High noon, in the delicious, spice- I
mrented woods, Noon, hv the shadows
in the level pastme-lamls —noon, by the
vertical rays that lost themselves in the
crvstal pools of the little brown trout
stream that went gurgling over the hid
den rocks —noon, by the sleepy twitter
ing of birds in leafy nooks, and the drow
sy hum ot insects as they iloat on the
gob leu air.
And Barbara. Weed,as she stood by the
stepping-stones, with the basket of jet
tv blackberries on one hare; brown arm,
and her straw, “Hat’ ’ hanging oil the
other, looked solemnly up at the sun; and
wondered if, by any possibility,, she
could get • home for dinner.
She was a pretty, gypsy-faced girl,
with large, dark eyes; a prolusion .of
dark hair coiled around and arotiud her
head in purple black braids, and cheeks
tinted with the rich pomegranate enne
son of an Oriental clime. \\ bile, around
the perfect dot of a mouth, there were
the stains of berries, and a wreath oi
daisies and buttercups worn carelessly
around her hat, betokened the woodland
occupations of the morning.
She might have passed in her brown
print dress, for u gypsy girl, or a rustic
Flora, or even rosv Hebe herself.
But as sin* stood there, with one foot
on the mossy stepping-stone, , and the
leaves rutsliug solHv overhead, there was
a rush and a plunge, and a magnificent
liver-colored setter bounded down the
hank, precipitating himself boldly upon
the startled girl, with red, panting tongue
and plume like tail vibrating back and
Barbara Weed gave a’liftlo shriek. leli i

dignant excitement.
Alis. Weed was placidly shelling peas I
for dinner, when her grand-daughter J
hurried into the little, low-ceiled “keep- 1
ing-room.”
“Dreary me child !” she said, lilting
up a pair of mild, spectacled orbs, as un
like Barbara’s tropical eves as possible,
“what’s,the matter ?”
“Granny,” panted the girl. “I’ve;
been knocked into tin* water, and all my
berries spilled; and—and he dared to
offer me —money ?”
“ Who did. child
lie—the dog’s master.’’
And then Barbara related the occur
rence rathei more explicitly, and began
to cry, with her face hurried in the old
lady’s lap.
“Js that all ?” said Mrs. Weed. —
“(*ood land! child, it ain’t worth fretting
about. Drv your eves and get on a

“Like a starteled deer,” he mused ns
lie stood, artist-like surveying it from a
little distance, “.lust as she looked a
vea* ago, when Don ami 1 came njo i
heriu that sylvan wilderness. By Jove!
I’d give half 1 am worth to see her once
again.”
“ it’s quite romantic mv dear,” said
Mis* Vi van to .lodge Weed’s beautiful
ad.qded daughter, “lie’s tin* best par

voted to hi* art ! !t is all very well for
' poor people to go grubqinn' away with

Miss Weed—our own little swart-
Nrowed Barbara, transformed by dint of
dress and jewels, into a princess of the
liean monde—languid interest.
“Is lie handsome ?” said slie.
“As Appollo !” .Miss Vi van answered,
(juiekly. “.\nd they say lie is engaged
in painting the loveliest female head this
fall-some one that lie’s in love with, or
engage to, or sometliingof the sort, 1
am really quite anxious to see it, and
1 mean to take you this mroning. it’s
decidedly the fashion to visits artists in
their studios, and I know Jack will be
delighted with the chance of an introdiic
t an. And lie.e conies the carraige now;
so if you’re <piite ready, my love—”
Miss Weed following her friend into
the open barouche, ratlierglad of anew
sensation. For wild littlle Barbara
sometimes found the great city duller
than had been her country wilderness in
spite <d the new dresses, and opera boxes
which Cousin I 'aiep so unceasingly
showered upon the favorite daughter of
his bachelor old ago —the adopted daugh I
ter which he had so uneeremo
tdo isly borne away from the old Con
necticut farm-house, to his Fifth Ave
nue palace.
Miss A ivian had described the young
artist as being handsome as Apollo.
Perhaps that figure of speech might
have been a slight exageration, but Air.
Fitzalau certainly did look very well as I
he stood in his crimson-draped studio, I
with the white light pouring down from 1
the skylight oil his fair Saxon forehead
and the tall figure clad in its picturesque I
painting robe of wine-colored velvet. j
lie courteously advanced to meet til*
ladies as Aliss Vivian rustled in, all
satins and vdvets, and the dusk-eyed
stranger followed, with the slow grace
ful gait of a queen.
“Mr. Fitzallan allow me to present
you to Miss Weed.” chattered the soci
ety belle, “this is the artist of whom I
* V
told von —and, but dear me what is the
matter?”
Fm Jack had sta t l as if lie had be
held an apparition, and Barbara turned
scarlet to the very roots of her hair.
“its the little wood-nymph,” cried
the young artist.
“It’s the gentleman with the ill—be
haved dog’” said Barbara, recovering
her presence ot mind in an instant, while
the roguish dimples began to dance about
the corners of her mouth.
And glancing at the canvass on the
easel, she beheld—her own face!
“1-1 beg your pardon !” stammered
Mr. Fitzalan, more conluseil than ever;
“hut 1 couldn’t help it. It haunted
me; I was obliged to sketch it. But I 11
nil) it out, it you sav so
lie raised his brush, as it to sweep B
over tin* wet surface of the painting.
“jKfop!” said Barbara; quitely. Do
not do that.
“I thank von a thousand times! ’ said
Jack, fervently; while Miss Weed put
her hand into one of the dainty velvet
bordered pockets of her blue side dress,,
and drew out —a tiny gold-piece.
“It’s you is I believe” said she to
the astonished young artist. “But I
shall not give it to you,* I rescued it my
self from the detph ot -the trout brook,
and I think 1 have fairly earned it as a
memento of our first meeting,
i lie turned red.

“With id! my lieart!” she answere.
W In'll Ililmara "Weed went home to
11 io exi[uisite boudoir which eo’isin
Fatej)’ft care had decorated for her, she
sat do\vu%vith her plump cheeks rest
ing in bnfii hands.
j “\\ hat does it mean,” she asked hor
j self, resolutely, “when a girl thinks
I night day and of one porticular man?
W hen she treasures a little thing which
he has once handled, when she feels the
very sound of his voice, does it mean
that she—loves him?”
And Bari >ara sprang to her feet, with
quick motion of angry impatience.
“Oil,” cried she, “1 am a fool, an id
iot a silly, sentimental school-girl ? I
will never allow myself to think of him
again, 1 will ask cousin Oaleptobuy
that picture, so that he shall not he of
feuded longer with the sight of it and
there will he an end of tire whole mat
ter.
But Fitzalau, declined to part with
the picture.
“Not sell it?” said the old million
aire, in amazement. “But I supposed
artists always painted their picture to
sell.
“I am an exception to the ordinary
rule,” said Mr. Fitzalau, quietly.
“Name your price, sir,” said Jude
W eed. “Money is no object to me.
Nor to me,” retorted the artist. “And
no amount of money would buy mv
‘Gipsy Giioon,’ ”
So that Barbara herself came to .the
studio to conduct the negotiation in
which her cousin had failed so signal- !
ly
“Mr. Fitzalau” said they “my cousin
is very anxious to possess that picture,
and so am 1.”
“1 will part with it,” said he, “ olny
on one condition.”
“And that ?” she questioned.
“I wiil exchange it.”
“For what?”
“For the < rignal ! Barbara, mv queen,
mv ilarling little heart’s- treasure, don’t
you know that I love you ? Look at me
dearest ! Speak only one word, to tell
me, that I may hope !’ ?
She did not speak the word—she only j
hurst into tears; but for all that, Mr. j
k itzalan knew that his suit was not in 1
vain

Novels Again
A week or so ago, four lads in New
i York, from fourteen to sixteen years old
| resolved to start to the* Far West to
seek their fortunes** ;Wor long saving
1 they managed to provide their outfit,
; which consisted of one gun, two pari or -
| pistols, one dagger, four horse blankets
(for their fiery mustangs which they
meant to bestride) and twenty cents in
cash.
They met at mid-night at one of the
terries for a start when the leader of the
expedition discovered that he had left
the photograph of his lady love at home,,
and declared that he could not travel
without it, went hack for it.
His mother heard him climbing in at
the bath room window, and gave the
alarm; a policeman arrested him as a
burglar, and lie was marched off to a
police station, where his father recog
nized him next morning.
The story came out, and the boys ta
ken home, wo are told “to he taught
better sense*” We doubt, however, if
the teaching will he successful. A lap
who can reach the age of sixteen with
no other qualification for conquering the
world than a pistol and a dagger, and
the idea gained from dime novels, is
not to make a useful man in
it. His parents are too late in begin
ning their training,
We have often before called atten
tion to the growing ill effects of this
lower class of scnsasional novels and
story-papers upon our young people.
