"Well, Hill, you ought TO be fatterad,
said Albert Grant, coming into the offire

hand. II mentioned you to cousin of

about you. tell you she is a beauty,
and quite belle, too, She is coming To

Albert Grants cousin came and Harry
was invited to an evening party TO meet
her, but judge of his surprise, IN being
d, to find himself face to face
with Valera Ray. She smiled cordially,
and held out her hand, but gave 40 otker
sign that she recognized him.
Days passed, and they were constantly
thrown together, and he found that he
could not disguise the fact that he loved
her.
One evening he determined to pay a
special visit to Albert Grants, with
view of honoring the young LADY with a
declaration Of his sentiments.

sorting in it card containing tender,
suggestive aud fattering cabalism, such
as love is wont to prompt, lie started, and
soon found himself within the lawn that
surrounded his friends residence.
The sun was bidding adicu to day with
a smile of crimson glory, and the bre yes
were taking advantage of his departure
TO steal ithout remurse,and scatter with
out stint, the odors from flowers that
blushed the more on account of the theft.
Gn the opposite side of the lawn he
saw Valeria's form, slowly making IT'S way
along one OF the summer paths tn It wound
amid clumps ofshrubbery or were frInged
with gold aud purple bloom.
Sight of the loved object, beautiful as
the flowers with which she coquetted
penslve as the evening, center ola picture
worthy of everlasting study, caused him
to halt in admiration. He would not dis
turb that mood, nor mar the scene,by in
truding himself. The winding path and
continued abstraction would soon brine
her TO where he was. And what spot
more fitting for lovers meeting. The
vines clambered closely on the arbor over
his head. At his sid was "a rustic seat
a seat fortwo, no more. Had not Cupid

for hIm-and---And her?
