You might fancy it would be a some.
Nhat difficult matter for him to find pre-
cisely the realization of this ideal but here
fate hcfriended him,--fate, who seemed to
have taken Dr. Huger under her especial
charge aud bad been very kind TO him all
his life. He looked out Of his window, af
ter lie had come to the resolution heretofore
recorded, and saw Amy Minturn tripping
across tile village green.
Amy was eighteen, blonde, blue eyed,
innocent well bred, unpresuming without
ambition, and without originality. She
was very lovely in her own quiet, tea rose
style. Her position was satisfactory; for
her father, Judge Minturn, was a man
of mark in WiudhanI, one of DR.. Hugers
warmest friends. So, having decided that
here was an embodiment of all his unjust.
HAYES" the doctor went over that evening
to call at the MnturG mansion. Not that
the call itself was an unusual occurrence
He went there often; but hitherto his con
versation had been principally directed to
the judge, and tonight there was notice
able change.
Amy was looking her loveiiest, in her
diaphanous muslin robes with blue ribbons
at her throat. and in her soft light hair. DR..
| Huger wondered that he had never before
noticed the pearly tints Of her complexion
the deep lustrous blue of her eyes, the dain-
| ty flower like grace Of her words aud ways.
| He talked to her, and watched the chang
ing color i'll her cheeks, and her ripping
smiles, until he began to think the falling
in love, to which he had so deliberately ad-
dressed himself, the easiest and pleasautest
thing in the world. She had the prettiest
little air of propriety half purdish, aud
hiatt coquettsh. She received his attentions
with "a shy grace that was irresistiby
tempting.
lie went often to Judge Minturn's after
that--not too often, for he did not wish to
startle his pretty Amy by attentions too
sudden or too overpowering aud, indeed
there was nothing III the gentle attraction
by which size drew him to hurry him into
FIJI, of
mo leration. BuI he liked and approved her
more and more He made up his mind to
give her a little longer time in which to be
come familiar with him, and then to ask
her 10 be lis wife.
When he had reached this determination,
he was sent for, one August day, to see
new patieut,-a certain Miss Colchester
He was thinking about Amy as he went
along, Laughing at the foolish old notion
concerning the course Of true love; for what
could run amy smoother, he asked hirnseIf

her face toward him. She wore simple
