Cut, when his month was free again, he said half-sulkily, half-apologetically: I “I might have known a girl couldn’t throw worth a cent.” “Why!” demanded Miss Alice sharply. “Because—why—because—you see—they j haven’t got the experience,” ho stammered ^ feebly. “Nonsense! they haven’t tho chi vide—that’s 1 - . all!

Msss Alice was not in good temper, but she felt it neces sary to say something. “I hope tho hotel offers better quarters for travelers than this in summer.” she began. “It does.” “Thou this doc; not belong to iti” “No, ma’am.” “Who lives hero, then'” “Ido.” “I N.-g your pardon," stammered Mi* Alice, I thought you lived where we hired— where wo met you-iu-in- You must ex cuse me.” I m not a regular guide; but as times were i play - the foreann which you have.

Apprehension took tho place of ill-humor in her hearer. He turnedliis eyes hastily away, and glanced above him. Tho elder guide had gone forward to catch Miss Alice’s horse, which, relieved of life rider, was flounder ing toward tho trail. Jlrs. Rightbody was nowhere to lie seen. And these two were still twenty feet below tho trail! ‘job.’ What would Henry Marvin say! It would nearly kill him. She liegan herself to feel a littlo frightened, and walked towards tho door. “One moment, miss!” Tho yoimg girl hesitated. Tho iSan's ton© was surly, and yet indicated a certain kind of half-pathetic grievance. Her curiosity got the better of her prudence, and she turned back. Parker was his foreman In the paper mill, he had moved too, hired a house a little way out of the village, next to Mr. May's homestead, and brought with him his mother—and his mother’s cat. Hence this story, and what ever tears may besprinkle it Mrs. Parker's cat was not at all like Peter May. H* was black, all black, with green- yellow eyes, and an aspect that made a stranger think of the regulation cat that was the familiar of witches in all history. He came from Hanover to Meriden by rail, nailed up in a strawberry crate, hissing, spitting, yowling and sharpening his claws on bis frail prison all the way, to the terror of every pas senger in the car Indeed, Joe was forced to carry crate and all into a baggage car at the third station, and ride with it the rest of the way, for the brakemen refused to look after it, so daunted were they with the wild animal within. Tiger was sent into solitary confine ment in the cellar os soon as Mrs. Parker reached her house, and was subdued by hunger and darkness before they dared to let him range abroad In the new neighborhood. Now, Joe Parker had not been in Meriden long enough to make much acquaintance there, mid was very hard at work the fust few weeks of his stay, so that he always went do— in church ou Sunday, and sniased any sight thereby of tho blooming damstls in the choir or in the pews; he was ashamed of it, to lie sure, but there was the change of air from Vermont mountains to the fat meadow land and low ! i : jiosture* about the river, and then he was really overworked for a time in helping to place tho new machinery, move the old, and settle his motlier in this strange place, where he knew no one to whom he could ap ply for help or suggestion.

Min Alice shrugged her pretty shouiders scornfully, but ignored her mother’s implica tion. “You wero particularly warned against going into the valley at this season," she only replied, grimly.

The road that led to their single place of refuge—a cabin, half hotel, half trading post, scarce a mile away—skirted the base of tho rocky dome, and passed perilously near the precipitous wall of tbo valley. There was a rapid deacon* of o hundred yards or more to this terrace-like passage; and tho guides paused for a moment of consultation, coolly obliviona, alike to the terrified questioning of M~ Rightbody, or th* half insolent indo- gulds was nunetbeanua, stoat ana namerous; the root gentle; but Miss Alico angrily felt that ho had once or twice exercised his superior mas culine function-;in a rough v.ay; end yet the next moment she would have probably re jected tho idea that she had even noticed it. There was no doubt, however, that ho was a little surly. * A fierce scramble finally brought them found themselves, ! back in safety to tho trail; but in the action ono May morning, 1 Mas Alice’s shoulder, striking a projecting bowlder, wrung from her a feminine cry- of pain, her first sign of womanly weakness.

Why, she could not tell. And yet ho had certainly a kind face, despite its seri ousness; and a fine face, ailicit unshorn and weather beaten. Her own eyes had never been so near to any man’s before, ravo her lover’s; and yet she had never seen so much in even his. Bhe slipped her hand away, not with any reference to him, but rather to ponder over this singular experience, end, somehow, felt uncomfortable thereat. Nor wns he less so. it was but a few days ago that he had accepted the charge of this young woman from t!io elder guide, who was the recognized escort of tho Rightbody party, having been a former corresjiondent of her father's. He had been hired like any other guide, but had undertaken tho task with that chivalrous enthusiasm which tho overage Californian always extends to the sex to rare to him. But the illusion had passed; and he Lad dropped into a sulky, practical sense of his situation, perhaps fraught with less danger to himself. O ily, when appealed to by his manhood or her weakness, ho had for gotten his wounded vanity. Ho strode moodily ahead, dutifully break ing tho path for her in tho direction of the distant canyon, where Mrs. Rightbody and her friend awaited them. Miss Alice was first to speak. Iu this trackless, uncharted terra incognita of tho passions, it is always the woman who stops out to load the way. “Yon know this place very well. I suppose you have lived here long!” “Yes." “You were not born bore -no?” A long pause. “I observe they coil you ‘Stanislaus Joe.’ Of epurso that is not your real namert (Mem.—Miss Alice had never called 1dm anything, inually prefacing any request with a languid, “O-er-er, please, inister-cr-al” explicit snoug* for his station.) “No." Miss Alico ((retting after him, and bawl- irg in Ins ear)--What name did you say? The man (doggedly)—I don't know. Nevertheless, when they reached tho cabin, after a half-hour's buffeting with the storm, Miss Alice applied herself to her mother’s es cort, Mr. Ryder. , “What's tho name of the man who takes care of my horse?” “Stanislaus Joe,” responded Mr. Ryder. “Is that all?” “No, Sometime* he’s called Joe Stanis laus.” Mias Alico (satirically)—I frapposo it’s tho custom hero to send young ladies out with gentlemen who hide their names under on alias? * Mr. Ryder (greatly perplexed)—Why, dear me, Ml* Alice, you oilers 'peered to mo ns a (tl ns wa* «U* to tak* kesr — Min Alice ftaterrupWng with • wounded, and kU dove-like timidity)—Oh, never mind, plea»el ” The cabin offered l>fct scanty nccoraraoda- on to tho tourists; which fact, when in- gnantly presented to Mra Rightbody, wns by the good-bumowd Ryder from tbit the usual hotel was et boards, doth and paper, up during th* season, and partly dls- . eonldn’tbo kept Ncvertba- Mr, Ryder of an and here are tho books to show it.” He drew aside tho dingy calico curtain, re vealed a small shelf of bulky books, took down too largo volumes—cue of botany, one -v'geology—nervously seugM his text, and J at them in Alice’s outstretched hands. “I had no intention,’' she liegan, half proudly, halt cmbarrasscdly. “Am I right, miss?’* ho interrupted. “I presume you are, if you say so.” “That’s all, ma’am. Thank youl” Before the girl had time to reply ho was gone. When he again returned it was with her horse, and Mrs. Rightbody and Ryder I a “ m . a8 a dtygirl M her late dinner. Joe were awaiting her. But Mi* Alico noticed ; grew worse and worse. He thought of Manny as if by a stroke, lost his honest young heart—for, beloved reader, this Is only a love story. Only a love story; only a record of the greet world song, the event of to many lives, the finality of all That passing bell That tolls one into heaven or hell. as tho old poet sings. When I hear people say, “Only a love story,” I think of that couplet of Tennyson's; One drew a sharp knife through my tender throat Slowly, and nothing more. Quite enough for once! muses the average reader; and so is this matter of love, be it in the [Kission of Romeo and Juliet or tho lew wordy and more commonplace emotion of a foreman in a factory and a farmer’s daugh ter, for, after all, “do the best that ye may,” Tis love, love, love that makes the world go round—yes, that makes our sod old world a merry-go-round. “Love will find out the way,” says on an cient song, and Joe was no exception to the rule of the Pathfinder. He persuaded bis mother to send him over to the neighbor's th* very next night for a pitcher of milk, and also to negotiate for their daily supply. This being successfully effected, be went dally for the milk before mill hours, and his pail was filled by Mary Ann, blooming with the sweet morning air, neat, trim and lovely at 0 o'clock that his own horse was missing. “Are you not going with us!” she asked. “No, ma’am.” “(Jh, indeed!” Mi-s Alice felt her speech was a feeble con ventionalism, but it was all she could say. She, however, did something. Hitherto it in mill and market; her face shone above the machinery, her laugh tinkled with the mill hell. He made friends with Peter also; for cats know lovers—when they are cat lovers—just as well as children know their friends. Tiger was still kspt In the high- j fenced chicken yard on the Parker premises now devoid of chickens—as a measure of pro- had been her habit t* ^"stematically reject Ins caution against his straying; he was too dear assistance in mounting to her seat. Now she to his niistrem to be ventured at large yet awaited him. As be approached she smiled It is not to be denied that Manny looked with s,"caret tol i a* the exprea and put out her little foot. He instantly stooped, she placed it in his hand, rose with a spring and for ono supreme moment Stanis laus Joe hekl her unresistingly in his arms. Tho next moment she was in the saddle, but in that brief interval of sixty seconds she had uttered a volume in a single sentence: “I hope you will forgive me!” Ho muttered a reply, and turned his face aside quickly as if to hide it. Miss Alice cantered forward with a smile, but pulled her hat down over her eyes as she joined her mother. She was blushing. THE TWO CATS. “You dearest, sweetest Tttle duck, so it was! Manny's pcssus pet.” It sounded much like “mammy's pcssus fst,” but the voice was so young, so fresh, so oxiing, that Joe Parker could not believe his ears. There wns something “magnetic” about it, to use the slang of the day; at least it at tracted Joe to the row of raspberries that flung their green arms all abroad on tho old picket feujo between his garden and the next neighbor s and irresistibly bent his head to peep through those respectable palings and see what lie eould sec. And this is what ho saw: Such a lovely girl! Her hair was red, to be sure, but it was that bronze red that looks brown in the depth of its ripples and gold on their crests. Just now, in the blazing sunshine, it was all a rich deep red, with gilt threads among it, but then shu had such eyes! large, clear, red hazel eyes, as beautiful ns a robin's or a squirrel's, fringed with dark lashes and over- browed with delicate dark arches, a little lifted with a look of surprise that was the result of shape and outline. I regret to say that her fair, soft brow and cheeks were slightly freckled, but in such a fresh red and white the smallest spot will show, and nobody is perfectly lieautilul. not even Mary Ann May, commonly called “Manny May.” For Instance, her mouth was large; but then it was so full, so red. am? parted over such firm white teeth, that it seemed just to match the raucy little nose above and the round dimpled chin Ik:low it Her waist was large, too, just as largo as the waist of any sculptured goddess wrought by Phidias or Praxiteles, for Manny had never been pinched in mind or body, or given over to that awful tyrant “They," who puts our girls to the torture of rack and boot from their infancy, that they may be and do as “They" do and are. But she had a tail, strong, shapely figure, and its movements were all instinct with tbo untrammeled grace of nature. As she stood in her mother’s garden, with both hands clasp ing her pet to her Imsom, a basket of dande lion greens and an old ease knife at her feet, she was a perfect picture; but the had not *n idea of it. Joe’s theories fled os ho gazed. Tho voice had not misled him, it was not a mother’s voice; the darling on whom Manny lavished her sweet words, her tender embrace, even her kisses, wa*—a cat. Bat such a cat! Peter was as great a beauty as Ue mistress His coat of deep bule-gray w» striped and gashed witli shin ies black; a ring ofbUck encircled his mae- idve neck; his tail was ringed also wito rable, -M «v» wUe Mack stripes ran from betwesp ears down to Ike very Op of the tail, ■ they went into one broad band, wm a annw-whita son* noon Ms "But, Manny, think of mother; sh - goin* to L* alone ami she thinks everything of Tiger. Why, she never would forgive mo if I killed him.” “Well, if you hko her better’n you do me, alt right. I shall kill him, unle* pa will; so there!” Now Joe was not used to girls and their ways. He thought Mary Ann meant every word sho raid. He was really frightened. “But, Manny, just think. What will mother ray!” “I don't care a cent what anybody rays. I will not stand by and sc© my dear sweet old cat killed by a dreadful beast like that and not defend him. I’ll pison it” “Oh, Mary Ann!” cried Joe. “Then kill him yourself,’’ she retorted. “I cannot,” said Joe, steadily. Well he knew how his silent mother loved Tiger; like many other women, she bestowed on her pet all the demonstrative affection sh© was too shy and too reserved to lavish on Joe. The eat slept on her bed, followed her about the house and garden, sprung up into her lap and pun-ed there as she sat alone in tho evenings, and however fierce a fighter of his kind, was devoted and loving to his mistress. More than ever did sho cling to him now, in her wordless jealousy of Joe’s new love; for well she knew that “My son * my son till he gets him a wife,” and deeply |h© felt, os most mothers feel, that her rule and her joy were over. Joe looked at Manny with his heart in his eyes, but that young person’s willful soul had got tho better of her sense and her alfection both; she hail given Joe her final test; sho would find out now whether he loved her or his mother best. Poor Joe! “You won’t!” she asked, setting her lips in a firm red line. “No,” said Joe, with equal firmness. The situation had come to a dead lock. Just then a wild scream was heard, and a scurrying of feet. Mrs. Parker, with a face of fright, drew herself fff ©r the picket fence, and called for Joe. “Come quick!” sho cried. “Tige has tum bled into the cistern!” Joe ran as fast as he could. He knew the cistern was two-thirds full, and its sides slip pery, but he had not an idea what to do; ho lost his wits—and Mary Ann found thorn! Sho overtook him at the door of his mother's kitchen. “Here! here!” she said, breathlessly; “here’s pa’s scoop-net; it’s real strong. You can’t get him out any other way.” And yet five minutes before she had mado it a vital issue with Joe that he should kill this very cat. Girls are queer. So Tige, resisting to the last, was fished out of tho water butt and handed over to his delighted mistress, who rolled him in her apron and took him in for repairs, flinging over her shoulder to Manny a curt: “I don’t know how to thank ye enough.” “Manny!” said Joe, holding out his arms in the moonlight. Mary Ann rushed into them, and sobbed out: “I did act like all pos:v«sud! I imtcr should have liked you a mile 1. , 1.: if vorAl hilled Tige!” Oh, woman! Vv,: .an! So they wire mam - ever after, and hod it < a.l somer than i’et-r, 1..; peaceable u;; a Oiu.I.i;. in Harpers Lazar. and f thei.

The “anxious and aimlera” have in their ranks many a lovely fact and capable character. Manny had beau no fur ther than the district school for bar educa tion, and her home training was too bard, practical, thorough work. She read no novels or “story papers;” The Weekly Cour- ont and The Puritan Recorder helped her through Sundays, but on weak days sha had work to do, and at night was tired enough to go to bed early. Bo she was simple as well as sensible, in the best sense of simplicity, and did not coquette with Joe any more than was natural to any girl. She dimpled and blushed when he came in, pretended to be vexed when Peter preferred his knee to her lap, called him on “awful thing” if he caught her hand in his with the milk pail handle, and was always ready to go to singing school and evening meeting with him, so that his true love ran ominously smooth. But, alas! there was trouble coming. Tige, the Parker cat, hurt himself seriously In an attempt to climb the palings of his jail yard, for they were old and rickety, and could not' bear his weight His mistre* nursed him in the house for six weeks with great care, and when he was quite well again, and stronger than ever with much feeding, he was turned out of doors and allowed to roam and ravage as he would, and at once be lit upon Peter. Dire was the conflict, but Mra. Parker hastened to the rescue with a pail of water, and the astonished Peter, quite drenched to the skin, fled, while Mrs. Parker picked up Tiger and carried him into the kitchen, lamenting over him as if be were a hurt child. Now Mrs. Parker was a shy and silent woman, but very resolute; she at once made up her mind that the May’s cat should not intrude on her premises to «dis- turb Tiger. Sha had tho garden fence re-enforced, and even a strip of wire netting added to its height on the Mays' side; but she could not cabin, crib or con fine Tiger himself—a circumstance that vexed her much. And when Peter came home to Mary Ann, after that first duel, dripping like a drowned rat, she, too, was indignimt; but what could she do? Battles set in, bowls by night, skirmishes by day; a piece was toon bitten out of Peter’s lovely waving tail, and Tiger lost hplf on ear. Manny made invidious remarks about Mra Parker's cat every day of her life, and Mrs. Parker made Joe's meals bitter to hts soul with evil speaking at Peter and Peter’s family—meaaing the Maya Yet they were friendly enough, except ou the eat question.
