"But Mrs. Burlington will detect you, I

Daisy did so.

The child upon III S blushed wildly,
and hastily said it was time for the next
dance A; upon which, Mr. Curran checked
the flow Of MIS- Bujiington's conversation
by carrying Daisy IF
Are you really Mr.. Joseph Curran's
nephew?" asked Daisy.
"Certainly," said IT. Curran
Daisy looked carefully at him He

look had little eXu:tatiou in it,
''Do you know who the handsome SER

Now, at this IN nment the wrath of Mis-.
Gen. Burlington was arous ed She sat
and looked upon the throng, but mingled
not with them. Now, beside the caller"
who stood mounted on platform behind
the melodeon, and by the side of the
trumpet, was a bottle and tumbIer and
In the bottle was the national beverage,

the room, and ,hen balance to the one
she loves best" This filled the bosom of
Mrs Gen. Burlington with disgust; and
when Daisy and Mr.. Curran returned, she
announced her intention of leaving this
disgraceful scene.' But Daisy leased tor
just one dance more, and Mr.. Curran Sec
onded her and so she went out for the
! Virginia Reel. Mrs. Burlington saw the
figures of ungainly men and calico-dress-
ed bellies go spinning about, and grew
thoroughly glad that Mrs. Crestle was not
present to exult In her discontinue.
Very long indeed the dance seemed to
her, and very much asst ,nlshed she was

why, where is MIR. Curran! ?" she ask
ed; and Daisy explained that he had
been called away. Then Mrs Burlington
rose to go; but Daisy was such long
time getting ready that she grew quite
impatient and the General quite sleepy.
And then, when they were all seated in
the ambulance, Daisy found she had for
gotten hsr fan, and it was absolutely nee
sssary to go back and get it But 1T last
they reached the camp, and Daisy broke
the silence which had Oppressed them with
the words:
"Quite safe Oh. am so glad!"
"Of course we are quite safe, you fool
ish child" said Mrs. General Burlington
"You had better go straight to bed. You
have been dancing too much tonight"
And Daisy thought perhaps she had,
though she did not say anything, but went
slowly, very slowly, to sleep.
"To morrow morning" she thought,
when he comes, as he probably will, to
the Generals cottage with some message
he will not find me there, and that will
dlsappoint him. And when he does see
me he wilt smile from under his mustache
his nnstache Is certainly very becom-
ing-and shall look very blank. How
disappointed he will bet" And so Daisy
began to dream.
The next d y found Daisy very fretful
and disappointed. Cause-her plans had
been frustrated. In the first place he did
not como in the morning; in he second
place, when he did come, in the after
