It was a delicate operation, but It was performed with the nV.111 of a master, and the Lily Maid, who had n been positive that her heart was crushed for life, was amazed to realize that tho mangled organ, as Its weight of woo was rolled on the Fond Parent's ample bosom, was rapidly returning to something like its normal shape. In fact, there remained but ono wound which threatened serious and that was the Injury to It was the Lily Mald'a not so horrible, after all, that they should have quarreled; people were almost always and she frankly admitted that his hair was red, though hitherto she had spoken of It as auburn; and, of course, if a person chose to go with other girls with another girl and send her flowers, and lend her hla society pin, a person would scorn to care, declared the Lily Maid, with a little tremor In her voice; but there was something else, she added with a gasp, burying her nose In the Fond Parent's neck gear, and squeezing her very hard. She had given him a lock of her hair when he kept on begging: and when she gave it to him he had kissed her hand, and he must have 'bought she cared, because she didn't get mad. and she had cared, and he knew It, and he didn't care at all! She wished she was dead. She would never that It get over It. And she kne was the other girl he had liked all the time. She wouldn't mind U so much if he had cared, but now she was disgraced; she could never look anybody In the face again. The Fond Parent held her very close and spoke almost In a whisper. She remembered her father, did ahe not? she asked the Lily Maid. The latter raised her head suddenly, for even now her mother spoke of him only with an effort, and under pressing need. She felt a sudden sense of dig nlty, of Intimacy, of sharing her mother's confidence, not as a child, but as a woman. The Football Youth seemed She suddenly of small consequence. remembered her father perfectly, and the memory wag full of pride and Joy. It had been lm)osslble for the Football Youth to make-an- y very rapid headway with her until ahe had persuaded herself that he would become, in time, very much such a man as her father hnd been. Just now this idea appeared absurd. ' Hut her mother was speaking again. Her father had loved a woman many years that was before she knew him. He had loved the woman deeply, but when, at last, they were about to be married, she had Jilted him. and given her band to a mere(boy, younger than herself, whose prospect of wealth seemed greater than her father's. Would she lose respect for her father now, because he had cared so much, and given bis love where It was neither appreciated nor The Lily Maid's eyes returned? flashed. Her mother pressed her head gently down on her shoulder again and went on. It was a terrible thing for her father; It was years before he had cared for another woman for her; but this that hnd come to her little girt was Just a breath of the future, a faint prophecy of the time wVn er heart rhould awaken, not for a boy, but for a man. It was Just that the time had come for her to stir In her sleep; anyone else would have done as well as tho Football Youth. It would soon pass. The eyes of the Lily Maid, as she kissed her mother, were not altogether Incredulous, and In the days that followed she brightened visibly. It was eiisy to talk now ; and If she felt again the chills and fever of dt.nndtiry, she knew where to go for help.

At the time of his arrival the I.lly Maid wore a olutail and abbreviated ' Bklrts, and her Indifference to the ad of the college youths miring glancea was to the Fond Parent's eye a beauti ful nnd touching thing. Vnfortunately. it whs not destined to lust. Hut the Lily Ma Id was a gentlewoman, and If. during that magic year, as her nkirts descended ami her pigtail aspired, she began to notice the ripple of pleasurable Interest which her morning walk past the college campua Invariably occasioned, nhe gave no sign, but went calmly on, as usual, to the door of the Select Seminary for Young Ijidies, of which institution she was the acknowledged ornament and pride. It wnu late in the aprlng before the Football Youth mustered courage to call with hla aunt. The Lily Maid was, by that time, a creature not to be resisted. She had made several of her summer gowns herself, and If the Fond Parent rather disapproved of the little train, she was too proud of the young dressmaker's akill to say so; tin' pigtail had also finished Its Journey, and rested on the little head In a fluffy golden heap. Outwardly, the Ijly Maid was a young lady. Inwardly, she was a very shy little girl; and when the Football Youth's visit was ended, and she cuddled down in the Fond Parent's capacious lap for one of their frequent private chats, she plainly Intimated that she thought the young man a bore; and that her own three brothers were really the only ena sentiment joyable boys In town which the Fond Parent frankly shared. It developed that the Football Youth was an orphan, and he naturally spent the summer with his aunt, so much of the summer, that Is to say, as he did not spend on the Fond Parent's veranda with the IJly Maid. The Fond Parent watched him sharply enough, and was forced to admit to herself that he seeuied really quite a nice child. In a moment of Indiscretion she presented this opinion of him to the IJly Maid, and was pained to receive the Information, enthusiastically given, that he was a sophoinor In college, that he was head "man" on the college team, and that he would he twenty yar old on the seventeenth of net April.

When tho Football Youth had folthe Fond lowed her to Washington Parent gave thanks that she had no nerves and never started, she had been just a little glad at first; but after anybody knows a man a real man, who Jias read, and knows everything, and has had adventures In all the Fond sorts of queer countries Parent took a sudden twist in ber r.ienlal consciousness with a view to holding herself steady why, a boy like that Is so raw.

The Fond Parent sat blinking at the, new wall paper which adorned, the Lily Maid's room, wondering If she were really awake'. She looked down at the pretty head and touched the fluffy hair softly with her Hps, while phe encouraged the child, by various sympathetic squeezes, to go on; but she waa not listening at all. She was wondering if it were always to be out of deep water into deeper; If the little feet that she ""had guided so long, Instead of coming back to her side again, were beginning to stray stil) further afield. She had known they must walk their path some day; but It had never occurred to her that the Football Y'outh stood at the parting of he ways, and that, though the child might walk near at hand for many a mile yet, she would never return to the security of the path which she had left. The Lily Maid waa beginning to wonder a little at her silence when the smallest boy burst Into the room with Joy on his youthful countenance. Did hla mother ever see such bully apples? well, splendid apples, then the man didn't have but three bushels left, and that pig or a Tom Walker was Just sprinting down the street to gel bis mother to buy the whole lot! The Lily Maid stretched out her hand for one of the samples, and set her small teeth In it with evident pleasure.

They sprang: to the window, by a common Impulse, and ens of the countryman's gaged stock, Juat as the panting Thomas threw himself upon the tall board of the wagon, and gasped out that his mother would take the three bushels. The light of victory gleamed In the eyes of the two at the window, and they scurried downstairs, hand In hand, to secure their prize, while the Fond Parent, stepping down slowly, as became her years and dignity, assured herself with a smile that the Lily Maid had come home In time, and was In no Immediate darger. thj is Clowned ud S S cod-tinua- l. st-rl- "CaMoraia n h.T-aSifi- rl kt. s-- r ir w Ethics cf Success. il man must msk up M mind.
