I felt my heart jump to y mouth, as the saying is, at th p so a. But I reoovered my self-possessien directly, and at once commenced to I drag Ned away, who was lying where he had fal- len, growling and rubbing his shins. I pulled him into the doorway of an out, .itknise, which was dark as pitch, and vie were only just in time, ' too, for a window above was violently thrown up, and a hoarse gruff voice demanded, "Who's there ?" After repeating this demand two or three times, the voice eiclaimed fiercely, "If you don't ans- wer I shall fire !" -and straightway we heard the click of a ha,mmer, and, a second later, a bright flash of fire streamed down from the window, while thewoods echoed to the report of a pistol. i I “By Jove," whispered I, "it's lucky I lugged you away so soon, dr else 3 ou'd have stood a good chance of having a bullet in your carcass by this time ; the old fellow fired slap down where the noise came from." i 1 %Ve lay perfectly still for a few min - 4 1 , 1 utes but then hearing sounds of per- - II sons moving about inside, we consider- .' ed it advisable to make off, as it seem- ed probable that the old gentleman had roused the house. ] So we glided !,-off among the trees, and when we had .'got fairly away from the groundslwe bolted like fawns along the rood, until we ar- rived at our roadside -elan. In another moment we were seated in oer trap,and were off homeward at a; pace" that de- fied pursuit. As soon as we had both recovered our breath and collected our disturbed senses, I began to speak. - "Well, Ned, you're a nice fellow to go about on secret excursions aa'night ; if you always kick up such an infernal row as that when you're engaged in such enterprises, it's my opinion that you won't be long before you; come to grief." 1 "Hang it," said Ned, "I di n't know wake there, or else I shoul n't have 1 thoe confounded flower pots nd steps tumbled over them, and barked my shins, and bruised my arms and ribs, as I have done. "Who made that first row ?" I asked. • • "0, that was Carry 1" elluraph, her-• name is Geary, is it?" theught I.) . '''''..tShe hitched. her dress, by sonaemeans • or other, in a large.' tray, which came tumbling down, frightening as out of our• wits ; and tken, you know' she had to shut the window down, and cut away like steam." "Yon saw your charming 'Stationer,' then, I inquired. "My dear fellow, yes, and she's the jolliest girl I ever metin my life." “ Well, how are you going to manage about seeing her again ?" "0, we've arranged all about that ! The day after to -morrow is the village feast, and her governor goes to London the evening before, if he's well enough, and all the servants and ' people about will be at the feast, so we shall be nice and quiet." “ Yes, but suppose the governor isn't well -enough to go to London, how then ?" "0, she's to write and let me know in • the morning 2" • "Well, I'm stare, you two have set- tled matters very coolly end comfort- ably between. yourselves." . With this closing observation of mine the conversation teeminated. . Such was our adventure, the success of_ • which, in my estimation, Was •dubious, but Ned was of opinion that nothing could have been more completely suc- cessful and delightful than its results. 1 I • The "day after to-morrow".canae,and with it came a letter far Ned from Car- _ ry, informing him that her father had gone off to London on tihe evening pre- vious, and would probably stay there a fortnight or more. This was welcome news for Ned, who, I ' am convinced, thought of nothing bat the prospective meeting all day, though I kept him hard at work at cricket for some two or three hours on "the Piece." At last we started, sad in half an hour pulled up at our half -way house, which was the headquarters of the vil- lage feast. We found several “ 'Varsity men" there already, and the usual aenount of loutish country yokels es- corting their sweethearts with a degree • of ease and graze whick one might ex- pect a rhinoceros to display in beauing about a young antelope. There was also a large dancing booth, in which the same personages footed it "oli the light fantastic toe" with as much ele- gance as a newly imported and totally uneducated Polar bear would exhibit in his first trial on hot bricks. However, these simple folks seemed to be enjoy- ing themselves to the full, in their rough homely manner. 'And even we, proud aristocrats, did not disdain to take a partner in a country jig on the green outside the booth, as we found that place close and stifling to a de- gree which our pampered natures were unable to- endure.And many were 'the scowls and ill-favored glances which we received from indignant and. jealous John, as he save his Nary tripping it about with a young college gent. Then we amused ourselves by sitting with the elderly parties, old farmers quietly smoking their pipes, and by making them drink beer to an extent which they had never experienced be- fore ;- then, as they grew jollier and jollier, we struck up songs with rollick- ing choruses, to which the •company did ample justice. • We " 'Varsity men" agreed among ourselves all to leave at once in ease there should be any ill -feeling toward us displayed by the already half -tipsy yokels. Having made this prudent agreement, I, by and by, received a sig- • . nal from Ned ; whereupon I joined • him, ,and we both -left the inn and strolled up the village toward. the house which had. the distieguished honor of holding that priceless treasure yciept Carry, or, more familiarly, the "Stationer." We discovered that young lady walk- ing among the shrubberies, and after Ned had formally introduced me to her, the young couple wandered off to- gether, leaving me to recline andSmoke my pipe at my leisure. I had been lying there some time, when, finding that the grass had be- come unpleasantly &zap, I rose to my feet, and began to take a short prom- enade, in which exercise I was present- ly interrupted by no leas a person than the gardener, as t soon learned. He I 1 came up to me, and said, somewhat I gruffly, "Whet be you a-doin' 'ere at this v toime o' noight, young man t" "Who may yolk be, My friend? . asked L "Who be I ? I bo the gar ener ; an it be moy bissiness to turn a straggler off these 'ere grounds" - "Indeed," said I 1 cooll , 1 anin • against a tree as I sp ke ; ".'utanppos a straggler doesn't bhose go awe for you, eh?" "I'll foind sum as n M goo." "Nonsense, my goad folks ," said carelessly, "you knoTw bet er. ere' half a crown for you; you c n go way and if I find that you've held, lyo' tongue, I'll give yea alf sovereig when I see you again." i "Thaukee, sur; 're a g ntle an; and touching his ha, and ti ping me knowing wink as he did so, he g rden er went away. i Before long, -but t. bef heartily tired of vt ing, made his appearan , evid high state of hap n ss ; a 1 traced our steps to the fe: the way along laun lung on most rapturous des tions eral beauty and pert ions o found inamorata.
