was sul'1'oring from a certain sense of
disappointment. Miss Lano proved
even prettier on closer inspection than
she had given promise ab a distance of

view), bo thought 6o himself that there
was a beauty 1u the rich yob delicate
tints of n brunette complexion which no
lily fairness could vlo with, and that the
swoop of long dark eyelashes over a
girl's cheeks Was the loveliest thing in
the world. But he saw too touch of
those eyelashes and not enough of the
eyes they shaded—only a swift shy look
as else answered any Anostion of his,
and then they full again or turned to
his sister, who chattered on fast about
the oereniony they had ,iuet passed
through and the people who had boon in
the church.
Harry himself was less talkative than
usual; he could not think of anything
to say worthy the attention of this beau-
tiful grave girl with the soft voice and
steady brown oyes, Fie became balm.
tient at last, snubbed his sister for being
a magpie, and told her gruffly to " shut
up," whou she made an angry reply. He
was glad when they reached the Grange
and the ladies wont upstairs ; then ho
strolled into the stable.yardand mot his
eldest brother George,
"Who was that in the carriage?"
"Only little Miss Lane, the Mainwar.
hags' governess,"
'Eh? Oh, that was why you came
home with the family party'! What is
she like?"
"Like ? Oh, like—a governess. Stiff,
prim—won't talk, or can't talk. Awful
mistake for her to have such a pretty
face ; it's thrown away on a gill like
that."
"Perhaps she'll talk by-and.by. 1
should think life at the Vicarage doesn't
encourage liveliness much. Where is she
now 2"
"Up -stairs with mamma and Lil. I
say, sho'a my discovery; I brought her
here, and I won't have you monopolis-
iug her. I've seen you staring at her iu
church and wrinkling up your ugly face
with auuovance because she wouldn'tlook
at you ; but---"
"My Boar boy, you shall have undis-
Curbed possession of your price, as far
as I am concerned. I don't look for my
goddesses in the Snnday.sahool. I ad.
mire your wisdom, though, all the same.
Sho can do you no possible harm, and
will give you some excellent advice as a
reward for your attentions,"
"Iiope she'll give you a snub as a re.
ward for yours 1" said Barry with a
heartiness which went beyond brotherly
pleasantry.
Both faces were darkeniug into forms
when the first dinner.bell rang. When
they entered the dining -room, as they
did together a few minutes later, they
bound Iittle Miss Lane completely en-
grossed by their youngest brother, a
groat overgrown lad of fifteen or sixteen,
whose usual shyness with women had
been overcome in a quarter of an hour's
eele.a-tele with the governess in the
drawiug-room. He had placed her in
the spat between his own and his
father's; but, before ho had bad time to
sit down, George dropped quietly into
the chair ho was holding.
"That's my place," said he roughly.
"Mine for to -night, dear William," an.
swered his elder brother coolly, bending
his handsome face close to that of the
girl by his side. "This is a pleasure I
have long wished for, Miss Lane," he
said in the tender tones of the experi-
enced flirt.
She looked at him shyly, laughed, and
blushed.
"It is very unkind of you to laugh.
Don't ypu believe me ?"
"Not quite, 'think."
"Somebody has been poisoning your
mind against me already, 1 see," said
he, with mock fierceness. "You would
not -pay any attention to what the ju-
venile William might say, It must have
been Harry. It was Harry, was it not ?"
"Which is 'Harry'?"
{'Harry is the grumpy.looking one
over there—the one who came back in
the carriage with you. Ile would give
the world at this moment to pitch me
out of the window."
"Why ?"—"Never mind why. It ishis
nasty temper."
"lie wouldn't find it so easy, I should
think."
"No.. We should be always pitching
each other out of the windowif we were
not so well matched; as it is, when any
of us are excited beyond endurance, we
pitch the child out.
"The child?"
"Yes—that great gawky- boy who
thought he was going to have all yowl
conversation to himself by putting you
between himself and my father. He
hasn't (some to bis full strength yet. We
can still do great execution upon him if
we take him unawares."
The talk continued chiefly on his
side until the general conversation
turned upon racing, and ho hastened,
with an eager interest which no womau
could excite in him, to join in the ergo,
moot that was going forward. When
lie again glanced at the girl by his side,
she was looking puzzled and rather
prim.
"Our talk about horses and betting
shooks you, I see," he laughed. "You
think it very wicked."
"No, indeed I don't, But I am not
used to it. It is so new to me, at least,
singe I have been 0.overness. "
""Sino you have been a governess?
Well, that can't be very long. And did
you hoax balk like ours before ?"
"Not—quite like yours; but I have
heard gentlemen talk about racing and
theatres anfd—things like that at home
before my father died,"
°Is that long ago?"
"N -o" --rather tremulously.
"Aro you hlappy at the Vicarage 2"
"Oh, yes, they are very kind to

"That was because I can't talk a

George and Harry left the din

rather contemptuously.

the inner side of the door by which h
entered it hung a heavy curtain ; h

There stood the grave, sedate, prema
barely -old governess of half -an -hour be

in the pause after a game of shuttle
cook. There was no mistaking the fact
for sho still held the battledore in on

The game began again. The shuttle
cook was tossed from the one to the
other amid cries and more laughter,

of eye and hand, and as much excited as
if their very lives depended on the keep-

cheeks flsh

her beautiful brown hair shining as her

A minute labor the shuttlecock was
flying again, Opposite to the door where
Harry was standing hidden was another
door; and, as, with hereyesfixed upon
the toy in the air above hor head, Miss
Lane tripped baoltwards against the
curtain, her foot caught in its folds, she
stumbled, and might have fallen, had
not an arm from behind the curtain
caught and saved her. It was George's.
lie had taken up his position just as his
brother had taken his a few minutes
later, at the opposite door.
Quick as thought, Mies Lane had
shrink at the touch of the unexpected
hand into the shell of demure propriety

even surprise, only a little shame and
confusion.
"Thank you. I am much obliged to
you," said she modestly, without rais-
ing her oyes, extricating herself gently
from the obliging arm. " I -I caught
the curtain with my foot."
" Are you sure you have not twisted
your ankle?" asked George, bending
down over her with groat so1ioitede.
" Quite, thank you,"
George bowed his handsome heeded!!
