CHAPTER IV.
KATE HAS AW ADVENTURE.
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

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
