nice as might be seen and heard here; so completely servants ‘ at their wits' end; neVer were Quiet, businessâ€"like neighbors so completely and utterly shocked and astonished before as they were by the freaks of Undge Lawless's heiress. Well nam- , never since the plagues of Egypt, Was the earth afâ€" flicted with a more lawless little hur- ricane that the hot-headed, laughter- loving, mischief making heiress in question. Very charming, withal, ind bewilderingly-beautiful Was Pet ; round. who w his whiskers and moustaches for one glance from her “bonnie black e’e." But Pet didn’t care a snap for all the young men in America, except, perhaps, Ray Germaine; and she flirted away unmercifully; turned countless heads, and had more sigh- ing swains at her feet than all the other belles of J udestown put to- gather. Pet Was naturally clever, bright and talented, and could have pro- gressed Wonderfully in her studies if she had chosen; but she didn’t choose and followed her own secret will about learning, in spite of all the lectures, entreaties, and persuasions, of her tutor, and angry outbursts of her father. Therefore, at eigh- teen, she could play a. little, draw a little-her talents in this reSpect were shiefly confined to caricatureâ€"sing a good deal, talk more than she could I gentlenlan, sing, and was still aware that Eng- lish grammar Was a little book with a gray cover. At first Mr. Garnet, her teacher, had insisted upon her applying herself; but seeing that Pet only listened very dutifully and then did as she liked after, he gave it up, and allowed her now pretty much to do as she liked. Pet had from the first conceiveda strong dislike to this gentlemanâ€" a . increased every day. as his were dislike that This Was the more surprising, tonduct. morals, and manners, irreproachable, and he was an im- mense favorite with the judge and everybody else. In person he was a. tall, light-haired, gray-eyed, effemin- ate-lpoking young man; easy and courteous in manner, polished in ad- dress, a finished scholar, andâ€"strict Christian. But Pet’s keen gaze had detected the concealed cunning in the eye; the sardonic smile, the unscrupâ€" ulous look the face sometimes wore; ”â€"- . , , . ‘ . the hard, crafty, cruel expressmn of the mouth. Therefore, all his virtue .Was to her hypocl‘iSY; his goodness, a mask for evil designs; his politeness, a. cloak for covert wickedness. Pet I disliked him, and took no pains to conceal it. And Pet had read his character aright; he had been a young man of fortuneâ€"he was a ruined dcbauchee, reduced to this by excesses. At first he had looked upon his scholar as a forgetting her pest and plague; but his feelings changed. bition began to cater his heart. W " , he thought, if he could win this peer- less beauty, this wealthy heiress to be his wife. His fallen fortunes would be retrieved, and his pride and pas- sionlgratifie‘d by possessing her. Con- cooling his schemes, he wound himâ€" self around the heart of the judge, ' 8 his bosom-friend and knew Pet disliked him confidant. He because she but he though this was I I room for suspicion!" ea: ing at him with a coo “You seem in unusually good spir- its to-day, Miss Lawlessâ€"may I ask the cause?" “Yes; I’ve got a and he’s coming home in a month or so! Tra. la, la, la, la, la, In." And Pet went on waltzing around the room. A cloud ttled for a moment on the bland ace of the gentleman, and his small eyes shot a sharp, jealous gleam at the bewildering figure float- ing dimly over the carpet. It van- ished, however, as quickly as it came. as he said, in a tone of as- sumed carelessness, "Ah !And who is Ray, Miss Petronilla?" “Why, you know well enough." said Pet, impatiently, “Ray Ger- maineâ€"you saw him when he Was here last.” “Bless me! letter from Ray, Yes, I had forgotten; but you remember that was three years ago, Miss Lawless, so I may be pardoned for not reCOllecting him. If I took as much interest in him as you seem to do,my memory Would doubtless be better.” "I expect you Would," said Pet. “I have a faint idea that I Would have some troubleâ€"if not more -â€"in forgetting Ray Germaine. Don’t be- lieve he would approve of my doing so at all, either." “I did not think Miss Lawless car- ed for the approval .or disapproval of any one in the world," insinuated the with one of his bland smiles and needlelike glances. “We’ll see what thought done! That proves, warnet,” said the elf, mockingly, how careful the general run of mankind should be in trust- ing their thoughts, since even gen- tleman so near perfection as your- self can be deceived.” “Then you do care for the approv- al of this fellow Germaine," said the tutor, trying to hide a dark scowl. "This fellow Germaine? Well, there’s a nice way for a young lady's tutor to talk of her friends. I'd pre- fer to hear him called Mister Gerr maine, sir, if it's all the same to you," said Pet, drawing herself up. “Oh, very well,” said Garnet,with a curling lip,“only he is a. pauper, educated by your uncleâ€"" "It is false! It is a. foul slander ?, Ilfiy Germaine is no pauper; and if' you ever again, I shall have you turned outi c the house! Take care how yOu talk, Mr. Rozzel Garnet! It’s tread- ing on dangerous ground to slight my friends before me!” “Ten thousand pardons, Miss Law- less, for my offense. Believe me, I had not the remotest intention of‘ slighting your excellent friend, Mr. Germaine. You and he were very intimate, I presume?” “Thick as pickpockcts," said Pet, momentary anger. "Heigho! I wish he was here." “That's a very flattering speech, Miss Lawless, said Garnet. biting his lip, ' dare to say such a thing- “and a very sweeping assertion. Are there no exceptions “but him?" “Not that I've ever met. I dare say there may be one or two in the world: but I haven't come across them.” “Miss Pctâ€"I have something to say to you." “Well, fire aWay." said Pet comâ€" posedly, turning round and stand- ing with her back to the door. But for once in his life. his cus- tomary assurance seemed to fail him. A slight crimson flushed to his face, and his eyes for an instant fell. "Mr. Garnet, I desired you to fire aWay, which, translated from the orâ€" iginal Greek, means, go ahead. and say whatever you want to. No need to be bashful about it, seein' it's only me." The flush on Mr. Garnet's cheek deepened as he said: “Perhaps, Miss Petronilla, am about to say may be unexpected, but it can hardly take you by sur- prise.

Mr. Garnet, excuse me, I never thought of it before; I see it all now. Just begin at the beginning again, I'll go through with it."
