"Marry you? Why, no, Vane, of
oouree I won't! You must have taken
leave of your senses, I always told
you I Intended to wed a man with
blue eyes and golden hair, and youi8
are dark. Besides, you are twenty-seven
and a medical student, two
things I could never tolerate In the
man I honor with my heart and
hand." And lovely little Lottie Rex-dal
laughed a very w'.cked little laugh
as she pushed the end of ber red silk
parasol into the soft soil under an old
apple tree, at the same time glancing
saucily up at ber companion, a schol-arly
young man.
"Whv do you ask me?"she resumed.
"Because I wanted to be made fuu
of, to be ridiculed by the little girl 1
love," replied Vane Winton, smiling
sadly at the pert young lady perched
on the back of a rustic garden-eeat.her
brawn frizzes falling roguishly Into
her dancing brown eyes.
"Now that doesn't souud a bit like
our own grave Vane, who studies
medicine and cultivates an ice cream
complexion."
"An ice cream complexion?" asked
Vane Winton, a little mystified.
"Yes ; that's Lottie Rexdal's term
for students complexions. You book
worms study away until your faces
take on the hue ot that sweet com-pound,"
answered the roguish girl.
"If you would only be grave for
awhile I might talk to you," said
Vane.
"Yes; you know I'm such a rogue
that I ihouid put you to the blush a
thousaud times a day," ohimed in
Lottie.
"I'm willing to run the risk."
"Ah ! but I shall not agree to any
such sacrifice. Marry some steady,
sensible girl. Alice May will be here
In one hour. Be polite, and captivate
her. Miss May Is so highly cultured
and grave that she will surely not be
less than sublime in your eyes. I'll

asked
tell you '•
But Vane did not stop to hear more.
He walked off, leaving gay Lottie
Rexdai laughing merrily.
Lottie was the ward of Vane Win-ton's
kinl father. She bad been or-phaned
at a very early age. A maid-en
aunt had then adopted her. When
Lottie was but ten, and her education
not half completed, ber kind relative
died. But before tbat she had sent
for Mr. Wintou, her girlhood's lover,
and made him promise to receive the
little orphan girl. The klud man
cousen icil; and so Lottie became an
Inmate of Vane Winton's home.
Vane was the only child of wealthy
parents, and at the time when Lottie
came to his father's house he was
on the continent
When be relumed three years after-wards
he found his "ward slater," as
he bad called ber In bis letter*, away
at some school for girls. Bo it happen-ed
tbat Vane and Lottie had never
met until six months tw-fore. Vane
was a fine scholar, but he bad never
studied auy profession. Now at the
age of twenty-seven, realizing that "it
is never too late to mend," he was fit-ting
himself for the ministry.
Vane was trying to study at his
home that summer. Sometimes he
found it impossible to do so amid the
tempest aroused by mischievous Lot-tie
Rexdai. she threw open the un.
used piano, and made the house ring
with her clear, bell-like totes. She
filled the library with flowers, tossed
up Vane's books, and even scribbled
on them. She rode every horse on
the place, romped with prince, the
great shaggy dog, tore her di esses,
went bare-beaded, and turned the
■wide hall into a skating rink.
She was utterly spoiled by both Mr.
and Mrs. Winton. At first Vane had
been shocked. But the more he stud-led
her original character, the more
be become reconciled to It. Tolerance
gave place to admiration, and that, in
due time, to love. He had always felt
a vague longing to discover a woman
In whose character he hoped to fiud
originality and freedom from affection.
If he could only teach Lottie to love
him, what a splendid woman she
might become!
He would wait patiently and hope-fully,
he reasoned, as be walked away.
Taking a vclume from his pocket, be
sat down on a bench under an elm,
and began to pursue It. Soon a merry
laugh caused blm to look up, and be
saw Lottie riding down the lane on
her milk-white Fioss. Very bright
Ev . and piquant 8Le looked in her riding
E% habit as she drew rein beside blm.
"Sir Owl, I'm on my way to meet
Miss Alice now ; and while I'm gone
I will expect you to oomb your bair,
part it in the middle, put on a clean
collar, put a flower in your buttonhole
and act very ajstbetlo and dude-like."
And with a merry laugh, she rode
I away.
For weeks after Alice Ma„. 's arrival
the bouse was filled with company.
Vane devoted himself almost entirely L
•o > her, leaving Lottie to amuse her-self.
At the frequent picnics Alice
shone as the chief star ot the occasion.
She might begone all day, but return-ed
with her elegant customes as per-fect
as when sho started, while Lottie
would lose her parasol and fan, and
tear great holes in ber dresses, and
oome home with her face and hands
a-" black as a gypsy's.
When Vane and Alioe went riding,
L'ttle would show off Floss and jump
hedges, thus provoking earnest re-monstrance
from Vane. Then the
brown-eyed witch would ride faster
than ever, sending hack gay peals of
laughter from the dignified couple
whom she left to bring up the rear.
Of late Vane thought he detected a
certain recklessness iu Lottie's freaks.
When going up the mountain, where
it was so steep that he dismounted to
lead Alice's horse, she galloped on,
putting whip to Floes, who rushed up
the rocky ascent, tearing up pebble
and turf, over wide chasms, and along
narrow ledges, where a single misstep
would have hurled pony and girl down
to instant destruction.
Vane trembled; but to hide his
fears he gave Alice his full attention.
One day he went into the library,
and found Lottie seated on the win-dow-
sill. She was unusually quiet.
She bad been watching Alice, who,
with book in hand was, promenading
on the lawn below, under the shady
trees.
••Bhe Is very beautiful," said
looking towards the graceful
"I wonder if she would marry
"Vane Winton, haven't you
her yet ?"
"Not yet. Perhaps I shall to-day.
Do you think I had better do so ?"
"Most certainly." And she ran off
singing merrily.
In a short time she was tearing
down the road on Floss at breakneck
speed.
After she had jone, Vane went out
to Alice.
"What ails Lottie ?" that lady In-quired.
'Lottie ? I do n Jt understand."
"As she passed me just a few min-ites
ago, to mount her pony, I spoke
to her. "Let me go Alice May !" she
snapped, and I noticed tears in her
eyes. And then she rode off so reck-lessly
that I am fearful she will put
Floss in a bad temper."
Alice spoke lightly, but Vaue'afaoe
paled as he walked back to the bouse,
aud waited anxiously for Lottie's re
turn.
Presently he caught sight of Floss
being led slowly baok by a strange
man. Theu followed a carriage with
two men, one of whom held a girlish
figure <" fcU arms.
„ -It took place down on the river
road," explained one of the men to
Vane. "The girl was riding like the
wiLd when all at once the pony made
a plunge, and the tflrl landed among
the rooks."
Mr. and Mrs. Winton came hurry-ing
out, and the greatest excitement
prevailed. They took Lottie into the
bouse where it was asceitalued that
one arm was broken and several ugly
cuts and bruises bad been received.
When Lottie opened her eyes, Vane
was at her side.
"Go away I" she cried.
"Never, darling, for I love you!"
"How can you love me and marry
Alice?" she pouted.
"I am dot going to marry Alice."
"Wny Lottie, can It be that you are
Jealous?" Bald Alice, taking ber hand.
"Vane and I do not want each oth-er."
"I was jealous," confessed Lottie,
"but please don't go away." And he
did not "When you spoke of marry-ing
Alice. I did not care what happen-ed
to me.''
"But you refused me."
"I know It, but omy to tease you."
Just as soon as Lottie recovered
there was a quiet W doing and Alice
was bridesmaid.

eyes while an incredulous grin broad-ened
his kind-hearted, honest face,

"Do you think so ? ctuite a relief I

"You say the trout weighed ten

It is a good thing to I car;! cautiou
by the misfortunes of others.
Every man has some peculiar
of thought which he falls back
when alone.
One good act done to-day Is worth a
thousand In contemplation for some
future time.
Cato says, the best way to keep good
acts in memory Is to refresh them
with new ones.
We have not a murcle whose law of
strength Is not action ; we have not a
faculty of mind, body or soul whose
law o( improvement is not energy.
Nothing is more expensive I ban
penurlousness, and every duty which
Is bidden to wait returns with seven
fresh duties at i!s back.
There is nothing so delightful as the
bearing of the speakiug of truth. For
this reason there Is no conversation so
agreeable as that of the man of integ-rity,
who hears without auy intention
lo betray, and ppeaks without any in-tention
to deceive.
Doclrinee are of use only as they are
practiced; men may go to perdition
