bv na) i sgelow.
White lay the snow over roof, over wold
White hung the moon in the frosty sky;
And haddled sheep, that crouched in the fold.
Wore the white raiment dropped from on high.
But a little window rustic and old.
Gleamed cheerily red on the wanderer nigh.
A painter passed on his way, that night;
"What a scene for a study." the painter said;
'Fairly gleams that ruby light.
Icicle fringe It from overhead;
"Ob, moon, thoa art ghostly! Ob, world, thou
art white!
I ll look In the window all warm and red."
So lie looked but whatever his eye might se
His pencil told not, his lips wen dnmb.
I might guesi, but who would listen to me!
And the day! of the painter have told their
sum.
Would you know, yon n-.nst wait till yonr s.ul I
free,
And you two meet In the world to come. j
Here is the study the painter wrought;
A little way off that window glows,
And the print of children"s feet are brought
Up to the doorway, athwart the snows,
And the moonbeams fell like an afterthought,
Aud silver their pathway w ho now repose.
Cold shows the world and the sky round about.
And warm breaks that ruddy light between;
Or the painter" thought I need not doubt.
For long like his study his life has been;
Ah, long time his lot was to walk without.
From the one light apart In a wintry scene.
Hut I hope, where the white flake freer no
moro,
I hope, where winter ijovt r and gone.
For the cold of the.nlght that went before
He almost forgets how he made his mean;
And almost forgets how they closed the door,
Anil doomed him to work in tha worldalone
uoJiAMi; or a uriLi nt; match.
The hour fcirthc dailr Jit-inissal of
Hih School had arrived, and
dow n the steps of their separate en
trances poured the streams of girls
and biys, first these of the lower
classes, and after aa interval, the
younjr ladies and gentlemen of the
graduating class, a dozen perhaps of
each sex. A3 the two groups came
round the corner of the building, in
view of each other, one of the young
men, the acknowledged favorite of
ihc class, stepped quickly across the
intervening grass plat to intercept the
gi.ls.
"Curly Crcightou's oa forbidden
territory, I mean to report him,"
ang out Belle Dargoyne, a sparkling
little brunette, also a privileged char
acter, dividingthe honors with Creigh
to:i. "What, Belle! After IVe wasted

and he laid bis hand over his heart,
in mock pain; then, hastily dolling
his cap and tossing back his curls,
which had gained for him his sobri
quet, he said, with a weeping bow,
"Ladies, I am appointed a commit
tee of one to request yon to step back
into the domicile you have just quii
ieJ and meet my colleagues and my

portance not only to ourselves but to

Here he changed his mock heroic
manner and urged in his own euial
tone, ' ! come, girls, every one of

two of the oldt r girls were proof
against Lis persuasions and walked
off, while! the remaining nine follow

where tho young men were already
assetnt le'd.
"Here they ore," cried Curley;'' I

"Oh, no Curly! It was your irre

Dean Dupreese, as she sank languid
lv down upon the nearest bench.
"What's it for?" "What does it
mean?" "Ob! I'm so hungry. Do
hurrv up and explain." "I'm con
sumed with curiositv." "Curly re

sides as the girls disposed themselves
about the room. "I move that Creigh-

from several voices, and Curley step
ped upon the platform.
"Lonians, countrymen, (a bow to
the gentle,) and lovers," (to the la
dies, which was resented by sundry
shrugs, up-lifted noses, and grimaces
at the speaker.) "I come to serve
you, not to praise myself, so 1 will
omit my inaugural address and pro
ceed at once to state the business of
the meeting. Our learned colleague
and friend, Mr. llolcombe, who hails,

Yho"il join me in a glorious ca

cheering the orator as he wiped his
glowing face. "I subside in favor
of llolcombe, who will now take the

tion, and crossing over to where
Luih Deneaa stood tapping her mu
sic roll impatiently, llolcombe a

as he made hit way to the front
"I fear," he said, "that Creigbton

"What a miserable subterfuge,
said Belle, blushing brightly. "He
was glad of ft pretext, and I'll tell
him so."
"That leaves us," said llolcombe,
"ten ladies and" counting rapijly
"eleven of the sterner sex."
"I'll be Xo. 21, the superfluous
man," called Crdghton, from Miss
Denean's side. I'll attend to the
conveyance and assigning partners,
&c, and make myself as useful as
my beauty will permit "
""But I don't think I will go," said
Ruth in lofty tones;
"Oh, Ruthic, you must. Why,
you've alwayB been eur very best
speller," cried Katbie Brandon.
"We shouldn't stand a ghost of a
chance cf beating, if you are not
with us, Rutbie, put in little Down

"Better go, Miss Ruth, and look to
your laurels," Baid Creighion, sotto
voce. 'HoIcombeV got a flame out
there that be says they'll put against
a whole city-full, and Webster's Un
abridged tbrown in."
Miss Denean flashed uneasily. Up
t that moment she bad never, in
her thoughts, associated any person
but herself with Kex llolcombe.
True, he never attended any of their j
gatherings, but hia home being out
of the city, accounted for that, an-1
the possibility of his spending bin
evening wjth any other companions
had never occurred to her. He was
approaching her atlhat moment. "I
say, llolcombe, was that your divin
ity who is to vanquish us all to-morrow
night, that I saw you helping
off the train this morning? I almost
felt icady to acknowledge myself con
quered in advance. . Such eyes, and
lips, and hair!" 1 And Crcighton
struck an attitude indicating com
plete helplessness at the mere recol
lection. llolcombe looked annoyed as be
answered:
"Have done with your nonsense,
Creigbton. Reserve Iboae attitudes
until we see whether tbey do not be
come real. Miss Delean, I hope to
have the pleasure of introducing to
you, to-morrow nigut, a friend of
mine, the lady in question, and also
to tho other members of the class,"
he added hastily.
"Oh, that's understood," said Belle
Burgoyne. "Ruth Crst the rest of
us fullowicg in her train. I intend
to stand next to her when she gets
the medal, commencement day re
flect honors, you know."
Ruth was indeed looked upon by
all the class as the "medal girl,"
while Holcombe's prowess was not
disputed as first among the other
sex.
"I'll bet on Ruth Denean," was
beard from among ft group of boys,
iu Jones Taliaferro') shrill tones.
So will I," mi iTirwut ecvcrul eager
voices.
"You sec, Miss Ruth, the polls are
open and betting's lively. You'll
nave to go," saiel iluggles woo was
standing near.
"Why, you have not thought of
refusing, Miss Denean?" interrogated
llolcombe.
I cannot decide yet. I will let you
know in the morning. Now I must
go to my music lesson, llerr Goetz is
painfully punctual," and sho moved
off, while, as Belle had said, tho rest
followed in her train.
When morning came the had made
her decision. Xes, she would go.
She wanted to fee this "rustic beau
ty" cf llolcombe 'd she said, with a
fierce pain at her heart; he had call
ed her his friend; no doubt it meant
more than friend; but Ruth Denean
drew her Gnc figure up to its full
height, as she thought how she could,
if so minded, eclipse this rustic beau-
tv by her accomplishments; for Luth
was an only child, upon whom ad
vantages had been showered, but
who, from choice, was pursuing the
curriculum of the public High School,
confessedly the first in whatever she
attempted.
When, next morning, she passed
llolcombe in the ball, and met his
questioning look, she nodded, bright
ly, an aflirmative, and passed into
her class room.
It was arranged that llolcombe
should go out on the usual train and
put all things in readiness for their
reception. Ruth had searcely given
a tnougnt as to tbeir manner of
reaching there, and it was therefore
will no surprise that she found
waiting for her in the
parlor. "My number is changed,"
said be as be rose to meet her. "I'm
either two or twentv. accordinz to
whether you're first or nineteen.
Congratulate me upon being no su
perfluity. "You see, be went on ex

said he thought it better for him to
go on, to perfect arrangements, bat I
shrewdlr suspected that ft certain
little lady who goes out on the train
was partly responsible for bis zeal.
I often see them together. She comes
in twice a week to the Art School. J
Hope you're in good trim for 6peliing
to-night, Ruth," he went on. "We
mast beat them. But here's the bus.
I hear Belle's voice. She's got Tal
iaferro in tow." And Rath followed
him out to the conveyance, which j
proved to be the long-drawn-out ve
hicle of i Institute, procured
through the untiring efforts of Curly
A chorus of voices greeted their
appearance. "Are all here?" asked
Ruth as Curly assisted her up tbe
steps. "Yes, you're tbe last on the
list," said one ef the younger boys
near tbe door. "Best wins, you
know, Miss Rutb."
"Oh Rutbie, we're so glad you de
cided to come. We know you'll get
the prize," cried Katie Brandon.
"You know its ft Webster."
"My father said he'd sit op to help
me tn with it," said Belle Burgoyne,
"but I told him I wouldn't put him
to that trouble."
"Here, Creigbton, you can sand
wich Miss Ruth in bet-ween me and
Ruggles, and you can stand and im
prove the opportunity to grow a lit
tle," called out Jones Taliaferro in
his piping voice.
"Tolivar, my boy," said Curley,
lifting him . lightly out of his seat,
and dexterously slipping into his
place between Belle and Both. "My
fiv feet ten are the height of my
ambition. I'll tarn my chance over
to yop "
"Bell, does your gallantry allow
you to sit tamely by and, cee me thus
"j ruthlessly torn from yonr side?
'Oh, JoDesv, if you can stand it, I
will try and sit still," laughed Belle,
as she nestled down rather content
edly at Curley's elbow.
"Did you know, Ruth, Ruggles
has brought his violin along, at Hol
combe's request, and we've to try
the terpsicborean after we've sent
those bummers to their last orthog
raphical account," said Creighton.
"Tread the mazy on the light fan
tastic," interpolated Taliaferro.
"That's charming. Mr. Ruggles,"
said Rutb, whereat Ben blushed vio
lently. "And Katie's brought the music of
those divine waltzes. We're to have
both piano and violin," and Bel'c
hummed a bar from a favorite.
Meanwhile they were rapidly leav
ing the city behind them. 1'resently
tbey reached the avenue where were
a few miles f splendid drive. The
horses' hoofs rang right merrily, and
jests and laughter, and snatches of
song floated out on the still air in
pleasant harmony. Lt-avingthe av
enue they entered up n a road less
level.
'Once more unto tlia breach,"
screamed Taliaferro, as a sudden
lurch precipitated him between Belle
and Curly.
"Tolivcr, bo calm: inaintaiu yonr
equilibrium," suggested the latter.
"I see the lights of the village,"
said Jones a3 he regained his foot
ing. "Gleaming through the mist of
your imagination, I fancy," said Belle
testily. "I believe if we were to op
set, Jor.es Tolivcr wouldn't forget to
qaote."
"He saw stars I've no doubt when
he fell," said Creighton, "and thought
tbey were the lights of Waverly."
Before Jones could quote a fitting
reply tho others announced that he
wa3 right, and soon they were enter
ing the main street of a straggling
village. They drew up before a plain
white edifice which proved to be a
church for Sunday's uses, but which
was made available for all festal gath
erings of the villago folk.
"There's the elite of Waverly,
drawn up in rank and file to meet us,
with llolcombe at their head," said
Curley to Ilatb, as they prepared to
alight. She felt her heart beat an
comfortly as she saw Holcombe's
tall furm in the broad stream of light
which issued from the door. But her
hand was firm as she laid it in his
extended palm and spraog lightly to
the ground.
"In good time," be said heartily,
"we had not yet begun to be impa
tient." Rutb felt a little jealous pang, as
she thought he was too well cnter
taiced, perhaps, to note the time.
Sho. wnileroU . which of tbe face
clustered about tho door wa3 that of
the "rural champion," as she cow
disdainfully styled her. There was
a good deal of rustling and shaking
of drapery, as the city girls prepared
to follow llolcombe into the church.
Ruth designedly held back until they
bad all passed in. Then she took
Creighton's arm and with ber utmost
cxprra.iment swept in. llolcooibes
quick eye noted her manner, but ig
noring it be stepped forward, saying
cordially, "Mies Ratb, one of our
referees has not yet arrived, we are
improving tbe time by becoming ac
quainted," and he introduced several
of the joiiog people standing near.
Rutb threw a searching glance over
tbe room and saw Curly in tbo act of
making bis best bow to a slight girl
whose face was from her. Immedi
ately she turned, Ruth's heart sank.
She had time to see a sweet spiritual
face lit up by liquid eyes and framed
in by fruffy masses of hair, the whole
surmounting a small dark robbed
figure with a certain nameless
in contour and motion. Iney were
comintr her way and Holcombe's
voice was heard to say:
"Ah, here Miss Ruth, permit me,
My friend, Miss Dinsmore, Mis De
neane, Racbie."
"Your name is not unfamiliar to
me, Miss Dcncane," said Rachael
Dinsmore, iu her sweet flexible tone?
"I trust you ladies will become
friends before you become rivals in
the coming contest," said llolcombe.
"I must leave vou now. I sec our
referee has come," and he hurried
away.
Creighton remained and Rath no
ticed a curious consciousness about
him that she could not recall in all
her previous acquaintance with bim.
He was not bis own sunny self, and
as for herself, Ruth found it impossi
ble to unbend before this frail girl
who chatted with unaffected ease for
their entertainment. Sho was soon
relieved by tbe meeting being called
to order. A referee was chosen from
the ranks cf tbe city class it was
Ruirzles. and Rutb saw to her sur
prise that as tbe contestants ranged
tbcmselves on tneir respective siaes
of the long rsoni, with the visitors
occupying the seats between, that
llolcombe was to pronounce lor
them. In a few words he explained
that tbe difficulty of his position wa3
apparent. He could not ligit against
bis present class being one oi tnem,
while od tl e other hand, he could not
array bimselr against the school
mates of his earlier days. "They
havo settled the matter for mo by
putting me here under protest How
ever, I shall try to meet out justice
and bard words to all, although 1
make no choice of the words myself,
bat simply pronounce the list B3 se
lected."
A moment of expectant sucnce,
and the contest began. After a half
hours' spirited work, ihe ranks were
reduced to one-third cf their first di
mensions. Ruth saw Deaa Dupress
siuk down with ber usual noncha
lance, after missio? tho word "Be-
leaguerer."
"Too energetic for b.r," whispered
Janes to Belle.
"Immolated" biought down Creigh
ton, to the surprise of all, himself in
cluded. A victim upon the alter of or
thography," he said as be took bis
seat by tbe side of the Dean.
"Deciduous" and "hypocracy" had
their victims on the other side; and
as Ruth spelled tbe latter she saw to
her dismay that there remained on
her side only Belle Jones and Katbie
lira ad oo, while Miss Dinsmore was
supported by two bright eyed girls,
a small boy and three sturdy rustics,

IIis companion quickly followed
on "Bourgeois," which Belle spelled
witn cer black evc3 dancing.
Here were now left the three fair
combatants on each side. Tbe con
test grew lively, but, alas! for Belle,
In an evil hour she made a respon
sive grimace to Curly at the same
moment that it came her turn to
spell "ticdouloureux." She Fpelled
nastily to cover her embarrassment.
The o"s and the u's were too many
for her; sho got them inextricably
confused, and sat down burning at
her discomfiture.
One cf the girl's on Mis Dins
more side fell stricken by the same
attack, and poor Katbie Brandon
succumcd without aa effori at resist
ance. Miss Dinsmorc's remaining
ally got through with it, but on the
next round "Obeisance" compelled
her to make her bow, and Ruth De
nean and Rachael Dinsmore confron
ted each other on the floor, unsup
ported. Rachie's slight figure sway
ed with excitement, while Ruth's
fine physique had never shown to
such an advantage, aa she stood im
movable betraying no sign of the
perturbation raging ia her breast.
There was a strained stillness in the
room. Curley wa3 watching Rach
ael, with his soul ia his eyes. ' Hoi
combo resolutely kept his eyes on
the list before him, his voice rininsr
out with startling distinctness on
each word. The girls spelled delib
erately, each, as if holding her pow
ers in reserve. At length it was
suggested that foreign words be tried,
and a list with the meanings affixed
was handed to llolcombe. He glanc
ed at Rachael who nodded affirma
tively, then at Ruth, who made an
imperative gesture with her hand,
and began. Was there a fatality in
the words? He began to think so as
be gave them out. "Affiance," to
Rachael; "Bel!es!ettre3," to Rutb;
"Surveillance," "Canailie," "Trous
seau," "Bellesprit," "Potpourri,"
"Beconnoissance," followed each oth
er ia slow succession. "Bonhomie"
he put to Rachael, who spelled it
with a smile. "Coup-de-rgace" to
Both "a stroke of mercy a finish
ing stroke. tlia Toice Tang out s
ne gave tbe explanation.
There was aa instant of intense
silence then, without a quiver of the
lips, B3 she opened her glowing eyes
to their lullest extent, to the surprise
of her friends, who knew bow ac
complished she was in French, she
said, in a distinct voice. "I do not
kuow how to spell it," and walked
proudly to a seat. "Died game!"
T'lucky, by jove!" "Good grii!" and
sundry expressions of tbe like, were
heard from different quarters of the
room. Tho Webster wa3 awarded
to Rachael, amid ringing cheers in
which the vanquished joined lustily,
and Curly sprang over the top3 of
the benches to hold it for her, quite
forgetful cf Ruth, who sat pale and
apathetic. The meeting broke up in
enthusiasm. aVs Ruth was adjusting
her wrappings, llolcombe approach
ed her. "Shall I have the p'easure
of. escorting you to my uncles?
Creigbton seems oblivious to every
thing but tho present owner ot the
dictionary." He drew out his watch.

his companion neared them. "Are

walk, with only time, for the inter
change cf a few common places,
brought them to the hospitable man
sion cf Mr. Tronstine. wbicb had for
years been the home of Rex Hoi
combe. Here they found a tew in
timate friends of his waiting their ar
rival. Ruth felt greatful to llol
combe that he refrained from men
tioning what had passed, and deter
mined to reward his kindness by en-
joying tne evening. nn sucn
spirit3 as Belle and Curly to set tne
ball rolling, mirth was soon estab
lished.
Rachael was the heroine of the
hour, and Ruth, with inimitable tact
and grace, added her congratulations
to tho rest.
"But Ruth," said Belle, "Didn't
you know how to spell it?"
"I dida t at that moment, .belle."
"And had the courage to say so,"
patia Taliaferro, w ho kept close in
Belle s wake.
A stir ia another part of tbe room
attracted their attention; a dance
was proposed and sets were forming
far a quadrille. Curly had secured
Miss rJensmore's band in advance
and they took their places, while
Rath smiled at his oblivion to ber.
llolcombe stopped at her side. "The
sets are full Miss Denean, but will
you dance the next with me?" She
assented and ho left ber to look after
his other guests.
A new sensation had come tv her.
True, she bad been defeated by the
pale little thing over there dancing
with Curly, but no sign of disap
pointment in her had been manifested
in Holcombe's demeanor, and the
chagrin she had felt was fast giving
place to a pleasurable feeling that
ahe accepted without attempting to
analyze it. When be came for her a
fuller life seemed pulsing in ber
veins, ber distant manner was gone,
and Rex llolombe felt that for some
reason unknown to himself, be was
seeing her in a new and different
phase. There was little opportunity
for conversation, but in thinking of it
afterwards llolcombe could not re
member a pleasanter sensation than
that he experienced while moving
throneK the measore br tbe side cf
this stately girl. He led ber to
seat flashed and happy, but they were
not to be left to the tete both longed
for. : Curly made his way towards
them,
"Ruth!" he cried in his old impet

' ii"e;?ir, come, I can never dance it
with satisfaction with any one but
you.
"But, Curly, you know I objected
lo round dances on principle," said
Ruth demurely.
JusttLi3 once, Ruth, for auld
lang syne," and she was born off.
A few other couples set out with
them, but soon they were left alone
the cynosure of a"ll eves. Curly's
dancing was undeniable a pleasant
thing to contemplate, while Ruth's
admirers enthusiastically declared
her's to be the "poetry of motion "
"If I could dance lik that. Ilex,''
said Racbie in an undcrbreath.
llolcombe did not reply, he seem
ed afraid of losing one movement of
the form before him. An! Ruth,
this is worth the defaat of aa hour
ago.
"A waltz, Katbie," whispered Cur
ly, as they passed her at the piano.
The raeasuio changed. Ruggle's
violin thrilled through the room in
one of the never to be forgottoa mel
odies of Strauss. Katliie played a
threbbing undertone of accompani
ment. Ruth's lips par ed s!ightly;i
her lids fell over eves w:ioso intense j
glow seemed but half concealed by
tho drooping lasbes. Her color came
and went. A l.ingurous passion
seemed to inform her every motion.
How long they revolved to those
matchless strains she never knew,
but sweeping past Ilolcodibo she
saw bis shinmz eves fixed unoa her
with a strange, new glance. It
tangled through her veins like wine,
and sho awoke to a realization of
time and place. "Xo more to-night
