

I feel I am shfr petrifying, and sit like a

tightening his ai around me, he bends niu

Willie was an imporiant person, as you will
see, in fact the right boy in the right place,
tie was always ofc bund when wanted, and wis
ilways doing s.ra.etbing for somebody, and I
doubt if MiiuiAor Dora or Mamma would

It is diffic'vit to do justice to all of Willie’s

arship that was i ooured for him by friends who
had watched IhSpdustry and integrity of his
bovish career, b left the oollege walls, not in
