rate for the night.
The question brought two or thre'
early birds, who were Fastening to thei'
tents, back among the rest of the com
pany to discuss some new pleasure o
sport for the next evenings entertain
ment. Several plans were suggested
but nome of them met with the approx
al of the whole party.
"Mr. Carlson you have as yet sug'
gested nothing. What do you think ii
would be pleasant to do tomorrow
night" asked one of the young ladies,
~, Miss Nary" answered the young
man addressed, who until this moment
hod been leaning indifferently against
a tree. II am going to the village to-
morrow, and probably will not return
until the following day"
The faces of the whole party fell,
while it was evident from their tones of
regret that Mr.. Carlson was a great
favorite in camp.
"Mr. Carlson must have found some
modern Maud Muller, who offers at
fractions much superior to ours, else he
would not make such frequent journeys
to the large metz opolis of Meadville. "
This remark was made in a very sarcas-
tic tone by a young lady who was stir
ring the dying ombers of the camp fire,
thereby causing a shower of sparks to
fly around her,
The blood mounted high into the face
of the gentleman addressed, and reach
ing out his hand to brush off a spark
which had fallen on the young lady's
dress, Mr.. Carlton said in a low tone:
Miss Thurston, what matters it toyou
if / go or stay"
But before his question could be an
swered, Oarlson's sister cried petulant-
ly: ooh, friends, let him 60, He told
me that he had an appointment, and
Arthur will never break an appoint
ment, no matter how trivial, unless,
perhaps, for a wedding Or funeral"
"WelI, a funeral We will not have,
even To keep your charming company,
Art cried q Dovish voice. We might
have a wedding, the owner of the voice
continued: Il wouldn't mind being
party to that myself" and the speaker
looked m~ischievously at one of the
ladies, who colored deeply and walked
away in seeming anger.
@Herel here!" cried all the gentle
men, laughingly. who viii volunteer

c0unt2s
The boyish voice spoke again:
mo one loves ron well enough, Art.
to be married for you but me, and |
suppose / can't be a wedding ali by
ayself."
Il viii help you out in that, Cousin
John" gayly cried Miss Thurston; II
have been meditatin0 marriage for some
time, and this is the first opportunity
well" she said, rather he~sitatingly,
~this is the first opportunity which /
have cared 10 embrace"
4But. Margie." replied her Consin
John, as if greatly perplexed, you see,
not anticipating this event, and never
having been encouraged by you to con-
slider myself a candidate for such honor,
Ihave spoken to another girl upon the
same subject"
Every one joined in the laugh at
Miss Thurston's expense but Arthur
Carlson. Miss Thursron," he said,
when the laugh had subsidad, "you
have been Tilted; ALLOW me TO offer o
PREPARATION. If it is only the opportun-
itY you care 10 embrace, . change of
groom can make but little difference.
