HER MISTAKE.


March in the mountains. FrcShc;5
roaring down the ravines, great thick
cts of pine tossing their green crest;
to and fro in the rush OF the telupc,-
tuous wind, snow shining of on The
plateaus and pink clusters of trailing
arbutus breaking into bloom in south
ern hooks and sheltered places Whcic
last winters dead leaves had not VI
drifted away. And Lucy NCrvaiu,
standing in her russell walkiug-dTc
on the porch of the little mountain
inn, wondered if the famous Hcrue
Alps were grdnder than these sam,
Catskill heights.
Lucy \ervain was small and Siigib
and brOwn-skinnCd, but she ha:l
large, wistfuI eyes OF 50 dark a hazel
that they seemed to melt into TN
black around the iris, and there wyr
quick roses ready to deepen in her
cheeks if any one spoke 10 her. Size
WAS pretty, in her way, like a wilt
flower or a little brown-winged bro;
and she looked around with a troubled
air, as the sound Of an excited femiG.

pretcutious little "beSt Darlor'' OF thl
inn

Vcrvain.
I'm very sorry, ma am" said Mi
Mkt. who kept the house.
