Ee n oe rern e Soul h2 "Maude will never marry him, 1 hope," he thought, and when she brought to him the letter from Jumes De Vere, the noble little felâ€" low conquered his own feelings, and ~with a hopeful heart as to the reâ€" suls of that summer‘s teaching, he bade her go. So it was all arrangâ€" fl; and the next letter which went Mm Maude to J. C. carried the inâ€" telligence that his betrothed _ was going "to turn country schoolâ€" Smy chilâ€"l,‘" as tenderly â€"as if did indsed bear that relation Six happy weeks Maude had been r teacher, and though she knew J. C. did not approve her plan, she was more than repaid for his disâ€" pleasure by the words of encourageâ€" meat which James always had in store for her. Many times had she been to the handsome home of the De.

Her brother evinced no particular deâ€" sire to have his stepdaughter at teme, and she detvermined to keep her as long as there was the slightâ€" Esf chanee of winning J. U. Ds Vere. He was now a regular visiâ€" tor at her house, and, lest he shou‘d .pe':t her design, she spoke often 1 respectfully of Maude, whose eause sho seemed to have espoused, and when he came to her with the news of her teaching, she sympaâ€" thized with him at once. "It would be very mortifying," Sh> said, ‘"‘to marty a district schoolmistress, though there was some comfort in knowing that his friends were as yet ignorant of the engagement. ‘ & Let them remain so & while lonâ€" ger"‘ vas the hasty answer of J.

Mis. Kelsey was secretly delightâ€" "I regret,""‘ said he, ‘"‘that we live so far from the schoolhouse as to .der it impossible for you to rd with us. You might ride, I ruppose, and I would cheerfully catry you every day; but, on the whole, I think you had better stop with Mrs. Johnson." .: you your bridal outft. May I, Maude? And if you do not like to stay with Dr. Kennedy, come to Hampton this summer and live with us, will you Maude?! I want you ch;@and in the musical W# of his voice there was a deep hos which brought the tears in rrents from Maude‘s eyes, while e declined the generous offer she fould not accept. Just then. Dr. Kennedy appearâ€" ad, he was ready to go, he said, and bidding Mr. De Vere goodâ€"bye, Maude was soon on her way home, her spirits lighter and her heart happier for that chance meeting at the Hotel. One week later Mr. De Were wrote bher, saying that if she sti‘l wished to teach, she could Rkave the school at Hampton. He had seen the trustees, had agreed upoun the price, and had even seâ€" {)ecto}d her a boarding place near y. Inr an instant James .De Vere‘s hand was on his purse, but ere he drew it forth he reflected that to aBker money then might possibly be ent of place, so he said, "I have no sister, no girlâ€"cousin, no wife, and more money than I can use, and when the right time comes noâ€" tliang can please me more than to Maude De Vere; CHAPTER XII.â€"â€"(Cont‘d) CHAPTER XI(L.

So quietly she slept that she did nct hear the roll of wheels, nor the sound of merry voices, as the party from the city rode by on their way to the depot. Neither, half an hour later, did she hear the hasty footâ€" step which crossed the threshold of tue door ; but when a hand was laid upon herâ€" shoulder, and a wellâ€" kncwn voice bade her awake, she started up, and saw before her James De Vere. He had been to her boardingâ€"place, he said, and not finding her there, had sought her in the schoolhouse. "I have two letters for you," he continued, "one from your brother, awd one frowm J.. C "Brom J. C.!V*‘ she repeated: ‘‘Has he gone back!? Why didn‘t he call on me?‘ ‘He‘s a villain,‘‘ thought James De Vere. but he answered simply, Maude‘s heart was already full, and at this little act of sympathy, she burst into tears, while James, drawing her to his side, and resting ker head upon his bosom, soothed her as he would have done had she been his only sister. He fancied that he knew the cause of her grief and his heart swelled with indignaâ€" tieon toward J. C., who had that day shown himself unworthy of a #i~l like Maude. He had come to "he had unot time, and so wrote you irstead,"" and sitting down beside her, he regarded her with a look in which pity, admiration, and love were all blended. ‘"Your head aches, don‘t it, Maude!?‘ But she looked in vain,. and with a feeling of disappointment she disâ€" missed her school, and glad to be alone, laid her head upon the desk, falling ere long asleep, for the day Matters were in "this condition when J. C. came one day to Hampâ€" ton, accompanied by some city friends, among whom were a few young ladies of the Kelsey order. Maude saw them as they passed the schoolhouse in the village omnibus ; saw, too, how resolutely J. C.‘s head was turned away, as if afraid tkeir eyes would meet. ‘He wishes to show his resentâ€" ment, but of course he‘ll visit me ere he returns,""‘ she thought. And many times that day she cast her eyes in the direction of Hampton Fark, as the De Vere residence was often called. her James De Vere was one of the trustees, and in that capacity he visited the school so often, that the wise villagers shook their heads significantly, saying, ‘"if he were any other man they should think the rights of J.

He knew J. C. was fickle in most matters, but he did not deem it possible that, having loved Maude Remington once, he could cease from loving her; neither did he unâ€" derstand why her eys drooped so oft beneath his gaze, or why the color always despened on her cheek when he was near. â€" Maude, too, was waking up, and the schoolhouse witnessed more than one. frerce struggle between her duty and her inclinat ons; for,. with woman‘s tact, she knew that she was not inâ€" different to James De Vere; but she was plighted to another, and if he bade her keep her word, she weuld do so, even though it broke her heart. The young schoolmistress‘s enâ€" ragement with the fashionable Jedediah was generally known, and thrs were the public blinded to the trve state of affairs. Gradually, James De Vere had learned how dear to him was the darkâ€"eyed girl be ealled his “Co}in Maude.‘" There was no light fike that which shone in her truthful eyesâ€"no muâ€" sic so sweet as the sound of her m The reader who wishes to add frora ten to forty pounds should not fail to begin with this valuable preâ€" seription : People who are very thin and scrawny ought not to be so.

Pray who is she? That schoolmistress we saw in passing!? Really Mr. De Vere, you have been careful not to tell us of this new acquaintance. Where did you pick her up *‘ The disconcerted J.
