No, be must have been joking: ne mus

And then she sighed profoundly, picking
up her sketch-bo0k, and went home, witt
the four-leaved clover carefully hidden be-
tween its pages.
where have you been, child?" asked
Miss Sophy Saxon. "You always do con.
triye to hide yourself when the doctor
here. He wanted to see YOU and asked il
You were vel; and l told him you were
well enough to be gaGyanting over the
ueighborko7i all the afccraC0n."
''Ile wanted to give me dose Of calo-
mel, ! suppose. | hate doctors stulfs, and
docJors-at least" remembering an excep-
t:0n-'fat least most Of them. I've been
sketching the interval; / haven't been gal
wanting, and don't know what it means. =
'Hhat DO Won call sketching? Those
little daubs Of lcad-pencil marks Looks
as if the crows had walked over the paper.
I Dear me IS that the nonsense folks call
! sketching? You'd better been n home
churning: lis Il sight more profitable
Il leave that for country doctors wives.
Br-the-wav Aunt Sophv, your Dr.. Arnold
wear a vic, doesn't he ?"
"My Dr. Arnold! When yen see him
! YOU VIII wish he was yours. What if he
! docs wear a vic. Mis- Is there anything
disgraccful in that y Miss Sophy wore a
false front herself
ooh, no: only il shows that he's no
chicken, rs they say; and for my part,
would rather lie a young mans slave than
an Old mans darling"
~ hicn only shows your bad taste and

! Young or old, DR.. Arnold wouldn't waste
/ a thought on such chit as you-th0ugh
! YOU might thank your stars if he should

! chucllel softly behind her tea-urn.
IF he wouldn't waste a thought on me-,
! why in the world do YOU try to make my
mouth water? I'm sure | don't want to
1 lead him into any such eztrayagance."
| Felicia placed her four-ltaved clover over
| the front door that very night, and sat
down to await the movements Of Fate,
which we know are always stcalthy and
unexpected. Just now certainly, Fate
| seemed in no hurry. / week passed with
out bringing any one in under the spell Of
! the clover leaf. Felicia had begun to de-
spair, when a psrfumel note from DR..
Gray air.red, saying;
''DEhR Miss +ELICIA:-Have YOU made
| the acquaintance Of Or. Arnold, yet 2--poor
man. AMI how larcs il with the tour-caycd

"Nhere do YOU want to go?" asked her
lodMo,hnr in the shape of Aunt @ophy.
Tor taasia had Eot real tle note t. her
aunt: it was too precious for profaue ears
or eyes; and, moreover, she WAS afraid of
Aunt Sophy's opinion Of the young man
Jf the period. She would be sure to say,
''ln my day Young men didn't write 10
their sisters friends unless they had some
thing particular to say for themselves; ani
young men Didn't send their love in that
oiF-haud manner, rs If it wasn't OF the
slightest consequences" So Felicia an
swcT,l,
Mrs. Amcs, a friend Of mine and man.

with her ut 81 eli Beach"
"Perhaps Dr. Arnold VIII happen along
and take You in. lie drives f-1m Dan to
Bccrshcba on his visits, and wouldn't think
anything Of doing a body good turn,
said her aunt.
I'D rather stay at homc," sulkod Fell
cia.
you're a very silly girl
"Perhaps so; but silly girls arc Just the
ones who like to have their own way
Can't You send me to Shell Beach p
coaNingiv.
'.Wel, perhaps Jones VIII harness old
Jolly and drive you over, if you're set uPon
it, and are early enough. And there's the
! stare--go over in the stage, and III send
Jones and Jolly to fetch you home.
Ehat'H be the handiest."
ooh, thank You; You are the best Of
aunts after all, if YOU have gene wild over
that old DR.. Arnold. / dare say you can't
help il; he's bewitched you.'
