What a little more systematic tailoring and a 'more complete ease of man- ner would have done it is hard to say, but he was tall and well made, and had a fine fair countenance, svith gentle eyes and a de- termined chin.

" Rita," he. said, joining her, "seems there isn't accomirdidation at the tavern for the con -cert folks, and so one or two of us hev been discussing sorter askin"em around." Rita's pink color came swiftly. "What a good idea, Jered-! You al - war think of the kind things," the girl said, cheerfully. "I'm sure it '11 be all right. Aunt would like to have one of them."

I guess I'll get you to take a note at once to one of them, or perhaps they might go away." In half an hour Rita had persuaded her aunt into writing an invitation to Signer Brignoli. We might as well say," said Rita, "-that we'll take him home in the carry- all." And to this also the good-humored Mrs. Tall was brought to consent.

"'I'm not surprised you say that, Miss Tall," he said, clambering down, "as though any one would wish to climb this bank.

The tenor, once alone in the large cheer - lees apartment, cleaned and aired and dust- ed forbirn, sat down, thrust his hands in hie pockets, and gave up an hour to reflec- tions which were by no means compliment- ary to himself.

He stood half an instant in the doorway before she saw him, and then her little start and blush Pleased him greatly. He asked if he might come in, and she said certainly, making sure that he chose the most comfortable rocking -chair. It was a hopelessly ugly little parlor. The young man first declared to himself that he could not reconcile Rita to the carpet of large staring greens and reds ; next, that he .was disappointed in her if she could allow such antimacassars and chromes' finally, the centre table, -with its array ofbooks, was so overwhelming that he gave it up and re- turned to the girl herself, who in a pretty calico dress- looked the impersonation of youth and health. He felt so sure that she was very young that he said at last : "Do you go to school here, Mime Tall ?" Rita leaned over a high-backed chair opposite him, and nodded and smiled. ' Yes ; near here I teach school." • "You 1" the young man laughed. . "You think I look as if I didn't know enough ?" said the girl, merrily. "Oh no ; you looktoo young." "1 am seventeen," she answered, "and I might have begun last year, only Jered didn't wish I should." The visitor was greatly diverted. "And who is Jered ?"he inceitioed, with the eonsciousness that no question in By - rams could be considered intrusive. " Jared ? Why, he's he's a sort of school director ; and he's always been very good to me, and thoughtful, and he said 'twould be too much for .a girl of sixteen. Yon see, they're mostly boys." When the curtain arose it presented the piano in the most mortifYing light, its poor body radely held up on tresles hastily pre- cured from the undertaker. But Rubinstein was presently crashing away upon it pop- ular airs, to which the audience speedily beat a response. Then appeared Carl Formes, who, in place of Brignoli, did a wonderful clog, and sang some excellent negro melodies, to which Rubinstein, who was a slim, tall young fel- low of about • twenty, played a genuine plantation accompaniment. The audience were enraptured, but all afterward declared that Signor Brignoli bore off the palm. If that careless person could be said to blush,he did so as he met the sweet gaze of the deacon's niece, and saw admiring trust- fulness and purity in her glance. But I thinkperhape it. helped him in the way he sang such ballads as "A warrior bold," "Phyllis is my only loved" and " Bid me to live." Certainly Signor Brignoli's friends had never before heard their favorite tenor do so well. He had not a bit the air of a foreigner, some one whispered to some one else, and how Well he spoke the language ! To Rita, sitting with her hands clasped with almost painful intensity, her eyes now dilated, now glistening with unshed, tears, it seemed as if a Whole world had opened before her -a strange, tremulous, uncertain world ' that set her pulses throbbing, her little young hears beating, filling her with a curiouncon- sciousness of herself, just as though the the great singer was singiug only to her. And truth to tell, he was ; angry as he felt with himself for doing it, he was singing just to that one liatener. The music was over, the last encore given and responded to, and Byram$, fairly ex- haueted by excitement and jo-e poured out into the, summer night. The moon and the stars were having a gala time Id it; for OU213 the dull, dreary country was trans- forrnedi When Signor Brignoli came out, inquiring' for Deacon Tall's carry -all, he wondered if it was the intoxication • of his own senses or a reality which made that ug y country look so beautiful.

But he tried later to say it was because he knew be never should behold her again, and why destroy this one bright hour? "Are you sure," he said, with a sort of humble or remoreeful tone in his voice - "are you sure it was unlike yourself? Now of course I don't know anything about your life or your history, but it seems to me that living in a place like this one might readily get to fancying the imaginative side of, hu- man nature notito exist. She listened. • "Do you see ?" he went on, felling much more at his ease -perhaps he thought he thought he was helping a young mind.

And she looked up reverently 'at the tall, young fellow, the bronzed hand- some face above hers. A look I came into Macbane's eyes which the girl could not understand. He stood still a moment. "Miss• Tall," he inquired, quietly, "what made you think of that ?' - She seemed troubled. "1 don't know," she ansivered. Only -if I could sing as you do, it seems to rne I should not need nature and other things so much." He looked at her very encouragingly. " Do_you know, only a person with a really artistic nature could have said that. Now I shall be of you to tell me something about yourself." The girl was genuinely perplexed. "This is the beginning of the road to the woods," she said, in a moment, indicating a path across the fields to their left. She seemed very much constrained: "There isn't any- -thing to tell," she said finally. Mac:bane-did not Press it. " When I was a youngster," he began, " at my father's place in New Hampshire we boys used to be ever so fond of running across fields, rather-" He stopped short, conscious that she was gazing at him in some surprise. Why, aren't you Italian by birth ?" she asked. I knew'of courseeyou must have lived here a long time." Macbane fairly ground his teethe In a moment he said, quietly : "No. Its odd, isn't it? I wasn't born in Italy. But," he added, thanking the generous and foresee- ing fate Which had sent him early abroad, "I lived in Italy some time, and my mother, you know, was an American." A charming smile spread itself like sun- light over the girl's face. "Oh, now I see I" She exhiaimed, joyfully. " Do you knew, I was so puzzled ! They walked along in silence, or only with fragments of talk, until they reached the woods. They were dignified by such a name, but in reality it was only a meagre grove diversified by hollows, and with the great treasure of a running stream. - (To be Continued.) NEWS FROM ST.

" f wish I could see your school," he has- tened to say. " Oh, its vacation now," she answered. "But if you were going to stay, I could show you the school house. Its in the only pretty part of the neighborhood." Was it tine suggestion. The young Man scarcely knew, but when in honest !Lindh; nese the Tails asked him to stay, and said, calmly, "Rita could take you for a nice walk," it seemed to him the only thing to do. As he made his way down to the hall, where the troupe had agreed to meet, he wondered if he was not parting with the very last remnant of self respect; but the idea of the long idle summer's slay with Rita came over him, crushing out all other fancies. By the time he reached the hall he had begun to laugh at his own folly. "Enter thou, 0 signore," said the jolly voice of Bret. "1 think we may congratu- late ourselves. I have made local sketches enough to pay me for the bother. Look at this d' and the indomitable youth opened a sketchbook, wherein it must be confessed were some admirable caricatures. " You ought to be ashamed of yourself," said the signore, trying not to smile. "These are good, honest people, who have treated us uncommonly well -a deal better than we deserve, the Lord knows." , "1 don't know," said Bret; "we treat- ed them to the bestethey'll hear for many a day.

"Well, boys," said the tenor, " come to say I'm going to stay here for a day. I want to get a little -local color." There was an outcry at this,finally silenc- ed by his agreeing to meet them the next day at a station twenty miles below. _ "You can leave the yacht there, can't you ?" he asked. " What better captain Shan Cherry do you want? Don't drink all the champagne, nor yet concoct too glorious a cup ; but I'll be with you aeon." And ecein spite of protestations he de-. parted, breathing freely as he walked over the sunlit country to the deacon's house. He saw Rita in the window, and leaning 'in over the ledge, he reminded her about the school -house. "Well," she said, " do you want to go right straight ?" He paused. Straight ? Oh, you Mean at once. Why, yes ; its a long walk, isn't it ? Let me see -its eleven o'clock now." Mrs. Tall's figure appeared behind the girl's. " W by, you'd best :ttake a little lunch with you, I guess," she said, kindly. The young man felt the blood tingling in his cheeks. Those people were sohospi- table' so entirely confiding Yet how couldhe now draw back ? " Very well," he assented. He sat down on the little porch while Rita went away for her hat and gloves. The house fronted possibly the most un- interesting country road he had ever seen. It made no pretence however, of being any- thing else, indulged In no sentimental vagar- ies with the light and shade, but stretched along bare and dusty, and sullenly dipped down in a vindictive sort of way where the bridge came, and affording few bits of green for the dandelions or meadowsweet to flour- ish in. Some negfeeted willows grew by the stream, hanging their heads dejectedly; opposite the house,beyond this brazen road- way, a piece of ground rose abruptly in a tangled sort of hill -side. It eccurred to the young man in a fit of exasperation that he would ascend this uninviting eminence and see what lay beyond or below it. It was a feat hard to accomplish without some verbal relief to the feelings ; but it was done at last, and be stood on an uneven, lumpy piece of ground, and gazed about him. Below, the ground sloped, or rather wor- ried its way, to a pasture -field, and near there, in the heat and dust, and accompan- ied by the moat irritating sounds, was the quarry. No sunset that ever came into the heavens could beautify this spot. Daybreak would be ghastly upon it. Then he remem- bered the moonlight.Yes, that placid orb might do something decorative. . He was still standing meditating upon the arid waste which was offered to Rita's . Soul as daily inspiration, when he heard her voice. " Why, Signor Brignoli 1 why, I want to an an E.J.Musson, Jr. sings the Praises of Dodd's .Kidney Pills -He was Bed -ridden for Months and His Strength was Sap- ped by Diabetes -He found his mire in six boxes of Dodd's Kidney Pills. . ST. CATHABINEs,November lat.-For sev- eral months E. J. Musson, Jr., one of the most capable painters in the city, was con- fined t6 his bed, a sufferer from that painful disease -diabetes. The complaint sapped his strength, fed upon his muscles, and re- duced him to a skeleton almost. Then, providentially, he heard of what Dodd's Kidney Pills have done in similar 'oases. He bought six boxes. This ie what he says of their work : "After using the third box; could lift light weights. I used the other three boxes, and now I am well. I have tried many other medicines, and consulted many doctors. All gave me poor encour- agement. But llodd's Kidney Pills cured me." • The Dog in Front. A friend of mine who owns a dog thought he would try him at coursing, so he took the dog out to the country, and pointed his nose at a rabbit. Away went the rabbit, then the dog, and then my friend. The chase had been in progress some twenty minutes,when my friend, who was almost done -up, saw an old farmer sitting on a gate. 1 "Have you seen a dog and e. rabbit go by here ?, he asked. "1 did that, aboot a quarter o' an 'oor ago," replied the farmer. "Was it a good race ?" " Weel, master., I believe it will be." "How were they getting on ?" " Weel, the dog was a yard in front?'
