Ho Miss Balderstone’s romance was crushed in the bud ere it had attained maturity, and she set out for Brighton to enjoy her well-earned holiday, but not before she had seen to the departure The young gentleman did not look much of a hero, as he stood with drip¬ ping garments in the shallow water, hut in Kate’s eyes he was a Bayard, and when ho said: “As I cannot get in a very much damper condition, per¬ haps 1 had better fetch your hat,” and plunged once more into the river, she thought that such an act of gallantry was worthy of even her idol, Harry Grahamo. “How can I thank you sufficiently for the service you have done me?” she Raid, w ith cheeks aglow, as he stood beside her on the bank again. “By saying nothing about it. Why, It was A bit of fun, not even worth mentoning, only I wish I had the mastiff’s faculty of throwing the wet drops from me. See how the old rascal is rubbing bis nose in the gTass, and I dare say grinning at my moist condi¬ tion,” he replied, with a merry laugh. “But you will come at onco to the farmhouse, where I am staying," she asked eagerly. “I should never forgive myself if you caught cold. Had you not better run on at once? I am sure that Mr. Barlow would be only too glad to—” “Ila, ha, ha!" he roared. “Do 1 look like a tender youth, that a dip in a river on a glorious day like this would lay on a sick bed?” His mirth was infectious, and she was fain to confess that he did not. “Then excuse me if I do not put on toy ccyvt over my wet clothes; and show me the way to your farmhouse, for un¬ less you accompany me, to give an ex¬ planation of my amphibiousness, I shall not dare to present myself. Besides, in your country no one goes anywhere without an introduction, I understand.” “Then you are not an Englishman?” she demanded, in surprise. “Not exactly, though my forefathers were. , I am a Y anltee—a pure, unso¬ phisticated native of the state of wooden nutmegs.” "Al>, I have read Sam Sliclc—you mean you were born in Conneetietit ?” Kate asked, much amused. “And what are you doing in "England?" “Loafing; and until to-day 1 have not got much fun out of the experiment.” Kate was a little mystified by the term “loafing,” which had never pene¬ trated into the classic precincts of Miss Balderstone’s establishment or the genteel atmosphere of Miss Honoria’s drawing-room, and concluded that it must lie an Americanism for hunting for loaves or getting one’s living. She foreboro making any further inquiries On so delicate a subject, for of course, it was no business of hers how the young man earned his bread. It only en¬ lightened her as to the fact that he was a toiler and had to work for sub¬ sistence. Thus, in pleasant chat, just as if they had known each other for years, they walked side by sido till tho garden-gate was reached, and mademoiselle, glanc¬ ing from her French novel, beheld them with intense surprise, and hurried for¬ ward to meet them. “Mmo. Campignon, permit mo to in¬ troduce to you Mr.—, Mr.—” Kate broke down with an embarrassed little laugh, for she did not even know' tho name of-hornewlj- found friend. “Arthur Dunbar,” he said, with quiet assurance, making tho governess a bow which would have been deemed credita¬ ble in one of her own Parisian salons. But mademoiselle was not to be propi¬ tiated so easily. Like a hen protecting her one chick from the swoop of a hawk, she ruffled her feathers and received the young man’s advances with tho iciest frigidity. Not so Dame Barlow; that genial housewife no sooner heard tho story of his brave rescue of her favorite dog than she set about her preparations for his comfort. First, he must go to bed for an hour while she dried his clothes —no, she wouldn't have him parading around the house in any of John’s gar¬ ments, making himself ridiculous—and he muM take a tankard of her famous elderberry wine mulled and piping hot, with nutmeg and a pinch of ginger in it, Of course the ladies occupied a suite of apartments to themselves, and, though they took their meals at the same hour as the farmer’s family, en¬ joyed them in state alone in the great oak-paneled parlor. When the dinner hour arrived, then, Kate was in consid¬ erable perplexity as to how Mr. Dunbar would fare, for she heard him chat¬ ting gayly to the Barlows in the family sitting-room, and knew that he must be 1b a presentable condition, Would mademoiselle recognize his claim to their hospitality? That estimable lady made no sign. The trim housemaid laid the cloth ns usnal for two, and Kate’s heart sank at the prospect of snch ap¬ parent ingratitude. But, if the parlor *hut its inhospitable door on the trader, the kitchen made up for the de j Aoieucy, for jovial John Barlow took a ( pvat fancy to the outspoken man and welcomed him to his hearth I board with open-handed heartiness. “Take thy seat, lad. an’ help theesen. There bean t much of ft spread to-day, lor to-night we have a hav-harve'st - . ana tne women are o'er the big supper; but I reckon fchee'll find enough to sharpen thy teeth upon." A harvest home! Arthur had read about such things, and oh, what a chance was there now for him to see one, if the big-hearted yeoman would only give him an invitation. He was to !. 4 4 w •h^im Ill ft 1 *■' . Mt & JOHN BARLOW WELCOMED HIM. spared the doubt, for tbe farmer, after heaping his plate with a prodigality that would put Dunbar’s appetite to the test, added: “May happen thee never seen a har¬ vest homing—don’t have such doings in thy country, eh? Well, dang ray but¬ tons, if thee shan’t stay for ours this eve, and I won’t take no for an answer —60 there!” “1 shall be only too glad to accept youT Invitation,” Arthur said, delighted, “but had I not better walk over to tbe inn at Chertse.y where I am staying and drive back later in the afternoon, for, if I have formed a right idea of a harvest homo, I shall hardly care for a mid¬ night trip of four miles on shanks’ ponies.” “And dost thee think, lad, that I would have thee do it? No, bide whore thee art, and the misses ’ull gin thee a shake-down. To-morrow ’s a slack day, an’ I’ll drive thee back mysen in the tax-cart.” • that was settled, and Arthur Dun took one step nearer to his fate. In the parlor, things were not pro¬ gressing so pleasantly. Mademoiselle was peevish and Kate was rebellious. It was perhaps the very spirit of opposi¬ tion which led the young lady, as soon as the meal was over, to cross the little lawn in front of the house and join Dunbar and Nellie Barlow, who were sitting on a rustic seat under a giant elm tree, with Ccssar stretched lazily at their feet. “Is not this a charming spot, 3Ir. Dunbar?" Kate said, as she took her place by Nellie’s side. “It is, indeed,” ho responded, heartily; “It seems to me to be an ideal home— the realization of what I have road about again and again and never seen before. I tell you that dip in the river was a godsend for me. I am going to assist, as your French friend would say, at a harvest-home to-night—think of that, 3Iiss Grahamel I never saw but one before, and that was on the stage at St. Louis and very far from the real thing, I guess.” Nellie “It is only a hay harvesting,” Barlow suggested, timidly, “and noth¬ ing like the grand doings we have in September, when the last load of wheat comes into the stack-yard.” “What! Are you intending to remain for our rural fete?” Kate asked, in dis¬ may, dreading the complications which might ensue. “For the harvest home, yes! and I shall stay at the farmhouse all night, so let us make up our minds to be jolly.” Then Kate grew afraid of this young man. His' familiarity was not at all a la mode of Scarborough house nor en regie with the gilded youths who some¬ times called on their sisters at Miss Balderstone’s, so she resolved to admin¬ ister the mute reproof of dropping out of the conversation, a proceeding which by no means tended to check the flow of the offender's hilarity, who kept Nel¬ lie Barlow outraueed with his naive re¬ marks and genial manner. This absorp¬ tion in self gave Kate a chance to take critical observations of the stranger. He was handsome—there could be no doubt of that. His features were well set; his hair was dark auburn and inclined to curl, and his eyes were as brown as Cmsar’s. Then he wore a moustache with no whiskers, and that gave Ids profile a clearer cut expression. But it was, after all, his superb physique which was in an artistic sense his chief attraction—he had the form of an Apollo. She knew she ought to play propriety and check this young man’s freedom of manner, but when she began to analyze all he said and did, she could not bnt confess that there was not a shadow of impertinence about him—his genial¬ ity was the spontaneous outflow of ex¬ uberant spirits, untrammcled by the rigorous bonds of social intercourse to which she had been accustomed. So she allowed his good nature to carry the last barrier of her reserve, and in half-an-hour they , were all „ chatting , as P a .
