If} some trick or Mlusion she would show her supel and have the laugh on Starbuck, She set her scornfully indifferent—the contemptuously inaccessible —the coldly caprictous and petulant—was tnelined to be polite to the stranger! Tho fact wax that Polly, after the fashion of her sex, took It Into her pretty head, against all consis. ency and logic, to suddenly make an exception to he weneral attitude toward mankind In favor ofjone ind!- vidual. ‘The reason-seeking masculine reader will rashly conclude that this Individual was the cause ag well as the object; but 1 am snttsfed that every fair reader of these pages will tnatinctively know better. Miss Polly had simply selected the new guest—Mr. Starbuck—to show others, particuarly Larry Hawkina —what she could do {f she were Inclined to be civil. For two days she “fixed up” her distracting hatr at him so that its allken floss encircled her head Ike a nimbus; she tucked her oval chin into a white fichu Instead of a buttonless collar; she appeared at dinner in a newly starched yellow frock! She talked to him with “company manners,” satd she would “admire to go to San Franciaco” and asked if he knew her old friends, the Faquier girls, from “Faginia.” The Colo. nel was somewhat disturbed; he was glad that his daughter had become lesa negligent of her personal Appearance; he could not but see, with the others, how ft enhanced her graces, but he was, with the others, not entirely satisfied with her reasons, And he could not help observing—what was more or less patent to all—that Starbuck was far from being equally re- sponsive to her attentions, and at times was {ndlfter- ent and almost unclvil. Nobody aeemedito be natisfed with Polly's transformation but herself, But eventually she was obliged to assert herself. The third evening after Starbuck's arrival she was kolng over to the cabin of Aunt Chiog who not only did the washing for Buena Vista, but assisted Polly In dressmaking. It was not far, and the night was moonlit, As she crossed the garden she saw Starbuck moving In the manganita bushes beyond; a mischiey- ous light came Into her eyes; she had not expected to meet him, but she had seen him go out—and there were always possibilities, To her surprise, however, he merely Hfted his hat as she passed, and turned abruptly In another ditection. ‘This was more than the little heart-breaker of Buena Vista was accustomed to! “Oh!

By BRET HARTE. and that if he hadn't a better excuse for wantin’ ‘to see me home’ from the Injin Spring—he might slide,” Larry laughed again, albeit a little bitterly, for it seemed to him that the excuse was fully justified, but the Colonel sald promptly, "Dick's a fool—and you might have told him there were worse things to be met on the road than bogies, Run away now, and see that the niggers are on hand when the atage comes," Two hours Inter, the stage came with a clatter of hoofs and a cloud of red dust, which precipitated it- self and « dozen thirety travellera upon the veranda before the hotel barroom; it brought also the usual ‘express’ newspapers and much talk to Colonel Swinger—who always recelved his guosts in a iofty personal fashion at the dvor as he might have done in hie old Virginian nome—but ft brought lkewise— marvellovs to relate—an actual gues: who had two trunks and asked for a room! Hd was evidently a stranger to the ways of Buena Vista, and particu- larly to those of Colonel Swinger, and at first seemed Inclined to resent the social attitude of his host and hia frank and free curioalty. When he, however, found that Colonel Swinger was even better satisfied to give an account of his own affairs, his family, pedigree and his present reatdence, he began to be- trey eome interest, The Colonel told him all the news, and would no doubt have even expatiated on his ghostly visitant had he not prudently concluded that his guest might decline to remain in a haunted Inn, ‘Dhe stranger had spoken of staying a week; he had some private mining speculations to watch at Wynyard's Guich—the next seftlement—but he did not care to appear openly at the “Gulch Hotel.” He wi a man of thirty, with soft, pleasing features, and « singularly litheness of movement, which, combined with @ aut-brown, gypsy complexion, at first sm gested a foreigner.

No one had ever rebuked her charming petulance— not wished to. Larry gave a weak, vague Ihugh, Col.
