of the hearts of the village beaux.There was none other umoug them

who had arrived at the desperate con-- 1dition of Mr. Frank Gray. The deep- -est depths of the blue ocean weremere shoals compared to the depth ofhis love.

His annetite had become such ashadow of its former self that his jlandlady contemplated bis symptoms jwith mercenary iov. Thedimensionsof his wash-bi- ll were past all belief.He was utterly miserable!

He saw the "loadstone of hi3 exis- -tence" smile impartial! on all men.He called himseifa fool for being iulove with such a flirt, and no doubt a

Upon a bright spring day these two ;wprMBirtiiuron f orftPk'a hnnt Rrnntor river would have been more ro-mantic; but with that strict regardfor historical fact which should be atonce the ambition and pride of allchroniclers, we repeat it was a orpek.

Frank was fishing, while Nelliewas watching with expectant face thebobbing cork.

Our love of historical accuracy againcompels us to be unromantic. Nelliedid not fall in the water. Frank didnot jump in, and, seiziug her hair, af-ter a prolonged struggle bring her safeto shore, and, as a result they did notget married and live happy ever after-ward.

This is probably the only case onrecord where this has not happened.It is well known that young ladiesare in constant practice' of tumblingin the water, and that young gen- -

,'tlemen always save them. This ex-- ,ception only proves the rule. Therewould have been no earthly object in hNellie doing such a thing, as the wa-- jter was hardly deep enough to drowna kitten.

Nellie watched lhe bobbing cork,eagerly waiting for the expected bite

that is, Nellie was eagerly waiting,not the cork.

When it went under, and Frankpulled out a struggling, gasping little'fish, for all her eagerness an expressinn oi sympathy came into her face,

"Ugh!" she exclaimed. "You hor--jriri fellow! What cruel sport! Youmen are heartless monsters!"

Frank replied, meaningly, lookingvery hard at her:

"No more heartless than some wo-men I know."

Nellie's eyebrows arched, and her !lips pouted, as she answered : j

"What a horrid remark!""It is horribly true," rejoined he '

at the house. Of course Nellie wasthere ; and, as a consequence, Frank,too.

We forgot to mention and for suchan unpardonable ommisaion we apol-ogiz- e

that Nellie Brainard had quitesnug little fortune of her own. Per-

haps this had quite as much to dowith the number of her suitors an herbeauty.. :

On this particular evening, her ad-mirers wre so many and 60 attentive,and Nellie was sq delightfully pleas-ant to all, that Frank was in a con-tinual white heat of jealousy and rage.Had he been melo-dramat- ic in hischnrcter, nothing but an unlimited jquantity of gore would have satisfiedhim.

Major Bernard, a military gentle- -man from the city, very proud of hisname and the handle to it, was hisparticular aversion. It would havegiven Frank great pleasure to havewaded in the blood of the whole .Ber-nard family.

At eleven o'clock the Major andNellie left the dancers to stroll in themoonlieht. Oh, if Frank could onlyhae got at him ! The conspicuouslytender way in which tha Major puther shawl around her created a vol-oau- o

That was how it happened that formonths he never called to see her.
