Never had Mrs. Thorno seen devotiou
so ielic.-it»-. as thai, aiiiplaj ed by Nic.holas.
Every uioj-tiiiig, imijiedLiUly after break
fast, be haKU-nod away to see aUait tho
work on his aunt's house every noon he
retiuiied with suggestions for iniprove
meuls and Coim:ni» m.v.-. that he detailed
to Mrs. Thorno, with an iuterest and on
tiiusiasm that tijk ber vanity -npiive.
Ifc.'Votioti t" Hora's iniimma w is i«ure to
Iw apprn.iuto.1 by i'rs. Thi-rnc it wan
the drtaui of her Itcari that her siii-in
law should be in love with herself. Fur
nival was now at work u[mu the house,
and it pleased Mrs. Thorno to fancy that
tho iinp'-tiiuus Nicholas must worry the
life out if that dilatory mechanic.
"Not that 1 am in haste to liavo you
leave us, iuint. Vim un-k rstarul," said
Nicholas, biu.si'ing. when rallii-d ujxm
his energy in pushing on the work.
Mra. Thorne ttumght edie did urKler
stand i»^rf»?ctly. It wai out of tiie ques
tion that Flora should 1* uiarrieil in an»
other bolide than her moiin-r's. Furaiv.-vl
had t*.H u Inward to say to N e:hola-: W!R-U
a boy lak you ikes marrvm' notion he
stands fair to make adurned f.ml of bim
self." That Furnivai, the carpenter,
should presum to make such a sjH.'.'C.h
to Col. Thorue's sou was immensely
amusing to Mrs. lA-onnrd Thorno. Shi
tried to jiersuade Ni hokvs to tell her
what bad provoked it, but Nicholas ouK"
turned w.rarlet an«i (pjiukiy changed tho
subject.
When b" was not with Furnivul Nich
di'voted himself to F!"£'H, doirif all
that a young man mavto win a maiden's
favor for no did ardently 'e sire to win
bis cousin's favor that he. might count
upon her womanly sympathy.
Missy raged over this state of things.
"Jke-r Nicholas ain't no mo" use to niu
thuri a d-tUn' hen," she declared. It re
iptiivd Giory-Ann's strictest, vigilance to
keep the child from dogging tho steps of
the two young people.
As for Flora, she wa» sorely perplexed,
Nicholas h:ul i uv*.r been su attractive to
her jus now. Alone with his pretty cousin,
he abandoned all pretcn-v to gavety, and
gave iiiiusvlf up toasadne-s that was not
without its fa--jcinati...ai for a young giri's
heart and there wi-re moumnts when
Flora hai'dly knew v, In-ther..hi- preferred
her cousin or Aleck Oagt?.
And t.hei-i» was Al.i.'i (iago ct.iining
every few days. "Wonder what makes
him such a fool?" was the colonel's un
spoken comment. "Hut it's Flora's privi
lege to keep him dungiiug."
Nicholas did uot quit the ylor or the
piaz/.a when Aftcii txune now, aiul be
always ma le one of tho party when a
walk was proposed but when once they
were iut iu tiie siirubbery, Nicholas dis
ap[ear(xi.
This waa Missy's hour of triumph,
when she pouno-d upon her brother, ami
iiore him off to inspect a bird's nost, to
carve her name in tho u"k of a tree, to
make etchings with a thorn upon the
leaves of the century plant.
And thu was also young Aleck's bour,
when be wa-v.-d eloquent and con'dden
tii.il though never a hint would hiss- -fjs.
of honor permit him to breathe of the
gbm]tsti that had iu'eii given him of
Nicholas Tiiorne's h'-.irt.
In this state of things Flora was sorry
for Nicholas, and angry with him, too.
Often she fancied tluit he was upon the
point of speaking but lacked tho cour
age, which was ind'i-d the case. She
v, i,sb# he could speak, that they might
come to an understanding and yet she
dread'-d to have him speak, knowing
what wrath and bitterness would foliow
upon her answer. Every member of the
family, she was well aware, would take
"Nicholas' part everyIxidy would biamo
her exempt Aleck (Juge. If Nicholas
would only be content to be a brother!
And all that Nicholas desired was that
Flora should bo to him as a siitx-r.
