Captain Lewcaeter and his friend. hav- ing brought letters of introduction from England, were having rather a give time in the cultured and aesthetie cervices of Boston. They had made the grand toter of the States, li'rger`ng at the last in the beautiful city where they hadnade some very pleaaaut acquaintinte,, and kvhere, as eligibles of the firer Water. they were feted and courted in the heat flattering manner by the fashionable people of the place.

Wcse should come after it her- self, Yet Captain Laneaeter was not a bad end ,tel.flsh man, ea one might have supposed from his reluctance to do this kindness. The whole gist of the matter lay in the fact that his aunt had so cave, lierly ordered him to do it. He chafed beneath the plainly visible fact that she •'Persec•utede Inquired De \'ere, Ian- meant to lead him by the nose as long guidly as she lived, in virtue of the money she Oh, yes, you. can afford to be cool.

The r..eution of it was exceedingly distasteful to him, and when Lieutenant De Vere once or twice represented to him that he "ought to go and see about Leo- nora West before the last day," he in- variably replied: 'My dear friend, it is one be a white slave for the sake of con- one of my rules never to do anything to- ing into twenty thousand a year?" It is worth lots of toadying," declared De Vere, emphatically. -"I used to like Aunt Lydia—rather—be- fore my uncle died," said Laneast•er, re' flectively. "She was always tart and waspish. I didn't care for it when I didn't have to bear the brunt of it. She rather amused me then. but now I get, out of I can get cues disagreeable things best patience with her whims and exactions."

So it was actually the day before they sailed 'when Lancaster hunted up the ad- dress and went to look after his charge, his "email commission," as Lady Lancas- ter bad blandly termed it.

She had an arch, pretty face, with beautiful blue -gray eyes that were almost black when the full white lids and dark lashes drooped over them. The dazzling fairnees of her 001u- plexion was heightened by tho unrelieved blackness of her dress, and her pontine lips by contrast looked like roeebude. Two long, thick braids of lovely chestnut brawn hair hung down her back, and some soft, fluffy rings of the same color waved over the low, broad forehead with its slender, dark brows. She was not only beautiful, he looked bright, and intelli- gent, and the half smile that paxted her red lips now made her wonderfully lively. But pretty as she was, she was aware that Captain Lancaster was regarding her with knit brows and a general air of entire disapprobation. Perhaps it was a novel experience. It seemed to amuse he,. The dimples deepened around the e'weet, arch mouth. She looked down at the card in her hand, and began to read it aloud in a soft, hesitating, inquiring voice: "Cap-tain Lan -caster?" "Yes," he replied, and was on the point of making hie most elegant bow when he suddenly remembered that it was not at r all necessary to -be so ceremonious wittl the nuree of hie housekeeper's niece. So he straightened himself up again and said, almost tartly: "You are the baby's nurse, I presume?" The long fringe of the glrl's lashes lift- ed a moment, and she flashed a dazzling glance into his face. "The—baby?" she inquired. "Yee—the little Mies West.—the child that is to.ro to England under my care. Aren't you her nurse?" The young lady had put a very small, white hand up to her face and coughed very bard for a moanent. She looked at him the next moment, very red in the face from the exertion. "I—ah, yee, certainly; I'm the nurse," she replied, demaurely. And then ensued a 'moment's silence, broken at last by the girl, who said, quiet- ly and politely: -Won't you be eeated, Captain Lancas- ter?" He dropped mechanically into a chair near him, but the pretty nurse -maid re- mained standing meekly in the centre c.f the room, her small hands folded before her, a. demure look on her fair face. The caller cleared his throat and be gall, rather nervously: "It isn't possible that you expected to go to England as that child's nurse?" he said. I had hoped to do so," answered the girl, with a rudder air of chagrin., "But—ah--really, you know. you're too young, aren't you?" stammered Lancas- ter, feeling abashed, as he knew not why, but maintaining a, grave judioial air. "Too young? I should hope not. I 'was eighteen last. week," meeting a small head with an air of great dignity. He could hardly rep'^ss a smile, but be Put litsto hidev tifromtthose bright, keen T eyes. And do you think you can really take good care of Mies West?" he said. —Re+ member, le is a long trip across the ocean.' She flashed me of her swift, bright glances. "Indeed?" she said. "But that does not matter at all, cit', I consider myself quite competent to take care of Miss West any- where." Does sbee mean to be impertinent?" he thbuglit; but a glance- ah the demure, downeaet face reassnt•ed him. It was only the high &elf•confdence of ignorant, inno- cent youth, "Yon must exense IDA; I don't know ilow they do mice things on this side of the water," he said, feeling mean within hien- self, yet not at all understanding 'why it 'wags so. "But, you see, it is all different in England. There ono chooses a woman of age an nurse.New, end experience e for a I remember my own nurse was at least fifty years old." "In -deed 1" replied the girl, dropping him a demure little courtesy that some- how again filed him with an uneasy pens( that, under all her pretty humility, she meant to he impertinent. Ills face felt hot and burning, He did not know how to pureue the convereatlon. Seeing that he made het' no answer, she looked up with a pretty, appealing air, "Do I understand that you object -to take inti me to I<ngland? that toy youth counts against me?" she inquired, "Oh, no, not not at, all, If you ere sure ,you can take good care of the btuby," he replied hastily.
