JOHN SMITH. JUNIOR.
By E. J oLAYDEN.

Il hope, Edith, if send you to school in Paris for q couple of years, you won't come back with your head stuffed as full of nonsense as your sisters is. Let no more be said about it; if we have the party at all, intend the Smiths to be invited. Tell Frances her fine friends may stop away if she thinks the com pany will be too mixed for their notions. Now, my dears, don't hinder me any longer. l ought to have been off an hour ago."
 So saying, Dr. Lisle left the room; moment later the front door banged and the brougham drove away.
 Then suppose had better write the card, mamma?' asked Edith, young girl who was seated at a writing table covered with cards and envelopes which she was filling up and addressing.
 Yes, my dear," replied the little delicate looking middle aged lady who sat near her, ''l am sorry Francie should be vexed, but papa is quite right; the Smiths have been so exceedingly kind and polite, we really ought to show them what civility we can. am sure the dinner they gave us the other night was splendid. Of course they won't expect us to return their hospitality in anything like the same lavish manner; they know we are not millionaires."
 "Francie says she wishes MT. Smith had not taken it into his head to fall down and break his leg at his shop in- stead of in his own home, where his own doctor could have attended him."
 "I am sorry Frances is so foolish. It was very lucky that papa happened to be the nearest medical man who could be found, for it led to his becoming the regular doctor to their establishment; an appointment not at all to be despised. They both took a great fancy to him papa is always favorite wherever he goes"
 "I believe Mrs. Smith thinks that but for papa her husband would never have walked again!' said Edith, laughing.
 "All the more fortunate for us: they are most desirable patients"
 "Of whom are you talking?'' asked a tall, striking looking girl, who had en- tered the room quietly and overheard the last few words.
 "Of the Smiths" replied her sister they are to come, Francie. So now the question is, do you prefer to leave out your grand friends. MT. and Miss Fitz- hardy?"
 The other flushed slightly, and drew herself up with great dignity. Il hard ly see how we can do that: unfortunate ly mentioned the party to Alicia just now thouph what she will think of bo- ing asked to meet Smith and Trewson l am afraid to contemplate.
 Break the awful news gently-be- forehand," said Edith, but her sister ignored the interruption and continued speaking to her mother.
 ''Alicia dropped me at our door on her way home."
 Have you had pleasant driver asked Mrs. Lisle. Il suppose the park was very full.'
 And you had the delightful society of your elderly beau also. no doubt, put

 Frances grew redder and still more dignifed. Edith, how vSlgar It seems to me that during the two years that have been abroad our circle of friends has widened in way which may be indicated by the tone of your manners. Papa will not see that people may be very desirable as patients and yet altogether the opposite as intimatea. If he is really going to send you to Madame he had better make haste and do so before you are hopelessly contam- mated"
 Edith pursed up her pretty lips and tossed her curly head defantly before she replied. "When come back" she said, Il am not going to put up with any of your dull old middle aged lovers. can tell you, no matter how rich, or how liter ary, or how aristocraticl Oh, Francie, you ought to have the most charming lover in the world-rich of course--if you can get him, but young and hand some and clever at least. Oughtn't she. mamma-our pretty FrancesY'
 The mother smiled fondly and proudly upon her two bonny girls, and patted the younger ones chestnut curls.
 What little goose it isl You are both much too young to be thinking about lovers; you especially, Edith, with the prospect of another two years of school life before you Francie must please herself, you know. MT. Fitz- hardy is an exceedingly clever and in teresting man; don't at all wonder Frances likes him. And then remember his sister is her dearest friend"
 "Yes," said Frances, "and see how good he is to her. It is not every man who would make SO much of half sis ter twenty years younger than himself What splendid position she has as mis- tress of his house. Ample means, car riages and horses, plenty of servants and large circle of friends among the most refined and cultivated people in London"
 "Oh, don't deny he is charming brother" said Edith. ''l was looking at him as possible lover, capacity in which for my part could not tolerate him for one moment. Why. he's getting baldr'
 Mrs. Lisle laughed, but Frances rose much irritated.
 What has that got to do with it. and who says he is any ones lover?'
 "l do." replied Edith imperturbably. ''l'u bet you anything you like he is in love with you"
 Frances gave her sister look of un- fathomable disgust, but Mrs. Lisle only smothered smile and gave utterance to feeble remonstrance. "Oh, Edith-my dearT
 Wait and see-wait and see!" laughed tl,-t young lady. "l wish you joy of your taste, Frances.

Why do so many literary men stoop; is it because they are always pohing their noses into ink bottles?'
 But Frances had left the room with out condescending to utter another word.
 'And now, Edith" said Mrs. Lisle having driven your sister away by your nonsense, you had better make haste

 Frances looked up quickly-surely Alicia was blushing. What did it mean. She felt sudden sharp pang of jealousy With this strange, new pain at her heart she could no longer bear going over and over the trivial details of last nights entertainments: so she got away from her friend as soon as she could find 8 decent excuse and went home.
 On her arrival she went straight up into the drawing room. and found Mrs Lisle and Edith alone over the remains of the tea.
 Il wish you had been at home, Fran cie, said her mother. ''Mr. John Smith, Junior, and MT. Josselyn have just been here, and we have given them some tea Have you had yours. or shall put a lit- tie more hot water into the pot and give you acupY
 Frances could scarcely intimate that she had already taken tea when Edith rushed into the conversation with. ..Oh Frances. how nice he isl-Mr. Josselyn. Ir He talked to inc all the time

dent from the slight sigh with which she turned away and began drawing off her long gloves. Then she unfastened the roses from her bosom and held them to her face again and again, as if she could not have enough of their fragrance, afterward putting them carefully in water, lingering over the task, as if the sight and scent of them recalled some thing pleasant to her mind
 The next afternoon Mrs Lisle and Frances went to pay some calls, and on their return found two visitors cards on the hall table, and with them a basket of exquisite Gloire de Dion roses. Mrs Lisle took up the cards and read Her bert J. Moreton Josselyn" and ..John Smith, Junior"
 Edith came flying down the stairs two at time.
 "Oh, Francie, the roses are for you Aren't they lovely? Two gentlemen brought them. l met them on the door, step-they came in a cab-I was just coming in from the square with the lit tie ones. The one who had the flowers was such a handsome fellow-he said to me, Are you one of the Miss LislesY so 1 said, Yes, Pm Edith;' then he said: I have brought some flowers for your sis ter; we were talking about roses last night, and she said that these were her favorite sort told her I was sure she had never seen any to beat those at The Grange now. These are to prove the truth of my assertion So there-I've delivered my message, and l think you ought to give me one of the roses for re. membering it all."
 "You are welcome to as many as you ike," said Frances coldly. "Tm sure don't want the Smiths flowers," and she turned away and walked upstairs with considerably heightened color in her proud young face.
 Mrs. Lisle told her husband of this little incident during their usual short after dinner chat.
 "Ahl" said he, between the puffs at his cigar, Il thought those two young people seemed rather struck with each other. Now. Milly, let nothing be said to Frances. Tell Edith l forbid any chaffing or teasing; she'd better not mention his name even. That girl is a mischievous little spoilsport Leave things to take natural course. Why it would be a match after my own heartl 1 don't mind confessing, never did altogether take to the other. Did you notice how completely Fitzhardy was left out in the cold last night?'
 Meanwhile Edith was by no means above availing herself of her sisters permission.
 Secondhand presents are better than none," she said, as she pinned choice bud or two into the front of her frock Il wonder if shall have baskets of roses brought me when l am grown up. I'm afraid not: shall never be beauty like Frances.
 She might have thought differently had she overheard d remark one young man made to the other as they left the square behind them that afternoon
 II say, Jack-talk of that tall. pale girl last night-what do you think of the younger sister?'
 "She looks jolly little thing" he re- pied. Its an indescribably lovable, happy little face, and quite unconscious of it's own charm; whereas Miss Lisle knows her market value only too well"--
 "Jack! you are coarse!'' his friend in terrupted hotly.
 The only answer was a long drawn expressive whistle; then there was | short pause. after which the subject was changed.
The Press., 1892-08-25

During the next few weeks it seemed: to Frances that she was constantly com ing across the tall, handsome young man between whom and herself there had sprung up such decided liking. almost at first sight. The intimacy grew and strengthened at every meeting. He was invariably accompanied by his great friend. Undoubtedly MT. John Smith, Junior, was to be seen ill the most irreproachable society. Perhaps it was due to Josselyn's superior social standing he probably took young Smith every where as his friend, and as he certainly oe%lved like gentleman. no awkward Ii questions were asked.
 Fastidious. exclusive Frances felt somt surprise at this, which reached it's cul- imitation when shemet them at last at the house of that even more exclusive young lady. Miss Fitzharly. She could not resist making a remark on the sub- ject to Alicia when the two girls were talking over the party next day while they slipped their afternoon tea
 "Why, my dear child," she replied they go everywhere. The two are in separable. and, you know, young Smith is quite wonderful. considering Of course he has nothing to do with the business. suppose he will be enor- mously rich," she added with d sigh. ''his father intends him to go into par liament and they say he is really very clever. AS for MT. Josselyn. everybody knows who he is; and oh. Frances. is he ot-truly-delightful
