hfice somewhat after this fashion tose and fell my thoughts that morn ing as i sat on one of tho iroti s*eals , which lie asleep and enchanted in the gay noisy heart of saratoga the oaks and pines folded tho walks in heavy shadows the stillness and beauty must it seenied/beguilo any heart info calm and gladness :.? the grass moved by the s.oft wiridsy ( stretched like a lake of dark waters below us the walks skirted and stretched and curved on every side the strong bracing gcerit of the pines inspired the air over all this the birds sang in the august mornings and as i eat there a young girl in a pretty barred muslin and straw hat leading alittle child with a face like some picture marvellous for beauty came slowly ar^ng and took a seat a short diswnce from my own ?! ■, this young girl of hardly,medium height had a face remarkably pleas ing i know the more i looked at it the more it attracted me it had no wonderful gift of beauty but it had the charm of youth and sweet fresh ness the clear dark eyes the bright lips the little touch df color in the cheeks all madeit a'■■delight to look uj-)on i thought a.t.fi.rst this girl must be the mother of the beautiful child with the curls-that hung golden about its head with its eyes like harebells and its g'malf red blossom of a mouth , bdt 1 did hbt think this long there was no faint resemblance between the two faces and as i sat there":.my cu riosity was'stimulated to define what sort of a relation existed between the girl arid the child the latter bfe a white dress with a heavy bhib.silk sash and tk'ef'e was something about all its pretty lively moveti^nts which indicated care and cultivation you would have discerned beyond a pos sibility of mistake,,t-hat this child bad ; dwelt in an atmosphere of wealth and :, ; . ; the girl's appearance indicated this in some lesser degree she was re moved as far as possible from any coarseness of face and manner but she lacked income sdbtle vvay the air of the belles who hourly swept the walk there was a singular absence too of display in her simple white dress and the only ornament she wore was the pretty while coral brooch which clasped the frill at her neck still,.in the vast hotels yonder thef'e were fayj faces which had it ; finer charm than this one which sat so near nie that summer morning something was t work in this girl's soul—t-saw that in / a little while—some expectation some pleas ure some unrest she glanced about her on right arid left with a little half indrawn breath with a smile that came and vanished sometimes i fan cied in a quick fleeting shadow of doubt or uneasiness v ' ' '- ■| . sha frolicked with the child who seemed wonderfully attached to her they had little romps together up and down tile shadowy walk and oh it was a pleasant thing—so pleasant that the silvery mirth seems to echo in my memory still tbe laughter of this young gfrl ami this little e^ilcf starting out and breaking down and bubbling over together at.last a little tired with tfieir pret ty romping they came and sat down on the bench togetner and a mo ment later the girl's face flushed into a hf pleased consciousness that was pretty to see and following the swift l withdrawn glance of her eyes 1 saw a gentleman approaching us after the manner of men he avas eer tain'ly this he wore the finest of broadcloth arid there was about fiim that air ot quiet well bred assurance which indicated at once that he was familiar with the world—a man who would not be likely to lose his self possession under any circumstances he looked a little beyond his thirties and had a face that i suppose women who are fond of that term would have called distinguished t6e features were all well jn'ou'lded but somo subtle expression in which eyes and mouth held frheir : part made me i dfstrndt this man he approached 1 the young girl with an eager regard f 6f manner which no ono could fail to f observe offered her his hand witn a > smile which i have no doubt had fas > cinated many a maiden agnes he said i have been i '•••', . from the,tiady'9 friend for deceniber ■■-..'•;

hfice somewhat after this fashion tose and fell my thoughts that morn ing as i sat on one of tho iroti s*eals , which lie asleep and enchanted in the gay noisy heart of saratoga the oaks and pines folded tho walks in heavy shadows the stillness and beauty must it seenied/beguilo any heart info calm and gladness :.? the grass moved by the s.oft wiridsy ( stretched like a lake of dark waters below us the walks skirted and stretched and curved on every side the strong bracing gcerit of the pines inspired the air over all this the birds sang in the august mornings and as i eat there a young girl in a pretty barred muslin and straw hat leading alittle child with a face like some picture marvellous for beauty came slowly ar^ng and took a seat a short diswnce from my own ?! ■, this young girl of hardly,medium height had a face remarkably pleas ing i know the more i looked at it the more it attracted me it had no wonderful gift of beauty but it had the charm of youth and sweet fresh ness the clear dark eyes the bright lips the little touch df color in the cheeks all madeit a'■■delight to look uj-)on i thought a.t.fi.rst this girl must be the mother of the beautiful child with the curls-that hung golden about its head with its eyes like harebells and its g'malf red blossom of a mouth , bdt 1 did hbt think this long there was no faint resemblance between the two faces and as i sat there":.my cu riosity was'stimulated to define what sort of a relation existed between the girl arid the child the latter bfe a white dress with a heavy bhib.silk sash and tk'ef'e was something about all its pretty lively moveti^nts which indicated care and cultivation you would have discerned beyond a pos sibility of mistake,,t-hat this child bad ; dwelt in an atmosphere of wealth and :, ; . ; the girl's appearance indicated this in some lesser degree she was re moved as far as possible from any coarseness of face and manner but she lacked income sdbtle vvay the air of the belles who hourly swept the walk there was a singular absence too of display in her simple white dress and the only ornament she wore was the pretty while coral brooch which clasped the frill at her neck still,.in the vast hotels yonder thef'e were fayj faces which had it ; finer charm than this one which sat so near nie that summer morning something was t work in this girl's soul—t-saw that in / a little while—some expectation some pleas ure some unrest she glanced about her on right arid left with a little half indrawn breath with a smile that came and vanished sometimes i fan cied in a quick fleeting shadow of doubt or uneasiness v ' ' '- ■| . sha frolicked with the child who seemed wonderfully attached to her they had little romps together up and down tile shadowy walk and oh it was a pleasant thing—so pleasant that the silvery mirth seems to echo in my memory still tbe laughter of this young gfrl ami this little e^ilcf starting out and breaking down and bubbling over together at.last a little tired with tfieir pret ty romping they came and sat down on the bench togetner and a mo ment later the girl's face flushed into a hf pleased consciousness that was pretty to see and following the swift l withdrawn glance of her eyes 1 saw a gentleman approaching us after the manner of men he avas eer tain'ly this he wore the finest of broadcloth arid there was about fiim that air ot quiet well bred assurance which indicated at once that he was familiar with the world—a man who would not be likely to lose his self possession under any circumstances he looked a little beyond his thirties and had a face that i suppose women who are fond of that term would have called distinguished t6e features were all well jn'ou'lded but somo subtle expression in which eyes and mouth held frheir : part made me i dfstrndt this man he approached 1 the young girl with an eager regard f 6f manner which no ono could fail to f observe offered her his hand witn a > smile which i have no doubt had fas > cinated many a maiden agnes he said i have been i '•••', . from the,tiady'9 friend for deceniber ■■-..'•;
