as you say?" You have known
me such a little while"
She hesitated charmingly, and
Warmers heart was all in a futter

His graceful proposal was sud-
denly and cruelty cut short by the
announced entrance into the room
of a charmingly pretty little girl,
whose eyes began to frown sngrily,
and her cheeks to flush, as she
caught sight Of the charming
tableau-a dainty, resolute little
woman dressed in a gray silk, and
little satchel and shawl thrown
over her arm.
What in the world does this
mean, Bessie? Is it possible-is it
possible, that after all have said,
you have been guilty Of this again?
Hush, not a word! Take off my
dress and jewelry, and pack up
your clothes, and I'll pay you your

Doubtless this young gentleman

man wrenched himself away, and
betook himself to his room, where,
in FIVE minutes, he had made up

the comical thing leaked out as it
was sure to do, he would make his
peace with Daisy who after all,

priceless, fawless pearl, that it
would be his honor, his delight to
wear.
So he started of, more eager and
anxious than ever in the whole

The sea-breeze was sending sweet
salt fragrance into the beautiful
little parlor of the little Swiss cot,
tage on the cliff, and Daisy in her
soft tissue dress, was looking
charmingly fair, as she sat on a low
hassock at the open window, the
lace curtain falling around her like
a summer cloud.
Mr., Mostyn was walking up and

fine face, that Daisy did not see,

his voice the girls heart throbbed

He was on his feet in second

love me, Daisy, yo9mean?"
