Frank FI ort? U was a pleasant fellow
when lie had bis own way. lie was

not so surprising after all, as it to he

this same ideal.
I After the bridal trip, the)' est iblish

with ever)* convenience for comfort.
And to his particular friend ho said. ?!

frown, and sho.v their displeasure I

<pucnii.il at the evidence his friend was

well in practice as it <hud sounded in

The friend could hardly tell upon

opinion, but aller that l.:.?..t interview be
lost all tears lor llie future of the fragile
delicate being Frank had taken for a
wife, and to feel there might be a possi
bility of his receiving some of tho les
sons iu Submission his mother's partiali
ty had ip'iicd him in his youthful
days.
Tu those ubo ht.yj studd'.ed the face
as an index ?of character, there are
certain signs that rarely prove untrue
In Daisy's face .there was that which
did uot coincide with tho first received
idea of fragility and softness. The small
firmly closed mouth, dropping eyelids,
the decided, contralto voice, aud white,
firm hands, showed plainly that sho
would find a way to assort and maintain
her dignity.

Frank's friend departed with the
peculiar feeling of satisfaction wo always
? have when wc know our friends uro go
ing to meet with just retribution for
pins past and future, especially when wo
hare always felt they needed just such
lessons to perfect their characters.
For a few months matters went on
well. Horton made u model hush md,
whilo llifi novelty Listed, hqt bef >ro the
season was over his old habits began to
assert themselves,
All this time he had uever undertaken
to air his flirting propensities till one
day a brilliant widow from New Orlems
appeared in society Frank got himself
introduced at Mrs. Starr's grand party
and she was SOOU spinning urouud in his
arms to thu music the ban 1 was tuiking,
enough to make one dizzy to sic.
Frank leuued over the window and
talked and she listened to his pr tty
speeches und looked into his fUuo with
her dusky eyou, till she fairly turned
his head. D.tisy took it very quietly,
talking pleasantly to every one, but nev
er losing sij^ht of the pair the whole
evening. When they went home, Frank
expected a lecture and was prepared to
be as firm as a rock, >o de'ense of his
; rights; but to his surprise, Daisy neither
I pouted, nor scolded, hut chatte 1 pleas
j antly on nil the events of the evening,
including the pretty widow, whose name
Klie in it her avoided no forced into no
tice.
Frank advanced rapidly in the good
graces of the widow und they plunge l
juto a flirtation which made thu boldest
tremble fur lhii?y, who, if sho cured,
never showed it in her manner, nil at
length the widow b' g:ui to think hor- j
mere child, but she was soon to fool

Frank was absent and sin* did not tell
him. Thatovciiing ho asked his churn ,
to escort DnUy to the reception, as he
wanted to go t>> a meeting of some socie
ty to u/h ich he belonged, (really to call
upon the widow).
Daisy was dressed charmingly, and
never looked like a dove than u ?w when
she contemplated such a venom masting
to the widow, tier glossy hair contain?
i d only one decor.it ion, u bouutiful tea
roa??, uuother at her throat, an 1 a cluster

Daiej said this iu her sweat, eh 1 i. h
way, iu a low voice, b it it w is hoird
distinctly by the whole f?rotip, who stood
apart to see the effect of Daisy's pelile
words on .the widow. Her black rye.

mer out a sentence, but give up iu dss
pair. Daisy smile 1 sweetly on the
people aboit' her, and pissed nn, seem
ingly unconscious of the stor-d she hid
raised in the widow's breast.
The widow avoided Krank ever after
wards, and would allow no explanation
ami soon departed for other euo ies. '
Frank found a ptuaceu for hit
wouod.il bride in renewing hisuo jiiain
tanoe with nu old ft itue, Miss Mabel
> lillord. who h id just returned (Yum,
Europe. This time ho throw himsolf
into the nflair with a perfect rookloss.iOd
of consequences' Everybody wondered
at Daisy's seeming indiflforooco. Krank
went so tar as to sen 1 Mitt Uli (Tor I a
I proposal to clop.?; Daisy managed to
intercept tho letter, in the hands of the
unsuspecting Tom nud answered it 99
f rom Mabel, agrojing to ibo elopement,
and naming an early day for the aturt.
This was rooro than Kiank b id anticipa
ted, nod he would fuia have drawn, back
but this Mabel prevented by taunting
him with a lour of bis wife, till she bad
worked him into one of those frenzies,
in which a man docs not stop to thloU
at all.
Tri the meantime, she urged tho nap
essity of caution and chnrgod him to
communicate with her only by let
ter.
It was settled they should m?ot iat
the depot and take a train for Chicago;
she would be closely veiled but would
find menus to make herself known.
Krank told Daisy that ho was nompellod
to make a trip west, at which Dais^
showed a sufficient degree of regret, but
submitted like an angel, without 'a
murmur. She made ready his clothes,
naked no prying questions nt todiis roufe.
Frank bought tickets for Chicago. At
tho depot a veiled lady silently took his
arm. Ho escorted her aboard tho cars,
seated himself be.-idc bpr. By mu?e
gesture she made him understand that
there were people near she foared would
recognize them, and that they must not
talk.
Horton had time to reflect, and his
thoughts were not very pleasant,. He
was louring Daisy, his darling little wish
aud for what! Now that, the treasure
he bad sought was within his Jjrasp, it
seemed worthless compared to the one
he had so foolishly thrown away. What
bis companion thoughts were he had no
means of knowing, though aha gate sigiHf
id a wish to nestle closer to his side. t?

His lh>l feeling was joy unspeakable*

with it cumcthu thought of Mabel. Ho
cov red his face with hje hands, ?nd
said;
"Oh, Daisy why are you here?"
"To save you, Frank," said Daisy
' Shall we conti UC our journey west

"Oh, Daisy, if we only could: Hut

"Her letters!" grasped Frank.
' She never wrote any to you.'
"And miner"
"Are all safe in my pocket,' said
Daisy.
' I saw," she continued, "where the
wild passion for excitement was leading
you, and decided to make one effort ti
save you. I saw you give Tom the let

something for me, saying I would post
the letter myself, and afterwards I
managed to boon hand to intercept your

Miss Clifford's name to you."
"And .-he never received them," said
Frank.
"N. t one," said Daisy.
Frank gave 11 groat si^h ol rcliefthon
when be though'! what :r Pool ho bad
been, ha began to.look deeidly sheepish;
a look of anguish took its place as the
thought thai Daisy could never love hjui
again, came to his mind.
"1 await your decision, Frank," said
Daisy.
"And will you forgive me, Daisy, aud
be my darling wife agnin, and let nie
love you?" Here Frank broke down
completely he sank down in the nearest
I chair and covered his fueo with his
hands. Daisy moved closev to him and
laying her hand on hid head, gently
stroked his hair. Frank put his arms
around her and while she wipod away
his tears, he confessed all. He promised
ample amends in future. In Daisy's
eye; there was n look of delicious tri
umph plainly Tisiblo.
Frank enjoyed the little trip they
concluded to take West, much more
than ho did his honeymoon. People
woudcrcd a little but ceased who a they
could find out nothing as Frank settled
down after their return and made a
model husband while Daisy, fragile and
delicate as ever, more gentle and affec
tionate, governed him completely where
ho was to have beeu absolute monarch.
He looked so happy and satisfied in be
ing thus governed that it took away
half the malicious pleasure bis friend
expected to feel wheu he paid hin a
second visit, last autumn, and witnessed
Franks meekly pushing a perambulator
along the garden walk which contained
his youngest baby, the ownership of the
Said baby being an honor to which his
most brilliant conquest in bis flirting
days was as nothing in comparison.

The boat was now rapidly approach

boat contained a couple of lady frieuds
I siw the danger, and went up a tree
like a squirrel, perching myself anjop''

Unfortunately for me, the sward un
der my tree was grocu and smooth, and
the girls picked it out at once for their
picnic, and the hamper was unpacked,
and the merry party, inviting that
villainous Pan to partake, sat down un
der my pereh, and began to enjoy them

Of course, it was pleasant for me to
hear them laughing, and to see the cold

iu recalling my name to their recolluc

when a bottle of champagne was opened,
