she throw down her stick and wks re^
turning tovrard home, wheO sho sud
denly became aware of a masculine
presence, and a deep rich voloe asked:
$ Shall I help you, miss?1' .
Looking up she saw a broad-shoul

showing a strong inclination to laugh,
i But at sight of the flushed face and
tlrtd eyes, this tall,' merry-looking
stranger became suddenly tender and
respectful; and, while Bessie grew hot
ana uncomfortable and painfully con
scious of her demoralized condition,
ho proceeded after those refractory
bovlnes in a way that evidently meant
business.
Hut, as though perfectly aware of a
superior presence, to Bessie Maple
ton's utter d'sgust, those cows formed
quietly into line and marched as de
murely toward home as that wild,
wicked frolio had never ^i^n thought
of. , yr ;
As they followed the cows along
over the green, fcl-bfcus-dotted SWftfd,
the young stranger conversed iifc an
easy, oft-hand way, which under ordi
nary circumstances would havo put'
Miss Bossie entirely at her ease. But
Bho was too keenly allvo to the fact
that her dress was torn by ait un
lucky contact with a thorn-bush, her
collar awry, and t' at her back hair
had escaped the legitimato oonflne-;
ment of comb and hair-pins, and hungi
in great, coffee-colored mosses about
her neck and throat. \
"Where does Mr. Maplcton live?"
he aske I, abruptly, when the cows
were safe In the lano and tlio bars re
placed. " I'm the new teacher, Mr.
Pierpont, at your service,'' with a low
bow, " and I'm going to board with
them this summer."
"Bight up there," answered Besslo,
indicating the house with a nod, and
smiling in spite of her chagrin.
44 These aro Mr. Mapleton'a cows."
He regarded her curiously a mo
ment. 44 And you are?"
44 Miss Mapleton," with a profound
courtesy.
" Ah I indeed. Mr. Mapleton's niece,
perhaps."
41 No; Mr. Mapleton's daughter."
"I think?I understood Mr. Maple-1
ton to say he had but one daughter,
and that was a little girl."
Irawell, he always calls me his little
girt,*7 she said, looking up with a comic
ally-counterfeited shyness; and then,
as all the grotesqueness of the situa
tion burst upon lier mind, she gave vent
to a long, low, hearty laugh. It was
contagious. Mr. Pierpont laughed too,
albeit there was a disappointed look^in
his handsome, bl.ue oyis, which was
not lost upon observing Bossie, and at
whloh ;that young ^fturally
enough felt a little plqiba;
44 Never mind, Bessie," she said to
herself,44 Mr. Pierpont doesn't seem to
care for our company. I really don't
wonder at It, considering our dilapi
dated appearance this evening, but we
will take care not to inflict our.-elves
upon him more than is necessary."
. At the gate they, met MnaMaploton.
He stopped to exonange greetings with
the young teacher, while Besslo ran
quiokly into the house and upstairs to
her room, and did not make her ap
pearanoe agaiitthut evening.
At the breakfast-table the was cool
and stately, and acknowledged Mr.
Plerpont's presence by a very slight
inclination of her handsome head.
For some rea>orf ^Ir. Edgar Pierpont
had decided that young ladlos as a
class were somewhat of a nuisance, and
ho had been particularly anxious, in
selecting his summer boarding-place,
to avoid contact with these, as ho
thought, superfluous attachments to
the human family.
44 Vain, silly things," ho was wont to
say; 41 hollow- hear ted flirts, whoso
only idea of life is to angle for the
attentions of the opposite sox, and
eventually to marry a rich man.
But If he had the least idea that
IJessle Mapleton was going to angle
for his attentions, or try to get up the
least bit of a flirtation, he reckoned
without his host, for she was as
sublimely oblivious to his presence,
except whon particularly addressed by
him, as if he had been at the antipodes.
And always her replies were sharp
and pointed and Sometimes so sarcastic
that good, Mrs. Mapleton wondered
what had come over her usually
amiable and pleasant daughter. Before
he was hardly ft ware of It, Edgar
Pierpont found hU 4nt?rest aroused.
He sftw ili&t tHlft girt was different
from other girls of his acquaintance,
and he resolved to study her.
Watching her from day to day as
she performed hor homely duties, and
seeing how quiet and helpful and
womahiy she ?vas, how kind and
Eleasant to her father and mother,
ow gentle and affable to casual
Visitors, he could not help WiBhlng she
would be just a little more sociable
with himself. But, do what he mlgh',
she met his advances with ley Indiffer
ence. The more he sought her side,
the more persistently she avoided him.
At length, piuoh chagrin, he
found himself aotuSllf beomiing in
fatuated by tine willful beauty. And
when he attempted to break the meshes
of the aw? ir; WWi fa ,,al h**?
caught, howai p>werfoss n> do so. He
had to acknowledge hJjnwB'.f Irrevocar

He believed, too, that Miss Bessie
was not altogether urtawaro of his sen
timents toward her, and he sometimes
fancied lie was not so obn6Jtlous to her
ad'he seemed to be. Watching her
olosoly he had seen swift upflashlng of

tender light, followed by sudden waves
of crimson over heck fcnd brow as

of the truth she wisely kept it to her
self. x
411 believe Edgar Pierpont lovealme,
and that he would tell me so if I gave
him the least chance," Bessie said to
herself over and over again. And yet,
strange a3 it may scorn, she placed
every possible barrier between herself
and such a declaration.
k,-A^d.JEdgar? Ho, had vainly-eought
TOr an opportunity'tb1 ftwne&frlone.
Ho knew sho purpdsoly kept OuTof his

mention of tho love that devour
ing his heart like a consuming fire, or
| to ask her for a private interviow,
, knowing the could not well refuse him
I this, and learn his fate from her own
| lips.
It was at this juncture of affairs that
I Mr.' Mapleton asked Bessie one even
ing At the supper table if she could ?
bring up the cows, saying that he had
to go some distance to see a neighbor
and it would l e quite late before ho
should get back. **
Edgar Pierpoint heard with devout
thankfulness, and eagerly awaited her
answer.
" Certainly, father." she paid, blush
ing fuiiously as she thought of hor
former experience, "I'll try."
" I'll go with her and help her, Mr.
Mapleton."
Bessie opened her lips to decline the
proffered assistance, but, as she mot
for an instant those calm blue eyes
across the table, the masterful spirit
whifh shone out through them com
pelled her to be silent.
Down through the old orchard,
where the red-checkod applos swung
low upon the heavily-'aden branches;
{>ast the corn-flelds, whoso wide, green
eaves and yellow tassels rustled in the
evening breeze; around the brow of
the hill, where their feet at every step
nestled in among the fragrant clover
blossoms, and down to the spring,
where a rustic seat had been fixed up
under some spreading oaks, they went.
He had not spoken a word since they
started. Bessie would have chosen to
go down the lane directly to Una pas
ture, but by some secret power ho had
gained-direr her within the last half
hour he compolled obedience to his
unspoken wishes. Now ho broke the
silence:
"Sit down here, Uessle, I've got
something I want to say to you."
She flashed up a little smilo of defi
ance, but sho had met her master.
She sat down. He remained stand
ing.
"Miss Mapleton," ho began, "for
more than a week I have been seeking
an opportunity to see you alone. But
you have purposely avoided me. I felt
that I coujd not go away without tell
ing iy9.u what Is in my heart. But be
fore Ieay morfe I want to ask you a
question,.and I want you to give me a
truthful, straightforward answeK.
Will you .
"Do you-doubt my veracity, ifr.
Piorpont?" sho asked, with a suddon
assumption of dignity. "If I answer
you at all, I shall probably tell you the
truth."
"Very well, then," quiet'y ignoring
the reflection contained in her speech.
" It is this: What have I overdone to
mako you dislike me so much?"
A spanm of pain swept for ono in
stant oyer hor expressivo features.
"What inakos you think 1 dislike
you?"
"You have never given me any
reasons to think otherwiso. From our
first acquaintance you have seemed to
consider me as entiroly unworthy of
your notice. Perhaps it was this which
first attracted my attention, arid sot mo
to watching you. Observing from day
to day your sweet, helpful, womanly
life, I have learned to love you, and?
oh t Besslo, I would like to know what
I have done that waa wrong, that I
may, If possible, atone, for my fault
arid try to Win your love in return."
" I want to ask you a question," she
said, suddenly, looking up with an arch
smile.; *
* A doron, if you like."
" One will do, I think, but I want
you to give me a truthful, straightfor
ward answer. Will you?"
"I'll try to," smiling In spite of his
earnestness.
" Weren't you ver) much disap
pointed when you fount 1 out that Mr.
Mapleton's little girl wa t a full-grown
young woman ?"
"I?i?hestamn ered, redden
ing painfully under her mooking scru

" No prevarication, If you please."
"Well then, I may aa well make a
clean breast of it, and admit that I was
disappointed, and, furthermore, that I
had at that time a very poor opinion
of girls In general. I considered them
as Billy and selfish, nnd~"
'! Entirely unworthy of your notice."
" Perhaps that is not putting it too
strongly," he admitted, wincing a
little. " But, Bessie) my love for you
has taught me a highor form of fatth,
and a nobler creed. Having made my
confession, am 1 not entitled to your
forgiveness, and, an answor to my
question ?"
" To my forgiveness, yos," extend
ing her hand with charming franknoss.
"I did not agree to answer your
question?"
#, You will at least tell me, Bessie,
If I can over hopoto win your love?"
"No, Edgar," with sudden swoet
seriousness. '* You oanriot hope to win
my lovo, for It Is yours already. I have
a long time known that my heart was
yours. I think I havo loved you ever
since you came to my. assistance that
evening when I was so tired and dis
couraged. But 1 was piqued at your
indifferenco to my girlish charms," she
added, na vely, " and I resolvod to pay
you off In your own coin. 1 bavo dls
ohargo 1 the debt. I am free."
11 Only to be bound again by a flrmer
contract," he exclaimed, as ho bent
over and plaoed upon her lips the seal

Together in the early twilight they
followed home the cows again, and
while Brindle and BrOwnle and Ittos*

and oontentedly along the lane theso
young people talked together of their
future, and laid wise and sagaelous

of tho other had a fat face and was
