carrying basket Of fruit and followed by
the Senior. The youth bent one gaze upon
her, such as she had never received from
him before. He saw that 1t penetrated her
soul. She answered it, pressing her hand
upon her heart, lie darted into group
that stood near; and gradually but as fast as
he could, withdrew from the garden, and

contemplated with feelings far different
from those with which he had followed II l.
the saloon. lie dwelt with wonder on II
fair stature--its rich outline--its bewilder
ing symmetry. He became lost in franc

native air recalled him to himself Ii wo'

daughter in his arms, returned to her boy

The aged female in the saloon and gar
