1t rained all the afternoon. and we

After that Milicent was not so free to
wander off by herself.
She had Il pupil who seemed bent
on cxacting her full time and atten-

He was one of the brightest, most con-

MILICENT's PUPIL.

What a summer that was at Scalp
Level, when we all had the art fever.
and organized our sketching club!
Despite IL lofty aspirations, it twas
a very jolly affair, and we managed to
have a good time generally. But one
afternoon stands out with peculiar dis
tinctness in my memory.
We were off to the woods on n kind
of aesthetic picnic, or what julie called a
"sketching jamboree." Our party was
a large one, but, though there was
always more or less of a scattering
out of doors, Milicent Leigh was the
only n who had u trick of slipping of
by herself in quest of beauties which no
n else could discover.
On this particular afternoon she was
seated alone on a rustic bridge. making
a sketch of a PROSTATE tree that lay
just at the waters edge.
"There!' she murmurcd, laying
down her book. That's the prettiest
I've done this season.
The words had scarcely left her lips
ere she gave q low cry and started to
her feet in alarm.
A cold nose had Just beer impudentlv
thurst Tito her face, and the same
moment she confronted u big brown
dog, whose mate was dashing through
the m%nderbrush not fifty yards away.
Milicent stood for a moment
in the most ahject terror.
and her apprchenslons hardly
lessened when she saw the owner
of the dogs emerge from the brush with
a gun over his shoulder.
He had a big bushy brown beard, and
with his gray SLOUGH hat pulled over his
eyes, he might easily have passed for
a villain.
As he caught sight of the dogs he put
a silver whistle to his lips and called
them.
Still he advanced toward Milicent,
and she took a backward step with half
a mind to run away.
The same instant she glanced around,
and was conscious that her hat was
gone.
.tOh!n she exclaimed. starting for
ward again, for she saw it bobbing up
and down on the surface of the water.
The owner of the dogs saw it. too.
cater it. Cart he cried. ..Quick.

The moment he spoke Milicent breath

you he said, lifting his hat politely.
''Thcy Northumberland the courtesics."
Milicent made some faint reply as she
watched the big brown setter swimou
into the middle of the stream after her
hat.

He drew forth his gossamer coat from

shoulders.

mered, making Il futile effort to decline
his protection.
IF you will come with me- he
began, and then julie came dashing
through the brush crying:
Miss Milicent! Miss Milicent! I've
been hunting for you everywhere.
Come! It's going to rain, and they
have all gone OFF to the farm house,
Then he stopped in astonishment at
the sight Of the broad-shouldered
stranger and his two dogs.
II have just been advising the young
lady to go there the gentleman said.
II guess we had better CO." Milicent
observed, turning to julie, and making
a motion to lay aside the gossamcr.
''Keep it on" SAID the gentleman.
''You will need it. and | am going to
walk over to the farm house myself"
So they started all three together.
Mrs. Pointdexter and the rest of us
were already seated on the broad old
fashioned piazza when they came hurry
ing up out of the rain.
Not being a prey to alarm, we could

ASK him if he'd mind posing, Mrs.

The moment she had spoken she had

Mabel was so confused that she could

The stranger drew out Il card and

The posing was forgotten in the cozy
chat which ensued.
