A SMALL BOY.
VOh! I say nhe's 0111," waul small
Ned, as ho opened the door. "She's
gono to dressmakci's, hut she'll he
back soon, 'cause she's gone to lriz her
hair for dinner. Come in and wail.'
I accepted the invitation, and installed
myself in the easiest chair in the
parlor, after rolling it to the bay window,
bo us to corumati'd a v'u-w t the
street, while Ned "hinted* hitusell', as
he called it, on a mirhio l>>p table beni?io
me, and hat there with crispy
cheekness A>t early boyhood, whittling
ami Hvyinging his feet.
Ned was a chap of ten years,
with a remarkable memory?as I was
fated to discover?the youngest broth*
er ol Miss \ ictoria Conrad; and Miss
Victoria Conrad was a handsome,
dashing, clover girl with w hom I had
iibinediaU ly fallen desperately in love.
I use the word 'desperately' ad vis.
edly, for it w as my first really notions
entanglement, and my charmer, being
a thorough mistress ol the arts by
which young ami susceptible tr.alc
hearts arc subjugated, had inthrailed
n?e most completely.
True, beloro I east myself at her
feet, 1 had felt n great tenderness for
a sweet little third or fourth cousin
of mine, a slight pale young girl, with
hair of the faintest gold and eyes ol
the softest him", and an innocent, trusting,
childlike look in her pretty
face,
l?ut beside Miss Conrad, with her
magnificent iorm, glorious auburn
troaftes, and wonderful big black eyes,
May Nee/ton fad* A into insignificance.
It was as though one placed a delicate,
Cream ^olorcid lily in,the sauio vase
with a gorgeous, dame-dashed with
crimson-leaved, brown throated gladi
And ro I found, on becoming acquainted*
with Miss Conrad, ibr.L my
feeling for May, which had existed
since our earliest childhood, was only
a tenderness, while my feeling lor
Victoria, although but tlnce months
old, already amounted to a passion.
Uut, in spite ot my infatuation for
the latter, I was not blind to the fact
that she was a finished coquette, and I
didn't half like tho way, alter the very
decided encouragement she had given
qie, she flirted with my intimate friend
Charley Thornton. Sometimes, indeed,
it flashed upon ?po that there
had been a lovo affair between tlium
which had not entirely ended even
now, and it was after one of these
flashes 1 had sought her house, determined
to discover what her real feci,
ings toward mo were, and ae&olyed
that when I loft her it should bo oithor
as an accepted or rejected Ruitor,
To speak frankly, 1 had every rea
son to believe, in Hpile of the flashes,
it would bo an accepted one. For a?
much aa Thornton wa? diatinguiahed
by Miafi Conrad above her other admirers,
juat ho much had I been of late
distinguished above Thornton. And
wc two wore equal in ago, looks, family,
education, and (our lady-love
thought) lortune. I Hay our ladylove
thought, lor the truth was, compared
to me, Charley wan poor. li<?w
rich I win 1 had taken care nhonld not

I had giowii tired ??1 single

and was bunting lot* a wile, with a

own. Ami liko Lord Burleigh and
other romantic, poetical lollows, I
wanted to be loved lor myself alone
Only Charley Thornton knew of
my recently inherited wealth, and him
I had hound hy all that is sacred in
friendship not to disclose it.
"So in singling me out lor favor,*' I
argued, "Victoria leads me to suppose
she loves me. Ami il she consuls to
become my wife, that supposition will
turn into a happy certainty, for she
certainly, with her beauty and talents,
might make a much finer match than
the one I otVer her. And what delight
it will he when the words are -said
that seal my happiness and make her
all ray own, to see her resplendent
eyes grow larger and brighter as sh^
learns ihat in accepting a lew thousands,
she has become tho mistress ol
half a million!'
But to go back to the small boy,
swinging his leet and evidently amicus
to enter into conversation.
"I say,' he burst out at lust, "do
you like to look at photographs'!
Charley Thornton does. He and \ u
locked at this hook"?taking one from
the table on which ho sat?"for moro'n
an hour the other .day. I like him. lit

page, but he coaxed Vie to put u
somewhere else.'
"WliyV I asked, ceasing lo watcli

mining toward the small boy with an
awakened curiosity.
"Cause,' said Ned, evidently trying
to repeat the very word*.?44 'cause lit
couldn't bear even bis picture to have
always before it the luce ol his rival,
his successful?yes, that's it?his successful
rival."
My heart gave ^ boimd. She did
love me, then, l'oetft Charley 1
44And what reply did your sister
make to that?' I asked.
,4()h! she Said 'nonsense;' hnt she
took the picture out?Charley's, you
know?and he kissed her hand, and
she carried it np to her room, and it's

Friend.' lie's a no or Imreliwonrl h..ir
[ lying asleep in llio road, and his
oi? 1 y iriend's a dog?one oi them big
lollowa, you know'?
"Yes, yon,' I interrupted, rather im
patiently; "I know all about it.'
Ned, evidently somewhat ollendod,
was silent for about three minutes,
and then began again: "Oh, my,
didn't they talk that day ! Vie sent
word to overy-body elhe that came
that she w*h out. Wasn't that a
whopper? 1 was snuggled upon the
sofa over in that dark corner there,
and they didn't see me, and 1 heard
every word they said. Wouldn't
Vic have boxed iny cars tl shod
caught mel"
"I wonder what they talked of," 1
said to myself, with a jealous qualm ?
to tell the truth, I'd been a little
staggered by the picture episode; and
thou, though it wasu't exactly the
right thing to do, although certainly
excusable in a case like this, where a
man's whole happiness wan aL stake, 1
made up ray mind to find out.
"Ned," said I, "I saw a splendid
knife the other day?six blades."
"Six blades!" repeated Ned, his
eyes sparkling.
"Yes, or live bladoa and a file, 1
don't remember which. It was a
beauty, though, and it I wasn't afraid
you'd cut yourgelt with it, I'd buy it
and give it to you."
"Cut myself I" said the small boji
With infinite scorn, "I aint a baby."
"Well," said I, "the knife shall be
yours.' And then I continued in a
no/iuJialant manner: "What was it
V/111 uoiil vnui* ^tdf ov oiul \f TUiifnt/vrk
were talking about?'
"I didn't say nothing,' ?aid Ned.
"VVhen'U you bring the knife?'
"You Khali bavo it to-morrow,' I
replied. "Did they say anything
about in?, for instance ?'
"Oh, lots !' said Ned, starting ofl
rapidly. "Charley said: 'Oh, Vie,

Good heavens !' and ho grabbed bold

suited iho action to the word, and

such an assumption ol desperation as
brought the tears into his eyes.

" 'A heart on the rebound,' I think

calmness.
"Well, perhaps I do,' assents the
small hoy, whistling a couple ut burs
ol "Yankee Doodle,' thoughtfully.
"Anyhow," eliding with a false note
that makes me shudder, "Vio stuck to

Charley smashed his hat on his head
and walked out of the room like this,'
and slipping from the table, the small
hoy seized my hat from my hand,
literally "smashed' it upon Ins curly
head, and strode out into the hall in
such a melodramatic manner that I
stalled in spile of nnself.
When he returned I left the easy

when I sat down in it?took possession
of my hat, restored it as nearly as
possible to its original shape, and slid;

"Impossible to tell.'
