The CGrifin school closed Friday it merely happened; the transfer ig- rored space. | noticed that, but not Wit any surprise; it seemed a na- taral process ' - g 2 s S I was at her side. 1 put my arm | Al I;\round her waist and diew her close | to me, for L.loved her; and althougi: ] did not hnow her, my behavior seemed to me quite natural and right ¢nd 1 had no misgivings about it. she showed no surprise, no distress, no displeasure, but put an arm ChristmasShoppers around my waist, and turned up her face to mine witi a happy welcome in it, and when 1 bent down to kiss her she received the kiss as if she was expecting it, and as if it was cuite natural for me to offer it and Ler to take it and have pleasure in it. The affection which I felt for her and which she manifestly felt for me was a quite simple fact; but the quality of it was another matter. It was not the affection of brother and sister— it was closer than that, more cling- ing, more endearing, more reverent, and it was not the love of sweet- hearts, for there was no fire in it. It was somewhere between the two texclusive, more profoundly content- {ing. We often experience this sirange and gracious thing in our Ciream loves; and we remember it as o feature of our childhood loves, too. We strolled along, across the Lridge and down the road, chatting like the oldest friends. She called me George and that seemed natural and right, though it was not my name; and | called her Alice, and she did not correct me, though with- it doub it was not her name., Ev- erything that happencd seemed just ! natural and to be expected. Once | on to that happiest of all with a tree, will constitute a pleas- | g iq, *“What a dear little hand it is-" end without any words she laid it scatefully in mine for me to examine it. I did it, remarking upon its lit- tleness, its delicate beauty, and its satin skin, then Kkissed it; she put it vp to her lips without saying any- thing and Kissed it in the®same pTace. Around a curve of the road, at the *d of half a mile, we came to a log house, and entered it and found the table set and everything on it steam- ing hot a roast turkey, corn in the car, butter heans, and the rest of the usual things-—and a cat curled up asleep in a splint bottomed chair by the fireplace; but no people; just emptiness and silence. She said sle would look in the next room if 1 would wait for her. So | sat down, «nd she passed through a door, which closed behind her with a click of the latch, T waited and waited. Then I got up and followed, for I could not longer bear to have her out of my sight. 1 passed through the door and found myself in a strange sor!

No, I did not meet her; I overtook her. It was in a Missouri village which 1 had i rever been ‘in before, and was not in {at that time, except dreamwise; in the flesh 1 was on the Atlantic sea- board ten or twelve hundred miles away. The thing was sudden, and with- cut preparation—after the custom of dreams, that has a wooden rail and was untidy with scattered wisps of hay, and there she was five steps in front of me; half a second previously neither of us was there. This was niediately behind up. Its last house was the blacksmith shop; and the peaceful clinking of the hammers—a sound which nearly always seems re- mote, and is always touched with a a spirit of loneliness and a feeling of soft regret for something, you don’t know what—was wafted to my ear over my shoulder; in front of us was the winding country road, witn woods on one side, and on the other a rail fence, with blackberry vines aud hazel bushes crowding its ang- les; on an upper rail a bluebird, and scurrying toward him along the same rail a fox squirrel with his tail bent high like a shepherd’s crook; beyond the fence a rich field of grain, and far away a farmer ir shirt sleeves and straw hat wading knee deep through it; no other representative of life, and no noise at all; every- where a Sabbath stillness. I remember it all—and the girl, too, and just how she walked, and how she was dressed. In the first moment I was five steps behind her; {in the next one I was at her side—- vithout either stepping or gliding: the exit of the village, which lay im- } tombs and monuments stretching fi1 and wide on every hand, and flushad with pink and gold lights flung from the sinking sun. [ turned around, «tid the log house was gone, | run | here and there and yonder down thc lanes between the rows of tombs calling Alice; and presently tho night closed down, and T could not find my loss, and 1 could not find way. Then | woke, in deep distr ! over my loss, and was in my bed in | Philadelphia. And | was not |7 now, but 19.--Mark Twain in Har er's Magazine, Not Saying Much.
