By KATE WILDFIRE.

Andy Cavender was sad triner in his
way. There was scarcely maiden in the
village TO whom he had not made love at
one time or another, and all as pleasant
piece of pastime not seeming 10 under
stand that maldens' hearts were tender
things, and liable to be hurt in the handling.
Many tears had been caused 10 flow from
beautiful eyes, yet, if he knew of the fact,
it did not appear TO give him serious con-
cern. There was always smile on his
lips and light word on his tongue.
AT last, however, Andy's heart received
an impression. The image OF a fair young
girl rested upon il not as of old, like the
image in speculem, TO pass with the OBJ
ject, but like the sun fixed image OF Da-
guerreotype. Strange fact! the fckle,
Iight-hearted Andy Cavender was in love !;
really and truly in love.
There had come to Woodland 10 pass
few months during the warm summertime,
city maiden, whose charms were too po-
tent for the village flirt. He came, he saw,
and was conquered. 1t was soon plain 10
every one that it was all over with Andy
Cavender. Kate-the lively, witty, dar-
ling Kate Archer had subdued him with
her charms, though all unconscious herself
Of the conquest she had made.
Bnt others saw what she perceived not,
and looked on curious for the issue.
sWhat do you think of this, Jenny y said
Kate Archer, one day, to young friend
with whom she was spending her summer
in the country, and she laughed as she
spoke, at the same time holding up letter.
'News from home' remarked Jenny,
smiling.
'Oh, dear, no! It's love-lelter.'
'Whatp
"a real rightly love-letter, and, as they
say, nothing else. Oh, dear To think
that l should have made conquest already.

piled the laughing girl. Then, as she un-
folded the letter, she put on grave coun-
tenance, and, opening the pages TO The
eyes Of her friend, read aloud
'My BEAR Miss ARcHER.-Will you per.

you, became an ardent acinirer, TO lay hi
