perativclv; "it is time to 60"
This time Jasper took no notice OF her
at all, but Mr.. Carey said something to
him which she could not hear. He an
swered it by fiinging himself on the
ground, as if there, and there only, did
he intend to be.
81 ain afraid he is rather rebelious,
observed Mr.. Carey, still scarcely raising
his eyes from his picture; "but if you
don't object to waiting for quarter of
an hour l shall be done here then, and
he won't mind going"
The assumption that the child pre-
ferred him so much to her nettled Miss
Nancy, who exclaimed. with some irrita-
ton, 81 think you might make him 60
with me now. However, | don't mind
waiting-I am tired. She said this SO
brusquely, and her manner was so un-
like that of a servant, that he turned
round to look at her, and IN moment
saw something which completed the
composition of his picture in the most
unexpected and perfect way. Weary
with waiting she had fallen into care
less lounging attitude, and the lines Of
her figure supplied just what his compo-
sition wanted. Henceiorth that tell
square mass of the castle was we'll within
the limits of his power of arrangement.
"Please sit just as you are for few
minutes longer, he cried II shall be
so much obliged to you if you will.
Nancy felt inclined to get up and walk
away. He would not have spoken in
that way to lady. However, she soon
copsoled herself by thinking that, after
all. she was not playing the part of
lady Just then, and he was but paying an
unconscious tribute TO her power OF act
ing.
"He said sit still few minutes, was
her next thought, "but surely | have
sat more than twenty" She was getting
very tired. "Is it nearly done !? D." she
inquired, with the indifference OF girl
who doesn't see why she is TO go on do
ing what she does not like.
"Not quite. l entreat you not to
move Tor minute or two"
This time his tone was so urgent and
his desire 10 keep her still so evident
that she could not but feel hsttersd.
She sat for quarter of an hour longer,
hut then Jasper began 10 roar out that
he was hungry. Nancy had for long
time been feeling the raging appetite OF
person who is just recovering from an
illness.
"Bless my soul I" exclaimed Mr..
Carey, looking at his watch. 81 have
kept You both much longer than ought

Having given careful consideration 10 all

unable 10 find that the local rate Of fare is

the reduction which the petitioners ask.
In order. however, that the local travel
