"But you must" commanded Mis- Dale,
..Do you want her 10 think you're blight
ed blossom? Brush those big drops of
your eyelashes at once and come into the
parlor."
And Fanny Forester decided that 1t was
best 10 obey her friends counsel. =
Miss 0riana Nan Nelsor was tall, brill
iantly.complexioned young lady, who call
ed herself ilvG.and.twenty, who wore hei
hair banged, and generally wore white
lace veil drawn tightly over her face, aiteI
the most approved style.
Harvey Carroll, the handsome village
lawyer, was well nigh infatuated by hel
metropolitan airs aud graces, to the grief
Of little Fanny Forester; who up TO thu
time had betn his iavorte companion.

rolls love bowed our little country girl
heart TO the very ground, and made her
think vaguely that 1t couldn't be 50 yer!
wrong TO commit suicide alter all. Fo
Fanny had no mother, and the rector
honest man, lived in world Of books ant
manuscripts, from which he emerged re
lurtantly, three times day 10 eat his alb
stracted meals.
Miss Van Velsor giggled, tlirted her fan
as Fanny Forester greeted her in low
voice, scarcely even glancing at Harvey
Carroll.
"You're going to the nuItihg party, 10
morrow, Of course, Miss ForreSter?" salt
she. Fanny was about to Sly no; but Hh'
caught lloratiA DAle's warning eye, ant
changed her answer to:

"Mr. Carroll and ]. Ho has depicted TIL

cOlors that really am quite anxious 4
participate in one, do hope 1t won
rain"
20 It won't rain, said Mr.. Carroll.
II don't think II will rain" said Fanny
feeling she ought 10 say something.
"And," Harvey added, III you arc no
provided with an escort, am sure Mis-
Van Velsor will be very glad TO have yoI
Join our party"
"Deligited" chimed In 0riana.

before Fanny could reply, "but Fanny /

Nov Mr.. Lemuel Dale was IN oil
bachelor, regarded Us Uncommon propert
Of all the girls in town.
"Yes," said Fanny, ClusChlng ut tn

Lemuel Dale" And Harry CAROLS cor
science did sting him little aR he met th
glance Of unconscious reproach In poe
fanny's eyes.

himself. "But then she is only pearl, IN
