THE NOM DE PLUME. “I shan’t have any Xenophen ready for to- morrow,” states Mr. Folke Fortescue, with fif- teen-year-old majesty. “ And fora very good Teason.”” itis Folke’s study-hour, and Folke has no bosiness to talk. Mr. Gorme, his tutor, seated at an opposite end of the room, adheres answer- Jesly to his newspaper. He has persuaded himself that total disregard is the only way of doing the slightest damage to his pupil's im- Wense loquacity. “ Sister Grisell i this evening,” pursues Folke, narrowly observant of his tutor, to detect the vaguest sign of curiosity in the matter of hearing more. “TI didn’t know any- thing about it till this morning. Wasn'tit mean of father not to tell me? He didn’t wan't my mind taken off my studies. Sweet excuse.” Silence on the part of Mr. Gorme, while Folke relapses into the classic pages for which he bas a pronounced loathing, with a certain conviction in bis mind that Sic! Gorme cannot be curious about anything. Meanwhile, Mr. Gorme is very curions indeed, without.showing it. He has been with the For- tesques, father and son, during half May and all June, and in that time has heard many fond allusions to the absent daughter of the house. Now she is having a suberb time with the Some- bodys at such-aml-such a place; again, her quarters have changed, and sbohas guee among tresh friends and entertainers now. Magiste- rial Mr. Fortescue always gets down from his pedestal, and pulls in august horns, and shate human generally, when he Bes this, Mr. trait of the young lady that er” in her fathers’ study here at Lot . Her father bas told him it is absurdly bke. He doubts if it is like, for his own ape He believes that the women with lily white skins, great full throats, mall heads, w! profuse auburn hair waves crisply and with limpid eyes the colored tur- oise, do not, as a rule, exist outside of artist's ‘reams and poet's fine frenzies. While he sits here in the school-room, seeming to the mind of poor Folke so complete a jelly- fish of indifference, he can not help germ | that morning relative to his daughter’sexpected return. Hitherto Folke and himself have breakfasted and dined with the master of th house; but doubtless that arrangement will be unpleasant to its young mistress, who will sobably entertain many friends at’ Longshore porn the remainder of the sammer. Mr. Gorme has heard Folke say that she isa great favorite with lots of people. : “You may come ald take a walk with me if ike,” he tells Folke, when study hours are Tam going down to the inarble rock.” Lam going to drive the ponles down to for tather and Grisell,” firmness. ‘* The ponies are not very safe, Folk. Tean't let you drive them uuless your father gave you permission.” L “ Which he did do, if you please,” cries Folke. with the air of one who produces a trump-card to his opponent's huge mafiture. Mr. Gorme is only too glad, as he tells him- self, while starting on his walk, that the trump- card has been played. He dislikes everything which flavors in the least of pedagoguish ark sition to Folke’s wishes; dislikes even the privi- lege of possible control; dislikes all that relates to his tutorship, except Latin and Greek, which is paid for driving into that handsome ‘blonde head se bitterly against its owner’s will. And exenthe Latin and the Greek have meagre charm for him, since he is dead tired of Vir, fine ashe thinks it; and the recurrent intelli- gence how many stadia per day marched the army of King Cyrus, fails keenly to interest his scholarly tastes. . Mr. Gorme leaves behind him the it, gray its woody, trim-swarded grounds to the sea. The jnarble rock giimmers whitely from maltitades of others that, Im noblest turmoilof esque- ness, ede this beautiful, heavy- shore. He himself upon the age < Lage ma duces a vast meerschaum, and, while 6 bd it, lets the murmur passionately enjoy the color, =r this exquisite after- noon sea. But the enjoyment does not last long for certain nameless discontent draws him away from this happy lotus-teast and makes his hus- cious viands unpalatable. Nameless he might deceive himself by cailing it, but not name! at all—really, an angry regret that Miss Grisell Fortescue is to Longshore. Until now he has almost felt, as times, as though this de- lightful pleasure-land were his own. When freed from his duties with Folke, he could wan- der where he listed, smoking in summer house, writmg in the li great bronze family-inkstand itself, scattering his Pooks about the sitting-ruom, and ther behaving with a sort wild pi ip by no means unw » The coming woman must put an end to all this. Until now he has «bat fed on the roses and laid im the lilies” of tutorship. He is to be taught his place, « Or, rather, ¢ am ing to learn it without the teaching,” he suddenly mutters, while he rises from the rock. After that, he goes home. It is about six o'clock as he enters the house. Folke has said that they are coming in the half past-six train. ‘He supposes one ought to dress. He may be sent for after the servants have paid their re- spects (thinking this thought with a little satiric sinile edging hislips. He dresses.

Mr. Gorme waits a little while, then he appears in the hall. Mr. Fortescue and his danghter are both standing in the doorway looking out upon the lawn now. Mr. Fortescue hears Sir.
