The half hour Mel. ba,rely struck when
the you'ng lady made her appearance at

and without any loss of time they got

"A. giatan. pent 1" exolairaed Geraldine,

"Much overrated," anewered Jack.
"His bran. was as crooked as his fig-

"0! Yes, I have," interrupted. Jack,
"And his 'Odyssey,' too. But I would
rather read. cene canto from 'Childe
Harold' than the whole of Pope's
works."
This led to a aispetatious argument,
bit welter Geraldine lest; her temper,
and. leas rude enoughto say:
"You are evidently an exemplifi-
cation of the old, sayin•g that 'a little
'eerie -rig is a .dangermes thing."
. "Well, I'm; bothered!" exclaimed
Jack, with, a satirical. smile, "if that
tan't a little too bad.. For, if tb.ere was
one thing that I was supposed. to
Lis goad at, next to rowing, it wee
Greek."
"You seem to /be very well ed.uoated
for your position in life,," remarked
Geraldine.
"0, T. don't Itnow, answered jack, and
he added, quickly, "the free libraries
are so coeveeient, you. know. But X
might return the .compliment, and say
that yoa seem very well read. for a
youtng lady."
11111en they returned to the ferry,
Geraldine extraeted her purse; but, as
she was taking out the money, jack
:said, pointing to. Henamerton, the
ferrymen:
"That is elle person to pay, please,
I van riot allowed. to talcs any money."

"Don't forget, Dick, if he ebould hoa-

"All right, sir," answerect llick, with

"01 this is unkind and ungenerous,"
cried Geraldine, her eyes filling with
tears. "You should not -you ought not
to -talk to me like this.'
"Why not? Out of the fullness of
the heart the :month speaketh," ans-
wered the young man, and, loaning for-
warcL he potesessed himself of one of
her hands. "Put on, one side all dis-
parities of reek or fortune, and nele
yourself the question: 'Do I love him?'

the cruel laws of society acme between

"Can you. not see," cried the poor

"Yes, but -01 look, there is ray

,Tack look•ed around, and discovered
an old lady watching them intently
from the towing path, and, turning
the boat's head, hesmiled in to the
bank, saying, as he aestsbeet Geraldine
to lend;
"I shall coati. upan, you in the teem-

He did so, and was informed by the
servant that the family had gone away
early that day, ated had left no addree.s.
as they were going to trevel on the
contieent.
It was th'e.middle of the Lon,don sea-
so.a and Lady .Aithorpee rooms were
°roweled with the youth, beauty and
elite of the aristoeraoy. Bustling up to
Geraldine, the energetic little hostess
exclaimed:
"Don't move away for a minute, dear,
I want to introduce Lord John Jasper
to you. A most eligible parti, my dear.
So handsorae, as rioh as Croesus, and so
delightfully. eccentric! Sets etp as a
womananter, you know, but if be re -
slate you, mg dear, wile, r shall give

A minute after she had gone be search
of his lordship, a welleknoven face
caught Geraldiee's attention, and the
next moment Tack, the boetman, was
standing in front of leer.
"At last!" he said, in a low, deep
voice, while his eyes seemed. to pierce
her through and through.
"0! Teak," cried Geraldine. "What
are you doing here?"
"I have come to ask you. to. finish
whet you were saying to me when
your aunt interrupted our conversa-
tion," replied Jack.
"Ohl but isn't it rash of you 8" said
the poor girl, half inclinied to cry, "Sup-
pose any one was to recognize you? I
'should lower forgive myself if you -got

"Tell nee you love me; and. I will

wered Jack.

"Ah! toed Jahn, I was gang to in-

seems as though you have met before,"
rippled the genial hastees. "Ah you

"01 Jack," erierl Geraldine, when
they were once again atom in the
mewl", "why did. you do this?"
"Bemuse I' wished te be loved for my -
