Lii made the slightest motion OF her
head, without meeting Charles eyes.
Leslie INDUCED in some gay bandinage
with Mrs Grey, and Charlie, though he
felt slightly embarrassed, tried to make
conversation with Miss Lii. She answered
yes or mo" as the occasion required,
and never oncs raised her eyes to his
face.
%Do come and dine tonight, Mrs.
Grey entreated Leslie. @My mother
would be SO awfully pleased. I'll 60
home and get a note from her, II you
think II. necessary"
Mrs. Grey appeared to wayer; then
Charlie distinctly saw Miss Lii pinch her
friend In a meaning manner Many
thanks; I am so sorry, but / cannot posi-
bly, manage it tonight" Mrs. Grey an
swered. ave have so much to do still for
the bazaar"
eli, you young pussl" cried Leslie,
%what do you mean by deserving Us in
this way' 1t is a very poor compliment
to West here"
ave are so busy settling about the ba-
zaar," replied the young lady.
"Well, | suppose you are coming home
some time tonight Shall walk down
and fetch your"
"Dor" said Mrs. Grey; but again West
saw the surreptitious pinch, and Miss Lii
replied hastily:
mo; p,e.sa don't. Alr. Grey will see
me home. do not know when / shall be
ready"
The pony was getting impatient.
sWe must be off" said Mrs. Grey.
"Tommyis in a hurry" And away they
flew.
What do you think Of our parsons
wife, replied Charlie. "By Joye! what a
figure, and what a fit her jacket was!
"She's the right sort" said Leslie. 1T
would be a deuced good job if there were
more like her. Bring 4 lot more of sin
ners TO repentance" and he laughed mer-
rily.
"Who is the young lady with herr"
asked Charlie trying TO speak iuditfer-
emily.
10, that is Lillian Fame, my cousin,
Charles sister"
A weight seemed taken from his friends
breast
cor he said, with a gasp of relief.
"Tiresome, capricious monkey" ex-
claimed Leslie. she must take 1t into
her head al of a sudden this morning to
fly off before breakfast down TO Mrs.
Grey. 1t is all rubbish about the bazaar;
it is not to be for another month. Just
because l wanted you to meet her. She is
capital company and sings divinely. just
like O woman. Last night she asked a
dozen questions, and was quite interested
about you, and this morning tiles off with
out stopping to set eyes on you"
A smile curled Charities upper lip.
"She is lovely" he said. at is very un'
kind Of her"
Naughty little vixen!" retorted Leslie.
In his heart Charlie was secretly pro-
yoked. Leslie's sisters were nice, CHEEKY,
fresh-looking girls, but they could not
hold a candle to Lillian. He was dying to
see her again. He had never felt such an
interest in her before. She did not make
her appearance that evening, and the fol
lowing morning at breakfast she was
still absent. He was piqued. 1t was sim
ply ridiculous for her to 90 on stunning
him on account of a stupid little con-
tretemps that might have happened to
any one.
I'm afraid" he remarked with a touch
of pique, as they were standing in the
hail, waiting to start on their shooting
eX~pedition-l'm afraid it is / who am
driving Miss Fame out of the house"
"Humbugl" returned Capt. Leslie.
"Why should your" Then, as q sudden
thought struck him, he turned on his heel
and went into the morning room.
Mother" he said, task Mrs. Grey to
dine tonight, and make Lillian come
back, whether or no."
As Mr.. West was q gentleman OF indie
pendent fortune, and she had three
daughters, Mrs. Leslie was not altogether
displeased at the pretty cousin having alb
sented herself.
"Of course / will ask them, my dear"
she replied; but they are so busy with
their bazaar that l am not at all sure
shall persuade them to come"
"If you don't" observed Leslie, point
edly, west will fancy you are keeping
Lii out OF the way on purpose. am
pretty sure he thinks so now"
"George!" exclaimed his mother, indig-
nantly, "how can you say anything so alb
surd?'
We'll, take my advise and have her
back tonight" and Capt. Leslie departed
without giving his mother any time to
make a rejoinder.
He had, however, said quite enough.
Mrs. Leslie forthwith put OF her bonnet,
and went down to the rectory. She found
Mrs. Grey and Lillian sitting under n tree
together, making a languid p%retense OF
needlework. Mrs. Leslie greeted both
~afTectionately. "We particularly want
you to come up and dine with US to-
night" she said to the rectoress; land this
naughty truant must not remain away
any longer" smiling sweetly at Lillian.
10, auntie, We are so busy!' cried the
young lady, plying her needle vigorously.
"You must not quite forget my love,
that you are my guest" said her aunt,
with a certain amoun Of dignity, and in
a tone that implied reproof.
Lillian understood 1t and colored deeply.
IL shall be delighted to dine" inter.
posed Mrs. Grey, hastily. And you must
blame me for m%onopolizing 80 much OF
Lilian's time"
Il do not blame any one" returned Mrs.
Leslie, suavely. "But hope to see you
both at dinner tonight"
So, as Miss Lillian had no desire to offend
der aunt, she overcame her repugnance
to meeting Mr.. West, and to that gentle
mans great delight ne had the pleasure
of taking her in to dinner that same even
ing. Two or three neighbors had been in
vited. But although Charlie had m i'm
mense fund Of small talk, and was re-
puted excellent company, he failed alto.
gether in inspiring any interest in his fair
neighbor. She appeared, as she was,
thoroughly uncomfortable, and only re-
sponded to his sallies by monosyllablns.
IL was q glorious moonlight night, and
after dinner some of the young people
went out into the gardens. Charlie
watched his opportunity, and bounced on
Lillian, keeping her engaged in converse
ton until they were seDarted alittle some
