BY LUCY 0. LILLIE.
Continued.
Midway the school -house stood in a little
clearing.
13ita, OS she stepped forward to pat the
key into the door, seemed to the young
man to give a peculiar enchantmet to the
scene. There was something emphaticallY
sylvan about her in her light muslins her
little white bonnet, and her curling, gleam-
ing hair. "Will you come in?" she asked,
smiling back at him. The room was small,
and presented only the usual aspects of a
countryschool house, but about the little
teacher, desk were some signs or touches
which already appealed to the young man as
characteristic. He looked at her small
treasures while she seated herself in her
chair.
A certain spirit of fun, or of extreme
youth, possessed them both.
"Pretend you are a scholar," she said.
"You must nit in Johnny Gibbs's chair, for
he is the cleverest."
"But I am not clever," pleaded Macbane,
taking the chair indicated.
"Well, you are big, anyway, which is
next best. Now, Johnny Gibbs, spell your
name."
" M -a -c-" began the unhappy scholar.
But Rita Only laughed -gleefully. "1 am
ashamed of you," she said. i" Wellerohnny,
you eau sing, I know."
"Not in here," said Macbane, springing
up. "Can't we sit on the door -step and
eat the lunch ?"
She came down at once. "01 course.
Are yon very hungry? It is only pie."
"Pie is delightful," said Macbane, and
lazily watched her as she spread out a nap-
kin on the round stone of one of the steps,
and decorating it with leaves, laid out the
repast.
The steps •were wide and really comfort -
aIle; overhead the trees arched with their
• boughs, and the little clearing had a pleas-
ant faint odor of pines. Rita had spread a
shawl over a bit of the ground, and sat
there contentedly, while Methane was above
her. Suddenly she became aware that he
was looking at her with a curious smile -
half perplexed, half sad.•
"01 what are you thinking ?" she said,
gravely.
"Well, I will tell you -of how very odd
it is for us to be so soon good friends, when
until last night we had never so much as
seen each other."
A flush crept slowly over her cheeks and
brow, and faded away before she said. I
had seen you before," •
"Oh, at the ticket office; and so had I
seen you."
She was silent. Although there was not
one suspicion of coquetry -in the girl, -yet he
bit a slight contempt for letting their con-
versation drift into so common an exchange
of personalities.
"It is going to rain," said Rita, lifting
her face to the spaoe in the boughs above,
"and a thunder -storm has been threaten-
ing; so we must be off,"
"Oh, that isn't rain !" said Macbane,
looking up also. " You are like my Cap-
tain Cherry. He is always afraid it is go-
ing,to rain."
Your what ?" inquired Rita.
Macbane seemed to be lost in thought.
"Oh, the captain of a yacht I was on," he
said, with some gloom.
"Do you know, I long to see or to be on
a ya,eht," she said, presently. ; but there
was no response until Methane said,
"You haven't told me how you liked the
concert yet," and would at once have given
worlds to unsay the words.
"Yes," said the girl, with her direct,
sweet gaze, "1 told you; don't you re-
member ?"
"But that was only my part."
"Oh," she said, somewhat carelessly,
"1 don't think I liked the dancing -that is,
for a man. Do you know --I'll tell you con-
fidentially -I shouldn't have liked to see my
brother do that." -
"Have you a brother ?" said the now
triumphant Macbane.
" No," she said; "bub if I had."
"He'd like cheese," said Macbane,
dreamily.
"Bow ?" said the girl.
Macbane laughed, and then of course had
to tell her the story of Dudreaey's wooing.
She enjoyed it greatly. - "I'd like to see
that," she said, patting the napkin care-
fully away. In fade -P..
"In fact, child," said the young man,
you'd like to see it all. Have you ever
seen anything ?" He smiled.
"Yes," she said-" the County Fair
I twice, and Philadelphia once."
" Onee-for how long ?"
"Two nights and a day; but it rained,
so we didn't go out." -
" Well, there is more than that for you
to see -when it doesn't rain."
"Which it is certainly going to do now;
it will only be a quick shower,but unites we
stop here there will be no chance of shel-
ter."
"Where ?" said Macbane, glancing about
the unsightly piece of woodland.' -
Rita plunged into a little thicket to the
left, glancing merrily at him over her
shoulder.
He followed. A sort of bower had been
ettleffiPLIC10121.7lefLe

rudely constructed Of 'spruce and pine trees.
About them now hung the fadedbrancheso
some flowering vine, evidently the ghosts o
some recent festal desoration. -
"What is this ?" laughed Methane
standing before it, and looking up and
down and around the poor little place.
t Was a bower," she returned. "My
boys undertook to give me an an entertain

dare say. So the boys have a little
fu in them ?"
Rita considered a moment. $$ No,e she
said, thoughtfidly, "1 don't know that
they really hava fun; there isn't anything
here to be funny about." .
I see."
‘f But they are very good and nice to me,
they had saved up ever so long for this. We
really had quite a party; and Jeted--"
"Did he approve ?"
The girl looked at him earnestly a mo-
ment, scrutinizing the careless, handsome
face of the young man before her. He had
one band above his head, pulling idly at the
twigs the other thrust into his loose blue
flannel coat, and evidently quite easy in
this attitude, he was smiling down upon the
girl, the impersonation of everything fine
and manly and independent -as she thought
- in the world which she had never seen.
Yet Rita's color slowly and painfully rose.
Something hurt her keenly, and she turned
her head aside.
Methane's smile vanished. "1 beg your
parden, Miss Tall," he said, contritely.
"My name isn't Tall," said the girl, still
looking down.
To her blank amazement the little wood
fairly rang with his laugh. "What," he
said, "you too Is this a nightmare ?"
" Oh!" cried the girl, I don't under.
stand you. Do tell me what, you mean!
What did I say I suppose because you
knew it was uncle's name you concluded
it must be mine as well; so I didn't cor-
pot you, thinking it would only be for a
few hours, and of no consequence."
During her broken sentences Machine had
recovered ;himself, and thoroughly appre-
ciated the naturalness of the situation.
"1 am afraid," he said, very urgently
but calmly, 'my. imagination has become
Jantastic. .And to tell you the truth, I
have had a great deal on my mind lately
- much; much I wish I could tell you
about."
The sweet face of the girl had grown full
ot tender womanly pity. "Oh, have you?"
she said, in a very gentle tone.
She seemed such a child, and yet a wo-
man; but involuntarily Macbane, looking
down at her grave and tender eyes, said,
"Yes, dear," and with a sigh really genu-
ine turned and walked out toward the path.
The rain had begun with swift dashes, then
„flying, as it were, upon, theni. He tinned
back t� Rita, who was sitting on the wood-
en flooring of the - bower, leaning back
against the withered leaves and greenery,
well protected from the storm, but evident-
ly thinking but little of any such danger.
Her mind had only grasped the fact that
this splendid, careless -looking; young man
had trouble, and if .Macbane had
understood the feminine nature better
he would have known this to be • the mo-
ment for the recital of his luckless tale.
"My name is really Breton," she said,
suddenly, and in a very quiet voice.
"There, didn't I tell you it would: rain?
Why don't you come and silt there on that
stsi ?"
•; 04 passed it, now was thrilled and shin-
ing, moved by a little faint wind, so that it
f . shed its glistening drops on the ground be-
low., and seemed anxious to make its unet-
• pected charm apparent. And in the tw
. 'hours since they had left the path,tiomething
certainly had come into both minds ano
hearts as unexpected as it was joyous. To
Methane it was the delight of finding so
fresh, to sweet, so strong a nature, to Rita
it was the sense of something new in life, in
all the world; for women of her tempera.
ment when touched by the right hand send
many vague and inystio feelings in response;
already she was beginning to think of what
her ideal might be.
They were rather silent until they neared
the stile which led to the last field. Then
Rita said, "Who is that?'
A light and happy figure was °ready the
field -a yloung rnan with a sketch boo un-
der his ern), It was most undeniably Bret.
The other two stood still, but Bret saw
them from a distance, bailed hie friend with
a wave of the sketch -book, and on nearing
them took Off his his hat respectfully to
Miss Breton. -
What glances passed between the two
men Rita did not see. But Bret was 'true
to his friend. -
"1 called at your aunt's, Mini Breton
he said, very politely, when Macbane had
introduced him, "and she desired me to
come here in search of my friend-Brig-
noll."
• "Yes," said Rita; "she knows this path
very well." -
" I found mystli detained," continued.
Bret, without a glance at his friend. "But
really the hospitality of Bynum is so de.
lightful I can't be sorry. I take the 7 p. m.
train this evening." -
Bret's fleent conversational ability kept
up the party pistil they reached Mrs. Tall's
cortagweas-two o'clock, an. hour Oast that fot
dinner, but the :hospitable hostess had put
away the wanderer's meal, and they enjoyed
it no doubt better than the more formal
family repast.
Bret, whose spirits were unquenchable,
accompanied them into the little dining -
room, where he rattled on, te the relief of
;Rita, who found herself suddenly silenced.
'She disappeared after dinner'Attending to
her household duties, and then going Up
to her own room, sat down to think over
the events of the past two days.. Was it
only yesterday that hisre in thh very room
she had tied on her white bonnet togo down
for the tickets? It seemed to her that the
time might have been a year, so much had
come to her, so singular a possession of life!
The visitors were on the back piazza,ovee-,
looking the only really pretty part of the
place, the old-fashioned garden with its
many and sweet fragrance's.
Rita soon went down again, appearing in
the door a little timidly. Bret's sketch-
book was Open on his knee, and Macbane
was looking over his shoulder.
As the younggirl joined theni, sitting
down in a low wicker rocking chair, Mac -
bane remarked that she looked pale.
"Oh, do I ?" she said, and blushed. Mao -
bane came over to her side of the porch,and
they talked ten or fifteen minutes, uncon-
scious that Bret's'airy penoil wasflying over
a clean sheet in his book. It was when
Rita rose for some purpose that he said,
pleadingly,
Oh, Mimi Breton, please don't Move I"
The young girl involuntarily resumed her
seat.
"Oh, are you drawing me ?" she said,
laughing. "May I see it when it is fin-
ished ?"
"00 one -condition," rejoined Bret -
"that you let me have a sketch of you in
your white bonnet."
To Rita it seemed the utmost piece of
fun. She departed promptly for the bon-
net, and,* once Macbaneexclaimed :
"But what are you doing? Don't you
see what an unsuspeeting girl she is? She
doesn't guess you'll 'use that lovely face
of hers in your next picture."
"What it she did ?" said Bret, without
looking up; "She'd be flattered. These
country belles are always vain."
By heavens, boy I" exclaimed Mac.
ban, "is that all, the discrimination you
have? Can't you Otte the fibre she's made
of ?"
"Then just let your old uncle Bret give
you a piece of advice," said that youth,
looking up shrewdly. " Don't impose upon
her too long yourself -hear ?"
Macbane groaned. Before he could speak
Rita, looking charming in her white bonnet,
had rejoined them.
This time she ,posed carefully, and in
spite of Macbane'si walking off down the
garden paths, Rita thoroughly enjoyed the
novelty of the occasion. And Bret really
sketched well; his knack of reproducing
the dainty, subtle element of any face Waft
really clever, and at the end of an hour,
when Macbane returned, it was to find a
creditable and (Alarming likeness of Miss
Breton, though, to his rage,it was on a page
of Bret's book.
Deacon and Mrs. Tali were delighted, and
an hour more was employed in making
sketches of them, which the younger man
did with his usual good humor, presenting
them to the old couple with the promise of a
copy of the one he had made of Miss
Breton.
We
this was in progress Macbane and
Rita were in the garden, she gathering
flowers for the tea -table he standing near
her, longing to say something uneivil about.
Bret's work, and to explain himself, yet re-
strained by honor from the one, and by
shame from the other.
So the afternoon wore away. Bret de-
parted with joyous good-byes, and vows to
visit Byrams again. And then came the
dusk, the- evening, and finally the moon-
light, for which both Rita and Macbane had
been wishing, so that _once again they
might see the country under its enchant-
ment.
• And the moon favored them. Again By -
rams was divested of .its meanneas ; again
the bridge and the little tank shone silvery,
and the heavens shed. their radiance -gave
their "patens of . bright gold "for lustre
even to this dingy corner of the earth.
"1 never shall forget •this time, Mies
Breton," Macbane said as they stood on the
little porch. He realized at once that it
was a very commonplace remark.
- "Oh, I dare say you will," said the girl..
"Let me see. You will go sway and perhaps
in years to come someone will say, Do you
remember a place called Bryams ?' .And you
will give that pepliar little frown to your
eyebrows, and- '
"Did you notice that ?" said Macbane
_ $
intensely pleased.
"Yee," she pursued; "and you will.
answer: 'Byrams Byrams? Why, yes, I
think 1 do',"
"Very well," returned Methane, 000-
t- tentedly. "Wait and see."
l She smiled mischievously. How long ?"
she asked, with her happy laugh.
"Oh, until next summer," he responded.
It had been arranged that Macbane was
to leave by the ten o'clock train the next
morning-Jered Hopkins to drive him
over to the station; but long before that
hour the visitor appeared at Jered's door,
requesting to be conveyed to another de-
pot, the train from which left at six °Wools.
When Rita came down -stairs she was met
rather suddenly by her aunt in the parlor
. door.xt
Mrs. Tall's expression was certainly pe
cuter. "That young man has gone, my
dear," she said, rather grimly.
"Gone I" Rita echoed the word with a
far -away sort of feeling. A strange, dizzy
sensation came over her.
Yes," pursued Mrs. Tall, Making her

e mutely obeyed. The place wale:really
sheltered and comfortable.
"So your name is Breton," he said, lean -
log back against the post of the bower and
folding his arms. "That's not a common
name -Rita Breton."
"Alice," the girl corrected, gently. It
is only at Uncle Tall's they call Me Rita."
"Oh, you don't life there always ?"
He felt an unaccountable joy over this
fact.
--
She looked down meditativ. ely folding
and unfolding with both hands a piece of
her pretty muslin gown.
"['11 tell you,I guess," he said at length.
"---My mother married a second time when I
was quite young. She -well, she really sup-
posed that Mr. Eversley would let me stay
with her; but he wouldn't, and so I came
here."
" Wies her marriage happy ?" _
Rita shook her head. "Not entirely. He
is old and very cross. I was with them one
year, and he treated me very unkindly. My
aunt here -she is my mother's half -sister -
came ai d found it out, and I cried to go
home with her. So I came. It isn't mitt%
of a st ry, you see," she added, smiling,
but lifting eyes to his face where the sus-
picion of tears lingered. • .

"It has a great deal in it,my dear child,'
said Maedane, quietly. - "1 can well irro
agine all that it involved. • Aed here You
have been ever since, except for that rainy
day in Philadelphia."
" Yes."
"And are you happy ?i,
A dangerous question to ask any girl Who
has seen nothing; and yet whose nature is
full of ardent longings.
"What is it to be happy ?" asked Alice,
unconscious that she was repeating the rid-
dle of ages.
"Ab" cried Macbane, "you must learn
to be a philoeopher to answer that! I have
my ideal of happiness; but if I attained
it, would it satisfy anything in me ?"
"What is it ?-tell me," she urged. But
for some reason the sense of their disparities
came upon him ; he felt it out of the ques-
tion that he should give any part of his real
self to this child. .
"Tell me yours," he responded.
"1 have never been able to tell myself,"
she answered, simply.
Macbane sprang to his feet. "Miss
Breton," he said, laughing, "1 own myself
answered, and taught a lesson. I have
fancied myself somewhat of a philosopher,
but you -having seen nothing, as you say,
certainly not knowing anything of the
world -are ahead of me in my most beloved
science."
She laughed too, merrily. "That is
- great nonsense," she said, standing up.
Now don't you think the shower is over
sufficiently for us to go on ?"

way to the kitchen. "He found he had
business which. would take him away
early." -
And that was all that Rita °Odd learn.
In fact she scarcely tried to turn the con-
versation on a subject which quickly became
painful. No one in Byrams could have said
anything of-bim which she cared to hear;
and yet from time to time there would arise
in the girl's young heart & wild longing just
to heir his name spoken. but it never reach-
ed her ears. Byrams luid no doubt received
an immense advantage by the concert of
July, but its outer crust of dullness or
apathy was too thiok to make the impres-
sion so lasting that the personality of the
singers meant anything to them. Gradually
they °gine to be spoken of collectively as,
"that band," and so the individuality so
vivid to Rita Breton's mind was merged in-
to the general and vague impression of the
whole. She had long been accustomed to
reserve, and now this came fortunately to
her rescue, for there was no desire for
speech, no sense that an outlet was neces-
sary. Such relief as her feeinge needed the
girl found when her little school opened,and
she betook herself once more over the famil-
iar ground, and found with a pang of dis-
may as well as tortured remembrance how
every pare held its meaning for her. It was
the first day of school when she trusted her-
self over that ground, and seemed ; for the
first time to realize herself, to know what
had been in her mind all these weeks, as
visions like phantoms started up here and
there, confronting her now with an ex-
quisite rush of tender feeling, now with a
.smile, remembering some lighter mood,
again with a dread lest she had in reality
been creating for herself some ideal which i
time must nevitably dash down; for it
was characteristic of the girl, with all her
buoyancy of nature to expect little for
herself. It never bad; occurred to her
that she had any special rights in life or
nature. Free and happy and wholesome- -
hearted as she had been, kept apart from
the world of movement or strife seeing
her duty in the simple round of life at
Byrams, possibilities were hard kir her to
grasp. But now, alone, as she trod the
same -ground on a September morning
where she had once carried a free spirit,
the girl felt that she bad assumed a fetter.
Something .arose within her J which made
her see herself wholly a different being.
Whence or why had it come? It took its
fcrm in her recalling every word that he
had spoken, every look that she had noted
on his handsome, brave young face, in
glancing with a pang at the places he had
occupied, suddenly ieeming to behold him
again in the little clearing, idling in the
bower, or even standing lifting his face up
with outstretched hand to the sky; and as
each memory smote upon her she tried to
banish it, and above all to hide the joyous
hope that he would come again ; but youth
is stronger in its powers of belief than all
else, and with, an . anxious heart she
knew that she was Waiting. There
was nti sentimentality about the girl,
or she would have condoled with her
self and grown to believe herself a
deserted heroine of romance. No, even the
loneliness that she felt was full of bravery,
and tinged by no melancholy that was un-
wholesome. Still there was something al-
ways mi -sing now. The girl felt it when
she no longer could take delight in her old
pleasures, when the prospect of a winter at
Byrams seemed hard to bear.

• Rare Packs of Cards.
The oldest pack 'of cards found in the
United States is a deck which VP48 discover-
ed in perfect condition in a closet in an
ancient house in New Jersey. The date of
the pack is of the time of Charles I, and the
cards are of English make. Some very old
playing cards have been found in the board
bindings of early books. It looks as if illu-
strative art was used in the making of
cards even before the pictures in books of
religion, which shows that man thought
more of his amusement than of the saving of
his soul. At*a recent sale in London some
old playing cards were disposed of. A geo-
graphical pack, 1675, with the. rare explana-
tory card deecrileing other packs of the per-
iod, brought £8'; pack of old proverb cards,
not in the British museum catalogue, £4
lis ; Dutch satirical cards, first quarter of
the eighteenth century, with the We sup-
plemental cards, £3 18a; a pack of grotes-
que cards; the suits cleverly designed and
colored, •£2- lOs ; a pack illustrating the
American civil war, with portraits of the
generals engaged therein, £2 2s; and the
rare popish plot pack; pubished in 1679, one
