No one said anything more of the musicales, and the afternoon and even- ing wore away without general talk. Each seemed willing to keep apart from the rest. Dunham suffered Lydia to come on deck alone after tea, and Stani- ford found her there, in her usual place, when he went up some time later. He approached her at once, and said, smil- ing down into her face, to which the moonlight gave a pale mystery, "Miss Blood, did you think_ I was very wicked to -day at dinner ?" Lydia looked away, and waited a mo- ment before she spoke. "I don't know," she said; Then, impulsively, "Did you ?" she asked. "No, honestly, 1 don't think I was," answered Staniford. "But seemed to leave that impression on the company.. I felt ai little nasty; that was all ; and I tried to hurt Mr. Dunham's feel But I shall make it right with him fore I sleep; he knows that. He's used to having me repent at leisure. Do you ever walk Sunday night ?" "Yea, sometimes," said Lydia, inter- rogatively. "I'm glad of that. Then I shall not offend against your scruples if I ask you to join me in a little ramble, and you will refuse from purely personal con- siderations. Will you walk with me ?" Lydia rose. • "And will you take my arm'?" asked Staniford, a little surprised at her readi- ness. "Thank you." She put her hand upon his arm, con- fidently enough, and they begin to walk up and down the stretch of open deck together. " Well," said Staniford, "did Mr. Dunham convince you all?" "I think he talke beautifully about it," replied Lydia, with quaint stiff- ness. " am glad you see what a very good fellow he is. I have a real affection for Dunham." "Oh, yes, he's good. At first it sur- prised me. I mean "— " No, no," Staniford quickly inter- rupted, "why did it surprise you to find Danharn good;" "I don't know: You don't expect a person to be serious who is so—so"— - "Handsome ?" " No,—so----I don't -know just how to say it: fashionable." Staniford '1 Why, Miss Blood, you're fashionably dressed your- self, not to go any farther, and you're serious." - "It's different with a man," the girl explained, "Well, then, how about me ?" asked Staniford. "Ain I too well dressed to be expected to be serious ?" "Mr. Dunham always seems in earn- est," Lydia answered, evasively. "And you think one can't be in earn- est without being serious !" Lydia suf- fered one of those silences to ensue in which Staniford had already found him- self helpless. Ile knew that he should be forced to break it; and he said, with a little spiteful mocking, "1 suppose the young men of South Bradfield are both serious and earnest." " How ?" asked Lydia. "The young men of South Bradfield." - "I told you that there were none. They all go away." 6' Well, then the young •men of e Springfield, of lieene, of Greenfield." "I can't tell. I am not acquainted there." Staniford had begun to have a dis- agreeable suspicion that her ready con - :tent to walk up and down with a young man in the moonlight might have come fram a habit of the kind. But it ap- peared that her fearlessness was like that of wild birds in those desert islands where man has never come. The dis- covery gave him pleasure out of propor- tion to its importance, and he paced 'tack and. forth in a silence that no longer chafed. Lydia walked very well, and kept his step with rhythmic unison, -as if they were walking to music to- gether. That's the- time in her pulses," he thought, and then he said, "Then you don't have a great deal of aocial excitement, I supposee—dancing, and that kind of thing? Though per- haps you don't approve of dancing ?' could be confronted with them, even in his present lordliness of mood. In a fashion of his when he convicted him- self of anything, he laughed aloud. Lydia shrank a little from him'in ques- tion. "1 beg your pardon," he said. "1 was laughing at something I happen- ed to think of. Do you ever find your- self struggling very hard to be what you think people think you are ?" "Oh, yes," replied Lydia. "Bu thought no one else did." "Everybody does the thing that think no one else does," said Stanif sententiously. "1 don't know whether I quite I it," said Lydia. "It seen -is like hyp risy. It used to worry me. Someti I wondered if I had any real . self. seemed to be jut what people made and a different person to each." "I'm glad to hear it, Miss Blood. are companions in hypocrisy. As are such nonentities we shall not all each other at all." Lydia laugh "Don't you think so? What are y laughing at? I told you what w ings. laughing at !" be- t` But I didn't ask you." "You wished to know." "Yes, I did." "Then you ought to tell me what wish to know." "It's nothing," said Lydia. `' thought you were mistaken in what y Said." " Oh ! Then you believe that there enough of you to affect me ?" " No." • " The other way, then ?" She did not answer. "I'm delighted !" exclaimed Stan ford. "1 hope I don't exert an uncom fortable influence. Ifshould be very u happy to think so." Lydia stoope sidewise, away from him, to get a fres hold of her skirt, which she was carry ing in her right hand, and she hung little more heavily upon his arm. " hope I -make you think better of your self—very self-satisfied, very conceite even." "No," said Lydia. "You piclue my curiosity beyond len durance. lel! me how I make yo feel." She looked quickly roind at him as i to see whether he was in earnest "Why, it's nothing," she said. "Yo made me feel as if you were laughing a everybody." It flatters a man to be accused of sar casm by the other sex, and Staniford was not superior to the soft pleaaure o the reproach. "Do you think I make other people feel so, too ?" - "Mr. Dunham said "— " Oh ! Mr. Dunham his been talking me over with you, has he? What did he tell you of me? There is nobody like a true friend for dialing an under- hand blow at one's reputation. Wait till you hear my account of Dunham! What did he say ?" "He said that was 'only your way of laughing at yourself." "The traitor ! What did you say r "1 don't know that I said any -- thing." "You were reserving your opinion for my own hearing?" " No." t I we ord ike 00- mes me, Ve we ect ed. ou as I ou 's n- "Oh, yes, 1 like it. Sometimes the _ summer boarders get up little dances at the hotel." _ "Oh, the summer boarders !" Stani- ford had overlooked them. The young men get them up,and invite the ladies ?" he pursued. "There are no young men, generally, among the summer • boarders. The ladies dance together. Most of the gentlemen are old, or else invalids." "�h !" said Staniford. " At the Mill Village, where I've taught two winters, they have dances sometimes—the mill hands do." "And do you go "No. They are nearly all French Canadians and Irish people." Then you, like dancing because there are no gentlemen to dance with ?" There are gentlemen at the pic- nics." "The picnics?" "Te teachers' picnics. They have them every summer, in the grove by the pond." There was, then a high-browed, peptid high-school principal, and the desert -island theory was probably all wrong. It vexed Staniford, when he had so nearly got the compass of her social life, to find thie unexplored corner in it. "And I suppose you are leaving very agreeable friends among the teachers?" • "Some of them are pleasant. But I don't know them very well. I've only been to one of the picnics." Staniford drew a long, silent breath. After all, he knew everything. He mechanically dropped a little the arm on which her hand rested, that it might slip farther within. Her timid remote - nese had its charm, and he fell to think- ing, with amusement, how she who was so subordinate to him was, in the dimly known sphere in which he had been groping to find her, probably a person of authority and coneequenee. It satisfied a certain domineering quality in him to have reduced her to this humble atti- tude, while it increased the protecting tenderness he was beginning to have for her. His mind went eff further upon this matter of one's different attitudes toward different persons • he thought of men and women too, before whom he ehould instantly feel like a boy, if he "Why don't you tell me what you thought? It might be of great use to me, I'm in earnest now ; I'm serious. Will you tell me ?" " Yes, some time," said Lydia, who wits both amused and mystified at this persistence. " When ? To -morrow ?" "Oh, that's too soon. When I get to Venice !" "Ah! That's a subterfuge. You know we shall part in Trieste." '• I thought,' said Lydia, "you were coining to Venice, too." . "Ob, yes, but I shouldn't be able to see you there." "Why not?" "Why not?:Why, because "— He -was near telling the young girl who hung upon his arm, and walked up and down with him in the moonlight, that in the wicked Old World towards which they were sailing young people could not meet save in the eight and hearing of their elders, and that a confidential ana- lysis of character would be impossible between them there. The wonder of her being where she was, as she was, returned upon him with a freshness that it had been losing in the custom of the week past. "Because you will be so much taken up with yovr friends," he said, lamely. He added quickly, "There's one thing I should like to know, Miss Blood ; did you hear ,what Mr. Dunham and I were saying, last night, when we stood in the gangway and kept you from coming up ?' • _ Lydia waited a moment, Then she said, "Yes, I couldn't help hearing it." "That all right. I don't care for your hearing what I said. But—I hope it wasn't true ?" - "1 couldn't understand what you meant by it," she answered, evasively, but rather faintly. "Thanks," said Staniford. "1 didn't mean anything. It was merely the guilty consciousness of a generally dis- agreeable person." They walked up and down many turns without saying anything. She could not have made any direct protest, and it pleased him that she &mid not frame any flourishing generalities. `Wes," Staniford re- sumed, "1 Will try to see you as I pass through 'V enice. And I will come to hear you sing when you come out at Milan." "Come out? At Milan ?", "Why, yes ! You are going to study at the conservatory in Milan ?' " How did you know that ?" demand- ed Lydia. "From hearing you to -day. -May I tell you how much I liked your sing- ing ?' • "My aunt thought I ought to culti- vate my voice. But I would never go upon the stage. I would rather sing in a church. I should like that better than teaching." "I think you're quite right," said Staniford, gravely. "It's certainly much better to sing in a church than to sing in a theatre. Though 1 believe the theatre pays best." "Oh, I don't care for that. All I should want would be to make a liv- ing." The reference to her poverty touched him. It was a confidence, coming from one so reticent, that was of value. Efe waited a moment and said, "It's sur- prising how well we keep our footing here, isn't it? There'a hardly any swell, but the ship pitches. . I think we walk better together than alone." THE H 0 RON EXPOSITOR' "Yee," answered Lydia, "I think we "You muan't let me tire you. I'm indefatigable." - "Oh, Tin not tired. I like it,—walk- ing," "Do you walk much at home ?" "Not much. It's a pretty good walk to the school -house." " Oh ? Then you like walking at sea better than you do on shore?" It isn't the custom, much. If there were any one else, I should have liked it there, but it's 'rather dull, going by yourself." "Yes, I understand how that is," said Staniford, dropping his teasing tone. It's stupid. And I suppose it's pretty lonesome at South Bradfield every way." "It is,—winters," admitted Lydia. "In the summer you see people at any rate but in winter there are days and days when hardly one panes. The snow is banked .up everywhere." lie felt her give an involuntary shiver; and he began to talk to her about the climate to which she was go- ing. It was all stranger to her than he 3ould have realized, and less intelligible. She remembered California very dimly, and -She had no experience by which she oould compare and adjust his facts. He made her walk up and down more and more swiftly, and, he lost himself in the comfort of his own talking and of her listening, and he failed to note the little falterings with which she expressed her weariness. All at once he halted, and said, " Why, you're out of breath! I beg your pardon. You should have stopped me. Let us sit down." He wished to walk across the deck to .where the seats were, but she just per- ceptibly withstood his motion, and he forebore. "1 think I won't sit down," she said. "1 will go down stairs." She began withdrawing her hand from his arm. He put his right hand upon hers, and when it came out of his arm it remained in his hand. • "I'm afraid you won't walk with me again," said Staniford. "I've tired you shamefully." "Oh, not at all !" "And you will?" "Thanks. You are very amiable.' He still held her hand. He pressed it. The pressure was not returned, but her hand seemed to quiver and throb in his like &bird held there. For the time neither of them spoke, and it seemed a long time. Staniford found himself carrying her hand towards his lips; and she was helplessly, trustingly, let- ting him. He dropped her hand, and ,said ab- ruptly, "Good -night." "Good -night," she answered, and ceased from his side like a ghost. Staniford sat in 'elie moonlight, and tried to think what the steps were that had brought him to this point; but there were no steps of which he was sensible. He remembered thinking the night before that the conditions were those of flirtation; to -night this had not occurred to him. The talk had been of the West commonplaces : yet he had pressed her hand and kept it in his, and had been about to kiss it. He bit- terly considered the disparity between his present attitude and the stand he had taken when he declared to Dunham that it reeted with them to guard her peculiar isolation from anything that she could remember with pain or humilia- tion when she grew wiser in the world. He recalled his rage with Elieks.and the insulting condemnation of his bearing towards him ever since ; and could Hicks have done' worse? He had done better: he had kept away from her; he had let her alone. That night Staniford slept badly, and woke with a restless longing to see the girl, and to read in her face whatever her thoughts of him had been. But Lydia did not come out to breakfast. Thomas reported that she had a head- ache, and that he had already carried her the tea and toast she wanted. "Well, it seems kind of lonesome without her," said the captain. "It don't seem as if we could get along." It seemed desolate to Staniford, who let the talk flag and fail round him with- out an effort to rescue it. All the morning he lurked -about, keeping -out of Dunham's way, and fighting hard through a dozen pages ot a book, to which he struggled to nail his wander- ing mind. A . headache was a little matter, but it might be.even less than a headache-. He belated himself purpose- ly at dinner, and entered the cabin just as Lydia issued from her state room door. She was pale and looked heavy -eyed. As she lifted her glance to bim, she blushed; and he felt the answering red stain his face. %Then she sat down, the captain patted her on the shoulder with his burly right hand, and said she could not navigate the ship if she got sick. He pressed her to eat of this and that; and when she said she would not, he said, well, there was no use trying to force an appetite, and that she would be better all the sooner for dieting. Hicks went to his state -room, and came out with a box of guava jelly, from his private stores, and won a triumph enviable in all eyes when Lydia consented to like it with the chicken. Dunham plundered his own and Staniford's common stock of dainties for her dessert; the first of- ficer agreed and applauded right and left; Staniford alone sat taciturn and inoperative, watching her face furtively. Once her eyes wandered to • the side of the table where he and Dunham sat; then she colored and dropped her glance. -He took his book again after dinner, and with his finger between the leaves, at the last -read, unintelligible page, he went out to the bow, and crouched down there to renew the conflict of the morn- ing. It was not long before Dunham followed. Hc stooped over to lay a hand on either of Staniford's shoulders. "What Makes you avoid me, old man?" he demanded, looking into Staniford's face with his frank, kind eyes. "And I avoid you?" asked Stani- ford. "Yes, why?" "Because I feel rather shabby, I sup- pose. I knew I felt shabby, but I did- n't know I was avoiding you." "Well, no matter. If you feel shab- by, it's all right • but I hate to have you feel shabby." Ile got his left hand down into Staniford's right, and a tacit reconciliation was transacted between Chntinued cn 3rd page.)
