And then he read us the 'Legend of Pornic,' and we had a discussion about that. Mrs. Bowen says it WAS real gold they found in the coffin • but I thiek it was the `rl's 'gold hair.' I don't know which . Morton thought. Which do you' Don't you think the 'Legrnd of Pornic ' is splendid ?" "Yes, it's a great poem, and deep," said Colville. They ha1 come to .a plaee where the bank slo eel invitingly to the river. "Miss ' e,» he asked, 'wouldn't you like to go down and throw stones inth the rno ?-- That's what a river is for," he added, as ,the child glanced toward I Imogene for authorizetion—"to have tones thrown into it." "Oh, let us "cried lin gene, rushing down to the brink. "1don't want to throih sterteeinto it, but to get near it— to- get near to any bit of hature. They do pen you up so from it in Europe ! She 'Stooi and watched Colville skim stones over the current. " 'When you stand by the shore of a swift river like this, or near a, railroad train when it comes whirling by, don't you ever hare a morbid impulse to fling yourself for- ward?" I • "Not at my time of life, said Col- ville, stooping to select 'a flat stone." "Morbid impulses are one of the luxu- ries of youth!? He threw the stone, which skipped triumphantly far out into the stream. "That was beautiful, won't it, Miss Effie V' ' f` Lovely !" murmured the child. e offered her a, flat pe - bk.. "Would - yoh like to try one ?" • "It would spoil my glo es," she said, in -deprecating refusal. "Let ma try it?" .eijied Imogene. "Pm not afraid of my gi. veg." Colville_ yielded the pelt le, looking at her with the thought of iiow intoxicat- ing he should once have fjourd this bit of willful abandon, but feeiing rather sorry for it now. " Oh, Perhaps pot," - he said, laying his hand upon here and looking into her eyes. She retained his look, and then she dropped the pebble and put her hand back in her muff, and turned, and ran up the bauk. "There's the carriage. It's time we should be going." At the top :of the bank she became a mirror of dig- nity,: a transparent mirror to his eye. "Are you going back to tcia-n, Mr. Col- ville V" she asked, with formal state. "We could, set you down anywhere." "Thank you, Miss Graham. I shall be glad to avail myself of your very kind offer. Allow me" He handed her cere- moniouely to the carriage ; he -handed -Me Bowen even more ceremoniously. to the carriage, holding his hat in one hand while he offered the other. Then he mounted to the seat in front of them. "The Area:Ger has chenged," he said. , Imogene hid her face in her muff, and Effie Bowen bowed hers -against Imo - gene's shoulder. A sense of the girl's beeuty lingered in Colville's thought...all dey, and recur- red to him again and again '• andothe ambitious intensity and -tuthusiasm of her talk came back in toudhei of amuse- ment and compassion. How divinely young it all was, and how lovely ! He patronized it from a height far aloof. I He wes not in the fram of mind for the hotel table, and he we rt to lunch at a restaurant. He chose a simple tratto- ria the first he came to, aud he took his seal at one of the bare, rude tables, where the joint saucers for pepper and salt, and a small glass fot tooth -picks, with a mach -scraped porcelain box for matches, expressed an ! uncorrupted Florentinity of custom. But when he gave his order in off -hand Italian, the waiter answered in the French which waiters get together for the travellers' confusion in Italy, and he resigned him- self to whatever chance of acquaintance might befall him. The place had a coin- panionable smell of stale tobacco, and the dun light showed him on the walls of a space dropped a step or two lower, at the end of the room, 1 a variety of sketches and caricatures. 'A waiter was la.yinc, a large table in this space, and wheziColville came up to , examine the drawings he jostled_ himovith due apolo- gies, in the haste of a nan working against time for masters w us will brook no delay. He was huiriiig still . when a party of young men came in and tobk their places at the table, and began to rough him for his delay. Colville could recognize several of them in the vigorous budesques on the walls, and as others ("topped: in the grotesque portraitures made him feel as if he had seen them before. They all talked a once, each man ef bis own interests, except when theeejoined in a'shout of mockery and welcome for some new-coiier.Colviiie, at his risotto, almost the oom's length away, could hear whet hey thought, one and another, of _ Botticelli and Michelangelo; of old Pfloty's things at Muuich ; of the dishes they had served to them, and of the quality of the Chianti, of the respective merits of Gemmel and Italian tobacco ; of whether Ingiehart had probably got to Venice yet; of the persenal liebits of Billings, and of the question wheth .1- the want of thing to do with his Itali n accent; of modelling- in Simmons's n se had any - the overrated coloring of some of those Venetian fellows; of th delicacy of Mine da Fiesole, and of the genius of Ba,bseres_tailor. Babson was there to defend the cut of his trete ers, and Bil- lings and Simmons we e present to answer for themselves at tie expense of the pictures of those w o had caned their habits and features into question. When, it came to this, &11 the voices joined in a jelly uproar. Derision and denial broke out of the tumult, and presently they were all talking quietly of a reception which some bof them were at the day before. Then olville heard one of them saying that he weuld like a ehance to paint some lady whose name lee did not catch, . and " She looks awfully sarcastic," one of the young- fel- bows said. I "They say she is," Seid another. " They say she's awful intellectual." "Boston ?" queeied a th'rch "No; Kalamazoo. T1ie centre , of culture is out there now. " She knows how to dr ss, anyhow," said the first commentator "1 wonder 1 what Parker would talk to her about when he was painting her? He's never read anything but Poe's ' Ulla- luree." . "Wen, that's a good subject—' Ulla - lime.' " "I suppose she's read it?" "She's read 'most everything, they say." " What's an Iillalume, anyway, Par- ker ?" One orthe group sprang up from the table and drew wale wall what he la- belled "An Ullalume." Another rapid- ly depicted Parker in themoment Of sketching a young lady, her portrait had got as far as the eyes and nose when some one protested : "Oh, hello I No personalities:" ' •• The draughtsman sold, "Well, :all right !" and sat down again: "Hall talked with her the most. What did she Bey, Hall?" "Hall can't remember words in three syllables, but he says it was mighty brilliant and mighty deep." . "They say she's a -niece of Mrs. Bowen's. : She.'s staying with Mrs. Bowen.' Then it was the wisdom and brilliancy and severity of Imogene Graham that these young men stood in awe of ! Col- ville remembered how the minds, of girls of twenty -had once dazzled him. • " And, yes," he Mused; "-she must have believed that we were talkingliterature inthe Caseine. Of course I should have thought it an intellectual. time when 1 was at that age," he owned to himself with forlorn.irony. _ The young fellows went on to speak f Mrs. Bowen, whom it seemed they had knownthe winter before. She had been very Polite to them; they praised her as if she were quite an old woman. "But . she must have been a very • pretty girl," one of them put in. " Well, she has a pod deal of style yet." i' 0.11 yes, but she never could have been a beauty like the other one." On henpart, Imogene was yery sober when she met Mrs, Bowen, though she had come in tingled and excited from the air and the • morning's adventere. • Mrs. Bowen was . sitting by the fire, placidly reading, a vase Of roses on the little table near her diffused the delicate odor of winter roses through the room ; all seemed -very still and dim, and of another time, somehow. Imogene kept away from the fire, sit- ting down, in the provisional fashion of women, with her things on ; but she un- buttoned her pelisse and flung .it open. Effie had gone to her room.' "Did you have a pleasant drive?" asked Mrs. Bowen. "Very," said the girl. "Mr. Morton brought yOu these roses," continued Mine Bowen. "Oh," said Imogene, with a cold glance at them. , "The Flemmings have asked us to -a party Thursday.; Thereis to be danc- ing. ' . "The Flemmings ?" • "Yes." As if she new saw reason to do so, Mrs. Bowen laid the book face downward in her lap: She yawned a Little, with her hand on ,her mouth. "Did you meet any one you knew?" " Yes ; Mr. Colville., ' Mrs. Bowen cut her yewn in half: "We got out to walk in the Caseine, and we saw him coming in at the gate. • He -came up and asked if he might walk with mee" "Did you have a pleasantwalk ?" asked Mrs. Bowen,. a breath more chill- ily than she had asked if they had a pleasant drive. f' Yes, pleasant enough. And then we came back and went down the river- bank, and he skipped stones, and we took him to hs hetet." " Was ther anybody you knew in the Caseine ?" " Oh no; the piece was a howling wilderness. I never saw it so deserted," • said the girl, impatiently. "It was ter- ribly hot walking. lethought I should burn up." • • Mrs. Bowen did not answdr anything; . she let the book lie in her laP. "What ah odd person Mr. Colville is !" said Imogene, after a moment. " Don't you think he's very different from other gentlemen ?" " Why ?" • - . " Oh, he has such a peculier way of talking." ' . " What peculiar way ?" . ".0h, I don't know. Plenty of the young Inert I see talk cynically, and I do sometimes myself—desperately, don't you know. Blit then I know very well we don't naean anything by it." . • s"And do yeti think Mr. Colville does? Do you think he talks cynically?" e Imogene leaned back in her chair and reflected. "No," she returned, slowly, "1 can't say that he doe. But he talks lightly, with a kind of touch and go that makes you feel that he has ex- ha.usted all feeling. He doesn't parade it at all. But you hear between the words, don't you know, just as you read between the lines in some kinds of poetry. • Of course it's everything in knowing what he's been through. He's perfectly Unaffected ; and. don't yoa think he's good ?" . "Oh yes," sighed Mrs'. liewen.. "In his way." ' "But he sees through you. Oh, quite ! Nothing escapes him, and pretty soon he lets outthat he has seen through you, and then -you feel so flat! Oh, it's perfectly intoxicating to be with him. I would give the world toOalk as he does." . . . • • . " Whet was your falk all about ?" "Oh, I doll know. I suppose it would have been called rather intellee- tual." • ,• - • Mrs. Bowen smiled infinitesimally. But after a moment she said, gravely:. "Mr. Colville is very much •older than you.. He's . old enough :to be your father." ,‘" Yes, I know that. Yoirfeel that he feels old, and it's perfectly- tragical:. -Sometimes when he turns that slow, dull, melaneholy look on you, he seems a thousand years old." "1 dou't mean that he's positively old," said Mrs. Bowen. "He's onlyold comparatively." • "Oh yes; I understand that. And: I don't mean thathe really seems a thous- and years old. What I meant was, he seems a thousand years off, as if he were still young, and had got left behind somehow. He seems to he on the other side of, seine impassable .barrier, and you want Ito get over there and help him to our side, but you can't do it. I sup, pose his 'talking in that light way is merely a subterfuge to hide his; feeling, to make him forget." Mr. Bowen fingered the etigL of her book. " You musn't let -your fancy run away with you, Imogene," she said, with a, little painful smile. "Oh, I like to let it run away with me. And When I get mole a subject as Mr. Colville, there's no stopping. • I can't stop, and I don't wish to stop. Shouldn't you have , thought that he would have been perfectly crushed it . • • e exhibition ie made of himself in the Lancers last night? He ,wahn't the least embarras cd when he met mo, and the only allusi n he made to it was to say that he ha been up late, and had danced too ra ch. Wasn't it wonder- ful he -could do it? Oh, if 1 emild do that !" • " with he cosuir have avoided the occasion for his ravado " said Mrs. Been. . "1 think I was.a, little to blame, pen. .haps," said the girl. ' "1 beckoned hiM to come and take the vacant place." "I don't see that that was an excuse," returned Mrs. Bowen, prirnly Imogene, seemed insensible to the tone, as it concerned herself; it only apparently reminded her of • something. "Guess what Mr. Colvi11e said, when had been sillY; and then tried to mak up for it by being very dignified all of sudden ? "1 don't know. How had you beei silly?" • The servant broil ht in some cards Imogene caught up he pelisse which sh had been gradtially shedding as she sa 'talking to Mrs. Bos en, and ran out o the room by anothe • door.- • They did not r cur to the subject: But that night,. n Mrs. Bowen went to say good -night te Effie, after the child had gone to bed, sh lingered. "Effie," she said at -last, in a -husky whisper, "what di Imogene say to Mr. Colville to -day that made ' him laugh ?" I don't kribir," id the child. "They 'kept laughing at so many things." " Laughin ?" Yes ; he. aeghe Do you mean to- ward the last he he had heen throw- ing stones int he ver ?" "It must have be n then." The child stretch d herself drowsily " Oh, I couldn't un erstand itall. She wanted to throw a seae in the river, but he told. her she uol better not. but that didn't make h m laugh. She was so very stiff just af -rward that he said the weather had ch nged, and that made us laugh." " Was that all ?" "We kept ladighi a ever so long. I never saw any, on Ike Mr. •Colville. How queerly1 the re shines on your face! It gives you .ueh a beautiful com- plexion." "Does it?" " Yes, .levely.." The child's mother stopped over and ki sed her. " You're the .prettiest niarnnii. in the world," she said, throwing her arms round her neck. " Son-retimes Fcan't tell whether Imo- gene is prettier br not, but to -night Poi certain you are. Do 'you like to have me think that ?" Yes, yes. And don't pull me down S0 ; you hurt mfr neck. Good -night." The childlet her o. haven't said my prayer yet, Mamma. I was think- ing." " Well say it now, then," taid the mother, gently., When the dhild had finished she turned upon her cheek. Good -night, mamma. • Mrs. Bowen strent about the room a little -while, picking up its pretty dis- order. Then she sat down in a chair by the hearth, where a log was still burn- ing. The light of the flame flickered upon her face, an 1 threw upon the ceiling a writhing, -fantastic shadoW, the odious ceoicature of her gentle beauty. 1(To be Continued.) A' Spoiled child. REV. MR. STURGEOt 'S WIFE, HER wrier AND ITS FULFILMENT. "During an illne s of Mrs. Spurgeom before Mr. Spuraeo I left her room fin' the journey he was contemplating, she remarked that she sQped he would not be annoyed with ler for telling him what had been p ssing through 'bee mind. • She made h in, however, prone- ise that he would not procure the ob- jects for whic.h she had been longing. She then told him s le had been wishing for a pipingsbullfine and an onyx ring. pf course Mr. Spurge() I expressed his wil- lingness to get both, but she held him to • his promise. He h d to make a sick call on his way to t le station as well Us hall at the Tabern I cle. Shortly after reaching the sick 1 erson's -house, the mother of the Ipatiel t, to his amusement asked Mr. Spt rgeo if Mrs. S. would like a piping- sullth ch; that they had • one, but thet its m sic was trying to the invalid, aild the would gladly part • with it to one who A mild give it the re- quisite care. He t en made his call at •the Tabernae e, a id after reading a voluminous co resp ndence, came at last We, letter and pa eel underlying the other letters. The letter was from a lady unknown to hi n, who had received 'benefit from his ser s ices in the Taber- nacle, and as i, ' slig t token of her ap- preciation of these services asked his acceptance of the nelosed onyx ring, j necklet and biacele s, for which she had no fur her use , Th s intensified his sur- prise, and he hastened hone with what had been so stiange y sent, went up into his wife's -sick room and placed the ob- jeets she had lon ed for before her. She met him with a Idok of pained re- proach, as if he had allowed his regard to override his pro nise, but when he detailed the true c rcumstances of the case, she was filled with surpr:se, and asked Mr. Spurges) what he thought of it? His reply was, characteristic: "1 think you are on of your heavenly Father's spoiled chi dren, and He just gives you whatever you ask for." —A few days ag Dr. McKechnie, of Thorndale pt in a resh supply of vac- cine' points, and soi le of them happened to be exposed to view on his counter.
