And she looked so perfectly artless aud

ment, and inclined to think that he had
misunderstood her after all. She was so
pretty, too, aud beauty always inclines a

some advances that evening towards the
accomplishment of her scheme. Helen,
too, was deceived, aud thought, "he never
could have really cared for me, or he
would not so soon have cast me aside for
that artful girl" Bitterly she repented
her foolish fl,rtation with young Mosely,
for he was very much interested now, aud
being somewhat obtuse 10 his perceptions,
never noticed when bis attentions became
too particular to be agreeable, and it
seemed to her that Mr.. Temple always
made his appearance just at the very time
when she would have preferred him long
distance off. She was walking one day
with Mr.. Mosely, when the wind having
suddenly become good deal cooler, she
stepped to throw around her shoulders the

companion took it from her, and with a
lover-lke solicitude folded i. closely round
her figure. AT this most inopportune mo-
