REoENr PUBLICATIONS.

"The Story of New York" is the title of
the initial volume of q series to be known as
the Story of the States. It is very fitting
that the history of the Empire State should
lead the series. In treating the subject the
author has skipped the slow details and.
caught the spirit of passing years; he uses
men and events to illustrate that spirit, and
his book is picture after picture to bring the
times before our eyes. Against the back
ground of historic facts he builds the frame
work of family record, and the Dutch ship
to New York "to grew up with the country"
lives on in his sons till 1888. In them the
reader sees throughout the book the growth
of the average citizen. The Story Of New
York is a very comprehensive history told In
a way to be read by those who sometimes
find prosaic history but dull and dry read-
ing. There is not slow page in the book.
A large, clear type and profuse illustrations
make the volume most attractive. ssThe

caused by observing that he constantly
watched her out of q pair OF small black eyes.
His observation was so close as TO be annoy
ing. She had at length avoided 1t by chang
ing her seat at the table.
He never spoke to her. She did not know
his name, and none of the few persons she
knew were acquainted with him. Having
placed herself beyond his notice at table, she
congratulated herself on having escaped
him, when, to her CONSERVATION and serious
uneasiness, she discovered that he followed
her to and from the school. y
She chose to ignore this. She did not even
speak of it to any one. Though q slight.
golden haired girl. Lucy Hutton was courage
GUS, and O natural delicacy prevented her
from making a fuss about the matter. For,
at last, she began to be annoyed with notes,
expressing this mans infatuation. He de-
sired to make her acquaintance-to marry
her.
Lucy's immediate impulse was to send his
first note to her lover, Henry Grayson, and
ask his assistance. Then she resisted b
seemed a weakness.
II shall avoid this strange lover OF mine
he cannot do me any harm" she thought,
But she could not forget him. His eyes,
his gait, the cut of his garments, became hor-
ribly familiar to her. She felt that she was
constantly under his surveillance. II she
walked alone, he boldly followed her at q
distance. If she entered q crowd, she found
him at her elbow. Once, as she stood at a
shop window looking at some lace; he Missed

After this she never allowed herself to be
abroad after the evenings early dusk. Atthe
mans approach she had felt him SO physically
powerful as to fill her with terror.
The day previous to the evening of which l
write had brought o new incident. A note
had been left at the school-room addressed to
her which read as follows:
BEAUTIFUL LUCY: I must speak to you; you must
hear me. Meet me Tonight at the lower end Of
Redmond's Bridge; remember, You must come.
There was no signature, but there could be
no doubt from whence 1t came. Lucy's
cheeks flushed with indignation but q thrill
of fear went through her heart. Her pur-
suers audacity seemed to have approached q
crisis.
She crushed the note in her hand, for the
observant eyes of her little pupils were Upon
her, and she forced herself to go on with their
lessons; hut her cheek burned redly-her
mind wandered in spite of herself.
OF course she did not mean to meet this
man and what would be the consequences
if she did not? She began TO feel desperately
the need of aid in this strange matter. She
wished that Henry Grayson were there she
wished most of all that she were at home.
When she locked the school-room door that
night she saw, as / have said, this gaunt,
blnck-haired mar watching her under the
trees. With a quick, firm step she walked
down the street. At least he should not see
that she was afraid of him. But she heard a
step behind her it was his. He came to her
side his detestable voice said over her
shoulder, Tonight at 8 o'clock. forgot

q moments delight.
Anticipating her arrival she found her
fathers chaise cart awaiting her, the horse

He is very i'll, Lucy"
That night was a long and hard one for the
friends OF the sick man. But at dawn, TO the
relief Of all, the physicians pronounced him
out of danger.
The morning sunshine found Lucy pallid
and exhausted. She was greatly unneryed.
They begged her to 90 to sleep, but she
could not rest. Her eyes were heavy, her
lips pale, her hands hot. She carried some
spring water, cool and sparkling, TO her
room, wet her throbbing temples and her
thick, rich hair, the weight of which OPP
pressed her aching head.
While engaged in this she heard a knock mt
the door. Hurriedly coiling up her bright
hair, she went down. The door was open.
She did not approach il, for, standing full III
the sunshine, upon the threshold of her home
was the tall. gaunt. detested figure that had
haunted her, like u nightmare, tor weeks.
