Not the usual thing the emotionally cruel oung woman who lightly breaks men's hearts until she falls into the hands of the emotionally cruel )oung man who breaks hers, for emotionally cruel voting men arc usually hopeless ends, and Miss Wood' bury loathed a cad, and knew one by instinct afar off. When Rachel lTrcmh, in Mrs. Hurnctt's " Ilnwortli's," makes a dead set at a youth and then throws him over, her father, on becoming aware of her little adventure, calls her conduct "dcucedly ungcntlcmanly," which is expressive. Ilelle Woodbury was not an ungcntlcmanly girl, but she inherited, and her education had fostered in her, a slight contempt for the emotional side of human nature ; so she did not realize the damage she sometimes did. Most women over-estimate it. She professed to believe that love was a fiftcen-minutc-long crazine-ss, which one- shook off and laughed at, like nervous ness or chills; and marriage that bul wark of the state this fosy young woman regarded as a sort of infernal hocuVpocus, by which a being who had been taught, by infinite flattery and prostrate adoration, to believe herself r queen, suddenly found herself helplessly a slave forever. By assuming an elevated and coldly philosophical tone in discussing prob lems of the day university education for women, ro education, the ballot for women she contrived, in the very early' stage? of their acquaintance, to lure the men she flirted with into a frank expression of manly compassion for the whole sex that could only help itself to any independence and rec oumtion by concessions no matter how forced from them granted by men. " Men arc natural tyrants," was a phrase she had heard so often that she could hardly place the different tones she had heard it in. She liked to hear these things said, because they seemed to strengthen her position. She braced her armor anew, saying: "The real world is quite as I thought. There is nothing in the love artists deify nothing, nothing." The reiteration was a dcllaiuc of an unquiet misgiving as to whether men are likely to turn their hearts inside out for in spection, when their cue is to be coldly philosophical. Still, when some un fortunate told her, later, with more or less excitement, that he lived in her smiles, as it weie, and would fain make such cachinnatory habitation per manent, it amused her to ask how it was possible that he .should care so much for the favor of one whom he pitied so heartily and meant to rule so despotically? No, but she was different from all other women, and he an exception to the tyranny-of all other men. It is just to say that Miss Woodbury was made, and not bom, a flirt. At an early stage of her development a bril liant woman of the world had taken a fancy to her, and assured her that she had in her the material for a chtj d'auvit. liclle was restless tinder the training of her friend. She was natur ally reserved, and a little melancholy, and the admitted diversions of young ladydom boicd her. " It's all so pale and meaningless," she fretted ; " I could le Adah Men ken, or I could be a nun; but this pitiful betwixt and between, what is it ?" "It's very interesting to be so ex treme, no doubt, my dear," said her friend, cynically ; " but we must work with what we have; and or the women who don't fascinate the men about them it is simply said that they a can't. Think of that when vou are feeling particularly superior and high minded." I Miss Voodbury acquired from her friend's invaluable lessons an insincerity which made her more companionable than trustworthy. She could treat a new acquaintance as if he or she were the found-atlast complement of her being, and then forgot the wretch so utterly that when it rushed forward runt lime, to renew the pleasantly begun intercourse, while Miss Wood- uury'mauV every effort to seem as if her memory was equally good, it was chill ingly apiwrctn that she had, in fact, no recollection of anything iiv rticular. In short, obeying her friend'? precepts, s,he had adopted the peculiarly feminine line of activity called by young women in moments of expansion, "trying to make people like you," and it is so true that the heart leaps kindly back to kindness that the effort is usually crowned with suciess, and Ilelle some times gathered in a scalp she had not waned for, and was nude inexpressibly happy by the acquisition. In her various affairs she generally took a man of her sire to speak in the language of scliool boys a worldling, and an intel ectual mortal, in order that conver sation need not be limited to sentt inent, and that she might have the consolation of remembering that of course he went in with his eves open. She liked to find out what was sensitive arul high in men, their dearest ujennH their gentlest, inmost goodfQliftli and she was, as I have said7 uite gen tlctiianly and discreet , but Onqe.stie contemplated a thorougnly''mworthy and heartless flirtation, and was'ainlls ingly punished for it, and this is the way it was There was an interesting woman in the city of Saint Dominic, where Miss Woodbury lived, who desired to pose as a patroness and fosterer of literature ahd art, to the consternation of such artists and writers as had the misfortune to live in Saint Dominic ; for while artists would not, for the world, be anything but what they are, they are dissatisfied to be pursued by Philistines solely on account of their artistic pro clivities, and theirs is a reasonable dis content -for if they talk shop the Phil istine can not understand, and if they talk anything else the Philistine looks aggrieved, as if she were losing part of her invitation's worth. The lady I have mentioned her name vvm Mrs, Reade professed an admiration for Ilelle Woodbury, and from the hour that misguided young woman had rashly printed a volume of poems, Mrs. Reade had marked her for prey. Helle's fixed rule was to decline three invitations and then nccept one. Mrs. Reade's delight was in her Friday after noon receptions, and into one of these throngs ltelle projected herself one day, wondering how she should make her self smile when she finally reached Mrs, Reade. When she did, she be came interested and forgot herself alto gether. Ily Mrs. Reade's side stood a long, ungainly man, with a good face. Ho was quite unembarrassed, but Helle wondered whether, if he could have been made conscious how uncon ventional he was, he would have re mained unembarrassed. She did not know him. His nature was so simple and robust of nerve, that, after the most carefully caustic explanation of the transgressions of his singular ap pearance against all the canons of the world of mode, he would have said, sin cerely: "Does it matter?"

To be sure, the lines of it were round rather than oval, but that stands for the gentler side of human nature ; and his nose, small and undecided like a child's, but prettily shaped, indicatek a lack of combative ncss and power not good to see in a masculine face. I le had full, soft lips, that came suavely together like a Ger man's kindliness again, and love and talent. Kyts soft and patient, like those of a lady's horse. He was very quiet, and had a sweet voice. Ilelle summed him up in this way, and had met him "Mr. Hracey" and was talking with him about what ever everybody was discussing that afternoon, when she became suddenly aware how distinctly she was saying to herself: " I wonder if I could make him love me. I wish I could" not at all because she was interested in the man, but lecausc she thought it would amuse her to sec him suffer. He would not be fierce and restive on the rack, but dumbly and submissively wretched, like the dog his strange master vivisects, or the doe the shot that should have been kept for statelier game has wantonly done to death. Hracey gave himself up to her bland ishments with an alacrity that gave her food for reflection. "I wonder if he is married," she mentally observed, and the next thought, although not permitted to take definite shape, was something like: "II he is, so much the worse for Mrs. llracey." Such promptly barbarous designs deserve a word of explanation. Miss Woodbury was in a savage frame of mind, and, like the irritated cobra, ready to strike at a iree if that was the only thing that presented itself. With out exactly calling life a circus, she always thought of herself as a heroine or the sawdust arena, riding lazily, lying along the back of a horse which sym bolized freedom, dreams and inspiration. She would picture the philosophers, her friends, as ring-masters rushing up to her, extending a paper-covered hoop through which she would jump' wonder very much where she was going to laud, anc, until lately, rejoice to find herself safe on the luck of the dream horse again. If she made a misstep or not a good jump, she would roll ignominiously on the sawdust, and the man who held the fatal hoop would have the tight to count a tally. Long ago there had come into the ring a oan, not a ringmaster, but a rider like herself, and his horse, a splendid black, kept beside hers for a while, and that was riding, indeed. Then one tlay the vicious black boHctl, and went clear over the railings and out of sight, carrxing his brilliant, indolent rider, Miss Woodburv's friends informed her, to thJ devil That, as I have said, was long ago, but still when the arena seemed oppressively circumscribed Helle's thoughts went wandering to the the Inferno itself is in circles, and thought possibly the sawdust ring might have its advantages for women Meantime, in her latest leap she had been disgracefully unhorsed, and, though the ring master stood chival rously ready to give her a mount again, for the moment it seemed more easily said than done, and she had brooded over the defeat until her mood was somewhat dangerously vindictive. Of course, she stood beside llracey a model of suave receptiveness. " You are a poet," said llracev, with a thrill in his voice. "So are )ou," said Ilelle, softly, while she inwardly crossed herself, and vowed a cock to Swinburne and a candle to Shakespeare for so taking in vain the one name sacred to her under the sun. She made the remark at a venture, too ; she couldn't know the man rhxincd, but the muscles of his face relaxed stibtilely, showing that she had stroked scientifically the velvet of his softest vanity. "If Mrs. Reade could hear us she would be delighted," she continued, sneering a little. "This is way she wishes us to talk." "I don't understand you," said llracey, simply. "I mean that Mrs. Reade wishes us to pretend that we believe that our miserable little penny-dips are lighted with the s.icred fire, and to talk as if we were real," pouted Helle, discon tentedly. "Are you not real?" said Hracey quite gravely. " I am perfectly sincere in all I write ; I couldn't write if I were not" " No, I'm not real," said Helle, im petuously. " I try to be sometimes, but I am not." Hracey looked first sad, then thoughtful, then radiant. His eyes smiled into hers. " 1 believe in you," he said. "J. must .terininly ask Mrs. Reade about this man;" thought Ilelle. And shcaccordinidy did, so, eliciting that Jiradev WiisVman even more of the pei)pltt!vtrlyJiost4Americans, but one who'was-amnitious for a college educa tion. Kvery kind of misfortune had combined to make the fulfillment of his ambition impossible until within the past few months, when, not daunted by the fact that he was two or three years older than most graduates, he had entered the freshman class at the Uni versity, and fully designed to remain until he took his degree. "He writes?" asked Helle. "Or vou would not see him here," simpered Mrs. Reade. " I liked his poems oh, he has genius, Miss Wood bury! and I never rested until I met him. Isn't he strange and brilliant, and isn't it delightfully Bohemian for him to dress as he does ?" " Hohemian !" echoed Helle, thought fully; " I didn't think him Hohemian, nor brilliant; 1 what am I talking about? 1 admired Mr. Hracey very much. I have to thank you, Mrs. Reade, for one more pleasant acquain tance." When she went to her carriage, Hracey was standing by thc-open gate. He gave her some green, pointed leaves, which she accepted mechanically. " I should like to sec you again. I know where you live. May 1 come and sec you ?" he said, with the sim plicity of a child. Helle gave him permission to call. His directness pleased her; it was part of the man, and had not the farthest affinity with intrusion. Musing upon the ring master as she drove, she forgot Hracey, until, clenching her hands with annoy ance upon the leaves she still held, a faint fragrance made her examine them. They were bay leaves, Hracey duly made his appearance, and Ilelle in turn went over to the University and examined its points of interest with the mature but studious freshman ; and after that they sa-.v each other often. She was beginning to like him very much, but the teachings of her old-time worldly friend asserted their power, and she was discontented to perceive in him no signs that he was Incoming a victim. "Perhaps," she said to herself, ''he is a man who can be a woman's friend without falling in love with her, or considering it a duty to play at being in love with her. Hut, oh, how in differently complimentary to the woman toward whom such sang rot J is possi ble I If only for vicarious vengeance on the ring-master, 1 should like to make him writhe a little. Patience I I shall do it yet." She tried gushing over him, and, knowing that it wa not spontaneous, blushed guiltily when she met his calm, kindly ey One day, Incoming desiterate, she sent him some books. The next day she received the follow ing note : very truly, John llRAcrY. Every man she had ever flirted with, ever) woman she had gushed over and forgotten, was signally avenged in the storm of comic rage that for a moment made Helle's face a study after reading this note. If she had been a nun she would have sworn ; being a woman, she talked. " Poor, weak brain !" she said, con temptuously, " I do him the honor to take the trouble to try to give him the most educating ache he ever had in his life, he who thirsts for cultivation and the serene stupid talks almut giving me mt pain ! If he had seen me first ' Language fails !" She prepared to answer the note at once, and sat dipping the pen in the ink a score of times, while her hand shook, when suddenly the unspeakable absurdity of the situation dawned upon her. She threw down the pen and shouted with laughter. Her sense of justice told her that it was solely her own lauit that she had received the note, and her sense of humor found the note itself delicious. She leaned forward again, and hastily wrote. " Dear Mk. 11k acm i Thank oit for your confidence. You have given a warnirg a man is rarely Generous mough In give, because he fears rMicutc or mistake. I see )OU have nut thought either posiiblc. Thank )ou again. Alwavs ) cur friend, ISAHKl WooiiBURY." She sealed this, and went off into another gale of laughter, and at inter vals during the day lounged against door-posts and leaned upon tables, and musingly muttered: "It served mc richly right."

I lt of the I'lirtottlitit It stems to mc that the responsibili ties of friendship arc not less than its recompenses. Therefore I may not resist the desire to g'ne to the public my version of the little affair between my friend Jack Hracey and Philip Shir ley's friend liclle Woodbury. Jack has gone East, and he is unlikely ever to notice the very public picture of his character made by Mr. Shirley's sketch. To the llerkcley fellows who knew him best, the idea of Jack Hracey being played mouse with by licl'e Woodbury is simply funny. Now I don't want it to be thought that I have even questioned Mr. Shirley's good faith in telling his friend's story as he has chosen to tell it ; but the other side is justly entitled to a hearing; hence these tears, and the following circumstantial details : 'On the morning of the class day of '79 three members of the freshmen class of that year were standing in front of Merrill's drug store when a carriage passed containing three ladies. One of those ladies was Mrs. John Reade, another was Miss Helle Woodbury. Two of the three were Kred Henshaw and John llracey. One of the freshmen knew both Mrs. Reade and Miss Wood bury and raised his hat as they drove by." " 'Nawful 'tangy lace that girl had, I'rcd. Who is she ?" "Helle Woodbury. Krisco chit. Some money. Smattering of brains. Lots ofopinon of herself. A heart breaker by instinct -and indulgence. A good girl not to know." " Then introdue us." " I think too much of your friendship." One might search the thesaurus of characterization and find no word so tellingly dcscriptic of Jack Hracey as the adjective " smooth" in its slang sense. Not even that admirable Crich- ton of his class, I'rcd Henshaw, equalled Jack Hracey in the blending of qualities whkh unite to form that graphic bit of ilotson phrase. Hefore the class-day merriment had worn itself out, Jack had made the acquaintance of Mrs. Reade and had made so favor able an impression upon the discern ing and responsive society woman that the following fragment of dialogue, with which they parted, held neither obvious flattery on his jiart norapjurent effusiveness on hers : " May a quiet fellow, who is honestly a student and trusts some day to be a scholar, hope that the privilege of knowing you, Mrs. Reade, may live longer than this brief afternoon?' "Surely you will come over .some evening, with Mr. Henshaw or alone, Mr. llracey ?" And Jack had accomplished that without giving himself away by getting introduced to the girl who had so piqued his curiosity. He wanted "that languid gallop to be a blissful duo of locomotion" as thetamented Professor Sill might have said. And the guying of Carroll Davis, or " Doc" Pardee, or Ilillic lljrnc was something cheerfully to be dispensed with. So 'twas several weeks later than commencement day, and the end of the grind, before John llracey inall hislong legged quilclessness of guie, stood by the side of excellent Mrs Reade and waited to meet "the heart breaker of Rincon Hill," with all tin dumb jocoscness of a crouching cat.eveing an approaching mole. The outline of that meeting is correctly given by Mr. Shirley. (CONTINUr.D ON LAST PAGE.) C B. DOLE, CmutHflor at Law ami Xntavjt '-, 15, Kamiimnu Strfft 205-56 CMITH & THURSTON.
