Before f could utter a word of apology and regret she had glided, slided, or ekated away, and I stood looking like a fool, and wondering whether I'd better glide, slide, or skate after her, when I saw something glittering on the ice at my feet. I stooped aad. pioked it up a fairy tooth! You needn't look sd horror-stricken, Earle; it wasn't a real one, of course. 44 Tisa't likey I could have struck the young creature so violent a blow as to knock a tooth that had grown . there out of her mouth without knocking her down. It was a" false 6ne, but the tiniest I had ever seen in my life, false or real. I looked at it a moment, put it in my pocket book, took my hat from an urchin who had, been patiently holding it, and then, the absurdity of the thing striking me, I laughed loud and long, until the passers-by must have thought I had suddenly come into a large fortune. After I got through laughing, I recalled the face of the young girl, and the more my fancy painted it, the more charming it grew, until I had persuaded myself that if not the most beautiful, it was certainly the mostchaamiag it bad ever been my food fortune to gaze upon; and the rst question not a wise one, I saw when too late that I asked Constance, when she came down into the parlor to receive ne, was, 44 4Who is the small woman who left this house a short time ago brown as a gypey, dark arched eyebrows, nose retrousse, mouth like a baby's, gray eye?, with a queer look m them, aad wooiea gloves r' 44Pray how long did you look at her?' savd Constance. " 'Two minutes,' answered I. 44 4 You saw a great deal in two minutes,' she reterted, with a disagreeable laugh. 4 What a capital traveler and sight-Jeer you wouR make! You could rush through a gallery of paintings, for iaetaode, and earry away as many in, your mind's eye as those unfortunates who, not possessing your extraordinary talent ' yDoa't chaff, that's a good child,' I interrupted. 4 Who is she?' 44 'Shet' answered Constance, with a eurl of her Hp, 4 is a young person, one of my aunt Fidelia's favorites by -the-by, i'm not included among them,' with a shrug of the shoulders and a grimace 4 who comes here every afternoon, Sundays excepted, to teaoh ray little bisters their ABC's. Andltaiink' (narrowing her' steel-bkie eyee and wrinkling her white forehead) 4 she took a great lioerty when she left this house by the door sacred to the family and their friends, aad a still greater when she stopped long enough in, your way to have her photograph taken.' 44 0 course I said no more on the subjt, but turned U- some thenM more congenial to tke irate beauty, whp, byt be-way, hadn't raised herself in my estimation by her to say the least of them, . ill-natured remarks about the poormue uauy governess, xo ten tne truth, old.fbllow, I'd been suspecting for, some tame that my 'lily ra aid,' as 1 used to c'att he in the first days of my shoo hey ism, was not entirely free from Flemish, and that only her' hair, and not her heart, was bright and gokten. 41 That eight I dreamed "a old and withered hag, quite in the style of the Macbeth witches, Came to my bedside, and, with many strange imprecations and much snaking of a bony list, de manded tooth. 44 4It li our queen's,' she said, 4 and woe to him who, having found it, re fuses to restore it to its rightful owner.' 44 1 don't refuse to restore it to its rightful owner,'! said, with firmness; 4 1 will give it" into the mouth I mean the aaaus ec tae aueea aerseif, no other.' 44 Dare you defy me?" shrieked the bag. 4 Be-w-a-r-e!' and growling like ayon& thuader-siorm, she disap pear ei. Well, sir, I did nothing bat think about the brown-faced governeee and the ntHe of a tooth all next day, and the next, and at last I determined to find out whore she lived and send it back to her anosymoesly, of course. It wae such a ridiculous thing for 'a man to carry a r mind with him. If it had bee a a handkerchief, or a glove, or a ribbon, or a tiower but it wasn't. 44 7oiw to find oat where she lived became the question, solved for tie by sheer good luok that very evening, when I went to call on Constance. 44 Mies Howard was 'not at ho ate but Mrs. Fairraan (Aunt Fidelia) was, and had a message far me; ' ' 44 4 Tad very thing?' 1' inwardly exulted, is1 1' entered the room, with ou ward Aimpestire and dignity.

I can't imagine what she would do, if it were not for Daisy.' And do you know, old fellow," said Douglass,ureaking off in his narrative to take a long whiff at his cigar, and send a fleecy ring floating upward, 44 that if I had been asked to choose a name for her, that's the very name I'd have chosenDaisy. A bright, sturdy, constant, frank-faced little tlewer, making pleasant the fields and meadows and roadsides. Are you smiling? Beg pardon thought you were; and I didn't wonder at it Hob Douglass doing the poetical is rather rum. Let's where was I? The girl is the life and light of the humble placo she calls her home, and to the eyes of hor mother there is no sunshine like Daisy's smile,' said Aunt Fidelia; 4 and apropos of that, let me tell you something odd that happened to Miss ltussel a couple of days 'ago unless you are sufficiently rested and wish to follow the skaters.' 44 4I assure you, my dear madam, I am t suftioiently rested, and very much interested,' I said. 4 Pray go on.' 44 The old lady went on. 4 Daisy has the loveliest tiny teeth in the world, but unfortunately last week she broke one of the front ones. Away goes the child to the dentist, and has what was left of it pulled out, and then heme to her mother, and smiles. 4 Oh dear! oh dear!' cries the mother who is, as I told you before, a weak, nervous thing 4 where is your tooth? and vhara wlioro la rrui t amilii&l1 You see, the tooth, Mr. Douglass, had taken Daisy's smile with it, and the poor girl didn't look at all like Daisy. So the inodoet little thing, who hadn't given a thought to her looks herself, seeing her mother's distress, went directly baek to the dentist, aad begged him to tell her -what to do. 4 Have a fahe oae in its place,' said he; 4 but it will take some time to get up a permanence, and you say you roust have something immediately. The only thing we oan do is to find a tooth and fasten it in with a bit of wax to serve a; a temporary.' 44 4asier said thaa done, Mr. Douglass. It took a long while a whole afternoon, in fact to match Daisy's pretty teeth; but at last it was done, aad the dear little daughter went home in the twilight, and smiled again at her contented mother. Well, a tlay or two after, going from here, some stupid man slips on the ice, falls violently ag.tinet the child, his tall hat striking her straight in the mouth, and pat flies the 4 temporary.' And now Mrs. Bussol is in,ing for sunshine again.' 44 4 Who was the man?' I asked. 44 4 Why, what a silly question!' said Aunt Fidelia, sharply. How should I know? And as for Daisy, her nearsighted eyes didn't rest on him aa instant, and she couldn't tell hire from Adam. So, poor thing, after all her trouble, she's lost the tooth. Can't get another, bocausshe isn't able to recompense the man for the time it would take to find one, and, is obliged to go about with her mouth shut. You needn't say how dreadful for a woman ; I'll say it for you.' 44 4 The mother is a seam? trees,' said I ; 4 perhaps my mother, who is kindness itself, could help her te some work which would pay her well. Can you give me her address?' 44 4 You're a good boy,' said the unsuspecting old soul; and, scribbling it on one of her own cards, she gave it to me. 4 And now I think you'd better go. Good -sight.' 44 The next day after my highly satisfactory interview with Mrs. Fairman was St. Valentine's Day, and what I considered a happy thought flashed into my mind, aad 1 instantly proceeded to put it into execution. I bought a pretty little tortoise-shell box, laid the tooth in it on a bed of white cotton, in company with two or three small gold pieces to pay for the 4 permanence;' and wrapping the box in a sheet of rose-perfumed paper, on which 1 had written a verse or two what a time I had trying to find rhymes to 4 mouth' and 4 tooth'! I sent it by one of our errand-hoysi with strjet injunction not to answer any questions, to the residence of Miss Diiisy Kus.sel. Judge of my astonishment when, in less than an hour, the box-, minus the tooth, but still containing the coins, was returned to me, with a note written ia a hand which betrayed extreme agitation, and Which read thus: 44 'Mise lUissel thanks Mr. Douglass for his kindness, aad, while retaining Iter own property, begs to return the vawert and other things tent by mistake.' 44 Imagine ray feelin-s, my dear fellow. No, you can't imagine them; it's impossible My cheeksman as I am, actually barned with mortification. 1 aKvm near hMaging the money, or 4 Hie other"-things, a she called it, out of the window; but, on second thought,pock eied it hwtead. 4 How in the world had she found out?

I knew you found it hard struggling in this cold world, that you had a doar mother almost dopendent upon you' (her face softened a shade when I spoke of hor mother), 4and I never dreamed ' 44 4 But the versos,' she interrupted, raising her eyes and darting a look of reproach at mo (by the by, did 1 tell you she had forgotten to send them with the 'other things?'), 4and Miss Howard? Oh, Mr. Douglass, it was cruel and unmanly of you!' 44 4 Miss Howard and I aro not, on as friendly terms as formerly, I answered ; which was true, as the count had made his appearance at tho skating party. 44 4 Still, sir, I am only a poor teacher, and not in your circle at all, and they were too too' and, by George! she burst into tears." 44 Were they 'too too?' " asked Earle, with a smile. 44 Ob, there was something about the happiness of the fairy tooth Jn heing imprisoned in so lovely a prison as her fairy mouth, and some reference to a kiss that was all!" ' 44 And quite enough," said -Earle, 44 taking into consideration "that you had never been introduced to the young lady." 44 Well, sir when the little thing began to cry, I thought 1 should go wild. Miss ltussel,' I cried, do do forgive me! You know that on St. Valentine's Day people are privileged to a little more in fact, a great deal more extravagant aad poetical language than on other days. And, upon my word and honor, 1 respect and esteem you with all my heart, aad have admired you ever siace the day I firt beheld you the day I oame near knocking you down.' 44 A smile beamed through ber tears as she hrld out her hand and said, 4 That's about 36 hours ago. But I'll detain you no longer, Mr. Douglass. I believe you are sincere in what you say.' 'auu y ou loririve uier i asaeu. a ,1 J s . . i r - 1 I 44 4 One moment more,' I 4 Pray tell me before we part how you discovered, wrote the valentine.' 44 She looked at me in great surprise 4 1 have heard of you often, from my pu pils,1 she said, 4 and one day when we, were out walking they pointed .out to me the house ja whiuh you live.' 44 4Yes, my dear Miss Uussel, but they knew nothing about the tooth, the box, or the verses.' 44 Still more surprised, she looked at me as she went to Her desk and took from it the otfendiag valentine,, which in her anger and haste she had neglected to return, and handed it to me. 44 By George! old fellow, in my absent-minded way, I'd signed my uaaie to itv There It was,, bold and freo little nourish at the end of the last 4s,' and all 'Yours to command, Kobert Douglass.' " Earle burst out laughing. 44 Just what might have been expected of the boy who arse to school oae morning with a tin pie-plate under his arm in stead1 of his slate." 44 So I did, by George!

Perhaps, not being entirely bereft of brains, roti may have discovered that I was lalf in love with Miss Bussel when I went to offer her an apology for trying to befriend her. Well, sir, I came away wholly in love with her, and that ia time she returned my passion maybe iuferred from tho fact that wo were married three days ago, on the anniversary of the day I found the fairy tooth fairy in more senses than one, for it cortatnly enchanted mr, and led me by force of that enchantment to where happiness and Bat don't wait another moment, my doar fellow.
