Il say Lefty (Letitia, / mean) I've

You are?'
I'm sorry, you know" began Tom in a
/ bungliug sort of way. THAT I'LL lost my
temper, but couldn't help it
You were extremely rude, answered
| with dignity.
And YOU? what were you asked Tom
! with a laugh. You'd better accept my
| analogy with grace, Lefty, before my
| humility dies out altogether. It's safe not
to last long. Go and put on your hat and
tippet.
Your bonnet and cloak, if you like that
| better. OF course Iishy, know that it IS
| simply idiotic for q man to lose his temper
with a woman
That is true
"A woman may do what she likes; il is
| all silly childishncsS, like the scratching OF
a kitten. or the anger of a young canary !!
| 4 man shouldn't mind, if he i anything of
q fellow, and, Ut course, he doesn't mind

My dear Tom asked with some sar-

lonely child, and-dOn't contradict, Ti>hy
and pity you and want to cheer YOU up.
Beside. YOU are not bad looking. though
YOU are my cousin There's soft solder for
, YOU. Why. you have been taught in books,
Lettia. that wOmanS beauty i the main
spring of mems great deeds. What poor,
. little weak hand il is" added Tom, inco-
herrntly, taking my feeble member in his
large, brurzed palm.
Il don want il kissed, though" | said,
angrily SnatChing it away just IN time to
/ avert the catastrophe. How dare you,
. Tom"
IL dare do all that may become a man, y
replied Tom, grandilOIuently DO go and
dress, Lefty. Better drive with cousin
afternoon and only the stalled OK Oh cold
beef 10 comfort you
WHO is silly now? But you have eaten
no cold beef YOURSELF
Il stuffed myself with late breakfast.
Besides, YOU are like sanity vision-l see
YOU better when / am fasting. Down,
Sambo, down, sir Now sit up the beg; OF
course, YOU must put on your best man
nerS, like your master, for the SAKE OF this
fine lady from London"
NY aunt's dog. cart, was a vehicle in
which she would never trust herself, and
which was therefore kept solely for the use
Of Tom. As for Jerry, she was a good,
quiet beast Her name was originally
Egeria, but the stable-bOy had contracted
and vulgarized this appellation, much as
the Aryan races have amalgamated the
noble Sanskrlt roots into their divers
modern tongues.
Jerry trotted on affably, and my cousin,
as we passed between the high hedges that
wore the green mantle OF spring, dlscoursed
with erudition of the neighborhood.
80 you see, Letticc," said Tom, for the
fifth or sixth time, that, when the old
! squire died, he had got all his property
comfortably packed into a ring fence, and

| Why, Lefty, do believe you are nearly
asleep. You are actually nodding."
You are 500 entertaining, Tom. How

Dog violets You mean"
IL don't cchose TO call them &"
As you please. A violet or lettuce or
by any other namc-Letty, want to ask
you one thing"
| "Wru?'
Why are you 10 contradictions and quar-
| rclSume?'
Il never WIS called qusrrelSome before,
Tom. am never Quarrelsome, except,
peThap,-"
When you are with me- l understand.
| Well, have fellow feeling. You rub me
| up UnCommOnly.
And you annoy me constantly"
IL get angry with you perpetually."
IL dislike YOU, positively. Really, dear
Tom, you don't mind my speaking the
| TRUTH
Not in the least; it relieves my mind.
Do you know have often felt quite alarm
Cd at the strength OF my aversion for you?"
lit can not exceed mine for you"
