Howard A', f'vllir. THWARTED. 'Motl.u !" A look of tender expostulation; the swift moving of nicod lips toa smile. Two fai'os almost t )Uclied as a pair strong hi'ms relieved feeble ones ol t heavy ptU'kngvof honks. ' Weil, dear," said the mellow old voice ot Mrs. Maples, iiildregaing liei si n, Lynn ; " I thought you had enough 'o carry." Lynn Maples' arms mifht hnve heen said to be lull, for he carried a dry pooda bundle, a va'.ise, a well-packet hhawl-strap nr.d an umbrella; but lie look quick possession of the hooks, ami then, after an instant's evident reirn l tiiat he had no arm to oiler his mother, stepped from the store door, and turned to hail a horse-car. A fair lace, that hud been turned "teadily toward the two since they .merged from the store, leaned forwacd now into tiie sunshine, ns Annie Ior aine, among the velvet cushions of her phaeton, followed with her brown, at tentive eyes the movements of mother and son. " Amusing, watching the crowd some times," remarked an elegant young man at her side, reconciling himself with what grace he could to Miss Loraine's inattention. " Yes," she answered, almost inuudi hly. The next nioniont, with a sharp cry, she had sprung from the violet cushions and was foremost in the gathering crowd. Bewildered, and for once shaken out of his boasted repose of manner, Percy Dudley followed her. An used woman, her beautifully silvery bairdishevoled, herbUek dress covered with dust, had just been ifted from the ground by a burly policeman, and was instantly claimed by a young man. "Will some one call a carriage'!'" cried Lynn Maples, his mother lying sense less across his breast. "Tnko mine! pray, tnke mine!'' the astonished Dudley heard Miss Lorainc saying. Lut oclore he could get h s breath, he was shouldered one side by Lynn, who had accepted Miss Loraine's offer without a thought, and was only anx ious to get his mother to a place of safety. He laid her in the deep seat, and sup ported her with one arm, while Miss l.orainn put' the lines into his other hand. " Turn down this side street quick out of the crowd," she said ; "and leave the phaeton at the St. James hotel lor Miss Iiraine." "The burly policeman had finished placing his paeknges and bundles about his feet, and mechanically Lynn MaplcB obeyed the mandate given him by the silvery voicoand weei brown eyes. Th'? pretty putiies Imie hi in quickly ii'om the scene, ard through several niet stsvi Is to his home. By this time Mrs. Maples had regained onsciousness, and could descend from lie vehicle with his assistance, though much shaken. In stepping from the si. Ii walk to take a horse-car, tiie liad been interrupted by the passing of a carriage, and stepped back beneath the horses of another.

Though six-and-twenty. his mother had hitherto been the sole lady of his love, and she was a little surprised to h. ar him exclaim suddenly, out of a reverie, Ihe next day: " Wasn't she boautilul?" " Who, Lynn?" "The young lady who offered uie her carriage." "You forget, dear," placidly, over her knitting. "I did not see her." " I wonder who she is?" And Lynn continued to wonder. Hi had left the phaeton at the St. James hotel, and the proprietor bad assured lim that all would be right. Appar ently the episode had closed. On the contrary, Annie Joraine, a re markably independent young lady for one ot but twenty years of age, had taken pains to inform herself that Mrs. Maples was not seriously injured. She asked a hundred questions of her informant who chanced to know the Maples and learned that tht y were .in moderate ircumsiimces ; perfectly re spectable; tliat they lived in a flat in Motel Dighton; that Lynn was a dry goods clerk, ami supported his mother and a young si.-ter. Percy Dudley stood by chafing. " It seems to me you are very much interested in that fellow, Annie!" he exclaimed, at last. "I am, I think," she answered, care lessly. Dudley looked at her from under n frowning brow. He. Percy Dudley, the irresistible, the best match ol the season, had paid this girl the most unmistakable intentions for four months without the slightest sign of having made but the most ordinary impression upon her. Yet lie continued his suit, since there was not another girl worth one hundred thousand dollars in his set, nor any where that lie knew of, to be had. His jealous ejP9 observed that in driving with Miss Lorainc, they never passed the store where Lynn was em ployed without turning her glance toward the entrance; and once, when lie chanced to he tilling a lady's car riage with bundles, she bowed to him, with a faint Hush upon her lily face. From that moment Dudley hated Lynn. Though he did not for a moment entertain the thought that Miss Lorainc gave him more than a passing approval, and he could see that the young man had something noble and attractive in his air, he was jealous even of her mere respec t for him. Jl was mi re ace id i lit lli:.l tin' two met again and again during the winter, at church, at a fair, in a picture gallery, where Miss Ioraine offered Lynn the sweetest courtesy, but it infuriated Dudley. "Curse the fellow! I'll make him cut his own throat before long!" he mut tered. He caught Lynn out, and obtained nn introduction. It was in a concert roo:u . -Cood many ladies present. By the way, there is Miss Annie Ixiraine in front. Do you know her, Mr. Maples?" -I have the pleasure slightly," re plied Lynn, a Hush coming into his frank, blonde face. "Pretty, eh?" "Very beautiful, I think. Do you know where she resides, Mr. Dudley?" "What, don't know? Oh. up town somewhere!" answered the other, catch ing at a sudden thought. "So you .loiVt know mu h about her circum stances?'' "No. Do you?" " Something," carelessly. " She's :n orphan. Lives witli an aunt. By tin way, my dear sir. she seems to know you better than you do her." "She did me a favor last fall, on tie occasion of an accident." "Ah! Well, it seems that on that oc casion you took the young lady's fancy In short, she fell in love with you." "With me?" stammered Lynn, blush ing furiously. "Iain not worthy th honor." "There is no account in tr for women': fancy," burst forth Dudley, savagely. Lynn was too bewildered to notic the sneer. "You are a friend of hers?" lieaskul "Ob. yes an old, and intimate one She's an odd girl given toimaeeout.t.'i ble fancies, you know. Oh. yes. I knon her well! And my advi e to you is te strike while the iron is hot. and ofl'i i yourself to Miss Lornine that is, it's, inclined yourself." "I I admire her very much!" stam mered Lynn, trembling with agitation " Yes, certainly ; I understand. Well, she's goinsr South next week; but she'll be at the Parker Fraternity to-morrow evening. You'd better see her there, and make a sure thing of it. I'll givt Toll niv word she'll accept you." ' Thank yon! thank you!" murmur. ' Lynn, the lights swimming before bU eyes, and the music fading on his ears. He eared no longer for the latter, lb got ::way out of the hall, and spent a restless night, full of excitement and the most exalted emotion. For the first time he knew that lie loved the lily faced, brown-eyed 'girl. The next night found him at the musi cal enurt linnieiit of the Parker Fra ternity, lb' was foolish, perhaps, bn: no! more sotbaii a score of other young fi'liows in h.vc. But a n ore Ion. -t. fervent fellow mvir trembled at the touch of a woman's band. " You are as fond of music as I am. j Mr. Maples," she said, with a sweet cordi'.i'uy of manner which made her ir- J rmMible to all nun who lookf d at l' r " May I ch oi l you home, Mi-.s. l,or raiin ?

"My fervent love would net have given me courage to do bo, Miss Iaii--aine; but an old friend of yours one who claimed to know you well- assured in e that v u were not quite indifjer ent " His voice failed him. " Who was this friend, Mr. Maples? ' "Mr. Dudley." He s-iw her eye- tlisl:. K!ic stoppul it the foot of a flight of marble steps. " I am at home now.

He sat loll ng in a i ''ii-sy-i h.tir. oiiijing, complaisant, yet with a tlu.slic! f.i.-e and covert sparkle in bis eye. Miss Ixiraine rose from the sofa, a n: advanced cordially to her visitor, olb r ng her jew: led hand. "You have come promptly for your mswer, Mr. Maples," she said, " and 1 will be prompt with you. I accept your oiler of n arriag", and give you, in tin very acceptance, my most sincere atl'ee lion.
