~ NAUGHTY NAN. ~
CHAPTER H.-tcontinued.)

Miss Deane was again at the brook
when Edwin Redmayne returned, and
sbe thanked him very gratefully as he
hold out basket of creamy brown eggs
IN her with a triumphant little smile,
which made his naturally grave face
boyish.
He had not been long, as he had prom
ICED. and Nan noticed he had never
troubled to change his wet boots. al
though he lad shown solicitude concern
ing hers.
@May carry them for you to the cot
taee q" he asked trifle shyly, or what
20 her. after Harold's assured tones,
seemed shyly. Tit is such a lovely
day
But you were going in the other di-
rection when l intercepted your course
by falling into the brook" protested Nan
demurely.
ooh, but / wasn't going anywhere in
particular-only for a stroll" replied
Young Redmayne eagerly. Il should like
10 90 with you, for really the basket is
very heavy-very."
"Well, in that case, had | not better go
back to the farm, and get them to drive
me over with it 2" suggested Miss Deane
gravcly, with sides glance irons her de-
mme brown eyes.
Edwin laughed.
81 think we could manage it between
us this way" he said.
Il thought we could-or rather that
could" reioined Nan, because / was
wondering how dozen of your eggs
could be so much heavier than a dozen
of ours"
you are too clever for me, I admit"
laughed Edwin. giving up all pretence.
well, the fact was, it was such a lovely
day"
at is still the same day." Nan re-
minded him, smiling, "and we win 60 to
Mrs Gray's together if you like. Mr.
Redmayne, so that neither of us may be
exhausted by the basket. / have told
them of my accident, and your kind as
sistance-the people at the farm, mean
and also that you were trying to get
me some eggs. BY the -carelessly
did l tell you my name? 1t is Deane
Nan Deane."
Edwin Redmayne made no imperti-
nently admiringa comments upon it.
He thought the easy, graceful man
ners of this young girl charming in the
extreme as he thought her face lovely,
but he took her for a lady, and never
dreamt of treating her as if she were
anything else.
They walked along together, laughing
and talking as Edwin very rarely
laughed and talked with anyone.
He was retiring, quiet fellow, rather
put in the shade, in the opinion of shall
low society, by his handsome, fine-look-
ing, elder brother, and not much of a
favorite with women.
But men liked him, and he was appre-
ciated by the poor people around his
home and by his college friends. who
still stuck to him; and it was a singular
fact that though he did not make
friends like Harold did, he lost none of
the few he possessed, while his brothers
dropped away very frequently.
They were entirely unlike, the two
young men.
The world preferred Harold.
Of Edwin it had not much opinion
he was a queer fellow and dreamer.
But Miss Deane was not the world.
nor was she shallow.
And as she walked along by Edwin's
side, and glanced at him very often, she
did not form the opinion of him that
many of the girls who met him did,
though, like them, she admired a hand
some face and a gallant bearing.
'All is not gold that glitters," Judge
not by Appearances Handsome is that
handsome does" were a few of the say
ings that ran through her mind, and she
smiled a curious little smile occasionally,
as OF one who was enjoying a joke.
