know how much longer It will take to
get there"
Miss Flo Van Ruyter was from Bos-
ton, and "admired TO know" great
many things.
Don't be SO absurd, Flol But If
the cadets are so fascinating, / mean
to flirt with that brother of yours-that
Is, IL he is heart-free, of course"
Umph old lady, you're not going to
do anything of the sort. Mr.. Verne is
as jealous as Turk, and you will get
mighty little fun while he Is around"
Who Is taking my name In vain ?"
inquired oppish-looking youth, in
tourist costume, with the least possible
drawl.
He held quantities of novels, wraps,
and satchels, and seemed to be buried
behind mass of flesh and silk he was
trying in vain to support upon his puny
arm.
Ills Miss Flo going to annihilate me
with those killing eyesp or has Maud
determined to break my heart, and de-
sert me for .red-cheeked, tight-laced
cadet ?"
You shan't say one word against
the cadets, Verne Landersdale, for my
brother is one, and some of the noblest
men in our country come from their
ranks"
Granted, Miss Flo /; and the conquer
ing hero of your destiny will be found
there also, l dare say"
CT don't know but that he may"
blushed Flo. Max has a splendid
friend who graduates this year and de-
livers the valedictory. My brother says
he is one fellow in a thousand, and will
adorn any position. ] mean to try my
powers of pleasing upon him, though he
has the reputation of being woman
hater, and I've never dealt with any of
that species of the genus homo before
I shall have to adopt new tactics, 1
fear"
You are all-conquering in whatever
role you choose to assume," simpered
Verne. " Mother, here is seat and
will hold your parasol for you."
Thanks, my dear. Those stairs are
so fearful to mount. declare, it takes
away all the pleasure of the beautiful
Hudson. 1 wonder they don't have ele-
vators.'
They have them at the bar madam" )"
laughed Verne. "You can get leetle
elevated by just stepping downstairs
and taking glass or two."
Ha, ha what wit the boy has i
Verne, get that camp-stool and sit beside
me, and then hand me your glass. i do
enjoy this scenery SO much; there is
nothing in Europe half so superb. All
give me my native land, my dears,"
turning with a condescending smile to-
ward the two girls, "Have you ever
been abroad, Miss Van Ruyterp"
"No, madam but pa is going to take
us next year"
"That is well, my dear it gives such
style and pose to girls Manners
When Verne and Maud get married, I
mean to take them abroad with me-"
Verne smiled delightedly, and turned
to look at Maud, who blushed, pouted,
and pulled Frisky's ears until that poor
little dog, curled away in her lap p,awoke
and yelled for mercy.
Verne ran for stool, and in his haste
nearly upset shabby looking woman
in black who was leaning forward in
her chair gazing wildly at Mrs. Ian
dersdale and party.
All, pardon me, my good woman !"
with an exaggerated, pert bow; "but =
aw-really mustn't get in peoples way,
you know"
A very ordinary speech, and one to be
looked for from such youth but it
caused tears to fall from the faded blue
eyes of the good woman" addressed,
and she hastened to draw the heavy veil
down over pale face with trembling fin
gers. She listened with intense interest
to the light conversation of the party.
Who is this admirable Crichton,
Flo ?'' asked Maud, with as much inter-
est as her high-bred, languid manners
would allow. One of your Boston
prodigies, no doubt. L notice that all
our smart men and women do come
from the Hub, by the way"
"We will sue you for libel, Maud p"
cried Verne, with the least possible an
noyance in his tone. "You don't give
us New Workers credit for much brains,
and it is deuced hard, you know"
Well, should say that you are not
