A number of letter* were await

of Newly, on bis return from pa

rather dirtingolshed looking, it
will therefore surprise no one that
he was accustomed to receive ?
great many av+botly-Scented, deli

Selected for perusal. Scrawled on
the lip of the envelope were these
words: "Bring Myrtle."
Colonel Haldane put up hi3 gen
tlemanly eyeglass, and held his
head a little on one side; he twisted
his iron gray mustache into a yet
more poignant expression as he in
spected those curious words: "Bring

had placed him, with due regard to
his complexion, in ? shadowy cor

two occasions when he had taken
wa there, and had introduced
him to some decp-toned matrons, as
inn that direction lay his natural
bias, and now this stately yaunE
lady sends him the jocular post
script bidding him "Bribg Myrtle!"
Colonel Haldane sat down in the
comfortable red velvet chair which
faced the parade ground, and com
manded a fine view of the ever com
panionable sea. The little rip.

infant smiles to-day, and the buoy

Anil with that lie retreated to
the mess room.
"Blossoming shrub," murmured
Colonel Haldane., "Bloss bis Hi*

And with that hesatdown-athis

lowing letter:

"Send the.finest flowering myrtlo
you possess to the following address:
Miss Florence While. TheQrange,
Porterdowti, Sussex. The myrtle
must arriye on the afternoon of
September the 7th, one week from
this date."
The Culunel Haldane rang the
bell hastily, and told his, men to
post the letter. This. &/ne, he
placed the note from Miss Florence
White in the pocket of his frugged
coat, Knd then proceeded to read
the rest of his correspondence.
******
The afternoon of the 7$<fuly ar
rived, and with a strange palpitat
'lugbl tolhsve aroused bis suspici
ous M m the exact state of bis sus
cepetibilitios), Colonel Haldane
drove up in his little hoodod carri
age, with the tigerjumpingupand
dunn bebiud, to the gates of The
Grange.
Hero comes the pig In the pofc:e,"
said Fulicity White, a younger
daughter who was given to using
her brains iu off band criticism.
"If a man will drive a carriage
with a hood, wbat is one to call
him but a pig in a poke, you know?
He is fidgeting at the gate most
awfully, Florence; do come aud
look."
"I like that hooded carriage,"
said Florence. And then she turned
with ready grace to meet Colonel
Haldane, who had just entered the
room. "Felicity and I were drawn
to the window by the magnetical
influence of your charming little
carriage," she said. "1 so admire
your 'poke.'"
"Do you?'' said Culonel Haldane,
gratefully. "It is very kind of
you!" who answered to the ubiqui
tous name and then he looffec^
steadfastly at Florence, absolutely
blushing as be did so.
Florence, catching the glance in
terrogative, was arrested in her
amiable intention Of transporting
him to the other end of the long,
lone drawing roort, and introduc
ing him to Mrs. Harlingtou, the
rector's wife. This agitated gen
tleman did not look exactly in a
fit state to be discoursed to about
winter blanket clubs and working
men's clubs aud friendly tooieUes.
It's all very find (o (aft about
leadiug an uppuizled existence,
like Jan.eAuBten; butuAi/on estrlh
did Colonel Haldane look at her
with thisunfathonableglance frum
bis undeniably fine gray eyes?
What did it mean? She fell away
from him, musing, aud turned the
outwdrd machinery of trite com
mon places'^ her greeting of the'
numerous guests, who were now
rapidly arriving.
The White* had just started a
page, of "Tommy;" one of, tbo?e
specimen* much adapted by ambi
tion* mirtrtm u an improvement
on parlor maidi; a creature raw off
the field*, with the e$pte**ion of <n

denly darted into the room, and
made straight for Hi** Florence
White, carrying in hit lobster col

P. D. Company.

and ahe remembered hearing that
he had .been obliged to tfkve bia

look at him quite tenderly, at these
thougbtaflitted phantom-like about
her..
''Thank you, Captain Haldane,"
ahe aajd., "You bave aaved me the
trouble ef fetching my ]>urse. Thia
ia a new boy?country mannera,

and, amiling pleaaantly, the moved
out of the room after the vanishing
figure of Tommy. (
In the round, roomy hall stood a
huge tub matted op and bearing
the name "Au Myoaotis, a Men
ton," etc.
"It'a a flowering myrtle, miaa,"
aaid Tommy; "the biggest the car
rier says it over fell to hia duty to
deliver."
"Fetch a pair of fardeninjacie
8ora, Tommy," aaid Miaa White;
"and another time never venture
to bring P. D. C. books into the
drawing-rpom. Go.to the houae
keeper with that k'ind'of thing."
Tommy took the color natural to
him in yet deeper hues, and ran
for the sciaaors, Miaa White aoon
snipped the detaining strings, and
gave way to a ver^nata;^ delight
as the atarry blossoming myrtle
waa exposed to view.
"Very odd," ifae thought, "it'a
addreaaed unmistakably to -me;?
Poor Colonel Haldaaet What does
TlSewSF*''
Thinking again of the shaven
head and the bombardment uf Alex
andria, she aighed a little pensive
ly and somewhat compassionately,
and thon returned to tfca drawing
room just in time to escape the en
try of Mra. Danvera, whose foreat
cart, drawh by a lovely pair of
Welah ponies, ahe 6aw tflriiing in
at the galea. That lady now en
tered, followed by har Inseparable
companion, a perfect Dandy Din*
mont, a long-bodied, low-legged,
flap-eared,pedigreedcreature.wbich
rejoiced in the possession of seven
prizes.
Florence immediately made a
rush at the dog.
"Ab! you have brought,Myrtle.
I was afraid when 1 sanr you this
morning that you would forget,
though I mentioned it in my uole."
Both ladies had taoved in the
difefc'tion where still Mt Oolong
Haldane, plunged in itartled re
flections, in the recess of the win
dow. Wm this long-baclccd, low
legged, flapeufeJ dug the honored
object of that message? ,
''Of course I brought dear old
Myrtldj" fetotted Mrs. Dan vers.
"I shouldauffocataof an afternoon
if I badu't a bit of natural life like
that trusty Scutobman about me."
"Now it's explained!" said a deep
voice from behind tbe anjber cur
tain, and Culunel Haldane came
forward once more.
The hesitation ofliis manner had
vanished; he was smiling serenely,
and bis eyes were fixed with an ex
pression of perfect understanding
on the countenance of Miss White.
"Bring MyrtUJT he continued,
-laughingly. ''This is Myrilel Ri
val Myrtles there may be, but this
form of Myrtle can't be improved
uponP1
Again Miss White's pupils en
larged sympathetically. Worse
and worse! Poor Colonel Haldane!
She trembled" for bis reason. Not
so Mrs. Danvers. Fixing him wth
her bright eyes, she said:
