which the two George Stanhopes could be

have no doubt, am mistaken for you"
What makes you think 30 ?"
| Many things occur to me now to give
me that impression, which, previously to
your arrival, appeared to mo somewhat en-
igmatical. Instead of the George Stauhope,
| the son of western pioneer, who had moth

lad, inquiring with great earnestness for

humble servant answered to the name, ho
presented Mrs. Ellsworths compliments,
and told mo that she said | must not think
of going to tho hotel, but must come right
along with him, as they should keep tea

the thought of my being so great person

arrival precede mo in that way, hatterod my
vanity not IA little. You cannot imagine
how humble feel now"
"Yes," returned Stanhope, nit may be
well Said, oh what fall there was = But
what is your opinion of the ladies :"
Why, Anatasia is a beauty, and she
knows it and Ellen-she is ono of those
lovely bewitcling little sylphs that always
seem surrounded by halo of light and
Joy, without tho least consciousness of be-
ing anything more than a very commonplace
little maiden, who has no business to expect
to be admired by any. one, or even scarce
thought Of"
"Ah," said Stanhope, al SEQ that you
have more than cousinly regard for this
wild rose, with the dew of tho morning still
lingering in her heart. 1t will, therefore, be
of no use for me to think of her whero you
are"
q am glad you think so, for should not
like to have you for rival. Leave Ellen
for me, and you are welcome TO tho super b
Anatasia"
"YOu are very generous; but there's no
hope for me in that quarter. Don't you see
in what scorn she holds me p
"She will cease to do that when she finds
that you are tho real Simon Pure. Her
scorn will then be transferred to mo-"
"Yes, have no doubt but that she will
perceive that have solid attractions which
she, at first overlooked. shall, however
just let her see that valuo myself as highly
as she does my gold. And now think OF
it, George, want to know what kind of ac-
commodations you have as to lodging Z"
"Good enough for prince"
"Is there room enough on the floor for
me to spread a blanket?"
PLENTY; why do you ask ?"
Because was put into little room last
night, where nothing but salamander, OF
to say the least, an inhabitant of the torrid
zone, could have existed. So leaned out

stepped out upon the piazza, which found

walked till morning. Pity that / was not

You shall have my bed tonight"
"No, all want is chance on the floor. y

tainly lucky fellow in being mistaken for
you. Now l think of it, there is capital
lounge in my chamber, where one might
pass night very comfortably"
"That win DO just tho thing. wonder
if Ellen has voice in the household ar.

"No, nothing more than hand in them
as can find. Mrs. Ellsworth and Anatasia
give orders, and Ellen, with the help of the
little maid-of-a- work, executes them. There
she is now, gathering flowers in the
meadow"
"What light footed fairy she is?
