MINNY’S FALL. BY LETTUCE THORPE. | & ~ “No, Helen, I never would offer myself to a. woman until quite sure that she would accept me.” " “And how is your honor to know without asking ?” .“Oh, an affectionate woman cannot help betraying it in some way, if she is really in love.” bt . “Pshaw! Charley, you young men have such wonderful knowledge of our sex, and such.sublime confidence in your own judgments respecting us. Let me tell you, sir, that pride keeps many a woman from betraying her preference.” S “I am not talking of proud women, I want nothing to do with that style —cold and passionless. Give me the sweet, frank, impulsive creature that is not ashamed to let a man see she! cares for him.” i {

“Sweet, frank, impulsive creature! Oh, Charley! In other words, a little soft, mincing, sentimental idiot, that hasn’t enough sense to keep her fancies to herself, Minny!” and the speaker turned to a mischievons looking brunette seated very demurely at her embroidery. | “Minny, haven’t you any-+ thing to say upon this very importaunt question? .Charles is sneering at proud women. Aren’t you going to defend yourself?” - . ] “Am I proud?” she inquired in return, with a look of questioning innocence, that changed suddenly to one of blushing confusion, as she encountered the gentleman’s admiring gaze. “Are you proud, Miss Innocence ?— Did not my country cousin call you a stuck-up minx? Of course you are, and what is worse still, you are proud of pride.” . e hedy “Why, Helen, you are making me out a terible case; Mr. Forsyth will be disgusted.” ; o - “That were impossible,” he said in a low voice as he passed by her side out of the room. - |

“What did he say, Minny,” inquired his cousin after he hgd gone. ; ~“Oh, some polite nonsense, that my own speech called forth, that was all. But how foolishly sensitive men are about being refused! I do not see why they take it so much to heart. I think it is absurd for a man to feel the refusal of qne woman .so deeply; when he knows there are plenty of others ready to say yes in a moment.” “True; but he does not want the others, and it:must be a great . disappointment.” L ; " “Disappointment! - Of course; but we were not talking of that. It is the humiliation your cousin means to avoid. - I am afraid that he will live and die a bachelor.” “I am afraid so too, if he waits for you to betray your preference.” e " “Nonsense, Helen; he has never given me any reason.” e “Of course not.. Has he not just said that he would never tell his love until quite sure of a return. It is the only unmanly thing I ever heard him say.” 5 . : | “You are very severe, Helen.” | “Because he is such a dear, good fellow that I do not like to have him betray so much vanity, for that is at the bottom of it, you know, Minny. I wish something dreadful would happen to you,dear.? i . ¢ b © “Well, really, lam very much obliged te you. Shall I break my neck for your especial gratification? Would you like to have me jump out of the window, or into the lake ?” . |

“No, but I want you to frighten him in some way. It would be such fun Jo make him speak.”" | “Oh, Helen, I should be ashamed.” * “Pshaw! T’ll tell you: how to manage it. Make your horse run away, and then pretend that you are terribly hurt.” - ‘ - “I won’t do anything cof the kind, I hate such things.” o “Who'’s to know ? I never shall tell, and if you don’t do it, you and Charles will go on in this way for years and years, and then you will marry some man you do not care-a pin for, just out of piqueé, and lose the kindest, most generous hearted fellow in the world, whose vanity only needs a little lesson. “You eansjump off your horse and then send him home, and I shall see Charles’ face when the riderless steed makes his appearance.- All that I am afraid of'is that I shall not be able to keep my countenance. . Comeg; Minny, say youw’ll do it, and I'll promise to accompany you when you go back to New York.” !

. “Will you really, Helen ?” “Yes, I will, if you’ll agree to what I propose.” ‘ “Well, I would do almost anything for the sake of having you go home with me, even a. mean -contemptible thing like that, though I hate the very thought of it.” 3 e “You are too high toned, Minny; altogether. But I would not ask you to do it for any other mian.” o ‘Helen Rodney was an orphan, living with her uncle, the father of Charles Forsyth, for whom she felt all the love and tenderness of a sister, which affection was so. warmly returned by him, although they had never indulged in any cousinly flirtations whatever; indeed, it had long been a favorite scheme of hers, that Minny Hamilton, her school girl friend, should become her cousin’s ‘wife. . She: felt quite convinced that they were mutually at+ tached, but feared pride would keep them apart. Thenextmorning Chartes was reading in his own room, when he heard Helen’s voice in the garden calling to him, and begging that he would come down and see some strange plant that had just bloomed. “But -where is Miss Hamilton ?” he in'quireti;{aften the flower had been duly examined: and admired. o | “She went off riding on the white any-” B i “What, alone ?” ; i “No; she intended :getting Anna Ripley to join her, their horses trot so nicely together; but—oh, Charley, there comes the horse without any rider. Minny must have been thrown. Run—run and see.” R

He did not wait to be told, however, but went off like the wind in the direction that the horse had come, while Helen ran into the house to indulge in a wicked laugh at her cousin’s expense. Then she sat down to wait the denouement of the adventure; growing very impatient, however, as the moments passed without either Charles or Minny making their appearance.— Finally, however, to her utter amaze: ment and chagrin, she saw the latter dragging herself slowly up the hill upon which the house was situated.— She ran out at once to meet her, her spirits sinking lower and lower as she caught the expression of the young girl’s face. ‘ - “What is the matter?” she cried; “what makes you look so—" ;| = | “Mad? Yes,” exclaimed Minny, petishly; “that is just the way I feel, I have made a fool of myself, and hurt my ankle into the bargain, and there’s

the end of your interesting scheme, Miss Rodney. lam so mad, so—" “Oh, Minny, don’t be angry with ‘me, lam so sorry. But let me help you, and tell me how it all happened. Didn’t you see Charles? He flew off as if he had been shot.” - “He’s a brute, Helen, I hate him. [ never want to see him again! Conceited puppy!” e . “Why, you poor ¢hild, do tell me all about it.” : o “Just wait until I reach my room, and can lie down, then I-will tell you the whole charming story; but I shall go home just as soon as my foot is well enough, and I never will speak to him again as longas Ilive. Never!” So Helen assisted her to her chamber and examined the injured ankle, ‘which was indeed much bruised and swollen; but her aunt soon appearing to offer her kindly aid, the fretful expression passed from the young girl’s face, and she rewarded their efforts to make her comfortable with her usual sweet and sunny smile. Poor Helen, in the meantime, was dying with impatience to hear the story, and as soon as the two girls weére- alohe she exclaimed : : g 7

“Now, darling, tell me all about it.” “Why, Helen, I played my part like a bungler, as I knew I should. The horse sprang forward just as I prepared to jump, and I fell with my ankle under me upon a stone. I was thankful enough to get back and pretended ingensibility. But wheén Mr. Forsyth reached the place. and taking me in his arms, called me his sweet Minny, some exasperating spirit took possession of me, and I laughed in his face like an idiot.” . G “Qh, Minny, what made you ?” “I don’t know, I tell you: it was just like me. I always knew I hadn’t any genge’ ? i - “Why, he dropped me, the mean fellow, just as if T had been a log of wood. I never will look at him again, never! Your beautiful romance has ended'delightfully, hasn’t it ?” : | The gallant lover leaves the lady rolling in the dust, to get home as, best she can. “I hate him! I despise him!” . | “But he did not know that you were hurt, of course, or he never would have left you, even if he did suspect a trick. There he comes, now up the hill.” e o “Indeed! How does the mighty gentleman look ?” “Very black, Minny, I must confess, but he will apologize, I know when he hears that you are hurt. I will leave you now, and let you try to sleep.” “I shall not sleep, and I shall ‘not accept his apologies. I hate him and myself, and—" : “Not me, Minny, I hope. I thought I should bring you twq together, and we should all be so glad sbut good-bye for the present;” and kissing the tired girl she went to meet her cousin. “Why, Chazles,” she began, in reéproachful tones, “how could you treat Minny as you did? She hurt her foot very badly and will be confined to her room, p;‘()'t')aply,_ f_QI: several days.”

. “Hurt Helen! did you say that she was hurt ?” . : Lp| ' “Of course I did, and you left f',ﬂer 80 strangely to crawl up here all by herself. She is:very much offended, I assure you.” ? ; : : “Why, Helen, she laughed in my face, and I thought it was all a trick to make a fool of me.” “Girls generally laugh when they are pleased.” “Don’t” be absurd, Helen; but I did not dream that she was hurt.. Go and apologize to her for me, that’s a ‘good girl, and give her this rose with 1y sincere regrets.” P Helen did not wait for anything more; but flew up to Minny’s room, to find her still awake and crying bitterly. i P “Why, you poor little darling,” she exclaimed “do not say so, or I never shall forgive myself. But there is a roge from Charley, who feels as badly as you do. He asks your forgiveness in the humblest manner: Indeed, he almost pushed me down in his eagerness, as if I were_of no consequence at all. He did not-dream that you were hurt, for Minny,” and: here she could net repress-a girlish giggle “he though# you were making a fool of him.’ Minny took the rose with a very forgiving smile, notwithstanding her recent protestations of unending hostility, and Helen went away feeling quite sure that sleep would soon come now to refresh and stfengthen her.— She was confined to heriroom, however, for. several days, during which Charles chafed and, fretted, and scarcely tried to hide his impatience for her reappearance. - - -®V.[ -,

“Charley, what is the matter ?” Helen asked one day. “I believe that you are in love at last—but who can it be? I should suspect our patient up stairs, only you will have nothing to do with proud women. It must be a sweet, frank, jm—" “Stop, Helen, stop—don’t repeat my nonsense.” “But tell me now, cousin, is it Minn ?” % y“Yes it is,” he replied, earnestly; “pbut I have not the slightest idea whether she cares for me or not. I have a great mind to stratagem.” “Don’t, don’t, Charley,” interrupted Helen, quickly. : - “Why not, Helen ?” he asked, looking up in seme surprise. | , “Oh, because, because—make her a good, honest, manly offer, and she will respect you a great deal more,” “But she may refuse me, Helen—and I could not endure—" - “There she comes; now do as I tell you.” - : i And she ran out of one door as Minny entered the other. It was hard to tell which was the most embarrassed of the two—but as Minny’s steps seemed vey uncertain (owing to her lameness, of course), Charles put his arm around her, and for the next ten minutes, he hardly knew what he said or did, until Minny, smiliig up at him through her tears, whispered— ' “Now indeed, I am proud.” Then, with many little blushes, she told him all about his cousin’s little plot, fearing gbreatly that he would be disgusted: but he only laughed, and said it - had ended very happily, ° . v

So far,the case isnot apeculiarone. Butnotlong after this, Goss being supposed dead, a stranger stopping at a wayside-inn was taken out in the wagon of a casual wayfarer, as though the latter: had courteously entreated the formier totake a ride.—.
