The Ingenue OF Fiction.

A very pretty girl, with soft, dark
hair and graceful figure, was sitting
on the. gate immediately before me,
with book In her hands. 1 knew hef
at once. I knew that her ear resembled
delicate pink sea-shcll. 1 knew THAI
her eyelashes must inevitably be long.
She was the charming, innocent type.
The hero finds Der this in her guile
less village simplicity, reading some
harmless story, in her inexpensive
white dress, with the knot of common
or garden geranium at the neck. He
startles, her as he passes, and she. drops
her book and he picks it mp. 1t is thus
that the intimacy begins. She is the
daughter of the poor vicar. and he is
the scion of noble house. He has
come to the village for the sake of rest,
or fishing, or sketching. Whichever it
is, he does it rather better than any
ono else. 1t is way these heroes
have.
The poor, old gray headed vicar goes
pbttering about his garden. and never
sees that train for three volume nov
el is being laid under his very nose. He
is devoted of course, to his only daugh-
ter, and his blindness proceeds partly
from the chi!dlike simplicity which is
natural to these sylvan haunts, but
also because he must be aware by this
time that the story could not possibly
get along without it, So the hero makes
love to her, because he is not In the
least in love with her, and she does not
make love to him. because she Is very
much in love with him. In this sinful
world the heroes get most of the I'M
deretit. AS rule, he kisses her
On the eyes and mouth alone; but
the nose and back-hair are the
only part of girls head which the
hero never kisses. He leaves the vii
lage and marries someone else. Then
comes the breakfast-tab scene, which
we oil know and hate SO well. She
takes up the newspaper with a merry
laugh, and suddenly sees the advertise
hent of the heru's marriage. She turns
deadly pale, grasps the table to save
herself from falling, and, murmuring
that the heat is too much for her, and
that she will be better presently, stag
gers from the room.
The complacency and blandness
with which this excuse is always re-
ceived is simply maddcning. "Pcei
child" the vicar murmurs, pensively,
as he sips his last cup of tea, and then
goes out to play the fool among the
azaleas without giving the matter an
other thought.
If the book is to be sad, she is to
pine and die; if it is to be cheerful, the
curate, who has all the time adored hel
in secret, now comes to the fore, kisses
over the same old ground, and finally
mnrries her. As looked at her, l felt
sorry for her. l determined to give
her little variety in her monotonous
existence. So 1 stepped softly mp tt
her, took her by the hair, and kissed
the tip of her nose. There was whirl
and chick as of machinery set in mo
ton. Then she gave little frightened
cry and fiuttered like bird. I might
have known it-a kiss is as certain
to produce this effect on the innocent
and automatic doll of fiction as the
placing of a penny in the slot is te
