confusion reigned to an extent which
would greatly surprise those Of us who
are accustomed to schools conducted
under some well regulated system.
The pupils were terribly in earnest in
their desire to learn, but they had no
idea Of discipline. That they wanted to
come was apparent even from their
unconventional manner OF regarding
the classroom.
one morning two bright and clean
little girls. ten and twelve years of
age. came and took their seats as soon
as the bell rang. We heard the chirp-
ing OF little chickens. and asked il any
one had chickens in the room.
Yes, ma'am," came the faint reply.
"Who is it?i

Here's your friend Capt. Forester,
my dear" she said over the shoulder Of
one of a group of men, who, parting at
the hostess words, revealed Miss
Cavallo, whose eyes met Forrester's
with a laughing look as if she We're
amused at his coming. She was very
simply dressed still In black, which
showed the snowy witness of her neck
and arms, and her thick fine hair of
red gold without any ornament what
ever. Forrester's bouquet lay in her
lap, and she was in the act of drawing
off her long gloves. Forester was con-
scious of a sudden desire to expel. by
no gentle means, all the long-haired
and queerly dressed men who sur
rounded her. One or two were in cor
rect evening attire but none looked
like men of Forrester's world.
Good evening"" she said, giving him
her hand. THANK you very much for
these beautiful flowers; they give me so
much pleasure"
"Then / am amply rewarded" he re-
piled, gazing at her with undisguised
admiration. She met his eyes with the
same look of amusement he had noticed
before.

animation.
The song was an English ballad. II
was given with much expression, and
received with applause. As soon as
Miss Cavallo rose from the piano the
Frenchman approached and spoke to
her earnestly for few moments. She
listened with evident interest, a
brighter sparkle coming into her eyes
and tightening up her face. When there
was pause in their talk Forester ap-
preached and offered her his arm,
which she accepted and returned to her
seat.

This interview famed the incipient
flame which was already more than
smouldering in Forrester's decidedly
impressionable heart. He had great
weakness for ladies' society and was
equally liked by them. His amourettes
were legion. but left little trace on his
elastic nature.
There was something, however in
the steady but gentle composure of

Such were Forrester's reflections as

The days flew by and the 10th was
soon with them. Forester had omitted
to mention his engagement to his friend
and adviser. who told him that he
had duly answered Messrs. Welford's
letter and had received no further COM
munication. and he Dixom supposed
the next move would be an application
to the probate court. That was some
thing too far off to trouble him, so he
sent off gorgeous bouquet to Miss
Angela Cavallo and INDUCED in antici-
pations of very pleasant evening.

man stood up to recite. Then two men

an accompaniment for lady with a

and ability in all these performances,
and Forester found himself every
