Don't be distressed, mjss ; all will be right-for if Miss Nellie here finds herself unable to walk, I shall do myself the honor of carrying her replied the stran ger, bowing smilingly. But Nellie crimsoned again at the thought of such 4 mode of traveling, and half-amused, half vexed at his words, replied laugh ingly: Thanks- hot I am quite able to walk I It was the fright, more than the hurt, that affected me. Don't look so anxious, Minnie dear. I assure yea I am quite equal to the effort, and I believe I oonld walk doable the distance, if necessary.1 ;..
