[concLupED | Now. f em an old stager at waltzing. I can Keep it ep longer than any non-professional dancer, male or female, whom I ever met. As long a# the Cachuca or Sohounebrunnen ring in my ears, I can go on, if it is for a year. No so with Bimby. He plead want of prac- tice. and acknowled, that he soon got dizzy. “ Aba, ol4 boy.” thought I, “I'll give you a turn. then '"* But I only smiled, and said that I sheuld prohably get tired first “Ob yes ’”” he exclaimed, “of course; I can waltaas long at any ene lady, but not much mere Por the first three minutes, my cavalier did well. He went smoothly and evenly, but at the expiration of that time, began to grow warm. Five minutes elapsed. and Bimby’s breath beesme harder and harder. On we went, however. and I scorned to notice his slackening up at every round, when we passed my seat. After some ten or twelve minutes, the wretched man gasped out between his steps. ~ Ab, a—are you not—getting tired /"” “Ob, no!’ L burst forth, as coolly as if we were riding round the reom—* oh, no, I feel as if I could waltz all night.” The look of despair that he gave was terrible to see. I was bound to see him through, howeyer, and we kept at it. Bimby staggered, and made wild stepsin all directions. His shirt collar wilted, his eyes protruded, his jaw hung down; and, altogether, I saw he could not hold out much loager. “ This is delightful,”’ I said — “and you, Mr. Bimby, waltz so easily.”’ * Puff—puff—ah puff—yes—oh—puff—rery —puff, delightful,”’ gasped he. ~ Don’t you think it ought to go a little fas- ter ?”" He rolled his eyes heavenward in agony. “Ab, puff—puff—I don’t—ah—puff—don't know.”* So, when we neared the musicians, I said. “Faster, if you please—faster'’’ and they played a /a whirlwind. ‘oor Bimby threw his feet about like a fast Pacer, and revolved after the manner of a tee- *etum which was nearly run down. At last he staggered a step backwards, and spinning ec- centrically away from me, pite! headiong into the midst of a small bevy of ladies ina corner. I turned around coolly, and walking to my seat, sent the young woman-killer for a glass of ice water. The miserable lawyer recovered his sensea just in time to see me thank hie rival for the water I got some idea from this of the fun the ladies find in tormenting us poor devils of the other sex At this juncture, and before Mr. Bimby had time to apologize for hia accident, little Jennie came running into the pavilion which served asa ball-room. As she came near, I perceived that her hands were clutebed tightly in her dress. and I positively shuddered as she whis- pered to me, ‘Oh, Maggie' come and help me fix my akirts—they are all coming down'”’ What should Ido?

An old lady showed us iatu her cham- ber, and Jennie, heaving s sigh of relief, let go her dress. As she did so, a—pardon my blushes! a petticoat fell to the floor. She was about to proceed, but I alarmed her by a sud- den and vebement gesture. * Btop!” Leried frantically, and forgetting my falsetto voice; “Step! don’t andress for God ssake!"* She opened her great brown eyes to their widest extent And why not?” “ Because I am—I am—a—can you keep a secret?" - Why. yes—how frightened you look! Why what is the sintion—Siigeie' you—why—oh ! oh’ ob!” And she gave three fearful screams. ~ Hush, no noise, or [ am lost '’’ I exclaimed, patting my hand over her mouth. * I awear I mean no harm; if I had I would not have stopped you.

Isat between Bimby and Jennie, and wade love to both of them in turn; to one as Maggie Lee, and to the other as myself.
