our nero must needs introduce himself hetwoen the cards, to got a nearer view. Tliimovement brought his nether hahiliiticmin dangerous proximity to tlie gearing of thnext card, and "thereby hangs a tale.""You.1 say ! She goes pootv.don't sh<

the stripper ; "hut you must be very carefihow you move around amongst this hardware.

across our hero's mind, and he began to rtreat precipitately without waiting for a

answer. There was not much room t

spare betwixt himself and the gearingtho card behind him. Another step baclward completed the ceremony of introdmtion. Ilis unwhisperables being of lar«jcalibre, tho process of snarling them up iito a hard knot was no ways slow. Jon;than gave tongue instanter, and by tlitwentieth gyration of the embodiment tlimusic was melodious. Gen.

Yt*s. llarrv is jealous, I sure of it. I am.writing l»y tin: taolo, and of course cannot

sec any tiling that is going on around inc. ]Vol this tiling 1 am sure of, I lint Ilariv andMinnie liave been quarreling; that Minniehas tapped her little foot on the hearth rugexamined the rosy nails of each blenderhand attentively, and that llarry has whistled Yankee Doodle with all his might, lookingout from under his long brown lashes,to see how his indillercncc ollerted Minnie.Now Minnie takes a book and turns

uver tile leaves carelessly, stopping to hum;i tune that one of Harry's rivals is exceed-in«_jly lbn«l\»r. Harry yawns. Minnie kcepton hummini; the air without looking up, aminow goes for her writing de>k. Opens ii,takes out a huge while envelope, supersciI < «_!in a bold, beautiful liaixl.blushes :i

ihoti^h he would devour her.Minnie takes ja-t the daintiest sheet of

paper out of her desk, and commences writing.0,so neatly ami so nicely. She nev-rtook so much pains when she wrote toHarry. never, not she: and she hones liar-ry will understand it. lie docs understandit, bites lii-i lip*' strokes 1»is moustache, and<ets his teeth lotj ?tl»er. Xmv lie hitchesibotit in liis chair; put. his feet on an ottoman; now kicks the ottoman over and getstip out of his chair altogether.

Minnie smiles ; 11 arty goes to the window.Why don't he sit down, and not uinke a

.1 unco of himself? Why don't he take itjoolly, set before the lir? and lead his news- jpapers, in t.-ad of pleasing the little coqueteof a Minnie by his uneasiness? WhaTools men are J lt'1 live, he is half-lookim?over lier shoulder tliis minute ! Sit dn»vnyou ape, ami not make a wliiilv\ ind ofyourself.

Minnie draws herself up like a littlo <juocnas Harry glances at her writing.arches herneck, and curls her red lips as though hehad insulted her, and he writhes into hischair again.

Minnie writes fabler than ever, and Harrywatches her. Now she had finished,and is fumbling about in her desk aftersouieimng. l os, ;i pair ot scissors.whatcan she want of tlieiu ? Clip, and off goesone of her brown curls, llarry stmts uponhis lounge; sits down again, and againkicks over the ottoman."Would you like to lead my letter, Maggie?"I read it."Whata nice letter it is," [ exclaimed,

giving it hack to her.1 wish 1 could say something to comfort

Harry. 1 might, if.if.I wasn't a woman,just like Minnie.

"lie understands French, then ? I say toMinnie.

"O, yes he is a fine French scholar,"sheanswers, placing her brown curl within thef 11- -f .1-- 1 "iuiws ui iiiu icucr.

llarry heps up again, and sits down as

quickly.Minnie commences putting her desk in

order. Wipes her pen, shut down the coverof her inkstand, replaces her scissors, pnperand envelopes. Harry sighs; gracious,what a sight! for all the world like the puffof a steam engine.

Minnie takes up her writing and a lampbends down her red lips for a kiss, and says:"Good night, Maggie."Now she is gone. Harry sighs, long loud

and deep, glances at me. I hope I don'tsmile, though it would be just me to. Nowl,. -U..:- «UU 13 will, ui uio tuilir again, IU1U COIlllllgtowards me. ..
