A FALL AND A CALL.
llupcrt (iedney was the sort of a man
the fair sex call "beautiful, M much to
the disgust of his fellow-men.
It was a beautiful sunshiny morning'.
The picturesque scenery of Montjoy
never looked more attractire, and (ted
hey walked ,i!on admiring himself in
the brook that flowed ou beside him.
Perhaps it was over-anxiety to i;et a look
at himself diis mind was so intent upon
the impression he was to create ou a cer
tain voting lady that morning that led
him to take that. mis-step. What matter
now what caused him to trip. lb; fell,
and great was the fail! From the i;iory
of an immaculate, elaborate attire to a
pi''s level. For trying to recover his
balance made him wallow iu the mire.
The mud, that Ids sudden weight inadt
fly, seemed to aim at nothing but him.
Lo, what a t ransformatKm was here!
He tried to gaui his feet, when, horror of
horrors! a girlish laugh raug out upon
tncair. One of the fair sex to catch
him iu such a plight! What under
Heaven was he to doi he thought as he
turned slowly around and encountered a
plump, rosy young maiden, in a plain-
fi-ured muslin dres, and her pretty
fresh face --all .confusion now hidden
away in the depth of her broad
brimmed hat. which was pulled down at
1 the side ami tied under the chin.
"1 beg your pardon, sir,"' said the
girl, retreating a few steps wheu Ged
nev turned his face toward her. "In

thought you were a stranger. . I havu
been trying to overtake you for .the las;

"I think I do," answered the girl, in
noeentiy. "A verv tali,- handsome youuij
man. with beautiful dark eyes, lud
black, curly hair."'
Hunert Gtdney winced. Tills praise
of Harrv Miibank did not agree with
him, so.nchovv. Hut. bah 1 he thought,
whv sic';;! !! over jt ' Pwas only the
opinion of a country girl.
"Mr. Milb.ank answer-, sonievvhUjt to
your descriptio!!, " he answered, rather
stiiily; "but t must confess that I do not
see what, there is in him to attract a lady
of Miss Mountjoy's standing.''
"Indeed! 1 do not sec what there is
about Miss Mountjoy to attract such u
handsome young man as Mr. Milbank.
Has he been telling you that she was
handsome'" asked the girl, with au inno
cent air.
"llc telis in ' nothing; but I have
heard it from others. Milbank is of our
111 in, and Colonel Mounljoy often calls
at the ohice--every time he comes to
town, 1 believe. That is hr.v L got an
invitation to come hire. The Colonel
stems to have taken quite a fancy to me.
So .Miss Mountjoy is not the least bit
good-looking? o.v, that is too bad.''
The mud on 'his clothing was pretty
well dried by this time, and Gelney
drew nearer to the young girl.
"Not at all pretty, and awfully proud
w ouldn't think of speaking to you this I
morning as 1 have done."' '
"If Miss Mount j y were only half as j
pretty ami charming as yourself, I would j
surely cut Milbank out,'' said Gedney, I
draw n on by the girl's laughing eyes.
At this speech her frame convulsed '
with laughter.
"( hv do you laugh V he said, his face
coloring. you think I am only jest
ing; I never was more iu earneyest in
my life, 1 asure you.'' ;
'The idea of you thinking me charm- '
iug made me laugh," she answered, still
shaking with laughter. "Fm sure Miss ;
Mountjoy cannot fail to fall iu love with
ii'-'h a -weet gentleman ; but I am alsc
sure that you will never make love to her
wheu you st-,. her. (load morning, sir,

."Cannot I prevail on you to remain
ioiiger; il i- not often one finds such
charming company i I think I will en

"loop- vou -will," aus.verel the girl,
he! eyes dancing.
I'm sure you will, if f can meet you
in mv walk every dav," he said, boldly.
"Von hnji meet me again, if tint

"lean me-v h,r again," said Geduey

It was late that afternoon when Hu

j forth from a hand-bar, presented him-
self at Colonel Mouutjoy s. Tne Colonel,
bei.'ig a lover of company, was always
dclighiel when a new Visitor appeared.
"Glad to see you, glad to see you,"

'I was only passing I must say good

off before the Colonel could reply;, but
as he tie v d vn the steps Miss Mountjoy's
laughter reached his ears.
"Has the fellow taken leave of his
