I'll be afther disturbing yer morn.

the drowsy God, Sommus. to presid
over his pillow.

After Dick fell asleep be did not wax.
until he was aroused by Larry thunder
ing at the door, and shouting at tn,
top of his voice, "arrahl it is si1
o'clock, git up"
Hastily getting up, he opened the
door, caught Larry by the arm, pulled
him in the room and asked, what il
the name of common sense are you
making such noise for, blockhead?'
Shaking him terribly all the time.
"Yer honor tould me to wake yes at
six, and shure | was trying to do it,
don't yes hear the clock striking?"
did you think I was deaf, idiot?
mo, yer honor, but I was afther
obaying your order"
well, | must say, you are extremely
punctual as we'll as noisy"
IF yer honor pleases, there is a
young ghentleman that has beeninquir-
ing for yes this quather. but 1 would
not disturb yes till six"
who is it, Larry?"
Il think it is the young lady that
leaves this morning, barring she has
grown some, and got intho the wrong
dress seeing he has breechus on"
Show him up, and keep a civil
tongue in your head. if you want to
keep any at all.
THAT l will. How could l coart
my darlint Ann widout me tongue, can
yes tell?"
"Show him up before l take the
head with the tongue"
"Oh, begarrah, I'm of, but hadn't
yer honor better dress, said Larry, as
he left the room. Dick hurriedly put
on his clothes, hearing some one en-
ter, he turned and saw Wilfred Lynn
preceded by Larry who was bowing
and scraping as if the honor of the
room depended on him.
will yer honor be seated? can l
dust yes coat 2"
Larry get out. Sir, this piece of i'm
pudence has been with me so long
that he is grown intolerable," said Le-
Mays, as Wilfred advanced.
Il am Wilfred Lynn, Este Lynn's
brother; we go home to-day. Dr.
Leigh tells me ethat you purpose going
South soon, also that he is going with
you, and will visit us on his return.
l came to ask you to join him in the
visit" said Wilfred, addressing Dick.
Larry had retired to the door where
he was commanded, as Wilfred's back
was to him and Dick facing him, he
stood there making pantomime signs 70
Dick to accept the invitation. >
Il would like extremely we'll, Mr..
Lynn, to accept your courtesy, but l
fear my time will not be my own as /
go on business for my employees" re-
piled Dick.
IF convenient, sir, procure couple
of weeks absence and spend them
with us"
Thank you, Sir, nothing would af-
ford me more pleasure. "
My sister commissioned me to bid
you goodbye for her. She had hoped
to see you in person, but business kept
you from US. She also commanded
me to thank you for your kindness and
to wish you much future happiness.
Dick WINGED a little at this, but re-
piled, Il am glad to have Miss Lynn's
good wishes. Please say to her that
| will do myself the pleasure of see
ing her at the depot"
Good morning, Mr.. LeMays."
Good morning. Mr.. Lynn"
As Will left the room Larry said,
half aloud, ''she is banthering him."
What did you say, Larry?"
"What pretty boy he is, thought
it was the young lady grown in one
night"
Larry, am going to the depot; get
the buggy and drive around for me i'm
mediately.'
That l will, in a trice. Shall l
get rose bud for the lady?"
Get out, vagabond, and do as I tell
you"
Larry left the room, and Dick pro-
oedeed to dress with the greatest care.
He was exceedingly anxious to appear
as good looking as possible this morn
ing. As he gave himself the last look
in the glass, the last touch to his ere
vat, he could not repress vain smile
as he saw almost faultless face re-
hected from the glass, and it is to be
hoped that this vanity will be par
doned; for where is the individual
male, or female. who does not look
with admiration upon themselves when
they are in the privacy of their own
chamber. No one will acknowledge to
themselves that they are ugly no mat
ter how misshapen their features or
form may be. tits not in the nature
of man not be to proud of his person es-
pecially if it be handsome.
Larry announced he was ready with
the h1OSU as Diok was roadV to 90.
