And Mr. lliymond Abbott "walked
iu" accordingly,
"I beg your pardon, Miss (joorgic,"
said he, rather blandly. "I didn't know
I should disturb you."
"tih, you're not disturbing mo at nil,"
said Oeorgie, serenely, resting one dim-pie-dotted,
rosy elbow on the washboard,
and looking at him like a practicalized
copy of one ol Guido's angels, out of a
cloud of soapy steam.
' Hot," he went on, "I was going to
:isk one of the servants for a basket to
brine fish hoino in,"
"I will get it for you with pleasure,"
said Genr.jie.
And as she turned to tho dresser, her
sifter aesworcd the puzzled expression of
Mr. Abbott's face.
"You arc surprised to see Geni'Vic
doing that?" said she, with a gesture
toward the plebeian tub. ' And I klon't
wonder. IS il ii's only for n frolic a

Mr. Abbott, wistfully. ' Two can man

Oeorgie was "cooling off," under the
shadow of the frost grapevines in the
woods, with a bonk in her hand, and
the curly locks blown back from her
pretty Spanish forehead.

"Hit I aoi only a w irkiog-girl," siid

"My own love, you are rich in all thnt

O d lady Jones borrowed Mr? IS own's
receipt for making watermelon pickle
the other day, and being bard of hear

she got her grand-boy, Jakie, to peruse
it for her. Jakie took the paper like a

" Take n green watermelon "
"Why, Jakie ain't you mistaken ; I

"0, what's tho mutter wi I you; j-w-ever

"Out the watermelon into four

"Well, 1 don't halve to. I! it nny
