"No name for it; let's get out
in the air. I'm smothered-I would
not be girl for thousand dollars

my love; is my trail correct9"
"Quite so. You are complete in
every point; let us advance to the
fray"
And down the long plank walk
which crowns the edge of the long
line of bluffs at the Vineyard, stroll
ed our friends, Messrs. Black and
Bellew, the latter personating a
young lady, for sundry reasons of
his own. Arrived at the "Sea View"
the object of their promenade be-
came evident as a stylish youth
with downy growth of nineteen
or twenty summers on his lip, step
ped from behind q pillar, and
politely lifted his hat.
"Ah, Floyd, we were looking for
you. Allow me-my friend Mr..
Floyd, Miss Merton, (pull your veil

"Divine. Er--shall you stay
long at the Vineyard, Miss Mer-

"Beautiful, sir. ! am fairly in

walks, and such elegant gentlemen.

Mr.. Black smiled approvingly.

"Delighted, am sure. Only too
happy Black" and Mr.. Floyd look
ed radiant as the lady slipped her
arm within his, and nodded adieu
to her convulsed escort.
"Suppose we stroll up the Boulc-
varde, Mr.. Floyd, the moonlight
is SO beautiful"
"Yes, by all means" and arm In
arm our hero moved away with his
conHding attendant.
Mr.. Black hastened into the ho-
tel, met a couple Of fast friends in
the entrance by appointment, and
ten minutes later the trio lay ex-
pectantly ambushed behind the
scrub-oalxs which overhung re-
tired rustic seat near the edge OF
the bluffs. Scarcely were they
snugly at rest when, "Herc they
come-don's breath, bcysI' for Mr..
Black warned them that the victim
was approaching the snare.

ment, and the place that had known
Mr.. Floyd, was vacant!
Miss Merton had three escorts
home and carried the greater part
of her outside adornings on her
arm. "Pd have smothered in three
minutes more, sure !" Mr.. Floyd
never called for his cane, and the
Vineyard has no more charms for
him now. The joke crept into some
of the society journals, and Mr..
Bellew will never hear the last of
it. He never ought to.

That's whats the MATTER.

You may think the word that of
very little consequence.
If you will read on, however, you
will coon see that that is of con-
siderable Importance.
You will see that that that which
is used in the second sentence is
used as a noun. r vF
And we will say still further that
that that that has been spoken of
last in the third sentence is also
noun.
We gave the fourth sentence ont
one time to gentleman to parse,
and a friend afterward remarked,
"that that that that that gentleman
parsed, was parsed incorrectly"
The first gentleman retorted,
"that, that that that that gentle
man parsed, was a clumsy SEM
tence.' .cg
Another one said. "That, that
that that, that that was still
more clumsy sentence lv
A lady present ventured the
suggestion, "that, that that that,
that that that that gentleman made
use Of was a correct grammatical
sentence" rcru
That's enough.

ing place to rest. Allow me-" and
Mr.. Floyd assisted Miss Bellew-
Merton to a seat, and then stood
regarding her moment, finally
seating himself beside her, and re-
posing his little cane against aeon
venient bush. Miss Bellew Mer-
ton sighed and leaned negligently
back in the rustic seat, while Mr..
Floyd's arm crept softly along the
back as he chattered.
"There's much to see here, Miss
Merton. The gayety is becoming
provibial here, and there are many
very pleasant times. Do you love
fishing!" Mr.. Floyd's arm was
quite near now, but Miss Merton
appeared unconscious, and he al
lowed it to fall quite accidentally
behind her; and still she appeared
quite unconscious of the fact.
"Not very much, Mr.. Floyd. /
do not love the water-Oh! Mr..
Floyd really-I"-
Mr.. Floyd begged thousand
pardons, his arm had been asleep
and had moved quite unexpected
ly to himself. He would not Of
course-oh, never, only for the
interest he was taking in Miss
Merton's reply, and he begged a
thousand pardons but yet the
arm remained, for his fair compan-
ion had nestled confidingly back,
and he could not well remove it
then.
"Have you ever been 'buffing,'

here, you know. It's very pleasant,

Mr.. Floyd, your hat is caught in
my hair, / believe"
1t was alarming to see that hat
come with profuse apologies from
its wearer, and Miss Merton
laughed softly as she took It, and
turned it in her hands q moment.
Then she tried it on to see the ef-
feet on Mr.. Floyd.
"You know the penalty, Miss
Melton, of trying on gentleman's
hat. / am afraid / shall insist"
and with expectant JOY, the gentle
mati folded her in his arms, and
tried to lift the little veil from the
mouth beneath. There was q
slight resistance, and then complete
surrender and Mr.. Floyd found
the coveted mouth and covered it
with kisses, amid suppressed glee
from the bushes behind him. Mr..
Blacks delight was intense, and he
chewed his handkerchief in vain
attempts to restrain It.
"Let me raise the veil complete
ly,' murmured Mr. Floyd, as he
hung In rapture over his fair COM
panion. "Let me let the moon
light upon the only face l ever
loved" he cntreated. "One more
sweet kiss, and then I must see the
whole Of that lo~uly face, Louise"
and reluctantly, Miss Merton al
lowed him to raise the lace, and he
pressed her yet more tenderly in
his arms, as he bent TO hnd his re-
ward. A moment of amusement

smiling face before him, and then
