LAST EOSE OF SUMMER.
"You ought to bo ashamed of yourself,
Kate."
Kate answered only by a. saucy toss of
her head.
"He loves the very ground you tread
?l ." continued Mrs. Tnurston, "He is
better worth having than a dozen Stan
hopes, millionaires though they are. So
brave and talented, and yet with such a
bigfbigJieart-"
"What do I care about his heart, or
- anybody's heart, for that matter," an?
swered Kate, interrupting. "I wish
they'd let me alone."
"That wbn?t ?o, Kate^t least, with
me. I sometimes; think you are4 bofci
coquette. At any" rate, you" take good
care you are not let alone. There's poor
Stanhope, now."
"Well, what of Stanhope?"
"Why, this. You know you never
could be happy with such a man. After
^tll. tou are t^o,good for, him." ?'
"You're very complimentery all at
once, especially considering how you'Te
bcenj scolding me," said Kate, with a
point,
! "Now aWt be cross, dear.' I'm your
oldest and best friend; and if I can't
apeak the truth, ivho' can? You are
t your wont enemy. You-pretend to be
only a fashionable butterfly, but you are
fomething far better; and Harry Talbot
thinks so too; for Harry is hot the man
to wish to marry a mere frivolous girl.
- Yorr should not trifle with:him any
longer, if, as I suspect, you really like
him-".
""Now this is going .too far," said Kate,
angrily, or, at least, affected anger. "I
have ney.er given you, or any one, the
\ right tbialk in thisway*" \
" "Well, well, dear," replied Mrs. Thure
ton, "go your own way! OnlyT hope
you won!tiave to repent it, for Harry is
not one to be trifled with beyond a cer?
tain point; he has one of those deep and
strong, butt patient natures, that will
bear a great deal, but which, once offend
i-. ed, is alienated forever."
' Kate and Mrsv Thurstou had been at
, school together, and the friendship form?
ed then had continued ever since. Mrs:
Thurstbn was the eldest by a couple of
years, and had been married for more
than a twelvemonth, so that she had, as
she correctly thought, some little right,
at least, to speak to Kate as she had
done. ??
It was a gay party that had assembled
at Beechcroft, the country-seat of Kate's
father. Among the male guests two
were pre-emineht-7-Mr. Stanhope; on ac^
count of his great wealth, and Harry
^Talbot. Tbeiaitsr was not without for?
tune, though he was no millionaire; but.
he was. handsome, talented, accomplish?
ed, gay-spirited, and brave. For the
first time in his life he was seriously in
love, and it was with Kate.
Kate, to do her justice, hardly knew
. her own mind. She was the belle on her
set, and fond of admiration?so fond of
It, that she just escaped being a flirt.
But she had sterling.Qualities, and really
liked Harr* more ,-than ^ she supposed. -
On their 3rat acquaintance, she had been
S very gracious to him; but as Harry
grow more in earnest, she drew back. It
was'not that she liked him less : it was
an unconscious timidity, which we leave
our fair.-Isadora to explain ; only she
concealed this .timidiiy under, the gciae
of gay indifference. She coquetted with
others, especially with Mr. Stanhope. ,**
As for Harry ne.was puzzled. He let
. things go on in this way for a week or so,
answering her mere raillery with a wiv
not less keen than her own; but he grew
' tired at last of this state of doubt, andre?
solved to know his fate. He chose' the
very morning oh which Mrs. Thnrston
had been taking Kate to task. It was,
perhaps, unfortunate for him that he did,
for Kate was a-good deal annoyed by the
conversation, and Harry was made to
suffer for it.
"I saw jou turn into the garden here/'
cried:- Harry, overtaking Kate, . just. After
she had parted with her friends, "und I
took the liberty of following you. We
&| ? are all jealous of your roses, you know/
you give them so much of your time."
? "You must admit," she answered. gay
2y> "that they repay it. A little kind?
ness, in the way of pruning and water?
ing, and, lo 1 how they bloom and smile
T;. hack at you."
<(And don't you think others would
smile back?" said Harry, venturing on
dangerous ground.
* "I never cared to make them," coolly
answered Kate, snipping off some dead
wood. "One may like flowers, and not
care for??"
v" "For what?" said Harry, his heart
beating fast. .
-v "Well, bears, let us say. Leading a
bear about is quite different,'for example,
from tendjag a rose-garden/' %
There was a saucy look in her eyes
which gave point to her remarks. Harry
":. -'? was disconcerted for a moment, but for a
?? moment only. .
"It iso't,every bear that would be will?
ing to be led about and made a show of.
s&>There are bears and beaux," said he,!
sturdily. v .
It was now Kate's heart that beat fast'
For some reason Harry /was terribly in i
? % %, earnest this morning. She lost courage, j
and turned the cotgperas.tion.
"We go to the Lindon Woods, don't'
we, after lunch ? I must hurry, or I shall
not be in time."
"And I believe I am to hare the honor
of driving yon."
T ~ Now, this was the fact* But Kate was
half angry at Harry's sturdy speech.
Her saucy remark had brought out a re?
tort she little expected. To be revenged
she determined to ignore her promise.
"To drive with yon I Surely you must
be mistaken."
Harry blazed up instantly. What did
this mean? Was she going coolly to
throw him ovar?' But he controlled him?
self, and said calmly, "I thought that I
aaked you yesterday, and that you ac?
cepted." ?
Kate buried her face, for a second, in
a cluster of roses. On that moment's
hesitation hong her future life. She had
a presentiment of this, tat it was too late
to go back; she wag in a mood to sacri?
fice everything rather than beat a re?
treat
"People think a great. many things
sometimes," she answered, "in which
they are mistaken."
Harry drew himself up to his full
height, and then made a low bow.
"A gentlemen, at any rate, Miss Mur?
ray, sever thinks his memory is right'
, when a lady says it is wrong."
Kate had never admired him so much
as that .moment Even then it would
not hare been too late if she had retreat?
ed from b^er position. But something, an
insane impulse which cur fair readers
may comprehend, drove her to go even
further.
."That is well" she said. "The truth
is," and she looked Harry in the face, "I
anrgoing to drive with Mr. Stanhope."
Harry bowed again, and was about to
go. But h<2 turned on*his beel, as if by
sodden impulse, and said, "My memory
is faulty, I fear, in more than one par
ticular. I forgot until this very moment,
that I was going to town this afternoon.
So I bad best make my adieus."
. This was a home-thrust Bat Kate
was equal to the occasion. .1 think wo?
men generally are; at least they are
more so than men. Kate felt that she
had lost Harry, forever, and in feeling it,
realized folly, for the first time, how
much she had lost. She would have
given worlds to roca'l the-last" five min
Qtes. In fact *bo would hive done any?
thing, except sacrifice her pride. -But
she met the crisis bravely. .
"Going! Deaf me I How sorry they'll
all be, especially Fanny."
The point of this was that Harry had
paid Fanny Livingstone more attention
than he had paid any one except Kate.
"Bat stay?I must not let you go with?
out some remembrance. Here is a rose;
it is the last one, I suppose, you'll see at
Beechcroft this year. We'll call it 'the
last rose of summer,' if you please. Only,
pray, don't give it to Fanny. She has^
no notion of being left to 'pine on the
stem.' That's the phrase, isn't it?"
"I promise you," said Harry, also etjual
to the occasion, "that I'll not give it to
Fanny. I'll keep it to remind me of
you.; 'The Last Rose of Summer I? You
have chosen your name capitally. Good
by, Miss Murray."
The cutting tone, the mock courtesy
with which this was said, the low bow,
were all inimitable. On the whole, I
think Harry had the best of it.
Nevertheless, be was in no gentle
mood as he took the train that afternoon,
and was whirled off to London. He
anathematized. I have no doubt, the
whole fSfc; * men generally do it in
similar circuual?nces. He remained a
few dayS" in LsS&Sn, but his mood did not
improve. Now and .then an insane no?
tion would seize him, as it. has. done
others like him, that Kate*would repent;
and the postman nr-er came round that
Harry did not half expect a scented
three-cornered b?Uet, the counterpart of
three or fouy^Bk which he had re?
ed ved from WBLWf different times, and
which bft nadHS treasured. But no
billet came. ?Wne' end of a fortnight,
as: he came oot?of his. club, he met an ac?
quaintance, who bad just left Beechcroft.
"We missed you there, dreadfully,
after you left," said* Charley Howard.
"Fanny was quite cross for a day or two;
none of us fellows could get a word from
her. But, in spite of this, we were sorry
you went, all of us, except, perhaps,
Stanhope. Yes, I must except Stanhope.
He's been making his innings ever since
with. Miss Murray. The talk is they're
engaged; and I suppose its true. A
brave fellow is Stanhope; for, between
you and me, Kate is too much of a spirit
for most men."
tCharleywhad no ideaTof the pain he was
inflicting?rattle-brains like him never
have." But Harry t in consequence of .that
chance meeting, went home, burned the
three treasurea notes, and started for the
Continent the next Saturday.
Meantime the summer months passed,
and Beechcroft, which had been crowded
uptil September, began to empty. Kate
was now left comparatively, alone. At
first she had flirted desperately with
Stanhope, and had almost made up her
mind to marry him; If he bad asked
her, the night after Harry had departed
for France, perhaps she would have ac?
cepted him?pique will do much in such
cases. She was spared a folly that she
would have regretted all ber life.
Stanhope had not yet summoned cou?
rage ; and when he did, her mood had
changed. ? -
But others came, and other fortunes
were laid at her feet, for never had Kate
been so brilliant as during that summer.
It was to no. purpose. Kate was too
noble, after all, to many a man she did
not love. A word would have done it;
but she would have died rather than
write that word;-and we suppose every
Other woman would have acted like her.
So summer went, and autumn came.
?Now and then, at first, she was also insane
enough to thiuk Harry would write; but
this delusion soon, passed 'away; she real?
ized, as Mrs. Thurston had told her, that
Harry, once lost, was lost forever,
j October had cbme. The leaves were
beginning to flutter to the ground, cold
winds to blow, even the latest roses to
fall. The summer 'guests bad all de?
parted, even Mrs. Thurston?and Kate
was alone.
It was such a relief to hen. Of late, it
had often been as much as she could do
to keep up appearances. Pride had died
oat long;'ago.
One day she was in the garden, think?
ing of all this; and it was with difficulty
I she could keep back the tears. She re
i called the last conversation between her
I and ber lover, Ah! what earnestness
and passion had underlain Harry's half
jesting tone. To have been loved in that
way, and yet to have flung it contemptu?
ously aside I "
Suddenly she stopped. A solitary rose
caught her eye, the only one she had
seen that day?the last one, perhaps, of
the season. She plucked it mechanical?
ly, singing in a low, sad voice:
? "'Tis thejast rose of summer,
Left blooming alone."
She was quite unconscious of what she
was doing. Leaning her head pensively
on her hands, she regarded that solitary
rose, her thought meantime far away.
J All at once, from the other side of the
garden wall, a manly voice began to sing
saucily:
* "I'll not leave thee, thou lone one,
To pine on the stem."
She started, coloring violently. Was
it possible ? She knew that voice I Who
would dare but Harry ? Aod would even
he?
Shame, embarrassment, anger, love,
all agitated her at once. A few months
before the anger would have triumphed.
Now it was the shame.
She turned to escape. But, bewil?
dered, ignorent where she was going, only
ran into the arms of Harry, as he entered
the garden gate.
What did she do, that proud Kate, but
burst into tears, and then struggle to get
away. But Harry held her tight, even
drew her head to bis shoulder, and as he
could not get at her lips to kiss her, for
she resolutely turned her face away,
kissed her hair.
"Darliug 1" he whispered, soothingly,
"forgive and forget. Don't you love me,
after all, Kate? Heaven knows I love
you I"
Kate made no reply, but she ceased
trying to'escape. She was only too wil?
ling to forgive .and forget. Gradually
her sobs stopped. At last, Harry, nut?
ting bis unoccupied hand under ber coin,
gently raised it, and kissed her full and
fair on the lips.
She smiled at him for an instant
through ber tears. Then she blushed
rosy red. Then she sprang away from
his arms like a young leopardess.
"You horrid, horrid wretch I" she
cried. "Don't you think I mean it. You
took one so by surprise, one doesn't know
what one did."
"Nor I either, Kate, dear," said Harry,
coolly advancing and recapturing her.
!So, to make sure, suppose you do it
again, knowing what you do?"
Kate blushed rosier than ever, and
looked at him rebelliously; but, seeing
he was in dead earnest, put up her lips
as meekly as a lamb.
'1 /only permit -it to save you the cost
of another trip to Earis^' she added, sauc?
ily, however.
"Of course," answered Harry. But he
took another kiss, notwithstanding.
Now to explain how Hany came there.
He had been as unhappy as Kate. Even
foreign travel bad had no charms for
him. He struggled through the summer,
and, at last, returned of sheer despair.
In London, he heard that Kate, instead
of being married to Stanhope, as he had
expected, was still single; and at all the
clubs it was said that the millionaire had
been contumeliously rejected. On hear?
ing this Harry had taken the next train
to Beechcroft; bad been told, on arriv?
ing, that Kate was in the garden; and
baa sought her there?with what results
we* have seen.
I think Kate and Harry are the hap?
piest couple I know. Perhaps it is be?
cause they bad their quarrel out before
tbey were married, though I cannot Bay
; I recommend anybody to imitate them;
the best way, I fancy, is not to quarrel at
alU'?,They still rftlly each other, however,
as'saucily as ever.
? "You are not going off to Paris, in a
huff, again, though I did talk to the
French embassador at dinner-time yes?
terday," said Kate, one day, going to the
door with her husband after breakfast.
"So: we may as well settle'where we
shall spend the summer?at papa's, or at
Eyde?1*
"At Ryde ? I'll not go to Paris, it I
might make you sentimental again."
"You're a real, old, ugly bear 1" said
Kate, affecting to pout.
"Better a bear," answered Harry, run?
ning ;down the steps, and looking mis?
chievously hack, "than 'A Last Rose of
Summer'?eh, Kate ?"

Ayer's
Hair Vigor,
For restoring Gray Hair to
its natural Vitality and Color.
A dressing
which is at
once agree?
able, healthy,
and effectual
for preserv?
ing the hair.
\Fadedorgray
\hair is soon
restored to its
original color, with the gloss and
freshness of youth. Thin hair is
thickened, falling hair checked, and
baldness often, though not always,
cured by its use. Nothing can re?
store the hair where ti)e follicles are
destroyed, or the glands atrophied
and decayed. But such as remain
can be saved for usefulness by this
application. Instead of fouling the
hair with a pasty sediment, it will
keep it clean and vigorous. Its
occasional use will prevent the hair
from turning gray or falling off,
and consequently prevent baldness.
I Free from those deleterious sub?
stances which make some prepara?
tions dangerous and injurious to
the hair, the Vigor can only benefit
but not harm it. If wanted merely
for a
HAIR DRESSING,
nothing else can be found so desir?
able. Containing neither oil nor
dye, it does not soil white cam?
bric, and yet lasts long on the hair,
giving it a rich glossy lustre and a
grateful perfume.
