own bower, and shall not fear her tlvinp
from me then. So, unless Mr.. Wright
comes forth pretty soon, he will not be in
time to make me uneasy" Charley said
laughingly.
"Hc may be found among the noun
tains this summer, Charley. Those re-
tired country resorts are just tho best
places i'll the world for IL Irritation. You
had better follow your bird in her flight,
my boy. Let me see! When do YOU
start Agncsy"
Mother has determined to leave quite
carly-thc first OF Junc, likely. She can
not stand the heat. it cl.,cns her SO much.
You have promised to come in July,
Charley. l hardly think there will be
any one to get up Il Irritation with so
early iii the season. Probably VIC shall
be the only guests for IL month or more"
"Wcll, Charley, | shall be back and
forward, and l will keep You advised as
to the movements. l'ouma depend on
mo" said young Marvin.
"All right, Tom. Thank YOU" Char
ley laughingly said. rs he moved off with
Agnes 20. walk.
The spring months flew rapidly by, am.
with the first days of ofs,lmmer Mrs Mar
vim and Agnes sought their retreat among
the mountains.
Tcm escorted them; and after seeing
them toltably fixed, returned home,
and reported it the "dullcst place On
earth"
SealiIy passed. the tinie unfifs ChaFiicvSs
could 90 10 his nLy-lovc. Then the sea
son WAS :ully advanced, and many guests
were ut the Mountain House; hut among
them none that Charley could possibly
feel the ] ast ulrasincsS about. Indeed
hc quite regretted that there VA. no
gentleman whotc com ,anv would b. u,
al desirable 10 either Agnes or Ecr mo-
ther in his absence However, Ii. Was
$"n relieved OH tl.at subject, by the an
rrt! of All acquaintance OF Mrs. Marvins
w,"m She introduced to Charley as her
$ oe:n'd friend, DR. Cameron The
doctor was Il remarkably handsome man
IF about foity, and of very charming all
'lrr.s. lie eimmcdiitcly became 81 univer-
sal iavorilc
When liar c.:s time f,r leaving came,
h WAS really glad to be able to place
Agnes and her mother under the doctors
charge.
y few weeks after his return to his CITY
home, Charley was nccos;cl by an ac-
4naintancc who had just left the noun
tain resort, with the remark:
Look here, Upton You better take
Il trip back to the mountains, and be look
ing after Miss Marvin There is a gentle
man up there who il very devoted, and
he seems to bc consoling that lady very
cffcctnally for your absence"
Charley laughed, and said he did not
feel at all uneasy. And when his intormcr
mentioned Doctor Cameron rs the dan
gcrous person, he was quite amused. The
idea of tho doctor rivalling him was really
absurd. He was quite old enough for
Agnes father; and really, if Charley had
been ofn jealous nature, he would not
likely have thought one SO much older
than himself IL very formidable rival. He
had promised Agnes to come up again
for few days previous to their return,
and accompany them home.
The day before he left to fulfil his pro-
mise, Tom Marvin came back and call
ing on Charley, repeated the current re-
port that the Doctor was very much
pleased with Agnes
"You better look to him Charley. He
may be Il dangerous fellow for your peace
