But, he was no longer st a tiding, ile had sunk down upon flic edge of of a chair which stood in the porch beneath the window, and sat with one arm resting on the case ment. llis curious cap was slouched over his bi’pAy —his gayly lined cloak \va Bung btick aild, hung carelessly pver. the back of lii.s seat. Cons’ll Fried was w ith -ihc, .and,we boih went directly to the window. The two commenced . a conversalion n|)on their fingers, not i wore! ol’ which was at the lime, understood by me. 1 ft fief wards found that they were re\icw ing by gone seimes. Cousin Fred bad. the reader will reccojlect, omce spoken .to ine ofyliis singular beiiig, soon after bis arrival at 0.-tklatid. But he had said yr intimated to me, that he could not con verse well with him. I was surprised to see the ease with with he now.commu nicated his' 1 thoughts. “'I thought,” said I, “that you, and Newt Wei born did not get on well to gethcr. Didn’t you tell me in Oakland that, you did not understand his, Jgu gaiige. V “ Nor could TANARUS, until Rushton leained me,’’ he replied. “ Frank taught, .me : the mute’s alphabet. lie was brought | up iii the same house wiih him, and could talk io him “ like a hook’’ as the saying is. 1 walclied the two, aud was soon up to it, too. Welborn is Rush ton’s lmlf-bre>tlier. His mother mairicd Rush ton’s father, but there is a vast difference between theYavo men. One is Avhatyou see him to be- —a mule. Soine have Averred that he is a half-idiot, too, hut ’that is.false —lie knows as much as com monfolks, or would know, if his hearing was not defective. The other is the no-’ blest specimen of God’s handiwork that ‘ 1 ever tnef up with.’’ “ What, was this mute doing at tire* ! Military S'chhd! 1” I asked. “lie, cor j tainlv was not a scholar.” “ Oil no. He was there on a visit j to Rusliton. He lives a rambling kind! of lith, I takcrit,; he is here to day and j gone to morrow. Nobody takes any ac count of Ms movements. Ido hot. think ! the hot cl-keepers even bhiirge him any-1 thing for bed and board, tliohgli I pould ! think this one would feel himself oble.egA ed to do if But he is ay oH visitor and well known, I see. Indeed, lialf-fool as some pretend that he is, lie manages to know everybody almost. The life .which ho leads brings him in contact with a great many people, and Rushtoii as sured nto that he was never known to forget a face. Oboe seen, it is daguer reotyped forever upon his memory— : lie recognized Miss Bates and I, kl * though neither of us lmd seen him for’ months, long before We made out avlio lie was. We must have looked like pigmies to him from the’top of these rocks.” “ He. pretends to‘ have rceognizecl Miss Chiifch, foo,”T said, “although he avers that her name is Churchill.” Ah said Fred; surprised. “Does hd think that, he has seen her before?— It will be something worth telling, if we find him in fault on<ie in his life. —; Where does he say that he knew her “ lie didn’t say where he knew her. Fanny Bates assured him at once that he was mistaken in the lady—that her name was Church, instead nf Churchill, and he said no more upon the subject.” “ Strange !” mused the young man as if talking aloud to himself. “Strange; if Welborn is mistaken. I will ask him where he knew her.” The mute had been looking up into our faces, during this brief conversation, with a meaningless kind of stare. He was watching the motion of our lips, hut I did not suppose at the time that lie ‘Copy right secured. “ principles NOT MEN,” com pro! tended a word that either ot us! ] had uttered. When cousin Fred asked! ! him what- lady lie had seen, in company ; ] with-Miss Bates the night, before, he lies ! itated, and sdemed unwilling to answer, ! Did you evej’ see her _ before t” ask jedlhtoyoung man. The mute ; did not j seem to .comprehend his question, lie i put on a puzzled look, and made an evasive replv.! He. said that the ladies were all pretty— he- could hardly tell one from-{mother. P That’s not so, I know,” said t In* !-questioner aside to roe —'“he is either ■I trying to he mysterious, or he be half a ! fool, as all the World dec bares him to he. ! But my word is out, to go-on a hunt this morning. 1 promised that tall, d?vrk, ■ tlis'CDnsolaie lover vernier, who was s,o j wofully disapjiointed 1 fist evening at tile ruins, in not finding Misfi Bates there, ! that f would take n stroll- tiris .morning with him.
