going to her, ahd When DIR. Cole call
cd in the evening she was still there.
Pansie had entirely recovered, and
there was only the small piece of
plaster on her forehead to tell that
anything unusual had occurred.
DR.. Cole made himself very agree
able during his short visit. After he
left, Robert Morton came, fully de-
termincd to- speak on the all impor-
tant subject, but there was Jessie
with her incessant chatter. She re-
lated to him, the event Of the morn
ing. and dwelt particularly on the
Doctors visit that evening.
He is coming for Il bouquet she
said, but / think he only wants a
single flower, and that is, little
Pansic Don't you think so too
Robert?' she asked.
No, do not, he replied. IF he
asked for a bouquet, he certainly
wants more than one flower.
Robert was dissatisfied with his
visit that evening, and did not call
again for week.
DR.. Cole die not forget 20
come for his flowers, when Pansic
was nt her mornings work in the
garden; and after that, his visits be
came frequent.
The summer had passed and dur
ing the balmy weather in October,
an excursion was proposed after
autumn leaves.
Robert came to invite Pansic ia
ride with him, but he was too late;
she was already engaged to go with
DIR. Cole.
He had intended, to have had mat
tcrs settled during that ride, and he
was again disappointed.
What shall l do! he thought. I
have loved Pansic all my life, and
what right has this DR.. to come be-
tween us? He may take this ride
with her, but the next evening he de-
tcrmined to know his fate.
He made the call, and Pansic could
not fail to notice his embarrassment.
She had to do all the talking.
Why are you silent Robert:' she
asked. You look rs solemn rs Il
graveyard
just as he had ncrvcd himself to
give uttcrance to his thoughts, DR..
Cole came in. He could not sit there
and hear the Doctor converse SO
pleasantly with Pnnsic, so he took
his leave
The Misses Barnard noticed the
Doctors visit. What does he mean
by going there so oftcn!' they asked
Aunt Hannah.
'Pansie is sweet gal, ant. smart
one, she replied, and suppose he
is pleased with her company. One
thing is sure, their acquaintance was
all accidental, and now he goes there
of his own free will
After the autumn leaves had been
pressed, they were to he made into Il
picture, and DR.. Cole was assisting
Pansie in arranging them, when
Robert entered the room.
See how beautifully the Doctor
has arranged these leaves she said
to him.
i suppose any one else could do
the same said Robert.
Here are q plenty of leaves, will
you make e picture for me?'
No. If I should try to make one,
| do not think it would please you.
Pansie found herself thinking
very often of DR.. Simpsons assistant.
She was pleased with his viz it's, and
had learned to know his step, when
he came on the porch.
Roberts visits became very rare,
and he would plead business engage
mcnts, when asked the cause of his
absence.
Spring had clothed the trees and
shrubbcry with their vesture of green.
The birds were singing, and the air
was fragrant with the breath of flow
