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

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.

her book, and how utterly oblivious of

'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."

'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

and enlists your sympathies, jfol with

'1 agree,' she said archly, 'and hero is

'Would your heart come with it?' I
said, and, sho laughed merrily.
'Bravo! a.gu\,d beginning ! I sec you

launched ou Yhe sea of flirtation.
I told Fred of our .arrangement tl>?
following day. I thought ho looked
pleased. ' '
'All right", old fellow,' he said,-shak
ing my' 'hand heartily.- 'lam .glad to

'Quite sure,' I answered. 'Co on, u?y

'Uh, no ! shouldn't think of it laj^cr
a year. My business won't permit, and
I suppose she will b?-as?w?Ming to wait.;-'
and Fred looked?tis.?iavo wild thought

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?' I asked, but she shook her bend
gayly.
'Fred is not frivolous enough.J
'Thanks for the complim jnter,44?u#u
cd. 'And 3ow may tluf Fd^e|J^rT?ido/
for you until you return to town.'
So I,loft her with &tafof Buiu^ rmy^
heart than I had boforet a pain tha^,
grew deeper and deeper every step I took
till at tho foot of the hill !# 'bttufcie un
endurable, nnd I turrfcd:nb%,rt andiWalk*
cd deOnatly baok to the arbor. Captuiu
Kate's faco was in her han^s/aW teaVs*
were falling upon her dress. "
'Kato,' 1 said, softly, 'what \4 tlio mat
ter?' ?
'I hurt my finger with a thorn and it
made nie cry.'
Let tnc extract tU; thorp, I said, put-,
ting my arms around her waist. 'And
I came dack to tell you that T was tired
of 'make believe' lovo and want to play
love in earnest; will you!' ',
'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. "Jut.it, J T, m
