Now be a brave girl and- try to help me, aad we will be happy yet, although there are but two of as now,'' and the tears wbieh she bad long atrivea te suppress, filled ber eyes as she finished. BelSsbneee waa net one of Kate's faults, aad by a strong effort she controlled ber motions and strove te assist her mother io carrying oet ber plane. The house to wbieh they were to re more was a pretty stone cottage situated oa the banks ofthc Hudson, and surrounded by a large, well-cultivated garden. Ia less than a week from tbe time f their removal, they were fettled ia their new heme, aDd Kate had already begun te love the place. She spent nearly half her time iB tbe garden, training the rose bushes about tbe door and coaxing the morning glory mee to serve fer blinds to the win-, daws of her Mttle chamber. She filled eve- j ry apartment ia the house with ber bouquets, and made a perfect bower of ber own room ' with garland of fiowes and wreajbs and festoons of gresa leaves. She began to take a tort of pride io the houo and its ear- j rouadings, and soon made it a regular prac tice to assi.it the aervaat in her meraiu task of taking care of the rooms. With her rich bair knotted up plainly in a shin ing coil at the back ef her bead, and a neat, white linen apron covering her pretty morn ing dress, she woulJ trip slant the beuxe dusting aad ariacgiug the furciture, and looping back tbe snewr, light window dra pery ber arrangements giving a sort- ef artietio charm to the room. " You have nade a perfect fairy laal of our little parlor, my love," eaid Mrs May nard, entering the rseia one bright June morniij. Kate was busied ia making a fresh wreath for the frame of her mother'e pic ture, and looked up brightly from Ler work. " I bare come to ask you to assist a?:U-a arraagicg tho east ehaaaber,'p the lady con tinued. '' I suppose it will have aa occu pant to marrow night, fer a gentlemen call ed aal eotra-ed board last evening, while you were iit." Kata did not reply, but bent her bead low over bar roes, to conceal the eipres- sion of di.iatisfaction :bich clouded ber; face. " Whe is be !" the asked in a constrain ed voice, 4cd without raiiag her eyes". " His name is Mirris, I believe. replied her mother. " lie brought a letter of in troduction from your father'a old friend, Judge Lane, aud is apparently a very gen tlemanly per-on." Poor Mr Mirrisl If be only could have known what a deoided dislike for him spraeg up ia Kate's heart the next morning, !hen be made bis appearance, be might have saved himself the trouble of watching her from beneath hie long lales, as she Cittad about tbe bouse buy with her morn- , in' tasks. As it was, it did net take bim loujj to obtain an iokiog of the fact, for. Kite, with characteristic frankness, took 1 no pains to ooneeal it' Though she wasj too proud to let ber dislike betray her iuto j decided uuconseiou'ness, yet there was ae : mistaking the look in ber eyes when they ehauoed lo rest ou him, br abort, almost curt replies when he addressed liar, and her : apparent perfect iudifferace to bis presence : and opinions. i Ferhaps all this was ai annoyance to bim, jot he novcr gave htr eau-e to think after the first few days, but maintained j a marked coolness towards ber which suit- ' ed bur how weligouly she. knew. Yet she 1 did not forgot the look of disappointment' that clouded his faoe when sbo quietly re fused hie company on a morning walk, dur ing the first week of his stay, or the flush that overspread it when she stood by bim and carelessly tore to pieoes a china rose he bad given her. She was slsar'iag by tbe parlor window, in the shadow cf the drapery, one morning, bile he walked slowly bask and forth in the gravelled walks of the garden. She wnndered what he was thinking of, as bo passed by ber, his eyes fixed thoughtfully a the ground, his tossing bis dark hair ubout bis forehead. Suddenly ber thought reverted to her correspondent in Baltimore, and the idea that there mii;bi be a lettter from him at tho po't oflioe, eoourred to her. She cetild plead no exeuso to ber mother for taking tbe long walk to the city, and sieod irresolute a moment, weighing the thought that nvxt occurred to her. Deciding Keon, she tripped out into the gar den aad stood beside Mr. Morria aa be leaned agaiust a tree. "Mr. Morris," she said, hurriedly, "will you do mo the favor to inquire for a letter for a friend of mine at the post office, while you are in town to-day ?'' " Certuinly," he replied, quietly. " What Bamef " Miss Mattic Wayne," said Kato, hoping he would not look at ber faco. Sho was not loolJng at him, and did not ice bim change color or notice how illegibly be wrote the name in a little memoran dum book. He cant one quick, keen glance after her, as she entered the house, aud then a bright smile illuminated bis dark face, "Caught at last, my preUy bird," be mattered through his while teetb. "Caught at last." Kate was anxious all day last kcr moth er should see the letter sho expected Be fore sbc could get it. She statiened her self at ber window at fire o'clock, Ac Mr. Morria approached tbe bouse, as usual, at tbat hour, she thought be walked very slowly, and he.'with hie dark bright eyes fixed os ber .half-concealed figure, as sho atnod bv the window, thought sbe looked unusually pretty, with that bright flush of expectancy on ber cheeks, one nurrica down lo meet him, and received abetter from bis bands aa he entered tbe hall. A moment mere aud she was seated on the bare,'gnar!ed roots of an eld tree at the further end of tbe garden reading it. And Mr. Morris?' Ha walked directly to bis room, and taking a scat by the window, watched her as she read. How ber eyes woald have flashed bad ebe known that bis keen glanoe was bent steadily on her flush ed, animated face, that he marked every expression tbat flitted across it with a tri umphant kcating ot tbe heart. He met her a few moments after at tbe supper table, and while engaged in butter ing a muffin, watched from beneath, his leeg lashes ber clouded, perplexed face. She west to her roem after tea, and re-read the last seatenoc of ber letter : " I am ia New York city, and with to take advantage ef tbe only opportunity I shall have for a long time for writiag yen. Do not refuse mo. Ever your friend, A. M. Guauau." She passed a sleepless night, wondering what sbe should tie. She wished very much to sec her unknown correspondent ; but kr mother knew all her acquaintances, and a call from a strange gentleman would require in eiplanatioa, wfcioh sbe felt that sbe could sot give stific torily. Private ly she had do doubts of her correspondent's good faith ; so that when morning came she bad formed a plan te be put iuto execution iaaanediatvly. A little aote was despatched to Mr. Gra ham, In which rhe assigned a reason for not invitingjiim directly ta ber mother's bonne, and agreed to meet him ea a certain promenade that be might accompany her home. She could then introduce him' to ber mother as a new acquaintance, and so tbe matter woald pass smoothly. She de scribed tbe dries that sbe would wear, that be auiht by tbat means recognize ber, and requested aa answer. Ia reply, tbe gen tleman agreed 10 ber proposal, and inform ed ber that abe might know bim by a rose which be would wear in bis coat. There waa a rapid beating of ber heart that flushed ber face when Kate stepped upon the broad, gravelled walk of the prom enade. It was a familiar place to ber, for she bad trod the walks aud bounded over the turf beneath the tress when sbe was a child, yet she went forward .is timidly as if abe vrere afraid losing her way. There were but uw persocs witLru sight. First came a lady aad eentleman, then two yuung ladies, then a group of children. Sudden ly abe started with a look almost of terror walking quite apart, and coming direct ly towards Ler, was Mr. Morris! TTbat should she do ? Sbe bad not time to re alise 1'A2 s feared when sbe passed him. He bad bedimed, but sbe did net paue, for while he ruined hid hat from his bead with bis K it Land, his right was raised sig aificantly to his breast, where tbe stem of a half bio n roe was drawn through a button hole ! So stuensd was she with surprise that sbc realized nothing more until sbc found herself in hor rooia at borne, wondering if she bad returned his salutation. Sbe con cluded tbat be ninsl bare received only a blank stare of astonishment And low what should !he do ? " I'll never fee him nain; I will not go down to tea," she said to herself, as the sound of tbe supper-bell rang through the house; and tripping lightly down the stairs, abe ran awiftiy to the farthest end ot the garden, and threw herself upon the grass by the little vine eovered arbor. " O, dear, what shall I do?" sbe groaned, wringing her slender hands. " I cannot, I never can see him! O, "hat shall I do ?" " Jnst what be wishes you Is do, Mattic marry htm.'' She sprang te her feet. Not two yards from her stood Mr. Morris, with his dark eyee filed upon her faee. Ha etepped quickly forward aud strove te take her bands, but she shrank from bim. " You have broken your word, "she cried, passionately. " ' You promised tbat you would n. t try to seek me out." , " Neither have I. My word bas been kept a i' red. I became a member of your home ly the merest aotcident, nor knew that you knew anything of my Utile corres pondent, whoa I learned lo love long ago, until yeu unwittingly disclosed the secret to me jour!eif." " Your name." " My friend, Judge Lane, who has known arte from a boy, has always called me ' Mr. Idorri,' as I am called at home by my fa ther's (-Uvea and many of aiy ir'eads. When writing to your mother, be spoke of me in his usual way, and I did not notico tbe mistake until I observed that she al ways called me by my Christian name. Then my curiosity being exoited, I gave tbe matter a few minatee refieotioB, and aoen saw how it was, but delayed the duty of correcting her antil it became tieceesary, as it was rather a disagreeable piece ef business." He paused, looking down into the clear eyes that were so earnestly searching his face.
