by comparison with the American metropo-
lis-they arrived in the great city. Daisy
accidentally met Bell Ward, who expressed
herself as being overjoyed at the opportune
meeting. They were almost constantly to-
gether. Bell would have Daisy and her pa
rents much at her home. The two girls had
gay times going out visiting the places Of
note. Bell volunteered herself guide for the
party. One; afternoon, the latter and Daisy
we're riding in Central Park. As usual, Bell
was exceedingly communicative and entbusi,
astic They admired together the many
splendid equipages and elegantly dressed
danes and misses. Suddenly, their attention
was attracted by very pretty turnout, and
especially we're they struck with one of the
disappearance was very peculiar.
"Do look at that red-headed chap, Daisy.
He is certainly struck with you! See how
he watches you? What queer.looking
creature he is |" .. .a... .....
"He is squint.eyed, too" said Daisy, laugh
ing.
DO, coachman, 60 slowly; we wish to get
q fair view of the scenery, and that squint'
eyed chap" The last was spoken in low
tones so as only to reach Daisy's ear.
The "chap" seemed equally desirous Of
having protracted view of that portion of
the park !; as, for some time, the two vehicles
kept pace with each other. The gentleman
did not evince any rudeness, but would cast
furtive glances at the two girls. After few
however, the mutually attracted
parties lost sight of each other in the dense
crowd. .....'...
Daisy procured her outfit for the wedding.
Bell, who was also to be one of Lizzie's atten-
dants, selected her costume at the same time.
We next find them seated in q railway
coach, en- route to N -. Daisy and Bell
were sitting just in the rear of Mr.. and Mrs.
May.
"Well, indeed, everybody has something to
occupy his or her time and attention, except
ourselves" said Bell, yawniug. Couldn't
we borrow that chaps paper pointing to
a gentleman not far of, who held the desired
paper in front of his face so as to entirely con-
ceal it from their view "He must be hid
eously ugly, as he seems inclined to bury his
pate in the folds of that newspaper" con-
tinued she, looking out Of the corners of her
eyes at the object discussed.
"Perhaps there is some news of vital import.
Suppose you ask him if there is anything
taking place" said Daisy.
The paper was brought down from before
the face of the person ridiculed.
"La, Daisl 1t is the red-headed, squint-
eyed chap we saw in the park Do you think
he could have overheard us?
II really cannot say, Bell, but hope he did
overhear your remarks"
They were presently amazed to see him rise
and approach their seat
young ladies, would you like to look over
this paper? You will find some interesting
selections. He courteously handed the paper
to Bell as he spoke bowed and disappeared.
They did not see him again during the trip.
Bell and Daisy were greatly amused at this
