A nanny Little Happen- ing at a Theatre in Mork State. At the Lyceum Theatre last night two gentlemen sat ill the froub row next, to the orchestra.

A few moments be- fore the curtain went up one of the gentle - more he became confident that the pried. e men in the front row put his arm on the pal blame should be attached to Mr. Velem- bard. Nevertheless the young man concluded that the Indignity which he had sustained required that he should. assume a greater in- difference than Miss Yoland had yet mani- fested. He resolved that when next he met her he would pretend not to see her ab all. The next meeting took place about a week later. It: was in the highway between the farms. Ars Mee Yoland approached Mr. Chad- wick noticed that she looked .pale Raul anxious:, but as they were about to pass eaoh other he turned his eyes from her. "Mr. Chadwick." The tones were low and trenaulous, bat they reached his ears. He atoppei and. looked ab the fair epee.ker with an air of dignity. "1 know," she continued, "that you are deeply offeded, but perhaps if I tell you I am sorry and make an explanation you will forgive me." She looked so charmingly contrite that Mr. Chadwick forgave her ea once. He as- sured her that he would be glad to have the painful minuaderstanding come to an end. She then told him that on arriving home after she had left the orchard she gave her father a deeoription of her visit and highly preload Mn Chadwick's intelligence and agreeable mamma. To her amazement her father flew into a rage and denounced the young farmer as a low -bred and presumptuous fellow, and commanded her never to converse with him again. At first she thoughts she ought) to obey her father, and treated Mr. Chadwick accordingly, although such a course was re- pugnant to her feelings. Later she learned why her father so much disliked Mr. Chadwick, the reason being what the young man had suspected, and she was ashamed of her father because he was not magnanimous. She was sorry she had been so unkind and resolved to apologize at the Brae opportu- nity. "Your explanation affords me infinite satisfaction," said Mr. Chadwick, "for -for (the besitinget of his heart almost choked his utterances) I must tell you that my feel- ings toward you are warmer than those of a friend.

"I um not surprised; I thought I would," the badly embarrassed farmer replied. , At this moment an envelope dropped from Mies Yoleard'e hand to the ground. Mr. Chadwick stepped forward and picked it up. It was not sealed, and the lover saw that its coat:fined some faded apple bloesome. " Can these be the once I gave you?" he oried. The maiden's blushing oheek eloquently answered him. Then you care for me ?" he exclaimed. " I thinlr I do a little."

"1 do not think he will if I tell you a secret and you tell it to hint," was the old lady's singeler reply.

'Realizing that she had done So umeonscaously, he did notmove his arm. Soon, however, he felt a hard pinch. Thinking that the best way to call the lady's attention to what she was doing would be to ask if anything was wanted,the gentleman turned and asked: "What is it, madam?" "Sir," said the lady, and immediately the husband blazed up: " Whet do you mean by speaking to my wite ?" he demanded. "Don't; mean anything," was the reply, "but I would like to kriow what your wile means by pinching my arm." Then both men looked at the lady's hand, which still rested on the arm.
