THALIA'S LOVER.

"What an industrious little thingyou
are, Thalia! |, for one, fear that if
mamma relied for her three quarts of
berries upon me she would have to do
without
So saving handsome Ida Minturn
leans her head upon her white hand
while she watches anguidly her ,Ous-
in's busy movements.
1t is sweet arch face that Thalia
lifts TO her as she smilingly answers
Tired already? Ida, | do believe you
were born 10 be Il dronc in the hive.
Everything seems to weary You except
going topartcs and"--
Flirting, supposcyou would finish
with. Well, You are not far wrong;
and, by the bye, Thalia, have found
Il new and delightful subject upon
which to try my powers of-fascination.
Pa should have thought twice before
he engaged such II handsome ovcrsccr.
To be sure, he is rather cold and dis
tant; but you'll see yet how expressive
| | can make his dark eyes look
A delicate pink rushcs to the
Younger girls fair face as she springs
TO her feet, almost dropping her basket
of berries.
"Ida Minturn. am ashamed of YOU,
Indeed, was going to finish my sen
tcnce in no such way. dctcst the very
word Irritation, and do not believe
Mr., Holmes would stoop TO such Il
thing
"Thalia, how seriously you do take
things! Ii you could only see how dra-
matte you IoOk-gOry, Outstrctchcd
hand and all! But here comes Mr..
Holmes himself. | believe | will tell
him of your enthusiastic defense. |
doubt not but it would amusc him."
"Oh, Ida please don'tr'
And Thalia's cheeks grow to the
deepest rose rs she pleads.
But there is no need for fear, as,
with merely Il grave, courteous lift OF
his straw hat, Mr.. Holmes passes on
to where, in distant part of the field,
some men are engaged at their work.
The golden summer months llit
gently by and it is not long before it is
plainly evident TO all eyes but Mrs
