Then he turned pale, and hurried into
the house, fearing that the awful news
had killed his poor Perlina
Miss Milkin was in the parlOr. She
had He'd on his approach, and was really
quite faint, and Mr.. Downhill had gone
for glass Of water. Every one else
was ont of doors, and the young fellow
rushed toward her.

Mr.. DoWnhill had returned with the
glass of water
Perlina, not knowing what to do, had
refuge in tears and silence. The gentle
men grew furious, and finally walked
away with each other, with "pistols for
two and coffee for four in their faces.
But this is eighteen hundred and seven
ty-f0ur, aud much is Thought of docu
meutarv evidence. In retired spot
where they could not be overheard,
the hapless Perhnas letters were
produced. Poor little Kolt read with
the bitter agony Of youth the woman's
deni.i OF her love for, and engagement
10 him, written o week after his sup
posed death, and old Downhill gave Il
groan' over another buried hope as he
read the lines On which he was set down
as a snperanuuated creature only taken
notice Of ont If pity.
After this ltly two gentlemen shook
hands They had no quarrels with
each other nov Neither Of them want
ed TO marry Perlina Milkin. She re-
ceiyed two little notes that evening tell
ing her so.
That was last summer This year
Perlina did not go to Saratoga at all,
and Mrs. Gaflerly having dismissed her
chambermaid, it is a matter OF wonder
to the neighbors who the person with
a green barege veil on her head who
rubs the windows can be. 1t is barely
possible that this is Perlina. Mrs, CAT
ferly is a woman of her word and she
considers her niece's chance of matri-
mony quite over.
