(Regular Boarders roccivod at Reasonabto atee. a (;kam) flirtation. I il have just told Frod Gorman, my chum and companion, that I had deter mined to have town that afternoon. ?I am g< ing down to the Into shore, where it's nicb, and oool and quiet' and where I needn't work, or even think, but do jnst as I please' Fred looked blank. 'Don't go this afternoon),' he said, 'I wanted you to go with me to Madame Ws to night, and be presented to Captain Kate, the new bell.* ?Thank you,' I responded, 'but no more girls of the period, for me. if you please?I had rather be excused.' 'Oh. but you must see 'Captain Kate'.' he went oil, 'that's what they call her because of tho followers she has. She's worth seeing.' 'I kiiuw the stylo,'I said with a ma jestic: wave of the hand. 'Hold eyes ? blue, perhaps, black, probably?rather tall, immense chignou laughs and crack s jokes like a trooper, anb never says one word id'sense. I repeat it, my friend, not any for mc!' 'Hut jii5t wait?'began Fred, and 1 interrupted, with another wave of the hand. 'My friend, I shall leave tow n this" afternoon' lor the lake; should like your company, but if you choose to stay, 1 go alone. 1 want nothing of this Kate or any other woman.' ?Pon my soul'.' cried Fred widening his blue eyes. 'What his come over you, the king of male'flirts? Been bitten ehr '?No, simply dis^?Kted,' T answered, loftily, 'Pin tired of work rtid women, and am going to leave both. Will you go?' 'Not till next week; then I'll fol low.' 'All tight,' I said and we parted. 'Kings of flirts,''Frad had called me. and that term nee Is some explanation, for I sh'iuld regret haviug nny of my friends think uie. thct most detestable affair, a man butterfly. I WHS thirty, not bad looking, and u well-to-do young lawyer, possessed o( a nice litt'j property. 1 had a due appre cation of women?liked most of them extremely well, loved none; paid them some harmless compliments, chatted walked and drove with them. But as for flirting?why, t spoke no word of love gavo no fair lady any reason lor thinking I was in love and still Mrs. (iitjudy gave me the appellation of (Malc Flirt.' Well never mind: 1 didn't. I went down to the lake shore that afternoon and erigagod rooms at a private dwelling. 'We have three boarders, now,' tho pleasant little lady said, 'and expect one more to morrow afternoon?a young rela tive from the city? and there aro jus*, rooms for one nioro, Those I engaged and domiciled my riclf Immediately in my quarters, hut not at all pleased with the prospective young lady. There wcro two alroady. but harmless individusls, I mentally ofl scrved at the table; one a studious dam sel who wore spectacles, and lookal at the ceiling; the other an invalid, and wife of" tlie male bonder. But this 'com, ing girl'?who was she, and what did she want to disturb my coveted poaco mid country quiet for3 No doubt sho would be a dashing, slashing, panier-a..d*sash style of girl, who would daro roe into making love to her, and ?ivo mo no poauo until I did. Flirtations might bo all very well but a fellow didn't want to ^e dragged into it, when he was in search of poaco and quiet. This was my mental style of soliloquy till th?? coming girl came. I watched her from my window as tho hack set her down. Small, dressed iu gray and veileJ. That was all I saw, save two moderate sized trunks. All, until two hours la ter I saw her at tho table, and took a a private inventory. Bather below the medium height and slender in figure; fair with a faint color in the checks; hair dusky brown, curling or rather wavy not quite to the shoulder, und tied with a bluo ribbon from the smooth brow, oyos, n quiet brown, and clear ns a summer lake. That was all, I think, that I no ticed. No; the mouth was very swe t, and pretty and' totally devoid ofthat society smirk and haughty curl which arc so decidedly rcpulsivo iu women. I retnembor thinking of that, an 1 then quito forgetting Miss Whiting until tho following day. 'A very quiet, sensiblo-appearing and rathor protty youog lady,' I bad said to myself, 'und not one likely to molest me in nny vyny.' I -ft rolled out to n little arbor the next forenoon, with n book in my baud,, and fo?ud Miss Whiting, with a booU in hi r htkud, seated in said arbor.' 'I beg pardon,' I began; 1 did not know the place was QCQupiod.' 'Make ? believu that it isn't,' she said, 'and entM! in. There is ample room, and I am so much interested in my book, that. I shall not even see you.' Feeling decidedly complimented at the closing sentence, I sealed myself on tho opposite bench and opened my book But I did Jnot progress rapidly. Miss Whiting whs so interesting in repose, made such a pretty, good looking picture, sitting there, that I could not but watch her. [low interested she seemed to be in" her book, and how utterly oblivious of my presence I Wns 1 such a nonentity then '( 1 began to feel very uncomfor table. 11 she would only glance at tue ! but she wouldn't. Onco she picked some crawling thing from bet dress and tossed it Out at the door, but never ginncod at me. 'Miss Wliiiing,' I sai l at length, 'pardon mo, but I am tired of making bel:ove. 1 had rather think tue arbor occupied.' , k 'Miss Whiting kept on reading, and answered quietly : 'Very-well, consider me here.' 'Not to be worsted this way,' Tsaid. boldly. 'Well, but T want you to talk to me.' She dosed her book, keeping one slender hand between the pages, and lifted her childishly calm eyes to my faeo. . j ? 'It is a very pleas nit day, Mr. Ticsicr,' she said, with perfect gravity. ' I teci-h dly,' I responded. 'Much cooler since tho shower." observed, 'It is,' I nsstvit'cd 'J.oo'vi no mo like rain in ?ie-er.?t,' she rcmul kcd. 'It does/ I sild, trad then we both laughed. i ?Now,' she said, '1 hopn.you will let me go on \\i;h my book. It 's Dickens' 'Great Expectations,' -and if you have ever read it, yon can uodetstand nr interest.' * s 'Do yoti like Dickens?" I asked. 'No,' r}jc said, 'I Jove him. ' From the opening page to the / 'Finis,' his books are gardens of nViight to inc. lie Iiit i rests ! you iu his meanest character, and enlists your sympathies, jfol with one, but with all. He is inimitable?he is incomparable. JOthcrsimny,in their1 style, be ns interesting, but to me there is none like him.' A deeper Hush had coiim into ho.r cheeks,i and; dicr joj^os fgrc\v?wi?^o? and darker. i" .8 ., L H(l 'Deoidodly prot'y now, I informed myself, 'and really quite an intelligent litt Iu persou. 'After that, Miss W hi ting and T wferc quite, sociable. I sought her society, and fche did not avoid me, but treated mc precisely as sho w >uld a younger brother. Not ju-t that either, for" s-he was a .little more reserved; and yet wo had some vny pleasant chats together. She could talk sei se, and I pridVu my self on my ahilii.es in that line, and so almost a week slipped by bcfi r.- I knew it. 'I th/ink 1 should Gud it very dull here but for y< u," I said to her oue day. 'Odd, - too, when 1 dreaded your coming so.' She looked up woudjringly. 'Dread ed my coming V 'Vcsj I feared you would be one of tho slashing kind, and would dress to kiij, a he* talk me wild, and give me no pcice.' ? What gave you that idea ?' 'I don't ku.uw, unless it Was beitrg bored to death by my ehnm, Fred (l"r m;ju, ivb.iut a 'Captain Iv ite.' tho belle of) the season, and I thought you might bej lior style.' ''And did you ever sec this Captain Kuto V asked Miss Whiting, lifting her odl'.n lakes o?' eyes to mino. 'No; hut I can imagine her,' I hnswerod. 'And what do you imagine her like?' Thereupon I "nve her description vory much ?3 "I hu'i gSvon F*rcd, mid closed by s^ ing : . 'ifdw*, that stylo of girl I fen not tolerate, a?d fearing you were otio of them, no wonder I dreaded you.'

'Bdt, Fred,' I s:iid,'ncipWsly, 'she'Is I so innocent nnd CP [and barely pretty, and so sweet nrrfquict.'

Seeing mo perfectly serious he continued 'And, Bon, couldn't you ?peak d fcoyd ?? - - i Sts ..y . " ?,. ?-:? word for1 my prospects? Speak about that uncle ,pf mitie, that went to India about twcqty fyenis ago, and has never been heard "f "fince. 'You needn't put that in though ; just nay he weut there, and I am fhe only heir.' *I assured Fred that I would do so. Justras well as not,' I said, 'will bring your perfections all to light, and say nothing of your failings.' Fred thauked tue warmly, and wo parted. Captain Kate was in tho garden when t refhrrrefl. She .was dressed in a blue, thin gauze stuff, and 'frill of lace at her throat ami wrists. She looked exceed ingly pretty, ntid I told her so. 'Good !' she cried, bringing her shape ly hands together. 'I dressed purposc ly'to rtiako you pay compliments and have succeeded. Am I really truly pretty ?' 'Really aud truly,' I echoed. 'And my Vycs arc uot bold, and I do not seem like a trooper ?' 'Your eyes aro the sweetest in the World and you seem like an angel.'j She brent hud a long breath. ? U iw nice ! Now where havo you .becu ?'? 'To sec Fred?the finest fellow alive. Got a rich uncle iu India, somewhere and is heir.' 1 'Does "that constitute his fineness ?' she said a little scornfully.' 'According to *a woman's idea, yes. I>ut ? tlnit is not all. He's a splendid fellow, good, intelligent, steady.' 'Rather a pleasant tellow,' she ac knowledged, "and he waltzes like an an gel." ' ? ?.'Are angels proficient in that uccom plishrucnt ?' I laughed. LWell, I -oppose,' she retorted. T'You call nie an angel, and I waltz beautiful 7- ' . I should cever have recognized Miss WHitlftg for the girl I had known before. She dropped her quiet, calm, child like self, aud assumed tho gay, dazzling mask of Captain Kate. Sue Pressed bououfingly and olcgdntly, yet with uo show of glare of colors, cisj it would not hive b :en becoming. Sn e studied my taste in all things, and fairly daxrdcd 010 with her wit and beauty. Vet I think I missed Miss Whiting sorely, for a lev days after her depar ture and Kate's advent. We walked, we sat, wo i drove, we talked together^ Fred occupied the spare moments, an<l, fuw as they were, he seMiicd very hope ful ; for Fred was always hopeful about all things though ho never succeeded in anything. lie had paid his undivided attention to three young ladies, at different times, and b<en certain of .success and each lime failed. lie was qot cast down, however; but was now looking confidently forward to his union wnR* Captain K,ite. "'"Sou llttVU uuipcu luv a great uoat, iDi'u,' he would say, 'and I thank you h^r^ily fttr your kind words' When l um settled, consider my home yours.' 'Certainly,' I would respoud * 1 "will, Fred.' ?'?Kb- three weeks slipped by, and in twd uiore I should depart. Our flirta lion continued unabated. Kate was bewildered, and 1 BOUltilllOS ??emtded J[or my owu safety. Once, when stand lug very near to her, my lips somehow came iu contact with hets, and 1 nevoi felt (juile safe since tli;;t day. 'Kissing produccth love,' I said, "and I will avoid ihat Hcrewfler.' So 1 did, and we sailed, aud rode, and flirted dcltcioushj through the remaining two weeks, ami one morning I arose with the uncomfortable feeling upon me that it had all COU10 to an end, and I was to leave on tho forenoon train. 1 also aroso with another knowledge?that I was >ery much iu love with Captain Kate; yes, decidedly, irrevocably iu love. 1 had an odd feeling, too, that it was just what Captain Kate intended ; aud I determined to keep my secret locked in my breast. So I complimented her, iu the old mock way,.through tho morning and was conscious that under al| her jjny.etv there was u lurking disappointment. And then I^nervcd myself for it, went to the arbor to say the last farewell. ?With my most heartfelt thanks for 'the pleasant flirtations you have kindly indulged mc in, r.ud hoping you all hap piness iu the future, I will say good bye,' 'And who will I dress for now, and who will pay mo pretty compliments uud i admirb me?, ?Fred will servo as a Substitut, won't ho?'

', 'Why,?1 suppose 1 epuldi?only.-' Only what, Kate.'" . 'Why, about the grand flirtation! 'We will end it in a grand wedding I' said. 'I guess that would bo a good idea,'; Kate answered from my *hou[der. I said good bye again, aud wont to sec Fred. By the way,' he said, 'now you are goiug, I thiuk I shall propose to Kate and settle mattere.' '1 wouldn't" said I, 'for she la going, to marry me!' . Jt was rather abrupt, but Fjrp^ got over it, and his. uncle really came front India and give him a bandsome fh-tune' and he married my pretty sister arid \a very happy.
