IIltilcitO tiic lduIIlleS HaN hllON II buI little of each other.
 II will pay her off," said the young man to himself, with quiet smile.
 The next morning he visited a readymade clothing establishment
 "Have you any blue suits:" he asked.
 We have none made up recently. They are not fashionable in the city, you know"
 ''I am aware of that, but 1 intend to do little masquerading."
 "Want to personate a country man." said the clerk, smiling.
 ''Precisel y."
 Then l think l can accommodate you. Not long since countryman called in and ordered such suit as you desire, but having been nceced of hIs money by some sharpers, was obliged to leave them on our hands. ;"
 "The very thingl" exclaimed young Onthank.
 "There is only one thing. He was not so tall as you, and they may be somewhat short in the sleeves and legs"
 "All the better. Such is the tra- ditional country fashion. Will you let me see them?"
 The suit was accordingly shown.
 Our hero at once put it on, and he could not help laughing at the meta morphoss which it produced in his appearance. He hardly recognized himself
 II think l will keep them on" he said, "and have the others sent to my hotel. 1 want two articles more some cowhide boots and flaming red bandana. and then I shall be fully equipped"
 These last mentioned articles were not difficult to procure.
 An hour afterwards he knocked at the door of his relatives aristocratic residence.
 "Is Alice to hum!" he inquired of the servant.
 II believe so," said the latter, staring at him with eyes wide open.
 "Then go and tell her that her cousin Jerry wants to see her. If she's frying doughnuts or anything tell her kin wait in the sttin' room"
 The servant, stifling laugh, went up and reported the arrival to AL ice.
 "Oh, charming" said she, II was just thinking what should do for amusement. I'm so glad he has come,
 Alice descended and entered the drawing-room.
 There stood before her the exact embodiment of the picture she had drawn the evening before.
 'Howdy do, cousin Alice? I'm Jerry Onthank. Expected me, did- mt ye?"
 So saying, he strode towards hls cousin, and grasped her taper fin gers in painful squeeze.
 II am very well, thank you," said Alice, expressing smile with diff culty. II hope you left your family we'll"
 ''Fust rate. Dads alive and kick ing, and mans so's to be about-all well except the white heifer-she's took sick, and Pm afeard she wont get over it. .'
 That's great pity, certainly" said Alice, with much sympathy.
 "I guess you'd think so. That ere criter used to give l5 quarts of milk a day, which dad used to sell to the milkman for 3 cents quart. Most half q dollar day clean gone"
 'It is certainly quite melancholy"
 "When did you arrive in Bos- ton?"
 Last night,
 "Where did you stopF"
 'To the Fremont House. What do you think? The plaguey stage dri- yer that took me there charged 37 cents! guess he seed l wuz from the country, and wanted to cheat me-"
 II believe that is the regular price replied Alice.
 "Shol You don't tho, Guess you are made of money in Boston? You, it's big town though"
 1t is pretty large"
 II never seed so many brick hous- es in my born days. There's one thinp | want to see though. '
