saucy i:vi:s.
A Story of Summer Masquerading.
She came smiling across the fioldp,
hnr arms liuion with hawlliorn
bloom. Harold Carlelon, as he saw
her, thought her tho very incarna
tion of spring, Bho was so young,
fresh, and so full of exuberant vital
ity. Yet she was only a cottager's
daughter apparently, for her dress,
though ni'at, was cheap. Shu glanc
ed up at him as she passed, with her
great, eloquent oyee, half shyly, half
mischievously.
Harold was fresh from Cambridge,
and at eighteen thought himself in
another sphere, even in poiut of age,
from the rustic of thirteen. He waB
disposed to bo patronizing.
'What's tho hurry, little Saucy
Eyes?' ho said. 'Stop aud give a
fellow a kiss!'
'My uamo isu't Saucy Eyes, and
you know it. Gentlemen,' and she
emphasized tho word, 'when thoy
speak to mo call me Miss Kent.'
Sho had stopped for a moment to
say this, and sho walked on with
head erect, and the air of a born
princess.
'Whew,' whistled Harold, 'but I've
mado a mess of it. No cottager's
daughter has an accent like that.
Who can sho be? A regular little
spitfire, though.'
Ho ventured to ask tho landlord
about her at the small inn where he
lodged. He had come to this pictur
esque, hilly region ou a trout fishing
excursion, and knew no ono there.
'Oh! that's the minister's daugh
ter,' was tho reply. 'Had her arms
full of hawthorn, you say? Yes,
there's plenty of it here; one of the
few places there is. We'vo miles of
hedges. Miss Kent was taking the
bloom homo to deck out tho parlor.
You should see her decorating the
church at Christmas. All the young
ladies give way to her in that, though
sho is but a child yet.'
'If sho grows up as pretty as she
is now, she'll make many a fellow's
heart ache,' said Harold, philoso
phically, as he helped himself to an
other brook trout, and in five min
utes more, so excellent was tho din
ner, he had forgotten all about the
child.
Years passed. Harold had taken
his degree and was now studying
law, tho profession of his father,
Hugh Carleton, and his grandfather
before him. Just before the summer
vacation began ho had a letter from
home.
'Wo shall ccrtainl)' expect you,
dear,' his mother wrote, 'this year,
and will take no excuses. It has
been two years since you were
home, remember. We have had
such au accession too, to our society.
Our new rector is a most excellent
man, and has such a charming
daughter, a very pretty girl, and so
bright, intelligent and high bred.'
Now, Harold, who had gone the
summer beforo to France and Ger
many, had thought of going this
year to Norway had almost given
his promise in fact; but at this ap
peal, he wrote back that ho would
co mo homo aud spend the whole
vacation at 'Inglewood' the name of
Hugh Carleton's place
'Dear mamma, it was so hard on
her last year,' ho said to himself.
Tbo very day that Harold came
home the rector went away on a
few weeks visit with his wife, aud
tho last words he said to his daugh
ter as he got into the carriage were :
'Good-bye, Katie, and don't forget
to go up to 'Squire Carleton's aud
ask to have the gardener come lo sec
the garden. The 'Squire told me to
send for him only yesterday. With
his aid we can manage to keep the
garden very nice.'
I suppose I might as well go at
once,' said Katie, when the carriage
had disappeared. 'Dear old papa, I
am sorry you aud ma have gone;
but I'm going to bavo lots of fun
with nobody but old Nannie to look
after me and her eyes fairly danced
with tho mischief of eighteen.
Harold Carleton himself was in
the garden when Katie came in. lie
had arrived unexpectedly the night
before, a week soouer than he had
oxpectod. Ho was fond of a little
amateur gardening at times, and was
just now bending over a moss rose
bush, hoe in hand. His back was
toward Katie, and she, supposing
him to be the gardener, called out :
'Oh, Adam, that's your name I
hear; please ask Mr. Carleton if he
cau't spare you for a couple of hours
this afternoon. It's Dr. Kent's at
tho rectory.'
Harold glanced mischievously at
tho pretty face half hidden by the
tall lilies which sho had stopped to
smell as she was speaking. Here
was a chance for some sport. Katie
had probably never seen the new
gardener, who had come only a few
days before. Why could not he
personato tho old fellow? It was
fortunate for him that ho had an old
coat on, he thought.
So, calling Adam, he took tho old
man into tho plot, giving him a
crown for hush money ; and in the
afternoon made his appearance at tho
door, asking for orders.
'Oh, Adam, is it you ?' cried Katie,
coming forward. 'Let mo show you
your work. I'll put on my garden
hat and be out in a minute.'
Harold presented rather a curious
appearance as ho followed Katie
down the walk ; his usually elegant
aftiro had been changed for a jacket
and trowsers of coarse Jeans ; and his
dark, curling hair was covered by a
red wig, similar in color to Adam's
fiery locks. Fie had assumed the
same shuflling, awkward gait, also.
Here is your work, Adam,' said
Katie; 'tio up tho roses aud then
weed this bed of hyacinths, train this
wisteria, aud if you have any more
time come to me for further orders.'
Harold bowed awkwardly, while
a mischievous gleam shot from the
brown eyes as ho proceeded to tic
up tho wayward roses.
'This is golfing interesting.' ho ob
served. 1 wonder what my next
order will be? By George, but Miss
Kate queen il all ! What a perfect
little beauty she is! Whew! how
hot it is.' He wiped the perspira
tion from his heated brow.
'I begin lo understand bow the
original Adam must have felt wheu
commanded lo earn his bred by tho
sweat of his brow. There, tho wis
teria is tied up. Faith mum,' be said,
as Katie re-appeared, 'I was just
cumin' to sec whatever else thrre
was to be did.'
'How nice you've made things
look !' cried Katie, as she glanced
around. 'Hut it's warm work, isn't
it ! Adam's your name, I believe. I
am glad,' allably, 'to make your ac
quaintance, Adam.'
'Faith, mum, but it is that sumo as
you say,' replied Adam, drawing his
straw hat further, down over his
eyes, still further to hide bis face.
'Well, Adam, train up this hedge
and then you may go,' she answered,
and swept away.
Several days went by. The pre
teuded Adam never failed to be on
hand in the afternoon. Int in the
morning Harold Carleton, in his own
proper person, had fishing, boating,
and picnic excursions, most of which
Katie attended, for by Ibis time the
Squire's wife had called, bringing
her son, and, of course afler that,
Katie was included in everything
that went on.
Katie, too, had learned to like
Harold Carleton very much, for no
one more genial or whole-souled
over existed. He was generous to a
fault, frank and open-hearted as the
day, and had outgrown the conceit
and coxcombery of bis youth.
Ouc morning when Katie went
-into tho garden unexpectedly, she
found Adam fanning himself with
bis straw hat, which was usually
drawn so closely over his eyes, and
she caught a quick glance that re
minded her of Harold. But it was
only for a moment.
He had not seen her, nor did lie
see her when she quietly seated her
self in a vine-covered summer-house
and took out some pretty, graceful
work with which she soon became
quite absorbed.
The long, drowsy afternoon was
wearing away. Nothing but the
tinkle of the little brook back of tho
rectory, tbo sound of the scythe
which Adam was wielding, and the
murmur of the bees broke the silence
of the place. Suddenly Katie's ear
was arrested by a clear, manly voice,
singing a bar from a favorite opera,
in a rich, ringing tonor.
She started to her feet and looked
out. Only last evening sho bad sang
with Harold Carleton that very
soug, and this surely was his voice
again. But no ono was in sigbf ex
cept Adam, who was industriously
hoeing peas. The truth was Harold,
ignorant of Katie's presence, had
forgotten himself ; but he was now
furious at his indiscretion, for he had
heard Katie and knew what called
her out.
'Adam, has Mr. Carlelon been
here ?' feho asked. 'I thought I heard
him just now.'
'No, mum, it's not yet that I did
say him.' uaid the apparently stolid
Irishman.
'I was sure it was his voice,' said
Katie, looking a trifle disappointed.
iie would cross-examine Katie and
thus discover her real feelings to
ward himself. So he asked, care
lessly, though his whole heart was
in her answer:
'Did yecs wish to say him, miss?
For it's meesilf as will be afthcr
shilling the loikes of him to ycca.'
'No,' said Katie, decidedly. 'Stop
talking and go to work. I am afraid
yon are getting lazy,' and Katie
walked off with her most queenly
step.
Whew !' whistled Harold. 'She's
too bright to be caught in that way.
Thinks Adam will fell ou her. Get
ling lazy, am I? Well, it ain't be
cause I don't work hard enough,'
with a doleful gaze at his blistered
hands, as he set vigorously to work,
adding, 'even as Adam, I must wiu
tho good opinion of my Eve'
Tho next afternoou Katie went to
call ou a friend, and Harold discon
tentedly watched her departure. It
was so pleasant to know that sho
was in the summer-house or about
tho grounds that he did uot liko to
go away.
'I can't wear that coufounded wig
any longer,' he exclaimed. 'It's
color even is enough to set mo on
fire. Now, this is refreshing. Bcppo,
you scamp, bring back that wig.
What if your mistress should come?
Whew! must I chase after that dog
this scorching day?'
Bcppo, Katie's dog, had run oil"
with the wig, as tho reader has con
jectured, and on c1i.ibu being given
to him, rushed to tho summer-house
and laid the wig at the feet of his
mistress, who had returned unex
pectedly. 'Why, Beppo, what have yon
there?' she cried. 'It looks liko the
scalp of old Adam. I wonder in '
And shi broke into a fit of ringing
laughter as she met the astonished
Harold face to face.
Mr. Carleton!'
'Miss Katie!'
Then, unable to resist it, he also
broko info a hearty lauiih.
'Oh! so you're not Adam,' said
Katie, demurely, at last.
'No, bul I will be if you'll only be
my Eve!' ho cried, with a touch of
his old boyish impudence. 'Oh,
Katie, darling, 1'vo learned to love
you so dearly say you will. We'll
make another paradise where we can
be happy together, aud I shau't be
obliged to work so hard,' breaking
into laughter as ho saw Katie's
roguish look and wiping his drip
ping forehead.
'Very well," said Katie. 'I'll think
of it. But you must remember it
was not a woman who made trouble
in flic ardcn Ibis timo.' And she
added, archly, 'but I'll forgive yon
for deceiving me if you'll forgive
me for '
'For what?' asked Harold, as she
hesitated.
'For not letting you know that 1
guessed your secret. I knew from
the beginning lhat you were not
Adam. That lirt day when I pre
tended to be smelling the lillics, I
had seen that yon were at lcat no!
a gardener.
'And you let me work all Ibis time.
and it is so hot,' with a crestfallen
look.
'Yes. You deserved it for your
trick. But I am glad you can work
and obey orders. You mav have it
to do sometime yon know.'
'Every man has, they say, when he
falls in love,' he retorted.
'Yes,' said she, saucily, 'and you
mustn't hope to be ni: exception.
But there, there, isn't that quite
enough?' for he was devouring her
with kisses. 'I declare you are as
impudent as you were live years
ago.'
'Five years ago ?'
'Yes. Oh ! you've forgotten. Men
always do. It is only women who
remember.'
'What do you mean's"
Her eyes danced with mischief.
She was enjoying his perplexity to
the full.
'Well, I'll tell you a fairy talc.
Onco on a time there, stop now, or
I'll never got on there was a little
girl coming across a field with her
arms full of hawthorn bloom.'
He gave a quick start. Katie went
on demurely.
'And sho met au impudent young
fellow, a collegian, who thought
himself. a prince, but wasn't. And
he called her 'Saucy Eyes,' tho con
ceiled '
What ! you're 'Suncy Eyes,' arc
you? Oh! I remember it all. Who'd
have thought it? Why, it's the jol
liest fairy talc I ever heard. Only
then sho wouldn't let mo kiss her,

"Mr. Gilf'oather, you-are charged
with making an unprovoked attack
upon this young man, who is a
strangor to you, aud smashing his
hat down over his oyes. Have you
any excuse to offer ?"
"It was a straw hat, your nonor."
"Well, what of that?"
"What of that! I should .think
that was enough. Hero it is Octo
ber and time for straw hats to bo
laid aside aud forgotten, along with
evanescent things of last Summer.
My keen perceptions of tbo esthetic
in dress wero shocked by this dis
play of bad taste, aud being a most
intense young man, au ultra, poeti
cal, fiiper, esthelical, anti-straw-hat
young man, I proceeded to correct
his abominable ideas of fashion by
destroying his hat, and induce him
to live up to a Fall Derby by build
ing upon him a head that no othor
kind would fit."
"If you are anxious to shine in a
fashionable linn as a man of culture
rare," said the court, "you must pay
more attention to tho weather aud
less to tho almanac aud let people
alone who prefer straw hats when
the thermometer is abovo par. If
your taste is offended you must bavo
patience with tho little weakness of
others nnd uot commit assault and
battery to establish your too tooness,
so to speak. Five dollai s and costs."
The young man paid his fine and
went out humming with repressed

"If I bad a boy to bring up I
wouldn't bring him up too softly,"
began Brother Gardner, as Samuel
Shin quit poking tho lire." "Ebery
day of my life I meet men who were
lining up softly. As boys dey wore
kissed an' petted an' stull'ed with
sweet cake an' cried ober. As young
men dey bad niifiiu' to do but spend
money, dress like monkeys, loaf on
dc streets and look down at honest
labor. As men dey am a failure.
I'cople who doan' hate 'em an' avoid
'em feel fo pity 'em, an' dat's just as
bad. When I sec a man whom eb
erybody dislikes, I realize dat ho
was briiug up on do goody good

"If I had a boy I'd rub him agin

he'd aim it. If ho got time for

work was done. If be was ugly or
obstinate I'd tan it outer him instead
of buyiu' him off If you want to
make a selfish man, humor do whims
of a boy. If you want to make a
coward, forbid your boy to defend
his rights. I'd teach my boy dat all
boys bad rights, an' dat while he
bad uo business to trample on do
rights of odder boys, no boy had do

Willi tho above words an English
societ y journal opens an article on
tho current habit of good society in
search of pleasure. It is unneces
sary to say that pleasure, if it can bo
taken only as many fashionables take
it, is not worth tho time and money
that it costs. 2io one enjoys this
world's diversions so littlu as those
who pay most for their fun and de
vote most time to it. At the thcatro
and opera the people who appear
most pleased arc those who 'sit in
tho cheapest scats and wear tha
poorest clothes, and elsewhere tho
rule is the same. All else being
equal, the man who has the most
money to spend can secure the most
enjoyment in this world ; hut one
thing that thousand of people seem
to forget is, that with all these
things with pleasant poibilitics a,
common rule of the table holds
good it is no use to eat unless yon
have an appetite. Tlio most forlorn
diuer out in New York is the man
who cats several dinners daily, and
the most unhappy man at the thea
trethe man who finds fault with
everything and enjoys nothing is
ho who goes fo tho thcatro every
night. Pleasure is liko dessert
very good lo take after something
substantial, but the moat unsatisfac
tory of all things taken as a steady
diet.
