A few days after this Patty and Yer dant found themselves in the orchard rack Of the Hall garden and, seated side by side upon tree which. after springing up for a foot and a half, had suddenly shot out at right angles and thus forced a natural seat. holding two

 Now Mir. Green was a Warwickshire squire with broad acres around his manor house, possessed of a fat income and also of a wife, a son and three fair daughters-Helen, Fanny and Mary-to say nothing of his sister-in-law. Miss Virginia Verdant, who lived with the family, and was looked upon to increase the family wealth when she should be "called hence."
 The Verdants were an old country fam fly. as were the Greens; and so the son had been named Verdant Green-a name which exactly suited him.
 He was tall. gawky, wore spectacles, was bashful. serious ana altogether what one would have expected of a youth brought up, as he had been, among a parcel of girls and under the especial pa- tronage of his old maid aunt.

 The conversation went on something like this-Verdant beginnings This is very cool and retired"

 Somehow Verdant had to use his arm to keep Patty from falling. Then re- spmed Miss Patty:

 But the year died and the Christmas va cation ended with it. And back to OK ford went Mir Verdant Green, MT. Charles Larkyns and MT. Henry Bouncer.
 They all begun to study now-really study-and when Commemoration day came Charles Larlyns won the chancel- lors prize for a Latin essay and the Newdigate prize for English verse.
 Vedrant passed his eXamina tions with flying colors. But poor little MT. Bouncer went by the board. He tried hard enough to pass. He even shaved his head having read that bald-headed men were generally intellectual.
 He sacrificed all sorts of sports and burned the midnight oil' all over the classics when he would rather had been at the rat pit. But alas, his sacrifices were in vain.
 Nature had given MT. Bouncer health, wealth, and animal spirits, good nature almost all the amiable qualities but was so busy in showering other blessings upon him that she forgot to give him brains.
 It will happen that way now and again in this world, and who shall say which is the more fortunate-the man who has all the other gifts and no brains, or the man to whom brains have been given and from whom the other gifts have been withheld?

His Hated Rival


 That day there arrived at the hall MT. Frederick Duval, a nephew of Mr. Hon eywood. Verdant had often heard the family speak of this Cousin Duval- and now he saw him.
 Tall, dark, dashing, debonair. He had come to the Northumbrian coast in his yacht, which was lying in a harbor some miles off. He wore a mustache-and he kissed Patty when he came into the hall.
 verdant went off into the orchard and had an interview with the green-eyed monster-jealousy. From that time Cap tain Duval pervaded everything.
 Verdant sulked. He saw it all plainly. The captain was so very attentive to Patty and Patty attentive to the cap tain. o. why had he allowed himself to indulge in fond illusions!
 The hall was filled with guests and Squire Honeywood gave a great picnic at place some miles away. In spite of his sulks. Verdant managed to get an opportunity of walking by the side of Patty-apart from the rest of the crowd. Patty prattled on as usual. but Yer dant was sarcastic, reticent, austere.

 "No, pray do not; stop minute It's very hot-but I want to say that whether you like me very much or not, l like you very much-it is hot, isn't 1t? that l like you very much indeed.'
 At that moment raucous voice shouted out "Helle, Giglamps. I've been looking for you everywhere. Here we are, as Hamlets uncle said, all in an orchard. But you look rather in stew Whats up? But luncheon is ready. Come. you people, and eat.
 It was little MT. Bouncer with pie in his mouth and two bulldogs trailing after him.

The Gypsy's Prophecy


 They ran across gypsy camp and an old woman eagerly asked to tell the fortunes of the pretty young gentle man and the beautiful young lady" 'T know my fortune only too well,' said Verdant.
 A shade of sadness stole over Patty S face. What could he mean?
 And do you like tie prospect of it?' she asked.
 Not at all,' snapped Verdant
 70, you had better let her tell your fortune; perhaps it will be an improve ment on the one you expect" said Pat ty after short silence.
 The gypsy began. It was the usual batter: Patty sketching the old hag as she played the pythoness.
 First she told the pretty gentleman a long rigamarole about the stars and their courses as especially influencing him. Then she said that he was pas sionately attached to a pomegranate- hearted young lady but that the path of true love was crossed by a rival-a dark man.
 Frederick Duval." almost whispered Verdant. Really this was most extraor- dinary.
 The gypsy saw that she had made a hit and ended up-after her palm had been crossed by another piece of silver by predicting the discontinue of the dark man and the ultimate triumph of MT. Verdant Green.

Blissful Days

But let us get forward to the vacation after Commemoration day, when Yer dant went on a visit to Honeywood hall in the far land of northern North umberland-a place so far north that you could see the Cheviot hills and the people spoke with what was almost a Scottish accent.
 Mir. Honeywood did not exactly own all "as far as you could sec. for you could see great ways from the em- thence upon which Honeywood hall was situated-but pretty near. And, like Ja- cob of old he was rich in his flocks and his herds.
 charles Larkyns, Mir. Bouncer and the Green girls were of the party at the hall, of course.
 Those were blissful days for verdant Miss Patty went out sketching-and Verdant was her escort
 One day she would fain sketch a ruined church about mile and a half from the hall, and seated herself on the banks of little stream-the Swirl 1t was called-to indulge in her artistic dissipation.

 Springing to one side. Verdant threw his soft 'wide-awake' hat in the ami mals face. Roarer stopped and tore the hat to pieces.
