The following day large party ,ascended
Mount Washington, and among them was
George Livingstone. OF course, all the la
dies were charming, and George, who had
by this time made himself agreeable to most
of them, was more on the Qati rire for small
feet than ever. In faesfie had very near>
" arrived at the1odnclusion that the slip.
;pers belonged, to Angeinel Hereford "a
beautiful Boston belle, with whom George
had been slightly acquainted fer some
time.
Miss Angeline was tall, stately bru>
nette, with magnificent hair and hazel
eyes, and bearing Of q Cleopatra. George
would have felt little better satisfied with
the idea of her being the proprietress Of the
slippers, had it not been for the naughty,
almost superciiious, manner in which she
addressed the pale faced young girl that at
tended her as companion. Her scornful
air led our hero to look more particularly
at the object OF Angeline's evident con-
tempts and the scrutiny at once interested
him in the pretty petite dependant. "A
poor cousin, probably" be said to him
self, signing, unconsciously, as he marked
the expression Of sadness around the sweet
mouth, and in the large brown eyes. He
would learn more of her. ii 49, 3sc
Fortune favored him. The young girl,
somewhat imprudently, straved away from
the rest Of the party, and as it was near the
time for returning, George volunteered to
GO In search of her. Angelina demurred--
Mr.. Livingstone need not put himself to
that trouble; one of the guides could 60 as
we'll; But Mr.. Livingstone was fond of
trouble, according to his own account, and
persisted in his original intention. s9r u
The search was by no means a lengthy
one he discovered its object very soon,
hidden behind the shadow of huge rock,
with blood stains on her garments, and her
face contracted with suffering. He sprang
to her side, exclaiming

She glanced timidly into his face.
1t is not much, think, sir. [ fell and
bruised my arm; the shock and the pain
nearly overcame me. 1t will be better in a
moment: ! will bind my handkerchief
Permit me ?'' said George, bending on
one knee, and taking the handkerchief
which she held out to him, he saw his own
initials in corner! Here was discovery!
He fastened it tenderly around the fair
arm, now swollen and ljyid with the cruel
cut it had received, and then without
word he drew forth a fragile naOuchor of
the unknown Cinderella, and bound that

MY handkerchief-how came you by

Z "And how came you by my handker-

between US, or resort to arbitration? z" He
asked little mischievously.
I'VE will settle it, think.

meet you, at last But it seems little
curious th we should have been obliged
to come away up here to the White Noun

streets lie between our respective homes"
'"rhere is wider chasm than mere mons

and a poor governess," she replied little
bitterly.
Not another word on that contemplate

From that time Mr.. Livingstone was
particularly attentive to the Hereford par
ty. Not morning passed that he did not
walk, ride or Sit with them and in conse
quence, Miss Angeline was in raptures-
tor George was most desirable part, and
the naughty belle had no objection to hay>
ing a. splendid establishment of her own,
with the necessary incumbrancc of so hand
some and dlstMgue husband as Mr.. Liv-
ingstone. 't a4i&- -
Once in fit of extraordinary gracious
ness, she confded her plans to her cousin,
and Florence listened attentively, trying to
think herself delighted with Angelina
prospective happiness. The expectant
bride had decided upon white satin, with
a Mechiin lace over dress, for the bridal
robe; six bridesmaids in pink muslin, and
as many groomsne, in white vests and
glOves-the ceremony to take placa at the
Old South Church, TO be followed by a
trip to Europe, if George was agreeable.
Florence-unsuspecting little soul! Sighed
softly, and wondered what had made her
eyes so dim, that she could not see to thread

The time for their. departure from the
mountains was at hand. The ensuing day
the pleasant party at the Glen House wo'd
be broken up-Mr Livingstone returned to
Boston. Miss Hereford and her retinue
were to visit the Franconia range and after
wards return home by the way Of Lake
Winepiseogee.
Angelina, in a most becoming toilet,
waited impatiently in the parlor for the
coming Of George Livingstone. He would
surely come and ask permission to call on
her after their arrival home; and she

tender toward him.. that he might know
