Roxy was very sorry when Mr. Jefferys returned tothe city, It seemed as if ‘his absence left a Yawning hiatus in her life, which had not pre- viously been eventful or rich in incident. But she did not know how more than sorry Mark Jefferys Was to part from her. “Pull many a flower ts born to blush unseen,’” he quoted to himself, after the hackneyed style of the young man in general when the little Winged god has him at a disadvantage. “But she shall not blush unseen if my pictures in this Year's exhibition bring their price. She shall be my wife—always supposing that she considers | me worthy of the treasure-trove of ner love. I will wear her like a flower on my heart. think—yes, I think she likes me a little now. T am quite sire that if I had the chance I could make her like me just a little more.” And so now and then he ventured to write to her, lest by any chance she might forget that such a person existed, jow in real life things will sometimes happen | as strangely as they do in novels. Every one | Knows this.” And it came to pass that in the mid- April time, when the skies above and violets be- low are blue with a blueness that no description can equal, Docta Honeywell came up to New York to buy herself a silk dress, and asked Roxanna | Stephens to accompany her. | _ “I never like to trust entirely to my own taste,” said Docia: “and you have such excellent ideas of | color, Roxy.” | When the dress was duly settled upon—one of those delicious olives which, like the hair of the poet's heroine, was “Brown in the shadow, and gold in the sun”— there wos yet a good hour and a half to spare be- fore the train went. “oh, do let us go to the Academy of iS sald Roxy; “it can’t be far. “And I think it would Test my e¥es to look at some pictures.” It was a fine sunshiny, breezy afternoon, and all the world was out. Roxy came slowly up the \ broad marble looking around at the giant palms, and the caoutchouc leaves, and the inon- | ster camellia.trees, whose dark green foliage shone as if it had been "varnished. Beyond glowed the pletures, outlined in gold, full of vivid lights and deep mysterious shadows. _A little crowd had col- lected before one particular canvas, and following the usual impulse of human nature, Docia and Roxy left the other pictures—possibly possessed of equal merit—unsurveyed, and joined the flutter- ing, perfumed knot of gazers Picture of the season,” she heard some one saying In the soft, distinct tones that denote your society oracle; “La Jolie Blanchisceuse.’ Would you believe that that little square of canvas has been sold for a thousand dollars?

Little Roxy, in her plain brown gown and the poke hat of rough-and ready straw, with the loops of cherry ribbon which she herself had sewn on, Stood. on tiptoe to peep over the shoulder of thé tall lady in front of her at the picture. “ah, Docia!” she cried, starting ack, as she caught a glimpse of it with the strange sénsation of one who looks into a mirror, “J—I have seen that before.” In the fo 1d a crystal-clear brook gurgled away under a fringe of iuxuriant cresses; in the middie distance there was the green mystery of chestnut shadows on the grass, and a young girl asleep, with bare white arms, and sun-Donnet fall- en down her neck, while an open book lay on the ground. A red-winged blackbird balanced itself On a bush at her right, and in the background a line full of fluttering clothes seemed to come and fost, the signal of the wind. | One could almost the murmur of the brook, almost see the stir of the tall grasses in the yellow mist of the noon- tide heats. It was avery simple picture, to be sure, but it is the simple pictures that speak to peopies hearts nowadays. Docta stared intently. “It looks like you, Roxy,” she said, “and that is the very chestnut tree with the hollow heart that blew down in the equinoc- tal gale last March. Have you found the number in the catal ‘Who painted it?
