Or, A Kcliool-Koom Flirtation.
"I'ridc, pride, pride! there you have
Charlotte Ardcn. Mischief, mischief,
mischief! there jou have Lizzie Dane.
Loolc out for them both, Hart! And
now, good by. I'll pray for your euc-
CCS3."
"With this, my friend, by whos. influ
ence 1 was installed in the academy of
Marlboro, as principal, turned to leave
me.
"Waita moment, Mr. .TeffrieF,Msaid ;
"how can I keep "
"Clear of them?" be added with a
sly laugh. "Draw your own inferences.
Handsome young men, with light purses,
must have liijht hearts. When you
catch a glimpse of your pupils you will
understand me. I haven't been a t acher
here for five ycar3 for nothing."
'Thank you! thank yon!"
"With this I gave my friend my hand,
and thus we parted. An hour later I
was seated at my desk, in the pleasantest
school room, looking about mc with no
small degree of interest for the two pu
pils of whom my fnend had spoken, and
wondering in the meantime if his kindly,
well meant caution would not bring mc
at once face to face with the very danger
which he had wished mc to avoid.
Smiling ai my own conceit, and fail
ing to find, in the threescore faces before
me, one that was particularly stamped
with pride, or one that was marked with
mischief, I turned to my books.
Something like a quick whisper broke
through tho stillness oi the room as I
did so. I glanced up. Every counten
ance bore unmistakable signs ot dc
murcncsE. Smiling again at my thoughts,
I turned a second time to my books, and
this time a big apple started from one of
lhe back seats and came rolling down
thVaisle. The incident was slight; but,
taken"in connection with my reflection,
and my 'friend's parting words, it an
noyed me. I picked up the apple, laid
it on the desk, sad glanced in the dircc
. tion from whence it came.
Goodness! what a pair oi blue eyes
jwcro raised to mine at that moment!
Eyes, saucy, daring and almost wicked,
which wavered and brightened like two
beautiful stars. This was Lizzie Dane,
I was quite sure of that; the red mouth
was dimpled about by smiles, and the
white chin quivered with suppressed
merriment.
"A good beginning," I thought; "it
augurs well for the future."
Just then the school room door was
darkened, and, looking up, I saw Char
lotte Arden. My friend's caution was
well. How like a beautilul picture she
was, as she stood there, her fine head,
covered with pretty braids, and perfectly
poised, her figure straight, round and
perfect, brought out by the strong, clear
light. The very fall of the soft, white
robe, as well as of her slender, gaitcrcd
foot, just visible beueath the folds of her
sweeping skirt, was artistic. She stood,
as if hesitating whether or not it was
best for her to enter the school room,
and her manner was calm, quiet and cool.
Miss Lizzie Dane telegraphed to her
witli her sparkling eyes to enter. This
failing to have tho desired effect, she
doubled up her white, chubby hands, and
held them to her mouth, trumpet fash
ion. I suppressed the smile that was
rising to my lips, and turned to Miss
Arden, saying:
"Have you selected a seat?"
"No, sir, I have not," she answered,
without moving forward a single step.
"You may do so now, it you please,"
I said.
She glanced up and down the long
- rows of seats several times, and then
turned to a side desk but a short dis
tance lrom my table.
"This one, sir," she said, raising her
eyes for a single moment to my face, and
then turning them, indifferently, away.
L bowed in approval of her choice,
though, at the same time it did not
please me. I did not care to have her
so near, criticisiug every thing I did,
and I felt sure she would.
At the quarter hour of intermissio
Miss Arden and Miss Dane passed the
time in pacing, arm in arm, back and
iorth on the blank space of floor bttore
my desk. I could have wished, and did
wish, that they had chosen any other
promenade, but not knowing how to
help myself, unless I sent them out of
doors to play, like two little children in
pinafores, 1 raised the lid ot my desk
between their faces and mine, and pre
tended to be engag d in setting my
books and papers to rights.
Children in pinafores! I smiled grimly
to myself as tho audacious thought
entered my head. Children they both
were, I said to myself, unceremoniously
thrusting my head above the temporary
screen to confirm my opinion by a good
look at them a proceeding which made
Miss Lizzie toss her curly head in a dis
concerted attempt at carelessness, and
brought a dash of exquisite color to the
one velvet check of her companion's
face which was revealed to me.
"And as for pinafores," I said, sulkily
continuing my soliloquy, and drawing
in my head again like a turtle, "I'm sure
they'd be vastly more appropriate and
becoming than that little pinked and
scalloped and puckered affair of plaid
silk which Miss Lizzie wore under the
dignified name of apron."
Such sancy little pockets, fixed off
with gimp and things- the corner of a?;
tiny note and the promo ot a ds, yel
low orange revealed frooa the dittended
mouth of one, and the lace edge of a
' handkerchief, with a captivating rent in
it, hanging janntly from the other; such
wicked, knowing tassels, such lengths
of variegated silk cord round, round and
round her pretty waist, as though once
started it had lost ita way, and had bees
traveling in a circle ever since, instead
straight again, a3 it could have that
charming route to travel round and
round, and I bgan to wonder.
"He's splendid, Lot; isn't hcP
Bliss Dane's voice broke my wonder
ing. I was modest in those days and
blushed easily. My wife told me so
yesterday, referring to that morning that
the tip of my ear, juEt visible at the
edge of my desk lid, grew red as a coal,
and that her friend threw a lozenge at it
and missed it by the sixteenth of an
inch. I wasn't aware of the circum
stance before.
"Say, Lot, don't you think he's splen
did?" came that loud whisper again.
"If I do, I don't intend to tell him of
it," she retorted.
Evidently, however much averse she
would have been to informing me on
such a point, she was nothing loath for
mc to judge of her musical powers, for
she burst forth into a merry toug and
warbled like a bird in fact, like twenty
birds. "Whether my ear looked like ii
coal or not, it drank in that gay melody,
and, when it ceased, longed for more.
"What eyes he has!"
"Rnther too deep-set for beauty."
"Deep set, indeed! They are pro
truding as a cow's, and as big."
"Mere difference of opinion, my love.
Don't let us quarrel."
"No. Then, how much character
there is in his nose."
"Decidedly.'"
I had a large nose, reader.
"Room for more "
I started her there by dropping a
book. I was actually

al-
most immediately, and went on, in a
still louder tone:
"How do you think he will answer?"
"Answer?"
Miss Arden spoke inquiringly, in a
puzzled voice:
"You speak as if you thought I in
tended to propose to him."
4 "And so, I daresay, you will, it being
leap year, and you so smitten."
A merry laugh followed this sa'ly.
"In that case I think he would answer
in the affirmative."
"0! you conceited creature, Lot Ar
den!" "Hush! What if Mr. Eldridge should
overhear us?"
As if I hadn't overheard them.
"Who cares if he docs? iVa nothing
to him."
Nothing to inc! to sit there and hear
myself discussed in that way. O, nothing
at all!
"But, seriously, what do you mean?"
"Why, have you forgotten that I
prophesied a flirtation? I mean how do
you think he would do for that?"
Ah ! a flirtation ! Maybe I didn't hold
my breath for fear of losing the answer,
and then maybe
"O, passibly, if he understands his
place and stays in it. I hate presuming
men."
"Men! Boys!"
"Well, boys, then.
3Icu in assurance,
boys in intelligence, are what we
have
nowadays."
She spoke as if she had lived in the
age of her grandmother. I clenched
my hands, and declined Jupiter under
m7 breath in Latin.
"Do you think you will bring him
around?"
"For shame. I'm sure I have no such
design on his peace."
"Now, really, I am aching to know
what you intend to do. Shall you flirt
with him?"
My intentions were not consulted, but
I made them, nevertheless, biting my
finger nails viciously all the time.
"Ob, no matter."
"You're too bad. I got you apart
from the other girls en purpose to have
a confidential chat, and here the time
is almost up, and you haven't told me a
thing."
"Well, I will now two things. Your
hair is twisted out of your net, and your
collar is shockingly tumbled."
"Bother my collar! Shall you flirt
with him? I wouldn't mind, only that
hateful Sue Liscomb vows she'll get
ahead of you, and I don't want to see
her win. Nov, do tell mc!"
I thrust my head up again and looked
at them. They were not minding mc
in the least, though they had stopped
directly in front of mc. Lizzie looked
flushed and anxious, Miss Arden cool
and self possessed.
I laid my hand upon the bell and gave
it a violent ringing. The two girls
stared like culprits, and glanced hurri
edly up at me. What they s xw in my
face I can't say, but they both colored.
Just then they separated for their seats
but not before I heard L:zzic whisper
desperately, "Shall you?"
"I shall!" floated back tie reply, low
and firm, as if determined not to be
mistaken.
Should she? We'd sec.
That afternoon, whiic I was engaged
with the French grammar class, I was
startled by a sharp little scream, and by
Lizzie Dane springing up and crying
out:
"O! a hornet has bitten Charlotte
.Arden, Mr. Eldridge."
f The whole school tittered. I scowled
very pedagoguely (to coin a word), and
commanded her to resume her seat.
Lizzie flounced into her seat, very red
in the face, and I saw Miss Arden put a
book to her face to conceal a smile.
After school I west to her and in
quired politely for her arm. She showed
me her round, dainty wrist, with a large,
discolored swelling marring its sweet
ness. "Good heavens!" I eiclaimed, forget
ting myscl, "how it must have named
you! WhV didn't you go homt? I
would have vcuscd you."
She smilcdrand looked amubed. That
smile recalled pe to myself.
"Oh, it's ntthiog. It was slightly
painful at firsf but I was not child
enough to rmi home for so flight a
hurt."
Iu spite of my tfnger at her, I envied
the very words thd slipped through her
red, haughty lipX :tIIatl she already
begun her arts?" lacked myself. If that
simplicity of look ani frankness of voice
were art, why, confound nature. Well,
I walked home wiih her. carrvinrr her
satchel of books';
My excuse was her
arm. As if sHfhi

couldn't, by anypossibility, have carried
her books on tKe other. O, the day that
followed ! O, the days that followed
and the week3, and the months! MiEs
Arden wanted to flirt, and we flirted!
Miss Arden wanted mc to make love
to her, and I did it. Of course, I had
no further exposition of her wishes on
the point than the overheard conversa
tion of the first day; hut that was
enough. I took the part assigned to
mo to play, and played it with all my
heart and soul.
I had the satisfaction of knowing,
as I stood by one of the long windows at
the close of the last day, watching the
scholars file out, that the whole village
was alive with the rumor that my beau
tiful pupil and myself were engaged.
Charlotte Arden lingered behind the
others as if wishing to speak to me.
The coquette had her last snare set, I
thought, bitterly.
"I I stopped to bid you good-bye,"
she said, falteringly, as I approached
her. How the proud face was humbled
by its blushing.
"And to to give you this."
She held out a white rose a withered
white rose. It was one I had begged
from her hair, the night before at a
party, and she had refused it.
"Thank you. It will be a cherished
souvenir."
I spoke derisively, for all the bad
blood in my heart was aroused by her
crowning artifice. The words were
scornful, but they were true, in spite of
mc. She looked up with a shocked,
expression, and made a half angry mo
tion to snatch the flower from my hand.
"We have had a very pleasant flirta
tion have we not, Miss Arden?"
Her face grew deadly white, tiien fiery
red.
"Flirtation!" she faltered.
"Yes. This will remind me of it when
I am far away."
I saw the mighty pride that struggled
in herface.
"I don't quite understand you, sir,"
she said, with dignity.
"I refer you for an explanation of my
words to the conversation you held with
Miss Dane about the first day of the
term."
She looked puzzled.
"I did not have any,'" she replied after
a moment's hesitation.
"About flirting." I suggested to
prompt her memory. "You were to win
mc away from Sue Liscomb, I think."
She leaned her head on her hand a
moment, wondering and confused; then
she lilted it and broke into a merry
laugh.
"What an absurd mistake ! And you
overheard us, and have been laboring
under that impression $11 these months?
O ! Mr. Eldridge, how could you?"
And as though some sudden recollec
tion well nigh maddened her, she hid
her face In her hands and broke into a
choking tempest of tears.
"What is it, Charlotte?" I inquired,
softening in an instant, and feeling that
I had been acting like a miserable
fool.
4Wc were not talking of you at all,
sir," and the hot, blinding tears flowed
afresh.
'"Not talking of mc ! It was all my
own insufferable conceit, then! What
an-"
"Idiot," I said aloud, and "monkey,"
under my breath.
She drew up her head a moment later,
and would have left me, but but
Pshaw! The scene won't bear re
hearsing. Charlotte Arden is my wife
now.

Some weeks ago a copper-colored indi
vidual went to Davenport and opened an
office, advertising himself as Dr. Josiah
Rogers. On the 21st of November, a
stranger named John Wilkinson, from
Mcnmoutn, Illinois, arrived in the city,
and meeting Dr. Roger, hailed him
with "Halloo, Joe." The toctor dodgrd
into a saloon, and Wilkinson followed,
took a good look at the Indian, and said,
"I know you." He went out, and meet
ing officer Marten?, told hinf he wanted
to talk with the Indias doctor in the
presence of a white man. The two then
went into the saloon. There the stranger
confronted the Indian. Ho stated that
seven years ago he wa3 a farmer, living
near Colurabu3, Neb. One afternoon he
was at work in a field a quarter of a
mile from his home, when he noticed
his wife lit the front door waing her
hands; he seized his repeating rifle and
rushed for the house finding his wife
prostrate in a corner. He looke! in the
window, saw an Indian holding his boy
by the hair, and another Indian peeking
in a chest. He fired at the Indian who
was holding the boy, and dropped him.
The other Ibd through the door, and
made for the prairie. The father fired
five shots at the fleeing Indian, but failed
to hit him. That day the pioneer's wife,
near confinement, died, from the effects
of fright. And Wilkinson swore to
Martens that the doctor he met on Front
street was the Indian who escaped.
More, he said that this Indian helped to
skin u white mau alive on Loup Fork, in
Nebraska, iu 1850, and that only six
years ago he outraged a white girl in the
same region. The doctor did not deny that
he was in Wilkinson's house, or that he
skinned a white man alive, us stated by
Wilkinson, but he did deny the rape.
When asked if he wanted the doctor ar
rested, the man replied that he did not.
He said Rogers was a sou of Ited Cloud.
Late in the afternoon cf the same day
the doctor left the city. Wilkinson had
a lad of 12 ycar3 with him, who, he says
is the very child that Roger's partner
was about to "scalp" when he, the father,
came to the rescue and the boy siys he
icmcmbets the incident perfectly.
Fish Culture.
The United States fish hutching es
tablishment on the McCIoud river, a
branch of the upper Sacramento, has
been operated with great success dur
ing the past year. Over 9,000,000
salmon eggs have been obtained, uf
which 0,210,000 were sent east, arriving
in good condition and with small loss
in hatching. Ti:c remainder when de
veloped will be placed in the Sacra
mento river. The eggs shipped cast
were put up iu packages of 80,000 each
in alternate layers with damp moss.
They were then packed in crates in
pairs, surrounded by stuffing to prevent
jarring. The total weight of the con
signment was over 20,000 pounds; the
bulk of the eges alone was 80 bushels.
As a Montpciicr lady nimbly plied
her needle around the ragged edges of a
coat, which her "better half" had worn
at a prayer-meeting the Sunday evening
previous, and was badly ripped down the
back, sho remarked in that tone of phil
osophical expostulation which prudent
wive3 always employ: "John, If you
can't perform at a prayer meeting with
out throwing yourself around, bursting
off buttons, and tearing your clothe?,
you'd better get religion at home."
