"1 wonder at your lack of spirit, child,” mamma had said, plain tively. “Ob, what ia the use of having spirit?” I retorted, recklessly. “1 must have a studio? And there is not a room in this little beehive that has a good north light! Was not I horn and brought up at ltjt- tcrsley? And why shouldn’t I keep my studio in the garret, as long ns there is nobody else there but the rats and ghosts? I tell you, mamma, one gets inspirations in an old liou-e like that! And I am going to redeem all tho family fortunes with my pencil before I gettbrougbi" liut mamma only sighed. Since the disastrous law suit had been decided against us, she had fallen into the way of sitting aim lcssly by the fire, as if there was nothing else left to do or think of in life. lint I cared nothing for the judges of the Supreme Court, nor for tbe distant licir-at-luw, who bad turned us out of liattersley. I came there every day to dreaui and to work, and to build up those castles in the air which reared their ethereal pinnacles in thg morning, and dissolved nightly into the thin, gray mist, through which I walked to the little sea marsh cottage. And this morning Simon had climbed up the steep, garret stairs, with a bunch of the silver tresses of tho “Grandfather Graybcard,” which was now ripening about the edges of the woods, and ventured to pass an opinion on my work without ever looking at it. “Simon,”said I,“you don’t know what you are saying.” “You arc right, Baby!” ho said, “I wasn't thinking of tho picture. I)o you know, Baby, you’ve got to turn out of this?” What for?” said I, calmly- sort ing over the clusUrs of‘Grande father Graybcurd,’ to get the silki est plumes. “I’ve heard that be fore.

Don’t you want to come?” “I should like to,” said I, wist fully, “but if that picture is to go io the autumn exhibition there’s na time to lose.” So I settled to iuy wotk after Si mon bad whistled his dogsuway and clattered down tbe stairs. Tbe morning had been clear and golden bright, but at noop,,when I sitt down in tbo deep sill of tho did garret window to read an odd vol ume of “Anne of Gelersteia,” and hat my lunch, I noticed that dark rent apart by some untoward acci dent, uobodv knew how, many vpars ago, thereby banishing it to this unfrequented region. Aud I us ed to fancy Hint she looked nt me by tunes, with a curious, icy gaze, as 1 wont to and fro. “Hush!” i said, suddenly, to my self, with a tin tube of ultramarine in ray, hand, “there are footsteps down stairs. Somebody is moving about there.” I knew it wasn’t u ghost, Aunt Battersley to the contrary, not withstanding. I did not believe it was burglars, At the same time, however, I wanted to get out of the house ns soon as possible, for dusk was deepening into night, and f knew that the tide, rising swiftly over the marshes, would roar like a wild wolf arouuil my path, if 1 did not make haste. Most probably the heir-at-law had arrived. Well, let him come! Silently as u shadow, I glided down the hack stairway to the lit tle side-door, which was my usual mode of egress and ingress; but, to my amazement, there was a pile ol trunks heaped up against it, which I could no more alii- than ] could shako the foundation of the tower of llahel. And to reach the front door I should have to cross the great hall, with its waxed floor, whieh was already illumined by the glow ot a Gipsy fire built in the monster lire place in the sitting-room. “No,” said I to myself, with a hasty survey ot the tightly shutter ed windows, whose bolts and bars were tightened by n year’s corrod ing rust. “I must just go back to the gurrcl and hide tlicre.” In the midst of my perplexity, a sense of tho ridi iiilousncss of my position dawned upon me. I laugh ed all to myself as i glided noise lessly up the stairs, groping iny way in the dark. “Cousin Battersley," I said to mysell, “you don’t know how near you nrc to one of your relations. Tho chimney smokes, does it? Well, I only wish it would smoke you out! Damp down there, is it? I only hope it won’t give your old hones a new lenso of rheumatism!" It was so dark up in the garret now, that 1 could not -even tell whether my great grand aunt’s eyes were watching me or not. Tliero was just a “glimmering square”|Wherc;the hall window was, u moaning rustle of dry leaves against Hie mossy, shingled roof, and a herd of mice pattering across the floor. I sat ut the head of the stairs nnd listened, with my chin in my hands. “He is sending his servant to the inn for something in the shape or supper,” I thought. “All! he don’t know that the inn is three good ■riles olf. lie hasn't a bad voice— it is low and pleasant. I’m not sure but that he speaks with u Blight foreign accent. That 1 don't like. In my mind, Americana should be Americans. Now he’s making coflec. And it smells deli cious! Dear mo, 1 didn’t know be fore how hungry I was!” Here I descended two or three I steps. "1 wonder what lie is like?" I thought. I’ve a great iniud to slip down fanekty dead gold ot tbo hickory boughs. And long before it was night the gathering gloom warned me that it was time to desist of my Iahp.r«. I began to put array toy thin in a like would mamma say? And Simon? How good that cotlce does smell! And the chimney don’t smoke any more now.:’ Softly 1 crept down. Goblin, like 1 glided across the hall and peeped around tho big mahogany door, which stood conveniently ajar. T'iie oid room was all in a glow of ruddy light. Close to the hearth, whose blazing logs cast so bright an illumination around, a wooden chair was drawn up, and there sat a young, handsome man, leaning thoughtfully hack, as if his dark Spanisli ey< a saw far beyond the leap of the flames or tbe columns of blue smoke. ^ ^ He isn’t Old Crab Battersley clouds bad tlrept over tb(tsk}’.'p>*t all,” said I to royscif. “He’s an- uneasy !

The hero enjoyed the erfe shadows that peo-Tof the romance stooped to remove pled its djjm- recesses,'-'the elm-jit , and tn the change of position his boogbs ayslrjst tbe panes, eyes unexpectedly met mine. tho ereekTng groans ' . scorned' 1 took refugo In instantaneous flight, Lut I was too late.

My captor haatenod to tho res-. cue. , “Arc you hurt?” said lie, with solicitude. * Yes!” I cried out sharply. “I* have sprained my ankle.” < ' “But—1 beg your pardon!” he said. “I—I don’t quite kqpw.wbo„ you are, iior how you came here!” “I am Barham Battersley!”said I, defiantly. “My cousin?” with a sodden brightness in tiis face. ,, .; "Yes, I suppose so!” I ungra ciously admitted. “What can I do fur yon?” be’ questioned, earnestly. “You can let mo nlone!” I .oried > contracting my brows, as a. fresh apasin of pain thrilled my nerves. He looked at me, half smiling. “I could I suppose,” said he'; “but don’t you think t bail better help you in by the Are, and then go for the nearest doctor, it you will , kindly direct me to one?” , llis'manner was kindly, although a little satirical. ) was heartily ashnmed of of myself. * “I beg your pardoul" 1 said- “You couldn’t help my qlumsinesf, and you cannot prevent tbo pain. Bat—” At this moment there came a vol ley of thundering knocks at the door. It wnsJSimon, come to see wlmt. on earth had become ot me., “it’s raining iiko the deluge,” said lie, “nnd the tide is up, nnd— bcllo! who is this?—anil why me you so pale? Is anything the mat ter? ’ tf V . „ y I don’t know what happened just then. 1 believe I fainted. When I came to my souses, mamma was there, and tho doctor, and cousin Battcrsley’s Italian ser vant, who knew exactly what to do in every emergency. And my iiukic was bandaged up and they lmd made an impromptu - couch for me with two old packing boxes and a scarlet plush railway rug. And mamma was crying 1 and de claring'she did not know wbat she should have done had it not been for Hudolpli Battcrsley’s kindness and presence of mind. We stayed there all night, be cause of the rain nnd the rising tide. We stayed there during tho next week, because Rudolph do- , elared that he never could get set tled without my taste and woman’s advice, nnd Simon’s help. And we concluded to remain there forever, because Rudolph*— / who was the only grandson ot the Cross old kinsman who had sued us and was since dead—assured us that he saw our shadow of right in bis grandfather’s claim, Bupreuio court or no supreme court; and that he -should return at onco to . Switzerland, if we didn’t agree to , live on there, just as if there never had been any lawsuit. '' “There!” cried Simon, laugbingr “Baby lias always been sighing for . a hero of romanco, and I guess she has lound him at last.” But when Cousin Rudolph told me, Just six months afterward, that - lie could not be happy without I would promise to become bis wifu, I could scarcly credit my own ears. “It’s because you want to settle ' - the family distensions,” said I, at- most inclined to cry. ‘■No. it isn’t,” said Uc; “it’s be cause I love you, Baby,". . >ir _ # “But bow can you possibly core for me?” said 1, with a sudden burst of humility.
