I haven’t the slightest idea who Dickens is, and no curiosity whatever on the subject.” , . . “I hate him!” she cried fiercely to her own reflection In her mirror that mgm“l do thoroughly hate him. He thinks

me an ignorant little goose, and so 1 am I never so truly despised myself. But he sha’n’t remind me of my shortcomings; indeed, he sha’n’t. I suppose he thinks I will take anything from him, because I am a country girl and know nothing of city ways and manners. He shall find out his mistake. He sha n t patronize me. If it were not for grandpa, tm mnfcp this nlace too hot to hold him.

The conclusion of this speech was mst J in the noise of the door, which Mary • closed with a bang after her.

“How provoking Jeannette can be sometimes!" she soliloquized, hastening along the hall. “I’m afraid her supper disagreed with her.” . “Whose supper?” inquired a voice from • the surrounding darkness. t “You,” cried Mary., facing Jack. , “What a faculty you have for putting yourself where you are not wanted!

“Come, Miss Mary, that is very se,vere. I am going to my room, and there is no other way, I believe. I overheard your remark. If it is a ease of indigestion I have an infallible euro. “It is not a case of indigestion merely a case of being disagreeable." “Oh Then 1 suppose Jeannette is the offender. What did she say or do?" “Nothing that concerns you. “Are you positive of that? he asked, trying to see the outlines of her face in the shadow. “I thought possibly my name had been mentioned.”

He found her standing before the stable door, looking slightly disconsolate. “I’m not going to ride this morning,” she called out, when he was some yards off. “Not ride?” he repeated, directing an inquiring glance at her habit. “I dressed to go as usual,” was the response, “and now I discover that loby took my saddle to be fixed yesterday, and forgot to get it last night.
