Georgette Ormesby should be his that was a foregone conclusion; but his besiegement of her heart took a new form. In the privacy of her own sanctum she acknowledged to herself that she felt that invulnerable fortress to be giving way before his resolute attack, so long continued. Forall the Winter had sped away, broken up by young Scribner's weekly visits to Millshurgh, by numerous sleighing nnd toboggan parties, by till the gayeties which youth nud love make possible. The greatest breach was made, of course, in an unexpected quarter. The doctor returned to her fathers house one evening at an unaccustomed hour, to find the old gentleman playing dominoes with the audacious scribbler who had bo long disturbed her peace. Was sacred from this fellow, whonothing would not understand her avoidance of him? Her office, her friends houses, her festivities; these were free to everybody: but. her home! Well, daughter, Im glad you happened home. Mr. Scribner comes in every time he is in Millshurgh, to have a bit of a game and bring me news of the town. I am pleased to have you meet him at last, he has been so very kind. Georgette stopped short, her lips parting to utter an indignant protest; but the unblushing newsmonger arose and bowed with the obsequious of a stranger. gravity 1 his was too much effronterv and the angry woman fled to work off her vexation in a walk.

To strengthen her resolve, she mur- mured the words to the brooklet; but a x'oiee, not the brooklets, made answer: Quite right, my darling, oulv I beg that you will live it by my side! Oh, ye treacherous moonbeams! is no place hidden from the ubiquitous presence of this creature? See, Georgette, my sweetheart! there are tear drops on your eyelids. Confess, brave girl, that, the siege has been too hard for you, that you capitulate! Kiss me, my love, for truce. She put him from her and faced him, the tattered flag of her independence still waving over her. May I still keep up my business for papas, for all our sukes?

Then she bowed her head and folded her hands, standing before him meekly, as women will when the siege is over, and, like all men and conquerors, lie selfishly claimed the tribute due. When the June roses bloomed, there were two brides in Millsburg; and one of them, pretty Lucie, went straightway to her housekeeping and homemaking, after the manner of her kind.

He wondered how long it would swing there, creaking in the wind, quite certain that, eventually, the home would oust the career, and his triumph be complete. F. E. H. Raymond, in Frank Leslies. Ormesby-Seribue- r, Another Matter. Miss Prudence and Miss Patience were a pair of charming elderly maiden sisters, who lived with their father and mother on one of those fine old New England places of which so few are still left in the possession of the original families. The affairs of the establishment were largely carried on through one of those faithful hired men who were half servant and half friend, nnd who have now pretty nearly disappeared in the march of civilization. William, a genuine Yankee, felt his own importance and was 6omewbat brusque in speech. He had lived with the family so long that it had censed to enter his mind that they could get on without him and ns a natural consequence of his own appreciation of himself he was often less respectful than might have been deemed desirable for a man in his position. Miss Frudence said to Sister, Miss Patience one day, I really think we will have to get rid of William. He is so very disrespectful that there is no living with him. I dont think he is disrespectful, Patience answered. At least I havent heard anything out of the way. M by, sister, you know that he speaks of father as the old man and mol her ns the old woman. Weil, Patience urged, defensively, father is an old man and mother is an old woman. It isn t for him tobe noticing it if they are, Prudence persisted. It doesnt sound well. Oh, it's nonsense being so particular! Patience rejoined. We cant spare William for a trifle like that. Patience said, but that isnt the worst of it. Y"ou dont know the way in which he speaks of Yes, us. How does he speak of us? de manded Patience,' with a sudden change of manner. He calls us, Prudence said, solemnly, bringing the words out with awful slowness, he calls us, you and tne, sister, the old maids He doesnt, dare! cried Miss Patience, evidently losing the virtue for which she was christened. "He does, sister. That is the way in which he speaks of us, I assure you. Then he must certainly go! the other declared. When he of father and mother as old itspeaks is one thing, but when he dares to call us old, and old maids, too, that is a very different thing, and I will speak toMilliam myself in the mornino-antell him we shall not want him on the place any longer.
