night"
She made no further objections, and
with the water melon poised on his shoul-
der he walked by her side, neither speak
ing word, till they reached the gate of
the Seminary grounds. There she stop
ped and turning, extended her hands for
the melon. As he gave it to her their eyes
| met a moment, and their mutual appre-
citation Of the humOr Of the situation eX-
pressed itself in an irrepressble smile that
seemed instantly to make them acquaint-
ed, and she responded almost kindly to
his low good evening"
Amy came home iubilant next day.
LIMA Maynard had invited her to her par
ty, and had been ever so good to her and
there was nobody in the world like Lima.
Arthur listened and said nothing All
the next week it was the same story OF
Lina's beauty, good nature, cleverness and
pertections generally, and above all her
goodness to herself, Amy Steele Lima
was indeed fulfilling her promise with
generous oVer-meaSure. And after once
taking up with Amy, the sweet simplici-
tY and enthusiastic loyalty Of the child to
herself, Won her heart completely. The
other girls wondered, but Lima MaVnard'S
freaks always set the fashion, ana Amy,
to her astOnishment and DoundlesS de
light, found herself the pet of the Semina-
ry. The little blonde, Lina'S sweetheart,
alone rebelIed against the lew order of
things and was turously jealous, for which
she was promptly sIuhbed hy Lima aud
Amy taken into her place And mean
while, Lima caught herself several times
Wondering whether Arthur Steele WAS
satisfied With the way She Nas keeping
her pledge.
1t was Wednesday night and Arthur
was to return to New York Thursday
morning. Although he had walked the
streets every afternoon and had met near
ly all the other girls at the Seminary, he
had not seen Lima again. His mother,
whom he took about :; good deal on pleas
ure drives, seriously wondered il the
eagerncss of city life was really spelling
his faculty for leisurely pleasures. He
always seemed to be looking out ahead
for something, instead Of quietly enjoying
the passing scenery ltc had consented
to accompany Amy to a little church So
ciabe on the evening before his departure,
1t was a species Of entertainment which
he detested, but he thought he might pos
siblv meet ina thari a. Amy h3d Said
some Of the Seminary wirls world be pres
