TO see her thus carly in the morning, as
the school was at some distance from the

patiently as she could. No sooner were
we outside the door, having seen Grand
mother safely under the charge of the
clergyman who always walked home
with her, than Sue said
Come quickly, and pull down your veil
What is the matter, Sue? said /, are
you crazy?
Oh, Kate she replied, what shallwe do?
That man is in town.

Charles Riggs had indeed kept his prom
ise Of doing nothing further upon the sub
jcct; but Tom Norris, orc Of tae older
boys, who should have known better
thought it would be 'splcndid FIN" to
carry on the correspondence. Therefore,
on his own responsibility, he wrote let
ter 10 Eugene, addressing ii TO him in bis
full name, and saying that the writer was
one of the young ladies with whom he
left his card in the car on such date, and
that she would be very glad to see him at
her fathers house at his earliest conyen-
ince, and signed the dclectablc cpistle,
Clara a. Riddell.
Very fortunately the initials Of the or
iginal advertisement were not ours, or |
do not doubt our names might have
been brought in. Eugene replied at once,
that he was delighted TO renew the ac-
quaintauce Of the young ladies', whom he
had the impudence to say, he had greatly
admired at distance and that he
would arrive at Masters on Saturday
night, stop at the hotel, and call on Miss
Riddel as soon as he could the next
morning. Imagine my CONSERVATION
Such a state OF affairs did not dare 10

she had done about it, aud also how she
found out the matter. She said that Charles
had discovered the CORE -pondcnec and,
IN spite, Of TOMS threats had fastened

suit of bis though less scheme. By his adj
vice, sho had called in consultation Mr..
Smith, one Of the professors, a quiet but
very firm and decided young man, who
had listened aiteutiyely to the story aud
aner promising, for sues sake and mine,
not to tell the Principal Of the school, as
we did rot wish the story to be publicly
discussed, he agreed to cai upon Mr..
Filz Harris at the hotel as soon as he ar
rived and ten bin il was al a trick playcd
upon him by the boys, and that the
Young ladies bad nothing to DO with the
affair In any way; at the same time ad.

more advised that sue aud / should also

Harris might be q disagreeable person to
