WAS IT FAIR OFHIM? A Story ul' Autiiiini I.ove. It is a lovely day in September. The hli-'lit rays of the sun are tempered by a haze that lies over (he sea, while the air i so calm that the flag at the pier has hung luotiuUiesM the whole morning. At the foot of the il ill's, among the boulders, sits a girl sketching a (;irl who, in her pretty pale-tinted dress, relieved by a bunch of poppies at the neck, ami another in the becoming little sailor hat, makes a fair picture herself. She has a sweet, earnest face, framed by curly dark hair that falls softly on the forehead, which is just now prettily puck ered in the earnestness of her task. By her side, stretched to tho full length of bis tall, athletic figure, reclines, an eiiiiilly lair specimen ot the opposite sex, his thoughts apparently far away, judging from the absent look in tho handsome gray eyes which arc looking out to sea, Suddenly ho rouses himself and push ing his hat buck from his broad white brow, turns lazily upon one elbow, and says, penitently : "I am awfully sorry, Miss Gray; you must think mo a very dull companion am sure, but the fact is that from being alone so much while 1 was abroad I havo acquired a very awkward habit of going into uay-urcnuis without regard to tunc or circumstances : so please accept my hum ble apologies;" he concludes, looking plead ingly into his companion a tace. A soil laugh answers his words, and Dora Gray says gently, without raising her eves : 'Pray don't apologise, Mr. Carleton. am afaid I must plead guilty to the weakness of absent-mindedness myself oc casionally; and at the present moment I was so deeply engrossed lu this dithcult piece i.f sky that I had almost forgotten your pretence. "Oh," savs Frank Carleton, blankly, under his breath, while the girl's low, sweet voice resumes, unconscious of the interruption : "I always think that one of the tests of true friendship is being able to be with a person, and cither talk, think or keep si lence, as loug us you choose, without the expectation of giving oliense. "Tests of true, how much?" asks Frank, lazily, flinging a stone seaward ''Friendship," repeats Dora, steadily, though her color rises a little timidly ut Homotliiii'' in tho tone of the micstinniiiL' voice. "Oh," says Frank, resuming his old at titude, "I suppose you go in for that sort ol thing; most yemng ladies do lor time." "I don't know what you mean by ooing in for that sort ol thing, hut certainly believe that there are such peo ple to lie met with as real, sincere friends in every sense of the word." "Naturally enough, at your age, Miss ("ray; lint pardon mo, when you have lived a little longer you will find people are not always what they seem, nor are their protestations of friendship to be de pended upon. "However old I may live to .Dc, buys 1W.1, "I hots' I shall alway have as mm-li faith in li iy fellow-creatures as 1 have now. and I firmly believe it ixiasihlc to meet with those who will, through riches nm Kverty, good report and evil, be stead lust and unchanging triends, and blush ing at her own earnestness, Dora resumes the brush which she had been neglecting for the last few minutes. Frank smiles under his uiout;u he the eirlish outburst, but turns and looks entvelv eniilluh into the challiiing, shy face, and savs. with a sigh : "Ah, child, you don't know what you tire talking about. Just put it to your- self a moment and tell me, do you think you could bo such a fiicmi if need be?" "I do," is the quiet, earnest answer and soiuethini; in the tmto face makes Frank tako tho Tittle bare hand nearest him into his and kiss it reverently. Then leltin it uo, says gently. "I siipwe, Miss Gray, your theory would not allow friendship between two ol opHisite sex r "Certainly it wou'd," replied Dora. never can understand why the regard which may exist between a man and a woman should not be dictated by a feel ing of true, earnest friendship, and, as sticb, be Ir.tnkly shown lK'lore the world I dure say you think me very Iim.INi the sweet, girlish voice concludes, a lit tl hastily, "my sisters at home have ollt laughed at what they called my 'pei uli notions. There is no re plv for a moment, for Frank is looking earnestly over the sea; then ho turns, with an air of having m ule up his mind to something, mid says, quietly : "Dora, will you be such a friend to me?" "The girl's cheek flushes and she turns to meet the expected smile; but the glance which meets her is (jravo and earnest, and the clear gray eye look honestly into hew. There is a momenlary pause: then she lays her pretty fingers gently into the hand outstretched to meet them, and says, steadily: "I will, .Mr. Carleton, as far is it lies in my power, if you wish it." "I do wish it, says 1-runk, concisely, his hand closing firmly rouud the timid little fingers, over which he bends bis iindsome head before releasing, and upon which he imprints a soft kiss to ratify the contract. Tho Drettv white house, nestlim: amomr the dark firs, which are such an addition to the beauty of the coast, near Sand- come, belongs to Mr. Barrington, and he and his pretty wife are never more pleased than when they can induce as many as possible of their numerous friends to visit them and they are particularly happy in the selection ef their guests, and never tired of devising some pleasant plan of amusement Kavouwood House is almost always gay and lively with pleasant laugh ter and merry chatter. Mrs. Harrington was a Miss (!ray, and Dora is her pet sister, so she often stays at Ravcuswood for months to gether. prank Carleton has only I een down Iroin Jiondoii a lortmglit. He is a rising young barrister, with a good private in come of his own; but this has not pre. vented his over-working himself a little ml he has accepted Oscar Harrington s pressing invitation to recruit his strength in the bracing airof Sandcombo. There arc not so many guests as usual at Ravcuswood House just now, so Dora and Frank have been thrown together it good deal; and Mr. Carleton is too fond of tho society of pretty girls not to think it a very charming arrangement alto gether. 1 he day following tho little talk on the beach there is a larco influx of visitors, but Dora finds, to her satisfaction, that in walks or drives Frank seems ever at her side, as usual. One day she laughingly rcmurks tho fact, but he merely says, quietly : I prelcr Iricnils to aeitiaintiinoes, Dora If you are tired already of our bargain, say so; but it is only natural that, under the circumstances, 1 should choose your society rather than that of any one Ise. So the two wander about together con- tcntolly, though not unnoticed, for many are tho glances and little lnucndoos they have to encounter, much to Doras ex pressed disgust, us she freely discusses the the matter with rrank. "It is toe utterly ridiculous," she sayi angrily, as they were one day walking through the wood; "as if wo were bound to be talking a lot of nonsenso about love just because we are alone together. "Ridiculous, indeed, calmly assorts Frank; "wait until Mr. and Mrs. Right appears, and wo go o(I with them respect ively, then these clever people will see the dilterence ch Dora : Dora's heart gave a sudden jump, but she answers in her usual gentle voice though she is rather silent during the re mainder of tho walk. "1 am expecting Miss liruco down here to-morrow, so I wain all those ol voti gentlemen who still possess that useful nr tide, a heart, to guard it well, for Nell is a fascinating pussy. So stud Jlro. Rarrington tit the lunch con table one day; aud to those who knew tho young lady spoken ol the announce ment appeurs to givo universal satisfac tion "Aud who is Miss llruce?" asks Frank of Dora Gray, by whose side he was sit ting. "One ot the loveliest girls voti ever saw in vourlife." nut in Mr. llairington beforo Dora can reply; "and just your style, old man, I should imagine. Frank Carleton looks at Dora, and re peats, in a low voice meant lor her ear ah .lie: "Just my style. Can my late bo ap- iiroaetntiL' a reailv 1 I vrhaps, is the only reply given m equally low tones. "Do you hope it may be so : I don't quite know," said the yonn man gently. "I nave my menu, you know, )ora.

For Frank Carleton's jesting words seem to have come true, and he shows no signs of his evidently a Very tood under standing betweeu them, for it necessitates much low talk and apparent persuasive eloquence on Frank's part; and somehow the Ihoii'ht ot those two will persist obtruding itself on Dora's mind, no mat tor what she is doing. At last matters come to a crisis. Picnic is arranged to be held in sonic woods a few miles inland, and during luncheon on the grass Frank and Nellie are, as usual, together, and the giri is such a merry humiiI that it is evident s' feels very happy. Dora feels more thun ever the foolish uisiliou into which I or girlish ignorance, has led her rospectin Frank, for more than one remark reaches In r, referring in no flattering terms to his conduct. Hut she defends him on every occasion, and in, such a iweet. uncon scions manner, that suspicion is at once disarmed respecting tho state of her heart. Hut her effort to disscmblo her disap- ointment in Frank's sudden avoidance is loo great to-day, and sho manages, after lun.'hcoii, to steal away entirely alone, iu U d ling to sketch a pretty litUo glade she olt n visited, But when the rxcbM the sjo'. tmroly seats heinself on the bank and gives her sclfuptohcr thoughts, and fiercely ar gues out her own unreasonableness, as she terms it. But the process does not teem to be satisfactory, for presently one or two tears force themselvea from between the closed eyelids, and tho girl gives way to a passionate Hood ot tears. iiy degrees the sobs subside, and the soothing effect ot the toft, warm air and ibdued quiet around begin to bo toil, and, leaning her uncovered head against the hard trunk of a tree, she tails last asleep. So fast, indeed, that the sound of ad vancing footsteps does not make an eye quiver; and when Frank Carleton reaches her ho stands tor a moment looking down at the little figure in its attitude of cure less grace with an (xpresskn upon his tace that is not exactly tuithtul to the memory ol Miss Nellie Bruce. Just then Dora stirs a little, and weary little sob bursts from tho pretty parted lips. This is more thun l'rank can bear, and in a moment he was kneel ing beside her, uud the startled girl is taken tenderly into his arm, while the curly head leans for a moment unconsciously against his breast. "What is it where am If murmurs Dora and looks up so quickly that a soil moustache brushes her cheek. "Oh, Mr. Carleton," she stammers, trying to disen gage herself and blushing deeply at the position in which she hndshersell. " I'ora, darling, says 1 rank, earnestly, "what do those tears meun I I ell me dear?" and he holds her so firmly she can scarcely move. "Nothing'' much, falters the girl blush ing again as she recollects their true cause "At least, nothing I could tell you 1" sho concludes, as Frank's gray eyes look into her s as il to read her very heart. "Now, Dora, he savs, reproachfully, "I thought you and I arj.eo 1 always to tell each other our trouble. Do you call tbut looking upon me as your friend t "But L could not possibly tell you, repeats Dora, succeeding iu drawing her self away, and though her heart beat wildly at the tender look upou the hatil-omo face looking into hers. "How is it you are here?" she asks, to ehango the sub ject, "and where is Nellie?" 1 followed you, child, is tho reply. ignoring her latter iiuestion. 1 intend to know the meaning of these pal. cheeks; I have noticed them for the last two or three days, and I want to find out il there is any reason for them.

"Well, I won t tell you yet, he says, more quietly, "but I will let you into a secret that will interest you about Nellie Bruce. What is it child I Are you cold or faint ?" for Dora started and closed her eyes. "Oh, she says, with a smile, "do on Mr. Carleton." "Well," he continues, "it turns out that Miss Nellie was a lew months ago en gaged to one of my most iutimato friends. Harry 'Sylvester, and a rare good fellow he is too, but thty managed to (tuarrel over something and the affair was broken off, though both were as desperately in love as could be. I' happened to hear poor old Hitl s woes at the tunc, and from putting two and two together, and writing a letter or two to Sylvester, I think I havo managed that all will be well again with out any compromise of dignity on cither side. Mrs. Harrington hits asked Harry lown next work, a. id so I told Nellie; lot us liotie wlii-n I hoy meet tliey will see the error of their ways once and for all by, I lorn, how pleased you look; you care to hear about u love altuir alter It isn's that I thought you cared I mean, .ellie eared "Were You jealous?" interrupts Frank passioiiiitcly. "Mora, my own darling, is it possible that you love me alter all?" und he takes the sweet, blushing face betweeu his bund and looks down into it raptur ously. "Do you know, my dear one, I have loved since the first week 1 came here, but you seemed such a sweet, calm little maiden that I despaired of making you eveu think of me, so, darling, may 1 con fess and tell you I fell into your pretty little plan of friendship just to try and see if I could awaken any deeper feeling in that pure little heart." Oh, brink! says Horu, rcproaehlully, lifting her lovely dark eyes to his face, theu dropping them at what she read there, "was that (inito fair ?" "Everything is fair in love and war," replies Frank, fondly kissing the pretty lips softly, with an air of proud possession, "especially when tho stratagem ends in surrender." And Duru leans back her dark head against his shoulder, sighs contentedly and lays nothing. AN IMPORTANT ISSIE. "George," chirruped n pretty girl to the young man who has been keeping compa ny with her for the past year, aud had never plucked up murage enough to pro Hse, George, do you know I am reminded of one of the issues of this campaign every tinio I think of you ?" "No; an? you Clara '"exclaimed the youth, eagerly. "Yes. Can't yon imagine what issue it is, George ?" The foreign policy ? ventured the young man. O. no. Western laud claims? said he, looking down at his feet. Wrong. Try again. Nothing to do with un Independent party ? No, you simpleton. Then I give it up, at lust said he. The main question at present, George, is protection. Do you see? He saw, aud popped the question then and there. "Yes," she said to her escort as they glided around the rink, "I do so love roller skating. While you are sailing arouud your soul seems floating awuy toward Heaven, aud " Just at that moment both of her soula floated away toward Heaven and the rest of her amote the earthly floor with mighty smite.
