Rose Lambert laughed derisively.

Rose put on highly .quizzical ex-
preston.
"Now, my dear brother, what on earth
is. the nss Of talking' ABOUT ohaFley Gore
in that way' You have forbidden him
the house forty times, you have forbid
den me to see him just as often, and have
threatened to whip. him ever since he

replied the wrathful young man, land
now am going to act. warn you, if
you care anything for Charles Gore, not
to let him come here again; for if ] catch
him, ] shall certainly give him the worst
thrashing any man ever got in this
town."
And off he went, and banged the door
behind him.
The fact was that Charley Gore was
very much in love with Rose Lambert,
and Rose Lambert was very much in love
with Charley Gore; but Arthur Lambert
was tremendously, prejudiced against the
young man, and took every possible oc.
casion to say bitter things about him be.

:, OF course this only famed the flame OF
of her love for him. There is nothing
like little wholesome persecution to in
tensify love affair, so the more Arthur
swore'his sister shealdn't marry Gore, the
more she declared she would.
As for Gore, he was a terribly lazy ful.
low. He had gone into the Church on
leaving college, only because he thought
parson's hfel IN easy one; 50ut sundry
little escapades he INDUCED in during his
clerical experience created a great scan.
dsl about him. andS when she came into
his property 1T his4athcr'S deathhe found
that even the slight labor OF preparing
two sermons week, aud making pastor
al visits, fatigued him too much; so he
left the church in st. Blossoms, and re.
tired to his old homestead, Cedar Point
> and. settled,down IN the sweet rindolence
of bachelorhood. he sat in his garden
or on'the~ piazza 'thSt ~oterhung the bay
and smoked and read all the fternoon
tor days and days together, until he met
Rose Lambert, when an extraordinary fit
of energy took hold of him, and he rowed
down the bay three miles to her brothers
house every day, and came back in the
evening. :
When Arthur Lambert forbade him
the premises, they used to fix upon va.
rious secludedlittle hooks along the shore
for trysting- places, and continued tc
meet as before. Charley would go to the
house too, once in while; but he was
always liable to discovery, and then there
was an inevitable 'scene" With Arthur.
"1'm not a bit afraid of him, you know, u
said the indolent ex-pastor, "but these
scenes are so much trouble to fellow
they're too much like work to suit me. )
So Rose and he generally preferred tc
meet somewhere out of the house, unit
Arthur finally set his foot down that they
should not meet at all, and the above con
versation took place.
That very afternoon Charley rowec
leisurely down the bay, keeping we'll II
near the shore, till he came to a pictur
esque little spot where two large rocks

Here he grounded his boat, and spran
ashore.
"she isn't here yet," he soliloquized
looking at his watch; "but the time i

He had just got the words out Of hi
mouth when he saw the f1u.ter of a shaw
at the corner Of the rock, and Rose prc
sented herself, looking as blooming a
her floral namesake.
