extending her hand to Arthur, and cast

who happened to be glancing at tn
other members of the group.

turned Mr.. Darcie.
Yes, 1 am quite well, and happy,
said Ada.
"My brother and 1 came over las
night to see if you had arrived. and whel
we saw your name In the register deter
mined to call before any one else shout,
come and deprive us of the pleasure o
showing you the lions. !"

reasons than one. Do you see that

Nothing has filed me with deeper
regret than that missed the pleasure Of
an acquaintance with the young lady
who so quickly and fully took by storm
the dormant hearts Of FL, " said he, bow

read with so much pleasure" replied
Ada, returning his bow and casting down
her eyes to show how effectively her
long. curved lashes swept her check.

"Now, there is where you gentlemen

there is my friend, Miss Glare, to whom
see your brother is all impotence to
be introduced. She is studying hard
for degree In the University of G.. No
one would think so to see her in society.
But let me introduce you to her and to
the rest of the gayest company of young
people that ever got together for good
time"
She led them over to where Lucy and
Florence sat conversing with Mr.. Clare
and her brother, Mrs. Glare having be-
come deeply interested in "Daisy Mil
Ter, " which was creating such stir in
literary circles. Introducing them first
to Mrs. Glare and then to the girls, she
took them last to the two young men,
who clasped their hands warmly and
said, IF you will join us we will give
these girls enough of pleasuring this
week to make them glad to rest awhile,
any way"
. "We shall be most happy to join You
and give you all the assistance we can.
but hope the ladies will not be surfeited
in week. We think of making tour OF
the Northern States and Canada during
the hot summer months, and if you can
make it convenient to take trip Mt the
same Tune IL Will give us supreme pleas
ure, returned the younger Mr. Darcie.
Turning to Lucy, he said, "Your fall
term does not begin until September,
does it, Miss Glare ?"
"No," she replied, "not until the
second week of September. There
would be plenty of time to see all the
places of interest. Think of visiting
Niagara, the Thousand Isles, the classic
Hudson, home of my favorite author,
Irving. Will you not go. mamma ?"
II will think about it during the
week, my child, and let you anow, "
smiled her good-natured mother. "You
know | must write and consult your
father. But it is getting late, and we
have not arranged how we are to pass
the time while here"
Well, the Carnival will take two
days, at least, will it not ?" said Mr..
Vane e,......r.
"Yes. Then it will take another day
to look over the city. Kellogg is here,
and Booth is coming, so think we can
fnd enough tofill up the time, continued
Mr., Glare. What does Kellogg sing
tonight? ?"
Marguerite; one of her best charac-
tiers, and Peakes is Mephisto," replied
the elder Mr.. Darcie. "My brother
and L have already secured box, and it
will give us great pleasure to share it
with you. Miss Vane, if you will do me
the honor to accompany me I shall be
most happy to call for you at eight
And thus one evening was disposed of.
Soon after the gentlemen went off to-
gether, leaving the ladies to talk of
them and of how they should dress for
the evening. Florence said she had
heard Faust twice and did not care to
go again. She and Mr.. Glare had
already decided to hear Won Bulow that
evening. 3f
"Well, how do you like him?" said
Ada to Lucy, as they sat combing out
each others hair preparatory to dress
ing.
80, I can't tell yet. I like him very
we'll so far. He is different from most
young men l have met. He seems to
think that there are some girls who care
Tor something besides tiattery and Cos
sip. However, people always do their
best the first time. After you are well
acquainted and they are less on their
guard is the time when you can, best
tell what they are. But I mean to win
your wager for you if | can. You don't
seem to value your ring very highly,
putting it against.such little book, or
else your hopes of winning are high"
81 didn't happen to think of anything
else wanted Just then. and I was pretty
certain of winning. / can tell pretty
well from the beginning how such mat
ters will terminate. You know I have
been in the field some time and ought to
have little experience. Are you going
with him to-night?"
Yes, indeed. He asked me as soon
as he could with propriety. Mamma and
your uncle intend to stay and talk over
old times; your brother, believe, is go
ing to hunt up an old college chum, and
Jennie and Frank don't care to go. So
