A (?RAND FLIRTATION.
Ii I hove just told Fred Gorman, my
chum and companion, that I had deter
mine d to have town that afternoon.
I mn l'i ing down to tho lake shore,
where it's nice, anil cool and quiet' and
where 1 needn't work, or eventhink,
hut do just as 1 please.'
Fred looked blank. 'Don't go this
aftornoom,' he said, 'I wanted you to go
with mo to Madame W's 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?1 had rather be excused.'
'Oh, but you must see 'Captain Kate!'
he went oil, 'that's what they call her
because of the followers she has. She's
worth seeing.'
'I know the style,' I said with a ma
jestic wave of the hand. 'Hold eyes ?
blue, perhaps, black, probably?rath or
tall, immense ehignou laughs and crack s
jokes like a trooper, nub never says one
word of sense. 1 repeat it, my friend,
not any for mo!'
'Put just wait?'began Fred, and 1
interrupted, with another wave of the
hand.
'My friend, I shall leave town this*
afternoon' for the lake; should like your
company, but if you chooso to stay, 1
go alone. 1 want nothing of this Kate
or any other woman.'
'I'on my sou!!' cried Fred widening
his blue eyes. 'What has come over
you, the king of male fiiitt.!' JJcctl Litten
eh!'
\No, simply dissented,' T answered,
loftily, 'I'm tired work rild women,
and am going to leave both. Will you
go?
'Not till next week; then I'll fol
low.'
'All ?ig.h?,' I s-iid and we parted.
'Kings of flirts'Frod. had called mo
and that term uecds some explamalion,
for I should regret having any of my
friends think mn thet most detestable
affair, a man butterfly.
I was thirty, not had looking, and a
well-to-do young lawyer, possessed ol a
nice little property. I had a due appro
cation of women?liked most of them
extremely well, loved none; paid them
some harmless compliments, chatted
Walked and drove with them. Put as
for flirting?why, I spoke no word of
love gave no fair lady any reason lor
thinking I was in lovo nnd still Mrs.
Gmndy gave me the appellation of
(Male Flirt.' Well never mind: 1
didn't.
I went down to the lake shore that
afternoon and engaged rooms at a private
dwelling.
'We have three boarders, now,' the
pleasant little lady said, ?and expect one
more to morrow afternoon?a young rela
tive from the city? and there ar? jus',
rooms for one more,
Those I engaged and domiciled my
Bolf immediately in my quarters, but
not at all pleased with the prospective
young lady. Thero wero two alroady,
but harmless individuals, I moutally ofl
served at the table; one a studious dam
sel who wore spectacles, a id look a 1 at
the ceiling; the other an invalid, and
wife of the male bonder. Put this 'coin
ing girl'?w ho was she, and w hat did she
want to disturb my coveted peaco and
country quiet for'i No doubt she would
be a dashing, slashing, panier-and?ash
style of girl, who would daro toe into
making love to her, and givo mo no
peaco until I did. Flirtations might
bo all very well but a fellow didn't want
to be dragged into it, when he was in
search of peace and quiet. This was
my mental style of soliloquy till th*
coming girl came. I watched her from
my w indow as tho hack set her down.
Small, dressed in gray and veiled.
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, Rather below the
medium height nnd slender in figure;
fair with a faint color in the cheeks; hair
dusky brown, curling or rather wavy not
quite to the shoulder, and tied with a
Iduo ribbon from the smooth brow, oyos,
a quiet brown, and clear as a summer
lake. That was all, I think, that I uo
ticed. No; tho mouth was very swoet,
nnd pretty and' totally devoid of that
society smirk and haughty curl which
arc so decidedly rcpulaivo in women. I
remember thinking of that, anl then
quite forgcltiug Miss Whiting until the
following day.
?A very quiet, sensiblo-appcaring and
rather pretty youug lady,' I bad said to
myself, 'und not, one likely to molest mo
in any way.'
I trolled out to a little arbor the
next forenoon, with a hook in my hand,
and found Mi.-s Whit ing. with a book
in her hand, seated in said arbor.
'I bog pardon,' I began;'I did not
know the place was occupied.'
'Make belie va thai it isn't,' she said,
'and coirr; in. There is a tuple room, and
I am so much interested in my book,
that I shall not even see yon.'
Fe?ling decidedly complimentod at
the closing sentence, I seated myself on
the opposite bench and opened my book
But 1 did Jnof progress rapidly. Miss
Whiting was so interesting in repose,
made such a pretty, good looking
picture, sit'ing there, that I could not
but watch her.

'Miss Whiting,' I said at length,
'pardon me, but I am tired'of making

'Miss Whiting kept on reading, and
answered quietly :
'Very.well, consider me hero.'
'Not to be worsted this way,' Lisa id,
boldly.
?Well, but T want you to talk to me.'
She closed her book, keeping one
slender Hand between the pages, ami
lilted her childishly rilni eyes to my
face. y. ? ? v. '
'It is a very pleasant day. Mr. Lester,'
she said, with perfect gravity.

'It i^,' I assent' I
'Looks no in o like rain iu the-cr.rt,' the
remai kill.
'It does,' I siid, nnd then we both
laughed.
?Now,' she Rjiiid, 1 hop^.you will let
me go on with my book. It is Dickens'
'tinai Kxpaetalious,1 and if-you have
ever read it, you can uudoistand iu
interest;'
'Do yon like Dickens?' I asked.
'No,' she. said, 'I Jove him. ' From
ti e opening page to the 'Finis,' his
books are gardens of dL.light to me. lie

stylo, be as interesting, but to me there
is none like him.'
A deeper Hush bad come into her
checks, and; h$r aoves-grow, wider and
- . - ? . W Si
darker.
']).-eidei!y prcfy now,' I iu for in cd
myself, Mud really quite an intelligent
lit t Iu person.'
?After that, Miss Whiting ami I were
quite s icbiblo. I sought her society,
and she did uot avoid me, but treated
mc precisely as she w ?uld a younger
brother. Not ju t that either, fur she
was a Jittlo more reserved; and yet we
had some \< ry pleasant chats together.
She CCuld talk sei se, and I prided my
self on in)' abilities in that line, an 1 so
almost a week slipped by beft re I knew
it.
?1 think 1 should find it very dull
here but for y? u.' I said to her one day.
?Odd, - too, when I dreaded your coming
so.'
She looked up woudaringly. 'Dread

'Yes j I feared you would bo ono of
the slashing kind, and would dress to

peace.'
'What gave you that idea ?'
'I don't kuuw, unless it was belti'd
bored to death by my chum, Fred Gor
man, about a 'Captain Kite.' the hollo
of I the Beason, and I thought you might
bej l?or style,'
'And did you ever sec this Captain
Kate ?' asked Miss Whiting, lifting her
o;?lm lakes o?" eyes to mine.
I'No; but I can imagine, her,' I
atlswerod. ?
('And wdiat do you imagine her like ''
Thereupon I coro her description very
tune K as 'I had given I'rod, and eloscd:

'Now, that stylo of girl I bah not

them, no wouder I dreaded you.'
'Then you do not oonsider me at all

I 'Not at all/ I tttid decidedly, 'as I

'Oh-, thnnk you !*

to catch tho hidden T&eantng of her
words, but sho was reading, aud hor

standing at the gate, wltvu he came up

So it docs you,' she interrupted. 'J

'Very v>ell,' I continued, 'the more

us enter into a league to have n grand
flirtation ; each knowing there - is no
danger of n-broken heart ou cither side.

'But, what is th"e need V sdlC asked.

'BeeKuso we can't help it. ; and it if
'better to go about it with a fuil uuder
si a u dl.ig tonn tifjbe siy about it iu the old
way. Thinking you bar ulcss, Miss
Whiting, I Could have gone all 'summer
and never dreamed of flirting ; knowing
you to be Ciptain Kate, I shall Bligpeaii
you of malicious intentions every move
you make. Therefore, lot us agree loa
flirtation,*und all will bo weT.'
'I agree,' she said archly, -and hero is
my baud upon it.' She gave me her
band ? I remember thinking1 bow soft
and Bhapely it was?an I 1 raised it to
my iips.
'Would your heart eonie with it ?' I
said, and, she laughed merrily.
'Bravo! a.guvd beginning ! I see you
nro no amateur!' she criod ; ami so we
launched OU Vhe .cc:i of flirtation.
I told Fred of our arrangement lbs
following day. 1 thought he looked
(.leased: '
'All rign'', old fellow,' he said, .shak
ing my diand heartily. 'I am .glad to
know you are Dot my rivuLfor I am iu
earnest. I want to marry Miss Whiting,
if I can, and I didn't like to think I
was fighting against you. You arc
quite sure you are in earnest V
'Quite sure,' I answered. 'Go on, my
dear boy. with my blessing j but don't
marry her until I leave,, and so spoil our
tlirUitiou.'
?Oli, no ! shouldn't think of it 'mrlcr
a year. My business won't permit, and
I supposi: she will b? as .willing to wait/
and Fred looked-as.grave aud thought
ful as if it were, .-e! 11 I.
'Nu daubt bhe-will.wait any leugth of
time you suggest/ I said, so drily, that"
Fred looked * up, quizically. Seeing mo
perfectly serious he continued :
'And, Hen, oouldu't you speak a ijoyd
word for*1 my prospects ? Speak about
that un^lo ,pf mine, that went to India
about twenty "years ago, and has never
been beard of ^incc. 'You needn't put
that in lii'ough ; just any he wont there,
and I am fhc only heir.'
'1 assumed Fred that I would do so.
Just'es well as not,' I said, 'will bring
your perfections all to light, and say
nothing pf your failings.' Fred thanked
nie warmly, and wo parted.
Captain Kate was in tho garden when
t returned. She Mas dressed iu a blue,
thin gau^o stuff, and 'frill of laee ut her
throat and wrists. She looked exceed
ingly pretty, and I told her so.
'Hood !' she cried, bringing hor shape
ly hands together. 'I dressed purpose

have succeeded. Am 1 really truly
pretty f
'ltcally aud truly,' I echoed.
'And my eyes are uot bold, and I do
not si cm like a trooper V
'Your eyes aro the sweetest in the

She breathed a long breath.

T should never have recognized Miss
\Vlilting for the girl I had known
before. She dropped her quiet, calm,
ebilil like self, and assumed the gay,
dazzling mask of Captain Kate.
Sncaressed bceotdingly and olcgdntly.
yet with uo show of glare of colors, else
it would not h ive b ten bee nning. So c
studied my taste in all things, and fairly
dazr.lcd mo 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. Wo walked,
we sat, wo . drovo. we talked together,
j * ? i Pii . . 11
l'red occupied the spare moments, ana,
few as they were, be soMiicd very hope
ful ; for Fred was always hopeful about
all things though b" never succeeded in
anything. He had paid his undivided
attention to three young Indies, at
different times, and bten certain of
success and each lime failed. He was
tint cast down, however ; but was now
looking confidently forward to bis uuiou
With' Captain Kate
^"?'Vnu have helped me a great deal,
Jlt'n,' he would say, 'and i thank you
hi^r^uy tf>r your kind words- When
I a HI settled, consider my home yours '
'certainly,' 1 would respond * 1 "will,
l'red.'
So three weeks slipped by, aud in
two more I should depart. Our flirta
Moll OOlltillUed unabated. Kate was
bewildered, and 1 SOUltilllOS trembled
for my own safety. Oucc, when stand
ing very near to her, my lips somehow
eatnc iu Contact with he-.-, and I never
felt quito safe since that day. 'Kissing
prodUCCtil love,' I said, -and I will avoid
that ricrewfter.'
So 1 did, and we sailed, and rode, and
flirted deliciousby through the remaining
two weeks, and one morning I arose
with the uncomfortable feeling upon me
that it bad all come to an end, an j I
was to leave on the forenoon train. I
also arOSO with another knowledge?that
I was very much iu love with Captaiu
Kate ; yes, decidedly, irrevocably in
love. I had an odd feeling, too, that it
was just what Captain Kate intended ;
and 1 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
all her gaycty there was u lurking
disappointment. And then I^norvod
myself' for it, went to the arbor to ray
the last farewell.
'With my most heartfelt thanks foi
the pleasant flirtatious you have kindly
indulged me in, and hoping you all hap
piness iu the future, 1 will say good
bye,'
'And who will I dress for no*w, and
who will pay mo pretty complimouts nnd
admiru Melf,
'Fred will servo as a substitute, wou't
ho?' I usked, but she shook her bead
gayly.
?Frc?l is not frivolous enough*1
'Thanks for tho courplim jnts,-, lh?ugh- -
od. 'And now mat thtf FatofcJ ^olddc,<
for you until you return to town.'
So I left her with g?ator pajo>in nfXt
heart than I had before! a pain tha/.,!
grew deeper and deeper every step I took
till at tho foot of the hili 'if Wfaatnc un- |
endurable, and I turriod:a**e*it ar?diW*alk- |
ed deOnatly baok to the arbor. Captain
Kate's face was iu her hands,'au4 tears^
were falling upon her dress.
'Kate,' 1 said, softly, 'what is< the mat
ter?'
'I hurt my finger with a thorn aud it
j made me cry.' . .t
j Let mc extract th> thorn, I said, put-,
j ting my arms around her waist. 'And
I came daek to tell you that T was tired
of'make believe' lovo and want to play
love iu earnest; will you!'
'Why,?I suppose I cpuldr? only.-'
Only what, Kate.'
'Why, about the grand flirtation!
'We will end it in a grand wedding T '
said.
'I guess that would bo a good idea,' I
Kate answered from my shou[der.
I said good bye again ami went to sec
Fred.
Hy the way,' he said, 'now you arc
_'ning, I think I shall propose to Kate
and settle mattere.' "
'1 wouldn't." said I, Tor she is going
to marry me!'
It was rather abrupt, but FrcJ got
over it, and his. uncle really cam ; from
India and give him a handsome firrtune
and he married my pretty sister and is
very happy. b A T. r.

never bred at all?at least not bred* to

most numerous. As :i general thing,
Indian doctors, as they ad) tlieinsolvx.?*,

is nothing strange iu medicine. M i
have practiced medicine all their lives'
without enjoying the sTlgfltdst aCijUltnt

Herb doctors are popularly supposed
to spend a large pen t ion of their, time in
meandering through the fields culling
herbs. Nothing of the sort. Lots of
them wouldn't know 'catnip from 'pon

There are lung dVmturs, and doctors
with very little lungs, although tolerable
Jivers. Doctors are good livers as a
general thing.
